Ladies, gentleman, and others, welcome to the set of tapings for Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Time to finish off this semi-final battle and see what our hero….villain….anti-hero, Brendan can overcome! Let's go!

Wally: Look…we know…but the story is getting deeper, of course it would take longer….so stick around…p-please…we'll pay you. (Gallade jumps down and slashes the screen in half; vertically.)

Flashback

Our four main characters are walking through a valley; they appeared to be around 10 years of age. Brendan wore his red and black outfit, Calem had his hat, a shirt and long pants, Wally was in long green pants and a green turtleneck, and Lucas was in his normal gear.

"I'm just saying, if I wanted to, I could date Nina Einstein. I could," Lucas said confidently.

Brendan sighed, "Dude, we were talking about Fantasy Football."

"I honestly don't know how you get wrapped up in that head of yours," an annoyed Calem spoke. As the conversation continued, Wally looked across the valley that there was a lone tree; the tree had a figure sitting under it.

"Huh," he spoke. "Wh-What's that under the tree?" The other tree looked at the tree and headed towards; leaving Wally behind. "Hey, we shouldn't just randomly go towards it….What if it's dangerous?"

The other three headed towards the figure. As they got closer, they noticed a Furret; it was covered in cuts and bruises.

"Aw man, it looks like it's hurt," Lucas said. He then saw the broken Poké ball on the ground next to it.

"So, it's a wild Pokémon who got into a fight with some others," Calem assumed.

"Not from the looks of it," Lucas said, taking a closer look.

Calem turned towards his friend, "Hm?"

Lucas continued, "From the looks of it, the trainer isn't coming back," noticing the look on the Furret's face. There was a look of anger and distrust in its eyes.

Wally finally catching up, read the situation, "How could someone do something so awful? Leaving a defenseless Pokémon by itself?"

Suddenly, the Furret snapped its teeth viciously at the boys. "Yikes," Wally yelped jumping behind Calem; who remained calm.

"Can't say I blame it," Lucas claimed. "Probably can't fend for itself too well. I'd be pretty cold too."

Calem spoke up, "Furret are known for being really friendly; makes me wonder how long it's been stuck here."

Wally spoke up, "Well we can't just leave it here." Before Wally could continue, Brendan walked closer towards the Furret. "Brendan, what are you-"

The Furret snapped again at Brendan to issue another warning. Brendan continued to walk until lowering itself to the injured Pokémon's level. Suddenly, Furret growled and latch its teeth into Brendan's right arm.

"Ngh," Brendan flinched.

"Brendan," Wally yelled.

Lucas stepped forward, "Get off of-"

"Relax," Calem said. "He knows what he's doing….or he's just an idiot."

Brendan continued to look into Furret's eyes as it glared back at him.

Brendan smirked, "Heh, you know, I get the feeling you're not really like this...To be honest, it's okay to ask for help every now and then." He then slowly reached into his bag using his other hand, as Furret bit harder. Slowly but surely, Brendan pulled out an Oran Berry.

"I know it ain't a lot, but it's the best we can do right now," Brendan reassured. Furret wanted to keep fighting, but knew the extent on its injuries. It released Brendan and slowly smelt the berry, before eating it quickly.

Furret had a soft smile, "Fur."

The gang smiled, "Nice!"

Brendan smiled, "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?" The Furret continued to smile.

Suddenly, Lucas' Pokétch began to go off. He looked at the message he received. "We gotta go!"

Calem nodded, "We've wasted enough time here; let's get moving."

Brendan stood up and looked at the Furret, "Hm…well you're not exactly healed, so we can take you to a Pokémon Center if you need." Furret's smile disappeared and turned away from the group.

"Kek, I understand," Brendan chuckled. "You have to be tough, don't ya?"

Brendan turned around, "It's fine, I won't force you. Let's go boys!"

Wally countered, "But Brendan-"

"Nothing we can do this time," Brendan said with a smile. Brendan began to walk forward with his hands behind his head, as Lucas and Calem followed behind. Wally turned to look back at the Furret, who was still turned towards them, but he finally gave up and followed his group.

