Act 35: Let's Tenshin!
The Leviathan was anchored at Blue Point Isle with the group inside a building near the coastline.
"Welcome everyone to the Whirl islands. I suppose you're all here for the whirl cup?" The lady behind the counter said.
"Yes we are!" Kaoru said sounding excited.
"You need at least two water pokemon to compete."
Arkanes, Kaoru, Emily, Quinn and Alex each got their registration ids.
"The preliminaries will be held today at Inland city. The rest will take place tomorrow at Red rock isle."
"I'm part of the opening ceremony." Jasmine said.
"Ahh yes . Here's your id."
"This is so exciting." Quinn said.
"I'm glad to see you're excited to competed." Emily said.
As they walked out Arkanes noticed a young boy in the corner looking nervous.
Arkanes came over to him.
"Hey are you ok?"
The boy sighed.
"Yeah."
"Are you a pokemon trainer?"
He nodded.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm nervous, I want to enter the Whirl cup, but I don't think I can do it."
"What?"
"I'm not a good trainer, what's the point of even trying."
"Don't talk like that. What's your name?"
"Kyle."
"If you don't try then you know you won't succeed." Arkanes aid before helping him up.
"Go register right now."
Kyle got up and did just so.
Back on the Leviathan, Takeru and Jack were battling each other with Chiaki and Retsudo going against each other.
"Chiaki use Dragon claw!"
"Dragon tail!"
Rested smacked Chiaki down onto the deck.
"Come on Chiaki!"
Chiaki got up and flew up back into Retsudo, the two clashed again , Chiaki glowing and growling larger as he evolved into a Drake.
"Yes! Yes!" Jack shouted as the two clashed again.
After they stopped a kuroko came over to check on Takeru's shoulder.
"Is that getting any better?"
"A little, it will still be a while before I'm back."
"I can tell Kaoru the good news then."
"Careful where you say that, Hikoma is still taking it pretty badly."
Moments later the others returned to the ship.
"We're all registered and ready for the preliminaries." Alex said.
"I still remember competing. I went up against this girl from Kanto in the finals, she was tough but I managed to beat her."
"What was her name?" Jack asked.
"I don't remember, but I think she said she was the Cerulean city gym leader."
"We shouldn't stay here too long, the preliminaries are in an hour." Emily said.
"I agree, we should eat something then head out." Arkanes said.
While the group ate, Takeru sat beside Quinn.
"I didn't think you'd enter the whirl cup."
"Emily convinced me too."
"Well I'm glad she did. I think you're going to have a good time."
"You'll be rooting for me right?"
"No he's rooting for me." Kaoru said.
"You've got Jack rooting for you. I get Takeru."
"He's my Onii-Chan!"
"He's my boyfriend!"
"I hope they end up battling each other." Emily said smiling.
"Me too." Arkanes said returning the smile.
After lunch he group made their way to the preliminaries. The early rounds were being held at the docks near the ocean. The battlefields were in between the wooden docks with small platforms in between with the trainers standing on them.
"Alright please report to your designated battlefield." an overseer said.
"Looks like we're split up across the docks, we'll meet up after the battles." Arkanes said.
He made his way through the docks eventually finding his area when he noticed Kyle nervously awaiting his battle.
"Kyle."
"Arkanes."
"So you did come."
"I'm about to go up, I don't think I can."
Arkanes put his hands on Kyle's shoulder and guided him to the battlefield.
"Go, do your best."
Arkanes got onto his own battlefield and stood on his side.
"This battle will be a one on one, the winner will advance to the second round of the your pokemon." The ref said.
"Go Blastoise!" Arkanes shouted as the massive turtle came out and crashed into the water.
"Oise."
"Go Seaking!'
A Seaking came out and in front of Arkanes's opponent.
"Seaking use Supersonic!"
"Dive!"
Blastoise dove underwater as Seaking's Supersonic flew over him.
Moments later Blastoise came up and crashed into Seaking's stomach, hurling him into the air.
"Seaking use Megahorn!"
Seaking came down with his horn raised.
"Iron defense!"
Blastoise's shell turned metal as Seaking bounced off the shell.
"Hydro pump!"
Blastoise aimed his cannon and unleashed a blast of water into Seaking, sending him higher into the air.
"Skull back!"
Blastoise hurled himself up and crashed into Seaking, sending him tumbling into the water blow.
Seaking came belly up with swirly eyes.
"Seaking is unable to battle, the winer is Blastoise."
"Alright, nice win Blastoise." Arkanes said.
