The sun had set, and Krom and co. hit Solaceon City. Rafiki started the raid, striking a building with Flamethrower. Krom ran forward, and the raid had begun.

People ran screaming from the building Rafiki burned, only to run into the baboon's elbows. Krom swung his blade, killing a would-be savior with one swipe. Warriorf swung his hammer, striking the Poke-Center. The building crumbled, and the screams of terror from inside the building were more than enough to tell Warriorf he succeeded. He spun to Dark Pulse a heroic Gallade, the Pokemon flying back. Kyouhei giggled, throwing his leg out and severing the Pokemon's brain stem with a kick. The golden eyed boy jumped to the side. Being evil never felt so good.

Castle Face stumbled upon the Day Care first, grumbling at his luck. He used Flash Cannon, blasting the doors open. He walked inside, seeing the elderly couple at the desk. He grunted, using Hyper Beam to kill them. He blew the wall out, and all the Day Care Pokemon ran free. Castle Face looked at the wall, and then he looked down. He saw a staircase, and shrugged. "Might as fucking well, and besides, who's gonna stop me?" he grumbled. He walked down the stairs, grumbling at how steep they were.

"Mother fucking steep ass steps! They're fucking trying to kill my old ass!" he grumbled, making it to the bottom. He looked at what he saw, and frowned. He saw women in cages, and some were pregnant. He found it odd that the cross bearers would hold women captive, much less pregnant ones. He looked about, noticing some cages holding human men, and even more holding Pokemon. He frowned, his mind forming a sick idea. He slammed his foot down, angered. He roared loudly, so loudly, that the cages shattered, and the captive beings stood in shock. He growled, knowing that there was a priest in town. He would pay for this.

He stomped up the stairs, coming into contact with Gram. "What happened?" the tattooed Haxorus asked, launching a Dragon Pulse. Castle Face growled, launching a huge Flash Cannon. "I found a Halfling breeding facility." he growled out. Gram froze. "A what?" he asked. Castle Face growled, launching an Ice Beam. "A place where they breed Halflings to be slaves!" he roared, barreling forward. He hit the center of the city, and roared. He unleashed Earthquake, followed by Earth Power. The combination attack leveled the city. Building tore away from their foundations, and he growled. He saw a black clad figure running, and he growled.

He ran to Mahmut, and leapt into the air. He landed on the mammoth's back, and growled as the Pokemon grunted. "Move your huge ass!" he roared, and the mammoth ran forward. Krom laughed, spinning to decapitate a Rampardos. The mammoth roared, using ExtremeSpeed. They caught up with the fleeing priest quickly, and Castle Face patted Mahmut. "Sorry about this fat ass." he said. The mammoth blinked, and Castle Face leapt from the mammoth.

Castle Face grabbed Mahmut by the tusk, and swung him like a club. The mammoth screamed in shock, and slammed into the ground. The Bastiodon rolled the mammoth, seeing the dead priest in his fur. "See. That wasn't so bad." he said. Mahmut grunted. "Easy for you to say. You weren't used as a club." he groaned, shaking the body from his fur. The Bastiodon laughed. "Come on, let's go." he said, and they walked back to the group.

Castle Face expected cheers when he returned, but was met with chuckles. "What? Fuck you all!" he yelled, grumbling. Blutvinna smiled. "You have something in your hair." he said. Castle Face blinked. "What hair?" he asked. The eagle rolled his eyes, flying over to pull something off the Bastiodon. He placed a Pichu down in front of the Bastiodon. Castle Face blinked. "What the fuck is that thing!?" he called, stepping back. The Pokemon smiled, running up onto the beast. He grumbled. "Where'd you find him?" Blutvinna asked.

"The little fucker followed me!" he yelled. The look on the eagle's face said he didn't believe him. Castle Face grumbled. He looked to Mahmut, who had been making weird noises. "The fuck is up with you?" he grumbled. The mammoth shrugged. Blutvinna laughed. "And what do you have on your tusk?" he asked. The mammoth looked at his tusk and tilted his head. He shook his tusks, and whatever it was came off. It landed, and began to dance about. Blutvinna laughed. "A green Totodile. Very interesting." he said. The alligator laughed, dancing about. Mahmut shook his head. "I'll call it… Boris!" he said, laughing. The alligator chuckled, hopping onto the mammoth's tusk. Krom walked over. "I see you two found Pokemon. Good. Make sure you take care of them." he said, and Castle Face gaped.

