Author's Note: I know this might not sound important at all, I found this awesome saying a few days ago. I Thought I'd put it on here because I thought it would go well with this chapter. Anyway… "Friendship is a power that grows stronger with each passing day. Soon, it evolves into an unstoppable force that nobody can break through." Anyway, on with the Battle!

The Battle quickly started. Angios tried to get an advantageous attack on Crypto, But dodged just in time.

"Whew, normally I'd be all taunting, but I can't afford to be cocky now!" Crypto thought.

"Just you wait! I'll get ya', you'll see!" Angios said.

Now over to Team Speed and Gymnos…

"We have to finish this quickly so we can help Crypto…!" Fungus thought.

"Here I come, big guy!" Armaru said, charging at Gymnos.

"…Bring it on." Gymnos said, easily blocking Armaru's Attack.

"Bet you weren't expecting this!" Fungus hit Gymnos on the back with his best attack, while he was busy with Armaru.

"…Good move."

Back with Team Power and Angios…

"Agh… I'm completely outclassed in this battle!" Crypto said.

"Too bad you don't know any defensive moves." Kochia said.

"I was thinking about it, actually. I thought I was pretty capable of having high defense. Although no one can beat Armaru when it comes to defense, though. But Speed? I'll pass. I have two good buddies of mine that can do that for me." Crypto explained.

"We gonna' stop the chit chat soon?" Angios grew impatient.

"Yeah, Yeah. I was just thinking, that's all…" Crypto said rather calmly.

"The continuation!" Kochia made a swift attack on Angios.

"That was nothing! Try this!" Angios Attacked Crypto and hit this time.

"Ah… That was a bad one…" Crypto said sounding hurt.

"…" Gymnos was thinking, silently.

"What are you planning?" Fungus said.

"…Hmph." Gymnos quickly dashed over to Crypto and Attacked while he was down.

"Hey! That's their fight! We have ours right here!" Fungus said.

"…There's no rules, is there?" Gymnos said.

"Whatever you say!" Armaru attacked Angios.

"Things are getting a little crazy… I think I'll observe the battle for a bit." Kochia used Evasion and stayed alert toward any attack Gymnos was about to make.

"Whew, I don't think I'm making it out of this one…" Crypto said, but attacked Gymnos anyway… Kind of. Due to his low strength, his attack was very slow and easily dodge able.

"Why don't we finish what we started, huh?" Angios attacked Crypto again.

"He's really trying to get Crypto to lose the fight…" Fungus thought.

"…He's not going down."

"Try a little more force!"

Gymnos attacked Crypto again. They both, for some reason, really want Crypto out of this fight.

"No, No. You do it like this!" Angios attacked again… But Crypto stopped Angios' Hand with his own.

"…No… No! I'm not going to be tossed aside again! I know I have what it takes to beat you! I WILL win this fight! No one's gonna' tell me otherwise!" Crypto said, suddenly getting a boost of confidence.

"Come on! Get 'em!" Armaru was Cheering him on.

"This attack's gonna be- huh?" Crypto's whole entire body flashed a bright white. It was the same flash from when Armaru was evolving during the fight with Tabasco. It was… Evolution.

"Oh, Crypto's evolving!" Fungus watched in excitement.

"…Let's do this… Cryptoride style!" Cryptoride pointed his fist at the two.

"That should make him unstoppable, now!" Kochia said.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, kid!" Angios attacked the new and improved Cryptoride.

"Ah, I may be stronger, but I'm still as close to losing as ever…" Cryptoride, even with his newfound power, will be useless if he doesn't get to attack.

"Don't let him attack!" Angios said as Gymnos attacked Cryptoride.

"Cryptoride!" Fungus said, worried.

"It's okay, I got this!" Cryptoride said.

"Gah! You stubborn… Why won't you go down?" Angios said, attacking angrily. The attack looked like a finishing one…

"But I… Evolved… And everything…" Cryptoride said, on the floor.

"Cryptoride! You have to rest and let us take care of things!" Fungus said.

"But…"

"You're in no condition to fight! There's no need to play the Hero. We all know you have amazing power, we know you couldn't show it because They're too strong. You just can't do it now."

"Fungus…"

"Okay? Just sit back and rest, we'll finish this!" Fungus ran with Armaru and Kochia.

"I guess he's right… I was just getting ahead of myself, thinking I couldn't lose because I evolved. I wasn't alone. I had my friends to fight beside me. I just kept fighting to impress everybody… And I shouldn't just jump into a fight I probably can't win with just confidence. You need more than that…" Crypto thought while watching the fight.

"Finally, we got him out of the way…" Angios said, sounding like they already won.

"Why were you aimed for him? Cryptoride's probably the least threat in this fight!" Fungus said.

"If you got a Type Advantage, you can't help but down 'em quickly. Because you can!" Angios said.

"But Gymnos joined in too?"

"That's just our way of battling." Angios said, sounding very unsure about what he just said.

"That didn't sound like a very definitive answer…" Kochia said.

"Why don't we just continue the fight, okay?" Angios said, wanting to get back to the point.

"Whatever, your call." Armaru attacked Angios right after he finished talking.

"Things aren't going our way, are they?" Angios said.

"Oh, I'm useless here… They both have very high defenses, and I have a type disadvantage against Gymnos…" Kochia was thinking.

"No time for stalling! Come on, Gymnos!"

"…Let's go." They both Attacked Fungus.

"I Hope we can defeat them fast enough before we go down…" Fungus thought.

"I wont lose to Denjuu like you! Come on, try me!" Armaru said, attacking Angios. Fungus attacked Gymnos shortly after.

"We won't let him down… We'll break through every last one of you!" Angios and Gymnos attacked Fungus again.

"Ah, they have the Gang-up type of battling. Why they're targeting who they are, I don't know." Kochia said.

"We don't have any intention of losing!" Fungus said, as he and Armaru charge at Gymnos and Angios, respectively.

"If they're the Gang-up type, that means… Fungus!" Cryptoride noticed as he jumped back into the Battle and tried to hold off their attacks. Literaly. He was using his very hands to block Angios and Gymnos' attacks.

"Cryptoride, you-" Fungus couldn't finish his sentence.

"It doesn't matter! I'm already done for, but you have to do this! For all of us! …Agh… Hurry, I can't hold them!"

"Cryptoride… He's, defending me. He risked his very safety, for me. He doesn't care what happens to himself, he wants us to win this fight… For himself, and for Iris…" Fungus was lost in is thoughts.

"Outta' the way! Come on, move it!" Angios said, pushing harder.

"No way! I'm not going anywhere until I see you… Defeated…" Cryptoride passed out, due to pushing his body far past it's limit.

"Cryptoride… I'll… I'll do this! I won't disappoint you! Angios… Gymnos… I'll see you defeated, right here! By me!" Fungus charged at both of them, but right before the impact… Fungus flashed the light of Evolution. He grew a bit bigger, there were blades attached to his hands, and now he stood up on two feet instead of four. "How come all of you keep evolving? That's not fair! But that's no reason to surrender! You're still weak from all of our attacks from earlier!" Angios said.

"…That's right." Gymnos said.

"Fungus, don't forget we're here too!" Armaru said walking up to him.

"It's Fungblade now, Armaru! But yes! I wouldn't forget about you! Let's go!" Fungblade, Armaru, Angios and Gymnos all charged at each other, all at once! What will the outcome be? The winner gets Iris' Antenna Tree!
