I was hoping that the other 3 reviewers would review again. Oh, well. Only Paladin Dragoon reviewed. In this chapter Tom's identity will be revealed: How does he know Matt? Suspense... suspense...

Matt ran up to it, "Graveler, y-you evolved to save me... You jumped into the way and acted as a shield..."
Tom smiled unkindly, "Your Geodude evolved to save you from the blast. Unfortunately, it also fainted. So that means you lose." He returned Dustox into its Pokeball.
Harmony grew angry, "Tom!!" Both Matt and Tom looked at her with confused expressions. "Harmony?" Matt said.
"Tom, don't you have a heart?! Graveler lost the battle just to save its trainer! And all you care about is the stupid battle! Winning or losing isn't the heart of the matter. It's the lessons you learn. From those lessons, you learn about courage and bravery. You learn the mistakes... like not battling a Girafirig with a Blaziken..."
Matt chuckled to himself at that.
"That's enough, Harmony." Matt simply said, interrupting her speech. "Huh?" Harmony wondered.
"Tom isn't going to listen to you no matter how hard you try. Tom has always been stubborn."
"But, Matt--"
"No 'buts' , Harmony."
Tom started to walk away, Dustox's Pokeball in hand, "We can finish this battle later, Matt. After all, I know where you live." He said the last part with a hint of hatefulness.
After Tom left, Harmony ran up to the depressed Matt, "Matt, are you alright?" He nodded, "I'm fine. But... but Tom beat me! I lost, Harmony! I lost!"
" I understand how you feel, Matt. But there is one thing I'm curious about. When Tom said he knew where you lived--"
Matt interrupted her, "Harmony, he's my brother." Harmony gasped, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.."
"It's OK. When he left for his Pokemon journey 6 years ago, I was only 9 years old. From that moment on, I vowed to go on my journey when I turned 10 and beat him. That was 5 years ago. And to this day, I haven't won a battle against him yet. That makes the eighth time I lost against him." He growled in frustration.
They walked for another 30 minutes when they ran into a wild Zubat. "Go, Pelipper!" Harmony shouted, "Shoot it down with a Water Gun!" The Zubat fell easily. Harmony decided not to catch it since it was weak. They decided to rest after that. They both sat down, tired from the long walk.
They never expected someone to say, "I challenge you to a Pokemon battle, Harmony!" Harmony stood up, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
The owner walked into the light. He obviously didn't want to be identified because he was hidden underneath a heavy brown cloak.
He said, "You can call me Anonymous,or Anon for short.[1] Who wouldn't know your name? It was plastered all over TV when you caught Kyogre in Sootopolis City."
Matt shouted, shocked, "You caught Kyogre, Harmony?!?"
Anon nodded. He looked at Matt... with a hint of jealousy. Anon turned to Harmony, "Did you bring it with you?" Harmony said, "No, I didn't... Mr. Anonymous." Anon took out a Pokeball, "Shall we let our battle commence?"
"Go, Swampert!" Harmony shouted. Anon sent out Linoone, "Use your Headbutt!" Swampert dogded it and used an Earthquake attack. Linoone was shaken. "Swampert, finish it off with a Mudshot!"
"Linoone!" The brown and white Pokemon cried as it fainted.
Harmony returned Swampert. Anon sent out his Altaria and Harmony sent out her Swellow.
"Altaria, Dragon Breath!"
"Swellow, dogde with Quick Attack!" Altaria powered up with Dragon Dance. Swellow took the opportunity and flew towards it with an Aerial Ace. Altaria fainted.
Anon growled as he returned Altaria and sent out his last Pokemon, Golem, "Rollout!" Swellow fell.
Harmony returned Swellow and sent Pelipper to the field.
"Golem, use your Rock Throw!"
"Dogde it, Pelipper! Water Gun!" Pelipper dogded some and it shot the ones it couldn't dogde with Water Gun. It then quickly finished Golem off with a Hydro Pump.
Anon had lost. He put the Pokeball back into his belt, "You win, Harmony. You still are a strong trainer. I must make my leave now. We will meet again someday." He left as quickly as he appeared.
"Who was that, Harmony? Do you know him?"
Harmony didn't say anything. She didn't even acknowledge that she heard him. *Who was that? His voice... I-It sounded familiar...* She gasped, "It sounded like... Zac!"

Ah, a cliffhanger... well good news! Since we have Spring Break all next week, I can, if you want me to, get another chapter up and running in a few days(less than a week)!
And if I have any mistakes in attacks, types, etc. I cannot check to make sure because someone accidentily dropped my GBA and now it won't work. That means I cannot play my Sapphire and correct them. I'm hoping to get a GBA SP soon and since I was planning on getting one anyway, why not now? LOL. Remember, review and I may post the next chapter sooner that you think!
[1] The name Anonymous refers to the Dragonball episode "Anonymous Proposal" When I was writing this part, I was thinking about it. Really, if you're a DB fan this is a must-see episode!
