Chapter 3: Super Luck.
Mystery laid in the corner of the rented room in the Pokémon Center. As the other Pokémon played around and Vivian was sitting on the bed, Mystery took to time to relax and observe around the room.
The closed room's walls were painted a soft cream colour with brown carpet on the floor and a table up against the wall opposite the door with a large window where Mystery could see the star filled night sky. There were two other doors in the room that led to a small kitchen and bathroom and across the room from the Disaster Pokémon was the large fluffy bed that Vivian sat on with a book in her lap.
The room may seem a little small for humans but it was larger than any cave Mystery had been in, normally he would have to sleep on the cold, stone floor of his cave on top of Mt Coronet but the brown rug in the room felt soft, and the bed looked so comfortable that Mystery wanted to jump on top it, but he didn't want to be close to Vivian, or Jasper or anyone.
Mystery felt bored just sitting in the corner of the room, he didn't want to interact with the other Pokémon either so he was a loss on what to do. He then got the idea to groom his fur, he normally did it once a day and was a nice distraction and hobby.
As he was straightening out the fur on his right leg he saw Vivian from across the room pull something out of her bag that looked like an Eevee but as a hairbrush. She called Jasper over to her and then pressed the brush to his mane and started brushing it smoothly, Jasper purring happily in response.
Mystery watched as she smoothly traced the soft brush across the Luxray's body leaving its fur looking shiny and new. "There, doesn't that feel better Jasper?" She asked her partner who purred loudly in response as he lay on the bed. Mystery stared in awe and felt jealous of Jasper for the treatment he was getting, the brush looked so neat and it made Jasper's fur look shiny, better then Mystery could ever do. For a second he wanted to walk up to Vivian and beg her to brush his fur as well but quickly changed his mind. After cleaning out his own fur to the best of his ability, Mystery rand his paw up the blade on the side of his head. "Losing its sharpness… There's nothing here that I can use… if Vivian lets me out in the morning I could find a rock to sharpen it." He told himself.
"And saved." Vivian said as she finished writing in the book she had on her lap which she then snapped shut. "Alright gang it's time to go to sleep now." She told all of them, she took out the two Pokeballs belonging to Aryll and Atlanticand aimed them at the two who willingly went inside them to sleep. Vivian then held up the pure white ball with the red line around it up to Mystery. He let out a large growl and bared his fangs at her, he made it clear he would prefer sleeping in the corner. Truth be told he would really like to sleep on the soft looking bed but didn't trust Vivian or Jasper enough who was allowed to stay out of his Pokeball.
As Vivian turned off the lamp that brightened the room and shuffled underneath the bed covers in her pyjamas, Jasper laid next to her sprawled out while Mystery curled up in the corner. Slowly drifting off to sleep.
The next morning. Mystery was being pawed awake by a large blue and black shape. As he rubbed his eyes with his paw he saw Jasper standing infront of him. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?" He snarled jumping up into a fighting position.
"Whoa hey! I wasn't doing anything!" Jasper proclaimed as he raised one of his paws up. "Vivian asked me to wake you up while she takes a shower."
"Touch me again and I'll freeze you over!" Mystery threatened.
"I'd like to see you try." Jasper snapped back, his fur crackling with bolts of electricity.
In return Mystery charged and aimed a sphere of ice and snow at the Gleam Eyes Pokémon, ready to fire Ice Beam in a split second.
The two Pokemon glared at each other for a few minutes before Jasper grinned and then his eyes flashed a bright light, similar to a bright camera flash, that briefly blinded Mystery and prevented his Ice Beam.
"Hah! I win." Jasper proclaimed smugly as he turned his back on the Absol.
Once Mystery regained his eyesight he growled angrily at the Luxray and then lunged at him, tackling him to the ground and digging his claws into Jasper's side. Mystery pinned Jasper to the ground and attempted to claw at his eyes but Jasper was resilient and was fighting him off. The two were struggling against each other snapping and growling at each other until Vivian heard what was going on and stepped out of the bathroom to see Mystery on top of Jasper looking like he was about to claw his eyes out!
Quickly she pulled out Mystery's Premier Ball and aimed it at him. Before he could react he was sucked inside the sphere. Once he realised what happened he angrily slammed the wall of the small space with his paw.
"Jasper! What in the name of Arceus was that all about?" Vivian asked tensely the Luxray sat up straight again and scratched his mane with his paw.
