"People of all the Regions, it brings me great joy to tell you all that we have caught six members of the mystery terrorist group. We have identified two as former Team Rocket members and One as a former team Magma member. We continue our attempts at finding more information but as of yet it has been futile, however we have had one very clear statement from one of the men captured;
You all hide behind your little desks in your quiet comfortable mundane lives, but we are here to free the world of your kind, to shatter your false comfort. You accept what you see for what it is, we know there is more to it, the very base of the universe is palpable yet you fear it and stop anyone who does not. We are not the only ones, there are many many more, and we will accomplish what we intend to, the keys to reality lies in front of us…

The man in question is thirty six year old Otto Dreibig, an anonymous source led authorities to him after suspicious activity which was discovered to be the set-up of a scheme devised to tamper with air-craft and naval equipment, which could have led to millions of dollars in damage and hundreds of deaths. In short, we have won a battle, but we are far from winning the war

Present Day, Castelia Gym 2:26

"Well I must say" Burgh said as he returned the unconscious dwebble "You certainly have skill, and most definitely have style"

"It's what I do" Raian replied happily as he threw the panting petilil a poffin before suddenly feeling his phone shake, he quickly pulled the phone out to see a picture of six gibles sitting on a steel beam before he shut the phone off

"Very Impressive" Burgh replied "Let's see if you can keep it up, come on out shelmet!"

Burgh threw forth a pokeball which spin wildly in the air before it unleashed a beam which quickly formed into a small creature on the battlefield. Raian, Iian, and josue all looked with curiosity as the shelmet formed. It was a small creature, no bigger than a foot and a half, it had a hard metallic looking shell which looked rather similar to a knights armor with two tiny stubby legs, and inside sat a small pink and green slimy looking bug with a long snout and a tiny puckering type of mouth.

"Shelmet, Non-feral, bug type, the snail Pokémon" Josues pokedex said out loud as he and iian looked at its small screen "When attacked shelmet will retreat into its hard shell and secrete a sticky poisonous liquid. The unique shell of shelmet inspired medieval armor"

"Neat" Iian said as he glanced between the small screen and the shelmet

"Huh" Raian said as he and Lucario both tilted their heads "I'm not sure if it's adorable or weird"

"Definitely Adorable" Burgh replied tilting his head with closed eyes "But not only that, powerful"

"We'll see about that" raian replied confidently "Come on petilil, use razor leaf!"

"Dodge it and use Acid!" Burgh yelled out

Petilil shot forth a spray of leaves, shelmet quickly sucked into its shell and rolled to the side avoiding the leaves. Shelmet then quickly opened its shell back up and spat out a spray of light purple acid. Petilil jumped backwards quickly but the spray still reached its small feet.

"Petilil are you alright?" Raian asked concerned

"Pet" Petilil replied as it looked at the liquid, for a moment nothing happened, but then it suddenly began to warm up, petilils eyes widened as the heat became intense, it wasn't long before petilil was jumping around shaking its legs trying to rid the acid.

"Alright Shelmet, now use mega drain!" Burgh yelled out

"Shel-met" Shelmet replied meekly.

Shelmet ran forth on its tiny legs towards the hopping Petilil and shot forth an array of thick roots which hit petilil directly and began to suck nutrients and power.

"Use Absorb!" Raian yelled out

As Petilil squirmed she suddenly shot forth weak roots from underneath her leaves into shelmet, directly onto its pink slimy skin.

"Wait...what?" Josue questioned as the Pokémon absorbed nutrients and power from each other

"That seems rather confusing" Iian said with an odd look on his face not aware of eevee and growlithe chewing on his backpack

"Enough, use struggle bug!" Burgh yelled out

Shelmet quickly slammed its shell closed and began to shake violently, destroying all the roots before jumping forth at Petilil and striking the plant creature.

"Sleep powder, now!" raian yelled out as shelmet rammed Petilil

"Peti!" Petilil replied as shelmet struck, suddenly petilil unleashed a small cloud of powder which covered the snail.

"Shel?" Shelmet said with confusion as it looked at the powder

"Shelmet use curse and then struggle bug!" Burgh yelled out

Shelmet quickly slammed its shell shut and began to shake as it seemed to struggle, its body beginning to give off a light purple glow

"Curse?" Josue asked

"It's an odd move" Iian replied "It works best with ghosts types, but for others all it really does is increase attack and defense while lowering speed'

"It seems like there are better ways to do that" Josue replied

"I agree, burgh must have something else in mind" Iian replied oblivious to the two Pokémon enjoying themselves at the expense of his bag.

"Shel!" shelmet yelled out as it stopped glowing

"Wait a minute" raian said noticing much of the powder had come off shelmet "You clever sandshrew, you were trying to lower the chance of shelmet breathing in the powder"

Burgh clicked as he gave a thumbs up and pointed at raian while winking

Suddenly Shelmet shot forth at a great speed lower than before at Petilil

"Come on Petilil use razor leaf!" Raian yelled out

Petilil happily complied shooting forth an array of leaves from its head at the charging shelmet. The leaves struck and took the shelmet off its feet and onto its side

"Alright now use synthesis while you can!" raian yelled out

"Just like him' Iian said crossing his arms "Wastes the opportunity to attack to try and heal, what a wanker"

'What does that even mean?" Josue asked

"What, wanker?" Iian replied at which Josue nodded "You know, I don't really know for certain…"

Fourteen years ago

"Bloody wanker faffing hobknocker, with your bloody bender arse!" Sera yelled as she kicked her washing machine, unaware of the young child listening in from the doorway

Present day

"…I guess I just picked it up from somewhere" Iian finished

"Alright shelmet try it again, charge and use struggle bug!" Burgh yelled out

"Let's do this!" raian yelled out "Petilil, time for the Green Screen Surprise!"

