A/N: Sorry that this took so long.I got distracted by stuff.


"Rakutsu, it seems that of the two of us, it is you who is the better combatant. Here, take the Basic Badge." Cheren said to Rakutsu.

Cheren handed the International Police Superintendent a badge, which he readily accepted. He then turned to Faitsu, who was sitting down and said, "It's your turn to battle me, Faitsu."

She got up and said, "Alright. I've been training while the two of you battled each other so I think this might be a bit easier for me."

Five minutes later. . .

"No way! You had actually taken my team down faster that Rakutsu, even though that Ariados was stronger than what you had sent against me!" Cheren said, having been defeated by Faitsu.

"Actually, I didn't send out all of my Pokemon. There's one who is a bit too uncontrollable right now." Faitsu said.

"I could guess that it is a fully evolved Starter Pokemon."

"Yes. Specifically it is an Emboar that I received from Skeith."

Rakutsu was silent for about a few moments before he said, "Okay, that would explain why you did not use your full team against Cheren. On another note, we need to reach Virbank City. No doubt we will need to battle the Gym leader there before heading to the main part of the Unova Region."

"Correct, Rakutsu. The leader of Virbank is a poison-type specialist by the name of Roxie. I would recommend catching a steel-type Pokemon in the nearby Virbank Complex before challenging her Gym." Cheren said to Rakutsu and Faitsu as they left the Floccesy Ranch, but not before he gave Faitsu the Basic Badge as well.

It hardly took five minutes before they arrived at Virbank City. Once they had arrived, Skeith was already slashing up buildings and burning them. The Ethereal notices them and says, "I do not have time to screw around with you fools right now. Aku has called me to the Mistralton Cave and I cannot ignore his command."

Skeith then transformed into a bird-like form before flying off.

"It seems that Skeith didn't completely trash the city. Find Roxie and stay with her while I try to figure out what Skeith came here for." Rakutsu said to Faitsu.

Faitsu heard him and casually walked to the Virbank Complex. It was not large, but it was not a small facility either as up to thirty people worked there according to Rakutsu's information. Right now, all of the workers were terrified and in a crouched position, out of fear that Skeith would return and kill them. It took some time, but she was able to get the workers back into a calm state of mind and found out from them that Roxie holed herself up in the Virbank Gym when Skeith had arrived. As Faitsu left, a Magnemite attacked her and she called out her Spinarak to fight it off. It was defeated quickly and when the battle was over, Rakutsu was standing right in front of her.

"Any idea where Roxie is?"

"Virbank Gym. They told me that she hid there when Skeith came and according to them, she is too terrified to accept challengers right now."

Suddenly a sigil appeared underneath their feet and it glowed a mix of orange and blue. Rakutsu recognized it immediately: it was the Sigil of the Tao Dragons. The sigil was similar to the symbol of Yin and Yang, but Fire represented Yang and Electricity represented Yin. That wasn't the only difference though. Where a spot of black would appear in the Yang half was a smaller symbol that depicted a bolt of lightning. Likewise, where a spot of white would appear in the Yin half was a small symbol that depicted a ball of fire. Yin was blue while Yang was orange, as normally Yang was white while Yin was black. The outer rim of the sigil was different from the inner, which contained the Yin-Yang of the Tao Dragon Sigil. The outer rim had lines of orange and blue running through and they depicted six equal icicle shards pointing away from the fire and lightning that was the Yang and the Yin. It glowed intensely while a bright light shined from the center of the sigil and engulfed Rakutsu and Faitsu completely. When the light died down, they had disappeared.