"Are you sure that was the right thing to do," Lucas said.

Brendan shrugged, "No, but it was the little guy's choice in the end- OW!" Brendan yelped as he felt a sharp pain in his right arm. As he lifted it up, he revealed the Furret from before.

"Change your mind," Brendan smirked as he brought the arm, and by proxy the Furret, to his eye level.

Lucas smiled, "He really knows how to call 'em."

Calem snarked, "Or he's just a lucky idiot."

Brendan ignoring his friends, spoke to the Pokémon, "Well the way I see it, we're teammates now, little guy." Furret dug its teeth deeper into Brendan's arm; causing him to wince more than before.

"Y-Yikes! Little…lady?" he guessed. Furret slowly lightened up and smiled through the biting.

Brendan smiled again and chuckled to himself, "Looks like we're not too different."

Flashback End

"Furret, Focus Blast," Brendan commanded. Furret shot a blue blast at Salamence who barely dodged it.

"Flamethrower, Salamence," Jayden said. Salamence breathed out a blast of fire; that Furret was barely able to dash out of the way.

"Heh, you're not too terrible, Brendork," Jayden said with some excitement.

"And you're not a total waste of space, you stupid idiot," Brendan said. "I'd come up with something better, but to be honest, that's what I call everyone…and frankly, you're not worth it."

"Tch, you're a real pain in the ass," Jayden snarked back.

May spoke to Brendan, "Are you sure you can handle this Brendan; you seemed really panicked earlier."

Brendan turned towards May and winked, "Nothing to it."

"Aw, that's sweet," Jaysen said.

"It's totally lame," Jayden said. "Eh, still better than that green-haired loser with that Cacturne guy."

May glared, "That 'green-haired loser' is my boyfriend."

"Oh, and that's my fault," Jayden asked.

"Focus Blast," Brendan quickly and almost without emotion said. Furret blasted another blue orb that connected with Salamence in its face.

"HEY! We weren't ready, you jerk," Jayden yelled.

Brendan shrugged, "Oh, and that's my fault?"

Cue Battle Intro (youtube watch?v=bDokwN3bkr0) (For music)

Lucas and Calem stand back to back; they begin to slide apart into the background. Meanwhile Wally and Ash cheer on Pikachu and Gallade, who are battling; using Iron Tail and Psycho Cut, respectively. Finally Brendan stands behind Swampert and activates his Mega Bracelet; there's a bright flash.

The guys, including Ash speak:

Chapter 32:

The Real Plan

"You're really a pest, ya know that, right," Jayden said.

Brendan shrugged, "Quick Attack!" Furret dashed towards Salamence and tackled it; causing a moderate amount of damage.

"Stop ignoring me," Jayden snapped. "Dragon Claw," he continued. Salamence dashed towards Furret and slashed at her back. Furret collapsed on the ground in pain.

"Furret, are you okay," Brendan asked with concern. Furret was barely able to stand before falling to the ground again.

The referee raised his hand, "Furret is unable to-"

Before the ref could finish, Salamence flew towards Furret and stood over her.

"What are you doing," Jaysen asked.

Jayden spoke up, "It's not over." Furret slowly began to get up and see the dragon towering over her.

"Furret, no!" May yelled.

"This was fun! But this one's over," Jayden smirked. "Do it!" Salamence raised its claw and breathed fire onto it; engulfing the nails. It then swung the claw at Furret's back landing a direct hit.

Salamence put its claw on the ground before blowing out smoke; suddenly there was a poof of smoke surrounding Furret's body. Once it cleared, Furret's body was replaced by a wooden log.

"HUH?" Jayden, Jaysen, and May reacted as their jaws hit the ground.

Suddenly a ball of energy floated above Salamence and crashed into it.

Furret was on top of Salamence as the smoke cleared. Salamence was barely able to stand as it realized.

"It's called Substitute," Brendan smirked.

Jayden soon began to laugh; with each passing second the laugh begun to get more maniacal.

"THAT'S IT! That's what I wanted to see! All the rumors I've heard about you are true!" Jayden yelled. Brendan refused to acknowledge his opponent.