'Oh goodness, another contest move" Josue said paying close attention

"Green what now?" Burgh asked as Shelmet ran forth

"You'll see soon!" raian yelled out excitedly

Petilil took on a smirk as she tilted her profile a tad sideways while shelmet ran forth. As the Pokémon reached she suddenly jumped forth in the air, performing a front flip over the bug. Shelmet turned around quickly to only be hit hard by petilil with an uppercut like headbutt. The blow took shelmet into the air slightly, suddenly Petilil shot forth an array of leaves with Razor leaf, they all struck directly and threw shelmet further into the air. Petilil did not allow this and quickly shot out roots into the bug and pulled him back hard into the ground throwing herself into the air, switching spots effectively. I the air Petilil struck a pose before spinning wildly letting out a shower of powder and leaves which cascaded over the field. Everyone watched wide eyed at the glistening spectacle, as Petilil came down she once again struck a pose before smashing hard onto shelmet, creating a shockwave which made a unique undulation through the field of leaves and powder, a neat ripple across the field.

"Dayum" Iian said with anger and awe

"Dayum" josue added on impressed

"Growlithe" Growlithe added taking a break from chewing on iians bag

"Le-vanny" Leavanny added nodding her head

"Da-yum" Burgh said with emphasis nodding his head

Raian smiled as Petilil struck a new pose atop shelmet, she shook a moment before regaining her balance

"Decent execution, but didn't nail that landing and final pose!" Raian yelled out as he pulled out a poffin

"Shelmet is unable to battle, petilil wins!" The referee yelled out holding a flag to Raian

"Awesome!" Josue yelled out clapping "Great battle raian!"

Iian stood scrunching his face with a mix of anger and jealousy

"There is no doubt, you're a pretty amazing trainer" Burgh said as he returned his shelmet "And that was some unique style, mixing a contests beauty and precision in with a battle was a clever move"

"Thanks" Raian said brushing off his hoodie "I try"

"Well I look forward to this next one," Burgh said pulling out another pokeball "Come on out Karrablast!"

Raian looked with curiosity as the pokeball unleashed a new creature he had yet to see. From the beam came forth a small blue beetle-like insect with a black extremities and a yellow padded stomach.

"Karrablast, non-feral, bug type, the clamping Pokémon" Iians pokedex buzzed as he and Josue huddled around it " When threatened Karrablast spit an acidic liquid to drive away its attacker, they are well known for specifically targeting shelmet"

"Woah, weird" Josue said looking wide eyed at the bug

"Alright petilil, you've done more than enough, you need a break" raian said happily

"Peti!" Petilil happily replied hopping to raians side

"Alright let's see" raian said reaching for his pokeball strap, he felt for a specific one but noticed it was gone, he quickly turned to Lucario who stood nonchalantly looking off with its hands behind his back "Well then, I was going to have glaceon come out, but I suppose it has been a while since prinplup got center stage"

Raian casually pulled forth a pokeball and tossed it spinning into the air while he gave a stern look to lucario. Out from the pokeball came forth raians prinplup, excited and ready for action.

"Let's do this!" raian yelled out excited

Four years ago

"Come on, I'm boOoOored" Josue moaned as he hung on a metal rail

"Just relax" Raian replied as he played on a small green handheld game system

"Why do we have to keep waiting?" josue asked as he slumped

"Because my brother is suppose to visit" raian replied

"Why is it that important?" Josue asked swinging back and forth

"Because I was thinking of going on an adventure soon, and I want to know if he can give any pointers" Raian replied

"Why do you need pointers?" Josue asked

"I guess I don't, contests have prepared me fairly well" Raian replied "But he's actually been out training for a while, I think he can help me choose were to go and what to do"

"You and your Pokémon are all super strong already" Josue replied "I don't see why you can't just go"

"It's just…" raian began "No matter who I battle they always look down on me for being a coordinator, no matter how badly I beat them they still act like it doesn't count or something. I just want a real powerful trainer to tell me that I can handle being a Pokémon trainer, prove everyone else wrong"

"Makes sense" Josue replied standing up 'But shouldn't you be using this time to practice instead of playing digimon?"

Present day

"Wow!" Burgh said with awe as the spray of bubbles glistened in the air

"Good ole 'icy marin'' Raian said crossing his arms and nodding

"Karrablast is unable to battle!" the referee yelled out "Prinplup wins and the match goes to raian the challenger!"

"Woo!" Josue yelled out clapping 'great job raian!"

"AughICantBelieveHeWonWithThatBloodyBirdAgain!" Iian said angrily as he clenched his teeth "OfAllTheStupidwaysToWinHedoesitWithABloodyBirdThatspitsbubbles!"

"You did fine karrablast' Burgh said as he walked up to his fallen comrade to return it "And you mister, you were more than I expected"

"Thanks" Raian said embarrassed and rubbing the back of his head as he threw Prinplup a poffin

"I mean, I expected something good from the brother of mica, but you surpassed that and then some" Burgh replied putting out his hand to shake "And you my little pal have earned more than the insect badge, you have earned my respect and admiration"

"AughCanYouBelieveIt,BurghIsSodamnAwesomeThatHeEvenSaysAwesomeStuffLikeThatToBloodyOleRaian!" Iian continued on in the background

"It was one of the greatest battles I've had" raian said shaking Burghs hand "And I really hope we can do it again sometime"

"As do I" Burgh replied "I also look forward to seeing you in the frontier, I know you can get there"

"I promise" raian happily replied

Now with all members of the group with their Insect Badges in hand they will soon set out on their way for their fourth badge in Nimbasa City.
