As Reledre led us towards Viridian, which we were getting close to, I wondered exactly was important about this Spencer guy. "Reledre, how'd your grandpa meet White Fury?"

He turned to us, starting to walk backwards. "Well, White Fury was looking lost, and my grandpa called him out. He showed White Fury his house, then gave him direction."

"He saw White Fury was looking lost?"

"Well, he recognized something on White Fury and knew it was him in human form."

Hm. "So you know White Fury's mortal?"

He nodded and turned back front. "Yeah, which makes him so much more awesome. He could've died whenever he got into trouble, and the fact that he didn't makes him that much more incredible. He…he's my hero."

I chuckled, and Reledre asked, "Something funny?"

"Tell you later."

He shrugged, and soon we were in Viridian City, which looked at vibrant and packed as Dad described it. Reledre stopped walking, and we did as well. "Grandpa's house is over this way." He started walking left, and we followed him towards a normal-looking house.

He walked in and called out, "Grandpa, I'm home! And I have visitors!"

Gracie and I gave a low whistle. The guy's house was packed with books. All along the walls, pretty much any place that wasn't windows or doors had books. I looked at Reledre. "Dude…this is incredible."

He shrugged. "You get used to it. I've read…almost every book in here."

Gracie laughed, and Reledre looked at her, a little hurt. Gracie stopped laughing and asked, "Oh, c'mon, no one could read all these in one lifetime!"

Reledre gave her a look. "I'm special. Able to take in large amounts of information at once and synthesize it well. I know everything in this library."

"Which is almost everything in this world."

The three of us turned to see an old man with a cane walk in. His white hair was thinning a bit, and he only had a minor hunch. Like Reledre, he was dressed in brown pants and a button-down shirt. His eyes sparkled when he saw Gracie and I, and he said, "Visitors. It's been so long…"

I smiled. "Hello, sir. Your grandson brought me and my sister here to…well, meet you. Apparently, you met White Fury."

He nodded. "Yup. I can still remember the first thing I said to him…'The Fighting Ring ain't that old, sonny.'"

Gracie chuckled. "Sounds like he wasn't sure what to do."

Spencer shook his head. "Nope, he was completely unsure what to do. Didn't know right from left. I had to show him straight." He looked me over. "He didn't say he had children…"

Reledre turned to us. "You're White Fury's kids?!"

I looked at Spencer. "What makes you say that?"

He pointed at the band on my wrist. "I've seen that Normal Band before."

Reledre squealed and fell on the floor. Gracie and I looked down at him, and Spencer said, "Yeah, he does that from time to time."

I chuckled. "Sounds like a fun guy."

"He is. But you're not here for that."

I turned back to Spencer. "Then why are we here?"

He shrugged. "Hell if I know."

"Spencer, who's there?"

Another older man came out of the room that Spencer had come out of. This man was short, kinda buff, and his white hair went down to his shoulders. He looked at us. "Well…I can't believe you're here."

He came over to Gracie and I and hugged us. "Uh…do we know you?"

He let us go and looked us over. "You've gotten big…been so long since I've seen you."

Gracie interrupted. "Who are you, old man?!"

He laughed. "If you don't know me, then you have no idea."

I sighed. "What's your name?"

He turned to me, his blue eyes taking me in. "Hudoro."

I blinked, and my knees buckled. I started to go down, but he caught me and stood me up. "Hudoro! The immortal creator of the Rings!"

Spencer blinked. "He's my bridge partner."

Hudoro chuckled. "Graham. Gracie. So good to see you."

Gracie took a breath. "Mom mentions you…why haven't we seen you in so long?"

He shrugged. "It could be that she didn't want me to hurt more."

"Because of your immortality?"

He nodded, and I asked, "What's our next move, Hudoro?"

He looked at me oddly, and I explained, "We're on a journey. Evil's come back somehow, and Arceus chose me to be the new champion."

He smiled and pulled out a communicator. "All stations, come in. Change status to active. Back in business." He put his hand over the communicator. "Team name?"

