Hey readers! Arctic Fox here! OK...I said I was not going to upload for a while till I calmed down...Well I did already. Extreme boredom, LOTS of candy, kind people, A bit of Mountain Dew, and fighting countless orks is more than enough for me to calm down. In fact, I'm actually laughing as I write this. Well I promise this remake will be MUCH better than the original. Hope you enjoy this remake. Arctic Fox out. GUEST REVIEWS:

PokeKing: Don't worry :D Another one will be soon. Maybe after what I have planned after the Tournament.

Ryu's ball. 2 days till Finials

POV: Ryu

Ryu yawned and opened his eyes. Looking around, he was confused at where he was at for a second. He then realized that he was in his ball. He then became confused again. How did he get in here? The last thing he remembered was...oh yeah. Sighing when he remembered what happened, he floated to his normal height. He then went over to the dummies to practice a little. After fainted for the first time in battle, he was a little upset at his stamina. He had the dummies attack him while he stood/floated there allowing the attacks to hit. He had the ball not heal him unless he went unconscious. After getting hit by 3 Aura spheres, he was barely conscious. He had the ball heal him while he growled in annoyance. He should be able to take more than that. He kept this up for hours.

4 hours later

Ryu smiled at his new stamina. Now he could take 3 fire blasts, 2 Shadow Balls, 1 Dark Pulse, and 1 Hyper beam, at once, before he went unconscious. He nodded in approval at how his stamina increased. He knew that was as good as he needed it to be seeing how by that time, he would have easily beat someone...well maybe not easily but still. He could have someone beat by then. He called off the attacks so he could take a break before moving onto his power. That was when he noticed he had company.

"Hey girls and Shadow , what's up?" Ryu asked, as Winter, Fly, Ash, and Shadow watched him work on his stamina.

'Why...are...you...letting them hit you?' Winter asked, confusion clearly on her face. The others nodded in agreement. Ryu smiled.

'I'm working on my stamina. After fainting from a few attacks I thought that my stamina was TERRIBLE. So I'm making it so I can take more hits before fainting.' Ryu explained. The others nodded in understanding and they sat back down. They were only here to talk to Ryu because everyone was bored at the moment as they waited for the finials to begin in a couple of days. Ryu then focused back on the dummies. He then started to work on his speed so he could dodge attacks easier.

a hour later.

After being able to dodge almost all attacks except for the ones that ALWAYS hit. He floated over to his friends. He wondered why they were still here.

'How come you guys are still here?' Ryu asked. They looked at him.

'We just want to talk seeing how there really is nothing better to do.' Ryu laughed at that and nodded in agreement. He sat down at the table.

"I'm starting to be thankful for this table." Ryu thought to himself, chuckling. Shaking his head, he focused back to the group.

'So what do you guys want to talk about?' Ryu asked. They started talking about random things then.

'Well how do you guys think this finials thing is going to be? Even though I bet we will win, I'm curious about what we might fight.' Winter said, knowing the finials were a double battle.

'I more curious to what we will do after the tournament. I might ask Luna if we would do another round of the Gym Circuit. That would be fun.' Shadow said. Everyone nodded. A/N HINT HINT. I wonder what they will do after the Tournament? HINT HINT WINK WINK...*Cough* give me ideas*Cough*

'Or maybe another contest. That would be interesting. Maybe we could go to the Grand Festival.' Fly said. Everyone, but Ryu, nodded. Ryu did NOT want to do another contest. They were so BORING!

'Maybe not. Maybe we will relax and go back to her house for a while. I haven't seen where she lives yet.' Ryu said. They looked at him and grinned.

'The house is the coolest house in the history of houses.' Winter said, laughing.

'I wouldn't go that far...close...but not that far.' Shadow laughed.

'Hey Winter? How is you're brother?' Ash asked, saying something for the first time.

'Ryu?' Ryu looked up at hearing his name 'He is doing fine. He seems to have a crush on a shiny Eevee as well.' Winter said, noticing Ryu look up.

