Eugene: FINALLY! I'M FREE FROM THE FREAKIN' TEST PRISON! XD Oops, sorry. ^^''' I just had like, 2 tests ON THE SAME DAY TODAY! XP Believe me, that's the reason why I wasn't around during the weekend; I had to study from Friday to Monday… and I got a couple headaches. -.- Anyway~ the Battle Brawlers are finally gonna show up! And I bet they're gonna meet Japan-kun~ ^.^ Plus, one of the brawlers will finally have his own P.O.V before Japan's show up.

Japan: Um, tell me, Eugene-chan, are any of them from my land?

Eugene: Most of them; I'll explain on this chappie. ONWARD WITH CHAPPIE 14!

Dan's P.O.V:

Hi there! ….ahaha! Oops, I mean konnichiwa! I'm Danma Kuso! XD Well actually, that's my real name but I also have an English name; it's Daniel. But whichever name you use, just call me Dan! Dan Kuso. Anyway, I'm a Pyrus brawler and earlier today (as it's Friday. September. 14, 2007), I just managed to win from an epic battle today (don't worry, as long as I come home for dinner, my mom will be happy)! Why? Because I'm totally cool and awesome that way! *does signature nose flick*

Anyways, I'm totally glad it's the weekend 'cuz I'm like, really tired from Ms. Purdy's ranting yesterday, if you know what I mean. XP I turned on my computer (hey, in Japan, everything's kinda hi-tech, isn't it?) and I directly went to the Bakugan site; .com. Apparently, that site was invented by the American admin, Joe Brown aka "Webmaster Joe" (he's our new "member" of the Battle Brawlers) and that guy who I don't know his name yet but I heard rumours that he was "the first brawler" who discovered the bakugan in the first place. And in our own country. As I was eating some Japanese-style pudding that I sneaked in from the fridge this morning (Hey! Pudding's my favourite food/dessert!), I checked my chatbox to see if my friends are around but there was an orange pouty face on each name, meaning that they're busy. Then I came across this profile…

Name of brawler: Kiku Honda.

City/Town of residence: Tokyo.

Country of residence: Japan.

Guardian/Partner bakugan: Ventus Takahinoid (nickname: "Takahi")

Current ranking: 11th place, very close to the Top 10.

Current HSP: 9990.

Last recent battle: Somewhere in downtown Tokyo at 5:00 PM; may come back sometime tomorrow.

Known fact: Was the first person in the world to discover the bakugan. First inventor of this site, bakugan rules, and other informational knowledge and gadgets.

Woah! That's him? Kiku is the first brawler? And he'll probably be in Tokyo tomorrow? Man, I gotta tell the others! Quick as a flash, I typed the following PM to the other brawlers:

Hey, ya won't believe this but just meet me in Tokyo tomorrow 'cuz we're gonna find a certain dude around here…

Smell ya l8r,

Dan :)

*sighs* Hopefully, they'll read it quick…

Japan's P.O.V:

"Ability card activate! Tornado Pandemonium!"

Ah, I must mention that today was Saturday. September. 15, 2007 and right now, a 14-year-old teenage boy named Hiro (he had a red streak in his black hair and he seemed to be wearing something similar to Inuyasha's red kimono with a green crossed belt) was challenging to a battle. He may not win, however, as I already had a move in plan.

"Takahi! Ability card activate! Quicksilver Silent Blade!" I yelled out as my ability card glowed green. Takahi raised his swords and swirled around in the tornado, slashing Hiro's Ventus Falconeer. Falconeer (in my view, Falconeer is known as "Raptor") cried out in pure agony before turning back into its ball form. Hiro went shocked before the battlefield disappeared and the streets of downtown Tokyo were back in place. He looked nervous at first before running to a different street, sweatdropping.

"Hey Kiku! That battle's so epic!"

I turned around, thinking that Hiro would've said.. whatever the person just said. But I was surprised that it wasn't from Hiro. That compliment came from a boy with short brown hair that was a bit spiky, green goggles, dark auburn eyes, and an open smile, laughing. I saw some other kids with the boy, also clapping at my performance (well, at least most of them). There were 2 boys, one with long, black hair tied in a sleek ponytail and narrow light brown eyes, and… that same 11-year-old boy from yesterday! The blue-eyed blond, spectacled one! Was he friends.. with them? Ah, anyway, there was also 3 girls with them. One of them looked like Hatsune Miku (in Western order, it's Miku Hatsune) from Vocaloid, with light blue hair and aqua-blue-green eyes, the second girl had silvery hair in a side ponytail as well as tanned skin, bubbly dark grey-blue eyes, and a big smile. The last one had long orange-red hair and brown eyes. They all were brawlers, as I noticed that they had bakugan, one person with each attribute, with them on their shoulders. I wonder how all of them, especially the brunette, know my name and where I am..?

