Krom made the first move, calling for the Sigilyph to use Cosmic Power. Tobias called for Flamethrower, and the avian Pokémon avoided, it's attack cancelled. Krom called for Imprison, and the Avianoid called out, and a cage of energy surrounded the Heatran, then disappeared. Tobias frowned, calling for Dark Pulse. But, the Heatran didn't use it. "Imprison prevents your Heatran from using any of the moves my Sigilyph knows. And, Dark Pulse is one of them." He said. Tobias growled, calling for Flash Cannon. The spider launched the beam of light, and Krom called for Roost. The Sigilyph hit the ground softly, avoiding the attack with ease. Krom called for Taunt, and the avianoid spun around mockingly, egging the Heatran on. The Heatran huffed, and used Magma Storm.
Glyph dodged, and Krom called for Hypnosis. The avianoid closed in, trying to lock eyes with the Heatran. Tobias called for Mama Storm, and the flame brewed at the maw of the Heatran, and the Sigilyph stopped. Using Hypnosis, the Heatran slowly fell asleep, launching the attack the last second. The Sigilyph grunt, struck and flying back. Tobias growled, calling for the Pokémon to use Sleep Talk. While asleep, the Pokémon groggily used Magma Storm, shooting the whirlwind of flame at Glyph. Glyph moved to dodge, but the second effect of Magma Storm activated. Flame cloaked Glyph, stopping his movement, making him vulnerable to the attack. He was struck, and hit the ground defeated. Krom returned the Pokémon, waiting for the Heatran to awaken.
When she did, she blinked, and yawned. She walked around, smiling at the rest she got. Walking over, she turned around, now on Krom's side of the field. Krom smirked, and rose a brow mockingly. "I chose my Pokémon, where is yours?" he asked. Growling, Tobias sent out a Latios, angered by the betrayal of his Heatran. He called for Thunderbolt, and Krom called for Dragon Pulse. The Heatran opened her mouth, firing a blue shockwave that dissipated the incoming Thunderbolt. Krom called for Dark Pulse, and the rings shot from the mouth of the Heatran. Tobias called for Light Screen, and the already high defense of Latios increased nearly twofold. Krom cursed, and blinked.
He called for Iron Head, and the spider surged forward, her unique legs propelling her at high speed. She slammed head first into the Latios, and Tobias called for Luster Purge. The Latios opened his maw, a ball of pink energy forming. Krom called for Dark Pulse, and the Heatran fired the rings, striking the mouth of the Latios and rupturing the energy ball. An explosion rang out, and the Latios fell defeated. Tobias growled, returning Latios and sending out a Cresselia.
Krom frowned. A third legendary Pokémon? Was that even legal? Krom frowned, calling for Dark Pulse. Tobias smirked, calling for Light Screen. The attack did very little damage, Cresselia's bulk enhanced by the screen of light that nearly made her immune to the attack. Krom hummed, wondering what he could do. He called for Toxic, and Tobias called for Safeguard. Krom cursed, as the shining energy prevented his Toxic from working. Krom hummed, looking the Pokémon over. Tobias called for Calm Mind once more, and Krom tilted his head. He called for Crunch, and he told the Pokémon to aim at Cresselia's odd tail.
The Pokémon moved quick, and the mouse faced Pokémon spun, and unleashed a Charge Beam on command. Krom called for Protect, and the Heatran moved forward while in the barrier. Avoiding damage, the Pokémon clamped down hard on the tail of Cresselia, who called out in pain. She swung the Pokémon about, and brewed flame at her maw. Krom called for Magma Storm, and the Heatran unleashed the attack, scorching the Cresselia. She released the mouse faced Pokémon, who hit the ground, but floated back up, and was cloaked in flame from the attack. Krom called for Heatran to not let up, and issued a command of Dragon Pulse.