"To be honest, I've been waiting for a long time to fight you! You're cocky, annoying, and a pain in the ass: so I respect that," Jayden went on laughing. Brendan didn't still didn't answer.

Jayden got annoyed, "Oh! So you think you're clever! You think you can beat us that easily…..WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE, I WAS GONNA MAKE THIS A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING, BUT NOW WE'RE JUST GONNA CRUSH YOU!" Jayden revealed his Mega Ring.

"Uh, Brendan," May said. "Please do something." Still no answer. "Oh no. Is he scared again?" She put her hand on Brendan's shoulder. "Brendan?"

Brendan turned to her, and began to pick his nose with his pinky. "I zoned out thinking about delicious pancakes, what's happening?"

May sweatdropped, "I really hope this is his way of coping."

Jaysen grabbed his partner's arm, "We were told not to use that! We've done what we need to; let's just move on!"

Jayden simply moved his other hand to the ring, "Oops," he said nonchalantly. The ring began to glow and Salamence was surrounded by a large amount of light. There was a large amount of energy causing the battlefield to shake and Furret to jump off and distance herself.

The aura continued to glow and suddenly it stopped; revealing a Salamence with a crescent-shaped wing. It also had a jetpack-like vest on its chest.

Brendan froze, "….shit."

"Dragon Claw-" Jayden was about to say before Salamence dashed off before finishing his sentence. There was a blast that was sent from the back of Salamence as it slashed at Furret. Furret was sent flying and crashed into one of the walls of the colosseum.

"FURRET," Brendan and May yelled. Furret was just barely crawling out of the destroyed wall.

"Furret….you need to rest up," Brendan spoke with concern.

Furret stood on its hind legs preparing for another attack.

"Furret, STOP," Brendan yelled. Salamence flew towards Furret, but Furret was barely able dodge. Before Salamence could turn around, it slashed its claws at Brendan to intimidate him.

Brendan fell back in fear, "Please no."

Jayden yelled, "Hey, Salamence, focus on your target!" Salamence, ignoring its trainer, glared at Brendan, shooting a blast of fire at him. The blast barely missed his feet.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Brendan yelled with a fearful scream from the top of his lungs.

"Brendan," May yelled getting on his level and trying to shake him out of it. She turned and glared at the other trainers.

"Control your Salamence! What's wrong with you?"

Jaysen was barely able to speak, "Jayden can-can't control Salamence! Call it off!"

Jayden pulled out his Poké ball but paused for a moment, "…we have to keep fighting…I can pull it off! Sala-"

Salamence shot a blast of fire at Jayden who was barely tackled out of the way by Jaysen. Afterwards, it used Flamethrower on Furret. Furret took the full force of the attack; crying out in pain.

After the attack stopped, Furret was covered with burns all over its body.

Bonnie was shaking, "Clemont, I'm scared. Why isn't Salamence listening?"

Clemont held his sister closer, "Salamence are known for already being difficult to train and control. And further more, Mega Salamence can lash out; even against their own trainers."

Wally spoke up, "It doesn't matter how tough Furret is…if Brendan's confidence is shot, nothing is going to help them."

Brendan continued to be frozen; his mind flashing back to the Salamence swinging its arms at him. May looked over at him shaking.

"This is bad," she thought. "Winning isn't an issue anymore. If Furret gets hurt because Brendan is scared, he'll never forgive himself."

Finally, May shook herself out of her thoughts: "Furret, Focus Blast!"

Furret, after looking back at May nodding, jumped in the air, and fired a ball of energy at Salamence. Ordinarily Salamence would've dodged; but due to its lack of control, it got hit with the blast on its back. Furret landed on its hind legs, but stumbled for a bit.

"Now use Quick Attack," May yelled. Furret dashed around the area, but was noticeably slower than usual. Its burns and legs hadn't completely healed.

Salamence flew at Furret, hitting Furret with the side of its sharp wings. Furret felt the cut on her body and continued to run.

May continued, "Jump on its back!" Furret leaped onto Salamence's back and hung on.

Salamence tried to shake Furret off, but to no avail.

