"This castle is already beginning to feel like home" Max says as he enters his castle.

"Soon, we will have another castle in Ignis that will feel just as great" Oichi says in delight as she follows her lord.

"You will need to work quickly" Mitsunari says as he Masanori and Kiyomasa approach Max and Oichi. "Hideyoshi is getting stronger by the minute and won't hesitate to challenge you again"

"I heard that he has a really powerful Charmander" Masanori says.

"No, he has a powerful Chimchar" Kiyomasa says.

"Charmander"

"Chimchar"

"Charmander!"

"Chimchar!"

"Knock it off, you two! And Kiyomasa was right with Chimchar" Mitsunari says.

"Ha" Kiyomasa laughs.

"While you three bicker, Oichi and I are going to Ignis for a showdown with Hideyoshi" Max says.

"Good luck, Lord Max" Masanori says. "Watch out for Charmander"

"Chimchar!" Kiyomasa says.

In Ignis, Hideyoshi is surprised when he finds challengers in his castle.

"Who's visiting Ignis at a time like this?" he says.

"Um… they aren't visitors" Koroku says.

"They want to challenge you to a battle" Nagayasu says

"Is it the nerd from Greenleaf? Or the hippie from Fontaine? No, it has to be that old guy in Pugilis, right?" Hideyoshi asks.

"It's actually the Warriors from Aurora who beat us last time" Koroku explains.

"Have no fear, you two. For your Lord Hideyoshi, mua, is here to give them a lesson or two about attacking Ignis." Hideyoshi declares "I will see them on the battlefield"

"Didn't Koroku and Nagayasu leave a while ago to find Hideyoshi?" Max asks. "It shouldn't take this long to find their Warlord"

"Oh, look! There they are!" Oichi says.

"Go for it, Bidoof!" Nagayasu says.

"Tepig! Do it for Lord Hideyoshi!" Koroku says.

"Show them our fire, Chimchar!" Hideyoshi says.

"Come on, Jigglypuff!" Oichi says

"I know you can do it, Eevee" Max says.

"Watch out for the fire, or it'll give you the heat" Hideyoshi laughs. "Oh, I crack myself up"

"He's right, Lord Max" Oichi says. "That fire may not hurt Tepig and Chimchar, but it will hurt our Normal-types. We better be careful"

"Use Ember on that Eevee, Chimchar" Hideyoshi commands as Eevee is burned by its fire.

"Go behind it and use Quick Attack!" Max says. Eevee tries, but Chimchar goes on the lava to keep it save from the attack.

"Tepig, show Jigglypuff your Ember!" Koroku orders. Jigglypuff dodges, but is right in the path of Bidoof.

"Now's your chance! Use Headbutt!" Nagayasu tells his Pokémon. Jigglypuff is hit hard, but manages to get a direct hit on Bidoof with DoubleSlap.

"Chimchar, use Ember on Eevee again" Hideyoshi orders.

"Dodge and use Quick Attack" Max tells his partner. Eevee dodges it and hits Chimchar, but not that hard.

"Tepig! Help Lord Hideyoshi with Ember!" Koroku says as Tepig does just that.

"Headbutt that Jigglypuff, now!" Nagayasu says.

"Stop its attack with DoubleSlap!" Oichi says. Jigglypuff's second DoubleSlap finishes Bidoof.

"Stupid Pokémon! You're not even a Fire-type!" Nagayasu yells at Bidoof.

"H-how could you say that to your own partner?" Oichi says.

"Tepig, use Ember on that Jigglypuff!" Koroku says as Tepig hits Jigglypuff hard.

"Chimchar! Do the same to Eevee!" Hideyoshi orders. However, Eevee dodges the attack.

"Hit it from behind, Eevee! I know you can do it!" Max says. Eevee hits Chimchar, but suddenly the volcanic battlefield begins to erupt.

"Watch out, Jigglypuff!" Oichi cries to her Pokémon.

"Ha! Scared of a little magma? You two will never conquer my Ignis!" Hideyoshi laughs.

"Eevee! Use Quick Attack on Tepig!" Max tells it. Eevee moves toward Tepig, but a boulder falls in the way.

"Jigglypuff! Try to hit Tepig too!" Oichi says, but the same problem gets in the way.

