21. Chapter 21

Hello everyone before we start I would like to thank Cold-heart-Angel23 for all of the reviews. I look forward to the reviews, everytime I post a new chapter and some of those reviews help me become a better writer. And to celebrate for the stories one year anniversary. I was hoping to be close to done by now but I was wrong all well.

Next I would like to announce the first ever Pokemon and Dragon Prince Crossover. The Black and White Dragon Prince. I will post the first chapter tomorrow. And I will post a new chapter of The Black and White Dragon Prince after Trainer Of Vesperia and before A Trainer Journey In Grace. But I will work on a few more chapters of The Black and White Dragon Prince, before I post the next chapter of A Trainer Journey In Grace.

Oh and this chapter gets a little violent just so you know. Now onto chapter 21.

Chapter 21

A Zad Day

Oliver P.O.V.

We ran to Nordopolica and got into town just before the sun started to set. But what was bothering me was that there were next to no knights in the city. Even if the town didn't know about the attack there still should have been a lot more knights in the town. "Hmm, not as many knights as I'd have guessed." Raven said to everyone. "Yeah, security looks normal even with all the commotion after the tournament." Rita said to everyone. "It did sound like they had their hands full with monsters that managed to escape." Estelle said to everyone.

"Yeah, but it's too quiet. Especially compared to the checkpoints back at Cados. I think Raven's got it right. The knights are up to something, and I don't like it." Yuri said to everyone. "This must be the calm before the storm." I said to everyone. "Hopefully it won't be a big storm." Ava said to me. "But it looks like we can stay in town, as long as we don't stand out." Karol said to everyone. "So we'll meet with Belius on the evening of the new moon… which happens to be later tonight." Judith said to everyone.

"Then let's go to my home where we can get some sleep and clean ourselves up." Hugo said to everyone. "Works from me. I'm finally gonna be able to get rid of The Don's letter." Raven said to Hugo. "Patty, what are you, Cramorant, and Slowpoke doing hiding over there?" Karol asked Patty, making us all turn to see Patty, Cramorant, hiding behind a building. "Don't you remember? A lot of things happened the last time she was here." Rita said to Karol.

"Come on out. It'll be okay." Judith said to Patty and her Pokemon. "Yeah you're under my protection so you should be fine." Hugo said to Patty. "Is it all right for me to be with you guys for just a little longer?" Patty asked us as she and her Pokemon walked to us. "Huh? Um, sure… we don't don't mind, do we?" Karol asked everyone. "No we don't. Patty you're one of us so no matter where you go or where you are. You're always welcomed to join us." I said placing a hand on one of her shoulders.

"Right… and it'd probably be best if we stuck together until we left town." Estelle said to Patty. "I have a feeling that even if we parted ways here, we'd still end up meeting again real soon." Patty said to everyone. "That's what's been happening so far." I said to Patty. "So basically there's no difference between us being together or not." Patty said to everyone. "I really don't get that logic." Rita said to Patty. "I'm sure you're all heading in the direction of the Maris Stella." Patty said to everyone. "Knowing our luck it'll probably fall out of the sky and hit us on our heads." I said to everyone making Ava and Hugo laugh a little.

"Ok now let's head to my home everyone. Will be safe their" Hugo said to everyone as everyone started to move, well everyone but me, Estelle, Yuri, and our Pokemon. "Hmm. I wonder if Flynn's already here somewhere." Yuri asked everyone. "Do you think?" Estelle asked Yuri. "Let's not find out just yet. We can find him after we talk to Belius." I said to Yuri. "Fine when we finish up all our business here, I've got a few things I want to ask that guy." Yuri said to us. "When you do... take us with you." Estelle said to Yuri. "Yeah Yuri we got your back." I said to Yuri. Yuri then nodded yes and we went after the rest of the group.

We then hid at Hugo's place for a few hours getting some sleep and made ourselves look presentable. "Is everyone ready to go?" Yuri asked everyone. "S-sure.." Karol said nervously. "You're shaking, Karol." Rita said to Karol. "Confrontin' the big cheese of a major guild about her involvement with the Great War is pretty intimidatin'." Raven said to everyone. "Come on. She's a normal person, just like us. There's nothing to be afraid of!" Yuri said to Karol. "B-but.." Karol said to everyone but was interrupted by Hugo.

"Trust me Belius is more than a normal person. Karol being nervous is perfectly normal. You have to be crazy to have nerves of steel to face Belius for the first time." Hugo said to everyone. "Then I guess Estelle is crazy then." Raven said to everyone, as we notice that Estelle wasn't nervous but had a determined look on her face. "I'm just doing my best to be strong." Estelle said to Raven. "You don't have to come if you don't want to, Estelle." Judith said to Estelle. "I can't back down anymore, I don't want to. I want to know about myself. About who I really am." Estelle said to everyone. "Sounds like you're ready to go." Judith said to Estelle.

"Estelle I can promise that Belius can give you the answers you're looking for, but the question of who you are, is something you'll have to figure out for yourself." Hugo said to Estelle. "Ok." Estelle said to Hugo. "So then. Let's go see Belius." Yuri said as we all started to walk towards the colosseum.

But on the way their Karol stopped. "What's up Karol?" I asked Karol. "Just my imagination?" Karol said to himself. "What's your imagination Karol?" I asked Karol again. "Nothing, never mind." Karol said to me, as he started to run after the others. I then looked around before I ran after the others, but I had this feeling that we were being followed.

A few minutes later we arrived at the door Natz and Kommo-o was guarding. "We've come to meet with Belius." Yuri said to Natz. "And we have to meet her now Natz!" Hugo said to Natz. "Ok then Hugo you can go. However I must ask the rest of you to withdraw." Natz said to everyone. "What?! But why?" Karol asked Natz. "Are you trying to say we can't be trusted or something?" Rita asked Natz. "I'm sure he's talking to you about that." I said to Rita getting a punch in the arm.

"I am afraid that is what it amounts to." Natz said to everyone. "But." Estelle said to Natz. "Natz I can assure you that they all are trustworthy." Hugo said to Natz. "Yeah you can trust that we'll be even more tight-lipped than a giant clam. For sure." Patty said to Natz. "Let them pass." A female voice said to Natz from behind the door. "Duce! But I…" Natz said to the voice. "I have spoken." The voice said to Natz. "Thank you Belius." Hugo said to the voice. "Now that's more like it." Yuri said to himself.

"Yes. Duce. I ask only that you not speak of anything you see here to anyone." Natz said, as he and Kommo-o moved away from the door. "Not speak of what we see? Why not?" Karol asked Natz. "This is one of Palestralle's guild laws. You'll understand soon enough." Natz said to everyone. "Okay, then we promise." Yuri said to Natz. "Our leader, Belius, is waiting just ahead. Hugo will guild you." Natz said to everyone. "One more thing. Natz tells the other guild members to be on guard there is something going on and Belius is at the center of it." Hugo said to Natz. "Ok." Natz said Hugo. "Ok now let's go everyone." Hugo said as he led the way to Belius.

A minute later we entered a dark room. "H-hey! What's going on?!" Karol asked Hugo. Everyone still here?" Yuri asked everyone. And everyone responded. "Good then we can get started." A male's voice said to everyone. "Who said that?" Yuri asked. Soon purple flames started to light up the room revealing a big creature with yellow, teal, and white fur, six purple legs on a horse-like lower body with a really long tail. A human looking upper body with two arms with claw hands and four purple horns on top it's head with very long ears like thing under them.

"AAAAAH!" me and Ava yelled as we hugged each other. "A-a monster!" Karol said as everyone but me, Ava, Hugo, and surprisingly Judith got ready to fight. "And here I had secret hopes we'd get a gourmet meal out of this. Wasn't expecting a trap." Yuri said to everyone. "Will you all come down this is Belius?" Hugo said to everyone, as he walked to the monster's side. "This is Belius?" I asked Hugo, still holding Ava. "Belius?" Estelle said to the monster.

"The very same. I am Belius. Duce of Nordopolica and founder of Palaestralle." The monster said to us. "Didn't see this comin'." Raven said to everyone. "I don't think anyone saw this coming." Ava said to Raven as we noticed that we were still holding each other. We then let go of each other. "It's good to see you again Belius." Hugo said bowing to Belius. "It's good to see you too Hugo." Belius said to Hugo. "Yes it's good to have you back Hugo." The male voice form before said. "All right, who said that?" Rita asked the voice.

"I'm down here Rita Mordio." The voice said as we all turned to see one of the Zygarde Cores righting in front of Belius. Admittedly me and Ava dropped to our knees, bowing to Zygarde. "What are you doing? What is that? And how does it know my name?" Rita asked them. "Rita, this is Zygarde the master of order. The most powerful Pokemon of the Life Trio." I said to Rita. "Really?" Estelle said looking Estelle up.

Zygarde

The Order Pokemon

Ground / Dragon

It's hypothesised that it's monitoring those who destroy the ecosystem from deep in the cave where it lives.

"But it doesn't look like it does in the Pokedex." Estelle said putting the Pokedex away. "Because that picture is of my 50% form." Zygarde said to Estelle. "50% form?" Estelle asked Zygarde. "To help Zygarde protect the ecosystem Zygarde cells are scattered throughout the world. And what's in front of us is one of the two Zygarde's Cores." I said to Estelle. "What do you mean one of the two cores?" Estelle asked me.

"You see Estelle to keep orders, you need at least two people to agree what's right. If there was just one of us then it wouldn't be order it would be control. So to help this, me and the other core can only use 50% of our full power by ourselves. And when we agree to work together we can use our full power and can do anything." Zygarde said to Estelle. "But Zygarde what are you doing here?" Ava asked Zygarde. "I'll get to that later first. I believe Estelle has a few questions for Belius." Zygarde said to everyone, as Estelle took a few steps forward.

"So you can speak our language, as well." Estelle said to Belius. "You encountered Phaeroh some time ago. Did you not? I would not think, then, that our ability to use your tongue should come as a surprise." Belius said to Estelle. "So you're an Entelexeia, too?" Yuri said to Belius. "That is so." Belius said to Yuri. "Th-then the ancient race that built this city was…" Karol said to Belius. "My brethren and I." Belius said to everyone. "Though Belius is the only one that still lives here." Hugo said to everyone.

