Persona Royal Eclipse

by PhantomCross19

Here is the redo for my Persona 5 Story. In this story, a female Pokemon Trainer from Alola, who just wants answers about her past, accidentally breaks the barrier between the two worlds and starts flooding the other world with Pokemon. Luckily she made some friends to help her and they need her help to steal some hearts.

8. Chapter 7

Chapter 7; Awaken Carmen

Location; Shujin Academy, Aoyama-Itchome

"I can't believe Ryuji was ok with that plan." Aqua said to Ren as they were on the train going home. Aqua was still mad that Ryuji was on board with Morgana's plan. Ren then said to her. "You know Ryuji had a bone to pick with Kamoshida."

"I know. And I understand being thieves to seal his desires part, but if we cause the smallest error, we could kill him." Aqua said as they reached the station to transfer to the train that will take them home.

Location; Station Square, Shibuya

"Will you please give it a rest!?" They heard Ann yelling. They looked around and saw her talking on her phone. They then heard her say to whoever was on the other. "I told you, I'm not feeling up to it… Wait, what!? That's not what you promised! And you call yourself a teacher!?"

"Could she be talking to Kamoshida?" Aqua whispered to Ren, who whispered back to her. "I think so."

"This has nothing to do with Shiho!" Ann said to Kamoshida, before he hung up the phone. Ann then crouched down and said. "Shiho… starting position…"

"I'm going to talk to her." Ren said and Aqua waved goodbye as she went to the train. "Are you ok?" Ren said to Ann. Ann was surprised to see him, so she backed away a little and then realized that Ren heard her. She then said to Ren. "Wait… Were you listening?"

"Not on purpose."

"Haven't you heard of privacy?"

"But you were loud, how could I not hear it?"

"You're right. I was out of line. Sorry. So how much did you hear?"

"Enough to know you have a problem with Kamoshida."

"It's nothing at all. Nothing…" Ann said with tears starting to form in her eyes. Ann whipped them away and then ran away. Ren ran after her. People did notice them, but didn't care. "Stop following me… Just leave me alone!" Ann said as Ren had caught up to her. Ren said to Ann looking right into her eyes. "I can't."

"Why…? Why do you keep worrying about me?" Ann said, holding back the tears. Ren then pulled out a handkerchief and said to Ann. "Let's go somewhere safe."

"What the heck…? I really don't get you…" Ann said, taking the handkerchief. Ren took Ann to Shibuya Big Bang Burger. They found a table and Ann said as Ren was giving her a cup of water. "I don't have anything to talk about with you. It was just an argument…"

"...With Kamoshida?" Ren said, noticing the stress she was under. Ann then started to talk to Ren. "You've heard the rumors… haven't you? About Mr. Kamoshida. Everyone says we're getting it on."

"But it's not true."

"Yeah. That was him on the other line. I avoided giving him my number… for the longest time… He told me to go to his place after this… You know what it means."

"I do, but why can't you just turn him down?"

"If I turn him down, he said he'd take my friend off as a regular on the team…"

"Oh."

"I've been telling myself this is all for Shiho's sake… I can't take it anymore… I've had enough of this… I hate him! But still… Shiho's my best friend. She's all I have left at the sorry excuse of a school! Tell me… What should I do…?" Ann said as she started to cry. Ren felt angry that Kamoshida was using Ann's friendship with Shiho to take advantage of her, it made him very angry. But Ann didn't see as she was wiping the tears away. "Sorry… I shouldn't have asked. It's not your problem."

"No, but I want to help."

"What… What are you even saying? We've barely even talked before…"

"I like helping people. Even if it gets me into trouble."

"...You're so weird. Usually everyone just ignores me. Are you really a bad person? I've heard people talking about you, but… I just don't see it."

"And what are the rumors now?"

"That you assaulted someone… That you almost killed them…"

"They get more exaggerated."

"Yeah, I kinda had a feeling they were all just exaggerations. You seemed lonely–almost like you didn't belong anywhere… We're the same in that regard. Maybe that's why it was so easy for me to talk to you." Ann said and then she said what she was thinking. "Is there really no way for me to help Shiho? I wish he'd just change his mind… Like, forget about me, and everything… As if something like that would ever happen…"

"It could happen."

"I wasn't asking for a serious response. But I do feel a bit better now. …I'm gonna head home. Don't tell anyone what I told you, okay?"

"I won't. But what about Kamoshida?"

"I'll try and think of a way to persuade Kamoshida. Well… thanks." Ann said as she left Ren. After hearing everything Ann told her, Ren was on board with Morgana's plan.

Location; Aqua House, Yongen-Jaya

After Ren took the train home, he went over to Aqua house, wanting to talk with Aqua about what had happened and discuss more on Morgana's plan. Once he reached Aqua house, he rang the bell and heard Aqua say. "Just a minute." Aqua then opened the door and said after seeing Ren. "Ren, what are you doing here and how do you know this was my house?"

"I need to talk to you and this one has your name on it." Ren said, pointing to the name plate next to the door bell. Aqua looked at it and then said to Ren. "Fine. But let Rockruff out. He can enjoy dinner with my Pokemon."