"Show Ember to Jigglypuff, Chimchar!" Hideyoshi says. Jigglypuff is burned and it does a lot of damage.

"Grrr… Use Quick Attack on Tepig, Eevee!" Max says. Eevee hits Tepig hard and finishes it off.

"Come on, Tepig! Let's retreat!" Koroku says.

"Oh no! Jigglypuff!" Oichi cries as she sees her Pokémon faint from its burn.

"It looks like it's just you and me now, newbie" Hideyoshi says. "Chimchar! Ember! Now!"

Chimchar hits Eevee, but it survives. "I know you can beat Chimchar, Eevee. Use Quick Attack!" Max says.

Eevee hits Chimchar directly and wins the battle.

"What?! How could Chimchar lose?!" Hideyoshi says. "Fine! Take my castle! But I'm not done with you, Max!"

"Yeah! Ignis castle is ours!" Max says as Hideyoshi, Koroku and Nagayasu leave.

"Nicely done" a man says. "You must be the new Warlord of Aurora! I'm Keiji, a traveling Warrior. I was filling in as a temporary Warlord before you showed up! Now, I can wander free again once more! Your army looks pretty small. Do you know how to recruit more Warriors for your army?

"No. I haven't really seen any other Warriors" Max says.

"You have to look in places with wild Pokémon. Warriors looking for a leader often go there to train." Keiji says. "If you impress them, you will end up recruiting them. I happen to know a couple are in Ignis' cave. Why don't you go check it out?"

"Okay. Well, I guess we'll see you later" Max says.

"Yup. See ya!" Keiji says as he walks off.

"Lord Max, we should probably check out the cave" Oichi tells him.

"Right. Let's go!" Max says.

Inside the two find a wild Bidoof and Zubat. "I know you can do it, Eevee" Max says as he calls on his Eevee to start the fight.

"Come on, Jigglypuff!" Oichi says. "Use DoubleSlap on Zubat"

Jigglypuff hits Zubat with DoubleSlap, but is hit back by Wing Attack. "Eevee, use Quick Attack on Bidoof!" Max says. Eevee attacks Bidoof, but flinches from a Headbutt

"Jigglypuff, use DoubleSlap on both of them!" Oichi says. Jigglypuff follows its Warrior and knocks out Bidoof.

"Eevee! Finish off Zubat with Quick Attack!" Max says and they defeat the wild Pokémon.

"Well done" a man says as he walks over with another man and a tall man. "You seem like an impressive Warrior. We'd like to join your army, but only if you think you can beat us in battle."

"Okay!" Max says.

"I know you can do it, Eevee!" Max says.

"Come on, Jigglypuff!" Oichi says.

"Right now, Tepig!" the tall man says.

"Try your best, Darumaka!" the other man says.

"Give them everything you've got, Charmander!" the man says.

"Eevee, use Quick Attack on Darumaka!" Max says.

"Dodge and use Flame Wheel!" its Warrior commands. Darumaka dodges, but misses with Flame Wheel.

"DoubleSlap that Tepig, Jigglypuff!" Oichi says and Jigglypuff hits it hard.

"Use Ember, Tepig" the tall man says.

"You two, Charmander" the man says. Soon, Eevee and Jigglypuff are burned with fire.

"Eevee, try Quick Attack" Max says and they defeat Tepig.

"M-my Tepig" the tall man stutters.

"Darumaka, Flame Wheel on Jigglypuff!" its Warrior commands. Jigglypuff is hit hard.

"Jigglypuff! DoubleSlap it!" Oichi says.

"And Eevee, use Quick Attack!" Max says. The two Pokémon hit Darumaka and beat it.

"My Darumaka!" its Warrior cries.

"Charmander, use Ember on Eevee and dodge everything!" its trainer commands.

"Jigglypuff use DoubleSlap" Oichi says. Eevee is hit hard, but blocks Charmander's Ember while Jigglypuff attacks.

"Eevee! Now Quick Attack" Max says, but Charmander dodges and uses Ember to beat Jigglypuff.

"Oh, my Jigglypuff!" Oichi says.

"Finish it with Quick Attack, Eevee" Max says and Eevee avenges its friend by knocking out Charmander.

"What h-happened?" the man stutters.