"If this city was built hundreds and hundreds of years ago… that would mean…" Patty said to everyone as she looked at Belius. "Indeed. We have governed this city for ages." Belius said to Patty. "Wow! That's amazing!" Patty said to Belius. "Good old Don. how nice of him ta keep me in the dark on this." Raven said to Ava. "Don't take it too hard, he kept me in the dark too." Ava said to Rave. "And who might you two be?" Belius asked Raven and Ava.

"A humble servant of Don Whitehorse, I've got a letter for you from him." Raven said to Belius before he walked to her. "And I am Ava Ruby. A Pokemon Trainer who works for Don Whitehorse." Ava said to Belius as Raven handed Belius the letter. "I've known that old badger too long ta be surprised by who he knows, but just how're you connected?" Raven asked Belius. "I am indebted to him for his assistance during the Great War." Belius said to Raven.

"The Great War…! So the rumors that you were one of the masterminds behind it are true?" Karol said to Belius making Hugo and Belius laugh a little. "What's so funny?" I asked them. "Heh, well I did participate in the war. However, I never Exceeded that which my duty as an Entelexia required. I was not a mastermind of anything." Belius said to Karol. "Yes Belius was nothing more than a simple soldier in that war." Hugo said to Karol.

"The Great War was fought against the Entelexeia." Karol said to himself. "At any rate, my acquaintance with the Don dates from those times. I have long lamented that a man of his talent was not born instead as one of my race." Belius said to everyone. "That's the first I'd heard the old man had anything ta do with the Great War." Raven said to Belius. "It's a subject he takes little pleasure in discussing." Belius said to everyone. "Belius if it's all right can you tell us what was in that letter?" Ava asked Belius as Raven walked to the group.

"The Don has requested my mediation in the current trouble with Phaeroh. It would seem that even a man of his strength cannot stand against my brother's assault and his battle with Yveltal upon his city. Such a request can not lightly be brushed aside. I shall offer my assistance for the time being." Belius said to everyone.

"Glad ta see you're so reasonable." Raven said to Belius. "I have to be after all Phaeroh should have known better than to fight Yveltal." Belius said to everyone. "Do you know why Yveltal appeared in Dangrest?" Estelle asked Belius. "Because Ava was there." Zygarde said to everyone, making them turn to him. "What are you talking about?" Karol asked Zygarde.

"You see years ago Hugo, Oliver, and Ava saved me, the other Zygarde core, Yveltal, and Xerneas from a group of bad people. And after that we felt gratitude towards them. Me and the other core even saved Hugo, Yveltal saved Ava, and Xerneas saved Oliver when the bad people base started to fall apart around us. After then we left them but we never forgot the bravery and kindness they showed us. Then we saw you three get sent here and we bagged Arceus to let us go after you. It took some time, but he agreed, but he said that he will not send anyone else to this curse world." Zygarde said to everyone.

"Curse world?" I asked Zygarde. "Arceus and the rest of us have a bad experience with this world." Zygarde said to everyone. "What bad experience?" Ava asked Zygarde. "You will learn in time. First you must learn about the Entelexeia." Zygarde said to everyone. "Ok so some of you tear down cities. And some of you run guilds. You Entelexeia are definitely… Interesting." Yuri said to Belius.

"The same might be said of you humans. I would imagine." Belius said to Yuri. "You would be right, Belius." Zygarde said to Belius, making each other laugh a little. "Now then, this letter is not the sole reason for your visit. Is it? Child of the Full Moon?" Belius said to everyone, as she finished laughing. "You know about Estelle…?" Rita said to Belius. "Entelexeia and my fellow legendary Pokemon all know about her." Zygarde said to Rita.

"We Entelexeia can sense the Child of the Full Moon." Belius said to Estelle. "My name is Estellise." Estelle said to Belius. "A lovely name for a kind hearted girl like you." Zygarde said to Estelle. "I have to know. What exactly is the Child of the Full Moon? Phaeroh called me and "insipid poison.'' But what does that mean?" Estelle asked Belius as Zygarde's eye turned green. That is never a good sign.

"Hmm. I know not whether your fate may be swayed by such knowledge but…" Belius said hastened to say anything to Estelle. "Belius Listen." Judith said to Belius, making all of us turn to her. "Judith?" Estelle said to Judith. "Hmm. Is there something of which I should be aware?" Belius asked Judith. "Phaeroh is…" Judith said, but was interrupted by Zygarde. "Sorry to interrupt, but we have company. Bad company." Zygarde said, as they heard something bagging against the door.

"What the hell's all that racket?" Raven asked everyone. "I don't know, but I don't like it." I said as the door burst open. Then Tison and Clint walked in. "At last we've found you, Entexeia! Leader of monsters! Origin of evil!" Tison said to Belius. "Tison! Boss!" Karol said to them. "What are you two psycho's doing here?" I said to them. "Well if it isn't Karol and his monster loving friends. You've got some twisted tastes, hanging out with freaks like this." Tison said to Karol.

"Keeping monsters to use in your coliseum? You're an enemy of humanity, and now you die!" Clint said to Belius. "Clint, are you mad? She is a friend of The Don and is the leader of this city. You can't do this." Ava said to Clint. "Yeah you're pretty barbaric for friend of Karol's." Patty said to them. "Who the hell is this little brat?" Tison said to Patty. "Unfortunately. I don't give my name to rapscallions." Patty said to Tison. "Hmph… As if I really care." Tison said to Patty. "But she's a human, unlike you, you psychotic monsters." I said to them, as I grabbed my weapons, getting ready for a fight.

"Wh-where's Nan?" Karol nervously asked them. "Curious, huh? She should be leading the raid on the remaining monsters in the coliseum about now." Tison said to Karol. "By monsters you mean the people of Palaestralle and their Pokemon partners." Zygarde said to everyone. "WHAT?!" Ava, Hugo and I yelled. "We Hunting Blades give no quarter to any who would obstruct the justice we mete out, humans or no." Tison said to everyone as he cracked his knuckles. "You know nothing of justice, just rage and hatred." Zygarde said to them.

"What does a talking slug like you know about justice." Tison said to Zygarde. "If you won't attack. Then I'll make the first move beast!" Clint said as he and Tison drew their weapons and started to attack. But Hugo was able to stop Tison and make a deep cut on the upper part of Tison's right leg. Clint got past us and tried to hit Belius, but Belius blocked the attack with one of her hands. "It seems these men will be not stayed lest I take arms against them. Hugo, it is asking much of you and your friends, but please, help Natz." Belius said to everyone. "What about you?!" Yuri asked Belius. "Yeah we can't leave you alone with these psychos." I said to Belius.

"I am not to be outdone by mere humans. Zygarde let me handle them." Belius said to everyone. "As you wish. After all these two are strong, but simple. Rage has completely consumed their minds. Now there's nothing different between them and the monsters they hunt. Hugo take your friends and go." Zygarde said to everyone. "Ok let's go everyone." Hugo said to everyone. "Gotta." Yuri said as we all left Belius and Zygarde alone with those psychos.

As we left the room we ran into a few Hunting Blades members. "Manectric / Houndoom / Gallade / come out and use Thunderbolt / Flamethrower / Brick Break!" Me, Ava and Hugo said, as we let Manectric, Houndoom, and Gallade out of their Pokeballs. After they got out of their Pokeballs, Manectric fired a bolt of electricity, Houndoom fired a stream of fire, and Gallade smashed a Hunting Blade member with his blade arms glowing white. The three of them easily defeated then Hunting Blades members

"These Hunting nuts are everywhere." I said as we ran past the Burned and uncoinuces Hunting Blades members. We then entered a room where two people were laying on the ground. Yuri and Hugo ran towards the people. "This is awful… Could Nan have done this…?" Karol said looking at the people. "Probably. She is a monster." I said to Karol. "You all right?" Yuri asked one of the people. "Master Hugo… Natz and Kommo-o have… gone to defend the coliseum… from the Hunting Blades… Please… You gotta help him…" The man said with his dying breath. "W-wait, I'll…" Estelle said, but stopped when Hugo raised a hand to her face.

"It's too late, they're gone." Hugo said to Estelle. "If only we'd come sooner." Estelle said to everyone. "This is not the time or regrets." Judith said to Estelle. "She's right if we don't get going more will join them." Hugo said to Estelle. "Come on we've got to go help that Natz guy and his partner Kommo-o…!" Rita said to everyone. "Natz and Kommo-o are probably in the arena. Which means they're this way." Hugo said as he started to run. We then followed him as fast as we could.

When we got to the arena we saw the arena full of Hunting Blades fighting Palaestralle and their Pokemon partners Nan giving orders to everyone. "The coliseum is now under the authority of the Hunting Blades! Withdraw immediately!" Nan said to everyone. "AND WHO GAVE YOU THAT AUTHORITY?!" Ava yelled at Nan anger in her voice. This mad Nan turned to us. "Nan! You've got to stop!" Karol said to Nan. "Karol? What are you doing here?" Nan asked Karol. "What are you doing here and who gave you the authority over the coliseum?" Ava said to Nan.

"Yeah you know that fights between guilds are strictly forbidden by the Union!" Karol said to Nan. "What are you talking about?! This job was commissioned to us directly by the Union itself!" Nan said to everyone. "What?!" Raven said to Nan. "Who commissioned this job?" Ava asked Nan. Then a young man in a white suit, with a green over jacket white pants, and long blond hair and a scar over his nose walked out of the shadows and next to Nan.

"Harry! What're you doin' here?!" Raven said to the blonde hair man. "Hey… Isn't that someone from the Union we met in Dahngrest…?" Rita asked Raven and Ava. "That's The Don's grandson. Harry." Raven said to Rita. "The Don's grandson…?" Karol said to them. "But he never leaves the city. So what's he doing here." Ava said to Rita. "Just what in blazes is goin' on here, son?" Raven asked Harry.