"But it fucking followed me! How the fuck is a fucking hillbilly Bastiodon supposed to care for a freaking mouse!? GET BACK HERE!" he screamed, angered. Grumbling, he looked upwards toward the mouse. "Emolga, take care of it. Call it what you want." he grumbled walking along. Emolga looked at the small mouse, smiling. "I'll call you Jerry! Make sure to be a good Pichu for me, okay?" she said, and the mouse nodded. Castle Face was still fuming.

The two huge Pokemon walked beside Krom and Warriorf. Krom pulled his Pokedex out. He scanned the Totodile. "Totodile. Ability: Sheer Force. Moves: Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Teeter Dance, Bite." the machine stated, and Krom turned to Blutvinna. "Can Totodile learn Teeter Dance?" he asked. The eagle nodded. "Any Pokemon can learn anything if it wants to." he stated. Krom hummed, scanning the mouse. "Pichu. Ability: Lightningrod. Moves: Double Edge, Rollout, Volt Tackle, Iron Tail" it said, and Krom blinked. "That's sounds like Castle Face's kind of move set." he said. The Bastiodon turned to him.

"My kind of move set? My kind of move set is Rage, Snarl, hate everything and shut the fuck up Boris!" he yelled, turning to the alligator. Mahmut frowned. "Don't yell at the fluffy little Pokemon." he said. Mahmut gaped. "HOW IN THE LEFT FUCK DO YOU CALL A FUCKING GATOR FLUFFY!? THAT BITCH HAS SCALES!" he screamed. Mahmut frowned. "He's fluffy if I say he is." he stated, closing his eyes. Castle Face grumbled. "I hate all of this. I want to go the fuck home." he growled. Blutvinna laughed. "Soon my friend. If only to shut you up." he grunted, disliking the complaining Pokemon.

Simba Lionheart walked onto his porch and froze. Halflings littered his yard, all looking incredulously at the scenery. Simba grunted, walking through the crowd. He saw an Unfeazant Halfling bathing a Pidove Halfling, in his bird bath. Simba was about to say that was for birds, but, she was in fact, bathing a bird Halfling. He grumbled, walking out into the streets.

He saw Halflings all about the village, and people confused on their porches. He grumbled, walking over to Saria, who was handing food out. "What is going on?" he asked. Saria shrugged. "It looks like Krom is liberating Sinnoh to me." she said. Simba frowned. He teleported to Krom's location, frowning at the Halfling.

"Hey Simba, what's up?" he asked. Simba frowned. "What's up? Oh nothing, except I have Halflings all over my village. And no one informed me. Do you know what it's like to wake up and find a woman bathing her child in your fucking bird bath?" he asked. Krom shrugged. "No. what is it like?" he asked. Simba frowned. "It's fucking bad! Once you're done with Veilstone, you come home. If you don't, I'm having Alder start the league tournament without you!" he growled out, teleporting away. He teleported back. "Nice Pichu there Castle Face." he said, and left. Said Bastiodon fumed.

He turned to Blutvinna. "What should I do?" he asked. The eagle hummed. "Finish. Take down Veilstone. That will be enough. The shopping center, contest center and Day Care of the region are gone, along with the Halfling Breeding Center. The region will scramble to rebuild bigger and better, and fail. By time those three cities are back to their former glory, you'll be Unova, Sinnoh and likely Kanto Champion. Now, let us finish our quest." he stated. Krom nodded.

Simba frowned. "Alright! Everybody who was liberated from Sinnoh, front and center!" he yelled, and the Halflings slowly filed closer. Simba counted them as fast as he could, counting nearly six hundred Halflings. He grunted. "All of you that are rock Halflings, come with me, we're gonna build some houses for you guys!" he yelled, grumbling.