'I have a brother who is also named Ryu. Kinda funny seeing how Ryu is a not as popular as a name. You should meet him sometime.' Winter said. Ryu looked thoughtful for a second. He would like to meet this Ryu the Lucario. Maybe they could go see him soon. Shaking his head to come out of dreamland, he looked back at Winter.

'That would be entertaining for sure. We should go say "hi" some time.' Ryu said. They all smiled and agreed. It would be nice to see Ryu the Lucario again. They have not seen him in a while.

'What's her name?' Shadow asked, planning on teasing Ryu the Lucario for having a crush when he always made fun of him when he used to like someone.

'To tell you the truth, I don't know yet. I guess we will find out later.' Winter said. Shadow got a little upset for not being able to tease Ryu the Lucario completely without knowing the girls name.

'I wonder where we are at?' Ryu said, looking up. He noticed that they were in town and people kept pointing at her and whispering among themselves. Ryu laughed and went back to his friends.

'I don't know what you guys will be doing after the tournament but I will be catching up with Mike. Mike and I go way back, way before I become a Shadow Mew and he was the only human friend I had also don't ask, so we will get together to talk about what we did while we were gone. I'm curious to see how he entered the Tournament, plus where he got that Greninja. He didn't have a one or any of its lower evolution's when I last talked to him.' Ryu said. Their faces were one of shock when he said that Mike was the only human friend he had. They didn't want to go into his personal business so they didn't ask.

'O...K. I might ask Luna what we will do after the tournament.' Shadow said.

'I was going to spend time with Ryu but seeing how he is busy I guess I can go with you, Shadow.' Winter mumbled, sad at not being able to spend time with Ryu. Ryu looked a little sad too but knew she understood that he wanted to talk to Mike seeing how he hasn't seen him in years.

'OK guys, It looks like Luna is setting up camp. You guys should go back to your own balls so she can call us out.' Ryu said, looking up at the "sky". They nodded before going back to their own balls. Ryu looked up and let himself out. After the gold vision faded, he looked around. He saw that Luna had everyone out and they started their conversation up again. Ryu then saw Pika and Raichu playing around. He floated over there to watch. They saw him and waved. However, because Pika was watching him and not behind her, she didn't see a dead tree break. He started to fall over on top of Pika. His eyes widened and he took off toward Pika.

"LOOK OUT!" Ryu screamed. Pika looked where he was looking at paled. She was struck with fear so she couldn't move. Ryu saw that he wasn't going to make it. Picturing himself using Quick attack, he shot forward, leaving a white streak. Right when the tree was about to crush her, Ryu flew by, grabbed Pika, and flew past the tree, barely making it. Looking down at the shaking Pikachu, he looked at her concerned.

"Are you ok?" Ryu asked. Pika looked up at him and gave him a huge death hug. He grunted and smiled down at her as she started sobbing into his fur. By that time, the whole group arrived. Raichu was first as he was closest, followed by, in this order, Winter, Fly, Shadow, Ash, Luna then Zeena. They all looked worried at Pika.

"T-T-Thank y-y-you Ryu!" Pika sobbed into his fur. Ryu just smiled and tried to set her down. That didn't work. Pika never let him go from her death hug. Ryu smiled and sad down as Pika sobbed into him. After 10 minutes, everyone but Raichu, walked away and Pika stopped crying to look at him.

"T-Thank you...brother." Pika said. That surprised him. He then smiled and hugged her back.

"You're welcome, sister." Ryu mumbled into her ear.

ANNNNNNND There you go! I think this version is MUCH better than the original. What do you guys think? I planned on making Pika a sister to Ryu after I made Raichu a brother to him but I didn't know how. Well I found one that wasn't STUPID. ANYWHO Like I said in the Chapter, If you have any ideas for what Luna, Zeena, Ryu, and Pika should do after the Tournament let me know! I'm doing this for you guys after all. I want you all to be happy. Cause I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room with out a roof! Sorry...had to do it. STILL This is for you guys! Let me know! Arctic Fox OUT BRAH