"You're under the same orders from the Don yourself, right? To Locate apatheia?" Harry said to Raven. "Sure, but what does that have ta do with all the commotion here?" Raven asked Harry. But before Harry could say anything a Hunting Blade member came flying at us crashing into the wall next to us. "What was that?" Estelle asked, as Judith, Hugo, Vibrava, and Gallade started to run into the arena. "Judith! Hugo! What's the matter?" Karol asked them.

There!" Patty said pointing into the direction that they were running to. We followed Patty's finger to see Kommo-o covered in wounds with his tail shining like silver protecting Natz from a big group of Hunting blades. "Natz! Kommo-o!" Estelle said. "Come on!" Yuri said to everyone as we all started to run towards Natz. "Damn it! I wasn't done with him…!" Raven said to everyone. "Wiat! I thought I ordered you to withdraw!" Nan said to us as we ran.

"Raven and Ava are with them and they're an ally. Let them be." I heard Harry say to Nan. "Nan." Karol said as he looked back. Ava and me then looked at each other. "Houndoom / Manectric use Flamethrower on Nan!" Ava and I said to Houndoom and Manectric. "Houndoom / Manectric" They said as they fired a stream of fire at Nan. Nan was too distracted by Harry to notice the Flamethrowers head for her.

When she finally noticed them it was too late. The Flamethrowers pushed her into the wall and kept going at her, covering her in fire. When the Flamethrowers finished, it revealed Nan with burned marks on her skin and some of her clothes still on fire. Nan tried to get up, but she was in too much pain to move. "Why did you do that?" Harry asked us. "Harry the Hunting Blades are out of control. And it's all your fault." Ava said to Harry as we got back to running.

"Aw, down to your last friends? Why not play with us for a while?" Yuri said to the Hunting Blade members that was surrounding Natz and Kommo-o. "More of Belius' Minions, huh?!" One of the Hunting Blade members said to us, as they got ready to fight us. "W-we're Brave Vesperia!" Karol said to them as we got ready to fight. "I don't care how brave you are. Death to those who side with monsters!" One of the Hunting Blade members said to us.

"And death to the psychos of the Hunting Blade. Manectric use Quick Attack!" I said to Manectric. Manectric then dashed through the Hunting Blades and went behind one of them and pushed the Hunting Blade forward, catching the Hunting Blade off garde. I then swinged my right mace at the hunting Blade faces stewing him, then I swinged my left mace at the back of his head and slammed him into the ground. With Repede dashing around us attacking the Hunting Blades.

"Houndoom use Flamethrower." Ava said to Houndoom. "Houndoom." Houndoom said as she fired a stream of flame at a few of the Hunting Blade. Ava then fired a few of her arrows through the Flamethrower setting them on fire before they hit their target and dealing a lot of damage. "Audino uses Dazzling Gleam and Togetic uses Air Slash." Estelle said as she blocked an attack with her shield and stabbed the attacker with her rapier. "Audino." Audino said as she started to glow bright multiple colors, blinging the Hunting Blade. "Togetic." Togetic said as she fired blades of air at the Hunting Blade cutting their armor and their weapons.

"Gallade uses Double Team with Leaf Blade." Hugo said as he and Gallade ran to the Hunting Blades that Togetic had disarmed. "Gallade." Gallade said as he splitted into seven shadow copies of himself. Then the blades in his arms turned green and grew, becoming long and sharp. Then Hugo and Gallade then started to cut through the Hunting Blade. The Hunting Blade tried to attack Gallade but they only striked his copies.

"Sableye uses Furry Swipe and Drilbur uses Metal Claw." Raven said as he aimed an arrow at one of the Hunting Blades. "Sableye / Drilbur." The two of them said as they started to scratch up one of the Hunting Blades. They did that for a few seconds before they jumped out of the way letting Raven's arrow hit the Hunting Blade.

"Duosion uses Psyshock." Rita said as she started to cast a spell. Soon Rita finished her spell and rock started to pop out of the ground. "Metang uses Psychic on the rocks." Rita said to Metang. "Duosion / Metang!" The two of them said as Duosion made orbs of purple energy and pink energy wrapped around the rocks. Soon the rocks and the orbs were sent flying at Hunting Blades, crashing into them, knocking out a few of them.

"Cramerant use Drill Peck." Patty said as she fired a few shots from her gun. "Cramerant." Cramerant said as he started to spin hitting one of the Hunting Blades. Then a Hunting Blade with a dagger sneaked behind Patty and tried to kill her. But Slowpoke then fired a ball of water from her mouth Hitting the Hunting blade in the face. Patty then turned around and shot the Hunting Blade. "What was that?" PAtty asked me. "What must have been Water Pulse." I said to Patty as I slammed my mace into another Hunting Blade.

Meanwhile Karol was swinging his hammer at one of the Hunting Blade but the Hunting Blade was dogging Karol's attack. Then Mawile came up and jumped onto the Hunting Blade. Soon a cloud of smoke encased Mawile and the Hunting Blade, and Karol could hear the sounds of pain as stars started to come out of the smoke. "What was that?" Karol asked me as the smoke cleared revealing a uncoinces and bruised Hunting Blade member. "That was Play Rough." I said to Karol. "That move was so cool." Karol said to Mawile petting her.

Karol was so focused on petting Mawile that he forgot that he was in the middle of the battle. Then a Hunting Blade member charged at Karol. But before I said anything Skiddo got in between Karol and the Hunting Blade. The Skiddo's horns turned green and flipped. Soon the two horns connected and grew into a long curve blade. The Skiddo's blade and the Blade often Hunting Blade clashed against each other, neither of them gaining an inch. Karol then notices the Hunting Blade and swings his hammer at Hunting Blade knocking the Hunting Blade away.

"What was that?" Karol asked me. "That was Leaf Blade. He just learned Leaf Blade." I said to Karol. "That's so cool Skiddo." Karol said to Skiddo. "Skiddo." Skiddo said as he got kneel down. "Ok let's ride." Karol said to Skiddo as he hopped onto Skiddo's back and got back to the battle.

"Vibrava uses Rock Slide." Judith said to Vibrava as she circled a few of the Hunting Blades. "Vibrava." Vibrava said as he dropped rocks around the Hunting Blades. This trapped the Hunting Blades and Judith used the Rocks to jump around the Hunting Blade stabbing them and slashing them.

"Bisharp uses Metal Claw and Banette knock them off their feet with Shadow Sneak." Yuri said to Bisharp and Banette. "Banette." Banette said as he disappeared into the shadows and then then reappeared under the last of the Hunting Blades knocking them to the ground one after another. "Ready Bisharp." Yuri said to Bisharp. "Bisharp." Bisharp said to Yuri as his blades on his arm became long and silver. Soon Yuri and Bisharp slashed the last of the Hunting Blade, leaving only one left.

"How? How could you monster lovers defeat us? We are on the side of justice." The last of the Hunting Blade said to us. "You are not on the side of justice. You and the entire Hunting Blade are on the side of vengeance." Hugo said to the last Hunting Blade member, before he punched him in the face knocking him out. "And that is why you'll never win." Hugo said to the unconscious Hunting Blade. "Estelle can, you heal Natz and Audino can, you heal Kommo-o." Hugo said to Estelle and Audino.

"Of course Audino uses Heal Pulse." Estelle said to Audino before she started to cast a healing spell onto Natz. "Audino." Audino said as she started to prabus a pulse of pink and white energy with sparkles in it. Soon Natz and Kommo-o wounds started to close. "Looks like we got here in time." Raven said to everyone. "Yeah." I said to Raven. "You two must be healers. You two have saved us." Natz said to Estelle and Audino. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, thanking them. "I wonder if Belius and Zygarde are okay?" Patty asked us.

Then we noticed Belius, Zygarde, Tison, and Clint burst out of the window of her room. Then Tison and Clint fell next to the wall, Zygarde right next to us, and Belius in the middle of the arena. "Aaah!" Karol yelled while still riding Skiddo. "Duce!" Natz said to Belius. "Belius." Hugo said to Belius. "Natz, Hugo. you two are unhurt." Belius said as she got up. Then Tison and Clint got up. "You would yet challenge me, humans?!" Belius said to Tison and Clint.

"...Your kind… is the root… of all evil…" Clint said to Belius. "The root of evil? Belius? You've got it all wrong just...look!" Yuri said to Clint. "Yeah you're the root of evil. Look at what you have done Clint." Ava said to Clint. "All monsters serve evil…! They must be hunted down… It… it is up to us… to the Hunting Blades…!" Clint said to us ignoring all the destruction and death that he and his guild has caused. But then Clint fell to his knees tired. "These idiots've got rocks for brains!" Raven said to everyone. "Now that is an insult to rocks." Ava said to Raven.

"You… You monsters are all alike…!" Tison said as he started to charge at Belius. But Judith and Hugo stop him. "Judy! Hugo!" Patty said as Judtih and Hugo started to fight Tison. Then Belius dropped to her knees. "Duce!" Natz said to Belius. Then Estelle ran to Belius' side. "I'll heal you!" Estelle said to Belius as she started to cast a spell. "You mustn't. Your power is…" Belius said but was interrupted by Zygarde, Judith and Hugo yelling. "NO!"

Then Estelle finished casting the spell, but instead of healing Belius it made her glow and cause great pain. "Wh-what… what can this mean...?" Estelle said looking at Belius. "She reacted to Estelle's formula…? But this is…" Rita said as Belius roared in pain. "What's going on?!" Patty asked everyone. Then I heard Judith talk. "We were too late." Judith said under her breath. "What are you talking about?" I asked Judith, but she ignored me. "What have I done?" Estelle said, as Belius started to trash about. "Estelle get away from her!" Hugo said to Estelle.

"If this keeps up, it'll bring down the coliseum!" Raven said as the coliseum started to shake. "Duce Belius! Please control yourself! Duce!" Natz said to Belius. But Belius was still thrashing around. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said as he grabbed Belius trying to hold her down. But then Belius then broke free of Kommo-o's hold and then threw him back towards us. "We have no choice, but to try and stop her with force." Yuri said to everyone.

"But we're dead if we hold anything back against someone like this!" Rita said to everyone. "I can't believe this…!" Karol said to everyone. "But… it doesn't look like we have a choice." Patty said to everyone. "Belius." Judith said. Estelle, wake up!" Rita said to Estelle trying to get her out of her gase. "Right." Estelle said but she still wasn't thinking straight.