"I don't know Vivian. He just attacked me for no reason when I woke him up." He responded innocently.
Mystery from inside his Pokeball growled at the Luxray, steaming with anger. He couldn't believe the nerve of that Luxray, taunting him and then blinding him and then when Vivian comes around he acts all innocent. At this point Mystery would rather be in the cursed Pokeball than face Vivian or Jasper.
After that whole ordeal, Vivian soon left the room with Jasper while keeping Mystery and the rest of her team in their Pokeballs. Although he couldn't see outside his Pokeball directly, Mystery could sense what was still happening outside almost like he was looking out into the real world. He heard Vivian say goodbye to Nurse Joy before leaving the PokeCenter.
"Alright Jasper, we'll be going to Hearthome City next, we could maybe see a Pokemon Contest or challenge the Ghost Type Gym, would you be up for it?" Vivian asked her companion who trotted alongside her. Luxray nodded in response. "Maybe some training wouldn't hurt either, maybe I should try battling with Mystery…"
Soon after leaving Eterna City Vivian and Jasper found themselves walking through a forest on their way to Hearthome City. Soon Vivian stopped and took out the Pokeball that held her Absol. She stared at it for a second before pressing the button on it which released the Disaster Pokémon from his prison.
Mystery found himself standing on grass when he was released from the Pokeball. He looked around in all directions and sniffed the air curiously, before turning to Vivian with an infuriated scowl.
"Now Mystery." She said kneeling in front of him so she was looking in at the same height. "I know your still new to our team and you still have wild Pokémon instincts but you aren't supposed to attack your teammates."
"Grrrr…." Mystery growled at her.
"Do I make myself clear? Because if you attack Jasper or anyone else and seriously injure them, you will face the consequences ok?" She warned him, her tone was jarringly serious that it surprised Mystery a bit.
"Ugh, fine whatever…" He responded. He then saw Vivian raise her hand in the air. Mystery suddenly tensed up and quickly swiped his head away from her, seeming to be cowering in fear.
Vivian was caught off guard by Mystery's strange change in behaviour, she just raised her hand to pet him a bit to calm him but instead he had a face on him that looked like he was fearing for his life as his breathing became erratic and he started shaking.
"H-huh?" She said lowering her hand slowly which seemed to calm Mystery a small bit as he stared at her with scared, helpless looking eyes. "Mystery? I-I'm so sorry…" She apologised.
"I-it's fine…" He responded as he breathed deeply in and out.
"I'll let you walk alongside me if you promise to behave and not attack Jasper again alright?" She asked him and Mystery nodded.
Vivian then stood up again and started to walk again. Mystery looked over and saw Jasper staring at him with his eyes glowing a soft gold. Instead of glaring and threatening him like he usually would just looked at the ground in shame and followed behind Vivian with his tail hanging low.
They walked through the forest with Vivian leading the way her two Pokémon followed behind. None of them really talked that much. Mystery saw a few Caterpie on branches of trees and Starly fluttered overhead between branches. None of them seemed to be wanting a fight. As they were walking soon They saw a small boy between the trees who saw Vivian and ran up to her.
"Hey you!" He said to Vivian. "Wanna battle? I want to train my team before fighting Gardenia!"
"A battle? Sure I'll fight you." Vivian accepted.
"Awesome! Go Scyther!" The boy exclaimed as he tossed a Pokeball into the air which burst open with light which formed a large bug type Pokémon with large blades on both arms.
"Ready Jasper?" Vivian asked as her Luxray stepped in front of her ready to battle. "Ok, Jasper use Spark!" Vivian exclaimed.
Jasper's fur crackled with electricity as he rushed towards the Scyther in an electrical blitz.
"Scyther! Double Team!" The boy called out as his Scyther appeared to split into multiple copies, when Jasper rushed into one it faded away. "Scyther now use Fury Cutter!"
The other copies all vanished as the real Scyther speedily dashed up to Jasper and slashed him with its large blades. Jasper jumped back in pain before the Scyther could strike him a second time.
"Are you ok Jasper? Use Flash!" Vivian commanded. Jasper's eyes flashed brightly and blinded Scyther, stopping it in its tracks. "Now use Iron Tail!"
Jasper's tail then like glittering silver as he pounced and stuck the Scyther as it was blinded, sending it to the ground.