When it was all said and done, Simba steamed inside. The Halflings were housed and he had explained the rules and laws of the village to them. He headed home, frowning when he closed the door to his private home. Sable smiled at him, and he smiled back. "What wrong?" she asked. He flexed his jaw, trying to remain calm. "What's wrong? Krom Hitoawa is liberating Sinnoh. Whilst I applaud his candor and bravery, I find the fact that this village nearly doubled in size today disheartening. How are you supposed to be a secret civilization when you got a fucking huge ass forest village?" he asked.

Sable shrugged. "What so wrong with being found?" she asked. Simba grunted. "Then we become a tourist attraction. And I swear if I hear one 'Mommy, where do Halflings come from?' from some damn kid, I will have a fucking cow." he grunted. Sable chuckled. 'It's not so bad." she said. He frowned. "Oh sure. Now instead of the Talk kids get, they need two. 'You see honey, when a person and a Pokemon love each other very much" and shit. I do not want to hear that in my village." he grumbled.

She sighed. "You're just too old to understand." she said. He growled. "I'll remember that. Besides, since we aren't on a map, we are a separate nation, away from Unova. Tax free, and tourist free. I like it like that, and so do most of the Halflings here." he said. She sighed. "And if we are on a map?" she asked.

He growled. "Well whoop d fucking do then! I don't give two shits. Trainers will come here like 'Where's the Poke-Center and Poke-mart?' and I'll say, 'Not Fucking here you little shit!" he growled out. She rolled her eyes. "You are overreacting." she said. He nodded. "But of course. Wouldn't you if you had a Pidove Halfling in your fucking bird bath!?" he roared. She rolled her eyes. "It's being used properly. Be happy it wasn't a Muk Halfling." she said. Simba shuddered. "Oh, by Xerneas' horns no. I guess your right. And besides, I made sure to leave some room for a hundred Halflings from Veilstone." he said. Sable frowned. "What If there is more than one hundred?" she asked. Simba froze.

Krom hummed as they sat by the campfire. He always liked the peaceful side of Sinnoh. This is what he wanted as champion. This was why he was raiding the region. He tilted his head, looking at the stars. Blutvinna chuckled. Krom turned tot eh eagle. "You remind me of Thorkrom. He was always stargazing when he had the chance. Although, you are a more vengeful figure." he stated. Krom frowned. "What does that mean?" he asked. Blutvinna looked to the sky. "Crossburner would always bring a giant cross with him, and burn it in the center of town. That's what makes you two different. He planned everything, and struck first. You wait until you've been angered. It makes you better in a way." he said.

Krom grunted. "I have a bad feeling about Veilstone. I'm sure news has spread of the demise of Hearthome and Solaceon, so they'll likely be ready for us. And in massive numbers." he stated, and Blutvinna nodded. "Then summon Birisu. He has the power. Look at all of us. Even if they out numbered us twenty to one, we're powerful enough to win. And besides, we may have allies within the city." he said, smirking. Krom frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked. Blutvinna chuckled. "You shall see. I must be off. I have errands to complete." he said, then flew off into the night sky.

Blutvinna Bludgeonclaw made it to Straiton Gym in the wee hours, smiling as he used Air Cutter to knock the doors down. Cilan was cooking a late night dish, and froze. Blutvinna smiled, and stepped toward the green haired leader. "I see you are heavily scarred. A valiant Pokemon, you must be." he chuckled, nervously. Blutvinna leapt into the air, flying toward Ash's former companion with force. He rolled, striking with his claws. They were blunt, hence the name Bludgeonclaw. They tore into his skin, pulling it instead of tearing. He screamed, and the bird cawed, finishing the task Iris sent him to do.

He flew into Veilstone, landing atop the old galactic Hideout. He looked to his old friend, smiling. "It has been long since we have met, Bludgeonclaw." he said. The Braviary nodded. "But of course. I have come to ask a favor my friend." he said. The younger one looked at him. "Will you aid us in our battle tomorrow? You know exactly what this city has up it's sleeve." he stated. The other Pokemon chuckled. "Very well. Be wary of the Game Corner. Underneath is another Halfling Breeding Lab. Make sure to destroy it." he said. The eagle nodded. "Of course. Farewell, my friend." he said. The other Pokemon nodded. Blutvinna set off, heading back to camp.
