With the third and forth matches out of the way, everyone was headed to Hawrelak Park. However, Shaymin had also decided to extend the preparation time by an extra fifteen minutes since Unown and Monferno's match had been surprisingly short. This meant that everyone could at least enjoy the sights of the park before heading to the location where the match was to take place.

Either way, once Scorbunny arrived, she stretched and gazed upon the beautiful area before her. Her eyes sparkled as she squealed, "Oh, I just wanna frolic for the next hour!" only for Rillaboom to chuckle, "Too bad you have to fight, eh?"

The rabbit looked down and sighed, "Yeah, you're right," only for Allie to say, "Well, to be fair, we do have a little over an hour until the match starts. It only took ten minutes for the buses to get here."

"Oh, that is a good point, but I might lose track of the time," Scorbunny whimpered, pulling down on her ears, something she had not done since back when she fought for the side of evil, "But I wanna look around this area so much!"

Vaporeon giggled before pursing her lip when everyone stared at her. Up until now, no one had ever heard her giggle. She was quickly able to get everyone to forget about that when she cleared her throat and suggested, "How about we explore together? I'll tell you when you have, like twenty minutes to prepare or something like that."

"You'd do that for me?" Scorbunny squealed with stars in her eyes, the fox nodding and walking over to her before holding her hand and saying, "Of course. Come on, let's go frolic."

And so, the two skipped merrily into the distance while the others stared awkwardly at this. Drizzile blinked and uttered, "Does anyone wanna say it?" Rillaboom and Allie biting their lips while Rolycoly gave Morgrem a stern look and shook his head with his arms folded.

Either way, Hatterene had gone off to prepare for the match herself. Though strangely enough, her arms seemed to have vanished, and this upset her a lot. She breathed heavily and closed her eyes, thinking, 'Come on, don't do this now! Please, arms!'

At that moment, they finally appeared as she breathed a sigh of relief. And she had timed this perfectly for at that very moment, a few people passed by and spotted her. She smiled and bowed her head and asked, "How do you do?"

The citizens waved back and gave a nice greeting before heading on their way before the alien breathed a sigh of relief and thought, 'No one must know about this. I need to keep this up during my match.'

Meanwhile, Scorbunny and Vaporeon looked around the field. Scorbunny just wanted to run around like a kid in a candy store, but she felt as if she should save her energy for the match. When Vaporeon saw how much this ate away at her, she smiled, approached her and rested a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on, ten minutes won't kill you," she said reassuringly while Scorbunny bit her lower lip. However, she simply could not refuse, thus she immediately started to run around with Vaporeon. Sure, the place was mostly composed of grass as opposed to other forms of plant life, but it was also a wide open space and that was all the rabbit could ask for.

After a while, the two lay on the grass with their arms folded behind their heads and breathed in the fresh air. Vaporeon looked at the clouds and chuckled, "You know, I needed this. These matches have been such a rush. A calm moment was just what the doctor ordered."

"Indeed," Scorbunny replied before enquiring, "How much time do I have, anyway?" the fox looking at the sun while holding her hand above her eyes and saying, "We still have a half hour."

"That's good," the rabbit said before closing her eyes and asking, "Hey, Vaporeon?"

"What is it?" the fox enquired before Scorbunny suggested, "Can you help me with my entrance? I wanna make a really good impression today, you know, just in case I lose."

Vaporeon blinked and thought about this. She then nodded her head and replied, "Yeah, I can do that. Daddy and Mommy used to set up huge entrances. I'm actually planning on a pretty big one myself," rolling over to face Scorbunny, "Tell you what. If you help me with my entrance, I'll help you out with yours."

Scorbunny's eyes sparkled as she squealed, "Deal!" and pounded her fist against Vaporeon's. However, after she did so, she felt something strange in her chest, but what was it?

All the while, Allie and the others had just finished a picnic. Drizzile helped clean up with a smile and said, "You know, I'm really glad we came here for the next couple of matches. There's not too much here, but it's nice and soothing. It actually helps take my mind off of Unown."

Allie nodded and added, "I'm just happy to spend so much quality time with you guys," the chameleon biting his lower lip and sighing, "Allie, when our break comes, I'm gonna help you make some human friends."