"The Legacy."

He removed his hand. "The Revivers have been replaced by the Legacy. All units, be prepared for anything. For now, keep lookout on all regions."

He put the communicator away, and I said, "Dad said we were on our own. No resources, no old friends, nothing."

"Having the stations active and having the stations help are two different things."

I nodded, and he said, "Gracie, stay here. Graham, go around town. You could use some food."

My stomach rumbled, and I chuckled. "How's the market food?"

"Good. Go check it out."

I nodded and walked out the door, hearing Gracie say to Hudoro, "You need something?"


As I walked down the main road, looking at the city, I heard something that shouldn't go with a crowded city.

Gunfire.

I ran towards the sound, and I saw that the market was under siege by police. I went up to one of them and asked, "What's going on?"

The officer turned to me. "Well…it's kinda complicated."

I sighed. "It can't be that complicated."

He shrugged. "Three suspects, cashier might be alive or dead…we're not sure what to do."

I looked at the market. "This sounds familiar…"

"It is, my dad handled a case like this once. Named James."

I turned to the cop. "You're James' son?"

He nodded. "Lucas."

I nodded. "Well…good luck." I turned and walked away as gunfire continued to erupt.

I ducked into a nearby alley and swung my band in front of me like I had seen Dad do. A flawless white circle appeared, I hit it, and within a few minutes, I had transformed into my own superpowered alter-ego. I turned to head to the market, but a man with blond hair and white eyes was standing there. "Hello, Graham."

I nodded. "Arceus."

"You learn quickly. Unlike your father at this point, you have more skills currently, but you must be more careful. Start off small, and when you get the hang of it, expand your skills."

I nodded. "Thank you, Arceus."

He nodded and disappeared, and I ran towards the market, stopping next to Officer Lucas.

He turned to me. "No civi-holy crap, you're White Fury!"

I nodded. "But not the old one. I'm a new White Fury."

He looked at me oddly. "You're not Redoni?"

I shook my head. "No. I am influenced by him and have all his powers, but he and I are two different superhumans."

He nodded. "Well, it's good to see a new hero emerge. Get the cashier out, and we can take the criminals."

I nodded and started to spew dark purple smoke from my hands, eventually covering me completely and making me disappear. I kept low to the ground and snuck towards the market entrance.

I walked in and took in the situation. Two men were shooting at the police, and a woman was standing at the counter, tapping a finger on it as if waiting for something. "You sure White Fury's real?"

Oh, this could be good. One of the shooters said, "Yeah, White Fury exists. Why the interest?"

"You know why. Boss wants his head on a platter to show mega-boss."

The other shooter sighed. "We might be here a while…White Fury was said to retire."

I stood and made myself visible. "My predecessor did. I learned from him, and I'm here to be the new White Fury."

The three of them turned towards me, and the woman smiled coldly. "So you're the new White Fury. You wouldn't mind getting shot, would you?"

"Do I really have to answer that?"

She shook her head and pulled out a sword. "We're here to find you and kill you."

I charged at her and knocked her blade out of her hand with a Leaf Blade. "How's that working out for you?"

She gulped, and I heard someone clear their throat. I turned to the counter and saw the cashier poke their head up. "Get out, quickly."

He ran out, and I turned to the woman. "Nevermore's gone, as is Devon. The Free Ring is with the Revivers and the Legacy…so who are you?"

The woman looked me over. "Why should I tell you?"

I shrugged. "Because you're gonna go to jail anyways."

She thought a moment. "Good point…fine. You want our name?"

I nodded, and she said, "We are Team Noir. We are here to spread darkness across the region and douse all lights. If you wanna know anything else, too bad."

I shrugged and walked past the police storming in. Officer Lucas nodded and said, "Thanks, White."

I nodded. "Keep up the good work." I walked away and ducked into a nearby alley, transforming back to normal, and headed back to Spencer's place, eager to tell the others what happened.
