A young male named Arthur was all wrapped up comfortably in his bed late at night. He was trying to go to sleep, but he keeps hearing constant fighting going on between his mother and his father. Arthur started shaking nervously, hoping that his father wouldn't come into his room because he was afraid of the things that his father could possibly due to him.

"Your stupid bitch! When I get home, I expect the food to be on the table!" His father shouted. Next thing Arthur heard was a smacking sound, which meant that once again, like always, his father had laid his hands on his mother.

'I'm so sorry." His mother cried. "I was helping Arthur with his homework."

"I don't care!" His father shouted back. The noises were getting so loud that Arthur unwrapped himself from his covers and went to go see what was going on between his mother and father.

"Not again." Arthur sighed. He realized that his father must've been drunk, which only increased his anger issues. Arthur walked into the room and saw his father being on his mother.

His father was Wikstrom, a member of the Kalos Elite Four. His mother was a lady name, Gina. Wikstrom continues to punch his wife in the face. Arthur stood there in horror, not knowing what to do or how to help his mother who was in pain. Her face started to become surrounded in blood and bruises.

"Your dumb bitch." Wikstrom continued to beat her up. Her cries continued to get louder and louder. Arthur just stood there kept and watching, wanting to do something but couldn't because he didn't want to get hurt himself.

Arthur slowly back away, leaving his mother to continue to get abused. He regretted his decision, but in his mind, he knew that it was the right thing to do to save himself.

At the Pokemon Academy Camp, Riley and Zemrick where sitting on the steps of their cabin with there other camp members Tillith and Akale. Akale was currently on his smartphone, looking at his player search system newsfeed. While he was scrolling he witnessed something interesting.

"Apparently there's a strong pokemon in Camphrier Town," Akale reported.

"A strong pokemon?" Riley asked. Both him and Zemrick look at each other, their interest in hearing about a rare pokemon really peaked their curiosity.

"Yeah. Everyone on the player search system is talking about it." Akale continued, while he continued scrolling through his phone and seeing various posts about a strong pokemon being in Camphrier Town. "They say it's like super strong."

"Well if its super strong, then maybe we should go and catch it," Zemrick said.

"yeah, good idea," Riley replied. The two boys smiled with excitement while thinking about the strong pokemon, that they could possibly catch. "I've been wanting to do some battling anyway, so I can train Kavallerie."

"So, I guess that means that we should go to Camphrier Town," Zemrick said.

"Yeah," Riley replied. "Tillith, Akale, do you guys wanna come too?"

"I can't," Tillith responded while holding onto her Fomantis.

"Fomantis, Fomantis."

"You see I have a ton of homework to catch up on," Tillith explained which sadden Riley and Zemrick who wanted to have fun with there friends.

"That's okay," Riley said.

"What about you Akale?" Zemrick asked.

"I can't either," Akale explained. "You see I promised Issac that I'll give him some tips on how to get a girlfriend." Akale started to sweatdropped, realizing that doing so might be a lost cause. "And I regret telling him that sometimes."

Riley and Zemrick started laughing, finding the idea of that to be hilarious. But after a while, the friends looked at each other and realized that it was just going to be them. "So, I guess it's just us," Riley said.

"Good. We haven't spent any time alone together in a while. So, let's go." Zemrick replied.

Riley, Kavallerie, Zemrick, and Solsis have arrived in Camphrier Town with school being out today since it was a Saturday. It gave the boys time to go to go out and explore. Zemrick had been hearing rumors about a powerful Pokémon in the area and wanted to go and check it out for themselves. It was cold outside, due to it being the middle of February. The boys had a long and tough journey getting to the old fashion town, but they enjoyed every bit of it.

Zemrick was holding a town map in his hand. Zemrick had been using the town map to navigate them on their mini adventure through Kalos. "Whelp we're finally here." He said.

"Honedge, Honedge." Honedge was happy to see his trainer happy.

"Solsis, Solsis." Solsis too was happy to see his trainer happy.

Zemrick and Riley were walking down the road. While walking, the town was crowded with dozens of people. But the strange thing was that the people were dressed up in medieval attire. It was almost as if a festival was going on, which well exactly was the case.

