*Early the next morning*
A loud explosive erupted throughout Fortaine Castle. Kiyoko, Oichi and the Pokemon woke up abruptly as the castle shook from the explosive. Motochika and Oshawott, along his men and their Pokemon raced to the center of the explosive. As the dust and debris settled down, he could see Kiyoto and his Eevee standing in the middle of a giant hole in the wall.
"Kiyoto." Kiyoto and Eevee turned and started running away.
"Don't just stand there, go after him!" Motochika shouted to his men.
"Yes, sir!" Motochika and his men followed Kiyoto.
"What are you up to, Kiyoto?" Motochika wondered. As Motochika and his men were chasing after Kiyoto, Mitsunari, Hanbei, Pikachu, Masanori and Kiyomasa popped out of the bushes in front of the giant hole.
"Are they gone?" Masanari asked.
"Yup." Kiyomasa answered.
"Everything is going according to plan." Hanbei added
"Let's get inside before they come back." Mitsunari said. The four entered the castle through the hole. Meanwhile, Kiyoko opened the door a crack to see two guards and their Pokemon standing on both sides. She closed the door and looked at Oichi and the Pokemon.
"Is everyone ready?" Kiyoko whispered. Everyone nodded their heads.
"Oichi, Jigglypuff, You are up first." Oichi and Jigglypuff got close to the door, Oichi carefully open the door slightly.
"Okay, Jigglypuff, use Sing" Oichi whispered. Jigglypuff nodded it's head and started to sing a sweet lullaby. The guards and their Pokemon hear the singing.
"Where is this singing coming from?"
"I don't know...but I getting kind of sleepy." The guards and Pokemon slide down to the ground, fast asleep. Oichi peeked through the door and find the guards sleeping.
"The guards are asleep." Oichi said. Kiyoko picked up Feebas' bowl.
"Okay, let's get going." The door was opened wider and soon everyone was running down the hall, looking for the nearest exit. At that time, Motochika was chasing after Kiyoto into a nearby forest. Kiyoto led them deeper and deeper into the forest.
"Something is wrong. Kiyoto is just leading us away from the castle, instead of attacking." Motochika thought. Then he came to a sudden realization while Kiyoto secretly grinned.
"It's a trap!" Motochika shouted. Before anyone could react, the ground quickly gave way with his men and their Pokemon fell down into a large and deep pit. Rope traps sprang up and captured the rest of his men and remaining Pokemon, leaving Motochika and Oshawott by themselves.
"Prepare to ambush your opponent if necessary." Kiyoto stated, looking at Motochika.
"That's the third golden rule that your grandfather taught us back then." Motochika added.
"I challenge you Motochika of Fontaine to a battle for your kingdom!"
"I accept." Not far from the two, Motonari, Kanbei and their Pokemon were watching them.
"I wonder who is going to win, Kiyoto or Motochika?" Kanbei asked
"Both Kiyoto and Motochika are evenly matched. The results could go either way." Motonari answered.
"I will pray for victory for my lord's sake." Kanbei and Motonari looked back at them. Back at the castle, Kiyomasa was looking down the hallways, seeing no guards in sight.
"Alright, the coast is clear." he said, turning to the rest of the group. The four quietly move down the hall, opening the doors to every room.
"Where could the girls be?" Masanori said, closing a door.
"This is the third floor we check so far."
"Hey, have you guys noticed that there are no guards here?" Kiyomasa asked.
"Yea, I did notice that."
"Motochika must have gotten careless." Hanbei added.
"Something doesn't seem right, but what?" Mitsunari thought, closing the last door.
"Darn it, they are not here."
"Let's move to the next floor." The four headed to the nearest staircase when a fist came out of nowhere and hit Masanori in the face. Masanori fell flat on his back, twitching. The rest of the boys looked up to see Kiyoko holding onto Feebas' bowl and Oichi with a bunch of Pokemon following behind them.
"Miss Kiyoko, Oichi!" Hanbei said.
"Huh, Hanbei, Mitsunari, Kiyomasa?" Kiyoko said. Then she looked down and saw the almost unconscious Masanori.
"Oops, sorry Masanori. I thought you were a guard." Mitsunari and Kiyomasa noticed Pawniard, Krokorok and Fraxure behind Oichi.
"Hey, I remember you!" Mitsunari said, looking at Pawniard.
"You guys are the Pokemon from last time." Kiyomasa said. The three Pokemon nodded their heads.
"There they are!" Everyone turned to see the two guards running towards them.
"Let's get out of here." Kiyoko said, running away. The others followed her lead with Kiyomasa dragging the still barely conscious Masanori. Meanwhile, Oshawott and Eevee were in a fierce battle with neither side given in.