"Ok." Ren said as he entered Aqua house and let Rockruff out of his Pokeball. As Rockruff meets up with Aqua Pokemon, Aqua said to Ren as she got the food for the Pokemon ready. "I'm guessing you want to talk about Morgana's plan?"

"Yes."

"What's there to talk about? I'm not going to change my mind."

"But I am ok with Morgana's plan." Ren said, causing Aqua to stop and then she said to him. "Ren you can't be serious?"

"Just hear me out. After you left. I talked to Ann and learned that Kamoshida is using her friendship with Shiho to take advantage of her."

"I see and I understand why you are on board with Morgana's plan. But I am still not on board."

"But Aqua…"

"No buts." Aqua said with anger. She then calmed down and said to Ren as she worked on the food. "Look Ren. I'm not stupid. I understand that Morgana's plan is the only option we have left. But risking a life goes against my personal beliefs."

"Are you worried about Kamoshida?"

"No. He is the worst person I have ever met. I'm worried about you, Ryuji, and all of our Pokemon. And I have a feeling that Morgana's plan has a lot of maybe in it. And like Ms Kangofu says, "If a plan has maybe's then it is a bad plan."

"So you are worried about us?"

"Yeah." Aqua said before sighing, and then said to Ren. "Look, if Morgana can patch up holes in his plan and limit the danger we might face. Then I am on board." Aqua then gave the food to the Pokemon. "But until then I am going to look for more options."

"Ok, I understand."

"Thank you Ren." Aqua said as Rockruff finished his dinner. "Are you ready to go home, Rockruff?" Ren said to Rockruff, who nodded yes. Ren returned Rockruff to his Pokeball and then said to Aqua. "Goodnight. See you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Ren." Aqua said as Ren left Aqua's house and went back to Leblanc. "...You're late. Where have you been?" Sojiro said as Ren entered Leblanc. Ren then said to Sojiro. "I was studying with Aqua at her house." Sojiro didn't truly believe him, and then said to Ren. "...By the way, you haven't been hanging around any bad influences, have you?"

"I actually made some friends."

"Huh. They've gotta be pretty strange to want to spend time with you. Just make sure you've careful who your friends are. You don't want them ruining your life. *yawn* Look at the time. Seriously, think about how I feel having to stay up here waiting for you."

"Sorry."

"In the future, try not to come back so damn late. Understood?"

"Yes sir." Ren said as he went to his room and Sojiro locked up and went home.

Location; Shujin Academy, Aoyama-Itchome

The next day, after arriving at school, Ryuji texted Aqua during class about Morgana's plan. She got frustrated about how much she was hearing about Morgana's plan, so she left her classroom and went to the roof to vent. She let out her Pokemon, wondering what side they were on, and said to them. "Guy please tell me you are not on board with this plan?"

[Well…] Fletchinder said, hinting that they were on board. "You guys can not be serious?" Aqua said, taking a seat. Phanpy got onto Aqua lap and Brionne said to her. [We understand that you aren't on board with the plan. But after what Kamoshida did to the Pokemon in his castle. We can't just stand by and let him do that again.]

"Do they speak for you, Phanpy?"

[Yes.] Phanpy said as she got off of Aqua lap. Aqua got up and sighed. "Look like everyone, but you are on my plan." Morgana said as he appeared on top of the school air conditioning system. Aqua was going to say something back to Morgana, but stopped when the door opened. They all hid and saw Shiho walking toward the fence. As Shiho climbed over the fence, Aqua got out of hiding and went over to Shiho. Aqua then said to Shiho, who was now sitting on top of the fence. "Shiho what are you doing?"

"I'm ending it."

"Ending what?"

"Ending the pain Kamoshida is causing me and Ann." Shiho said as she got onto the ledge. Some of the students then saw her and that caused an uproar around the school. So Ann saw Aqua climbing over the fence to be with Shiho. "Shiho, listen to me. This isn't the way to stop the pain. It is just going to cause much more pain for Ann. So take my hand and let's return to the roof." Aqua said, as she was on the ledge and extending her left hand to Shiho. Shiho looked at Aqua's hand and then said looking right at Aqua eyes. "I'm sorry. This is the only way." She then went over the ledge. That caused a lot of students to scream or gasp, but not Aqua. She divided at Shiho, grabbing her left arm, but lost her footing and fell off the ledge too. Luckily, Aqua grabbed it with her right hand. However she couldn't hold on for long. [AQUA!] All of Aqua Pokemon yelled as they ran to the fence. Aqua then said to them, after looking at Shiho. "I'm fine, but Shiho is cold. Brionne, you remember how you saved me and Fletchinder two years ago."

[Yes. Oh I understand.]

[And I'll cover her.] Fletchinder said and Phanpy said to Aqua. [What are you talking about?]

"I'll tell you about it later. Just fine Ryuji. We need Shinx's Flash, so I can return all of you back to your Pokeballs. Now hurry! I can't hold on forever." Aqua said as she was losing her grip on the ledge. As Phanpy ran inside, Fletchinder dived down the courtyard, and Brionne joined him by using Aqua Jet. Inside the school Ren found Ryuji and Ryuji said to Ren. "What's going on?"