"But why?" the girl uttered before the chameleon stated, "Allie, you're an amazing person. You've done so much for me. You've shaped me into the fighter I am today and I at least owe you this much. Besides, anyone would be lucky to be your friend and they need to realize that."

Allie's cheeks were flushed pink while she squeaked, "Wow! Thank you so much! But you really don't have to!" Drizzile sighing, "I know. I'm doing this because I want to."

After a few seconds, Allie broke out into hysterics, Drizzile staring in confusion until she laughed, "I just realized something! You're gonna give me advice on how to make friends!" The chameleon soon realized what she meant and could not help but join in with the laughter. After all, one could not deny the irony of this whole situation.

The next twenty minutes passed until it was finally time for everyone to head to the lake where the match was to take place. But when they arrived, they were all surprised to see that the ring was right in the middle of the lake itself with the bleachers set up in front of it and two walkways leading toward the ring. Shaymin and Tori sat behind a small booth while the hedgehog grinned and said, "Now this is more like it. These are the kinds of locations the Olympics are known for."

Tori nodded and said, "For once, I can't argue. I was starting to wonder when we'd get a spot like this."

Morgrem and Rolycoly sat down first as the goblin stared at the ring and said, "Wow, so it's actually in the lake," the golem nodding and replying, "Makes me even more glad I didn't make it this far. Lord knows I'd drown if I was knocked out of the ring."

The others soon joined them, and while they were surprised by the location, they figured Scorbunny would be fine. After all, she had fought in a volcano before. If she could handle that, she could handle this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's now time to begin the second half of round one!" Shaymin squealed, "We've had a pretty damn exciting first half to say the least, but I'm sure this next one will be just as good if not better! Though many of you have probably noticed the location of these next couple of matches!"

She then directed everyone's attention to the ring and added, "As you can see, the ring is in the middle of the lake with deep water surrounding it! And yes, once the fighters enter the ring, those walkways will be removed until the match is over! Because of this, we are going to implement a rule that hasn't been used for quite a while! Basically, if any fighter is knocked out of the ring, it won't count as a ring out, meaning fighters can spend as much time outside of it as they can afford! Although I imagine fighting inside the water wouldn't be so easy for our next few combatants!"

Tori nodded and explained, "There is one exception to the rule, though. If a fighter sinks under the water and starts to drown, we will have our staff rescue her, but of course, that would also count as a true ring-out."

"Don't you mean him or her?" Shaymin enquired only for Tori to shrug and reply, "Well, the next four fighters are all female, so that wouldn't really work."

The hedgehog shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the left, stating, "In the red corner, representing England is a fierce and athletic fighter with amazing spirit! She has truly proven herself worthy of protecting Edmonton and will surely dazzle us all today! Give it up for Scorbunny!"

The crowd was more than ready to cheer until they saw Scorbunny step forward with a Soccer jersey on. She then leapt up just in time for Vaporeon to roll into the area while biting the tip of her tail to make herself resemble a wheel. The rabbit then ran along her like a circus ball and leapt off of her when she was close enough to the ring. Finally, she landed firmly against the canvas and removed her jersey while the crowd went wild.

"What an entrance!" Tori exclaimed, "Not only has Scorbunny shown us that great spirit, but she even got help from another participant!"

"Looking good, Scorbunny!" Morgrem shouted before Rolycoly called, "That was amazing!"

Allie nodded and said, "Yeah, that was much more creative than the other entrances so far," turning to Drizzile and uttering, "No offence," the chameleon shrugging and replying, "No, you're right."

Once the crowd settled down, Shaymin stated, "And in the blue corner, coming to us from Italy is a tall and beautiful warrior! But while she may look delicate, she is anything but! It's actually gone on record that she has never lost a match because of her outstandingly high tolerance to pain! Everyone, give a warm welcome to Hatterene!"

The Italian fans cheered when the alien entered the area and walked toward the ring. She placed her right hand against her side and her leg against her cheek like a super model and headed down the walkway while thrusting her hips back and forth. Scorbunny's friends simply looked at this in silence before Vaporeon joined them in the crowd.

