Words couldn't describe the feelings of eagerness the Trainers had as they were led off the cruise ship by the guides. Each of them had a burst of excitement within them. A feeling of a new challenge, a new place to battle, yet they each had nervousness. Yet that doubt was smothered away as all of them took their first step off the boat.

"Woah, it's amazing!"

"It's quite something."

"Definitely."

"Sw33t!"

Far away from the dock the cruise ship lay a gigantic tower, its steel armor and glass windows glinting in the afternoon sun. It was decorated in glossy panels, and its height well broke a hundred and fifty feet. Near the bottom of the structure, golden letters were attached to the building, reading Ascendence. Next to the building appeared to be a café of some sort, with dazzling neon lights flickering on and off. And, as the invitation letter promised, there was a wide and grand beach, with people running amok and splashing the water. On the left side of the building lay a visible amusement park, with roller coasters and ferris wheels and whatnot. The whole sight was a dazzling one; the Trainers could only stare in awe at the grand spectacle.

Breaking the momentary pause, Xavier ran toward the hotel, dragging his suitcase behind him. In the middle of his sprint, he shouted, "Catch you all later!"

The group watched him a split second before they too ran toward the hotel, others preferred walking. All the trainers entered the hotel, which was interiorly decorative as well. The Ascendence Hotel was as grand as they'd imagined. Trainers quickly got their room numbers and headed toward their to finish unpacking.

This was going to be one heck of a good time.


Xavier's head burst out of the water, gasping for breath. Yet there was a big grin on his face.

"That was awesome!"

He stood up, his wet hair poking his eyes. With a quick flick of his hand, it was gone. He turned his head to shore to his towel and parasol, and relaxed as he saw his lumpy shape of his headphones safely hidden underneath his towel. With that, he set his visions on the horizon. Another huge wave was barreling towards him. With one last grin, he adjusted his goggles and dove into the wave headfirst

The wave swallowed him in its immense power, sending Xavier cartwheeling on the beach floor. Xavier opened his eyes to see a frenzy of bubbles before he was sent upwards to the air again.


Egan Glare sat at the gates of the amusement park, looking at the others interestingly, riding insane thrill rides that propelled you to sky-high levels.

He wasn't the type for roller coasters.

Using his thumb and index finger, he flipped through the pages of his book, Legends of Johto. He found a folded page, sighed contently, and began reading. His eyes were a blur, moving back and forth and quickly reading the text laid before him. Flip, flip, flip.

He was in the middle of a rather interesting article about Ho-oh when a voice interrupted his reading frenzy.

"Um, excuse me? Do you mind if I read here with you?"

Egan looked up to see a young girl.

"My name's Tanni." She held her hand out.

"Egan Glare," Egan replied, shaking the hand. "You can read here, I guess. Fine with me."

Tanni smiled a little. "Thank you." She sat down and rummaged through her backpack to find a thick hardcover. She sat opposite of Egan and began to read.


"R0fl, epic pWnaGe by me!" a certain dark haired boy cheered. "F33l my wrath, nubz!"

He sat in the couch in the lobby, oblivious to anything besides the television screen and the controller, which he was rapidly clicking. His tongue stuck out in concentration. He held two hands up and yelled out a cheer.

"W00t, high sc0re! You can't pwn me, l0lz! My score's over 9000!11! Epic skillz FTW..."

"Hmph. Do pixelated graphics and machine-generated sound effects amuse you so much?"

The boy turned around to see a rather tall man, with a thin, bony figure. He wore a fancy black-and white suit. Italian, most likely. Above his crooked nose, the man's brown eyes gazed fiercefully at the boy.

The boy glared at him back. "Heck yeah, these games are PwnaGe!"

"... most dreadful. Do the majority of children your age enjoy these games?"

"H3llz Y3ah!"

"I'm afraid I can't understand a word that comes out of that mouth of yours."

"That's cuz I'm l33t, and u r just a n00b!"

"It seems you like just insulted me in your 'tech' language."

"Heck yeah I did!"

"Disrespectful little-"

"Hey, if we're gonna argue like nubz, we can settle this in battle!"

"...fine by me. Rather enjoyable, I might say. A painful lesson for you, however..."

"Hey, don't m3ss with me! I'll PWN you!"

"We'll see the results, won't we? There are some practice fields located in the back of the hotel."

The two made their way to the back of the hotel, glaring at each other the whole way. Down the elevator, through the doors, and onto the grassy terrain. The two took opposite ends of the battlefield, ready to prove who was the better battler. A referee was hired to judge the winner.

The referee announced, "Ready? The battle between Mr. Raffaele Vittore and, er..."

The boy grinned confidently as he held a round Pokéball in his hand.

"That's G.G., ready to PWN!"

The two launched their Pokeballs and watched them hit the ground at the same time, releasing bursts of energy. With anticipation, they awaited to see what each other's Pokemon was.