"Shiho was going to fall from the roof! Aqua caught her, but now she is holding on for dear life."

"Then we have to go help her." Ryuji said and they were going to the roof, but Phanpy ran right into Ryuji. Knocking him to the ground, Phanpy then grabbed Shinx's Pokeball and let him out. Shinx then said to Phanpy. [What are you doing, Phanpy?]

[We need you Flash. Now come on.] Phanpy said, grabbing Shinx and all of them went to the courtyard. In the courtyard, Fletchinder was keeping the teacher and students away as Brionne made a bunch of big bubbles with different colors. Aqua looked down and saw all of the bubbles. She then said as she pulled Shiho close to her. "Ok, 1. 2. 3!" She then let go causing everyone to scream. As Aqua was held onto Shiho for dear life, they landed on one of the balloons. It didn't break and caused them to spring to another balloon. The students watched as Aqua and Shiho jumped from one balloon to another until they had both reached the courtyard, safely. The student then clapped with amusement, as all of the balloons popped and Ann came running up to them. "Shiho! Please wake up, Shiho? Shiho!?" Ann said as Aqua put Shiho down. Ann then turned to Aqua and said as she grabbed Aqua shirt. "Why did she do this?"

"She said that she wanted to end the pain Kamoshida was causing her and you." Aqua said as Ann let go of her and bent down to Shiho. Phanpy and Shinx then appeared next to them and Shinx used Flash to blinded everyone. That allowed Aqua and Ryuji to return their Pokemon to their Pokeball. So when the paramedics arrived, they didn't see the Pokemon. Once Shiho was loaded in the ambulance, one of the paramedics told the teachers that one of them needed to go with them. They all were in a panic, but not Shita. He, along with Ann, joined the paramedics in taking Shiho to a hospital. As the principal joined the crowd of people, trying to get control over the situation. Aqua joined Ren and Ryuji, and Ren said to her. "What happened to Shiho?"

"I don't know everything." Aqua said before they saw Mishima running away. "But Mishima might." Ryuji said as they all ran after Mishima. Soon they cornered him and Mishima did try to push them away to escape, but it didn't work. Ryuji then said to Mishima. "Why's you run like that? Huh!?"

"I didn't run…"

"Yes you did. Because you know the reason why Shiho jumped and tried to kill herself. Now tell us!?" Aqua yelled at Mishima, who was now scared. Aqua then calmed down and then said to Mishima. "Sorry for losing my temper. Just tell us what you know."

"We are trying not to get you in trouble." Ren said and Ryuji said. "They are right! We ain't trying to get you busted. We won't say you talked either!" Mishima was convinced and told them what had happened. "Suzui… She was called out by Mr. Kamoshida!"

"What did you say?" Aqua said as they were all surprised. Mishima grabbed his head in terror and said. "I was called by him a number of times too… to the teacher's room. It wasn't just me or Suzui either. He'd nominate someone when he was in a bad mood… and hit them."

"So the physical punishment thing was for real…" Ryuji said before Mishima let go of his head and said to them. "But yesterday, he called Suzui out of the blue. She didn't make any mistakes or anything… Mr. Kamoshida seemed really irritated that day." Ren then thought about the talk he and Ann had last night. "So it must've been… worse than usual…" That causes them all to get a very bad idea. Ryuji then left them, trying to find Kamoshida, who was in the PE faculty office. They all ran to the PE faculty office to confront Kamoshida. "You bastard! The hell did you do to that girl!?" Ryuji said as he busted through the door. "What are you talking about?" Kamoshida said not even looking at them. Ryuji then kicked a chair and said to him. "Don't play dumb with me!"

"That is enough!"

"What you did… wasn't coaching…!" Mishima said, causing all of them to look at him. "What did you say?" Kamoshida said with anger in his voice. Mishima then grabbed his head again and said. "You… You ordered me to call Suzui here… I can only imagine what you did to her…!"

"You're going on and on about things you have no proof of… Basically, you're simply making these claims because you can't be a regular of the team, right?"

"That's not what this is about…!"

"Even if it is exactly as you imagine it to be, hypothetically speaking… What can you do? We just received a call from the stupid new teacher. Suzui's in a coma, and her chances of recovery are slim… How would someone like that make a statement? There's no chance of her getting better, I hear… Ohhh, the poor girl."

"No… That can't be…" Mishima said as they were all surprised. "You goddamn…!" Ryuji said and Kamoshida said to him. "This, again…? Does this mean we need to have yet another case of "self-defense"?"

"You shut your mouth, you son of a bitch!" Ryuji said but was stopped by Ren. Ryuji then said to Ren. "Why're you stopping me…!?"

"He's just trying to get us mad, so we would attack him. So don't let him get to you."

"But still!"

"Ren right. He is lower than a Magikarp. So let's leave and get started on Morgana's plan." Aqua said and Ryuji and Ren realized that Aqua was on board with Morgana's plan. "Now let's get out of here." Aqua said as Ryuji took Mishima out of the room. "Hey where are you going!?" Kamoshida said, grabbing Aqua's left shoulder as she and Ren were leaving the room. Aqua then turned around, causing Kamoshida to let go of her shoulder and then she punched him right in the face with her right hand. "My nose! You broke my nose." Kamoshida said as he was rolling on the ground in pain, they left the room. After seeing Mishima out of the school gates, Ryuji said to Aqua. "So you are on board with Morgana's plan?"

