Chapter 50: Elite Clash! Kyoya vs. Rayzoni

Narration: After departing from Lacunosa Town, Golen and his friends have stopped at the Village Bridge.


Golen, Carly, Tom and Vlad all sat around in a hotel room, as they all decided to discuss recent events.

"So back during that time where we found you outside at the Reversal Mountains, you saw Rayzoni?" Golen queried to his companion. "Yeah, I had actually met him in the streets of Lentimas Town but it took me a while to recognize him. Afterwards I looked for him to see whether he was the same Rayzoni that you and I had seen in that picture we saw back during our raid on the Comet Tower." Vlad replied to the goggles wearing lad.

"But what happened to make you lose consciousness?" Carly inquired to the crimson-haired boy.

"I'm not exactly sure….But what I do remember is that right before I lost consciousness I discovered something I couldn't believe." Vlad answered. "What was it?" Tom inquired to his companion. "I discovered that, that Rayzoni formed an alliance with the Dogma trio." Vlad answered to the astonishment of Emolga and the others. "He's in an alliance with the Dogma trio!?" Golen exclaimed in disbelief. "I'm still not entirely sure, but those four were all standing together right before I lost consciousness and by the looks of it they weren't really going to attack each other either so the chances of them being aligned with one another are pretty high." Vlad answered to the black-haired trainer. "To think that our enemies would align together." Tom mumbled in shock. "Emolga." Emolga bitterly mumbled as it momentarily recalled its near defeat at Shelgon's hands back during Rayzoni and Golen's first battle.

"Though what do you think caused you to lose consciousness back then, Vlad?" Carly queried to the crimson-haired boy. "I'm not sure. I think it could have been Rayzoni that knocked me out." Vlad answered. "No." Golen declared as his companions looked at him. "Had it been him who found you there then you would have probably ended up in the same state as Kozu." Golen added along as he recalled seeing the coma-like state of the silver-haired lad back.

"How is it that he can do something like that?" Tom asked to the goggles wearing lad. "I'm not sure. That guy's still a mystery to me, even after all of this time." Golen answered to the former Gym Leader.

"Hey, do you guys have any idea where exactly that Rayzoni-bastard is?" Zorua queried to his companions as they walked through the bridge in the center of Village Bridge. "I'm not entire sure, but he should be close." Duke answered. "To think that a group like that pathetic Neo Phantom organization would force us into this kind of state." Nichole uttered in disbelief. "It's only a matter of time until the master finds out about this." Duke stated to his companions. "Yeah, though let's not worry about any of that. We've got to go find that Rayzoni to have a talk on what exactly we should do." Zorua stated to the ruby-haired man and the sapphire-haired woman while they continued to walk through the village.

"How exactly was your first meeting with that guy?" Vlad queried to his companion.

"…It happened back then when we were still in Corterra Town, right before we met you. Me and Carly were about to get crushed by some steel beams back then and right when I thought I was finished, time seemed to completely stop." Golen answered to Vlad. "Time stopped?" Carly uttered in shock. "How was he able to do such a thing?" Tom queried. "I don't completely remember it but he had a bunch of strange gadgets with him when we met so I guess he used one of those." Golen answered to the violet-haired trainer.

"Almost immediately he challenged me and Emolga to a battle before we could even think he then forced us into accepting it and right when we started the battle, he and his Pokémon completely pulverized us." Golen informed his companions. "But that was back when you were still a rookie, right? So surely that was just a fluke?" Carly queried, hoping that her companion was only exaggerating at the overwhelming force of the Pokémon Hunter. "No, he even took out Emolga with ease and no way would someone who dominated me as badly as he did have only been able to do that through a fluke. It still sends shivers up my spine whenever I think about how he was going to take us out with that Accel Move." Golen answered to the green-haired trainer.

"Accel Move?" Vlad uttered in confusion. "I recall the Dogma trio telling us about the Accel Power a long time ago. Is that power related to this Accel Move of his?" Tom asked to the goggles wearing trainer.

"I'm not sure. Even if I experienced it I'm still as clueless about it as anyone who hasn't heard about it would be." Golen replied. "Then how did you survive?" Carly asked to the lad. "I'm not sure, he just left back then without telling me anything besides his name." Golen replied. "I thought that I would have seen the last of him back then but then that Aster guy kidnapped you guys." Golen stated to his companions while Emolga silently looked on.

"He somehow had Accel Moves like Rayzoni did and right when we were on the edge of defeat; Emolga learned its own Accel Move and saved us from losing. You guys were there for the Comet Tower so there isn't much more to say considering that I haven't seen him since then." Golen added along.

"That Rayzoni, just what in the world is he?" Tom inquired to the goggles wearing lad.

"That guy…he's my destined opponent." Golen mumbled to himself as elsewhere in the moonlight night roamed Rayzoni, who for some reason was walking through a forest. "But now that I know that he and the Dogma trio are aligned with each other, I've decided." Golen declared. "Decided on what?" Vlad inquired.

"I'm going to form an alliance with Rayzoni!" Golen declared to the astonishment of Emolga and his companions. "A…are you crazy? You can't align yourself with someone like him!" Carly told her companion.


"Why would you believe that you could actually align with someone who has attempted on numerous occasions to murder you?" Tom inquired in disbelief at his companion's statement.

"The last time we met the Dogma trio we got to see that they weren't as bad as we thought they were so I'm sure that Rayzoni is the same way as they are!" Golen answered. "If we can align with Rayzoni then that means that we can make both him and the Dogma trio our allies." Golen stated to his companions as Emolga looked on. "Along with that, we can get Kozu and Fang to join us as well." Golen declared. "Golen be reasonable. Even if you were able to convince the Dogma trio and Rayzoni to align themselves with you, neither Kozu nor Kyoya would actually agree to work with them regardless of what you may say to them." Tom informed his companion.

"Yeah, Rayzoni hurt Kozu back then and Kyoya already hates the Dogma trio so your idea wouldn't work." Carly added along.