Riley looks around and takes a breath of fresh air. Wanting to get a stench of the fresh cool air. "Now we can finally search for that rare and mysterious Pokémon you found out about on the player search system."

"Yeah," Zemrick replied. He puts the town map away and grabs his homemade pokedex, called the paperback pokedex.

Riley looked at the old worn and torn book with disgust. "I can't believe you still carry around that old book." He shivered. For as long as the two boys have been friends and he knew about the paperbook pokedex, Riley was never a fan of it. "Just use a regular pokedex instead."

"No!" Zemrick replied. Holding onto the paperbook pokedex like it was his own baby. Zemrick like a parent was very overprotective of his book. So, when someone insulted his baby, he was going to into defense mode. "The paperbook pokedex is an amazing pokedex, even better than that fancy one."

Zemrick pus his hands on his hip as Solsis was floating right next to him. "Besides, the pokedex is filled with lies." He explained. "Like in one of the pokedex entries for Riachu, it talks about an Indian elephant. What is an Indian elephant? That's just a made-up thing."

"My paperbook pokedex is the real thing." He bragged. "It contains information about pokemon that I researched instead." He went on. But when he looked up he saw that Riley was gone with Kavallerie floating next to him and talking to a young boy, which made him angry. "How dare you leave, when I'm talking to you?" Zemrick asked.

"Oh, sorry about that," Riley replied while he turned around to talk to Zemrick. "But this little boy here challenge me to a pokemon battle, I couldn't say no." He explained. "And you were starting to get boring, so of course I had to leave."

"Honedge, Honedge." The steel type pokemon chuckled a bit.

Zemrick's face turned red, feeling very insulted. "Why you…"

Solsis rolled his eyes. Solsis hated it when Zemrick would get extremely passionate about his science stuff because he could be annoying. "Solsis, solsis."

Solsis crouches his body together and three light blue lights form around his body. Solsis shoots the three psychic balls of energy at the boy, causing him to fall to the ground and his eyes turning into Xs. He was unconscious. "Mommy, please give me some milk."

"Solsis, Solsis." Solsis did that to teach him a lesson.

"Excuse him." Riley apologized. "He's my friend."

"Don't worry about it." A young male said. He was a little bit shorter then Riley but was the same age. He had messy brown hair and was wearing a knight uniform, with a sword in his arsenal. The two got distracted from the conversation they where having, thanks to Zemrick's antics.

"As I was saying. My name is Arthur, and I was wondering if I can have a battle with you're Honedge over there." He pointed, looking at Riley's Honedge. Arthur was quite impressed by the way that Riley's Honedge looked and was quite inspired by it.

"Sure, I see why not," Riley replied. Riley had been looking to battle someone anymore, so he was lucky that Arthur came up with the request. "By the way, my name is Riley, and this right here is my partner pokemon Kavallerie."

"Nice to meet you."

Riley and Arthur stood on opposing sides of each other, as they went to the back of the pokemon center to have a battle with each other. Zemrick was sitting on a bench in between the battlefield watching the battle that was going to take place between the two boys, while a flock of Fletchling flew above them.

"Fletchling, fletch." The flying type pokemon chirped, flying along and minding their own business.

The wind carried the two boys hair along with it. The boys were excited for the battle to begin. Both wanting to win a pokemon battle and both not having a battle in a long time. "How does a two on two sound?" Arthur asked Riley, feeling confident that he was going to win.

Riley nodded his head with a reply that signaled "yes". "Sure, I can use a two on two battle."

"But you only have one Pokemon." Zemrick pointed out.

"I know. But Kavallerie is a strong pokemon, we can do anything we put our mind too." Riley said.

"Honedge, Honedge." "Besides, if I want to be a future politician then I have to learn to take charge when faced in a group situation. So, this is similar." He explained while petting Kavallerie.

"Honedge, Honedge." Honedge enjoyed being petted.

"Alrighty then," Arthur said, grabbing his pokeball which had already been returned to its original size. "Solomon, I choose you," Arthur said as he tossed the pokeball. Bisharp a steel type pokemon, is released onto the battlefield. Bisharp was nicknamed Solomon.