"After what he did to Shiho. We can't just wait around and try another way." Aqua said before Morgana said. "Glad to hear it."

"Me too." A female voice said, causing them all to look around and noticed that all of the color around them was replaced by red and the people were just black outlines. "Over here." The female voice said and they all saw the person in red at the bottom of the steps. "You!" Aqua said as she went down the steps. She tried to grab the person, but whenever Aqua tried, she would disappear and then reappear somewhere else. The person in red then said to Ren. "If you are wondering what's going on. You need to stop Aqua and listen."

"Ok, We'll listen." Ren said as he got in between Aqua and the person in red. "Yeah so tell us what is going on?!" Ryuji yelled as he joined them. The person in red then said to them. "To simplify it, I have pulled us into a space between the real world and the castle, so I can tell you that Kamoshida is going to expel you all and Mishima."

"How do you know that?" Ren said as the person in red put her hand together and when she separated them, a screen appeared. On the screen it shows Kamoshida getting up and then they heard him say. "Those filly brats. Once I report all of them at the next board meeting, they will all be expelled." The person in red then destroyed the screen and Ryuji said. "That's not good."

"No, but why does he want to get rid of Mishima?" Ren said before the person in red said. "It is because he told you all about what he did to Shiho. You see, in order to keep his power over the students, he needs to keep they're fear high. So if one of the members of the volleyball team tries to stand up to him. Kamoshida must destroy the kid's future, so the others don't get any idea. And before you ask how he is going to kick Mishima out. He made Mishima leak Ren's criminal records."

"Wasn't Kamoshida the one to leak Ren's criminal records?" Ryuji said and Aqua said to him. "He might have got it, but he had Mishima do his dirty work."

"That is correct. Now I can't have this guy get in the way of my master plan, so if you don't steal his desires before then. I'll have no choice, but to destroy Shadow Kamoshida." The person in red said and Ren said. "What will happened to Kamoshida if you destroy his Shadow?"

"You don't need to know that. But if you are going to take down the king, before the next board meeting. You all will need these." She said as she then tossed Ryuji a yellow crystal with a lightning bolt inside. Morgana got two crystals, one was dark brown with dirt inside and a light green crystal with a spider inside. For Ren, she gave him two crystals as well, one was black and had a wicked smile inside and brown one with a rock inside. For Aqua, she gave her three crystals, a red one with a flame inside, a light blue one with wings inside and another dark brown. Ryuji looked at his crystal and said. "What are these?"

"These are Z-Crystals." Aqua said, looking at all of them. Then she looked at the person in red and said. "Where did you get these?"

"Another thing you don't need to know. But what you do need to know is that I'll get you Z-Crystals that match the Pokemon type you have. Sortly after you get a new Pokemon."

"But why dose Ren have two? He only has Rockruff and he is a Rock-Type, not a Dark-Type."

"Oh right I almost forgot. Here this is for you." The person in red said tossing Ren a Pokeball. Ren caught it and the person in red said. "That Pokemon should help you in the castle. Good luck. Oh, and enjoy the surprise I'll send you later."

"What surprise?" Ryuji said as the person in red disappeared and they were in front of the castle. Ren looked at the Pokeball and said to Aqua. "What do you think is inside this?"

"Let's find out." Morgana said as Ren let out the Pokemon and out came the Zorua, the person in red picked up days ago. Aqua then pulled Rotom out and said. "Rotom, what Pokemon is this?"

"Zorua, The Tricky Fox Pokemon. Zorua is a timid Pokémon. This disposition seems to be what led to the development of Zorua's ability to take on the forms of other creatures."

"What do you mean?" Ren said to Rotom and Zorua transformed to Rockruff. [I not only can create illusions to change my appearance, and thanks to the person in red. I can even create objects.] Zorua said before turning back to normal. Morgana then said to Zorua. "Your power will be useful." He then turned to Ren and said. "You're lucky to have a Pokemon like this Joker."

"Joker?" Ren said to Morgana and Morgana said to them. "It's a code name. What kind of stupid phantom thief would use their real names!? I'm not down for that! And there's no telling what kind of effect yelling our real names will have on the Palace… It's just a precaution."

"So, uh, why's he Joker?" Ryuji said and Morgana said. "Because he's our trump card when it comes to fighting strength."

"I'm ok with it, but I have one question, so would we give the Pokemon code names too?" Ren said before Aqua said. "I don't think that is a good idea."

"Why?" Ryuji said before Aqua said. "Because their Pokemon names are the name of their species. So giving the code names might give them away, plus they are still growing, so we have to change it when they get bigger."

"Ok, Trainer it your call." Morgana said and Aqua said. "Trainer? No thanks, I want to be called something other than what I am."

"Then what do you want to be called?" Morgana said and Aqua thought about it. She then noticed the watch had a map and red dots on it. She then said to them. "How about Keeper?"