Jayden yelled, "Stop! You can't beat it!"

"Just return your Pokémon and run," Jaysen yelled.

May ignored them, "Another Focus Blast!" Furret still clung onto Salamence's back, fired another Focus Blast. There was an explosion that sent the two hurdling towards the ground. Soon, the smoke cleared as the two were still falling.

Furret had let go of Salamence, as she appeared to be unconscious. Salamence continued to have its eyes closed.

"Furret, use Giga Impact! Full power!" May commanded. Furret was still falling through the air. After a few moments, her eyes shot open and she covered herself with the usual colorful aura.

Furret sped towards Salamence, but due to the injuries the aura began to fade. Nonetheless, Furret continued to charge towards her target.

The aura continued to fade and by the time Furret was in Salamence's face, Salamence had barely opened its eyes. Furret's aura had completely faded and she smashed her head into Salamence's. The impact sent Salamence rocketing towards the ground, until it crashed. Furret unable to put her legs down for support, crashed side first into the ground.

After a few moments, the referee raised both arms: "Both Pokémon are unable to ba-"

Everyone focused on the battlefield in shock. Salamence had slowly gotten up, while staggering on its feet. It let out a powerful puff through its nose.

"Incredible! Salamence has made it to its feet; just barely able to stand," Steven announced.

Jayden was shocked to see what happened next, "Wh-What the hell?"

The whole audience turned to see Furret; barely able to stand on her four legs. One of her eyes was completely shut, as there was some blood coming from her head. Her whole body was shaking all over.

Brendan was finally able to speak, "F….Furret, just stay down…"

There was a stand off between Furret and Salamence. Neither Pokémon gave in to the idea of letting the other win. After a few moments, Salamence smirked at Furret.

Furret flinched as this was happening and was barely able to recover. Suddenly, Salamence collapsed to the crowd. There was a flash around it, and the Mega Evolution faded.

The referee, learning his lesson from the last two attempts, waited a few moments before making the call: "Salamence, is unable to battle, Furret wins! The victory goes to May and Brendan!"

The crowd roared in approval as the group sighed heavily.

"Well I guess it's finally over," Ash said.

"That battle was really intense," Clemont said.

Bonnie finally spoke up, "I just hope Brendan and Furret are okay."

Jayden walked over to Salamence, "….Sorry Salamence I got crazy out there." Salamence lifted its head and gave a smirk to its trainer. "We'll have to work harder to take that Furret down; it's tougher than it looks."

Zane made the announcement, "And with that, May and Brendan will advance to the finals! The next matchup in the tournament will decide their opponents!"

Suddenly, Furret collapsed on the battlefield; waking Brendan from his shock.

"Furret," he yelled. "Please tell me you're okay!" He ran over to Furret and picked her up; no response.

"Furret…FURRET!" he screamed.

Later

The gang was in the Pokémon Center, awaiting results from Nurse Joy. Brendan's face was glued to the glass of the ER; even his Pokémon were concerned. Lucas approached Brendan and put a hand on his friend's shoulder. Brendan flinched.

"S-Sorry," Brendan said.

Lucas spoke, "Relax. Furret wouldn't want you worried like this."

Wally spoke up, "Brendan, what happened out there? You seemed scared."

"Something happened, and it had to do with that Salamence," Calem said.

Suddenly, Nurse Joy left the room; causing the gang to turn towards her.

She let out a sigh, "It's touch and go at this point." Joy then turned to Brendan with a stern look, "How could you let your Pokémon get in such bad shape!"

"I'm sorry, I got so terrified, I-" Brendan said in defense.

"Lay off him," Calem said. "He's been through enough!"

The nurse was startled, "J-Just try to be careful," she said walking off.

Brendan turned to everyone, "Sorry guys, I really don't think talking about it would-"

He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, it was revealed to be Ash.

"You can tell us, Brendan," he reassured him. Brendan looked around the room and saw the confirmation in everyone's eyes. He sighed; giving up.

Flashback Begins

"I've already told you guys how I don't get along with my parents. Heck most of my family barely noticed me; the one guy I was close with was my uncle," Brendan narrated.