Elsewhere Emily had won her first round and was now at her second preliminary.
"Go Poliwhirl!" Her opponent said.
"Time to give you a try, go Golduck!" Golduck did a front flip as he came out and landed in the water.
"Begin."
"Poliwhirl use Mud shot!"
"Golduck use Confusion!"
Golduck's eyes glowed violet as he caught the mud in mid air.
"Body slam!"
Poliwhirl leapt up and at Golduck.
"Dive underwater."
Golduck swam underwater as Poliwhirl swam after him.
"Fury swipes!"
Golduck made a sharp turn and slashed Poliwhirl's face repeatedly.
"Zenn Headbutt!"
Poliwhirl flew up and into the air before landing on his back with swirly eyes.
"Poliwhirl is unable to battle."
"Yes! We did it, whirl cup here we come!"
"Duck!"
As Arkanes finished he saw Kyle come out of his match.
"Kyle, did you win?"
Kyle looked more optimistic.
"I did , I really did."
Arkanes put his hand on Kyle's shoulder .
"Looks like you're going to the Whirl cup too."
The group met up after the preliminaries.
"I made it in!" Quinn said sounding excited.
"Anyone not make it in?" Alex asked.
There was silence.
"Alright we're all in!" Alex said.
"Tomorrow we compete!" Emily said.
Elsewhere at Red rock Isle, a young man a little older than Takeru and a young woman the same age were looking out a balcony in a hotel room.
The young man had slightly tanned skin with short dark-brown hair in a modified buzzcut with brown eyes. The young woman beside him had light skin, long light blonde hair and green eyes.
In the hotel room was a large Charizard and a Type Null asleep.
"So Brendan didn't see any sign of Akomaru in Hoenn." The woman said.
"Lara found one of his men in Kalos." The man said.
"You think he might be here."
"I doubt he's in Alola."
"I suppose that's true." The young woman walked back inside and took her shirt off.
"I'm pretty tired Stephen, can we just go to bed." She said dropping her pants to the ground before getting under the covers.
Stephen felt his Charizard nudge him before he took off his shirt and pants before climbing in beside her.
The girl smiled and giggled as Stephen put his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
"Good night Sandra my love." He said.
The next morning the group arrived at Red rock isle. At the edge of the island was a large coliseum built in the water. With the tide lowered, the coliseum's lower section was now lower enough for two stone platforms to be above the water.
Takeru, Jack, and Hikoma were in the seats looking down at the trainers in wooden boats in the water.
"Guys!" They heard, turning to see a familiar face.
"Mako." Jack said.
"I almost missed it. Arkanes told me he was competing."
"He'll be so glad to see you." Takeru said.
Moments later at the top box a guard handed a woman a microphone.
The woman had dark brown eyes and long violet hair. She wore a blue dress and held a large staff with a massive blue sapphire stone on the top.
"Welcome one and all to the Whirl cup. My name is Maya the sea priestess, it is my honor and privilege to start oversee this years whirl cup. With the Sea Spirit I am able to speak with the wondrous water pokemon of the world."
"What is that?" Jack asked.
"According to legend Sea Spirit is an ancient artifact that was suppose to come from an ancient civilization called the people of the water." Takeru said.
"The people of the water?" Jack asked.
"It is suppose to be a lost civilization from Hoenn that supposedly lived in the ocean. The Sea spirit was suppose to let them talk to water pokemon." Jasmine said.
"We have a very special guest with us today. Johto and Kanto region champion, Stephen Rian!" Maya shouted as Takeru looked up. He saw Stephen beside a blonde young woman his age.
"Stephen's here." Takeru said in interest.
Down in the boats, Arkanes stood beside Kyle who looked very nervous.
"Hey, it's alright." He said putting his hand on Kyle's shoulder.
"You're going to do fine, no matter what happens so long as you try your best."
"Now for our opening ceremony performed by the water dancers."
Alex saw Jasmine with another girl and a young man in the center stage. Each wore a dress like swimwear.
Jasmine looked excited with Totodile and Dratini beside her.
The stadium shook as the boats were nearly flipped over from the waves.
"What's happening?" Jasmine asked in concern.
Kaoru's eyes widened as a monster burst out of the water. The monster seemed to be a shark esk Gedoshu wearing scaly armor.
Several rinshi rushed into the stadium as people cried out in terror.
"Gedoshu!" Takeru screamed as he reached for his brush before remembering.
"Right." He said.
"I've got this." Jack said as he rushed down.