"I know it's foolish, but I just know that I could get them all to work together. I just think that if we get all of these guys on the same page than we can hopefully get past all of the senseless violence and we wouldn't have to go through as many conflicts if we could make those guys our allies. Besides Kozu isn't someone to blindly hold a grudge...but you guys might have a point on Fang." Golen muttered as he became unsure of himself while elsewhere Kyoya stood alone as he walked towards an unknown destination, still sporting the bandages that covered the entirety of his left arm.

"That guy, he wasn't even fazed a bit when Valen got hurt by that guy back then." Golen somberly muttered to himself.

Elsewhere Rayzoni arrived in front of a clear grassy field while he then walked through the field, seemingly looking for something. "So you've arrived at last…" a voice declared while Rayzoni looked behind himself. "…Pokémon Hunter, Rayzoni." Kyoya coldly declared while he sat up on a tree branch. "You're….Dogma's Pawn." Rayzoni stated in response while he and the dark blue-haired lad mutually glared at each other.

"I thought that Kyoya and I were finally able to get on the same page after we took out the Dogma trio together but he's been acting strange for a while now." Golen mumbled to his companions.

"Dogma's Pawn? That's what you are, you worthless scum." Kyoya declared as he rose up and stood on the tree branch while looking down on the Pokémon Hunter. "Quite frankly I expected this to be a trap but I see now that I've been lead to nothing more than a fool." Rayzoni declared. "I'm well aware that you're the one who's been behind those incidents where criminals ended up falling into comatose states." Kyoya informed to the dark cyan and red-haired lad.

"Now that I recall it, you're that cowardly fraud who shamed himself in the National's." Rayzoni stated in response.

"Enough talking, I'm going to crush you and move on to that boss of yours." Kyoya declared while he leaped off from the tree branch and flawlessly landed on the ground. "Now bring it on." Kyoya coldly uttered as he glared at the Hunter. "As if that's your purpose, you're clearly here to do nothing more than their dirty work. You're a fool who sealed their own fate." Rayzoni stated in response. "Electro, do it." Rayzoni muttered while a shockwave radiated across the air.

"What is this?" Kyoya muttered as he looked on in confusion. "You're too naïve to expect that…" Carly suddenly stopped as she, Tom and Vlad had seemingly stopped moving.

"C…Carly? Tom, Vlad?" Golen mumbled while he looked on at his companions. "Emolga, emoh!" Emolga shouted at its trainer. "Y…you're right. This has to be, Rayzoni!" Golen declared.

"I've made it so that no one interferes in our battle, now you're only chance of survival has been sealed off. That is unless you decide to flee like the coward that you are." Rayzoni declared to the dark blue-haired trainer. "I had no intention on hiding or running from you to begin with, you'll be nothing more than a stepping stone to me." Kyoya retorted. "Let's get this battle started already. This will be a 3-on-3 battle." Rayzoni declared to the stoic lad while from a distance Kozu was revealed to be looking on at the duo. "Pokémon Hunter Rayzoni, Kyoya Ryou." Kozu muttered to himself while he intently looked on.

"So Rayzoni is battling against that brat from the Corterra Museum." Duke expressed while he and his teammates looked on at the battle from a distance.

"What a fool, Rayzoni will wipe him out in an instant." Zorua expressed. "That weakling couldn't even truly defeat us in the past when we weren't even fighting seriously so he doesn't stand a chance." Nichole added along as the trio looked on knowing for a fact that their ally would mop the floor with the dark blue-haired lad. "Where could Rayzoni be?" Golen wondered as he and the Sky Squirrel Pokémon exited the town and looked around to try and find the Pokémon Hunter.

"Emoh." Emoh mumbled as it winced in pain. "Emolga, emoh, emoh!" Emolga shouted to its trainer while it pointed in the direction of Route 11.

"What? You can sense him?" Golen queried in shock as Emolga nodded its head. "Alright, I'll leave it to you then!" Golen declared while he followed after the Sky Squirrel Pokémon. "You're B's pawn, just like that guy from before." Kyoya thought to himself while he recalled his battle against the enigma. "After I crush you, I'll finish off that scum B once and for all." Kyoya thought to himself as he adapted a much more determined tone.

"That bastard A told me to battle against you, one of his pawns. Your fate was sealed when your idiotic superior decided to get in my way." Rayzoni thought to himself, with an unusually stern expression.

"How exactly will this battle turn out?" Kozu wondered to himself. "More importantly, why is it that I was informed to come to a place like this?" Kozu thought to himself as he recalled the note that he had read back when he returned to his guest room after his meeting with the Elite Four member Caitlin.


"Show yourself, Porygon!" Kyoya declared while he called out a Pokémon with a pink polyhedral body with a blue stomach, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes. "Porygon? You're got a pretty interesting Pokémon right there, but it hardly matters. Come on out, Lairon!" Rayzoni declared as he called out the Iron Armor Pokémon.

"Lairon against Porygon. Normally I'd say that it could go either way but in this case Rayzoni's the only possible winner." Zorua stated. "It's strange to see you praise him." Nichole stated to the Tricky Fox Pokémon. "It's not praise, that National's loser is just way too weak to even expect that he'd be able to pull off the win." Zorua retorted while elsewhere Kozu looked on. "Hurry, I've got to hurry up. Whoever Rayzoni is battling against is in danger." Golen thought to himself while he and Emolga ran through the route.

"Porygon, Thunder!" Kyoya commanded while the Virtual Pokémon fired a blast of yellow electricity from its body at the Iron Armor Pokémon. "Withstand it." Rayzoni coldly declared while Lairon stood in place and took the attack. "Why'd he take that attack?" Zorua wondered. "That guy, he seems different from last time." Kozu thought to himself while he looked on at the battle.

