Duking gave an announcement that a special tournament inviting last week tournament winner was to be held to see if those winners are truly worth the prizes it would be a one on four match each winner sending out their prize pokémon and Wes sending out his four prize pokémon won from tournaments outside of Pyrite Town. If Wes won he would gain those four prizes and if the winners won they would each earn one of Wes's powerful pokémon. Yuki was hesitant saying that if Wes lost he would lose all the Shadow Pokémon he had so far but Wes assured her that he had faith in all his pokémon even the Shadow Pokémon without a doubt they will win.

At the coliseum Duking made the introductions while Yuki was standing next to him. "Ladies and Gentlemen today we are going to have a special tournament of champions our best 4 players each risking their prize pokemon in hope they will receive another one let's give a warm welcome to each of them… Number one is the Street Performer Diogo"

The street performer waved to the crowd and twirled earning a cheer.

"Our second and third contestants are our rider couple please welcome Rider Vant and his girlfriend Rider Leba!"

The two riders came out and put their fists to the air earning a cheer

"and our fourth and last contestant but certainly not the least. He's the leader of Duel Square give it up for Skater Boy Ron"

The crowd roared and Ron skated in pulling some stylish tricks on his rollerblades.

"and now… from the far reaches of the northern desert here to take all our challengers down He's the one and only Snag Master of Orre give a hand to Snag Master Wes Leo!

Wes jumped off a ledge of one of the viewing rails his coat flying in the wind like it was a cape and Psychic Energy from Espeon helped guide him as Wes flashed his snag machine and four charged snag balls seem to shoot out of it which in truth only one did the other three were pre-charged. He quickly loaded them into his jacket and landed on the ground with ease. He looked at the four challengers with a serious glare.

Ron approached Wes "Alright Wes you think you're so tough let's see what you got. Diogo you're on"

Diogo nodded slightly "Flaffy let's go"

Flaffy came out of the pokéball but did not make a battle cry."

Wes said "Electric Type… alright… I select Quagsire,

The Quagsire appeared

Wes used the scanner to find out that Quagsire had it had a defensive move Amnesia which increased its special defense and Mud Shot a ground type move for an offensive move which was just what Wes needed against a Flaffy.

Diogo said "Alright Flaffy use Cotton Spore,"

Flaffy sent out a cloud of Cotton spores that covered Quagsire in a white coat.

Wes said "Quagsire use Mud Shot!"

Quagsire cheeks swelled as it gathered mud in its mouth then sent a spray of mud at Flaffy

Diogo said "Dodge and use Shadow Rush."

Flaffy dodged by running to the side and came around for a direct attack

Wes said "hold ground and charge up for Mud Shot again"

Quagsire took the Shadow Rush hit not seeming fazed by the attack and charged up mud again its cheek swelling

Diogo said "Thundershock now…"

Flaffy shocked Quagsire but due to its ground type properties the electricity didn't do a thing.

Wes chuckled "Mud Shot… point blank range"

Quagsire blasted Mud Shot and hit Flaffy sending it flying and covering it in Mud…

Flaffy was covered in mud and out

Diogo sighed "no…"

Wes threw a snag ball and captured the Flaffy after the capture it vanished because the limit of six pokemon was still in play even with snagging and Wes had six pokemon on him

Duking said "and Diogo has lost the battle Wes is now down to three opponents and three pokemon… as we have agreed using one pokemon eliminates it for the rest of the tournament.

Wes said "good work Quagsire return."

Vant came up with Leba "Hey Snagger how about a little two on two."

Wes said "Two on Two fine."

Vant said "Misdreavus go!"

Leba said "Skiploom go!"

Both Shadow Pokemon appeared

Wes said "My choices will be Noctowl and Bayleef"

Both of his pokemon appeared and Wes scanned Noctowl learning that it knew foresight and Aerial Ace

Leba said "Skiploom Shadow Rush on the Bayleef"

Vant said "Misdreavus keep that Noctowl busy with your Psybeam attack!"

Wes said "Noctowl use Aerial Ace on the Skiploom. Bayleef intercept the Psybeam"

Bayleef moved to block the Psybeam which hit her and she made a slight whine while Noctowl flew toward Skiploom fast and both rush style attacks crashed into each other. Skiploom taking more damage then Noctowl.

Wes said "Bayleef Razor Leaf"

Vant said "vanish Misdreavus"

Bayleef shot a barrage of leaves at Misdreavus who vanished to dodge it.

"Noctowl Foresight."

Vant said "Psybeam!"

Misdreavus fired a Psybeam which made Noctowl confused

Leba said "Shadow Rush"

Skiploom came at the guard less Noctowl and slammed into it knocking it out.

Wes grunted and recalled Noctowl

Bayleef looked at both Shadow Pokemon

Leba said "Skiploom Shadow Rush!"

Vant said "Misdreavus Shadow Rush!"

Wes said "Razor Leaf!"

Bayleef fired leaves but both pokemon blasted though the attack and slammed into Bayleef knocking her down.

Bayleef groaned as she tried to push herself up "I can't give up... I must help Wes save them…"

"Give into the darkness…" A voice called into Bayleef mind "I can give you unlimited power…"

"No I can't" Bayleef told herself "You don't belong in me."

"Why do you resist me… I am the ultimate element."

Bayleef said "leave me alone!"

"You are mine!" The darkness surrounded Bayleef spirit.

Back outside Bayleef cried out in pain as the darkness was making her go into what was known as reverse mode.

Yuki said "no Bayleef fight it."

