Krom smiled, stretching his aching muscles. He slept hard last night, as they stayed up later than normal. He yelled to Drayden, telling him to get ready. He flung a Pokeball, The Oozaru emerging with a smirk on his face. Drayden grunted, flinging a Pokeball. He sent out a Flygon, the bug looking dragon flying about. Krom smiled, telling the Infernape to go to work. The infernal ape smiled, watching his foe.

Drayden called for Mud Shot, the dragon shooting a muddy ball at the ape. The Oozaru jumped over it, using Flamethrower. The dragon flew out of the way, charging the ape. The ape noticed the dragon's tail, which glew blue. The ape used Protect, blocking the Dragon Tail. Krom knew Dragon Tail was Drayden's signature move, as he was refuted for inventing it. Krom smiled, telling the ape to use Dual Chop, another dragon move. The ape's fists glew a dark blue, and he came down at the dragon.

The dragon flew to the side, using Dragon Pulse to strike the ape. The ape grunted, and spun, using Poison Jab. The dragon barely avoided the attack, striking with Dragon Claw. The ape grunted again, smirking. The close range was a disadvantage for a flying Pokemon, who were normally hit and run. The ape used Mach Punch, striking the Pokemon. He kicked the Pokemon in the chest, flipping to elbow it in the face, rolling to elbow it again. He head butted the dragon, teeth grit. The dragon stumbled back, allowing the Infernape's tail to glow blur. Drayden gaped, although his beard hid it, as his Flygon was defeated with Dragon Tail. Drayden grunted, switching the dragon out for a Druddigon.

The Infernape smiled, knowing the Pokemon had Rough Skin as an ability. Drayden called for Double Team, and the dragon duplicated, surrounding the ape. The ape closed his eyes, using calm mind to focus. He sensed the dragon was to the left, and spun, using Flamethrower. The clones dissipated, the dragon jumping away. Drayden called for Dragon Tail, and the dragon swung it's tail at the ape. The ape grunted as the tail struck his arm, forcing him back into his Pokeball, and forcing Bruce out.

The mouse listened to music, and Drayden furrowed his brow. He called for Double Team, hoping to confuse the mouse. The mouse held his eyes closed, swaying to the music. His arms moved from side to side, and he moved his neck back and forth, his head rolling. Drayden was confused, then he watched the rodent use Hidden Power, the dark type move shooting balls of black energy across the gym, forcing the Druddigon to leap into the air, where the Mienfoo used Aura Sphere, knocking it to the ground.

The mouse moved forward to the beat he swayed to, and the dragon stood. Drayden called for Dragon Claw, and the dragon swung it's huge claws at the mouse, who merely leaned back, only an inch from the Druddigon. He used Focus Punch, and even at one inch distance, knocked the dragon into a wall and defeating it. Drayden gaped, switching the Pokemon out for a Garchomp. The shark dragon roared, the mouse's eye opening slowly. Drayden heard a faint bass change, hearing a gravely guitar riff. The mouse burst forth, fighting to the beat.

The Pokemon used Ice Punch, slamming into the dragon's chest, knocking it back. He used Drain Punch, knocking him back further. He swung his fist, using Focus Punch. He stopped one inch from the shark dragon's face, and Drayden screamed for Dragon Tail. The dragon leaned back, swinging his tail around at the mouse. The focus Punch struck, knocking the dragon back, as Dragon Tail forced him back into his Pokeball, pulling Dj Swamp out. Drayden called for Dragon Rush, and the dragon roared, exploding forward. Dj swamp laughed, rocking from side to side.

The dragon missed, the mud fish having moved to the side. Drayden called for Dragon Pulse, the dragon shooting a shockwave from his maw. Dj Swamp used Protect, blocking it while laughing. Drayden called for Dragon Tail, annoyed by the Swampert. The dragon flew through the air, coming down with his tail. Dj Swamp grabbed the tail, wagging a finger as he flung the Pokemon with Seismic Toss, the dragon spinning in air, to growl. Dj Swamp laughed, cloaking himself in water, bursting forth with Aqua Jet. Drayden called for Dragon Rush, the dragon moving forward. Dj swamp used Ice Beam, freezing himself in a wall of ice. The dragon slammed into the mud fish, but the ice defeated him, the Swampert taking little damage.