"That was great Jasper!" Vivian encouraged.
"Scyther, Razor Wind!" The boy called out. His Scyther then charged his attack and slashed the air, sending razor sharp wind at Jasper. The attack landed and Jasper had been thrown on his back. "Now use Fury Cutter!"
The Scyther then rushed at Jasper ready to slash him with its large blades. Jasper couldn't get up in time when Scyther quickly closed the gap between the two. Jasper closed his eyes as the Scyther was about to bring down the two blades on him when suddenly Scyther was shot with what looked to be blue lighting that was shot from behind Vivian, which knocked it back and frozen over one of its blades.
"Huh?" Vivian said before turning and seeing it was Mystery who shot the Ice Beam. "M-Mystery?" Her Absol didn't respond as it stepped in front of Jasper who was still laying on the ground and took a fighting stance. "But Mystery, your leg, Nurse Joy says you shouldn't battle for now."
Mystery turned back to her and glared at her, then he raised his right claw and then scratched all the bandages off his left leg effortlessly in only one try, revealing his leg with a small line going up it from the scar and his fur slowly growing back.
He turned back to the Scyther sprinted towards them, lowering his bladed horn as he charged.
"Scyther use Fury Cutter!" The boy commanded.
The Scyther readied its blades as Mystery charged towards him. The Scyther Swiped its blades down on him but Mystery jumped up in the air before Scyther struck him and he slashed down at the Bug Type. Landing a critical hit, in one strike Scyther was knocked out.
"W-wha?! How could you beat my super strong Scyther?" The boy whined as he returned the Mantis Pokémon into its Pokeball.
Vivian stood in amazement at Mystery's battle performance, in one strike Mystery downed the bug type with ease even though he had the type disadvantage.
"Oh well, you battled well!" The boy remarked before scuttling off to the PokeCenter.
Mystery walked back up to Vivian and Jasper who were both in awe. "That's how it's done." He remarked to the two of them.
"Wow Mystery that was amazing! You are tougher than I thought but are you sure your leg's ok, you ripped all the bandages off." Vivian asked him.
"I'm fine, I just hope my fur grows back soon." Mystery replied to her.
Soon after Vivian fought wild Pokémon in the forest with Mystery, which he defeated with almost no effort. Most of the time he only needed his Slash move and he could knock out any of the Pokémon he fought, landing critical hits pretty often. As he fought a Starly, it rushed at him with Quick Attack. Mystery's eyes flashed green as he narrowly dodged the Quick Attack with Detect, he then turned and shot the Starly with Ice Beam, freezing it over before it could attack again.
As Mystery knocked out another opponent Vivian saw he landed a Critical Hit once again which sparked her curiosity. "Oh yeah, I forgot Mystery's ability is Super Luck, an ability that allows the Pokémon to pinpoint weak points land Critical hits." Mystery then trotted back up to Vivian and stood looking away from her through the trees, avoiding eye contact. "Good job Mystery!" Vivian exclaimed contently. Mystery then looked up at her and she patted him on the head, making him growl slightly at her. "Oh, your still uncomfortable about touching. You should at least get a treat for battling so well." She told him before holding out a Sitrus Berry in the palm of her hand.
"I wish she would stop coddling me…" Mystery muttered under his breath. He hesitantly stared at the berry she held out to him. He still didn't trust Vivian but she was showing him some kindness so he quickly snatched it from her and snarfed it up. Sitrus Berries tasted very sour but they really packed a punch and helped regain energy better than an Oran Berry could, Mystery preferred Pecha Berries but Sitrus were good too.
Soon after advancing through the forest, battling past any hostile Pokémon they came across, Vivian and her companions arrived at another town, Mystery saw a sign that read 'Hearthome City'.
"We are here!" Vivian proclaimed as they entered the town. "We should get to the PokeCenter so you guys can rest. Maybe then we could go visit the Pokémon Showcase or maybe the Ghost Type Gym."
"A Ghost Type Gym? Well I guess I could fight worthier opponents there. I would obviously win though." Mystery spoke himself. "A powerful Dark type to strike down those twisted spirits."
"You can't take on a whole gym battle by yourself, we'll be there to battle too." Jasper then said as he listened to Mystery's statements.
"I was never talking to you!" Mystery barked at him.
"Tch, geez can't you lighten up already?" Jasper said frustrated.