"Why Keeper?" Ryuji said and Aqua said. "Because I'll keep an eye on the guards with my watch and keep everyone health."

"Not bad." Ren said before Morgana said. "It's settled then! Next up is you, Ryuji. You'll be… Let's see… "Thug."

"Are you picking a fight with me!? I'll choose it myself!" Ryuji said before he thought about his code name. He then said to them. "When it comes to me, it's gotta be this mask. Honestly, I actually kinda like it. What if we named me after this?"

"Fine… Why not "Skull" then?" Morgana said and Ryuji said. "Ooh! That sounds awesome! I'm Skull! What do we do about this one's code name?"

"How about "Mona?" Ren said and Morgana said. "Well, if Joker thinks it's easier to call me that, then I'll go with it. All right. From here on out, we're Joker, Keeper, Skull, and Mona. We need to be absolutely thorough about using those code names from now on! Also, have only one Pokemon out. Anymore and the guards might see us."

"Ok, then Fletchinder you on." Aqua said letting Fletchinder out and Ryuji let Shinx out. They all then went into the castle. (Time out. Whenever the characters are in a Palaces, then I'll use their code names instead of their real names if they have code names. Time in.) As they reached the vent, Nincada jumped out of the vent and said to them. [Welcome back.]

"Hello Nincada. Is everything ready?" Mona said to Nincada and he said to Mona. [Yes.]

"Good let's go." Mona said as they entered the vent. Once they entered the castle, they heard one of the guards say. "Praise be to King Kamoshida! Death to the intruders!"

"Wh-What the hell!?" Skull said as they all looked out the door and saw Shadow Kamoshida, who now had banded around his chest and nose, talking to a lot of his guards. "Those intruders the other day were quite entertaining. However, I can't allow that trash to ransack my castle! Strengthen the security! Kill them on sight! I'll reward whoever brings me their heads."

"Praise be to King Kamoshida! Death to the intruders!" The guards said, and Skull wanted to attack Shadow Kamoshida, but was stopped by Shinx. They then dragged him away and once they were in a different room, Skull said to them. "What are you doing?"

"Making sure you don't attack Shadow Kamoshida." Keeper said and Skull said to them. "You think I would just attack him right there and then?"

"Yes." All of them said, before a guard appeared and turned into a fairy girl. It then bolts of lighting at Joker, but Zorua jumps in the way and transforms into Phanpy. The lightning bolt did not even hurt Zorua. Keeper then said to Joker. "Now I see why the person in red gave you that Pokemon."

"What do you mean?"

"In this world, Zorua's illusions change his type to the type he's copying, and since Phanpy is a Ground-Type, so electrical attacks won't work on him."

"Cool now lets take her down." Joker said as he pulled out his gun and fired at the fairy. The fairy then said as Skull pointed a shotgun and Mona pointed his slingshot. "Seriously!? YOU guys are the intruders that King Kamoshida was talking about!? It can't get worse than this… What're you going to do with me!?"

"Yeah we are." Joker said and the fairy said to him. "Can't we work something out? Don't kill me, please! Won't you let me go?"

"Ok, now leave this castle and never return." Joker said as he put his gun away. The fiary then said to Joker. "Are you the type who can't say no? I totally know how you feel. I'm the same way. Whoa, I feel different! Something's happening!"

"What the…!? What's going on!?" Mona said as the fairy turned into a mask that looked like Joker's mask. Skull then said to Mona. "Wh-What the hell was that about? The enemy got sucked into Joker's mask!"

"I-I have no idea! I wasn't expecting that either…" Mona said as a guard appeared and turned into a bicorn. And before the bicorn could attack. Joker said, touching his mask. "Pixie, Zio!" That knocked down the bicorn and Zorua said. [Now that this, Scratch!] Zorua then turned back to this normal form and his claw turned white and cut the bicorn down. Skull then said to Mona, still surprised about what just happened to Joker. "H-Hey, Mona! What was that about!? What did Joker do?"

"He sealed the enemy's appearance and powers into his mask, and made it his new Persona…" Mona said before Keeper said "Is such a feat even possible?"

"I don't know. I've never seen anyone pull that off! Only one heart exists per person, so normally a person can only have one Persona!"

"So is it bad?"

"No, it's incredible! That ability will give us a huge advantage in battle!

"I'm glad you like it. Now let's get going." Joker said as they started to move through the castle again. Back in the real world, Ann had returned back to school to get her bag, and as she was leaving the school. She learned that Kamoshida wasn't punished for what he did to Shiho. Hearing that filled her heart with anger. As she left the school, the area had turned red again. Ann then said looking around. "What's going on?"

"Do you want revenge?" The person in red said from behind Ann, and was next to the school's doors. Ann turned around and said as she walked up to her. "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know that. But what I want to know is, are you going to take revenge?"

"Revenge on who?"

"Why Kamoshida of course. You want him to pay for all the things he has done to you and Shiho." The person in red said and she saw anger in Ann's eyes. Ann then said to the person in red. "Yes I want to take revenge, but what can I do? Most of the people in this school keep this quiet."