"Hey, guys," the fox said with a light smile before Allie squealed, "That entrance was so cool! Was that your idea!?"

"No, it was Scorbunny's," Vaporeon replied, "But she ultimately needed me to pull it off. My folks used to do that sort of thing all the time before their matches. I feel honoured to have partaken in that."

Hatterene grabbed hold of the ropes when she was close enough and pulled herself over them before landing gracefully against the mat. Afterwards, she breathed a sigh of relief and thought, 'Nailed it.'

Scorbunny noticed that she had quite a bit of nervous sweat, but she figured this must have been due to the fact that she was about to fight in front of a crowd. After all, not everyone was necessarily good at this sort of thing. But regardless, there was no way the rabbit would go easy on her.

And once both were prepared, Shaymin nodded and stated, "And with introductions out of the way, we can begin!" ringing the bell as Scorbunny held her ground and thought, 'Alright, remember what you've learned. Use strategy and common sense but don't over think it.'

Hatterene, on the other hand, simply saw this as an invitation to make the first strike. As such, she immediately raced toward Scorbunny with her arms spread out and tilted like hooks. Needless to say, those who had never seen her fight before were surprised to see someone who looked so formal take such a direct and perhaps even rash approach.

Even so, Scorbunny smirked when she saw this and thought, 'She's making this way too easy,' thus she waited for the alien to come close and leapt to the side. Hatterene's eyes were side with shock while the rabbit pressed her side up against the ropes and bounced off, shouting, "BURNING ROCKET!"

Sure enough, her foot burst into flame before she planted her heel into Hatterene's waist. But just as the British crowd was about to cheer, the alien smirked and covered her arms in a pink energy before she shouted, "PSYCHO WHIP!" and smacked Scorbunny in the face with the arm closest to her.

Scorbunny gasped when this wound up dealing a lot more pain than one would expect from such a thin part of the body, so much so that it left a bruise on her cheek. And it only got worse when Hatterene turned to her and barked, "PSYCHO WHIP BARRAGE!" unleashing a rapid onslaught of fierce slaps.

"Oh my god," Rillaboom uttered, "How are those slaps so effective?" Drizzile replying, "I wonder if it has anything to do with the aura that just appeared."

Allie blinked and noticed it when Hatterene delivered one final strike to Scorbunny's face with both hands and sent her tumbling along the canvas before she hit the ropes. Thankfully, she had enough strength to latch onto them with her arms and stop herself from bouncing off, but either way, she took many deep breaths with terror in her eyes.

"I think you might be right," Allie uttered, "That aura must be giving her some kind of major power boost," Vaporeon replying, "I get the feeling she may be psychic, so that's definitely a possibility."

Scorbunny slowly rose back to her feet and breathed heavily with her eyes wide with terror. The match had not even lasted a minute and yet she already felt weak while one of her strongest attacks had barely done a thing to her opponent. Would this truly be her third loss? Would she not even have a chance at facing either Rillaboom or Vaporeon?

She then frowned and shook her head, thinking, 'Come on, Scorbunny, get it together! Centiskorch was way worse than this!' and thus she struck a fighting pose and grunted, "Not bad, but not good enough!"

Hatterene smirked and thought, 'This is actually easier than I thought it would be. As long as I take her out quickly, everything will be perfect,' before gazing upon the water that surrounded the ring. She knew exactly how to end this quickly.

But of course, Scorbunny would not allow that, thus she decided to go on the offensive this time and race toward Hatterene. Just as the alien was about to strike her again, she frowned and rolled out of the way before she sent a roundhouse into her side. But once again, Hatterene easily overcame the attack and smacked her hard in the cheek, only this time she wrapped her around around the rabbit's waist and lifted her up.

"That's a nice try, but in case you didn't hear the chairwoman earlier, I have an outstandingly high tolerance to pain," she said tauntingly before spinning around and shouting, "WHIRLWIND PITCH!"

The Italian crowd was truly ecstatic when she hurled Scorbunny over the ropes and into the drink, all of her friends staring in horror. Vaporeon especially bit her lower lip and squeaked, "SCORBUNNY, NO!" clinging to the top of the seat in front of her while the one seated there looked at her with irritation on his face.