Mystery ignored him and looked in the other direction. He then heard a young boy's voice say. "Mommy, look at that Pokémon." He turned his head to see a small child pointing straight him while holding an adult woman's hand.
He heard the woman say. "Come along now sweetie, that's Pokémon's is dangerous." Before dragging the small boy off down the street. Mystery growled irritated at the woman as she hastily walked off with her son.
"Are you alright Mystery?" Vivian asked him, hearing his angered growls. "Don't worry, no one will attack you here ok?" She reassured.
Mystery nodded hesitantly as they then continued to walk down the street, nearing the Pokecenter. Hearthome City had a rural feeling to it, all the buildings looked rural but were built very well. Very few buildings stood out like the Pokecenter and a building that looked like a chapel with a purple roof, Mystery could see a Drifblim floating around the roof.
As they were nearing the Pokecenter, Mystery saw a young girl leaving the Pokecenter with a Monferno in tow. The girl had short, flaming red hair, wore a bright red jumpsuit with white streaks on it and had a black fanny pack around her waist. When she spotted Vivian her face lit up.
"Vivi!" She shouted excitedly, calling Vivian by her nickname Mystery assumed it was another friend of his captor.
"Hey there Robin!" Vivian called back to her.
The girl named Robin practically sprinted up to Vivian. "I haven't seen you in forever girl! How have ya' been?" She asked loudly.
"I've been doing pretty good. I won my gym battle in Eterna City and was going to see Mt. Coronet but that didn't work out so well." Vivian told the girl. She looked behind Vivian to see Jasper but then her eyes landed on Mystery.
Oh my God! Is that an Absol?! Those things are strong! They have strong attack stats and are quite speedy too! That horn looks so sharp; it looks like it could cut through stone!" Robin exclaimed excitedly.
Cut through stone? Maybe I should try that. Mystery thought to himself. No, too risky. I could end up chipping it. I would then look foolish.
"Hey Vivi, wanna battle? Me and Ferno just aced Fantina's Ghost type and we're all fired up for another fight!" She said so loud it sounded like she was yelling at the top of her lungs.
"Well what do you think Mystery? Wanna have a battle?" Vivian asked turning towards him. Mystery looked from her to the Monferno behind Robin, who was cracking their knuckles ready to brawl, he looked at Vivian and then nodded.
"Awesome!" Robin yelled excitedly. "Race you too the battlefield!" She then took off down the road.
"Hey! Wait up Robin!" Vivian replied as she ran after her, Mystery and Jasper following behind. Soon they came across a battlefield that was built in the town which had white outlining around it.
Robin and Vivian took their places on each side of the sandy battlefield, Robin's Monferno stood on the battlefield, pumped up for battle. Jasper sat down next to Vivian as Mystery trotted onto the field, facing the Monferno who was punching the air getting pumped up.
"Battle, Start!" Robin called out bravely. "Ferno, Mach Punch!" In the blink of an eye, Robin's Monferno rushed forward and punched Mystery to the ground with a glowing fist.
"Graaah!" Mystery howled as he was struck across the face. Monferno jumped back before he could retaliate.
Mystery got back up on his feet and shook the sand out of his fur. "Are you ok Mystery? Stay calm, now use," But before Vivian could call out her move Mystery charged forward, lowering his bladed horn ready for a Slash attack. "H-huh? Mystery, I didn't say attack yet!"
Mystery couldn't care less. He knew how to battle well; he didn't need to listen to a human. He charged forward and slashed the Monferno sending it to the ground.
"Ferno! Use Ember!" Robin commanded. The Monferno jumped back up on its feet and whipped its tail through the air, shooting out small flickers of fire.
"Mystery, counter it with Ice Beam!" Mystery heard Vivian say but decided not to obey.
Instead his eyes flashed green as he speedily dodged every single ember that was shot at him. He saw Monferno was nowhere to be seen until he was struck in the stomach by its Mach Punch.
"Ha! Awesome job Ferno!" Robin complemented her partner.
"Mystery, please just listen to me." Mystery heard Vivian plead behind him.
"Shut up I don't need you!" He snarled at her baring his teeth in anger, which seemed to actually startle her.
Mystery then started swinging his bladed horn and tail through the air almost as if he was dancing. This technique loosened up his joints and pumped him up for a fight. Swords Dance was a pretty useful move. He then lowered his horn and charged again.