"So use these and this." The person in red said as she gave Ann another red crystal and a white crystal with a circle inside. She looked at them and then saw a red light shining out of her pocket. Ann opened her pocket and saw that the light was coming from her phone. Ann put the crystals inside her pocket, took out her phone and saw a new app on it. It was the same app that Aqua, Ren and Ryuji use to enter Kamoshida Castle. Ann looked at the person in red and said. "What is this?"

"A key to unlock a world that is linked to Kamoshida. You just need three words to open the door. Do you want to know them?"

"Yes!"

"Good. Here are the words. Kamoshida… Pervert… Castle…" The person in red said and the area turned to the front gate of Kamoshida castle. "What just happened?" Ann said to the person in red, who was just gone. Ann then looked around and was pushed down by the same lion that was with Rockruff and the other Pokemon days ago. Ann was going to scream, but the lion covered her mouth and said. [Be quiet. You are going to attract the guard.] Ann didn't understand what the lion said, but figured out what she meant when guards walked by. The lion then said to Ann. [Look here. I need to get this out of here.] The lion then turned Ann's head and Ann saw a big white egg with dark blue spots. [So here's my plan. You are going to take this egg out of here and I'm going to distract the guards.] She then lets go of Ann, who didn't scream and puts the egg in Ann's bag. [Now run!] The lion said as she ran away, getting the guard's attention. The guards ran after the lion. That gave Ann a chance to grab her bag and run. She almost reached the exit, when she heard the lion roar in pain. She turned around and saw the lion surrounded and getting kicked by all of the guards. The sounds of pain cause Ann to remember all of the pain Shiho and her had to deal with. So she put the bag down and then said to guards as she ran in a different direction. "Hey over here!"

"Princess?" One of the guards said as they ran after her. The lion was going to go after them, but she was hurt. So after a few seconds the lion went after them. In the castle, Joker, Keeper, Skull and Mona had found a safe room and Skull said to them. "Aren't there even more Shadows here than before? Just getting this far has been a real pain in my ass!"

"It might have something to do with what we did to Kamoshida in the real world." Keeper said before Mona said. "It's more than that. Not only did you guys provoke Kamoshida, but he seems to be awfully on guard…"

"I wonder what it could be?" Joker said before Skull said to Mona. "Anyways, how're we supposed to steal the Treasure thing?"

"Don't be so hasty. First, we'll need to secure an infiltration route."

"A what?"

"A path to the Treasure's location. But honestly, I think we'll need a little more Pokemon and Persona power in order to accomplish this. At the very least, one more person and Pokemon would be nice…"

"Hey, you say you don't have your memories and all, but somehow you still know about that kinda stuff?" Skull said to Mona and then turned to Joker and Keeper and said. "Do you two think this thing really got amnesia?"

"I believe in Mona." Joker said before Keeper said. "I find him suspicious."

"That's what you think of me, Keeper!?" Mona said before Skull said to Mona. "You sure talk big, but what if it turns out you're just some stray cat in the end?" Mona was going to say something, but didn't because they all heard some of the guards say. "Still, why was the princess in such an odd place? I could have sworn we were pursuing the readings of an intruder…"

"It doesn't matter now. We must take her back to King Kamoshida!" Another guard said and Skull said to the other. "Who's the princess they're talking about?"

"I should probably look into this!" Mona said as he and Nincada exited the room. Once Mona was gone, Skull said to Joker and Keeper. "And yet another question goes unanswered… Stuff like the castle and that navigation app are mysterious… but Morgana's got them both beat."

"Remember, code names." Joker said and Skull said. "Crap, sorry! What was I again…?"

"You're Skull. He's Joker. I'm Keeper and Morgana is Mona." Keeper said as Mona and Nincada returned. "This is bad!" Mona said to them and Keeper said. "What happened Mona?"

"A human has just got caught by Kamoshida guards." Mona said before Skull said. "Who?"

[Here what she looks like.] Nincada said as he drew a picture of Ann on the floor. "That Takamaki, what's she doing here?" Skull said before Keeper said. "Could she be the surprise the person in red meant?"

"Maybe, but that doesn't matter. We need to find her and get out of here." Joker said as he ran out of the room and so did the others. They all followed the sound of Ann's voice as she yelled from a room. In that room, Ann was bound to a wooden X and two guards pointed swords at her. Ann said, trying to get free. "What's all this about!? Seriously, I'm gonna call the cops!"

"So, this is the intruder." Shadow Kamoshida as he and the fake Ann appeared with a gold guard. Ann turned to him and said. "Kamoshida!? Who's that? More importantly, what is this place!?"

"I can't believe you mistook my Ann for someone like her." Kamoshida said to the guards and then said to Ann. "Are you afraid?"

"What is that outfit? Have you lost your mind?"

"I do as I please here. After all, this is my castle… The world of my desires."

"What the–!? Wait… Is this some red-light district!?"

"What a lively slave."

"This isn't funny! Enough of the bullshit, Kamoshida!"

"The girl's decided to tell me off. What do you think of that?" Shadow Kamoshida said to the fake Ann, who told him. "Talking back is, like… totally unforgivable…"

"In that case… she should be executed… Now then, how should I play with you? Shall I tear you into little pieces?" Shadow Kamoshida as the gold knight got closer to Ann. Ann then said to Shadow Kamoshida. "Are you kidding me?"