"You bastard, Porygon use Conversion!" Kyoya then declared while the Virtual Pokémon then focused a transmitter on Lairon. Its surface then glowed and turned similar to the Iron Armor Pokémon's surface.

"So you plan on mimicking us as a desperate attempt to latch on to your imaginary chances of winning? You're even more pitiful than I expected." Rayzoni rudely expressed to the dark blue-haired lad. "Rather than rambling on like a fool, why don't you go head and attack us." Kyoya declared in response. "Lairon use Bulldoze." Rayzoni stoically muttered. Lairon then leapt into the air and came crashing down onto the ground. The crash then created a shock wave on the ground which was sent towards the Virtual Pokémon. "Because of Conversion, Porygon has become a Steel/Rock-type and it will end up taking 4x the damage from that Bulldoze and while Conversion did give Porygon Lairon's typing it didn't do the same for its defensive capabilities." Kozu thought to himself while he looked on.

"That won't work, Porygon use Magnet Rise!" Kyoya quickly ordered while Porygon's body became surrounded in yellow and it rose up off of the ground, thus making it immune to Lairon's Bulldoze.

"He's not strong but his reflexes are certainly quick." Duke expressed to his teammates. "I see, so he used Conversion in the confidence that his opponent would attack using a super effective move and set up a counter to avoid that move to throw the opponent off guard while also making them easier targets for his next move." Kozu thought to himself while he looked on at the emotionless Rayzoni. "But that's completely useless when the opponent isn't even fazed by his move missing." the silver-haired trainer added along.

"You'll need more than such weak tactics to overwhelm me, you pathetic trainer." Rayzoni expressed to Kyoya. "Porygon use Signal Beam!" Kyoya ordered.

A light blue ball of energy then formed in front of Porygon's head. It then fired a rainbow colored beam from the ball at the Iron Armor Pokémon. "Endure it and use Rock Slide." Rayzoni muttered while Lairon's body glowed and multiple white rings of energy then appeared above Lairon's body high in the sky as large grey boulders then came out of the ripples of energy. "Dodge it!" Kyoya commanded to no avail as the boulders from Rock Slide fell down and rained over on the Virtual Pokémon. "What!?" Kyoya angrily muttered as his Pokémon was stuck in the boulders.

"Finish this, Superpower." Rayzoni coldly declared while the Iron Armor Pokémon's body became outlined in a light blue aura and it smashed its body against the boulders and Porygon, with the force of the move sending a shockwave across the battlefield. "Porygon." Kyoya muttered in annoyance at the sight of the Virtual Pokémon's defeat.

"That battle turned out exactly like I expected." Zorua mumbled. "That Pokémon Hunter's even stronger than he was before." Kozu thought to himself as he firmly grasped his own arm. "You're pretty powerful for a pawn." Kyoya admitted. "Bring out your next Pokémon, I'm going to make you suffer as much as possible until your inevitable defeat." Rayzoni ruthlessly declared. "Tch, I can't afford to lose this battle. I've got to take this guy out." Kyoya thought to himself as he firmly clenched the Pokéball that he held in his hand.

"Show yourself, Sharpedo!" Kyoya exclaimed while he called out the Brutal Pokémon. "Now he's shifted to a Water-type." Nichole stated. "As if type advantage would close the gap between them." Duke muttered in response.

"Go Sharpedo, Aqua Jet!" Kyoya shouted. The Brutal Pokémon's body then became surrounded by water and it shot itself like a rocket at the Iron Armor Pokémon. "Lairon." Lairon grumbled as it held its ground before being forced back due to the strength of Sharpedo's Aqua Jet. "Emoh, emoh!" Emolga pointed while it and its trainer rushed towards where it was pointing at. "*pant* I'm almost there!" Golen declared as he and Emolga ran right through the bushes and arrived to the location of the battlefield. "Rayzoni!" Golen thought to himself while he saw the dark cyan and red-haired trainer.

"But who's he battling?" Golen wondered while he then turned around. "T…that's….Kyoya!" Golen exclaimed in astonishment.

"Sharpedo use Hydro Pump!" Kyoya commanded while Sharpedo then released a powerful stream of water from its mouth, which then pelted Lairon, who still remained conscious despite being hit by the super effective attack. "Lairon, return." Rayzoni declared while he recalled the Iron Armor Pokémon. "How cowardly, you returned your Pokémon as soon as you realized it was going to lose." Kyoya stated while he taunted the Hunter. "I only recalled it because I have a much more suitable Pokémon to use to humiliate that Sharpedo of yours." Rayzoni retorted.


"Go, Arcanine!" Rayzoni shouted as he called out the Legendary Pokémon. "Arcanine….But why is he using it against a Water-type?" Golen wondered while Emolga looked on at the battle.

"Just like in his battle with me, he's attacking him on a physiological level. He's trying to completely destroy him not just physically but mentally as well." Kozu thought to himself as he realized what Rayzoni was trying to do. "Hey, you guys. Does Rayzoni seem different to you?" Duke inquired to his companions. "He's still a jerk but he's not as smug as he usually is." Nichole replied. "It's probably because of those Commanders that he's being so serious." Zorua added along.

"Sharpedo, strike them down with Night Slash!" Kyoya declared while the Brutal Pokémon charged at the Legendary Pokémon.

Both of Sharpedo's pectoral fins then began to glow a light purple color as it attempted to strike down Arcanine. "Intercept them with Fire Fang." Rayzoni stoically uttered as the Legendary Pokémon's mouth was encased in red-orange flames while it brutally bit down on Sharpedo's pectoral fin. "What!?" Kyoya muttered in shock as Arcanine slammed Sharpedo into the ground. "Arcanine, you can fight at your full power but don't finish them yet. Torture them until they suffer a humiliating death." Rayzoni violently ordered to his Arcanine while Sharpedo wailed in the background.

"We won't let you, Sharpedo bite their leg!" Kyoya commanded to the shock of Golen and the Dogma trio.