Drayden growled, sending out his Altaria. Dj swamp laughed, using Ice Beam. The dragon merely floated away, coming down with Aerial Ace. Dj Swamp waited, timing his attack. He swung his fist, slamming an Ice Punch into the beak of the Pokemon. The Altaria flew back, injured. Dj Swamp used rock Tomb, throwing the rock into the bird like dragon, knocking it to the ground. It was surrounded by rocks, Dj Swamp leaping into the air, coming down with Giga Impact. The explosion defeated the bird, and the mud fish laughed. Drayden switched the Altaria out, sending out a Fraxure. The Pokemon called out, huge tusks next to his body. Drayden called for Dragon Rush, the Swampert left vulnerable by Giga Impact.

The Swampert grunted, struck by the power Pokemon. Fraxure and it's whole line were known for nearly god like attack stats. It was one said the Haxorus was almost Zekrom of the Ideals' equal in brute force, but Krom doubted this. Drayden called for Dual Chop, the blunt tusks striking the mud fish. The Pokemon regained movement, coming down with Ice Punch when Drayden called for Dragon Tail, the tail forcing the Swampert out for the Oozaru. The ape smiled, exploding forward with Mach Punch. The punch knocked the Pokemon back, and a Thunder Punch defeated it. Drayden growled, switching it out for his final Pokemon, a Haxorus.

The Infernape smiled, watching the dragon. Drayden called for Dragon Rush, and the dragon burst forth, and Krom yelled for Protect, the ape blocking the attack. Drayden called for Dragon Tail, the Pokemon swinging it's tail at the ape. Krom called for Dragon Tail, the ape's tail striking Haxorus' much larger one. Both Pokemon jumped back, the moves' effects cancelled out. Drayden called for Iron Tail, and Krom mimicked. The tails collided, both Pokemon jumping back. Drayden called for Superpower, the dragon glowing red and charging. Krom laughed, calling for Zen Headbutt. The Pokemon collided, both jumping back unscathed.

Krom loved the battle, watching the Pokemon exchange blows. Raw combat broke out, the Pokemon unable to wait. Haxorus swung his leg, Infernape parrying with his forearm, the using Mach Punch. The Haxorus grunted, using Dual Chop, swinging his huge neck and energy axes to damage the ape. Krom smiled, watching the two Pokemon beat each other. They jumped back, both panting. Drayden called for Giga Impact, and Krom told the Oozaru to stop going easy on the dragon. Drayden was confused, and Krom couldn't wait to see what the ape could do. The dragon flew through the air, cloaked in a swirling cloak of powerful energy. The Infernape floated in the air, eyes closed. The dragon neared, and the ape's eyes shot open. He jumped over the dragon, landing on the ground. The dragon spun, landing on his feet.

The ape slammed his foot on the ground, and a huge, thick, spiked vine rose from the ground, wrapping around the dragon's arm. Three more stomps followed, the vines wrapping around the dragon and hoisting him into the air. He seemingly danced, the vines flinging the dragon around and pelting him. The Infernape jumped into the air, landing o the other end of the field, by Krom. He released the dragon, who stumbled to his feet. Drayden called for Dragon Rush, the dragon bursting toward the ape. The ape clapped, separating his hand. A bone staff of energy formed, and he slammed it into the skull of the Haxorus. The dragon stumbled back, where the ape rammed the staff into the ground. A vine erupted from the ground, striking the dragon in the face, defeating it. Krom cheered, and the ape smirked. Saria smiled, and Kyouhei clapped. Drayden handed him a badge shaking his hand. Krom smiled, having nine Unovan gym badges.