"Oshawott, Aqua Jet!" Motochika said. Water begun to surround Oshawott's body, then it launched itself towards Eevee like a speedy rocket.
"Eevee, use Dig to dodge it!" Kiyoto said. Eevee dug underground, escaping Oshawott's Aqua Jet.
"Oshawott, use Hydro Pump into that hole." Oshawott shoot out a powerful jet of water down the hole, forcing Eevee out of the ground and into the air.
"Eevee!"
"Aqua Jet now" Oshawott used Aqua Jet and shot straight towards the airborne Eevee.
"Eevee, quick. Use Shadow Ball!" Eevee send out three Shadow Balls towards Oshawott, stopping the attack midway. Both Pokemon landed back on the ground. Motochika smirked.
"I see that you and Eevee have improved over the years."
"You and Oshawott have gotten stronger." Kiyoto looked at his Eevee to see it panting.
"That Hydro Pump must have taken a toll on Eevee, I better be more careful." Kiyoto thought. Motochika notices this change as well.
"Eevee must take a lot of damage. Better use this chance to finish this battle." Motochika thought.
"Oshawott, use Hydro Pump once more." Motochika shouted. Oshawott send out another Hydro Pump towards Eevee.
"Eevee, dodge it!" Kiyoto said. Eevee narrowly dodge the Hydro Pump.
"Now, use Quick Attack!" Eevee quickly run towards Oshawott.
"Oshawott, dodge and then use Water Pulse!" Oshawott jumped back, dodging Eevee's attack. A light blue orb formed from Oshawott's mouth. Oshawott shoot the orb at Eevee.
"Shadow Ball now!" Eevee send out Shadow Balls towards the incoming Water Pulse. The Water Pulse and Shadow Ball collided, smoke soon surround the whole field. Motochika and Oshawott shielded themselves from the incoming smoke. Then Eevee came out of the smoke and tackle Oshawott. Eevee dug into the ground and disappeared down it's hole.
"Be careful, Oshawott!" Oshawott was frantically looking around for Eevee. The ground started to rumble as Eevee sprung up from the ground, causing Oshawott to be surprised.
"Eevee, Shadow Ball!" Eevee launched a array of Shadow Balls towards Oshawott. The attack hit Oshawott multiple times, causing a lot of damage.
"Oshawott, use Hydro Pump!" Oshawott dodged the last Shadow Ball and send out another Hydro Pump at Eevee. Eevee couldn't avoid the attack and took the full blast of the Hydro Pump. Despite the attacks, Eevee and Oshawott were still standing firmly, facing each other.
"Stay strong, Eevee."
"Eve!" responded Eevee.
"I'm counting on you, Oshawott!"
"Osha!" Oshawott cried. As the battle continued, Kiyoko and the gang were still running away from the guards. They finally reached outside, only to be stopped by another two guards and their Pokemon. The four guards soon surround the group. Masanori just wake up to see what's going on.
"Dang it, we're trapped." Masanori said, standing up. Kiyoko knew that the guards won't let them go without a fight.
"It looks like we have no choice, but to battle them." Kiyoko said, looking down at Eevee.
"Eevee, you are up." Eevee nodded it's head and run to the front of it's master.
"Allow me to assist you, Miss Kiyoko." Hanbei said, his Pikachu glaring at it's opponents.
"Jigglypuff, let's join the battle too." Oichi said. Jigglypuff stood next to Eevee, was looking ready for the battle. Mitsunari, Masanori and Kiyomasa noticed Pawniard, Fraxure and Krokorok were also ready for battle as well.
"You guys are going to help us?" Mitsunari asked. Pawniard looked at Mitsunari and nodded it's head. Mitsunari smiled.
"Oh man, how cool." Masanori said, Krokorok smirked.
"I wish we had brave Pokemon like you guys." Kiyomasa added, Fraxure grinned. Suddenly Mitsunari, Masanori and Kiyomasa begun to glow in a golden light as well as Pawniard, Fraxure and Krokorok.
"Huh?" Masanori said, looking at the light.
"What's going on?" Kiyomasa asked.
"...This light...Does that mean the three of us form a bond?" Mitsunari said. As the light faded, Mitsunari looked down at Pawniard.
"Pawniard, did you choose me to be your partner?"
"Pawn." Pawniard answered.
"Let's battle together then." Masanori and Krokorok were still puzzled by what happened.
"So does that mean you and I are partners, Krokorok?"
"Krok..."
"I guess we will figure that out later, let's kick some butt!"
"Krokorok!" Kiyomasa and Fraxure sighed, Kiyomasa grinned at Fraxure.
"I guess you feel the same way about those two, huh?"
"Fraxure Fraxure."
"I guess you and I are partners, so let's battle and get out of here."
