A/N: And the final decision is...[drum roll] UMBREON AND ESPEON! Yes! The two [perfect] EEVEELUTIONS practically! Ha. Does anyone else want to enter the Mount Battle 10 Trainer Challenge? Prize is 10,000 POKEDOLLARS and a TM30 (Shadow Ball). LOL. So we continue with Holly's ventures in stuff. Sure. Oh and by the way, this chapter contains references to Angelic Layer.
A shadow fell across ESPEON'S face. ESPEON growled slightly and used Morning Sun to recover from the damage from UMBREON'S bite. The shadow disappeared.
"Falkner?" Holly blinked. "What are you doing here?" [Okay...since I don't know if Falkner's your OLDER brother or your YOUNGER brother I'll make him your older bro for now, Shadow! Tell me what it is!]
"Just visiting Shadow!" Falkner replied cheerfully. "Epsilon's coming! So which two POKEMON have you chosen?"
"UMBREON and ESPEON."
"Your best, huh? I'd say so..." he chuckled. "I want a rematch! I've gotten better!"
"I should hope so." Holly responded.
"Who are you to talk?"
"What do you mean? I OWNED you with ESPEON back at Violet!"
"Too true, too true." Falkner smiled one last time and left.

Epsilon hopped off his bike at the edge of town. Yuki had agreed to wait for him at ROGAN'S house at AGETO Village. [By the way, ROGAN is EAUGUN (sp?)]
Isaac was tending to the MAGCARGO. "Come on, MAGCARGO. You can move out of that hole! Look! I brought you a treat!" MAGCARGO refused to move out of the hole in the ground, which it seemed to believe it was stuck in. [Does that make sense?] "Hey! Can you tell me where Mihara-kun is?" Epsilon had sandy hair and mirrored sunglasses. Most of the time, he didn't wear them. For some odd reason, he had a white stripe on his face.
Isaac looked up at the odd newcomer. "Sure...I think she's on the beach."
"Thank you."
Epsilon had a strange device on his arm. Known as the snag machine, he could use it to capture a trainer's POKEMON. Fortunately, he wasn't evil and captured 'Shadow POKEMON' from CIPHER. Formerly, he was known as the best SNAGGER on Team SNAGEM. [Tee Hee...I tried to be evil! I told my 'boss' that I wanted to! But they wouldn't let me =(]
Holly was feeding her precious EEVEELUTIONS. Epsilon tapped her on the shoulder. "FLAREON, you know the drill." She muttered. The perfect defense. FLAREON did a quick fire spin, allowing Holly time to turn around and see exactly who it was. "Epsilon. Hello."
"FLAREON, you can stop now."
Epsilon shrugged and said, "Yuki is waiting for us. Let's go." And so Holly left with Epsilon.
Meanwhile Shadow was dragging FALKNER around the village. "And THIS is Laine, and THIS is Ally..."
[Think Tamayo and Koutarou from Angelic Layer]
Lydia stared at them. "Is that guy all right?" (They're from different regions) "Don't worry, he's still alive!" Shadow called cheerfully. "And by the way, FALKNER, that's Lydia! She's Isaac's cousin!"
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!" Harley stumbled out of the town square, MUK close at his heels. "H...ey..." MUK was strangling him.
(Sweatdrop)
Lydia sighed. "QUILAVA, if you would..."
"MUK!" MUK was revolted at QUILAVA'S flamethrower. "Thanks." Harley rubbed some...muck off of his arm. "Hey Harley! This is my loser brother, Falkner!" "HEY!" [I kind of borrowed that from Angelic Layer...LOL]
Harley nodded. "Uh...huh..."
"How's your day?" Harris the policeman seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Harley flinched and moved closer to MUK.
"Hi Harris! This is my stupid brother Falkner!" "HEY!"
Harris smiled. "Stay out of trouble!" he said before disappearing into the Inn. Harley sighed as if he had been holding his breath the entire time the officer was there. "Is something wrong?" Lydia asked.
"N...oooooooo..."
Shadow and Falkner didn't hear the rest of it because Shadow dragged Falkner off already.
"ANN! THERE you are! Meet FALKNER! He's from Violet City (? Is it city? Or is it town?)
Ann stared at the now unconscious Falkner. "Is that guy all right?"
"Don't worry, he's still alive!" Shadow laughed.
MT. BATTLE CHALLENGE
Holly bit her lip. Even if it was just 10 challenges, it was levels 90-100. It ended with SOMEK. If she won, then...
"Hello." Said the receptionist. "Will you be entering the 90-100 challenge, or a knockout challenge, or a regular challenge?"
"I guess a knockout challenge...instead of a regular challenge..."
"What level POKEMON will you be registering?"
"Um...levels 70 and 70."
"And what two POKEMON do you choose?"
"UMBREON and ESPEON."
"Keep in mind that instead of fighting 10 trainers, this competition will include 8 trainers fighting to be the best! Try your hardest! Okay, step through either green door on the left, or the blue door on the right."
Holly took a deep breath as she stepped through the green door...
CHALLENGE 1: Battle Girl Cindy vs. EEVEELUTION trainer Holly
"I won't lose!" Cindy muttered as she walked onto the battle stage...
Meanwhile, back at Mineral Town, Falkner and Shadow were at the Inn. "So anyways, Falkner, what do you think so far about Mineral Town?"
"Hmm...it's nice."
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Yes. I believe it is."
Shadow looked unconvinced, but she didn't comment.
"Oh, and by the way, Lance is coming."
"Lance...?" Shadow's normally collected and cool mind drifted through the memories of the infamous dragon tamer...
Karen burst into the clinic. "ELLI! You won't believe it!"
"Calm down, Karen! What is it?"
"Well, you know how we thought that Falkner was going to be the last person coming in a really, REALLY long time?"
Elli looked skeptical. "Are you saying someone ELSE is coming?"
Karen nodded enthusiastically. "YEA!"
"And just where did you hear this? If it was the Town Square, Karen, I'll never believe it."
"NO! I heard it at the Inn! There was a telephone call for that other guy, Falkner!"
---
Cindy tried to intimidate Holly with a glare. Holly didn't pay attention. "COME ON COME ON! LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF! MACHOP!" yelled Cindy (Actually, her name was Cyndy, but the registration girl made a mistake). Cindy smirked. This 'Holly' didn't have anything really important like this on her Trainer Card. She was bound to be a novice. Cindy, being the battle girl she was, thought that Holly would lose for sure. 'Holly', Cindy thought. 'You're going down.' "GO! MAKUHITA! WE'LL SHOW YOU TRUE GUTS!" she called. "I won't lose to a newbie like you." She muttered. [BTW, Battle Girl Cyndy is waiting for you in Ruby version /Sapphire Version outside of Meteor Falls on the beach.]