Alex saw in horror the monster stand before Jasmine and the other performers.
"Go on, let's see your little water dance." Fang said.
Jasmine saw Fang approach her before she realized she had Jason's golden necklace as Fang snapped his jaws at her, she moved around him and shoved the necklace around his jaws.
Totodile and Dratini hit his legs making him snarl before the group of performers leapt into the water and swam to the nearest boat.
Kyle was now shaking and on the verge of crying.
"Stay here, everything's going to be alright." Arkanes said before Jack reached them..
"Let's go!" Kaoru shouted as they leapt onto the platform.
"Gedoshu how dare you interrupt the whirl cup!" Kaoru shouted as Fangs broke free of the necklace.
The six began to draw their characters before five were hit by something from behind.
Kaoru finished fortifying before seeing in horror her samurai were on the ground gasping for breath.
"Guys!"
Arkanes was in crippling pain but could still see.
He saw Kyle standing on the boat directly behind them with a sinister smile.
His eyes glowed red before he began to transform. Arkanes watched in horror as Kyle turned into a brass colored monster with metal string tied around in a not for an upper body, one end having an eye ball facing forward whole his left arm had the other end of the strong with teeth.
"Baron String!"
Takeru and Mako saw more foot soldiers enter the stadium, these figures wore black tuxidos and had black heads with white faces , no eyes, and pink lips. Each had a sword with a spade pommel.
Kaoru was now nervous as two monsters moved around her. She drew her katana and held it up over her head as they circled her.
Fang snarled as he came forward with his claws, slashing at Kaoru as she slashed them back with her katana. She dove to his side before catching his claws again, Kaoru drew a fire character and slashed a burst of fire into Fang who was forced back.
However, Baron String unleashed four metal tentacles around Kaoru's arms, snaring her as several bursts went across her body, Kaoru grunting in pain as Baron string forced her into Fang who slashed her twice.
Jasmine kicked a Rinshi back before picking up his bo staff and knocking two more away before smashing the head of one of the new foot soldiers.
Takeru used his good arm to pick up the fallen sword and slashed two rinshi and one of the new foot soldiers.
Kaoru was tossed to the ground as the two monsters approached her.
However, a burst of fire hit the two from above as fell to the sides.
Kaoru looked up to see Stephen Rian in front of her.
"You look like you could use some help."
"What?"
The two got up.
"You!" Baron String shouted.
Stephen smiled as he revealed two black devices on his wrists. He pulled a key from the right piece which stayed attached before placing it in the left and turning it.
"Go Aura changer!"
Kaoru's eyes widened as she saw armor form over him. The armor was red with a white chest and golden lines going down the center and waste. The armor seemed to have scales like a dragon and the helmet itself had a dragon esk design with a red visor and golden horn designs above them. The mouth and nose area was a try recuntagular shaped area as well.
"RyuuRanger! Heavily fire star!"
Maya saw as several of the rinshi and new foot soldiers surrounded her and her guards.
One came at her only to be kicked back by Sandra.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no manners." She said before revealing her own aura changers.
"Go Aura changer!" The white Kibaranger armor formed over her as she drew the Byakkoshinken.
"Howling new star, KibaRanger!" She shouted.
Hikoma, Takeru, and Jasmine saw this.
"Kiba ranger? RyuuRanger?"
Fang lunged forward only to have Stephen knock his claws away with two fast and precise strikes.
Baron String unleashed four metal string tentacles at Stephen only to have him draw a pair of sword and slash them away.
Fang tried to attack him from behind, but Kaoru got up and slashed his claws back before slashing his head and chest.
She stood back to back with Stephen.
"I assume there will be a drawn out explanation for this later?"
"Most likely." Stephen said.
"Awesome." Kaoru said before they two began attacking in synch.
Kaoru slashed away two of Baron string's tentacles as they flew at her while Stephen moved back and slashed Fang's claws back and then leapt over him before kicking him into Baron String.
The two recovered as Baron string thrusted his left arm string at Stephen who caught it and flipped himself, pulling Baron String into Kaoru who slashed him back.
Sandra slashed back the rinshi and new foot soldiers one by one as they tried to reach Maya.
However, two of the guards were slashed by large claws. Maya screaming before backing up.
Sandra got in front of her.
"Well, this is quite interesting."
"Who are you?"
"Call me Akumaro."
Akumaro took out a fan blade and slashed at Sandra with it as well as his claws.
Sandra kept them back with the Byakkoshinken as well as strikes with her off hand.