Allie, Morgrem and Rolycoly were equally concerned until Rillaboom blinked and asked, "What's the big deal? You heard the announcers. That doesn't count as a ring out as long as she doesn't drown, right?"

"Well, yeah, but that only helps if Scorbunny can-" Vaporeon protested before blinking and enquiring, "Wait, can she actually swim?"

Drizzile nodded and replied, "Yeah, she's almost as good as I am," Rolycoly uttering, "Oh yeah, that's right. I have heard that not all fire types are awful swimmers."

However, Hatterene was not aware of this, thus she folded her arms and turned to Shaymin, saying, "Better give me the victory and save her right now. There's no way she's coming back up."

But just as Shaymin and Tori looked at one-another to consider it, Scorbunny rose up from under the water and propelled herself high into the air. She then soared toward Hatterene with her heels out and both feet ablaze, shouting, "BURNING MISSILE!"

"Told you," Rillaboom said with a grin before Morgrem uttered, "Wow, Scorbunny's even cooler than I thought."

Strangely enough, rather than trying to simply dodge the move, Hatterene jumped up and allowed the incoming kick to strike her chest. And much like before, she managed to overcome the pain while she formed a hammer with her ribbon-like arms over her head. Scorbunny eyes widened as she soon took in a blow to the forehead, Hatterene shouting, "PSYCHO MALLET!"

The Italian fans cheered as blood flew out of the very spot that had been struck, Scorbunny coughing up a bit of the liquid. She then fell on her back and stuck out her tongue while her leg twitched, the area completely silent.

"Scorbunny may not have gotten a ring out, but it hardly seems to matter," Shaymin stated, "Hatterene shows us all just how much pain she can take in and knocks the bunny out cold," while Tori started the ten count.

"Come on!" Rillaboom barked, "Get up, Scorbunny!" Morgrem adding, "Yeah, where's that kickass fighter who beat me to a bloody pulp!?" Rolycoly staring at her awkwardly.

Just as Tori reached eight seconds, Vaporeon growled and barked, "COME ON, SCORBUNNY! YOU'RE NOT GONNA LOSE THAT EASILY, ARE YOU!?" And thus the rabbit's eyes widened as she rolled backward and righted herself up. Her eyes were wide with terror while she breathed heavily. She then grinned at her friends and said, "Not on your life."

Hatterene stared silently while her eyes twitched. She had really hoped that would end the match for good, though why she was in such a rush was anyone's guess.

'Alright, I need to think logically,' Scorbunny thought, 'She deliberately took that hit. Yeah, it all makes sense now. This is exactly what happened when I fought Centiskorch. But is her body really as strong as his?'

She examined the torso in question with confusion. After all, Hatterene was slender, so much so that she had an hourglass figure. How could someone this skinny be able to tolerate this much pain?

But before Scorbunny could contemplate this further, Hatterene raced toward her with her arms at the ready and grunted, "Stay down this time!" sending her arms forward only for the rabbit to run forward a small distance. She then knelt down and slid right toward the alien's ankles, thinking, 'This probably won't harm her either. I get the feeling that much like Centiskorch, only her face can be-'

However, it seemed even more complicated. Scorbunny's eyes went wide when rather than getting a minor reaction from Hatterene, she passed right under her. It seemed her kick had caused the alien's dress to fly upward and reveal that she had no legs, and sure enough, the rabbit was not the only one shocked by this.

Not only were her friends and the Japanese citizens surprised, but so were Shaymin and Tori. A look of horror formed on Hatterene's face while she bit her lip, Tori turning to Shaymin and uttering, "Um, did you know about this?" the hedgehog shaking her head and replying, "No. Has she been hovering this whole time?"

Even the Italian crowd could not help but stare in shock as Scorbunny righted herself up and turned to face the alien. Her eyes narrowed while she got a much better look at Hatterene's face. And after a few seconds, she could see what looked like small shoulders tucked under her hair.

At this moment, Scorbunny could see exactly what was going on. While this was a similar case to Centiskorch, it was not exactly the same. Up to this point, she figured her kicks had dealt very little damage, but the truth was that she had not dealt any damage at all, and she knew exactly why.