"Zygarde are you going to help?" I asked Zygarde. "I will not attack my friend, but to save her. You, Hugo, and Ava must use the power of your hearts, show everyone here the power you showed me all those years ago." Zygarde said to us. "Power of our hearts?" I said as I placed a had on my heart. "Guys we got more Hunting Blades coming." Hugo said to everyone as more Hunting Blades started to show up. "Our hearts? That's it. Ok here's the plan: Manectric, Ava, Houndoom, Hugo, Gallade with me. We're going to take care of Belius. Everyone else keeps the Hunting blade off us." I said to everyone surprising everyone.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Rita asked me? "Trust me. I'm sure that this will work, more or less." I said with the last part being a whisper. "What was that last part?" Karol asked me. "Nothing important just go." I said to everyone. "Natz, Kommo-o rally the remaining Palaestralle members in the coliseum and bring them here. We make our stand here." Hugo said to Natz and Kommo-o. "You got it." everyone said as they went to do what they were told.

"So you got a plan Oliver?" Ava asked me. "We'll stop Belius with our hearts." I said grabbing my keystone. "I get you." Ava said as she grabbed her keystone. "Just like old times." Hugo said as he grabbed his keystone. "It's time to show the world our strength push beyond evolution and show them our true power MEGA EVOLVE." I said as energy from my keystone came out and connected with the energy coming out of Manectric's Mega Stone, and turned into his mega form.

"For adventure and freedom show them our spirits and MEGA EVOLVE." Ava said as energy from her keystone came out and connected with the energy coming out of Houndoom's Mega Stone, and turned into her mega form.

"Show them our fighting spirits, show them that we will never back down, show them the power we have and MEGA EVOLVE." Hugo said as energy from his keystone came out and connected with the energy coming out of Gallade's Mega Stone, and turned into his mega form. Gallade's body was now completely white with two white caps on his back, the blades on his arms became longer, had and extra edge and was red with a red gem on the front of both of his arms, and the fins on his head gew and the fin on top of head curved with the tip facing forward.

"All right everyone hold nothing back." I said to everyone. "Ok let's do this! Gallade uses Brick Break!" Hugo said to Gallade as me, Hugo and Gallade charged at Belius. "Gallade." Gallade said as his blades became white. Then Belius used both of her hands to block Gallade's attack. But the force of Gallade's attack was still strong enough to break the ground. And while Gallade's had Belius's attention, me and Hugo attacked her side.

"Guys back up. Houndoom uses Dark Pulse!" Ava said to us as she pulled out a few arrows. "Manectric uses Thunderbolt!" I said as we all back away from Belius. "Houndoom / Manectric." They said as Houndoom fired a pulse of dark rings, Manectric fired a bolt of electricity, and Ava fired a few arrows at Belius. Belius then dodge the attacks but the attacks still stretched the side of Belius said and a couple of arrows hit Belius' side.

"Gallade uses Leaf Blade!" Hugo said to Gallade. "Manectric use Quick Attack!" I said to Manectric. "Gallade / Manectric." The two of them charged at Belius. Then the two of them striced Belius cheats and forced her head up. "Ava now!" I said to Ava. "Ok Houndoom Dark Pulse again." Ava said to me and Houndoom. "Houndoom." Houndoom said as she and Ava fired their attacks. And this time Belius wasn't able to dodge them. The arrows hit multiple spots on Belius' chest and the Dark Pulse hit the dead center of Belius's chest. The Dark Pulse was able to push Belius back a few feet.

"Man she tuff." I said to everyone. "Well she did teach me everything I know and she's the leader of Palaestralle. She is not going to go down easily." Hugo said to us. "So what next?" Ava asked me. "Just keep hammering." I said to everyone. "That's not much of a plan." Hugo said to me. "You got a better idea?" I asked Hugo. "Thunder Flames?" Hugo said to me. "Actually that could work. Ok Manectric use Thunderbolt!" I said to Manectric. "Houndoom uses Flamethrower!" Ava said to Houndoom. "And Gallade uses Psychic!" Hugo said to Gallade.

"Manectric / Houndoom / Gallade." The three of them said, as Manectric fired a bolt of electricity, Houndoom fired a steam of fire, and Gallade's eyes started to glow pink. Soon pink energy outlined the electricity and the fire, and then combined them. Then the combined attack went up and came crashing down on Belius, and came down hard for a few seconds. Then the fire and electricity stopped it revealed Belius covered in burns, and on her knees. "Yeah we got her now, charge!" I said to everyone. "Gallade follows us with Leaf Blade." Hugo said as we started to run.

But before we could strike her she split into two copies, but unlike Gallades Double Team, Balius' copy looked exactly like it was the real thing. "What the?" I said. But before me, Hugo, and Gallade could react to this we got sent flying back to Ava, Houndoom, and Manectric. "Any idea which Belius did that?" I asked Hugo and Gallade. "Nope." Hugo said to me. "Any other ideas?" Ava asked us as we got up. "Dark Storm?" I said to everyone. "Best chance to figure out which one is the real one." Hugo said to me.

"Ok Manectric uses Discharge!" I said to Manectric. "Houndoom uses Dark Pulse!" Ava said to Houndoom. "And Gallade cut that Dark Pulse in half with Leaf Blade!" Hugo said to Gallade. "Manectric / Houndoom / Gallade." The three of them said, as Manectric burst of electricity came out of him, Houndoom fired dark rings from her mouth, and Gallade started to cut the Dark Pulse with Leaf Blade sending the broken pieces of the Dark Pulse into the discarded sending burst of black flashes. This made everyone cover their eyes. Everyone, but the Belius copy.

"That one I said pointing to the real Belius. Time to finish this with Flame Blades." Hugo said to everyone. "Ok. Manectric / Houndoom uses Flamethrower!" Me and Ava said at the same time. "Manectric / Houndoom." The two of them said as they fired a stream of fire. "Gallade uses Psychic!" Hugo said to Gallade. "Gallade." Gallade said as his eyes started to glow pink. Then a pink outline appeared on the flames. Then the flames started to gather around Gallade. Then the flame disappeared revealing Gallade with his eyes still glowing pink and his blades became long sharp fire blades.

"Now go Gallade forward." Hugo said to Gallade. "GALLADE!" Gallade yelled as he charged forward. Gallade then slashed Belius in a V formation and he jumped back before he released the flames causing a huge explosion as well. Belius dropped to her knees in pain. But then Belius got up again.

"Man Entelexeia are crazy strong." I said to Hugo. "Yeah she even handled our Mega Combos." Hugo said to me. "Then maybe you need some back up." A voice said to us. We then turned to see Yuri and Banette ran to us. "Yuri? Banette? What are you two doing here. Shouldn't you two be helping everyone else fighting the Hunting Blades?" I said to Yuri. "Well Natz came back with reinforcements and you all are having trouble so we're here to help." Yuri said to us.

"What can you do?" I asked Yuri. "I can do this, just like you three." Yuri said to us as he activated his Keystone and three streams of energy came out of it. "Banette?!" Banette said as three streams burst out of his Mega stone. "YURI NO!" We all yelled as the energy connected. Then started to grow. Soon Banette's body and hands became balls with two spikes and a yellow zipper on them. And the tip of his head grew and a zipper formed from the top of it to his left eye. "BANETTE!" Banette roared as the zippers on its hand and body opened up reeling two sharp little legs, and three long sharp claws from his hands.

"You look great Banette. Now use Shadow Sneak on Belius!" Yuri said to Banette. "Ban.. ette…" Banette said, twitching a little before disappearing in the shadows. "Yuri what have you done! You and Banette are not ready for Mega Evolution." Hugo said to Yuri. Then Banette came out of the shadows and slashed Belius across her chest and then stayed above her. "What are you talking about? Did you see that we got this?" Yuri said to us.

But then Banette came down and slammed his claws into Belius's head forcing her into the ground. Then Banette stood in front of Belius' head. "What just happened?" Yuri asked us. "Banette is losing it." I said to Yuri. "What no, Banette you got this right?" Yuri said to everyone. Then Banette turned to us slowly, twitching while he did that. "Banette?" Yuri asked Banette. "BANETTE! BAN BAN BANETTE!" Banette roared as he started to go all over the place.

"Banette? What's wrong?" Yuri asked Banette, but Banette wasn't listening. "It's overloading him." Hugo said to Yuri. "Overloading him?" Yuri asked us. "The Mega energy is messing with his head. And it's because you two don't have a strong bond." I said to Yuri. "How do we stop him?" Yuri asked us. "We have to knock him out." Ava said to Yuri. "Can't we go anything else?" Yuri asked us.

"BANETTE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Raven yelled. We then all turned to see Banette striking him. Then Banette knocked Raven's bow out of his hand and broke it against the ground. "Banette stop." Estelle said as Banette. But Banette didn't; he just knocked out the weapon and shield in Estelles and broke them in half as they hit the ground. "What's wrong with you?" Karol said as Banette smashed most of Karol's weaponed handles off. "Vibrava helped me stop him." Judith said as they tried to stop him. Only for Banette to send Vibrava flying, and Judith's spear head broke off as it hit the ground.

"No at the rate he's going we're going to be defenceless." I said to Yuri. "Banette stopped this. This isn't like you." Yuri said to Banette only making Banette turn to us. Banette then charged at us. "Banette!" Yuri said as Banette knocked Yuri's sword out of his hands and broke it in half. But before we could do anything Banette then knocked my maces and Ava's crossbow out of our hands. My maces lost their ends and became sharp sticks, and the handle of Ava's crossbow was broken off.

Then Banette went after Hugo, but was stopped when Banette met Gallade's Leaf Blade. "Manectric/ Houndoom uses Thunderbolt / Dark Pulse on Banette." Ava and me said to Manectric and Houndoom. "Manectric / Houndoom." the two of them said as they fired their attacks at Banette. "BANETTE!" Banette roared as the two attacks collided with him in the middle. Then Banette released a burst of light and the attacks stopped. Then Banette fell to the ground, his eyes in the shape of swirls.

