A/N So, this is kinda awkward. Its been about a month, and I haven't posted anything to this story because I've been focusing on my other story. Well, either way it's ok now because there's a new chapter. It's ok, right? Anyways, enjoy!

"Can you believe it's been two years, Dino?"

I shook my head, smiling. "I'll admit, Todd, it doesn't feel that long ago," I replied, yelling over the sound of helicopter blades. It was the third time we'd had this conversation, but I didn't mind. It passed the time.

"It's still hard to believe we made it through the prelims for the Cup."

The Caliosteo Cup, or the Cup for short was a Fossil Battling tournament being held in Caliosteo Park. Many powerful and famous Fighters were taking part, along with many average fighters, such as Todd and I.

I held Aeros's Medal in my hand and stared at it. I hadn't battled with him since the fight with Allo. There was no one to battle at home, and the prelims required us to use rental Vivosaurs, but I always had Aeros with me in my pocket, sort of as a good luck charm.

I smiled, reliving the day as I had many, many times before. I remembered the wind on Joe's Ptera, Allo's roar, and most of all the feeling of battle.

The co-pilot came back to were we sat. "We are nearing Ribular Island," he told us, "the first stop during the Cup. You guys ready?"

We both nodded, bubbling with excitement. Finally! We were almost there.

"Let me tell you a bit about the island," the co-pilot said as he sat across from us and opened his laptop. I noticed pickaxe logo on the back before he turned it to show us a picture of an island.

"This is Ribular Island," he started, "This island is densely forested in many areas. These areas are perfect for digging up fossils."

I hardly listened to the rest of his introduction. Heck, I already knew everything about Ribular and the other islands from news reports and park website. I was busy thinking about the fossils I was going to dig up. How many would there be? What Vivosaurs would they make? These were the questions I wanted answered!

The closing of the laptop snapped me out of my trance. "And that, boys, is all I can tell you about Ribular, and, wouldn't you know it, we're right above town," He stood up and walked back towards the cockpit. "Good luck in the Cup!" He said, turning his head to smile at us.

"We don't need luck!" Todd exclaimed, "We're gonna beat this easy! Right, Dino?"

I nodded. "Right! But... a little luck never hurt."

Todd laughed as we landed. I looked out the window to see ripples of air expand from our helicopter as we neared the ground.

"You ready?" I asked my green-clad friend and the helicopter blades slowed.

He adjusted his ever-present safari hat. "You bet!"

"Then let's go!" I replied.

We stepped out of the copter together, our feet hitting the ground at the same time. This was it. The beginning of our adventure.

A/N Sorry this is so short. I planned on going longer, but I liked how it ended and I wanted to keep that. Not much progress, but i gave an explanation of why Aeros is still rank 1 and how you can beat the prelims with 1 Vivasaur. Anyways I'll tell you, I am working on the next chapter right after I post this, so don't be to disappointed.

Anyways, if you found something you liked (or something you disliked. Constructive criticism is always welcome) please review. It makes my day!

Now for summary time. Dino and Todd are in the park, but will their adventure be as pleasurable as it sounds, or will it end before it's begun? Find out next time!
