20 minutes later they were on the road to Pyrite Town. Dash and Rachel said their goodbyes and Dash toward them if they ever needed help call on him and he'll be there in a flash. Rachel said they would call if they saw any pokémon that felt like a Shadow Pokémon.

Wes and Yuki traveled for a bit the sun starting to turn up the heat on the day but Wes was used to it and unfazed. Yuki was okay with it but you can tell she was feeling the heat. She had made sure to pack enough water for the trip and Wes had decided to stop to get a drink himself.

"Hey Wes" Yuki said as she pointed in the distance during their stop "What's that?"

In the distance you could see what appeared to be two huge spheres connected to each other by vertical tubes and being supported by a good network of supports and domes on the ground.

Wes blinked and said "I don't know Yuki…" He smirked slightly "Wanna check it out?"

Yuki nodded "Yeah"

Both boarded the cycle and rode over toward the tower but came to a stop when a construction site was in front of them.

Wes looked around and said "hmm…"

A construction worker walked up and said "Hey boy anything beyond this gate is hard hats only"

Wes said "Fine with me just wondering what's being built."

The worker said "You mean what's built. This is Realgam Tower. This tower is going to be one of the grandest coliseums you have ever seen since Phenac City Coliseum. Imagine it 20 stories above the ground seats up to 10 thousand people. Only the cream of the pokémon trainer crop can battle in this arena and from the looks of it I'd say you be a good first contender.

Wes looked up at the coliseum in thought "hmm… When they opening?" He asked

"not sure…" The construction worker responded while looking up "We got everything mostly built it's up to the internal designers to do the finishing touches." He turned back to Wes and Yuki "From what I heard I think about a month give or take of course the amount of work we did here could have taken up to another three month if extra help wasn't hired. The company who hired all of us must have had money to burn… but I say it's one of the best projects I've worked on yet. We just got to finish cleaning up here and we'll be done.

Yuki said "Well looks nice on the outside but I wonder how the inside going to look"

Wes said "Who knows but we best get going Yuki before it get any hotter."

Yuki said "Yeah well just to let you know it's look like you all did a great job, you and the rest of your team should be proud"

The construction worker tipped his hard hat in respect "Thank you Miss I'll make sure to pass on the word to the others."

Wes nudged Yuki slightly "Come on Yuki I'm starting to roast standing here…"

Yuki sighed "If you didn't wear that heavy Jacket Wes you be ten degrees cooler"

Wes said "Then my skin be turning extra crispy and trust me… I prefer the roasting instead of sunburn."

Yuki said "Right… and that why I bought sunscreen."

Wes was starting to become steamed but he still remained calm "Yuki can we go please?"

Yuki smiled "Fine since you asked nicely. Let's go" She walked over to the bike and got in.

Wes sighed.

The worker chuckled "Trust me boy when you get married you'll get used to it."

Wes sighed "I'm a long way off from that…"

The worker said "Well good luck to you anyhow" and walked off.

Wes walked back to the bike and said "off to Pyrite"

Wes and Yuki made it to Pyrite at high noon but thankfully the sun angle wasn't directly overhead but to the south which the cliffs made a shadow to cover a good area in the shade.

Wes parked his bike and looked around "hmm…"

Yuki looked around "Wes this…" she started as she remembered "this is where I was kidnapped."

Wes said "You sure… well that would explain it… If Miror B been hanging out here he must have been the one who told the Cipher Peons to capture you when he learned about you but why would he take you to Phenac City"

Yuki said "I don't know… maybe to give me to someone who then told them to take me elsewhere?"

Wes said "If so who…"

Yuki said "I don't know… I was outcold during the transfer…"

Wes said "hmm… well let's look around maybe someone here recognizes ya."

Yuki said "Maybe…"

Wes and Yuki walked into the town, Most of the people taking one look at Wes and looking away minding their own business.

Yuki said "For some reason people seem a lot less friendly Wes I wonder what's going on?"

"I'll tell you girlfriend." A female voice said as a girl in a dark red causal outfit with a blackhead band with two stiff ribbon like tails coming from it, approached them "The people see this hunk you're behind and say whoa, who the tough guy? Don't want to mess with him." She smirked and slid up to Wes in a seductive manner rubbing her hand on his face "But I say hey cutie why don't you ditch this wall flower and come hang with me"

Yuki was about to make a scene but Wes just grabbed the girl wrist firmly but without hurting her and said calmly "Sorry I've got no time to hang with the likes of you." As he pulled it down from his face

The girl decided to make a scene and said "Hey let go of me you're hurting me…"

"HEY!" shouted a guy in a rider outfit "let go of my girl."