The Brutal Pokémon then viciously bit down on the leg of the Legendary Pokémon, who then wailed in pain before increasing the force of its own attack. "Do whatever you have to and win!" Kyoya shouted as the two Pokémon then let go of each other. "Sharpedo, Aqua Jet!" Kyoya yelled while the Brutal Pokémon charged at Arcanine. "Arcanine, ExtremeSpeed!" Rayzoni ordered in response. Arcanine then became surrounded by a white and clear aura while it charged into its opponent at an incredible speed. The force of the clash sent out a shockwave that could be felt across the battlefield.

"W…what kind of battle is this?" mumbled the disturbed Golen as Sharpedo was repelled by Arcanine. "Sharpedo, don't fall back! Go!" Kyoya shouted as the Brutal Pokémon charged at its opponent once more.

"ExtremeSpeed!" Rayzoni once again ordered while the Legendary Pokémon seemingly fled away from its adversary at an incredible speed. "Chase after it!" Kyoya demanded while Sharpedo did as he commanded. The two Pokémon repeatedly chased after each other with all of their might. "Arcanine use Outrage." Rayzoni suddenly commanded. The Legendary Pokémon then ceased its ExtremeSpeed attack as its eyes glowed red and its body was outlined in a red aura. It then proceeded to brutally pound on Sharpedo, who was pelted with a barrage of kicks, slashes and bites.

"Still even with that barrage, Sharpedo's ability Tough Skin should be chipping away at their health." Kyoya thought to himself. "Return, Sharpedo!" Kyoya declared while he recalled the Brutal Pokémon before it could faint.

Arcanine then let out a fierce roar as its roar sent out a fierce wind that pushed Kyoya back. "Bastard." Kyoya mumbled in anger. "You're only prolonging your suffering, if you really want a chance at winning then bring out your best Pokémon." Rayzoni declared to the dark blue-haired trainer. "I'll settle this once and for all, Pokémon Hunter!" Kyoya declared.

"Stop it!" a voice shouted as Golen intervened between the two trainers. "Golen." Kozu muttered, being mildly surprised by his rival's sudden appearance.

"Goggles Brat." Zorua mumbled as he and his teammates looked on. "Golen Ken." Rayzoni uttered as he glared at the lad while Kyoya indifferent looked on, seemingly ignoring Golen's presence all together. "Rayzoni, Fang, stop this nonsense!" Golen demanded of the two. "Golen Ken, why are you here?" Rayzoni queried to the goggles wearing lad. "Rayzoni, I know that you're aligned with the Dogma trio!" Golen declared to the Dogma trio's surprise. "Why would that matter to you?" Rayzoni queried in response.

"Because….I want to form an alliance with you!" Golen declared to everyone's astonishment. "Why would I form an alliance with a worthless trainer like you?" Rayzoni asked in response.

"Because…." "Shut up!" Kyoya declared as Golen looked back at him. "Get out of the way, you're a nuisance." Kyoya declared to the goggles wearing lad. "Kyoya…You two shouldn't be fighting each other!" Golen declared to the duo. "All of us and Kozu too, we should be working together. We're not each other's enemies, so we shouldn't be wasting our time by senselessly fighting with each other!" Golen declared to the group. "You're a fool to the bitter end, Goggles Brat." Duke muttered while his teammates agreed with him.

"Golen, you're too kind for your own good." Kozu solemnly thought to himself.

"Show yourself, Dewott!" Kyoya declared as he called out the Discipline Pokémon while ignoring Golen. "Kyoya!" Golen shouted in disappointment while Emolga looked on, seemingly expecting him not to cooperate. "Return, Arcanine." Rayzoni declared. "If you're fighting with your ace, then now it's time for you to suffer the ultimate humiliation. Emerge, the strongest dragon, Shelgon!" Rayzoni declared as he called out the Endurance Pokémon, who fiercely roared after emerging.

"Now, let's settle this." Kyoya hatefully uttered. "Stop it! We have no reason to fight against each other like this!" Golen shouted.

"Emolga, emoh, emoh!" Emolga shouted at its trainer, seemingly criticizing him for his naivety. "Emolga…" Golen mumbled in shock. "Grr, Stop it, Kyoya!" Golen shouted while he ran up to the dark blue-haired lad and grabbed him by his collar. "Alder and Benga, they wouldn't want to see you acting like this." Golen declared before being pushed aside by the serious lad. "Dewott use Ice Beam!" Kyoya quickly declared. The Discipline Pokémon then opened its mouth as a light blue ball formed in front of it. It then fired the light blue beams from the ball at the Endurance Pokémon.

"Withstand it." Rayzoni declared to his Shelgon, who stood in place and took the super effective move head-on.


"He withstood it?" Golen uttered in shock. "Stop messing with us, Scald!" Kyoya shouted while an orb of scalding hot water appeared in front of Dewott's mouth. It then unleashed a stream of scalding hot water surrounded by steam from its mouth at Shelgon. "Shelgon use Flamethrower." Rayzoni declared while the Endurance Pokémon the unleashed a stream of red-orange flames, which then proceeded to overwhelm Dewott's Scald and then struck the Discipline Pokémon. "Dewott!" Golen shouted in concern.

"Shake that off! Razor Shell!" Kyoya angrily yelled.

Dewott crossed its arms in front of its chest and grabbed the two scalchops on its legs. When it grabbed the scalchops, they both then started to glow yellow and a light blue aura appeared around them. The aura then stretched and hardened, forming into two curved blades of energy. It then charged towards its opponent. "That guy, this battle is chipping away at his sanity. It won't be long until he's completely lost it." Kozu expressed as he observed Kyoya's more unhinged and violent attitude.

"I'll crush you and then I'll crush those worthless Commanders, Shelgon use Dragon Claw!" Rayzoni declared in response.