"Um…. arigato?" I said, flustered a little. "Who are you guys?"

"Oh yeah! We gotta introduce ourselves!" The boy with the brown hair said before starting with, "Konnichiwa! I'm Dan Kuso!"

"Konnichiwa, My name's Marucho Marukura; I'm sure you have met my dad earlier yesterday." The blond boy, Marucho, introduced himself and explained.

"….hey, I'm Shun. Shun Kazami." The raven-haired boy also introduced himself. Somehow in his eyes, however, they seemed to have the look, "the evil eye"… no, I must be imagining things.

"Hello! I'm Runo Misaki!" The Miku-look-a-like eagerly announced.

"Hey~ I'm Julie Hayward! You look totally cute~" The silvery-haired girl cooed out, winking as a little heart came out for a brief period. From what I can tell, perhaps she is not Japanese like the first 4 brawlers, but possibly from America's homeland.

"Privyet, my name is Alice Gehabich." The red-haired girl introduced herself politely as she done a small bow. From her way of saying "hello", I think that she is also not from my land; she might from where Russia is, despite her soft American accent.

"Hai, it's nice to meet you all, too." I replied in politeness. I was about to ask "But how did you know I'm even brawling?" when Dan Kuso interrupted my train of thought.

"Hey, we're just wonderin', you know a lot about the bakugan and brawling, right? Can ya meet us again tomorrow so that you can supply us with your info? We'll need them for some things…. Oh! And we'll let you and your bakugan meet ours, if you wanna!"

I took a minute to think about Dan's request. He and his friends… want my advice? Surely, they would have much more wisdom about the bakugan than me… but since I am possibly the first one who discovered them in the first place, it would be rude to refuse so..

"Hai, of course. If you and your tomodachis (ah, that's Japanese for "friends") can keep your word by tomorrow, I shall tell you what I can remember… perhaps tomorrow at the park nearby?" I answered, deciding that I must accept the offer. Dan-san seemed a bit surprised at first, possibly because of my usual politeness, but he smiled again as he said, "Ok! Sounds good to me! We'll meet you tomorrow on the red dot! Hahaha! Smell ya later!" Then he ran off, his friends following Dan's direction. However, the raven-haired one, Shun Kazami, stopped at a moment to give me a cold stare before leaving… what could he possibly be thinking at this moment?

*Bakugan Notes: The Bakugan site and the Battle Brawlers*

The site, .com may be the possible URL of the bakugan site mentioned on the first season. In an obvious note, it is based on the real site, but without the chatrooms. Or the PMs (that's from .com).

Dan Kuso's real name, in the English version, is Daniel. That was most people known him as. But in Japan, his real name is actually Danma. His Japanese name, 空操 弾馬, means "The Soaring Knight with a Bullet", suggesting Dan's impulsive and valiant personality and that Dan and Drago were meant to be partners from the start.

Marucho's real name is Choji. His last name is Marukura so the nickname "Marucho" comes from his full name, Choji Marukura. Switch them to a certain order and you'll have Marucho.

Shun is the only one of the three main brawlers whose main name is not a nickname; Marucho's real name is Choji, and Dan's real name is Daniel (Danma in the Japanese version).

Shun's last name, Kazami, means "Wind Watching". Similarly, his first name in Japanese, 駿 (shun), means "Speed". His whole name, transliterated from Japanese, means "Wind Sees Speed".

Runo's name, "美咲 琉乃," means "Beautiful blossom like a gem". "美咲" means "beautiful gem", while "琉乃" is "Such as a gem".

In the English episodes, Julie's last name is Makimoto, which is possibly Japanese. But in Japan, her last name is actually Hayward. There were rumours saying that she's actually from Australia but since America has canyons similar to Bakugan Valley and not Australia, she may be actually American, living close to Las Vegas.

Alice's name may be based on the character Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. In Japanese, Alice is Arisu.