Mystery won't follow my commands, there got to be a way to make him listen to me. Ferno's fast, I need to come up with a way to render it immobile. Vivian thought worryingly as her Pokémon fought by himself on the battlefield.
"Ferno, Sand Attack!" Robin called out. When Mystery drew closer, Monferno then kicked the sand up from the battlefield which hit him straight in the face.
"Hey, hey watch it!" Mystery yelled at the Monferno frustrated. "You got sand in my fur, this will be a pain to clean out." He complained which confused Ferno for a second.
"Ferno, Mach Punch!" Robin then yelled. Ferno then dashed forward at in the blink of an eye but before she could strike him with a glowing fist Mystery rolled to the side and avoided it which caught Ferno off guard.
"Too slow." Mystery taunted before he slashed Ferno multiple times in a combo which had hit her to the ground again.
"Ooohh, I'm really fired up now!" The Monferno said as the flame on its tail burned brighter.
"Ferno, Ember!" Robin commanded. Ferno shot small embers out of its tail again which seemed to be burning hotter than before. Mystery was hit and was stopped in his tracks. "Now use Flame Wheel!"
Ferno then started spinning in a fiery circle and then charged at Mystery like a spinning flame. The attack collided with his body and he was pushed far back and was struck down to the ground in front of Vivian and Jasper.
"Mystery!" She exclaimed in shock.
"Ha! Awesome Ferno!" Robin said with a smirk.
Mystery struggled to get back up on his feet. "Mystery, you're badly hurt." Vivian said as he shakily stood up. The fur around his face had sand stuck in his and a small part of it had been slightly singed from the Flame Wheel attack. "Please listen to me Mystery, just please listen to me." The Absol looked back at her with a fatigued expression it looked like he couldn't keep fighting for much longer. "Mystery I have an idea, aim Ice Beam at the ground!"
Mystery thought about her order for a second before charging his attack. He aimed Ice Beam at the ground and unleashed the attack, freezing over the entire battlefield. Ferno then slipped on the ice and couldn't stand up properly, she ended up hitting her jaw on the cold, hard ice.
"Now Mystery, run across the ice and strike Ferno with Slash!" Vivian commanded. Mystery then dug his claws into the ice and ran across without slipping, he was used to life in cold climates and was able to run along icy lakes with ease using his claws.
He ran across the ice as if he was gliding across it, he closed in on Ferno as she kept slipping and tumbling on the ice. He poured all his power into his blade as he ran, his horn then started glowing a dark purple as he slashed past Ferno. He then looked back and saw her on the ground knocked out.
"Awww! We lost!" Robin exclaimed frustrated as she took out a Pokeball and shot out a red beam at Ferno which retracted her inside the ball. "That Night Slash was really powerful! Powerful enough to knock out Ferno!"
Mystery trotted back up to Vivian who had been looking at him with an uncertain face the whole time. "Yeah, but Mystery didn't listen to my commands at all." Vivian said to Robin disappointed.
"Well I guess it's to be expected, you just caught him so I don't think he'll listen to any of your battle commands." Robin commented.
"Well he listened to the last one but everything else was him acting on his own." Vivian responded.
Robin then smacked the palm of her hand with her fist eagerly. "Then you just gotta keep trainin' him until he listens. If he was that talented in a battle, I'd be curious to how strong he'd be if you two worked together."
"If we work together? Give me a break…" Mystery muttered to himself. He scratched the scruff of fur around his neck trying to get the sand out of it but it stayed tangled in his snow white fur. "Grrr… Will take me all night to get it out." He grumbled.
"Welp, Me and Ferno are going to head on now, see you soon Vivi!" Robin said before she left the battlefield and ran off down the road.
"Mystery," Vivian said as she turned to him. "Next time please listen to what I tell you." She scolded.
"Oh yeah sure I will totally listen to your every command, my master." Mystery replied sarcastically.
Vivian sighed as they then left the battlefield, now the sky had turned from a light blue colour to a bold orange. As Mystery walked behind Vivian, Jasper took the opportunity to question Mystery. "Hey Mystery, why wouldn't you listen to Vivian?"
"I don't need to." Mystery snapped back. "Why do I need a human to tell me what to do in a battle? I'm an experienced fighter, I do not need to follow a lowly human's commands."
"Then why did you listen to her when she told you to freeze the ground?" Jasper then asked.