Shelgon then charged at the Discipline Pokémon as its claw was covered in an aqua green blue aura before it clashed with Dewott's Razor Shell. The two Pokémon momentarily collided with each other as Shelgon began to gain the upper hand. "Tch, Fall back and use Scald!" Kyoya ordered as the Discipline Pokémon ceased its clash with the Endurance Pokémon and prepared another attack.

"Accel Move, Draco Destructive Stream!" Rayzoni explosively declared to Kozu, Emolga and the Dogma trio's astonishment.

The Endurance Pokémon then began to glow an aqua light blue color as it was covered in an orb of energy. It then unleashed a powerful aqua light blue colored beam from the orb at the Discipline Pokémon. "W…what is that?!" Kyoya asked in completely disbelief. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Golen urgently shouted at Kyoya and Dewott, to no avail. The Discipline Pokémon was then struck by the powerful attack as an bright orb formed around the area before dispersing as Dewott and Kyoya were sent flying by an overwhelming force. Dewott was smashed into the ground while Kyoya crashed right into a thick tree, leaving a large crack in it that then caused the tree to collapse moments later. "Fang!" Golen called out to the dark blue-haired lad, who was covered in wounds. "Kyoya, are you alright?" Golen queried as he ran up to the lad.

"MOVE!" Kyoya shouted in a rage as he violently pushed Golen out of the way.

"How much longer, how much longer do you all plan on making a fool out of me?" Kyoya desperately thought to himself in an intense rage as images of Alder, Benga, B, Rayzoni and Golen passed through his mind, with each passing image chipping away even more of his usual calm and cool demeanor. "I'll absolutely…kill…YOU!" Kyoya declared while Dewott suddenly emerged from the ground and leaped into the sky. " Dewott use Razor Shell!" Kyoya ruthlessly commanded as the Discipline Pokémon dashed towards its opponent, despite its injuries.

"How did he survive an Accel Move?" Duke wondered as he and his teammates looked on in astonishment at Kyoya and Dewott's state.

"That's more like it, Shelgon use Dragon Claw!" Rayzoni coldly commanded wildly the Endurance Pokémon charged at Dewott. The two Pokémon the clashed repeatedly as Dewott's unorthodox movements managed to land in a few hits on the Endurance Pokémon. "How dare you look down on me…You let me survive that move on purpose!" Kyoya angrily yelled. "Yeah, your humiliation and torturing is something that I'm going to prolong until I've destroyed your very being. I'll make you suffer the agony of pain and death and when I'm finished I'm going to wipe out those troublesome Commanders once and for all." Rayzoni declared to the dark blue-haired trainer.

"Commanders, what is he talking about?" Golen thought to himself. "Emolga." Emolga muttered.

"That guy's even more ruthless than he was before. If this keeps up then that Dewott and its trainer are going to die….but you're not going to let that happen, Golen." Kozu thought to himself as he anticipated the goggles wearing trainer's next movement. "Dewott!" Dewott wailed after it fell to the floor. "Get up! It doesn't matter if you destroy your own body! Just win this battle!" Kyoya demanded to the Discipline Pokémon. "B….I'll wipe you out no matter what." Kyoya angrily declared as his fate filled eyes imagined Rayzoni as the maroon-haired man, causing his already unhinged attitude to become even worse.

"A, you're finished." Rayzoni stoically muttered while his ruthless eyes saw Kyoya as the Persian blue-haired man and completely disregarded Kyoya's existence in general.

"What's up with those two?" Nichole uttered at the sight of their battle. "This isn't a Pokémon battle anymore, it's a war." Duke declared to his teammates. "Those damn Commanders effected him even more than I expected." the Tricky Fox Pokémon stated in response to the ruby-haired man's statement in observance on the dark cyan and red-haired Hunter's attitude. "They've completely lost whatever sense or self-control they had in this battle. It's not about winning or losing anymore, it's just about survival." Kozu declared at the sight of the brutal battle.

"Stop it….You're not Pokémon Trainers!" Golen declared. "What point is there in fighting like this!? You're only hurting your Pokémon over your ridiculous hatred!" Golen shouted at the duo, who ignored him in response. "Emolga." Emolga muttered while it looked at its trainer."This isn't what being a Pokémon trainer is about…..STOP IT!" Golen pleaded to the two trainers.

"Dewott, destroy them, wipe them out with everything you've got!" Kyoya violently declared. "Shelgon, they've lost all right they had to live, finish this." Rayzoni ruthlessly ordered to the Endurance Pokémon.

"This battle…." Golen mumbled to himself as he remembered the bombing of Lacunosa Town and pain of seeing his companions suffer. "STOP IT!" Golen demanded with rage filled eyes as Dewott and Shelgon dashed towards one another once more. "Emoh!" Emolga shouted while its goggles wearing trainer ran towards the two Pokémon. "I'm not going to let you do this anymore!" Golen declared. "Golen!" Kozu exclaimed in shock as he and the Dogma trio looked on.

Suddenly before anything could happen, a large explosion engulfed the battlefield. "What?!" Rayzoni and Kyoya both exclaimed while they and their Pokémon were caught up in the explosion and sent flying.


"GAH!" the two lads both wailed in pain. "W…what just happened?" Golen uttered in astonishment as he noticed that Rayzoni, Kyoya, Shelgon and Dewott were all lying on the floor.

"Rayzoni!" Zorua shouted in shock. "What in the world was that?" Nichole wondered in astonishment. "What could have caused an explosion of that caliber so easily?" Duke muttered. "What was that?" Kozu thought to himself. "It had to be…" "An ambush?" a voice declared to Kozu's astonishment. The silver-haired lad then turned around as he noticed that someone had appeared behind of him. "As I expected….*cough*" Rayzoni thought to himself as he struggled to stand up. "W…who did that?" Kyoya wondered while he lied on the floor in pain.

"Emolga, what happened?" Golen queried to the speechless Sky Squirrel Pokémon as another explosion occurred.