Brendan, about 6 years old, was sitting on the shoulders of a man. He was rugged, long red hair, a scar on his eye, and bandage wrapped around his head.

"Let's keep going, Uncle Yucca," a young Brendan said.

"Kid, you're way too excited," the man replied.

He placed Brendan on the ground and found some berries for the two.

"So, I take it your parents don't want you out here anymore," Yucca said.

Brendan shook his head, "Nope, I don't care though. I'm having fun anyway."

"Heh, good!" Yucca said. "I mean after you got hurt last time-"

"It was only a few cuts and bruises," Brendan yelped.

Yucca smiled, "All for that girl, huh?"

Brendan turned away, "She just needed protectin'."

"Whatever you say." They sat in silence for a few moments before Brendan spoke up.

"She was so pretty! I could tell she really wanted to hang out more," he excitedly said.

"Something special huh," the uncle replied.

"Yeah….I'm gonna marry her someday," Brendan sighed.

"Can we skip this part," Brendan said.

"Anyways, you gotta try to do what you can for your dreams," Yucca said. He placed a hand on Brendan's head. "Don't let people stand in your way and stop you; whether you earn their respect or beat it out of them, show 'em that staying still and getting knocked down is for failures. Make them take notice; even if you have to push back!"

Brendan nodded, "Yeah! You got it, Uncle Yucca!"

The man nodded, "Good! We should keep going; let your Mudkip out. Let it get some fresh air!"

Brendan nodded and released his Mudkip from the Poké ball. Mudkip leaped into Brendan's arms and licked him.

"Man, you two get along way too well," Yucca said.

Suddenly, there was a roar heard in the distance.

"What was that," Brendan said.

"Get back," Yucca said.

Suddenly a Salamence appeared in the sky and shot a barrage of flames at the group. Yucca grabbed Brendan and Mudkip and dodged the attack.

"You okay, kid," Yucca asked. Brendan nodded his head.

"What's going on, Uncle," Brendan asked with fear in his voice.

Yucca through a Poké ball into the air, and out came an Aggron. Salamence quickly shot another blast of fire.

"Aggron, Metal Burst," Yucca commanded. Aggron created a white ball of energy that caught the flames; after holding it for a few seconds, the blast was fired back at the Salamence who took the blast head on.

"Did-Did we win," Brendan asked. The smoke began to clear, due to a bright flash. The smoke cleared revealing a Mega Evolved Salamence.

Brendan began to shake, "What happened to Salamence?" He continued to notice that there was a dark aura around the Pokémon.

Salamence charged towards the group, rage filled its eyes. All of a sudden, Mudkip jumped out of Brendan's arms and fired a Water Gun at Salamence. The attack hit Salamence in the face and slowed it down for a moment.

It only got angry and charged in, hitting Mudkip with a Dragon Claw; it was barely able to stand.

"Mudkip," Brendan yelled, running to check on it. Aggron fired back with a Metal Claw; but Salamence dodged with a dark aura around it, and knocked Aggron away with its tail.

It then locked onto Mudkip and charged at it. Mudkip collapsed to the ground after the last attack. Without thinking, Brendan covered Mudkip with his body.

"You idiot," Yucca yelled. Salamence drew closer in and pointed its sharp wings at the boy. Brendan continued to shield his friend.

"I'll protect you at all costs, Mudkip," Brendan said.

The Salamence swung its wing and there was a piercing sound.

Brendan was shaking as he continued to cover his friend. After a while, he noticed that there was a shadow over him. He looked up to see Salamence's wing through Yucca's chest.

"UNCLE YUCCA!" Brendan screamed in horror.

Aggron jumped up and attacked Salamence with Iron Head. Salamence flew back after the attack and fled from the scene.

"Well, that sucked…." Yucca said as he collapsed onto the ground next to Brendan.

"Uncle! Please be okay!" Brendan yelled as tears fell from his face.

"Kid-" Yucca spoke up.

"You're the only one who knows the real me," Brendan continued.

"LISTEN KID," Yucca yelled. Brendan froze in place and listened.