"Bisharp!" He said. He looked noble and royal, having a serious look on his face, that was also stern. Bisharp was a loyal Pokemon, who would do anything his trainer Arthur tells it to do. "Sharp, sharp, sharp." Bisharp politely asked Riley to hurry up and send out his pokemon.

"That's a Bisharp." Riley recognized. He had recognized who the pokemon was, but he had never seen one in person – so he didn't know much about the steel and dark type pokemon. He reached into his pocket to pull his pokedex, but before he could finish scanning the pokemon, Zemrick interrupted him.

"I got it, don't use you're pokedex."

"Solsis, Solsis." The psychic type sweatdropped.

Riley sighed. "Not again…" The boy was, very used to Zemrick doing this, but that didn't mean that he liked it. In fact, like a lot of his other scientific shenanigans, he found it painful to get through.

Zemrick having a pocketbook pokedex, reached into his pocket to grab his handmade pokedex, that he made from scratch using his book. Zemrick didn't like pokedexes so he decided to make his own using research that he's gathered. "Where is it?" He asked as he "Bisharp is a dark and steel type pokemon. Its classification is known as the Sword Blade Pokemon." He started. "This pitiless Pokémon is known to command groups of Pawniard to hound prey into immobility." He started. "It then moves in to finish the prey of, trying to show the Pawniard the way of life."

"Thanks for the information, but I'm sure the pokedex would've said the same thing," Riley replied, feeling thankful.

"I know, but I like messing with your young master." Zemrick winked, causing Riley to get filled with rage and making his face red.

"I've told you a million times not to call me that name!"

"But your dad does, so why can't I?"

"I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN HE CALLS ME IT EITHER!"

Arthur stood there patiently waiting for the battle to begin and for him to send his pokemon out, but instead, he was still arguing with his friend.

Riley turns his attention back to the battle and clears his throat. "Sorry about that." He said. Riley turns around and looks at Kallvarie, Riley had a lot of high hopes in his partner pokemon, because deep down he knew that he could win the battles for him. "Are you ready to go?"

"Honedge." Kavallerie floats in front of Riley. It changed its attitude, now have a more serious one than the one it had before. Kavallerie and Bisharp both looked at each other, gaining a mutual understanding of how much they wanted to win the battle.

Arthur looked at Kavallerie, and his interest in him increased. There was something about the steel type pokemon, that gave off a strong scent which drew Arthur too him. Arthur was a big fan of the Honedge line and was studying to become a knight. "You make the first move." He said, trying to test the sword pokemon and see what it can do.

"Alrighty then. Honedge uses Shadow Ball."

Doing what his trainer asked him to do, Honedge forms a ball made from the shadows in front of him. The ball was a light purple that had purple electricity surrounding it. "Honedge." Honedge launches the ball towards Bisharp.

Arthur smirked. Just by looking at the ball coming towards his steel type, he knew exactly how to counter the attack. "Counter it with Iron Head." Arthur had a thick British accent.

"Sharp." Bisharp's sticks his head out. The blade starts sticking out of the top of Bisharp's head and turns into iron from the front to the back. Bisharp hops into the air and flies towards Honedge, who was staring at his opponent, waiting for the pokemon to attack.

Bisharp slams his head into the Shadow Ball and cuts it with the blade on top of his head, destroy it in the process. Riley was impressed by the attack so much so that it made him realize that Bisharp was a lot stronger then it looked.

"Woah, Bisharp is really powerful," Zemrick said. Looking at how powerful the steel type pokemon was, inspired the boy to want to make some interesting notes on it. "I just have to take some notes on it." He continued looking for his book which was in his messy backpack. After a while he finally found it. "There it is!"

He opens the book and starts riding down information about the steel type pokemon. Meanwhile, a young girl with brown hair walked by and saw Riley and Arthur in the middle of their battle and walked over towards him. The girl had been looking for Arthur and was relieved that she finally found him. "There you are!" She said, grabbing the young boy by his ear.

"Where have you been?"

"Elizabeth, let go!" He replied. The young boy was in pain from the ear-grabbing that she had been doing. Elizabeth had brown hair and was wearing circular glasses and she had bright green eyes. She let go of his ear and started shaking her head.

"I don't understand why you left in the first place."

"Because, I don't want to be around him, and besides I want to get some training in with my Honedge before the Sacred Sword Competition starts."