"She is in here!" Keeper said as they found the room Ann was in, and before they found her, they found a lot of pink females wearing volleyball outfits. Keeper then said. "And I hate him even more now."

"Is that what he thinks of the girls on the volleyball team!" Skull said before Joker said. "Never mind that. There's Ann!" That all ran to her and Skull yelled. "Takamaki!"

"Just when I was about to start enjoying myself…" Shadow Kamoshida said before Ann said. "What's the deal with this guy!?"

"We'll tell you later. After we deal with this trash." Keeper said before Shadow Kamoshida said. "...How many times are you gonna come back?"

"Until you are stopped." Joker said and Shadow Kamoshida said looking at Ann. "I bet you're just like those thieves. You came because you're pissed at me, huh? But, ah… I forget that chick's name, but it's your fault she jumped, you know. You were so reluctant to throw yourself onto me that I had her take your place."

"You bastard!" Ann said as all of the guards pointed their swords at her neck. Shadow Kamoshida said to Joker and the others. "Take one more step and I'll kill her on the spot." Then three balls of fire hit the guards, causing them to fall back. And then the lion got between them and Ann. "Rotom, who is that?" Keeper said taking her phone out and Rotom said. "Litleo, The Lion Cub Pokemon. This hot-blooded Pokémon is filled with curiosity. When it gets angry or starts fighting, its short mane gets hot." Then the mane on her head got hotter, and Shadow Kamoshida then said as he stomped his right foot. "What with all weird animals!? They are like rats!"

"Why are you saving me? This is my punishment for what happened to Shiho." Ann said before Litleo headbutt her in the stomach. [I heard everything, so why are you blaming yourself for something that guy did? Don't let him try to blame you for his crimes or give in to what he is saying!] Litleo said, and while Ann couldn't understand her, she felt what Litleo was saying. She then said to Litleo. "I don't know what you are saying, but you're right. I'm done letting this piece of shit toy with me… I am going to take him down!"

"My… It's taken far too long." A female voice said inside Ann's head. As the voice counted, Ann started to shake in pain. "Tell me… Who is going to avenge her if you don't? Forgiving him was never the option… Such is the scream of the other you that dwells within… I am thou, thou art I… We can finally forge a contract…"

"I hear you… Carmen. You're right. No more holding back!" Ann said as a red cat mask appeared on her face. As Ann broke out of her restraints, the voice said. "There you go… Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself. Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength." Ann then removed the mask and blue flames surrounded her. When it was over a woman wearing a red traditional Spanish dress, mask, and two guys with hearts for heads in suits tied with thorny vines. Ann was in a red spandex with a lot of zippers, a tail and a bracelet around her right arm. The guards focusing to much on Ann's Persona, that they didn't see Ann kicked one of the swords out of one of their hands, grabbed it and destroyed the fake Ann until it was too late. All of the guard then surrounded the now scared Shadow Kamoshida, as Ann said to her. "You know what? I'm not some cheap girl you can toy with… you scumbag." Ann said as she dropped the sword and the other joined her. Ann then looked right at Shadow Kamoshida and said. "You stole everything from Shiho… You destroyed her… Now it's your turn! I will rob you of everything!"

"How dare you! Enough of your insolence!" The gold guard said as he and the other guard combined into a demon on a toilet. "No, I've had enough of you. No one's gonna stop me now! Let's go, Carmen, Litleo!" Ann said as she cracked a smile. Litleo joined her and the guard said to Ann. "How dare you deny King Kamoshida's love, you selfish lass!? Pay for this insolence with your life!"

"That dirtbag just sees woman as sexual outlets! Don't make me laugh with that "love" bullshit! C'mon, Carmen! Let's give them hell with Agi!" Ann said as Carmen fired fire at the demon. It hurt the demon, so Mona said. "It is weak to fire."

"Then Fletchinder keep it busy, use Flame Charge!" Keeper said as Fletchinder lit on fire and Litleo fired another fireball. The demon saw them and dodged them. "What is your plan?" Joker said and Aqua said as she pulled out the red crystal. "I can use this to destroy him."

"You have one of those too." Ann said as they all dogged the demon from stomping on them. "Do you have this crystal too?" Keeper said as Ann pulled out another red crystal. Joker then said to Keeper. "You got a plan?"

"Yes, but we need time. So give us what you can manage, then get clear."

"Got it!" Skull said as he and Shinx charged at the demon. But they hit away like insects. "What an idiot. Come on, let's buy the lady's some time." Mona said as he and Joker attacked with their blades and, Zorua and Nincada attacked with their claws glowing. As the demon blocked or dodged their attacks, Keeper said to Ann. "Ann, put that crystal in your bracelet. Then say and do everything I do, ok?"

"Ok."

"Ready?"

