Simba walked into the meeting, smirk on his face. He had just finished speaking to Krom, and Alder had joined him. The trainer was surprised to see them, and was a little shocked to hear he was champion of a region he has never seen. Krom wanted to continue on his journey, and Simba told him that his badges were not nullified due to the new gyms, and that he could have a substitute. Krom nodded, telling Simba to have someone be his substitute. He wanted to journey, and only would be required to stop if the sub lost, which Krom hoped wouldn't happen. Simba and Alder had smiled and left, bidding their farewells. He sat down, and Alder watched his foster father. Kurai was intrigued as to what the Halfling spoke to Krom about, and he took a deep breath.
"I have spoken to Krom Hitoawa." he said, looking at Cynthia, who still sat in Krom's seat "He has agreed to allow a substitute to be champion in his place, until he reaches Sinnoh on his own terms." he stated. Simba chuckled. "Alder was there himself when I made the decision, and he approves of it. As of now, Colress Akuroma is temporary Sinnoh League Champion." he said, and the leaders were in an uproar. "He's an international criminal, and prison to top it off!" Skyla roared. Simba laughed. "You've been in the dark. Colress Akuroma was freed by an unnamed person, and immediately went to work on a special project. Once finished, he left, and was under my control the whole time, from the moment he left the prison. And, to top it all off, he's on his way to Sinnoh now." he stated, and Gary froze.
Simba smiled at the Viridian leader, having stated that he had Colress as a spy. The Mewtwo project wasn't leaked; it was made under the lion's paw. Simba chuckled. Cynthia frowned. "I'm still here. He is not. How is he going to represent us from Sinnoh?" she asked, and he smiled. He stood slowly, walking over to Cynthia's chair. The expensive wheeled office chair came into the grasp of the Luxray, who wheeled it out the window. As Alder's official league building was on top of a mountain, everyone else knew what fate befell Cynthia. Simba sat down slowly. He smiled at the group, and laughed. "As we need a representative for Krom, Colress his in region rep, I have selected from amongst Pinwheel Village's population for his meeting rep." he stated, and the doors glew pink before coming open. Nearly everyone's jaw slammed into the floor at the sight of the second representative of Krom Hitoawa.
She was what legends would call a centaur, as she had the body of a woman with long, shinning silver and gold streaked hair that covered her chest, and piercing red eyes. From the human waist down, she had the body of a horse. One gold toe was on each foot, and a short almost flesh like tail came from her tailbone. The body was lithe and gray. And Simba smirked as they noticed her most recognizable feature. Unusual gold rings were around her waist, red gems inset into them. Simba turned to them all. "Meet Sinnoh League rep number two, Aracion Arukias, better known as Amy, daughter of Arceus." he said, and she rolled her eyes. She walked over to where Cynthia sat, and folded her arms. "I told you not to call me that. You know how much I hate that name." she said, growling at Simba. "Not my fault you can't stand your father." he said, shrugging. She grunted. "Whatever. Can we get on with this shit?" she said, and Simba gasped.
"Such vulgarity from the daughter of Arceus! You should be ashamed!" he called out sarcastically, and she frowned. "And you're a shaman, whose mother was a Pokemon, and whose father was a scientist. Explain that." she said, and Simba chuckled. "Simple. Its all about nurture, not nature. If you raise I like a Golduck, and train it like a Golduck, and it acts like a Golduck, what is it?" he asked. Alder laughed. "A Torterra." he said, and Simba chuckled. "See what I mean! Just because I'm a shaman warrior doesn't mean I don't have scientific skill." he said. She sighed. "And just because Arceus is my father, that doesn't mean I have to have a huge ego and annihilate anything that doesn't bow to me." she stated. Simba laughed. "Although, you did kill that one dude for not bowing down to you." he said. "I didn't kill him. I just hurt him too much." she stated, folding her arms.
