Thanks to blacksterops1025 for his review! Keep 'em coming!

"Everyone out of the way!" Shouted an Audino as he pushed through the crowd of worried Pokemon.

I was worried, Jake, and the two other winners were on the floor twitching and moaning from something.

I saw Luxray, Lucario, and Sawk bolt into the room.

"What's happened?" Sawk demanded. "What happened to the competitors?"

"They have been poisoned by Arbok Venom." Audino said while examining their vitals.

"Are they going to be alright?" I shouted.

"Yes, they have only been given a small dosage." Said Audino. "Though they will recover in two days."

"We will have to postpone the tournament!" Said Sawk, disappointed.

"Uh, no," Heatran spoke up. "YOU continue the tournament. Three's enough for the finals, right? RIGHT?"

Sawk looked uneasy. "Um... Yes, I suppose..."

"Good." He said. "I'm not gonna wait for a couple of wimps to recover from their own mistakes."

"HEY!" I bellowed.

Heatran turned.

"Don't call any of these Pokemon wimps! Or I swear on my life, I'LL be the one to overthrow you as champion!" I threatened.

"You?" He said. "You're a pipsqueak!"

He walked off, letting out a booming laugh as he left the tent.

"Who could have done this?" Luxray bellowed. "I want a recollection of everything that happened in this tent before they got poisoned. NOW!"

"Well, Miltank came in with some milk for the competitors and some cakes for the winners..." Said a Woobat.

Luxray glared at Miltank.

"N-No! It wasn't me! I swear!" She said.

"You were the last person to handle the food." Luxray said.

Lucario had his eyes closed, he seemed to be checking something.

"No, it wasn't her." He said.

Luxray looked at him. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, positive." Lucario replied. "I know Miltank didn't do it, and I can't pinpoint who did it exactly, with the large number of Pokemon in this room, but it is 100% certain she didn't poison the cakes."

"Which means somebody tampered with them before they were ready." I finished.

"I left for a few minutes to tend to some complaining customers while I was making the cakes..." Miltank breathed.

Everyone looked around.

"Any border breaches from Team Darkness?" Asked Luxray.

"No." Said Lucario. "The perpetrator was in this town to start with. And if I'm not mistaken, the culprit is a competitor in this tournament."

I was worried about Jake, but relived that he wasn't going to die. I was still in the game, and I was going to win it for my team. No matter what it takes.

I was called for the fourth group along with a Dodrio, an Excadrill, a Chubchoo, and a Pacharisu.

We were lead into the arena, and told to split up. I was lead to a small chamber with two doors, one leading back into the undergroud, one into the center ring of the arena.

I waited for several minutes, but it took forever. Finally, I heard Sawk saying "Let the next round begin!"

The doors were opened, I ran out and greeted my opponents. Sawk blew the whistle, and we were off. Excadrill immediately dug into the ground, I used my Aura to sense him, but he went straight for the Dodrio, he jumped out of the ground and used Metal Claw as a combo to send the Dodrio flying into the ground. It got back up, and, to everyone's amusement, the heads began to argue with one another.

"How could you have not seen that coming? He was giving us a smirk before he dove into the ground!"

"Shut up, I was a bit preoccupied with Pacharisu, and unless you haven't noticed, we have a disadvantage to him!"

"Will you two stop arguing? We're kind of in the middle of some-"

The Excadrill knocked them over by hitting them with his claw. He threw his arms in the air and basked in the glory of the crowd.

"I thought they'd never shut up!" He shouted.

I heard a sneeze behind me and next thing I knew I felt very cold. I found I was frozen solid from the legs down. The Chubchoo looked at me.

"I dibn't think dat would bork." He said. "Tibe to say gudnight! Snort!"

I did some quick-thinking and jumped to Battle Stage Two, and broke free from the ice. I flipped into the air just in time to dodge the headbutt he sent towards me. His head hit the ground with a small "Ow." and I landed right next to him, Blue aura surrounding my body. I pulled my hands together and formed an Aura Sphere and fired it straight at Chubchoo as he was getting up. I saw his eyes widen right before he was hit and sent flying into the wall.

Little snot. I thought.

I ran to the Pacharisu, who was waiting for an opponent, Excadrill was also closing in on him. He let out a discharge attack and it hit both Excadrill and I.

Feeling jolted, I shook my head and continued to make my way towards the Pacharisu. Next thing I knew, he was gone, then I felt someone tap my shoulder. Pacharisu was right behind me. He shocked me again. I willed my Aura to manifest into a physical form, and next thing I knew, my Aura blade was in my hand, ready for action.

"And the Riolu pulls another trick out of his sleeve to barely miss elimination! Is this your student, Lucario?"

"Yes, yes he is." Lucario said.

The Pacharisu looked at the blade and turned to the referee, Throh.

"Is this even legal?"

Throh shrugged. "With a Legendary in the ranks? This is child's play compared to what he does. Keep fighting!"

Pacharisu turned and I slashed. He backed off in surprise.

"I feel weaker..." He said.

One more slash and the Pacharisu was down for the count, no more energy to continue.

Excadrill and I were the only ones left. He was basking in the cheering from the crowd, I was watching him intently, anticipating an attack. He sank into the ground and disappeared. Then, I got a brilliant idea.

I dove into the hole after him.

It was big enough for me to stand in, and I saw him rapidly digging, looking for me. I charged up and Aura Sphere and fired it at him, it hit him in his back and it exploded, sending him flying out of the hole and into the arena. I emerged from the hole and saw him lying unconscious.

"And the Riolu takes the win!" I heard Sawk's voice boom into the arena.

I looked at Lucario and locked eyes with him. He nodded, as if to say; Good job, but it's not over yet.

Heatran's battle was no contest, he mopped the floor with the other four opponents it wasn't even fair. He seemed to have a tough time dealing with Regan, who was also in his group, but she was the last to go down. Sawk held a vote to bring back one of the losing contestants for a three way battle, and Regan won by a landslide, so she was also in the final round.

"Thank you all for coming!" Said Sawk. "Join us tomorrow where Riolu, Chimchar, and Heatran face off for the most exiting finale yet!"

Short chapter, but the last one for the Tournament Arc will be released tomorrow. The winner will be revealed, as well as the one who caused the poisonings in the first place! See you guys then!