"Banette?" Yuri said as he and Hugo went to Banette. "It's ok he's just out cold. He just needs some rest." Hugo said to Yuri. "Thank goodness." Yuri said to us. "I told you that you two were ready for Mega Evolution. But you didn't listen?" Hugo said to Yuri. "I'm sorry." Yuri said to us. "Sorry isn't enough Yuri." I said to Yuri. "Wait a minute aren't we forgetting something?" Hugo asked everyone. Then I felt something behind me and then I remembered. "Belius." I said as I turned around to see Belius getting ready to stick me. A feel down trying to dodge the attack.

"OLIVER!" Ava yelled. The next thing I knew Ava was in front of me holding my broken weapons and jabbed them deep into her chest. Then Belius arms dropped to the ground and she fell to her knees. Soon the coliseum went silent. "Belius I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Ava said, realizing what she did and letting go of my weapons. "No need... to be... sorry…. you saved me." Belius said to Ava. "Duce, No!" Natz said to Belius. Then my weapons fell to the ground as Belius started to glow.

"What now?" Rita asked everyone, as they picked up what's left of their weapons. "I never thought this would happen." Judith said as Bisharp picked Banette up and held him in his arms. "Belius." Hugo said to Belius and Estelle and Ava dropped to their knees. "I'm sorry… I… I…" Estelle said to Belius. "I don't mean to kill you I was just… I was just… I was just…" Ava said to Bellius. "Worry... not… you were… thinking only of saving me… and saving... the one... you love." Belius said to them. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I just…" Estelle said to Belius. "We were just…" Ava said to Belius.

"Power corrupts… But you, you are different. Never lose that kindness… the compassion you so readily show to others…" Belius said to Estelle. "And you… protect the people… you love... is never a crime… don't let… my end... take away… your... future." Belius said to Ava. "Now, go to Phaeroh… if you would learn of your destiny… and the… past." Belius said to us. "To Phaeroh?" Estelle said to Belius, as Belius started to shine brighter.

"Natz, there is much I owe you. Do not harbor a grudge towards these people." Belius said to Natz. "Duce, no!" Natz said to Belius. "Kommo-o look after Natz for me." Belius said to Kommo-o. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, nodding his head. "W-wait! No, I beg you! Don't go!" Estelle said to Belius as she and Ava got up. "Belius… Farewell…" Judith said to Belius. "Rest in peace my old friend." Zygarde said to Belius. As a blind light filled the coliseum.

Then where Belius stood was a floating blue glowing crystal. "This is… is this the same as what was in the case from the ghost ship…?" Rita said to everyone. "An apatheia…" Karol said to everyone. "What.. does that mean…?" Patty asked everyone.

Then Belius' voice rings through our heads. "Convey my soul- this cyano ciel- to my ally. Don Whitehorse." Belius said as the crystal fell into Ava's arms. The next second Estelle and Ava dropped to their knees again. "So this must've been what Harry meant." Raven said to everyone. "Monster Lovers… we'll be taking that stone." Clint said to us. And then I had it.

"NO WAY PSYCHOS YOU AND YOUR GUILD ARE MONSTERS! YOU KILLED A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE AND BELIUS! WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS STONE!" I yelled at Clint. "Then… we'll just have to pound on you until you do." Clint said to us. "NO YOU WON'T YOU AND GUILD HAVE DISRUPTED ORDER AND YOU KILLED MY FRIEND! NOW YOU WILL FACE MY WRATH!" Zygarde said as green lights came crashing down from above.

Then Zygarde started to grow, becoming a thin black dog with one green leg, two green hexagons on his chest, a red hexagon at the base of his neck, a green scarf looking thing, and a green mouth and fangs. "What is that?" Karol asked me. "That is Zyharde's 10% form." I said to Karol. "You think you can stop me?" Clint asked Zygarde as he charged at Zygarde. But Zygarde dodged Clint's attack and bit into Clint's neck. Then with his fangs sinking into Clint's neck Zygarde said.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I AM ZYGARDE DEFENDER OF ORDER! AND NOW YOU AND YOUR HUNTING BLADES WILL PAY FOR DISRUPTING ORDER! DRACO METEOR!" As his body started to glow orange. Then with Clint still in his mouth he fired Clint and a big ball of energy into the sky. Then Clint and the ball of energy exploded into the sky, sending Clint and hundreds of little meteors crashing into the other Hunting Blades.

For a few seconds the screams of pain filled the coliseum. Then Zygarde turned to us. "You all need to get Belius' soul out of here. Get to your ship, I'll cover you." Zygarde said to us, before it jumped up and out of the arena. Then Sodia and some knights showed up. "That's enough! Everyone throw down your weapons!" Sodia said to everyone in the arena. "Damn, look who's here." Yuri said to everyone. "I guess it's the knight's turn to be a problem." I said to Yuri.

"You two… Take anyone still standing in the coliseum into custody." Sodia said to everyone as she noticed us. "We're gonna wind up in chains if we don't blow this scene." Raven said to everyone. "I won't allow that. PEOPLE OF PALAESTRALLE LEND ME YOUR EARS!" Hugo yelled to everyone in the arena.

"I KNOW YOUR ALL SAD BY THE LOST OF OUR LEADER! BUT NOW THE KNIGHTS WANT TO ARREST US ALL BECAUSE WE DEFENDED OUR HOME! ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM!" Hugo yelled as serious faces appeared on the people of Palaestralle.

"NOW WHO WILL STAND WITH ME TO DRIVE OUT THE HUNTING BLADES AND THE KNIGHTS!?" Hugo asked everyone. "We will stand with you Hugo." Natz said to Hugo as he and Kommo-o stood by Hugo. "Count me in." Another Palaestralle member said to Hugo. "We're with you all the way." A few more Palaestralle members said to Hugo. Soon all the Palaestralle members rallied around Hugo.

"THEN FOR BELIUS, FOR ZYGARDE, FOR OUR FALLEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND FOR OUR HOME. ATTACK!" Hugo yelled as the members of Palaestralle roared in agreement. Soon Hugo led the charge with the members of Palaestralle following him. Hugo then started to battle Sodia with Gallade while Natz, Kommo-o and the rest of Palaestralle started to fight the other knights. "We need to go Ava, Estelle get up." I said to Ava and Estelle. But they still didn't get up.

"Estelle we're getting out of here for now." Yuri said to Estelle. "No… I… I don't want to go anywhere. My power… It really is a poison… I thought I could help her, but I only brought about her death. I couldn't save her...!" Estelle said to Yuri. Then Yuri pulled out his broken sword. "Yuri what are you doing?" I asked Yuri. but Yuri didn't say anything, he just gave himself a deep cut on his right arm. "Wh-what are you doing?!" Estelle said as she got up and healed him.

"There. You saved me, didn't you?" Yuri asked Estelle. "What…? Ah, but I…" Estelle said to Yuri, but was interrupted by Yuri. "Let's move." Yuri said to Estelle. "Okay." Estelle said to Yuri. "Ava come on we got to go." I said to Ava. "I can't. How can I possibly face The Don now that I killed his friend." Ava said to me. "Ava it was either her or me. I'm sure The Don will understand." I said to Ava as I'd kneel down.

"But what if he doesn't. What if we banish me from Dahngrest, or have me killed." Ava said to me. "I won't let that happen. I will fight all of The Don's men to keep you safe, and if you do get banished from Dahngrest then I will help you find a new place in this world." I said to Ava. "Why are you saying that?" Ava asked me. "Because you're Ava Ruby. The woman that I've known since we were kids. And the woman I still love. Even though you hate me. My love for you changed. Not now not ever. So come on let's go." I said to Ava, as I got up and held a hand out for her.

Ava didn't say anything she just took my hand and I helped her up. "ALL RIGHT EVERYONE LET'S GO!" I yelled as we all started to run. As we ran Sodia noticed us leaving. "Wait!" Sodia said to us, forgetting that she was in the middle of a battle. "Gallade uses Brick Break." Hugo said to Gallade. "Gallade." Gallade said as his blades turned white. Then Hugo punched Sodia in the face and Gallade hit her stomach. This sent Sodia flying into the wall, breaking off a pic of the wall and it landed on Sodia's left arm making her scream in pain.

"Natz I'm going with everyone else, so you take command." Hugo said to Natz as he started to run. "Ok. Go Hugo." Natz said to Hugo.

We then ran out of the arena and made it to the hallways where knights and Palaestralle members were fighting. "This is crazy." Yuri said to everyone. "We gotta get out of here." I said to everyone. "We've no choice but to go out through the harbor, then. Zygarde did say we need to get to our ship." Judith said to everyone. "But what if the harbor's blockaded, too?" Karol asked Judith. 'Well the Weasand of Cados is blocked off." Rita said to Karol. "And it and everything past it is full of knights." Hugo said to Karol.

"Anyway, if we have to get out of here. I'd say breaking out through the harbor is our best bet!" Rita said to Karol. "Ah, escaping by sea might be better, yes." Karol said to everyone as he figured it out. "Exactly. Sorry, Patty, but can I ask you to pilot the ship?" Yuri asked Patty. "Aye-aye, Leave it to me. Time to show you what I can do." Patty said to Yuri. "Good to hear." I said to Patty. "I hope it's actually got a new ceres blastia. Though." Patty asked everyone.

"I think so Kaufman isn't the kind of person to break a deal, so long as we always keep our end of the deal." Ava said to Patty. "Perfect! Then I'll handle the blastia. Hey, where's the old man, and his Pokemon…?" Rita said to everyone, as we realised Raven, Drilbur, and Sableye were missing. "We don't have time for this." I said to everyone looking for them. "You don't need to worry about them. They'll turn up soon enough." Yuri said to me.

"Right. He's the sort of guy who shows up as soon as you start to feel relieved he's gone. And his Pokemon are a little like that." Judith said to me. "You got a point." I said to Judith. "Yuri Lowell, Oliver Forest, this is the end of the line!" A voice behind us said. We then turned around and saw Sodia was holding her sword in her right hand, while her left arm just dangled. And Witcher ran towards us. "Great what's it going to take to get rid of her." I said to everyone.