They met the next day, after Ishron and Simba had spoken to Krom. He laughed at the leaders as the came in. "What's up my bitches?" he asked. Most frowned. He laughed, watching Amy take her place. "Alright. First thing is first. Krom wants to make the trade of Halflings illegal. They are no longer slaves, and can't be hunted, killed, skinned, eaten, turned into furniture, clothing, rugs and the like. Remember who you're dealing with." he stated. He saw Volkner frown, as if he was angered by the statement. Simba clenched his fists, but remained calm. "Any objections?" Kurai asked. The converted leaders all erupted, the champions with them. The converted outnumbered the unconverted, and as such, the law was denied. Simba laughed. He couldn't wait to tell Krom this.
Krom Hitoawa was enraged. He had just made it through Reversal Mountain, and offered food and blood at the Abundant Shrine, which was made to worship Vraccas' father, Landorus the Womb-Maker. Ishron sighed. "I knew it wasn't going to happen. It's never going to change." he said, ears dropped. Krom tilted his had. "It should change. It's wrong. Halflings are people too." he said. Krom clenched his fists. He remembered the tale Ishron had told him, as it kept him up at night. He thought back to the tale, and growled.
Ishron spoke of it like a nightmare. He remembered a young girl he made friends with in Sinnoh, a Shiftry Halfling named Kunoichi. They had become great friends, and his master decided to take it out on him slowly. He made Ishron watched as he had his way with her, then skinned her alive. He made him watch as her flesh was stripped from her bones. Her bones were broken in pieces, and discarded. Her flesh was prepared, packaged and sold. He was held down and force fed her flesh. Her skin was turned into a leather covering for a walking stick, and her long white hair was turned into a pair of boots, which his daughter wore. She trudged in so much mud; you'd never know her hair was white. The stick that had her skin on it belonged to their master, and he struck Ishron with it every day, and berated him while doing it. Ishron had snapped, and broke out but weeks later. He tore the daughter to shreds, and buried the boots beneath a tree in Eterna Forest. He made it to Unova, and shoved the thought to the back of his mind. It scarred him, and Krom was just as angered by the story as Simba was.
Krom wanted to end such horrors, and didn't like how it was all legal in Sinnoh, so long as you wore a cross around your neck. Ishron was crushed, and turned into the skittish young Halfling he was today. Krom growled, telling Simba to use any means necessary to ensure that when he arrived in Sinnoh, he met Halflings on good terms. Simba laughed, saying this. "I'd walk into Sinnoh disguised as a cross bearer and buy slaves, bring 'em home, and set 'em free. I've done it before too. Although, Sinnoh wasn't as brutal when I was younger." he stated, remembering his only trip to Sinnoh. He had found Sable there, and bought her and then freed her. A few of the spies he has are Sinnoh natives. Even Marvin was a Sinnoh native Pokemon, as was he. He didn't remember where he was born; just that he grew up in Pinwheel. He bode Krom farewell, off to enforce the law of the hammer.
The next meeting was very amusing o the lion. He used Colress' name as much as possible, angering Gary with each use of it. Homika strummed her new bass furiously, and Simba smelt blood, as she tore her fingers open. After the vote came up again, the same result came about. Kurai, Simba, Alder and Vraccas, who was now Vinci's new bodyguard, all agreed with Krom. Simba wanted to mess with the heads of the Sinnoh leaders. "Why don't we ask the daughter of Arceus what she thinks?" he asked, and Homika chuckled. Amy shrugged. "If Sinnoh is anything like my father has shown me, I'm against ya Simba. But, seeing as my father exaggerates everything, and I trust you more, I'm with ya." she said, shrugging. Simba smiled. The Sinnoh leaders, along with the other converted leaders became unnerved.
'Dare you challenge the daughter of Arceus?" he asked, and they all grumbled. Volkner shot to his feet. "She is an imposter! For all we know, she could be a Zoroark in disguise, or a Ditto!" he yelled, and Simba chuckled. "Amy, show the fucker." he said. She grunted, closing her eyes. Her rings glew, and sixteen small, tablet like plates floated around her. She rotated them around her, her coloration changing with each one. They all became one plate, then floated back into her body. "What I say? Authentic as fuck." Simba chuckled. Volkner still doubted, and Simba rolled his eyes. "Why would any living creature choose to take the form of the biggest fake in history?" he asked. Most of the leaders agreed, and Volkner growled.