Zemrick and Riley walked up to them. The boys were confused as to what exactly was going on and needed more information, seeing as they never saw this girl before and only just met the boy.

"Sacred sword competition?" Riley asked.

"Oh yes," Arthur said. "I guess you don't know about the Honedge festival!"

"The Honedge festival?" Zemrick asked. "What is that? I've never heard of it before."

"You never heard of the Camphrier Towns Honedge Festival?"

"No." Both boys said.

"The Honedge festival is a three-day event hosted to celebrate the day a sword that eventually became a Honedge, was pulled by a named Merlyn who owned a Cobalion. It gave him powers and he used those powers to create a village, which is Camphrier Town." Arthur explained to them. "We celebrate the competition not only to honor Merlyn but also find a new king or queen."

"A new king?" Riley asked.

"Yep. Whoever pulls the sword out of the stone is chosen to become the new ruler of Camphrier Town." Elizabeth explained. But she started to feel a little bit sad about the legend because there was something about it that saddens her. "However, it's been over 12,000 years since someone has been able to pull the sword."

Zemrick was surprised to hear that so did Riley. "So, what have ya'll be doing since then?"

"We just decide who the current king is by having a trainer whose Honedge knows Sacred Sword."

"Sacred Sword?" Riley asked.

"It's a powerful attack, legends say that the attack is a source of power from Merlyn's Honedge," Elizabeth said.

Both Riley and Zemrick where impressed by the legend of the town. Riley who was a political nut was extremely interested in the politics that went on in the town. You see Riley is a political major and central leftist.

Zemrick, on the other hand, was impressed by the science of the town. The two boys weren't just friends because of they got along, but they also had similar interests in politics and sciences were pretty much alike.

Elizabeth remembered that she forgot to introduce herself. "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth and Riley here are my brothers."

Riley and Zemrick both laugh. "Nice to meet you, Elizabeth. My name is Zemrick."

"And I'm Riley."

Elizabeth turns to her brother. She was angry at him, for leaving home and not telling her where he went. Because their father was looking for him. "Sorry about my brother challenging you to a battle. He isn't supposed to leave home without our father's permission."

Arthur looks down. There was a reason as to why he left his fathers. His father was abusive to not only his father but also him. Both Arthur and his mother witnessed firsthand how abusive Wikstrom could get. But Elizabeth never saw it, because he was the only perfect thing about his life.

"You don't understand."

Elizabeth was confused. She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows up. "I don't understand what?"

"Nothing, just forget about it." The brown hair boy replied. He almost wanted to cry but didn't want to do it in front of everyone. He also felt like he wasn't supposed to do it because his father told him that boys weren't supposed to cry.

Elizabeth sighed. If she knew the truth she would understand, but she didn't. "You are so dramatic." She said.

"Let's just go." He said. It was painful for him to say, seeing that he didn't want to go back home. But he knew that the longer he stayed out without the permission of his father, it would only get worse. He started walking along, but he quickly turns around as Riley and Zemrick where there and he had a feeling that by them being there it would make things better.

"You two should come," Arthur suggested. "I think it would be great, plus you guys can meet a member of the elite four."

Riley and Zemrick's eyes widen up. They didn't believe the words that they were hearing at first about a member of the elite four being at Arthurs house, so the two boys looked at each other in a suspension of disbelief.

"A member of the elite four?" Riley and Zemrick both asked.

"Why yes." He replied. "My father is Wikstrom of the Kalos Elite Four."

"Woah, that's so cool," Riley replied.

"Yeah," Zemrick said in shock.

Hearing the boys praise his father, made him remember all the terrible things that his father did to both him and his mother. "But it isn't all that its cracked up to be." He said quietly.

"What was that?" Zemrick asked.

"Nothing." Arthur blushed. "Let's just go."

The four of them started walking throughout the town where the festival was going to be held. A minutes later they end up going to Arthur and Elizabeth's house which was a castle. The four ends up walking into their house and were surprised by how big the house was.

"Your house is huge," Zemrick said, looking around the inside of the colossal house.

"Oh, this is nothing. This is just the summer home." Elizabeth said.

"Why don't you guys make yourself at home," Arthur said.