"Attention all participants of the Final Game Tournament! Your tournament begins tomorrow, with the first battles starting at 10 o' clock sharp. If you wish to practice for said battles, make your way to the back of the hotel, and battle there. Single and double battles are allowed. Thank you, and have an enjoyable rest of the day."

Numerous trainers heard the announcement and made their way to the end of the hotel.

Nikki Vasquez was one of those numerous trainers.

I'll need a practice partner, if I actually want a shot at winning...

She looked around, searching for a Trainer that was not already participating in another battle. She found what she was looking for.

"Hey, you! C'mere..." she said, dragging another girl with wavy brown hair by her arm.

"Uh...sure?"

"You and me, we're going to have a practice battle," Nikki said. "Name's Nikki. Yours?"

"..." The girl looked down at her feet, shyly. "Jessica. Jesse for short."

"Cool. Follow me to the practice fields." Nikki strode to the desired location, Jesse following her silently. They chose a rugged looking field with plenty of rocks and bumpy terrain.

"Okay, single battle. One round," Nikki said.

"Sure," Jesse nodded. She held a Pokéball in her hand, ready to battle.

"Go!"

Nikki's Pokéball flew out of her hand, as Jesse's did. The two burst, revealing a fiery Blaziken belonging to Jesse and a spiky Sandslash belonging to Nikki.

Nikki spoke first, "Sandslash, Rollout to get close and attack with a Slash!"

Sandslash obeyed quickly, forming itself into a tightly packed sphere. It rolled its way over quickly to Blaziken and burst, revealing two sharp claws, ready to tear.

"Blaziken!" Jesse shouted. "Blaze Kick before it can get to you!"

Raising its foot, Blaziken smashed Sandslash before it could swing its arm, sending the Sandslash flying far away. Shrugging the move off, Sandslash regained its momentum.

"Not bad," Nikki noted. "A different way of attack, Sandslash! Burrow into the ground with Dig, then pop up with surprise and attack with X-Scissor!"

"Get ready to attack with Sky Uppercut if you see it, Blaziken!" Jesse said.

The two Pokemon went to battle, with Sandslash burrowing into the ground, out of Blaziken's view. Blaziken went into a combat stance, ready to strike when its opponent appeared.

Immediately, Sandslash burst out of the ground, spikes pointed upward. It attacked swiftly; Blaziken couldn't react. With blistering fury, Sandslash performed an X-Scissor, using its rake-like claws. Blaziken staggered backwards from the direct attack.

"It's fine, Blaziken! Just don't let your guard down. Now, rush forward while it's vulnerable and Fire Punch it!"

"Sandslash, watch out! Counter with Shadow Claw!"

Blaziken moved forward while purple flames danced around Sandslash's claw. Blaziken threw its fist, flames forming a ring around it. It was blocked by the Shadow Claw, the two elemental attacks colliding. The two Pokemon kept holding their ground, the arms locked in combat. Finally, as the energy burst, both Pokemon were knocked backwards.

After the dust cleared, the two Pokemon were at the end of the field again, panting.


"Get 'em, Porygon-Z!"

"Do well, Gallade."

G.G. sent out his peculiar-looking artificial Pokemon, while Raffaele sent out his dual Psychic/Fighting Pokemon.

"Porygon-Z, Tri-Attack!"

Porygon-Z formed a triangle in front of it, and sent it flying towards Gallade.

"Break it with Slash."

With a swift movement of its arm, Gallade literally chopped the triangle attack in half, sending it flying in three directions.

"You must be using HAX! N00b..." G.G. muttered to himself. "Alright, Porygon-Z, PWN 'em with Thunderbolt and Ice Beam!"

Porygon-Z let out an electric cry as it unleashed a freezing beam of ice and a sparkling yellow bolt at the same time. The two projectile attacks headed toward Gallade, who eyed them with interest.

"Gallade, dodge!"

The Ice Beam attack barely missed as Gallade moved swiftly to the left, leaving a frozen patch of ice on the floor. The Thunderbolt attack zapped areas around Gallade, leaving holes in its path.

"Dangit! Sh0w him your pr0 skillz by using Lock-On and Shadow Ball!"

As the shadowy blob flew towards him, Gallade dodged instantly. However, the Shadow Ball followed him, Porygon-Z directing it with its 'pr0 skillz.'

"Before it reaches you, Gallade, attack Porygon-Z with Close Combat to stop its Lock-On!" Raffaele commanded.

Gallade focused its sights on Porygon-Z, who was still directing the attack. It reared up for a powerful attack, but G.G. shouted, "Use Charge Beam right in its n00b face!"

Porygon-Z let the Shadow Ball drop, and shot a Charge Beam directly at the Gallade that was in front of it.

"Y3s! PWN3D!!!11one!one!!!1"

"Hmph... only the beginning!"

"HEck YeAH! Now I really start PWNing!"