Ally was training her ABSOL at Isaac's farm. "Good! Now, try Razor Wind! GREAT! ABSOL, combine it all!"
ABSOL moved smoothly and with grace. A smooth swords dance sharply rose its attack power. Like water, it flowed from one spot to another, and a razor wind distorted Ally's view of it for a while. Slash brought it to the very edge of the field. The wind rippled the grass.
Isaac watched through a window. 'Wow. It's like watching an old samurai movie...'
Some samurai movies are set with battles in large, grassy, fields.
"Good going, ABSOL! Come on, let's go to the Inn!"
---
Ann was chatting with Cliff. Cain brooded darkly in a corner. When Ally entered, Ann bounded up to her. "Did you know?"
"Huh?"
"There's a guy coming! And just when we thought no one else would come too! We had to use up our Inn extension already! We need to get another one for this new guy!"
Cain snapped at them. Cliff shot his PIDGEOT a glare before saying, "You don't need to get an extension...I'm going to stay at the COBAYE. I think Cain needs therapy." That did it. Cain screeched and started to attack.
"EEKS! Cliff, stop that thing!" Ann shrieked. Cliff shrugged and stood still. Ally stood in silence watching it all. Suddenly Cliff grabbed Cain's leg. "Do that again," he said quietly. "And we'll see to it that you're a present to the Inn...if you get what I'm saying..." he gestured to the kitchen. Cain grumbled a bit and went back to brooding in the dark corner.
--
"Go. UMBREON and ESPEON."
Cindy flinched noticeably. 'A psychic type?' she panicked. 'This isn't good! And those are really tough POKEMON! MAKUHITA and MACHOP are only level 69!'
'But never mind. We'll take out that UMBREON first! Maybe we can dodge the attacks!' [BTW, battles are based on the show, not the game. At least for this 'challenge'.]
"ALL RIGHT! WE'LL BE THE FIRST AND BEST OFFENSE! MAKUHITA, CROSS CHOP!"
Holly smiled sadly. 'But,' a voice echoed in her head. 'The road to victory is filled with many fallen trainers.' "True." Holly whispered.
"Umbreon, use mean look. Espeon, just stall for a bit." Holly said calmly. Cindy couldn't hear her. One of Cindy's big flaws was predictability. Yelling out the attacks...well, It was, after all, the mark of a simple beginner.
Cindy was beginning to grow suspicious. Why wasn't ESPEON attacking? MACHOP and MAKUHITA froze from mean look already.
"Espeon. Let's finish this. Psychic." Holly murmured.
To the audience, the battlefield bent and twisted out of shape as Psychic distorted their vision. When the field was cleared again, MACHOP and MAKUHITA had fainted.

End Chapter 11
A/N: So how did y'all like it? You didn't, ne? Anyhoo, the next chapter is Lance's arrival! And if any of you want to enter the Mount Battle Challenge, go right ahead. The first one to review meets Holly in the finals. Anyhow, I know I said this chapter would contain references to Angelic Layer. I lied. Actually, it shall be next chapter.
[Translated from stupid speak: I was bored of this chapter and so I lied about it to make people think I actually am smart.]
[Translated from the translator: I was too lazy to put in the Angelic Layer stuff so it will be next chapter.]
A shadow fell across ESPEON'S face. ESPEON growled slightly and used Morning Sun to recover from the damage from UMBREON'S bite. The shadow disappeared.
