Hello everyone! I'd just like to put up a note to any Pokemon purists out there. I want to apologize for the misuse of the move "Stomp" in Chapter 10. It turns out, Keldeo cannot actually learn the move Stomp, even though its Pokedex info says that it's a master at leg attacks. So, um, just imagine that this was taking place in Gen I, where Stomp was a TM, and we should be good. Um, I think. Now that that's out of the way, let's get back to the story!


The door to the room where Constantine was opened. Constantine stood up and was greeted by Trainer X and Commander G. They saluted him. "Lord Constantine," Commander G spoke up, "we have come as you requested."

Constantine nodded in response. The two of them entered the room and closed the door. "Tell me." Constantine picked up a paperweight off of his desk and started to throw it up and down in the air."Are you aware of the significance of Target Zero to us?"

Commander G nodded. "Yessir."

"Good." Constantine set the paperweight down on the desk with a thump. "Are you also aware that just a little bit earlier, a dispatch team was sent to capture Target Zero?"

Commander G was started to feel a little worried. "Um, yes, sir. But, what does this have to do with anything?"

Constantine looked at the both of them with an extremely grave look. "The dispatch team failed."

"What? But how could they?" Commander G truly was shocked.

"It appears as if Arceus had given our target a better form then we expected. A Keldeo, technically. Plus, he had help. This spells trouble for us."

Commander G stood up. "Sir. Do you want us to retrieve him?"

Constantine smiled. "That's exactly right. I like your intuition, G. That's why I chose you above the others."

Commander G wanted to roll her eyes, but she just nodded and said, "We will leave at once."

And just like that, she left. Just as Trainer X was about to leave, Constantine stopped him. "I do not expect failure from you. I believe you will come through for me." Trainer X slowly nodded to this and left.

Constantine returned to his chair, and he prepared himself for his assured victory.


Meanwhile, Ronald and friends sat down for a nice lunch. Unfortunately, Kangaskhan had packed 3 lunches for 2 Pokemon. Now, they had to make it 2 lunches for 3 Pokemon.

"Wow. This is incredibly good!" Ronald commented, bending down to take another bite of his sandwich. "But, uh, did she know that I wouldn't be able to hold my sandwich?"

Peach giggled at this. "She's absent-minded like that sometimes. But, you have to admit, this is really yummy. What do you think, Omega?"

Omega nodded. "Yes, this is good. But, its not the best thing I have ever eaten. That prize would go to Ronald and his wonderful Poffins."

"What?" Ronald was surprised. "Really? Oh, come on. They couldn't have been that good."

"I'm serious. The others would definitely all agree with me hands-down!" Ronald was blushing at this.

"Um, excuse me?" Peach piped up. "But, what are Poffins?"

Ronald smiled. "They're like little cakes made out of berries. I used to make them for my Pokemon all of the time."

"Wow! That sounds really yummy!" Peach looked dreamily off into space. "Can you make some for me, pretty please?"

Ronald gave a sad sigh. "I'd love to, Peach. But I have a slight problem." He motioned to his front legs with discomfort. "Sorry."

"Aw." Peach looked really sad.

Ronald nuzzled her. "Don't worry. I'm certain we'll figure something out. Okay?"

She nodded. "Okay." Then she looked over at Omega. He had a far-away look in his eyes. "Hey, Omega. Is something wrong?"

He looked at her. "Um, I'm not sure. There might be." He sighed. "Would you like me to tell you a story?"

"A story?" Peach asked. "Why?"

"It's just something I think you should hear. Ronald, I feel it best if you listened as well."

Ronald nodded. "Okay. I'll listen. But, what, pray tell, is your story about?"


Wouldn't you like to know, audience? Hah!

*booing* *hissing* *throws rotten tomatoes*

Whoa! Hey! Stop that! This is a rental!
*splat*
...Well, so much for that. Look, just stay tuned. I promise you, the next chapter is going to be Omega's story. So, for now, ciao!