Elsewhere, in Aspertia, up on a hill in the dark, Simba looked down at the town. The cross bearers went about their business, using Halflings as slaves, which angered Simba. Rex growled, and Vraccas grunted. The three laughed, jumping from the hill, charging into the city. Rex brandished his mace, and Simba drew his blade. Vraccas growled, his claws thick and powerful. The three erupted in the town roaring, Rex slamming his mace into the skull of a pedestrian. Simba drew his blade, slicing through innocent souls. Vraccas grunted, slamming his tail into a house, watching it crumble to the ground. The three laughed, beginning their uprising.

Rex used Dark Pulse, shooting rings of darkness from his maw. He swung his mace, planting into the skull of a man who stood in front of his wife, whose skull was crushed by Vraccas' tail. The two worked together, Simba having disappeared. Rex rammed his mace into the skull of a Machamp, using Flamethrower on a house, which caught flame. Vraccas used Earth Power, his godly powers leveling the town. A huge cross was atop the church in the city, as the Westborough Baptist Church took Aspertia for their Unovan base. Rex stepped ion a Lillipup, Vraccas Dragon Clawing the Pokemon School.

Simba sliced through a priest, silencing a screaming woman with his blade. He rammed his blade into the chest of a man who tried to stop him. He spun, slicing through six Zoroark who were sent at him. He used Thunderbolt, cloaking himself in electricity as he sliced through the walls, killing everyone in his path. A sick sense of pleasure filled him at the thought of reclaiming Aspertia City, home of many Halflings.

Rex grunted, taking a Focus blast from an Ursaring, and he retaliated with Hammer Arm, crushing the chest of the bear. He spun, planting his mace into an airborne Raichu, coming down on a Dewott. Vraccas parried with three Bisharp, smirk on his face. He used Dragon Claw, crushing the chest of one, Iron Tailing another, ending the third with Stone Edge. A police Officer screamed at him, her cross shinning in the light. He Hyper Beamed her, Rex laughing while using Ice Beam. Thy still couldn't find Simba, and Rex growled. "Why does that cat keep going missin'?" he roared, slamming his mace through a line of children. Vraccas kicked a cross bearing child, roaring. "Don't ask me. He's doing something important." he yelled, kicking another child. The cross bearers sent out children to question their humanity. The children now littered the ground, war killing their humanity.

The tow continued on, battling hundreds of people and Pokemon without Simba. Everyone fought hard to protect their town, sending out the Halfling slaves next. Rex and Vraccas couldn't bring themselves to kill Halflings like this. The Halflings began their attack when a huge roar made everyone turn to see Simba Lionheart holding former Aspertia City Gym Leader, Cheren.

Simba was beastly, having fully shifted. Special Halfling through training can achieve an even more Pokemon form called the Therian form. Simba had taken his Therian form, head of a Luxray, body of a man, fur of Luxray, hand of man, claw of Luxray, and foot of both. He held Cheren up, and the natives froze. "Surrender now!" he roared, and the called off the Halflings. "Halfling brothers and sisters! You are no longer slaves! I have freed you from the shackles of oppression! Take your revenge how you see fit!" he roared, and the Halflings growled. Collars and other shackles snapped from their bodies, Vraccas using Psychic.

The Halflings tore into the townsfolk, chaos spreading through the town. Halflings burned buildings, tore children into shreds, destroyed crosses and had their way with the woman. Simba laughed. "The Hitoawa would shed a tear at this shit." he said, mentioning the clan's loving of raids. He jumped down, swinging his mighty claws, killing seven more humans. He peeled human men from a Lopunny Halfling, snapping their necks. He helped her up, winking before continuing on, using Cheren as a weapon. He swung the leader, smashing through his foes. He laughed, eyes burning with flame.

When all was said and done, Aspertia City became a Halfling settlement, renamed Burnt Cross town. Halfling cheered, human slaves crying to Arceus. Simba laughed, standing on to of the hill, holding a camera in hand. He couldn't wait to show the league this.

'Why'd you grab Cheren?" Rex asked. Simba laughed. "Because. Cheren's last name is Westborough. His father is Pope Westborough, who's stationed in Ecruteak, likely because he was scared of us. However, I have my spies even in the Pope's court." he said, laughing at Cheren, who screamed at him from his position crucified over a fire.