Heatran shot a burst of energy from her maw, and struck Cresselia. Tobias returned the injured Pokémon, and Krom frowned. He sent out a Latias, and Krom scowled. The appearance of Tobias' fourth legendary Pokémon made Krom wondered if he should have caught Palkia and Lugia instead of killing them. He shrugged it off, calling for Crunch once more. The spider like Pokémon shot forward, and Tobias called for Reflect. The barrier encased Latias, reducing the damage she took from physical attacks greatly. Krom growled, and wondered what attack Heatran could use to defeat the defensive foes. Krom laughed, and called for Taunt.
The Heatran strut about, taunting her foes. The Latias growled, unable to use anything other than offensive attacks. Cursing, Tobias called for Surf. The Latias roared, summoning a huge tidal wave from the ground, and hurtling toward the Heatran. Krom smirked, calling for Protect, protecting the Pokémon from the attack. The Reflect and Light Screen faded, as did Safeguard, leaving the Pokémon extremely vulnerable. Krom called for Payback, utilizing Heatran's low speed to his advantage. The spider surged forward, ramming into the dragon, who called out as she fell defeated. Tobias growled, sending Cresselia back out.
Krom noticed something different about the Cresselia. On her back was a Salac Berry. Krom frowned, noticing the berry was meant to make Pokémon faster. He thought about it, and pointed at the berry. "Eat that berry!" he called, and the Heatran surged forward. Tobias called for the Cresselia to use Ice Beam and freeze the spider, but Krom had other plans. He called for an attack many would forget Heatran could learn. "Don't give in! Use Bug Bite!" he called. Tobias was caught off guard, and Heatran sped around the beam of ice. She jumped, slamming into the Cresselia and pinning her to the ground. She bit her repeatedly, tearing flesh and skin. She clamped down on the berry, eating it and making herself faster in the process.
Krom called for Crunch, and the Heatran came down, a final bite snapping the neck of the Cresselia. He growled, returning the Pokémon and sending out a fifth Pokémon, a Genesect. The sparkling cannon and metal caused Krom to hum, and he called the Heatran back. Not having a Pokeball, the Pokémon walked to Krom's side, and Krom sent out Warriorf. The dwarf yawned, having just awoken from a nap at Krom's side, and then he saw it. The cannon. He roared, speaking in the Pokémon tongue. "YES! YOUR CANNON! IT IS MINE!" He roared, surging forward with Flare Blitz. He slammed into the bug, who called out as it hit the ground. The dwarf rolled the bug, grabbing the cannon and tearing it off. He pointed the cannon at the back of the bugs head. "Any last words?" he asked, and the bug raised a claw as if to speak. Unfortunately, Warriorf fired the cannon and blew the Pokémon's head into pieces. He blinked. "Oops. That wasn't supposed to happen so quickly." He said, shrugging as he took the cannon and walked back to his place. Tobias growled, and sent out his final Pokémon, a Darkrai. Warriorf froze, dropping the cannon immediately.
He burst forth, Brick Breaking the Darkrai, who grunted as it stumbled back. Tobias called for Dark Void, and Krom called for Protect. The Darkrai launched one ball of energy, and Krom found this odd. It hit the barrier, and faded away. Warriorf used ExtremeSpeed, ending up behind the Darkrai, who spun in shock. Tobias called for Focus Blast, and Krom called for DynamicPunch. The dwarf swung his fist, striking the Darkrai, and an explosion rung out. When the dust cleared, the Darkrai was jiggling. Warriorf found this odd. Krom called for Brick Break, and the dwarf struck. The Darkrai hit the ground, turning pink and shrinking. Krom gaped in absolute shock.
The mighty undefeatable Tobias' Darkrai of Sinnoh was truthfully a Ditto in disguise. Krom face palmed. Of course, why hadn't he thought of that sooner. Tobias was in shock, and stumbled back. The audience gasped, followed by chants of 'fuckfaced phony'. Well, that's not how Krom would have put it exactly, but it was close. Tobias was defeated, and Krom was declared the winner. He smirked, walking off with his new purple eyed Heatran. He made it back to his room, deciding whether or not to kill Tobias. He asked the dwarf, who shrugged. He turned to the Heatran, and she sighed.