"Lady Estellise, you must return with us. Captain Flynn is worried about you." Witcher said ro Estelle. "But I, I.." Estelle said not knowing what to say. "You got a lot of nerves asking that. Attacking my home. Threatening my guild and my friends. Leave now." Hugo said to Witcher. "Yeah Estelle's not going back with you!" Rita said as she fired a fireball at them. Witcher tried to fire a fireball to counter Rita's fireball, but Metang used Psychic and sent it right back at them. The two fireballs made a small explosion that knocked them back and off their feet.

"All right, let's hurry to harbor!" Yuri said to everyone. "I hope Zygarde got our backs." I said as we started to run to the ship. But we stopped when we noticed Flynn standing at the end of the bridge leading out of the coliseum, with Rookidee on his shoulder and Riolu by his side, but both had this confused and worried look on their faces.

"Flynn." Estelle said to Flynn. "Looks like we can't put one over on this guy." Rita said to everyone. "Return Lady Estelle, Lord Forest, and the stone." Flynn coldly said to us, making me get in front of Ava. "Flynn, what do you want with the apatheia?" Estelle asked Flynn. "So the Knights are trying to get a hold of this, too." Yuri said to Flynn. "That's why the Hunting Blades were here…" Karol said to us. "Why is this thing so important?" I asked everyone. "It's like what the guy in Yormgen said… The apatheia brings only chaos to humanity. So it's true." Patty said to everyone.

"Manectric." Manectric said to everyone. "What is Manectric?" I asked Manectric only to see Sodia and Witcher coming at us. "Hand it over." Flynn said as he drew his sword. "Whoa, is he serious?" Karol asked everyone. "Looks like it." I said to Karol. "Just what the hell are you doing? Using the military to get control of the city? That's taking things a bit far. Maybe you're carrying out your "duty." but you can't just go around doing everything by force." Yuri said to Flynn.

"Captain, awaiting orders!" Sodia said to Flynn. "I thought you were with the Knights to change things like that. I don't know why I'm the one who has to be saying this stuff. You know it full well yourself." Yuri said to Flynn. "Cat got your tongue? I mean, how's this any different from what I've come to expect from the Empire?" Yuri said to Flynn. "Yeah in your quest to fix the Empire, you became the same as Ragou and Cumore." I said to Flynn.

"Are you gonna follow Ragou and Cumore's examples?!" Yuri asked Flynn. "If I did, would you just kill me as well? Would you do away with me like you did Ragou and Cumore?" Flynn asked Yuri. "huh?... What does he…" Karol quietly said. "If you go and become a villain, you won't be giving me much choice." Yuri said to Flynn. "And you are becoming a villain. I've seen people like you before. Trying to fix things only to turn around to destroy it all." I said to Flynn. "Yuri? Oliver?" Patty said to us. "You may act like you care about others, but all you care about is your next promotion." I said to Flynn.

Than Rookidee and Riolu looked at each other, and Rookidee started to glow. Than Rookidee's body started to grow and his belly became light blue, it's head grew out of its body and had black feathers around a blue beak, his wings gre longer and had black feathers on the end of them and he had long legs sharp black talons on them. "Corvisquire." Rookidee said as he finished evolving. "Really it evolves now?" I said looking at Corvisquire, as Estelle looked him up.

Corvisquire

The Raven Pokemon

Flying

Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokemon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies.

"Corvisquire." Corvisquire said to Riolu as Estelle put the Pokedex away. "Riolu." Riolu said as he uses Bone Rush. But to everyone's surprise Riolu didn't use Bone Rush on us, he used it on Flynn knocking Flynn's sword out of his hands. "Corvisquire." Corvisquire said as his legs glowed white and hit Flynn in the chest forcing him to the ground. Once Flynn was on the ground Riolu and Corvisquire then got on Flynn with a Bone Rush and a Peck aimed right at his neck.

"Captain!" Sodia said as she and Witcher rushed to Flynn's side. "Gallade usse Psychic." Hugo said to Gallade. "Gallade." Gallade said as his eyes turned pink. Then Sodia, Witcher, and some rope nearby was picked up with Psychic. Then Gallade tired Sodia and Witcher at the top of some light poles. "Looks like your Pokemon even knows you're the bad guy here. Flynn, you may think you're important, but like I said yesterday. You're nothing. And you will always be nothing without us." I said to Flynn.

"You mind saving this charming little squabble for another time? We're sort of in a hurry, right?!" Rita said to me. "Right let's move everyone." I said to everyone. "Humph." Yuri said as he started to run. "Come on!" Rita said to everyone. "Corvisquire, Riolu you two can come with us."

"Corvisquire / Riolu." The two of them said as they stopped their attacks and started to follow us. "Captain!" Sodia said to Flynn as she tried to get free.

But Flynn didn't move, he just got up and watched us leave. A few minutes later we got to our ship. Once we got to our ship our Pokemon turned back to their normal forms. "What was Flynn saying about Yuri and Ragou?" Karol asked Yuri and me as we got on the ship. "Save it!" Rita said to Karol. "You men raise the anchor!" Rita said to Hugo and Gallade. "On it." Hugo said to Rita.

Then Raven, Drilbur, Sableye came out of nowhere. "Yeah, men, raise the anchor." Raven said to Hugo and Gallade. "Raven! Where did you come from?" Karol asked Raven. "Don't s'pose it'd be too much trouble ta take one more with us." Raven said as Harry walked out of the shadows. "Hey, that's the guy…!" Karol said as he noticed Harry. "Fine, sure, whatever. Hugo how's that anchor?" I said to Raven and Hugo. "Done." Hugo said to me. "PATTY WERE ALL ABOARD AND THE ANCHOR IS UP! GET US OUT OF HERE!" I yelled to Patty. "YOU GOT IT!" Patty said as we took off.

It wasn't long after we left when we ran into the blockade. "What are we going to do now?" I said looking at a blockade. Then a giant stream of energy went right past us. "What the?" Karol said as the energy became a dragon. I then turned my head to see that the energy came from Zygarde, who was on top of the coliseum firing the energy. "It's Zygarde and he's using Dragon Pulse." I said to everyone, as the Dragon Pulse went through all of the ships of the blockade in less then a second.

Then all the ships exploded. The force of the shock wave then force use to the floor. And then before we could react the ship started to go ten times faster and then we went past the sinking ships. "Full speed ahead!" Patty said loving this speed. "Where did all this speed come from?" I asked everyone holding on to the railing for dear life. "What's happening?" Judith said as she went to the back of the ship. "Judith?" Yuri said as I went after her.

When I got to the back I noticed Rita looking at a glowing red blastia, while Estelle and Ava held Belius' apatheia which was glowing the same colors. "What happened?" I asked the girls. "I don't know. I dropped Belius' apatheia next to the blastia and then this happened." Ava said to me.

"Where is this power coming from?! Is it the ceres blastia?" Rita said. Then I heard Karol say. "Yeah! We broke though!" Then I heard Patty say. "The rubber handling's perfect!"

"What's the deal with this formula…? I've never seen anything like it." Rita said as she opened the blastia's controls. "What?" Estelle said looking at Belius cyano ciel. Then Judith and Vibrava came to us with her spear head in Judith's hand. Then Judith pushed Rita out of the way. "What are you doing?!" Estelle asked Judith. Judith didn't say anything she just got ready to stab the blastia. "No. Stop!" Rita said to Judith, as Judith started to attack. "Judith!" I said to Judith as she stabbed the blastia, shaking the ship and stopping it.

Then everyone else made it to the back of the ship. "Why would you…?" Rita asked Judith as Judith and Vibrava got onto the every edge of the back of the ship. "This is the path I have chosen." Judith said as a familiar roar filled the sky. "You're that dragon freak!" Rita said as everyone realised who Judith was. "Judith! Wait!" Yuri said to Judith. "Don't go!" I said to Judith.

"Goodbye." Judith said as she and Vibrava jumped off the ship and onto Ba'ul back. "Judith. Gallade return. Noivern come out." Hugo said as he returned Gallade to his Pokeball and let Noivern out of his Pokeball. Then Hugo jumped on Noivern's back and went after Judith. "Hugo not you too." I said as we all ran to one side of the ship. "Judit?! Hugo?!" Estelle said as they left. "Why…? Why?!" Rita yelled as they disappeared from sight.

Then things got quiet on the ship and everyone needed some time alone so everyone gave each other some space. Ava and I then returned Manectric and Houndoom to their Pokeballs. But we have a problem. With the ship's bastia broken we were just drifting on the sea. So me, Yuri, Raven, and Patty had a meeting in the ship's cabin with all the Pokemon asleep on the floor.

"Our genius mages is given' the ceres blastia her undivided attention. Sounds like the core on the new blastia's on the new blastia's pretty much totalled." Raven said to us. "It's a good thing we had that merchant lady change the ceres blastia for us." Patty said. "I don't think that it was a good thing. After all, the old one didn't have that weird problem." I said to Patty. "So, Luckily, we still had the old blastia around? Either way, looks like we'll be drifting out here for now." Yuri said to everyone. "Looks that way." Raven said to everyone.

"I'm worried about the ship's heading. I'll go check it out." Patty said to us. "Ok Patty." I said to Patty. Patty then left us. "What are Karol and Estelle up to?" Yuri asked Raven. "They're a bit down in the dumps. Why don't ya two go check in on 'em?" Raven said to us. "You'd probably be better at cheering them up, old man." Yuri said to Raven. "You know I'm not cut out for that stuff." Raven said as he left us.

"Guess I've had a hand in dampening the mood around here, too." Yuri said to me. "No it's just been a bad day, where things just keep getting worse one right after another. It just now started to sink in. All the things that happened. And that is dampening the mood." I said to Yuri.

"Yeah, hey Oliver. Any idea what happened with Banette's Mega Evolution?" Yuri asked me. "Yuri I admit the fact that you two where able to Mega Evolve, at all is imperative since you only know each other for a week. But the reason it didn't work is because you and Banette still have some problems to work through." I said to Yuri. "Any idea what I should do?" Yuri asked me. "Just have a heart to heart talk with Banette. I'm sure that will help a lot." I said to Yuri. "Speaking of heart to heart. Might as well see how they're doing." Yuri said to me. "Ok let's go." I said to Yuri as we left the cabin.