"Okay." Riley and Zemrick both responded. They sit down on the couch nearby, still being impressed by how the big house was. They found the couch that they were sitting on to be quite comfortable and soft too.

"Why don't I go make you guys some tea," Elizabeth said. "And father wants to see you."

Arthur started to shake, feeling nervous about seeing his father. Who he hasn't seen since this morning. The young boy started to sweat like buckets. "He wants to see me?"

"Yes, now go on." Elizabeth pushed her brother.

"Oh hey, Elizabeth, do you have a bathroom?" Riley asked. He could tell that something was going on with Arthur since he seemed very different once his sister came around and the mentions of his father and wanted to go and see what was going on.

Despite not wanting to go see him, Arthur knew that he should. He walked into his father's study where he was wearing a knight suit. Arthur swallowed his spit in disgust. His father was drinking some gin and you could tell that he had a lot of drinks.

"Why did you leave?" He asked. His chair was turned around and he could hear the footsteps of his son from a mile away. He turned around to face his son with a belt in his hand.

"Father I went out to do as you said." He lied.

Wikstrom gets up. He could tell by the look on his son's nervous face that he was lying. All he wanted from his son was one simple task, but he couldn't deliver it to him. "All I ask is that you go out there and catch a Honedge that can learn Sacred Sword for me, but you continue to fail me."

Wikstrom gets out of his chair and walks over closer towards his son. Arthur begins slowly backing away, finding the situation to be very uncomfortable. "Please dad, don't do it. I'll make sure to go and catch a Honedge that knows Sacred Sword."

"You've told me that about a million times already!" Wikstrom shouted at his son.

"I know dad, but this time I promise I will."

"Promises aren't going to cut it."

Riley was walking down the hallway, and he heard Wikstrom yelling. He walked over to the door where Wikstrom room was and saw a tiny crack in the door. Riley peaks through the door and sees the conversation going on between father and son.

Wikstrom grabs his son by the neck and throws him onto the ground. The man was filled with rage, and his son was scared. "You were created so you can be king, but all you keep doing is disappointing me," Wikstrom shouted. Wikstrom starts to punch his son in the face, repeatedly.

Arthur starts crying, while his father punches him the face. Arthur starts to bleed from the punches too, and he gains two black eyes and a broken nose. But that didn't stop Wikstrom from counting to attack his son.

"Dad, please stop!"

"No!" He said. "Not until you go out and catch a Honedge that knows Sacred Sword!" He replied.

Riley couldn't watch anymore. "I want to do something, I do. But I know that Arthur would hate me and Wikstrom could hurt me." He was disgusted by what he was seeing and slowly walks away. He wanted to help Arthur, but he knew that in situations like this, that trying to help can also be very dangerous.

But Riley wasn't going to give up. He was going to help Arthur someway, but he just needed to think of something to do to help him, that wasn't getting himself involved in the middle. "But don't worry Arthur, I'm going to think of a way to help you…" He promised.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young boy whined. "I will, I will, I will. I will do anything to make you happy."

That made Wikstrom stop. The man gets up and walks over towards his desk and grabs his towel, so he can whip away the blood from his knuckles. The bruised-up Arthur with slowly got up. He has two black eyes and blood was running through his nose.

"Son, I just want what's best for you, and I think that being king is that thing."

"Yes, sir," Arthur replied.

"Now, stop crying and go out and catch me a Honedge."

"I will do sir." Arthur turns around and walks out of the room. He started to cry. He began taking in everything his father told him and applied it to himself. "Why are you such a weakling, Arthur?" He asked himself. Arthur gets down on his knees and starts crying. Arthur turns around and sees Riley walking. Arthur remembered that Riley had a Honedge, which gave him an idea.

"Riley has a Honedge…." He said to himself.

Arthur runs up to Riley and punches him in the face and knocks him down and out. Arthur grabs Kavallerie's pokeball. He regretted doing what he was about to do, but he knew that he had to steal it, so he couldn't suffer any more abuse from his father.

Arthur gets up and runs away. He walks back into his father's room while holding Kavallerie's pokeball in his hand. Even though Arthur stole Riley's pokemon, he just wanted to do it to make his father happy. "Father, I got something for you."

"What is it, son…?" Wikstrom asked.