"He has had enough. That Darkrai scam was his life, and you've ruined it. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed himself by morning." She said telepathically. Krom nodded. "Well, we'll check on him in a few hours. You know, like a good opponent would." He said, smiling as he dozed. When he did wake, it was nearly morning. Krom rose, heading to Tobias' room. The Heatran had been kind enough to lead him there, and he thanked her. When he entered the room, he smiled. Tobias hung from a ceiling fan, a noose tight around his neck. He rubbed his chin, and looked to the Heatran. "What do you think? Do we leave him?" he asked, and she shook her head. "No. Take him away. Do what you will with his body. I could never stand him anyway. And besides, I'm sure you can make use of Latias and Latios, as Darkrai is a Ditto, Genesect and Cresselia are dead, and I'm here." She said dismissively.
Krom smiled, using his claws to slice through the rope. He dragged the body back to his room, where he dropped him in front of the dwarf. "I want you to do something special with him. I want you to make a hat from his hair, one for an infant. Make at least two. If possible, make shoes for young children from his skin, and a lot of them. I don't want to have to buy shoes. Too complicated of a process, especially with women." He said, and the Heatran scoffed. He turned to her. "What? It'll be easier in arguments. You know, Daddy and Uncle Warriorf skinned this bitch for you, so wear his skin on your feet. If not, then buy your own shoes with your own money." He said, chuckling. The Heatran rolled her eyes, sitting down in the corner of the room. Krom looked to her.
"Do you have a name?" He asked. She sighed. "My wild name was Shinning Gaze, as I was brighter than the rest of my tribe, and had purple eyes." She stated. He nodded. "I see. Would you like a nickname of some sort?" he asked. She sighed. "I would be alright with it. Something other than Heatran will do." She said. Krom smiled. "Good. From here on out, I'll call you Hinata, after one of my ancestors." He said. The Heatran smiled. "Hinata. I like the sound of it, along with the meaning. Thank You." She said, smiling. Krom smiled back, nodding. Krom now had a new addition to the team, and one he was sure Saria and Homika would love.
Simba laughed hysterically as he held the open box in his hands. Saria and Homika sat at the table, and blinked. "What is it?" Homika asked. Simba placed the box down. Inside were five pairs of small shoes, designed for infants and toddlers. "He made Tobias into fucking shoes!" he laughed. Saria giggled. "I think they're cute." She said, holding a pair in her hands. Simba laughed louder. "This gives 'walk all over your enemies' a new meaning." He laughed, and the girls rolled their eyes. Laughing, he looked at the letter Alder sent him. "If this is right, Krom's last opponent will be Burgundy." He said. Homika growled. "I hate that shitfaced whore. Make sure Krom gives that bitch what she deserves. Have him make a vest out of her for me." She seethed, and Simba blinked, but nodded.
Simba hummed. "Homika will have Tyson-skin bandoliers, Hyuu-skin gloves, Barry-skin poncho, Conway-skin Leg warmers, Burgundy-skin vest and her children will have Tobias-skin shoes. Well, that takes a page from someone's book, but who's?" he asked, remembering another figure who would skin their enemies or prisoners.
Krom yawned, rising for his final battle. If he was victorious, he would go on to fight the elite Four, and then Iris Ketchum herself. He wondered if his Pokémon were ready for it, but he was confident in their abilities. Each was trained specifically, and had unique abilities that others of their species didn't. Jack and Puppy could stand up on two legs, which Krom found cool. Rocky was trained to transform from a hefty rock spider into a lean rock warrior. His Pokémon were amazing, and he loved every one of them. He chuckled, noting how his Unovan journey lasted longer than he would've thought, but was a lot more fun.
Although, Krom had to say, the thing he expected the least was that he was the son of Zekrom. The son of Zekrom, who, at twelve years old, was Sinnoh Champion, soon to be Unovan Champion and husband of two beautiful Halflings, and a soon to be father. He laughed, walking up to the stand for the final battle of the tournament. The Elite Four were in attendance, and Krom wanted to make sure they knew he was coming. Burgundy screamed something in french, sending out a Sawsbuck. Krom looked at the ball in his hand. The ball contained Spots, who he had not seen nor heard from for months. He threw the ball, not knowing what to expect.