"I wasn't following her commands, I just heard what she said and took it as a suggestion, so I decided to try aiming Ice Beam at the ground, I even learned Night Slash during that battle." He replied smugly.
"Yeah sure you didn't listen to her for most of the fight." Jasper mumbled before turning back to the Disaster Pokémon. "Mystery?"
"What is it now?" He asked the Luxray. "In the forest, why did you flinch and suddenly act scared when Vivian lifted her hand?"
Mystery all of a sudden went quiet. It was then that Jasper realised he struck a nerve with the Disaster Pokémon. "I… I…. I thought she was going to hit me… That was all."
Jasper was surprised at Mystery's sudden change in mood. He was all of a sudden quieter than he usually was. "What? Why did you think she would do something as cruel as that?"
"It's nothing, just please Jasper. Stop asking." Mystery responded in a low tone and then darted up beside Vivian to avoid further questioning.
Jasper stared at Mystery as he walked beside Vivian with concern. The Luxray's eyes then glowed a bright yellow as he stared at the Absol. "Hmmm… Sadness, fear and regret… Strange…" He whispered to himself.
As they walked through the town, Vivian looked down at the Absol who marched beside her, she noticed that he was wobbling slightly as he walked. "Hey Mystery? Do you want to go back into your Pokeball for a bit?" The Absol turned his head to look at her with a confused expression on his face. "Maybe you'd want to rest after that battle, besides I was thinking of going to see the Pokemon Contest which will have large crowds."
Mystery then stopped in his tracks when she said that last part. "Large crowds? Of humans? I'll be staying in my Pokeball then." Mystery responded as he walked up to Vivian who held the Premier Ball in her hand, Mystery had no objections being sucked inside of the sphere this time.
"Sigh, finally some peace and quiet." Mystery said to himself relieved inside his small, safe space. "I am feeling exhausted after that fight with the Monferno." Mystery yawned as he then slumped on the floor of the Pokeball, which felt strangely soft. He quickly fell into slumber inside of his Pokeball exhausted from the battle against Ferno and Robin.
Outside of the ball, Vivian had clipped the white, premier ball that capsulated her Absol on her belt. "Sigh…" Jasper, sensing something was wrong nudged Vivian's hand with his nose. "Hmm? Oh it's nothing Jasper, it's just Mystery would barely listen to me during that battle. Why can't I get him to open up to me? He refuses to eat, he won't listen to my commands, he even attempted to attack you when I was in the shower." Vivian told her Luxray disheartened. Jasper grunted in response, Vivian assumed that meant he didn't know why either. "Well, hopefully he'll open up to me eventually.
Soon the two came across a building that was vastly different to the rest of Hearthome City. The building was bright, had many vibrant colours and many trainers stood outside. This was the building for the Pokémon Contest. Vivian entered the building to see multiple trainers with their Pokémon, some looked pumped up and confident and others looked nervous. Many trainers participated in Pokémon Contests which are vastly different from normal battles. Coordinators focus on drawing out their Pokémon's beauty and talents onstage in two parts, the performance phase and battle phase.
Vivian skimmed over the crowds observing all different types of trainers and their Pokémon, she many different Pokémon like Breloom, Kecleon, Roselia and even a Vespiquen.
Vivian then saw a woman near the edge of the crowds, she had purple hair that shone like in the moonlight and wore a matching dress that sparkled like the night sky full of stars. Vivian approached her and asked the woman. "Excuse me miss? Are you by chance Fantina?"
"Hm? Why yes I am, have you come to see my performance in the contest?" The woman replied in a french accent.
"Yes I have. My name is Vivian and I've come to see you for a gym battle!" Vivian told her eagerly.
"A gym battle, hm? I'd be happy to take you on anytime, After the contest tonight I shall wait for you in the Ghost type gym tommorrow, oui?" She then asked.
"Yes ma'am." Vivian replied kindly.
"Tre bien, enjoy the contest then Vivian, adieu!" Fantina replied as she disappeared into the crowd.
"Well, you ready to see the contest Jasper? It's gonna be awesome!" Vivian exclaimed excited. Jasper roared enthusiastically as they followed the crowd into the stadium to find good seats.
But the thought of battling Fantina crossed Vivian's mind, would Mystery listen to her during the Gym Battle? Or would he disobey and attack without listening?
To be continued. Thank you for reading!
