*At Greenleaf Castle*
Inside Greenleaf Castle, Kiyoto and Motonari were sitting in empty room with neither of their armies around them. Eevee and Snivy were sitting next to their masters.
"What is it that you need to talk about?" Motonari asked, looking at Kiyoto.
"About today's battle. It seems you let me win on purpose, don't you?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Based on the fact that I know you are stronger than me." Motonari smiled.
"It's been a while, Kiyoto."
"It has been 10 years since we talked like this, "Big Brother"."
"I was surprised when you and your sister came to my rescue. I don't expect you two to have changed so much."
"I see that you still the same as ever. Still getting yourself into trouble as always, big brother."
"Kiyoko still see me as a stranger through."
"Yeah...She hasn't forgiven you or Motochika yet for what happened."
"What happened ten years was an accident."
"But you put her Eevee in danger that time so it's normal for her to act like that"
"Oh boy, that girl knows how to hold one heck of a grudge for all these year."
"You can apologize to her once we reach Fontaine."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I wish for you to accompany me to Fontaine."
"Why?"
"I sort need an extra pair of hands with Kiyoko and Motochika if you know what I mean."
"I see...so you are not asking me join your army."
"No, I took Greenleaf from you when I don't intend to"
"Greenleaf was already your grandfather's before he handed the land over to me."
"That's because he knew that you would take good care of the land and he was right."
"I guess I could accompany you until after the battle then." Kiyoto stood up with Eevee
"Good, I have a feeling that Kiyoko and Motochika won't be getting along tomorrow."
"I could just imagine."
"See you later then."
"See in the morning." Kiyoto and Eevee left the room, leaving Motonari and Snivy alone. Motonari stood up and went to an open window. Snivy followed Motonari and climb onto the windowsill, looking at the setting sun.
"It's looks like Kiyoto and Kiyoko are all grown up...It looks like your hopes of uniting Ransei lies with them now." Kiyoto and Eevee went to the garden. Kiyoto watches as the sun set into the horizon.
"Why would Motochika make that sort of threat? He's not usually like this." Kiyoto said. "Then again, I also threatened him as well."
"Eve..." Kiyoto noticed his Eevee look at him with sad eyes. Kiyoto begin to pat Eevee on the head.
"Sorry for worrying you, Eevee. I guess I had a lot on my mind than I thought." Kiyoto looked back at the stars. "Motonari let me win that battle, even though he knew that he was stronger than me. Does that mean I'm unreliable as a warlord?" Kiyoto clenched his fists.
"Eevee..."
"That's why I have to get stronger and prove that we are strong enough to face any challenge. Tomorrow, we will win the battle against Motochika and rescue Kiyoko and Oichi. Right, Eevee?"
"Eve!"
"I already have a plan to rescue them, Let go back to the castle." Kiyoto and Eevee went back inside the castle.
*Back at Fontaine Castle*
Oichi and Jigglypuff woke up from their sleep when the door opens. She noticed that Kiyoko was coming in with a group of Pokemon following behind her. She also noticed that Kiyoko was carrying a large glass bowl, holding Feebas. Kiyoko noticed that Oichi and Jigglypuff were awake.
"Oh, Oichi, you're awake." Kiyoko said, closing the door behind her.
"Lady Kiyoko..." Oichi said sleepily. She looked around the unfamiliar room. "Where are we?"
"Fontaine...by the looks of it."
"Fontaine?! We were carried that far..."
"Yup, right now, we need a plan for getting out of here."
"Why?"
"We are in Fontaine Castle and there is a guy here I really don't want to see."
"What about the guards?"
"Haven't seen any. That stupid warlord always forgets to buff up security." Then the door slammed open, the girls turned to see a man walking in with an Oshawott next to him. He was wearing loose blue robes with one black chest guard strapped across his chest. Chains were wrapped around his waist while a white fur collar was wrapped around his neck and attached to one of the metal cuff of his black gloves. Metal tassets were on top of his black pant and green markings run across his chest and on the bottom of his eyes. He had messy black hair with long white bangs covering one of his eyes. He stared at Kiyoko, looking not too pleased. Oichi instantly recognize him as Motochika, the warlord of Fontaine.
"Who are you calling stupid?!" Kiyoko ignored him and bend down to Oshawott.
"Hey, Oshawott, long time no see." Kiyoko said cheerfully.
"Oshawott" Oshawott replied happily. Eevee run up and greet Oshawott as well.
"Hey, don't ignore me!" Motochika shouted.
"So Oshawott, what have you been do all this time."
"Osha Oshawott Osha!"
"So you and he who must not be named trained a lot." Oshawott nodded his head and tap on it's scalchop proudly.
"Wow, you do look so much stronger." Veins started popping out of his head as Kiyoko continued to only talk to Oshawott.
"How long are you planning to ignore me, Kiyoko?"
"So you and him were at the river one day and defeat some very tough Pokemon."
"Are you still upset of happened 10 years ago?! Look, it was an accident and I already apologized for it!" Kiyoko still continued to ignore him. Motochika sighed in defeat. He turned his attention on Oichi.
"Tell her that she's not allowed to leave here until after the battle. Also your lives are at stake."
"What do you mean?" Oichi asked.
"If your other warlord win, you two will be free to go, but if he loses, you two will be part of my army. Those will be the conditions for tomorrow's battle." Motochika head to the door and open it.
"Now rest, I will be back tomorrow morning. Come on, Oshawott!" Oshawott looked at it's master and waved good bye to Kiyoko and Eevee.
"See later, Oshawott." Oshawott followed it's master and the door closed behind it. Kiyoko breathe a sigh of relief.
"I thought he will never leave."
"Ahmm, Lady Kiyoko, do you know him?"
"You mean Motochika? Yes, unfortunately, he was like a big brother to me and Kiyoto when we were small."
"What did he mean by an "accident"?"
"It happened a long time ago...I don't what to talk about. All you need to know was that Motonari and Motochika were idiots."
"Alright...about tomorrow's battle."
"My brother will definitely win, no matter what. We just need to trust him."
"Yes." Kiyoko noticed that some of the Pokemon had fallen asleep. She covered them with an extra blanket and put Feebas' bowl on top of a dresser. Then she sat down next to Oichi.
"Plus I have a plan for escaping here." Kiyoko said with a grin.
"You do." Oichi said.
"Here the plan..." Kiyoko whispered the plan into her ear.
I thought that Kiyoko and Kiyoto could use some big brother figures, even though Kiyoko hates them. I know this chapter is kinda of dull, but it's all for the next battle. I don't know when I can write the next chapter (studying in college now), but I hope I could. Please review and vote.