"Yeah." Ann said as she and Keeper put the crystals on their bracelets. "Our fury ignited!" Keeper and Ann said as they crossed their arms, causing the crystals to glow. "Our wrath ablaze!" Keeper and Ann said as they waved their hands into the air. "We'll burn the lies!" Keeper and Ann said as they extended their right arms and a glow entered them and entered Fletchinder and Litleo and started to form a really big ball of fire together. "And you along with them! Go, Inferno Overdrive!" Keeper and Ann said as Fletchinder and Litleo fired it. "Get out of the way guys!" Keeper said as the guys turned around and saw a big fireball. They got out of the way, but the demon did not get away. The fireball encased the demon and then exploded. The only thing left of the demon were flames that were still burning in the spot the demon was seating in. After seeing what Inferno Overdrive did to his guard, Shadow Kamoshida ran out of the room with great fear. "Wait…!" Ann said as she tried to chase after her, but she fell down, Lucky Litleo caught her and Skull said. "How did you get here!?"

"Hey! Is that how you speak to a woman!? Are you alright Lady Ann?" Mona said and while the others were wondering why he called her Lady Ann, Ann said looking at Mona. "Wait, what is this thing? Is it alive? And… where in the world are we!?"

"We will talk about what's going on, when we are outside." Keeper said before Ann noticed her outfit. She then covered herself and said. "H-Huh? Why am I dressed like this!? When did I– Ugh, what's with this!?"

"Talk outside, remember. I need to check on you and Litleo." Keeper said before Joker said. "You know first aid?"

"Yes I do, now you two help her up and help her out." Keeper said before Litleo said. [Not without her bag?]

"Ok, we'll get the bag too." Keeper said as Joker and Skull

Location; Shujin Academy, Aoyama-Itchome

After they exited the castle, they all were hiding in the alley. And after explaining what was going on, from her Persona, who Morgana and Aqua were, about the Pokemon, and they're plan to deal with Kamoshida, as Aqua was making sure she was to badly hurt. Ann then said to Aqua as Aqua finished with her and was going to check on Litleo. "Thanks for the check up and for the fruit."

"They are not fruit. They are berries, nature's way of healing Pokemon. So how did you meet Litleo?" Ann then told them what had happened a few minutes ago and gave the seed back to Aqua. At the end, Ryuji said Ann. "So what was Litleo putting into your bag?"

"This." Ann said as she pulled out the egg. As they guys were surprised, Aqua said to them. "Is that a Pokemon Egg?"

"Pokemon come from eggs?" Ren said and Aqua said. "Actually ¾ of Pokemon come from eggs, but yes. They do come from eggs."

"So what Pokemon is this?" Ryuji said and Aqua said. "I don't know."

"I thought you knew this Pokemon stuff." Morgana said and Aqua said. "I do. It's just all eggs look the same, with only the spots as a difference. So until it hatches, we won't know what kind of Pokemon it will be."

"I can't wait." Ryuji said as he took the egg from Ann, but dropped it. Lucky Ren caught it and said as he gave it to Aqua. "Maybe it would be better if you hold on to it until it hatches." Aqua then took it and said as she put the egg in her bag. "Good idea."

"So if what you told me is true, we can make Kamoshida have a change of heart, right? Is it really possible? Can we actually force him to confess his crimes?" Ann said and Ryuji said as Aqua got back to Litleo. "The volleyball team's keeping quiet about this, while teachers and parents turn a blind eye. If guys like us try and complain, they're just gonna shoot us down. Going all in on this plan is the only choice we got."

"Then let me help too. I want to make him pay for what happened to Shiho. He just keeps going on like nothing happened, even after what happened, even after what he did to her… I'll never forgive him."

"Wait, did you just say, "let me help"? You mean, you want us to take you along?"

"Don't act like I'm going to drag you down. Weren't you watching Aqua, her bird, Litleo and I fired that giant fireball?"

"By the way Aqua, was that a Z-Move too?" Ryuji said and Aqua said as she was putting seeds into a bag. "Yes, the Fire-Type one."

"How did she pull it off?" Morgana said and Aqua said as she finished up with Litleo. "How about we talk about that tomorrow at my house after school."

"Why?" Ryuji said and Aqua said as Litleo got closer to Ann. "It's getting late and we need to plan out infiltration route better then today. Also I need to help Ann get stuff for Litleo, if they are going to be partners."

"Oh, I want us to be partners. What about you Litleo?" Ann said to Litleo and Litleo said to her. [Of course, who else is going to keep you out of trouble.]

"Was that a yes?" Ann said to Aqua who said. "Yes it was. And you'll need this." She then handed Ann a Pokeball and told her what to do. After Litleo was caught, Aqua said to the guys as she and Ann walked away. "See you tomorrow guys. I'll give Ann you contact information later."

"By Aqua, Ann." Ren said before he noticed Morgana jumping into his bag. Ren turned to him and said "What are you doing?"

"I need a place to stay while I'm in the human world."

"What about Nincada?"

[I'll follow you. Don't worry, I'm very good at being stealthy.] Nincada said before he dug a hole and disappeared. "Good luck Ren, see you tomorrow." Ruyji said as he returned Shinx to his Pokeball and left Ren, Zorua and Morgana. Morgana then said to Re, who returned Zorua to his Pokeball. "Now let's go look at my new residence for this world."

"Okay, just don't be a cat on my back." Ren said as he started to go to the train that would take him home.