When we got out we saw everyone on different parts of the ships. "So who should we talk to first?" I asked Yuri. "Let's start with Rita." Yuri said to me. We then walked to Rita. Rita was tinkering with the engine. "Does it look like it'll be okay?" Yuri asked Rita. "Geez. This isn't usable at all…" Yuri said to Rita. "Looks like it." I said to Yuri.

"Damn it! I can't believe that Judith was... Why was she with us in the first place? That dragon… Ba'ul. Right? It attacked us back in Heliord, didn't it?" Rita said to us not looking at us. "Yes." I said to Rita. "You've got a good memory." Yuri said to Rita. "That's not the sort of thing I easily forget. Do you think they were going after Estelle back then? Yes… She knew. She knew about Estelle…" Rita said to us, still not looking at us.

"You two didn't already know that she was that dragon-freak, did you?" Rita said to us, turning to us. "Yeah." Yuri and I said to Rita at the same time. "Damn it, I can't believe you two…!" Rita said looking away from us. "We all have our reasons for what we've done. You and Judy both." Yuri said to Rita. "You mean." Rita said to Yuri. "Oliver and me too, of course." Yuri said to Rita.

"You mean Ragou and Cumore, and keeping that a secret? Hmph, I don't care much about what happened to them. What you did may have been a crime. But if you ask me, though the severity of the crime may differ, there's no such thing as someone suspected without cause." Rita said to us. "Are you saying the same goes for you?" Yuri asked Rita.

"Who knows? I mean, even that woman was.." Rita said to us. "You're talking about Judith aren't you?" I asked Rita. "Judy was a loyal member of our party. That's how it looked to me, at least…" Yuri said to Rita. "Yeah, that's true, but… if she had just sharde what she knew about the Child of the Full Moon. and about the Entelexeia… Estelle's problems might already have been solved by now." Rita said to us, turning to us. "It depends, doesn't it? Phaeroh told her she was poison, after all." Yuri said to Rita.

"You know, it's possible she knew where Phaeroh was from the very beginning." Rita said to us. "Yeah, maybe so." Yuri said to Rita. "Either way. I'll ever forgive her for breaking that blastia!" Rita said to us. "And that's the reason she didn't tell us." I said to Rita. "What are you talking about?" Rita asked me. "Rita, your first and only property is blastia. If Judith told you that she was the Dragon Rider. You would kill her before she could explain anything. So we still would have done what we did. The only difference is that it would take longer." I said to Rita.

"I wouldn't have done that." Rita said to me. "We both know that you would. From the very first moment we meet you put blastia ahead of us. You tried to kill me and Karol for just touching a blastia without your permission. And when we battle Ragou. You got mad because he was messing with the blastia, not because he killed all those people." I said to Rita. "No, that's not true." Rita said to me. "Yes it is. Rita, Judith didn't tell you because, while you two were friends. You put blastia first and her second. She knew that if she told you. You kill her." I said to Rita. "I… I havet to... get back to work." Rita said, turning away from us.

We then walked to Repede. "So many things to deal with… I'm a little mixed up." Yuri said to Rapede. Repede then barked. "Sorry for dragging you around Repede." Yuri said to Rapede. Repede then barked again. "Right… There's nothing else to be sorry about after all these years." Yuri said to Repede. Repede then barked and this time Yuri laughed. "OK, so what should we start with… Before anything else, we'll need to have the ship moving." Yuri said to Repede. This time Repede whined. "Yuri let's go talk to the others." I said to Yuri.

Yuri and I then walked to Yuri and Harry. "Ah, there you are, boys." Raven said to us. "You sure have your own way of doing things, old man. Then again. I guess that's your only redeeming quality." Yuri said to us. "So what are you up old man?" I asked Raven. "Hey, way to hurt a man's feelings! I've got a ton of redeemin' qualities!" Raven said to us. "No you don't." I said to Raven. "And if you do. That's one list you can just keep to yourself." Yuri said to Raven.

"I hafta tell ya, I was so surprised to find out that Belius was that beast-sorry. I mean, Entelexeia, was it?" Raven said to us. "Yeah, but it seems like the story about her engineering the Great War was a lie." Yuri said to us. "Looks like Hugo was right." I said to them. "It was prolly just an excuse the Empire made up for them to invade Nordopolica." Raven said to us. "Maybe, yeah." Yuri said to us. "This just makes the Empire worse." I said to them. "So, is that The Don's grandson? How'd he end up here, anyway?" Yuri asked Raven. "Yeah what are you doing here?" I asked Harry.

"This idiot got fed false information by Leviathan's Claw and acted without thinking." Raven said to us. "I heard that an ally of The Don's had been captured by a monster, and I thought I'd come to save him. And then I heard that the monster possessed apatheia, so…" Harry said but stopped. "Leviathan's Claw." I said with some anger in my voice. "They said that Belius had been captured?" Yuri asked them.

"Apparently that's what Leviathan's Claw said. So they went down there with the Hunting Blades to kill the monster." Raven said to us. "And that monster was actually Belius, so even though you got the Apatheia, the Ally you were supposed to save ended up dying." Yuri said to Harry. "Yeah." Harry said to us. "You need ta learn ta take things slower, Check your information before rush out all ready for battle." Raven said to Harry. "He's right haven't you ever heard. "Fail to prepare and prepare to fail."?" I said to Harry.

"Damn it, what the hell do you know!" Harry said to me and Raven. "More than you know apparently." I said to Harry. "Things like this happen, I guess. Having The Don for a grandfather puts a lot of pressure on the boy." Raven said to us. "Anyone with a grandfather like that would be expected to work their butt off, yeah." Yuri said to Raven.

"Everyone expects too much of him. So he works hard not to let anyone down, and then things like this happen…" Raven said to us. "Palestralle's not going to be too happy about this. Even if he didn't have a choice, but to fight, I doubt they'll take that for an excuse." Yuri said to us. "I wish Hugo or Natz was here maybe they could calm everyone down." I said to everyone. "That Natz guy should forgive us, I think." Raven said to us.

"That would be nice. But Hugo or Natz isn't the Duce. it's the others in the guild we have to worry about." Yuri said to us. "Well, I don't know how to get out of this mess!" Raven said to us. "We'll figure it out but first. What are going to do with Harry?" I asked Raven. "For now I'm going to take him to see The Don." Raven said to us. "Well then see if you can find us a place to dock that's not Capua Torim. I would rather not walk to Dahngrest." I said to Raven. "You got it, I just need to figure out where we are." Raven said to me.

"Good. Oh and Harry. You're not your grandfather. So stop trying to be him. Just be you. That should help you a lot." I said to Harry as we walked away. But as we did I head Raven say something about an eye for an eye. And I know that phase can only mean trouble. Our next stop was Karol.

"Oh, Yuri… Oliver…" Karol said to us, as he noticed us. "What's the matter? You look more serious than usual." Yuri said to Karol. "Yeah… I was just thinking about how hard it is to put a guild together. I thought things might go okay since I was with you guys, but.." Karol said to us. "Karol life is full of both good and bad times. Now we are in a bad time, we just have to get through it." I said as I set next to Karol, placing an arm over him.

"Have you lost faith in your ability to lead the guild?" Yuri asked Karol. "No, not at all! I'm working as hard as I can…!" Karol said to Yuri. "All right, then I'll borrow from you attitude and do the best I can, too!" Yuri said to Karol. "You two already work enough, we need some fun." I said to everyone, make everyone laugh a little. "Hey, Yuri. can I ask you something?" Karol asked Yuri. "Yeah?" Yuri said to Karol.

"Is it true that you… that you killed Ragou and Cumore?" Karol asked Yuri. "It's true." Yuri said to Karol. "And me and Ava saw him do it." I said to Karol. "How could you all keep that from me?" Karol asked us. "I kept meaning to tell you. I'm sorry." Yuri said to Karol. "And it wasn't my secret to tell." I said to Karol. "Even though I think it's bad… you don't regret killing them, do you?" Karol asked Yuri. "Yeah. I don't." Yuri said to Karol.

"I just don't know… Flynn and Estelle were trying to bring them to justice, too… Did you really have to kill them?" Karol asked Yuri. "I think there are some things that you have to do, even if they're a crime. Someone has to do them, even if it means taking the blame." Yuri said to Karol.

"And remember Karol. We had Ragou guilty of a lot of horrible crimes and all he got was a slap on the wrist. If that's what they do when one of nobles commits treason, then they would do nothing for the other stuff. As for Estelle and Flynn. They never listen to her. And Flynn is just a show. They made him a captain because they didn't want to admit that we solved their problems." I said to Karol.

"Maybe so, but even still..." Karol said to us. "I just did what had to be done. You shouldn't force yourself to try to accept what I did." Yuri said to Karol. "Yeah." Karol said to us. "And we'll understand whatever you choose to do." I said to Karol as we got up and left. We then walked to Patty who was at the helm.

"How's the ship heading?" Yuri asked Patty. "Hmm. apparently we're being pushed North by the currant." Patty said to us. "Hopefully use riding the current will keep us away from any more trouble." I said to Patty. "Sorry for making you come all the way out here with us Patty." Yuri said to Patty. "Don't worry about it. This was my plan from the beginning, anyway." Patty said to us.

"Well, I'm happy that we've got someone who knows how to pilot a ship, 've got to go treasure hunting to get your memory back, right?" Yuri asked Patty. "That's okay. I'm just gonna take it easy. Life's longer than a bright-red eel's aer or a slimy eel's body." Patty said to us. "I have no idea what you mean." I said to Patty. "Well, it's better than living life fast and reckless." Yuri said to me. "Besides, it ain't bad being here with you two." Patty said to us. "I'm glad to hear that." Yuri said to Patty.

"When I think about that, I start feeling like maybe my past doesn't really matter." Patty said to us. "You know sometimes your past doesn't define you. It is now that defines you. The choice you make in the moment." I said to Patty. "But that doesn't mean you're going to quit searching for your memories, does it?" Yuri asked Patty. "Aye… I'd like to know more about my grandfather. So I can figure out what I'm going to do in the future and how I should think about the name Aifread." Patty said to us.