"What!?" Golen exclaimed in shock as he looked over in the direction of the blast and noticed that Kozu had suddenly appeared. "W…what was that?" Kozu wondered while he was shown standing with his Combusken, both having gotten injured from the assault while Kozu's right sleeve was slightly tattered as a result as well. "Kozu!" Golen called out to the silver-haired trainer. "Why is he here?" Rayzoni wondered as he and Shelgon looked on.

"Your reflexes are as impressive as ever…Kozu." a voice declared while before them appeared a man in a golden yellow hoodie. "Who are you?" Kozu queried to the man. "That's right, you probably couldn't recognize me with this on." the man declared as he removed his hoodie and showed his true face much to the silver-haired lad's astonishment. He wore a golden yellow jacket with dark gray outlines and underneath it he wore a gray shirt with silver colored trimmings. The man sported white pants with a black and silver belt along with golden yellow, dark gray and silver colored boots. "It…it's you!?" Kozu exclaimed in absolute disbelief.

"B…B!" Kyoya exclaimed in anger at the man's appearance. "You're not very bright, are you?" the man stoically inquired to the injured dark blue-haired trainer.

"Well of course not…" a voice declared to the astonishment of Golen and the others. "After all he is Kyoya." B snickered as he also appeared before the quartet. "C and B." Rayzoni muttered in anger. "W…who are these guys?" Golen wondered in confusion while he and Emolga obliviously looked on. "C…why are you here?" Kozu queried to the golden yellow-haired man, seemingly knowing who he was. "It can't be." Duke muttered in shock. "If you two are here then….A, show yourself!" Rayzoni demanded as he then rose up to his feet.

"You're in no shape to be demanding anything, Rayzoni." A declared while he then appeared behind of the dark cyan and red-haired trainer. He wore a medium collared navy blue jacket with white outlines. Underneath it he wore a dark gray shirt with black trimmings. He also sported a raven, dark blue and gray colored belt with black pants and navy blue, dark blue and white boots. "You bastards, why are you here!?" Rayzoni furiously queried to the Team Dogma Commander. "As if it wasn't obvious enough already." A replied, not even answering any of the Pokémon Hunter's questions.

"A, B, C? Just what in the world is going on you guys!?" Golen queried to Rayzoni, Kozu and Kyoya. "Well it looks like we're the odd ones out." a voice declared.

"Emolga!" Emolga angrily exclaimed at the sight of the dark gray turban with green goggles wearing enigma. "You! You're the one from before!" Golen shouted in anger while the lad removed his turban and goggles. "You're...You're the guy from the PWT!" Golen declared as he then recognized D's face. "It's been a while and congratulations on your victory in the PWT by the way." D jocularly expressed to the enraged black-haired trainer.

"Let's battle. We'll have a one-on-one, just like we always did in the past." C declared to the silver-haired lad. "Seeing as you went along with our plan so flawlessly, how about I reword you with a one-on-one battle?" B sadistically snickered at the injured dark blue-haired boy. "We will have a 2-on-2 battle. After all, you have wanted to take care of us ever since we returned so now is your chance." A declared to the cyan and red-haired Hunter. "Well I have no reason to battle you but what the heck? Let's have a one-on-one battle." D casually queried to the black-haired boy.

"…Fine." Kozu hesitantly declared. "Bring it on!" Kyoya angrily shouted. "I'll crush you no matter what." Rayzoni hatefully expressed to the man. "Let's go!" Golen shouted in response.

"Four different battles at once?" Duke uttered in astonishment. "Those Commanders…just what in the world are they aiming at?" Zorua wondered in bewilderment. "Those four are in trouble." Nichole expressed as she and her teammates looked on at the upcoming battles. "Come on out, Garbodor!" Golen declared while he called out the Trash Heap Pokémon. "Soar, Eelektrik!" Kozu declared while he called out the EleFish Pokémon. "Show yourself, Grovyle!" Kyoya shouted as he called out the Wood Gecko Pokémon. "Go, Gyarados!" Rayzoni exclaimed as he then called out the Atrocious Pokémon.

"Please assist me, Golem!" D declared.

He called out a turtle-like bipedal Pokémon with plated, green rocks as its shell. It had a head protruding out of the center of the shell, short arms that had three claws, and two legs with five-clawed feet that had four claws in front and one in back. It had red eyes and a flat snout with two pointed teeth in its lower jaw. "Descend, Gliscor!" C exclaimed as he called out the Fang Scorp Pokémon. "The real show begins, Sableye!" B sneered as he tossed out a Pokéball and from it emerged a bipedal Pokémon with a dark purple body.

It had pale blue, gemstone-like eyes, which allowed it to see in low light and sparkle in the dark. It also had a red gemstone on its chest and its back had two blue gems and another red one. It also had sharp teeth and claws. "Time to get this battle started." A declared, seemingly not even calling anyone out. "Bastard, aren't you going to call anything out?" Rayzoni queried to the Persian blue-haired man in annoyance.

"If you had honed your senses and followed the advice I gave you in the past than you would have noticed it by now." A declared to the cyan and red-haired man.

"Golem, huh?" Golen mumbled as he opted to pull out his Pokédex before rejecting it due to the seriousness of the situation. "Grovyle use Quick Attack!" Kyoya commanded while the Wood Gecko Pokémon was covered in a white outline while it charged head first into the dust cloud at a high speed, leaving behind silver trails from its sheer speed.


"You idiot, Sableye is immune to Normal-type moves." B smirked as the Wood Gecko Pokémon passed right through the Darkness Pokémon. "I wasn't aiming at Sableye." Kyoya declared to B's surprise as he noticed that the Wood Gecko Pokémon was charging straight at him rather than his Pokémon. "As if you would actually do it, Sableye use Zen Headbutt!" B commanded while the top part of Sableye's head glowed blue and its head became surrounded by a see-through reflective shield. It then shot at the Wood Gecko Pokémon like a missile.

"Leaf Blade!" Kyoya quickly ordered as Grovyle turned around while the three leaves on both of Grovyle's forearms glowed light green and combine into one long sharp blade and it collided with Sableye.