Wes said "With pleasure" He released the girl wrist "But I wasn't hurting her"

The girl said "Sez you, Nover look at this he bruised my wrist. You know how fragile I am"

There was a small red mark on the girl wrist.

Nover said "Hey punk you got some nerve to hurt my girl Mindy"

Wes sighed at the guy overreaction "Whatever. Come on Yuki."

Yuki huffed "That girl has some nerve to call me a wallflower and she all whiny when she can't get the hint that all boys don't have to come to her door"

Mindy said "What you say?"

Yuki said "You heard me. You think you're the cat's meow I say go chase some other dogs and leave mine alone."

Mindy said "Oh think you tough because you got that tough guy backing you up. Well why don't we settle this the old fashion way a battle Couple Tag Team Double Battle"

Yuki was about to say she doesn't battle but Wes nudged her slightly and stealthfully passed over Espeon and Umbreon "Take them. I'm sure they'll listen." He whispered

Yuki nodded and said "Fine Tag Team Double Battle it is and I choose Espeon and Umbreon Go!"

Both Espeon and Umbreon shot out of the pokeballs

Both said "Ready" and posed battle style

Mindy said "Oh got some tough pokémon as well huh, Alright Let's go Gulpin and Golbat!"

Both her pokémon appeared

Espeon said "Oh boy Poison Types I love to make them squirm."

Yuki said "hmm… Espeon use Confusion on the Gulpin Umbreon shoot down Golbat with Secret Power"

Espeon eyes focused on Gulpin. Gulpin was forced to conform to Espeon thoughts but then was blasted by a psychic burst sending Gulpin flying and KOing it in one shot

Mindy said "What! How did you."

Nover said "Mindy watch out for the Umbreon!"

Umbreon said "Secret Power!" The ground shook a little as rocks shot into the air around him and was thrown toward Golbat with speed.

Yuki was surprised that the attack changed from the energy arrows she was used to but didn't make it obvious

Golbat couldn't dodge and took the boulders sending it crashing down to the ground

Mindy said "What the!"

Yuki taunted "What the matter Espeon and Umbreon too rough for you."

Mindy said "This isn't over Nover get in here!"

Nover said "Let's go Wingull and Noctowl!"

Both pokémon appeared however when Noctowl appeared it had the Shadow Aura

Yuki gasped slightly and whispered "Wes take over we got a Shadow Pokémon"

Wes said in a low voice "Where…"

Yuki pointed with her eyes "The Noctowl."

Wes said "Got it, Tag Team!"

Wes switch with Yuki but still keep Espeon and Umbreon out.

Nover said "Hey why didn't your girl call back the pokémon?"

Wes said "Because I use them as well. You ever heard of the word sharing"

Nover said "So who owns them."

Wes said "Well they been my partners since I started my journey way back so I have to say I own them but they are much more then that…" He grinned "and that's why they are so powerful Espeon Umbreon double quick attack on Wingull

Espeon and Umbreon both leaped and dashed through Wingull sending it spinning one direction then another. It collasped to the ground dazed after it had stop spinning.

Nover recalled his pokémon and said "Those Pokémon are tough! Noctowl use that Shadow Rush attack"

Noctowl growled slightly and flew into the air and shot toward Espeon and Umbreon chasing after them.

Espeon said "incoming Umbreon Shadow Rush at Six O'clock"

Umbreon said "Let's split"

Espeon quickly turned to the left while Umbreon shot to the right

Noctowl soared in the middle unable to decide which one to follow.

Wes said "Now Espeon follow up with Psybeam! Umbreon Secret Power!" He took a snag ball and loaded it quickly so that Nover wouldn't notice

Espeon turned and charged up a Psybeam "Psybeam!" He fired a rainbow colored beam at Noctowl and it took the hit faulting a little on the flight pattern but turning toward Espeon.

Umbreon said "Secret Power!" A onslaught of rocks hit Noctowl from the side sending it crashing to the ground."

Wes said "Now…" An activated snag ball appeared in Wes glove "Snag Ball FIRE!" He threw the Snag ball and it caught the Noctowl.

Nover said "What the devil?"

Mindy said "Did he just?"

The ball shook but the snag was secured and it shot back to Wes who caught it with ease "Shadow Pokémon Capture complete"

Espeon and Umbreon grinned and went back to their spots in front of Yuki and Wes

Mindy started to freak out "You snagged his Pokémon somebody help we got a snagger."

Mindy call alerted all the trainers in the area which happened to be a good 30 trainers and 20 onlookers.