Yucca put a hand on the boy's head and spoke, "I'm proud of you. To be honest, had you not done what you did, might not have bothered saving you. The fact that you saved that Mudkip of yours proves your in good shape-" Yucca began to cough violently.

He continued, "Look, Brendan. I don't give a damn what my idiot 'brother' says…You're a good kid…some advice; keep your friends close…protect your Pokémon no matter what….and don't…FUCKING…LOSE…got that," Yucca finished as he began to cough up blood.

"I promise….I-I promise! I'll win no matter what!" Brendan said.

"….Good….and one more thing…your parents….they're not really-"

"YUCCA," a figure yelled. Many different adults ran towards the situation. They were horrified at what they saw. Suddenly, the mans head fell to the side; peacefully. A roar was heard in the distance and the surrounding people began to yell.

"This is all your fault," a man yelled.

"You're a menace," a woman yelled.

"Say something, you piece of crap," someone else spoke.

Brendan was horrified and could barely speak, "I….I didn't want-"

"Quiet," one of the men shouted.

"How could you," the woman screamed. "It's your fault he's dead!"

Brendan continued to cry to himself, "I just wanna go home…"

Flashback Ends

"Man, that's awful," Lucas said.

"Yeah, and I didn't even learn what he was gonna tell me about my parents," Brendan finished. "Hated them ever since; well, at least that's when I started telling them."

May put a hand on his shoulder, "Brendan, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't have had you battle if I had known-"

The sign on the emergency room lit up and the nurse walked out, the gang waited for her to speak.

"Furret will be fine. She just needs some rest," she said with a small smile.

Everyone breathed a smile of relief, except for Brendan who walked into the room. He knelt down by the bed Furret was on and leaned against the wall; the rest of his Pokémon following suit.

Wally spoke, "That's a relief." Suddenly Lisia had a thought; her face turned from relieved to angered.

"Excuse me," she said walking down the hall.

"What's gotten into her," the group asked.

Lisia walked down the hall for a few minutes, until she found the door she was looking for and knocked.

Jaysen opened the door, "I-Is something wrong?"

"Pretty intense battle, huh," she said.

"I-I guess," Jaysen replied as Lisia pushed her way through. She saw Jayden sitting on the bed.

"What's she doing here," he asked.

"Do you send out Salamence on purpose," Lisia scolded.

Jayden smirked, "No way! How was I supposed to know?"

Lisia fake laughed, "You know, Brendan might be a total pain, but he didn't deserve that."

Jaysen defended his partner, "He's telling the truth, we didn't know. Heck, we already know how great of a trainer he is! Even if Salamence was fully under control, it would've been tough; he's like the second-best trainer out there!"

Jayden glared, "I lost to him, so where does that put me?"

Jaysen gulped, "The-The point is, we don't fight dirty."

"The point is, I'm dating one of his best friends AND one of the strongest trainers," Lisia fought back.

"Arguably," Jayden said under his breath.

Lisia snapped, "Don't make me come over there! I will PUT…YOU…DOWN," as her eyes glowed red.

Jayden then gulped, "Y-Yes ma'am."

Lisia continued, "The point is, Wally is important to me. I know I practically smother him, but that's cause I'm grateful. And thanks to him, I became friends with everyone else; that includes Brendan! So now, knowing what you do: if I see Brendan like that again, and one of you could've stopped it…"

She looked up with an incredibly furious look as her pupils were emphasized. She spoke calmly, yet coldly: "Not a Salamence in the world is going to save you from what I do."

This time both boys gulped; both too scared to speak.

Lisia cheerfully smiled, "Good!" She turned and left the room; leaving the two alone.

Jaysen fixed himself with a serious expression, "She could be dangerous, have to do something about that."

Meanwhile, Jayden was still thinking about the idol's threat, "D-D-Don't make me come over there," he said fearfully to himself.

A Few Hours Later

May headed back to the ER to see Brendan and his Pokémon sitting against the wall, as they were before.

"You're here too," Calem said appearing; startling her.

"Gah! Don't scare me like that, Calem!"

"Whatever. You think everything will work out," he asked.