Leba said "what's going on… what wrong with that pokemon"

Wes said "Bayleef doesn't want to give into the darkness and the darkness is trying to destroy her spirit…" He looked at Bayleef "come on Bayleef don't let the darkness win use it's own power to control it! You are stronger then it I believe in you"

In her mind the darkness was laughing "yes I have you now…"

Bayleef said "no you don't!"

Her spirit surged with light as she fought

The darkness said "no… you can't win…"

"Yes I can!" Bayleef shouted

On the outside a shimmer of energy occurred as Bayleef stood up with new strength and a glint of power in her eyes.

Yuki said "Wes… Bayleef's aura it's different somehow."

"EX Shadow Mode has been activated," Came Guide voice from Wes PDA

Wes pulled out the PDA and Guide was on the screen

Guide said "When a Shadow Pokemon Heart controls the darkness completely it will gain power over that darkness allowing it to do the shadow based attacks without pain or heavy cost. The only way to get this mode is if the trainer of the shadow pokemon and the shadow pokemon believe in themselves to conquer the darkness together. Attacks available in this mode vary depending on the pokemon with Bayleef it is Shadow Rush, Shadow Wave, and Shadow Burst"

Wes said "Alright… Bayleef let's do this go."

Bayleef charged at the two pokemon

Vant said "Shadow Rush"

"Shadow Rush" Leba called

Both their pokemon charged at Bayleef with dark auras

Wes said "Shadow Wave!"

Bayleef charged up her aura and orbs of dark energy shot out of her rapidly stopping the two rush attacks and making the pokemon flinch.

Wes said "Now Shadow Burst!"

Bayleef charged up and a powerful burst of dark energy shot out of her and hit the two shadow pokemon causing both to be sent flying and crash to the ground knocked out.

Bayleef said "Yes!"

Wes said "yeah… that what I'm talking about."

The crowd cheered

Bayleef came back to Wes in a run and said "Thank you Wes…"

Wes knelt down her level and petted her and said "you did excellent Bayleef. You showed the darkness your spirit stronger then it. I'll find a way to purify you soon"

Bayleef said "until then I'll just keep fighting like I have been, now that I know I can win just like I did today"

Leba said "Wes must have done something special to be able to have Bayleef take both our pokemon down at the same time Vant."

Vant nodded "yeah… he's something else alright… if he able to unlock that type of power that defeats even our prize pokemon. Hey snagger you defeated them you earned them take them."

Wes threw two more Snag balls and captured both pokemon.

Ron skated over "man Wes that was awesome. Now I'm next…"

Wes said "well I only have one more Ron and it's one you faced before."

Ron said "The makuhita…" He exhaled "well I'm ready to battle him with my Slugma." He summoned the lava like slug pokemon.

Yuki said "I wonder Slugma doesn't really move that fast that much how can it use a rush attack."

Duking said "your guess is as good as mine, Yuki"

Wes said "Makuhita go."

The Makuhita appeared

Ron said "Slugma Flamethrower!"

Wes said "Dodge it Makuhita and use Vital Throw."

The Slugma shot a line of flames at Makuhita

Makuhita dodged the attack and charged at Slugma and grabbed it.

Ron smirked "careful… it's hot."

Makuhita threw Slugma but Slugma left behind hot lava like slime on Makuhita's hands and inflicted a burn condition.

Slugma spattered against the ground when it landed and it recollected itself.

Makuhita didn't seem to react but the burn was noticeable and was inflicting damage.

Ron said "Shadow Rush."

Wes said "Shadow Rush."

The Slugma charged up and a black orb shot out of it and hit Makuhita

Makuhita didn't move and took the hit however the Makuhita's entire body seemed to become tense

Wes said "Makuhita?"

Yuki said "Wes Makuhita's Aura it's turning darker."

Makuhita roared and a purple aura surged around it and Makuhita charged at Slugma like a large purple cannonball

The Slugma took the hit and was sent flying.

"Holy smokes." Wes said

Ron said "Wes snag it quickly!"

Wes grunted and he threw a Snag ball catching the Slugma.

The ball shook but then purple energy shot out and the snag was secured.

The Makuhita growled still tense. It posed to do another attack

"that's enough Makuhita." Wes commanded

Makuhita relaxed the stance and walked over to Wes without a single growl.

Ron said "That was too close but I wonder what triggered that powerful attack."

"That was Hyper Mode players…" Guide said "unlike Bayleef, Makuhita has lost to the darkness and now is under it's influence completely. Under Hyper Mode Makuhita attack power is almost unmatched in normal terms, combine that with the Burn status condition and it's ability guts, it turned Makuhita into a near deadly force that could critically injure pokemon and humans. A major disadvantage to this however is that Makuhita takes heavy recoil damage whenever it hits something. It is recommended that you call it out of Hyper Mode by commanding it. No sweet talk is going to make a hyper pokemon obey."

"Thanks for the info Guide." Wes muttered

"Don't mention it Player."

Wes returned Makuhita

Duking said "well that does it folks it appears the champion of this tournament is Wes the Snag Master!"

The crowd broke out into cheers.

Yuki ran over to Wes and gave him a hug "You did it Wes. You were amazing"

Wes smirked and took the hug "thanks Yuki…"

Duking said "Wes I am pleased to reward you with 4000 pokedollars and a TM."

Wes said "I'll take the TM Duking but keep the money. I got what I came for."

"You sure about that Snag Master." A male voice said "because those four weren't the only prizes given out."

Everyone looked and out of the entrance a green haired guy in a black and orange jumpsuit came onto the field. He had a grin and was lightly snapping his fingers to an unheard tune. He was acting like he was someone important

Ron said "Cail…"