"I see. Then I guess you can't stay with us forever, huh?" Yuri said to Patty. "Aye. But I've realized that there are many more good things when I'm with others than when I'm by myself." Patty said, not looking at us. "Well whatever you do. Just now that we are friends and we will always welcome you." I said to Patty. "So.. When my memory returns, I'd like to travel with all of you again?" Patty asked us.

"Of course." I said to Patty. "Yeah. If we get the chance that might not be a bad idea." Yuri said to Patty. "When that time comes maybe Judy can also..." Patty said but I interrupted her. "I don't think Judith will join us." I said to Patty. "Really?" Patty asked us. "I don't know. Judy has her own reasons for not being able to be with us. I hope your reasons haven't changed by then, though." Yuri said to Patty. "We'll let you get back to driving the ship." I said to Patty as we started to leave. "Yeah." Patty said to us.

Then we walked to Estelle, who was overlooking the sea. "You ok Estelle?" I asked Estelle. But Estelle didn't say anything. "Can you see anything?" Yuri asked Estelle. "I don't see anything at all.. After what happened to Belius… and with Judith breaking our blastia and running away… and Hugo going after her… I just don't know what to think anymore." Estelle said to us. "Oh yeah?" Yuri said to Estelle. "It has been a confusing night." I said to Estelle.

"And then you went and cut your arm like that." Estelle said to Yuri. "Heh, that was painful." Yuri said to Estelle. "It's not funny!" Estelle said to Yuri. "She's right." I said to Yuri. "But she healed me." Yuri said to us. "I couldn't just ignore you, could I? I can't just ignore someone who's injured in front of me…" Estelle said to Yuri.

"So what are you all rattled about? Don't you remember? Belius said to take good care of your kind nature." Yuri said to Estelle. "My power is the reason that the Entelxeia hate me, isn't it?" Estelle asked us. "Estelle, you're different. I'm sure the people with your power in the past were all looking for a fight, or crushing their enemies." I said to Estelle.

"Still what's with you being able to use magic without blastia…" Yuri said to Estelle. "Even if I make an effort not to use my power on the Entelexeia to them I'll still be evil. That's why Phaeroh was trying to kill me." Estelle said to us. "But Belius said you should try to meet Phaeroh, didn't she?" Yuri asked Estelle. "Yeah, in order to discover my destiny. But I wonder… is that really right?" Estelle said to us.

"Estelle your destiny is your own. But it's up to the choices you make. So follow your heart and you will find your destiny." I said to Estelle. "Right I'm the one who'll decide my destiny." Estelle said to us. "Now you've got the idea." Yuri said to Estelle. "Ok Estelle we're going to bed, don't stay up too late." I said as me and Yuri went to the cabin.

Near the Cabin Ava was looking at the stars in the sky. "Go get her man." Yuri said as he left me. I then took a deep breath and walked to her. "So how are you doing?" I asked Ava. "Why?" Ava asked me "Huh?" I said to Ava. "Why do you still love me? The first thing I did when I saw you after so long was shoot arrows at you, I threw you overboard, I left you, and destroyed our memories." Ava said to me as she pulled out a yellow book I haven't seen in so long.

I then noticed that the book was covered in burns and water stains. "What happened?" I asked Ava. "I tried to burn it, but Delpohx put it out, and then I tried to throw it in a lake, but again Delphox fished it out." Ava said to me. "If you were trying to destroy it, then why do you still have it?" I asked her. "Delphox kept it. I got it back after we left Capua Torim. But you still didn't answer my question. Why do you still love me?" Ava asked me.

"Because, while you may have tried to forget our time together. I never could and didn't want to. The time we shared together was some of the best times of my life." I said to Ava. "Even now when I killed the leader of Palestralle?" Ava asked me. "You killed her to save me. It may not be the best memory, but it's one that will not forget just like all the others." I said to Ava. Then Ava started to shake. "Hey what wrong now Ava." I said taking her hand.

"I'm just scared about what happens next." Ava said to me. "Hey it's ok. No matter what happens. I will stand by you and protect you." I said to Ava. "You will?" Ava asked me. "Of course, I'll fight Arceus myself to protect you." I said to Ava. "You'll probably lose that fight." Ava said to me. "Oh, definitely, but I would still do it." I said to Ava, as we started to laugh a little. Then Ava handed me Belius' apatheia. "Here you should be the one to give this to The Don. Hopefully if things go bad in Dahngrest you can use this as a bargaining chip." Ava said to me.

"I'm sure it won't come towards it." I said to Ava. "I'll feel better if you have it." Ava said to me. "Ok I'll take it." I said to Ava as I took Belius' apatheia. "Thank you Oliver. I'm going to bed." Ava said to me as she started to leave and I put Belius' apatheia in my bag. Then Ava turned around and kissed me, on my cheek. "Night Oliver." Ava said to me before she entered the cabin. Then I fainted.

"Oliver? Oliver? Wake up Oliver." A voice said to me, as I slowly opened my eyes to see a Yuri standing over me with a blue sky behind him. "Ah morning." I said to Yuri as I got up and noticed everyone, but Ava, Estelle, Togetic, Audino, Corvisquire, and Riolu, was standing around me. "What are you doing on the floor?" Karol asked me. "Oh I was just sleeping under the stars. "But why? Last thing I remember was you were talking to Ava and-." Yuri said to me but I interrupted him. "Anway Rita, how's the engine?" I asked Rita quickly to change the subject.

Everyone then gave me a wired look. "Well. I've finished making adjustments to the blastia." Rita said to me. "I've checked all the other parts too. Everything's ready." Patty said to me. "Good." I said to everyone. "Now we'll be able to use the boat again." Karol said to us. "If ya don't mind, I'd like ta bring Harry back to Dahngrest first." Raven asked everyone. "We need to head to Dahngrest, too." Yuri said to Raven. "Right we've got to deliver Belius' apatheia." Karol said to everyone.

"Why don't ya let old Raven take care of that for ya? Whaddya say?" Raven said to us. "No, I'll give it to The Don. I told Ava that I would be the one to give it to The Don." I said to Raven. "Ava got you wrapped around her finger doesn't she, lover boy." Raven said to me. "What no. Ava just feels better if I was the one to do it." I said to Raven. "Anyway, it wasn't a formal request, but I feel we should honor Belius' dying wish. It would be unjust if we didn't deliver it." Karol said to everyone.

"Yeah, Besides, we're also at fault for Belius ending up like she did. We've gotta own up to what we've done. The Don also might know why everyone wants these apatheria so badly." Yuri said to everyone. "He was tryin' ta get his hands on one too, don't forget." Raven said to everyone. "If we can learn more about the apatheia, we might find out why Flynn's been using such extreme measures." Yuri said to everyone.

"Ok so we're going to go see The Don." I said to everyone. "Well then, I'll make sure ta set things up with Don for ya." Raven said to us. "Really?" Karol asked Raven. "A wiser man than I once said "Even chance acquaintances are decreed by destiny." If it's meant ta be I don't mind putin' in the effort for Brave Vesperia." Raven said to us. "I'm going to meet with The Don too." Rita said to everyone. "Rita?" I said to Rita. "You too, Rita?" Karol asked Rita.

"A lot has happened. And I get the feeling it's all connected to this Aptheia somehow, so…" Rita said to everyone. "It was The Don that told us ta go find the Apatheria in the first place, he just might have something up his sleeve." Raven said to everyone. "So rita, you're with us as far as Dahngrest?" Yuri asked Rita. "I'm going to Dahngrest too." Patty said to us. "Because going with us is profitable? Well, as long as you're piloting the ship, this works out well for us too." Yuri said to Patty.

"It's not just that, I'm going because it sounds like there might be clues about my memory in Dahngrest. Didn't you say that The Don in Dahngrest was a friend of Aifread's." Patty said to everyone. "Hm? Oh, yeah. I was talking about how Aifread and The Don worked together when they fought the empire." Raven said to Patty. "Then The Don might be able to give me some clues about my memory." Patty said to Raven.

"Well, if that's the case then let's travel together." Yuri said to them. "Geez, that old geezer sure is popular, I hope he doesn't get so busy that he faints." Raven said to us. "I'm sure The Don could handle it. You on the other hand probably not." I said to Raven. "That only leaves Estelle and Ava." Karol said as we looked at the Capin. "I think Estelle's needs some time alone. And Ava needs some time to think." Rita said to everyone. "I agree." Yuri said to Rita. "Me too." I said to Rita.

"I wonder when we'll see Judith and Hugo again. Hey, once we've delivered the apatheia, let's go see if we can find them?" Karol asked us. "That's not a bad idea. Besides she broke the guild laws. And you know we can't just let that slide." Yuri said to Karol. "R-right, At least not without hearing her reason."

"And I'm all for getting Hugo back." I said to Yuri and Karol. "But first up is Dahngrest." Yuri said to Me. "Right Raven, any idea where we can dock this ship?" I asked Raven. "There'll be a stretch of beach along the southern edge of Tolbyccia where we can lay anchor. Is secluded and rarely anyone goes there. I'd wager that'd put us as close to Dahngrest as we could hope with getting into trouble." Raven said to us. "Okay, shrouds like we've got our destination." Yuri said to everyone.

"Ok Patty, start heading south. Raven tries and figure out where this beach is, and keep an eye on Harry. Rita keep an eye on the engine. I don't want it to starnaded out here again. Yuri, Karol, Repede, you three and the Pokemon will be keeping a look out just in case we spot trouble." I said to everyone. "What about Estelle and Ava?" Karol asked me. "Leave those two alone. They need to work through things. Talk to them if you want, but otherwise just give them some space. Now let's get to work, people." I said to everyone.

They all nodded their heads and started the jobs I gave them. But I still had a few questions. Where are Judith and Hugo? How long will we be at sea? Why is everyone after these Apatheria? How will yesterday affect everyone's bonds? What's going to happen to us in Dahngrest? And the most important question in my mind. Does Ava still have feelings for me? But now isn't the time to ask, we got a lot of problems to work through first. I talk to her when we have a moment of peace.