"Frax!" Kiyoko smiled and turned back to the opponents.
"Let's go!" Kiyoko shouted. Kiyoko and the gang begin their battles. Meanwhile, Kiyoto and Motochika's battle was reaching to it's final conclusion. Both Eevee and Oshawott were both exhausted from the battle. Kiyoto and Motochika noticed that their Pokemon cannot last much longer.
"Eevee won't be able to handle any more damage. This last attack has to count." Kiyoto thought.
"Oshawott has taken a lot of damage. I have to end this quickly." Motochika thought.
"Oshawott, Water Pulse!" Oshawott launched a series of Water Pulses.
"Eevee, Quick Attack to dodge!" Eevee ran passed all the Water Pulses and heading straight towards Oshawott.
"Aqua Jet!" Oshawott rushed right towards Eevee. The attacks collided, sending both Pokemon flying back and landing flat on the ground.
"Oshawott, get up!" Motochika shouted. Oshawott was struggling to get up.
"Eevee, stay strong!" Kiyoto shouted. Eevee was struggling as well to get up. Both Pokemon were trying to stand. Oshawott was the first to stand, but then it fell back and fainted. Eevee remained standing up. Motochika walked over to Oshawott, picking the Pokemon up from the ground.
"You battle very well, Oshawott." Motochika said.
"Osha..."
"Motochika!" Motochika turned to see Kiyoto running over to him with Eevee in his arm.
"It was a great battle. You have definitely grown, Kiyoto."
"But I still have a lot of training left to do. My battle with you and Motonari has taught me that." Kiyoto said.
"So you finally understand then." Kiyoto and Motochika saw Kanbei, Lampent, Motonari and Snivy walking towards them.
"That was a excellent battle, My Lord." Kanbei said. "It seems that luck was on your side today."
"Thanks, Kanbei." Kiyoto said.
"So you watched to whole thing, Motonari?" Motochika asked.
"Yup." Motonari answered.
"Che, always sticking your nose into other people's business."
"Well, it's always provides interesting results."
"That is true..." Motochika turned back to Kiyoto.
"The kingdom of Fontaine is now. Please take care of this land."
"You can count on me, Big Brother Motochika!"
"Kiyoto, Kanbei!" Everyone turned around to Kiyoko and the gang running towards them.
"Kiyoko, Miss Oichi! Everyone!" Kiyoko run up to her brother and hugged him tightly.
"Kiyoko, you're choking me..."
"Oops, sorry" Kiyoko said, letting go.
"I see that another part of the plan was successful."
"Also Mitsunari, Masanori and Kiyomasa have their own Pokemon now." Kiyoto saw Pawniard, Krokorok and Fraxure standing near them.
"Looks like our army is expanding. Hopefully, we will be able to look after four kingdoms while training the army."
"You mean..."
"I won the battle, now we are looking after Fontaine."
"That's great news."
"Hey, Kiyoko" Kiyoko turned her head to Motonori and Motochika.
"I know what we did back then was wrong."
"But we are very sorry. Can you please forgive us now?" Kiyoko just stared at them blankly before nodding her head.
"I will forgive this time, but there won't be a next time." She went and hugged them.
"My stupid Big Brothers." Motonari and Motochika couldn't help, but smile. Kiyoto went up to Oichi.
"I'm glad that you are safe, Miss Oichi." Kiyoto said.
"Oh, thank you for worrying about me." Oichi said shyly. The two started blushing. After freeing Motochika's army, everyone decides to stay at Fontaine for the rest of the day. After Motonari summon his army to Fontaine, both armies were turned over to Kiyoto and Kiyoko. Once everything was in order, Kiyoto and Kiyoko called Motonari and Motochika into a meeting in a private room.
"What is it you two want to talk to us about?" Motonari asked, sitting down across from the twins.
"Yeah, you two won't drag us here for no reasons." Motochika added. A heavy silence fell onto the room; Kiyoto was the one who broke the silence.
"It's about your armies." Kiyoto said. Both Motonari and Motochika looked very grim.
"The last time we were here, both of you had a good amount of warriors, but now it's just 1/4 of the size." Kiyoko said.
"Motonari, Motochika...what happened?"
"The warriors...they just left."
"What do you mean they left?"
"They went up to the far north and swear allegiance to a more powerful warlord."
"With both kingdoms at their weakest, it was only a matter of time before both lands would be taken by another warlord."
"So that's why you let me win the battle at Greenleaf."
"Yeah...I would feel better, knowing that you two will be looking over the kingdoms."
"You have our word; we will look after Greenleaf and Fontaine."
"Thank you, Kiyoto, Kiyoko."
"What is the name of this powerful warlord?" Motonari and Motochika paused before finally saying the name.
"Nobunaga"