"Garbodor use Sludge Wave!" Golen commanded while a big wave of dark purple sludge formed around Garbodor. The sludge was then hurled at the Megaton Pokémon.

"Too easy, Golem use Steamroller!" D commanded while Golem withdrew its head, legs and arms within its shell. It then jumped into the air and spun its body rapidly. Then, its outlines started to glow white as it deflected the Sludge Wave. "No way." Golen mumbled in shock. "You were always better than me in the past but that's changed, Gliscor use Sky Uppercut!" C quickly ordered while the Fang Scorp Pokémon glided towards Eelektrik. Both of its claws glowed light blue and it prepared to strike the EleFish Pokémon. "Eelektrik, avoid it and use Acrobatics!" Kozu ordered in response as the EleFish Pokémon managed to narrowly avoid the attack before it glided around the battlefield at top speed and dived down at the opponent. As it flew through the air, it moved so fast that it seemed to leave behind two afterimages. It then dove down at the Fang Scorp Pokémon.

"Your perception has weakened over the years, X-Scissor!" C commanded while Gliscor's claws glowed light blue, and it swiped them in an 'X' formation, creating a light blue 'X' in front of it and tackling the EleFish Pokémon. "Eelektrik!" Kozu called out to his Pokémon.

"Come! Battle me!" Rayzoni demanded to the Persian blue-haired man, who simply stared at him in response.

"What's wrong with that guy?" Nichole queried in confusion. "That guy….he's not even taking Rayzoni seriously." Zorua uttered in annoyance. "Are these guys really as powerful as Rayzoni said they were?" Duke wondered while the trio looked on, opting to not interfere despite their alliance with Rayzoni. "Grov!" Grovye wailed as it was forced back by Sableye. "Oh come on Kyoya, aren't you going to show you me that amazing power of yours? Oh right, that power only exists in your imagination. In reality you're a pitiful failure." B mockingly declared, seemingly trying to goad the dark blue-haired trainer into making a mistake.

"Grovyle use DragonBreath!" Kyoya ordered while the Wood Gecko Pokémon's eyes glowed red as it fired a transparent beam of energy with white rings around it from its mouth at the Darkness Pokémon.

"Shadow Claw." B nonchalantly ordered while one of Sableye's hands became surrounded by a black aura with a purple outline. The aura then took the form of a claw and it slashed away the Wood Gecko Pokémon's attack much to Kyoya's chagrin.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to see you again." Kozu uttered to the golden yellow-haired man. "You always were naïve and that's why you've become weak." C declared to the silver-haired trainer.

"W…what is this guy? He's on a whole other league compared to when he fought Kyoya." Golen mumbled in astonishment while Emolga looked on in concern for the goggles wearing lad.

"I've had enough! Gyarados use Scald!" Rayzoni recklessly commanded while the Atrocious Pokémon wildly shot out a stream of scalding hot water surrounded by steam from its mouth, all over the arena while it attempted to track down A's Pokémon. "Grovyle, don't fall back and use Leaf Blade!" Kyoya angrily commanded at the Wood Gecko Pokémon, who charged at its opponent once more. "Avoid it." B ordered as Sableye easily dodged Grovyle's attacks. "What am I supposed to do? This guy….he's just too strong for me." Kozu thought to himself as he began to lose confidence in his ability to win.

"You really are a disgrace." C declared to the silver-haired trainer.

"I'm not going to lose. I'll never lose to someone like you!" Golen declared while Emolga looked on at the battle. "That's some nice determination you've got but it's a shame, since you've already lost." D declared to the goggles wearing trainer's astonishment. "We're still in this, Garbodor use Drain Punch!" Golen commanded to the Trash Heap Pokémon's fist became surrounded in a green orb of energy while it dashed towards the Megaton Pokémon.


"It's over, Golem use Gyro Ball!" D declared as Golem withdrew its head, arms and legs into its shell and began to spin around. It then began to emit a light blue aura as it charged right at Garbodor and collided with it.

"Normally it could have been a much better matchup, but considering that your Garbodor activated its ability Weak Armor and raised its speed while at the same time decreasing its defense and the fact that Gyro Ball increases in strength when the attacking Pokémon is slower than its opponent, you've lost." D declared while a powerful explosion occurred that sent both the Trash Heap Pokémon and Golen flying. "GAH!" Golen wailed a he was overcome with a strong sensation before falling to the ground. "Emoh!" Emolga exclaimed in astonishment.

"I'm not finished with you yet, B!" Kyoya declared. "Unfortunately for you, I am finished with you. Sableye wrap this up with Dark Pulse!" B commanded while the Darkness Pokémon then put its hands together and created a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles which appeared inside it. It then fired a beam of black and purple circles from the orb at the Wood Gecko Pokémon. "Grovyle, DragonBreath!" Kyoya ordered to no avail as the Wood Gecko Pokémon was struck down by the attack, which caused an explosion which sent Kyoya flying. "GAH!" Kyoya exclaimed as he was overcome with a strong pain before falling to the floor.

"Kozu, you have already lost." C declared to the lad. "Why….why is it that you show yourself to me now?" Kozu asked to the golden yellow-haired man.

"Gliscor, end this with Guillotine!" C commanded while one of Gliscor's claws glowed light blue and it grabbed the EleFish Pokémon's neck and proceeded to slam it into the ground, with the force of the attack creating a large crater with the impact proceeding to knock Kozu back. "W….what's this pain I'm feeling?" Kozu thought to himself as he clenched himself after he fell to the floor. "They defeated those three with ease." Duke uttered while he and his companions looked on.

"A, fight me!" Rayzoni declared in a rage. "You and your idiotic brothers have interfered with me for the last time!" Rayzoni declared to the Persian blue-haired man.