She managed to kick Akumaro back before he leapt up, soaring in the air as he waved his fan and unleashed three energy blasts into Sandra, forcing her back as Akumaro landed and snatched the sea spirit from Maya.
"Thank you." He said before Sandra slashed at him , Akumaro knocked the Byakkoshinken away before Sandra moved under his arm and slashed his chest twice. Akumaro grunted before he backed up and vanished.
"Are you ok?" Sandra asked Maya.
"The sea spirit , he took the sea spirit."
Kaoru drew a fire character as Stephen held his hands out.
"Ki-power! Blazing Destruction!"
Kaoru slashed a wave of fire as Stephen unleashed a jet of red fire. The two blasts of fire hit the monsters as Baron string pulled the pin on a grey bomb.
Hisan appeared on the top of the stadium playing her tune as the two monsters landed in the water.
Kaoru and Stephen saw an explosion in the water before Baron string and Fang grew massive.
"Oh shit, with the others down, Entei can't handle this alone."
Sandra leapt down beside Stephen.
"We've got this."
Stephen took out a small red orb before putting it in his sword and holding it up.
"Ki-beast summon!"
Sandra held up the Byakkoshinken.
The sky darkened as the audience looked up and heard a powerful roar.
Kaoru looked up in awe as she saw the legendary pokemon Rayquaza descend down. However, Rayquaza did not have green scales like most thought he did, instead he had red.
Rayquaza unleashed a hyper beam into the two monsters, forcing them back.
Rayquaza was joined by Solgaleo and Lunala, the two Alola legendaries forming together into Won Lion with Sandra leaping inside.
Stephen leapt up onto Rayquaza's head before he entered it. Rayquaza turned to metal as he roared again. Transforming into a humanoid with red armor and looking like an armored warrior of the old Byzantine empire.
The two guardians faced the two monsters.
"It's not just our legendary pokemon." Takeru said in amazement.
Baron string sprinted through the water at Rayquaza.
Rayquaza-warrior moved back before knocking Baron string's spear arm away and karate chopped his head twice, forcing Baron string back.
Fang slashed at Won Lion only to have his claws slashed back with its saber.
Fang snatched Won Lion's saber in his mouth and held it there before slashing Won Lion's chest twice.
Won Lion opened its chest mouth and unleashed three red blasts into Fang, forcing him back.
Rayquaza-warrior knocked away Baron String's arm again before kicking him back. Baron string thrusted his spear arm again but Rayquaza-warrior moved away from it and punched him back with two strikes.
Baron string grunted as he unleashed four metal string-tentacles around Rayquaza-warrior's arms, holding him in place as he was shocked with energy.
Baron string tossed Rayquaza-warrior around and into the water before he came up with a large black spear with a bronze tip and slashed the strings off.
Baron string stumbled backwards before Rayquaza-warrior stabbed the spear end into the water and flipped himself around on the handle, hitting Baron string with his feet five times before the monster crashed into the water.
Won Lion held its saber up before it glowed.
"Rising sun!"
Rayquaza-warrior's spear was set ablaze before the two stabbed their weapons into the monsters who surged before exploding.
The samurai regained their senses before they saw Rayquaza-warrior and Won Lion.
"Won Lion!" Alex shouted.
Elsewhere Akumaro laughed as he looked at the Sea Spirit.
"Everything went as planned."
"Planned! You got my man killed!" Hisan said in anger.
"You've been doing a good job with that on your own." His laughed as Hisan went quite.
"We barely collected any suffering."
"We won't need to anymore. Not with my plan."
"Care to elaborate on that?"
"All in due time. It requires many instruments, living and non living."
Hisan was confused before she saw a fire nearby.
She went over to it and saw the broken pieces of Uramasa on the ground in front of it.
Her eyes widened as she saw who sat near the fire.
"Juzo!"
Author's note
So I'm sure you guys have a few questions, please send them to me and I'll be more than happy to answer them without spoiling anything
On another note I have decided that since if I write another story after this one , it will not be a pokemon story, I cannot do any more pokemon, unless sun and moon makes a drastic turn around, like rome in the second punic war kind of turn around, then no, just no.
With that said, i have decided it will be a star wars fanfic, one that will mix swtor esk storylines with that of the old eu , mainly the new jedi order Yuuzan Vong war, but replacing the vong with another threat. I have made a prototype first chapter on my wattpadd account Fictionknight 2 if any of you are interested
So until next time,
Please review, comment, suggest, or ask(VIA PM)