With that in mind, she took a deep breath and leapt backward into the top rope behind her. She stretched as far back as she could go and lit her foot on fire, the British crowd hoping this would work while Rillaboom uttered, "Is she seriously going to try that again?"

"Yes," Vaporeon replied with a big smile, "I think she just figured out how to win this match," Allie nodding and adding, "Yeah, I see it too. How didn't I notice that?"

Scorbunny launched herself toward Hatterene's face with her heel forward and shouted, "BURNING ROCKET!" only for the alien to fold her arms in front of her face. But as soon as she did so, her eyes widened with terror when the parts in question suddenly vanished.

Now everyone was even more confused, Scorbunny blinking as she had certainly not expected that. But even so, this was certainly convenient, thus a smirk formed before her heel struck Hatterene's face.

The part in question caved in and a large amount of blood spew from her mouth. And when she leaned backward, the audience's confusion grew for her hair and hat had both opened up like a hood. And sure enough, a tiny body with a square shaped pink belly and a bald head flew out and landed against the canvas.

Shaymin and Tori blinked until the human woman weakly started the ten count, not even sure if she could do it with a straight face. Scorbunny's friends were all stunned, but when they saw the Italian fans just as shocked as they were, this only rose more questions. Did they really not know of this?

Once Tori reached ten seconds, she rang the bell and exclaimed, "And Scorbunny has won the match and also revealed something I don't think the world was prepared for!" and as much as the rabbit's supporters wanted to cheer, they were still fixated on Hatterene.

"I knew it," Scorbunny uttered, "I've sort of figured that you're a psychic type fighter, aren't you? And you've been using some sort of psychic energy to give yourself a disguise that makes you look taller."

Hatterene coughed a bit and let down tears, sniffing, "Yes, it's true. Go on, make fun of me. Make fun of the midget pretending to be something she's not."

As much as Scorbunny felt like she had at least earned the right to do so, she knew that would be wrong. Instead, she just stood there with her arms folded while Hatterene grunted, "Well, what are you waiting for!? I can handle it! I've been made fun of for my height all my life! It's the whole reason I dawned that disguise in the first place!"

"You may be small, but you're also a lot stronger than you look," Scorbunny replied, "Those arms you created for yourself are surprisingly powerful. I feel like if you hadn't used them throughout the entire match and only brought them out when you really needed them, they wouldn't have vanished when I attacked you."

"Wow, I'm impressed she caught onto all of that," Rillaboom uttered, "Scorbunny's smart at times, but she's not usually this perceptive," Morgrem blinking and uttering, "Oh yeah, she did use a move on me that weakened her without thinking."

"You're right," Hatterene uttered with her eyes wide open, "If I hadn't been so conscious about my appearance, I probably could have put up a better fight," a light smile on her face, "Either way, Scorbunny, you were a great opponent. I hope you win the tournament. You deserve it. I'm just some nobody who doesn't deserve anything."

Her eyes widened when Scorbunny held her hand out and sighed, "Don't put yourself down like that. Screw the people who got after you for your appearance. You're a lot better than you think you are, and you don't need some disguise to prove it."

Hatterene's eyes sparkled before she took hold of Scorbunny's hand and stood upright. At that moment, the area erupted with cheers and applause, Shaymin releasing tears and sniffing, "I have no idea what just happened, but it was a beautiful!" Tori rolling her eyes and patting her on the shoulder.

The alien shook Scorbunny's hand and said, "Thank you so much. You're right. I don't need some disguise to be awesome, although-" walking over to the costume and using her psychic arms to pry the hair and hat off. She then placed them both atop their head and said, "This part's too stylish for me to just toss out. The rest can go in the trash."

At that moment, a few girls in the crowd stood up before one spat, "I'll take that dress off your hands!" another adding, "No, me! I'll pay you fifty bucks for it!" another retorting, "Fifty!? I'll pay two hundred!"

Hatterene chuckled nervously and uttered, "Maybe I should take that," as Scorbunny shrugged and replied, "Sounds like a good deal to me."

Either way, things had turned out well in the end. Not only had Scorbunny come out on top but it seemed as if Hatterene had a much brighter future now. But of course, there were still three more matches to go until round one was over.