"Now fight me, you coward!" Rayzoni demanded of the man. "Blizzard." A calmly commanded as a red orb flashed in the ground as a powerful blizzard appeared from below Gyarados. "Gyarados!" Rayzoni exclaimed in astonishment as the Atrocious Pokémon was almost instantly frozen by the powerful attack which seemed to have come out of nowhere. "I…impossible…AH!" Rayzoni shouted as he was sent flying. "GAH!" Rayzoni wailed after having hit the floor. "That's not possible….my Gyarados would never *cough* lose so easily." uttered the injured Rayzoni. "You brought this upon yourself." A declared to the fallen cyan and red-haired trainer.

"Hehehe, of course he did. Had you followed our commands rather than trying to be a rebel than you could have been spared this agony." B stated as recalled his Sableye while D and C also called back their respective Pokémon. "Why….would you do this to me?" Rayzoni inquired.

"You needed to know your role. A parasite like you attempting to advance past his lowly position needed this just to remember why exactly you could never advance past where you currently are, because you're weaker than we are." A declared. "Then why did you lure those other fools here?" Rayzoni inquired. "B and C insisted on luring those other two here to carry out their own personal vendettas but in the end it hardly matters since we already accomplished what we had to do." A answered to the fallen lad. "You're in quite the position, you can either go out of your way to tell Jin about our actions while at the same time revealing yourself to have gone behind his back or you could simply follow our orders and get over that insufferable ego of yours." A stated to Rayzoni.

"But knowing you, you'd pick an alternative." A declared while he began to walk away from his fallen adversary. "Wait! We're not done yet….Battle….Finish our battle!" Rayzoni demanded to the lad.

"There's no need." A answered. "Why….why…are you sparing me!?" Rayzoni furiously called out to the Team Dogma Commander, who stopped in his tracks. "Simply knocking out all of your Pokémon would have been far too easy on you, knowing that you would have lost a battle and proceeding to be spared by an opponent you despise as much as you despise me is the most humiliating defeat that someone like you could possibly suffer." A tauntingly replied as he gave a cold glare to the fallen cyan and red-haired Hunter before departing with his fellow commanders while Emolga attempted to awaken its fallen trainer, to no avail.

"A…." Rayzoni mumbled while he proceeded to lose consciousness.

"To think that they're really that powerful." Nichole mumbled in astonishment. "It's a pain but if we really do stick through this alliance with Rayzoni then we'll have to face off against them one day." Duke stated to his teammates. "Damn it, to think that we're so out of our league." the Tricky Fox Pokémon angrily uttered to itself. "Don't get too irritated at what just happened, this is only the beginning. When the time comes we'll stop those four." Duke declared to Zorua as the trio departed from the scene.

"W…what happened?" Rayzoni mumbled while he regained consciousness at the same time as Golen, Kyoya and Kozu. "You…bastards." Rayzoni muttered while he recalled his Pokémon.

"Damn it, he got away." Kyoya thought to himself as he cursed his own incompetence. "C." Kozu dolefully mumbled to himself. "You guys…we've got to team up against those four!" Golen declared to the trio. "Even if we all hate each other, in the end that hatred is nothing when those four are our real enemies! I'll even take all of that anger of yours if it means working together!" Golen declared to the trio as Kyoya began to walk away.

"Kyoya!" Golen called out to the dark blue-haired lad. "I've already told you once! We aren't allies and there's nothing connecting the two of us, so just stay away from me!" Kyoya lashed out at the goggles wearing lad.

"A fool like you who doesn't know the first thing about suffering shouldn't even be asking to take on the burdens of others." Kyoya declared while he left the area as Rayzoni prepared his jetpack-like device. "Rayzoni!" Golen called out to the Hunter. "You're no different to me than those four are. You're simply my prey, I would never lower myself to working with someone as below me as you and your lowly friends are. Just be relieved that I don't eradicate you where you stand." Rayzoni declared as he flew away from the location.

"….Kozu?" Golen called out to the silver-haired lad. "What use would a failure like me be to you?" Kozu asked to the lad.

"I've already done nothing more than get in your way, so I'm sorry but I'm rejecting your offer." Kozu somberly told his rival. "But Kozu…" Golen muttered in dismay while the silver-haired lad proceeded to leave the area as he could do nothing more than look on in complete shock, having to come to terms with his failure at convincing the others to join with him.

"Emolga." Emolga mumbled while it looked at its injured lad solemnly limp back to the Pokémon Center.


Narration: Absolute defeat, the Commanders of Dogma have not only bested Golen and the others but they have managed to tear away whatever hopes of an alliance that remained among the distinct group of trainers. What awaits Golen now that he has not only uncovered the faces of his true enemies but has also lost the opportunity to carry out with any of his suggested alliances?

Major Events (11/12/13): Vlad reveals to Golen, Carly and Tom that Rayzoni and the Dogma trio are aligned with each other while Golen informs his companions more about the events that he had experienced in their absence.

Carly, Tom and Vlad learn about Accel Moves.

Golen decides to form an alliance with Kyoya, Rayzoni, Kozu and the Dogma trio but fails.

Kyoya meets Rayzoni and Kozu for the first time, Kozu is revealed to know C while Golen meets A, B and C for the first time and learns that D is the one to have battled Kyoya previously along with being the man that he met in the PWT.

Kyoya is revealed to own a Porygon.

Rayzoni's Arcanine is revealed to know Fire Fang, ExtremeSpeed and Outrage while his Lairon is revealed to have learned Superpower.

Kyoya battles Rayzoni in a 3-on-3 battle but that battle ends with no result when A, B, C and D interrupted it.

The Commanders are revealed to have set up this meeting in this location to use it as a means to attack and brutalize Rayzoni for his insubordination.

B is revealed to own a Sableye, C is revealed to own a Gliscor and D is revealed to own a Golem.

A, B, C and D challenge Rayzoni, Kyoya, Kozu and Golen to battles, respectively and the latter three are easily defeated while the former's battle is ended with no result.