Halfway through the meeting, Gary excused himself for a phone call. When he returned, he held a smile on his face, and Simba smiled just as large. He chuckled, passing the time until the meeting ended. Once it did, he followed the Viridian leader out of the building, laughing as he watched him climb into a limo. Amy walked up next to him, and sighed. "He needs to go. I really would like to kill him. Would that be too Arceus-y of me?" she asked. Simba chuckled. "Arceus-y? Is that even a word?" he asked, and she shrugged. "It is because I say it is." she said. Simba laughed. "Now that was very Arceus-y of you." he said, and she grunted.
The dwarf had used Saria to show everyone what he saw in the flame. Everyone was in shock at the sights of bodies flying, mountains shaking, and cracking, and brutal bloody battle. Everyone trained harder than ever, and Castle Face stopped his bitching. Kyouhei decided to evolve Puppy, and Kooky handed him the Fire Stone to do it. The Arcanine stayed with the name Puppy, and was easier to train with. He was around ten feet tall on his hind legs, and Jack chuckled. Z worked on his combat skills, and The Oozaru trained Rafiki, teaching him his own version of Supernova. Everyone put in extreme work, and even Krom and Kyouhei nearly collapsed from exhaustion. They used the next few days to rest and relax, and were ready for anything.
Krom decided to leave Lentimas town, as they had arrived nearly a week prior. Simba had told him to keep an extra eye out, as he heard about a group of extremists. There was something in the Halfling's voice that said it was more than that. They walked out of Lentimas. Once they reached the borders of the town, a Mewtwo appeared from nowhere, and growled at them.
Gary smiled. The Mewtwo was incredibly powerful, and more intimidating. His tail and eyes were a sharp piercing green, and his body held black Tribal markings across it's body, Mr. Fuji's signature. He laughed, not remembering the words Simba spoke to him. The league watched Krom live, from many places. The cameramen were using Pokemon to keep themselves in place. They watched Krom and everyone back up, the dwarf standing his ground.
Granitwarf frowned up at the seven foot three cat. 'Are you Granitwarf?" it asked, baritone voice thudding in the dwarf's head. The dwarf nodded. "I was made to kill you, and then everyone else you travel with after words." he stated. The dwarf frowned. "You don't even fucking think about it. I'll fuck you up if you try it." he said. The Mewtwo frowned. "I already have. I feel uncomfortable battling such a small foe. Can you increase your size? Not that it will matter" he stated, and Granitwarf sighed, using Bulk Up to increase his size to six feet tall. "That's all I'm doing, bitch. Now, are you come over here to get fucked up or what?" he asked, The Mewtwo burst forth, swinging his green cloaked fist. Granitwarf leaned back, uppercutting the cat with his hammer. The cat spun, floating in the air. It growled, it's eyes glowing red, and markings glowing.
Simba laughed. He had spoken to Bishop. Bishop was to send three of his Pawniard to the battlefield after the battle ended, and help out with any injuries and deaths. At least that's what he told Bishop. Although, he wondered how Kooky felt about all this.
The dwarf grunted, being shoved back with a Blaze Kick. He swung his hammer, the cat avoiding it. The cat kneed him in the chest, and he flew back. He rolled, landing on his feet. He frowned at the cat. He flung the hammer, and the Pokemon merely floated to the side. Granitwarf burst forth, Ice Punching the cat in the chest. The cat stumbled back, the shockwave destroying the Poke-Center. People ran about, screaming in fear of the two powerhouses. The Mewtwo used Dark Pulse, the rings tearing into the town's fertile soil. The dwarf used Flamethrower, spewing hot flames at the cat. The attacks clashed, the explosion destroying more of the town. Mewtwo stomped the corpse of a child, using Hidden Power. The move came at the dwarf too quick for him to determine it's type.
He grunted, struck by the balls of energy. He used Dark Pulse himself, shooting the rings from his hands. The Mewtwo floated around them, shooting an Ice Beam at the dwarf, who retaliated with a Flamethrower. They both growled, not about to let the other win.