"Yeah I think so….you felt something didn't you," she asked.

"What are you talking about," Calem retorted.

"Everything with your dad: you sympathize with him. Am I wrong," May smiled.

Calem turned away, "I just didn't want him to cry. Beating someone in a tournament after they've cried seems harsh."

May scoffed, "Pfft, sure. That's what it is!"

Calem sighed, "I just want him back to normal."

"Me too," May nodded. "Hm, never thought I'd say that."

Calem chuckled, "Weird, huh?" As the two continued to watch, Furret slowly began to wake up.

Brendan stood up and looked at Furret; she smiled when she saw him.

"Fur," she spoke.

"Furret! You're okay!" he exclaimed.

Furret nodded, "Fur!"

"So…listen..." Brendan began to shake. "I…I was too weak to protect you…even after May talked to me, I still couldn't do anything."

Brendan began to cry, "I'm sorry…I'm so selfish. I don't expect you to ever forgive me, but-"

Furret cut her trainer off by gently licking his face, "Furret…"

Brendan's eyes widened, "Y-You…"

Furret jumped out of the bed and nuzzled against Brendan's chest. The rest of his Pokémon got in closer to surround the two.

Brendan's tears continued to fall, "You guys are way too nice."

"They have a good trainer," May said in the doorway.

"Yeah…well, I guess I should thank you. Seriously, if you hadn't done something when I tripped up…well Furret could've ended up a lot worse," Brendan said.

"Anytime, partner," May winked.

Brendan stood up as he turned his head away, "I just couldn't imagine what I would've done if something happened. My Pokémon are…well without them, I'm just alone…By the way, there's one more thing about Salamence that-"

May quickly hugged Brendan, "You don't have to tell me…Brendan you've opened up a lot today; that's fine. Plus, you'll always have me."

Brendan was shocked, he seemed comfortable yet confused. "Yeah, sure. Thanks!" he said hugging her back.

"Now…can you please go back to being the Brendan we know and….are used to," May joked.

Brendan snickered, "Whatever, you annoying princess." She then hit him on the head, which caused his hat to fall slightly.

"Aw, you care," Brendan said. Brendan then quickly moved his hat, so that May moved so that she wouldn't notice.

Calem noticed the two, "She really knows how to get to him." He laughed to himself.

Suddenly, Shauna and Dawn ran towards Calem.

"Calem, we're in deep trouble!" Shauna yelled.

"What? What's wrong?" Calem asked.

"The Pokémon we saved the other day! It's gone," Shauna said.

Serena continued, "Latias is gone!"

"LATIAS?!" Calem yelled in shock.

A/N: And that's the game! Sorry for the seriousness of the chapter, but everyone needs a story. I finally broke my writer's block! I have a plan for the next several chapters and while they may not be as long, they'll be faster! Today's questions are: Favorite of the four boys? I know I've already asked, but I wanna know if the opinions have changed since then. For your patience: Here's another sneak peak of the upcoming crossover special; enjoy:

Sneak Peak 2

Calem: So why do we have to fight these things?

Wally: Cause the story requires it.

Gintoki: Your fourth wall jokes are too predictable; how annoying!

Lucas and Wally: Look who's talking?!

Hisoka: Well….the way you two argue….it makes me all tingly.

Brendan: You weren't held enough as a child, were you?

Lucas: That's just mean!

Doodle (Monster Hunter): Can you guys focus? Lucas, Brendan: You're up!

Lucas: (Readies his Glaive) You better be ready, Brendan!

Brendan: Aw, just to think, Dawn can take care of you when I'm done! Hopefully she's good with first aid.

*Brendan swings the Charge Blade that almost immediately turns into axe form.*

*Lucas' Glaive sent him flying into the air with him holding on.*

*Lucas flew down and poked Brendan with the tip of the blade. Meanwhile Brendan hits Lucas on the head with the flat of the axe blade.*

Brendan and Lucas: (Both covering their heads in pain) OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!

Everyone else: (Sweatdrops) …the earth is doomed…..

P.S. Might be working on a theme song soon….hopefully…maybe…
