"Ninjaaaa…" Greninja groaned as he was dazed from a shield break on the Bridge of Eldin stage. Sienna approached the ninja frog as a glowing rainbow aura surrounded her.
"You have fought well… but this is over." She said as she readied herself and got in a stance. "For the White Fang!" She yelled, throwing her Cerberus Whip at Greninja as it wrapped around Greninja as she gave it a tug and brought Greninja close to her, then delivered a flip kick that knocked Greninja up in the air, then she used her whip to grab onto Greninja's leg as she swung it down and slammed Greninja into the ground where he bounced up into the air, and then she swung her whip as two blades detached themselves and struck Greninja, being Fire and Electrical as it made a fiery electrical explosion that sent Greninja flying into the sky.
"Greniiiiiin!" Greninja cried before disappearing with a starry flash in the sky.
"Game! Sienna… wins!"
Sienna wrapped her chain around her wrist and had a proud smirk on her face. "That was a noble battle." She said as she then walked out and met Greninja on the other side. "Hey, good fight."
"Grenin Nin." Greninja agreed, both of them shaking on it as they went their separate ways, but Sienna froze mid-walk, sensing something wrong.
"Mmm…" Sienna clenched her fist and looked out of a window. "Why do I feel as if something horrible just happened…"
With Esdeath…
"Ah, general! What can I get for ya today?" A chef asked.
"I'll have a meatball sub… oh, and fill it with Parmesan while you're at it."
"Coming right up!" He said as he went to make it as Esdeath had to strain herself from drooling over the thought of her meal that was being prepared. However, a bad feeling hit her hard in the back as she turned around. "What is this feeling… why do I feel like something horrible just happened?"
"Here you are, general! …General?"
"Hmm? Oh… thank you. Mind if I take that to go? Something just came to my attention."
"Oh, certainly." The chef nodded, putting the meatball sub in a bag as she grabbed her drink as she walked out. "Hmm, wonder why she was in such a hurry? Never seen her look so perplexed like that…"
Esdeath looked both ways the moment she walked out. "Why do I have this thought that Seryu did something…"
At Freezington…
"Easy now… easy…!" Klein said as he and Ghira gently put Weiss on the bed. "There we go…"
"My word… what happened?!" Willow exclaimed.
"It… it was…" Blake tried to say as tears started falling again, closing her eyes.
Kali gently put her hand on Blake's back. "Who was it, dear?"
"It-"
There was a knock on the door as Peony walked over to the door and opened it to see Neo, along with the others behind her. "Can I help you?" Peony asked.
"Is Weiss and Blake okay?" Ruby asked.
"How do you know Weiss and Blake?" Peony folded his arms. "Somethin' just happened to Weiss and now you're demanding where they are? You want to harm them too?"
"Whoa, we're not trying to harm them!" Yang defended. "We just want to-"
"Hey Peony!" Gloria walked over to them. "They're okay. Ruby and Yang are Weiss and Blake's teammates." She said and looked out to see JNPR, Summer, Tai, Rosalina, Neo and her squad. "Oh, and they're fine too."
"Teammates? Ahahaha! Well, why didn't ya say something?" Peony asked.
Ruby sweatdropped. "You didn't even give us the chance to…" She said as they walked in where they saw Weiss on the bed. "Oh my goodness! Weiss!"
"Oh, hey guys." Neptune greeted. "You guys came at a bad time…"
"What happened? Why are there claw marks on Weiss's chest?!" Yang demanded to know as she looked at Blake. "Blake, what's going on?" She asked as Blake tried to explain, but her emotions got the best of her as she fell on her knees and started sobbing again.
BGM: Sad Girl (Super Mario Galaxy)
"…Blake?" She asked with worry in her voice as the Absol gently sat down next to Blake while Ghira and Kali knelt down and put comforting hands on Blake's back. Even Chamomile hopped out of Kali's Pokeball and nuzzled against Blake to comfort her.
"Allow me to explain." Calyrex approached them.
"Whoa! Who are you?" Nora asked.
"I am Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests. I have had my power restored thanks to this young girl, and she has allowed me to be her companion. I assume you are her friends."
"Yeah, we're her teammates." Ruby said. "These two are my mom and dad."
"Hello." Summer greeted.
"Hey." Tai greeted.
"This is Rosalina, a friend of ours."
"Greetings."
"And this is JNPR, also friends of Weiss."
"And what about the girl with the multi colored hair?"
"That's Neo. She's more of a… friendly enemy, I think?" Ruby rubbed her head. "Friendly rival…? I mean, she's friends with Luigi and Marnie and- oh never mind that! What happened?"
"Ah yes… my apologies. After I had my power restored, Weiss and Blake went to take a walk around the Crown Tundra… and then they were viciously attacked by two faunus. Adam Taurus… and Seryu Ubiquitous."
Whitley let out a gasp. "Seryu?! The same girl that attacked me and Ling?!" He said as Ling put her hands over her mouth in horror.
Winter now let a gasp. "Seryu… she's the one who attacked you?!" A chill ran up her spine. "The same girl who caused that massacre in Atlas…"
Willow clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in anger. "The same girl that nearly killed both of my children…" She said, nearly trembling in anger.
"Adam was with her?!" Ghira said in horror.
"Oh no…" Kali whispered.
"They fought against the two, and according to Blake, Adam has a new weapon after his sword was destroyed. He demonstrated its power on Weiss when the two decided to switch opponents… it was then that when her aura was depleted, Seryu tricked Blake into dodging her attacks until she lined up perfectly in front of Weiss, then she shot her where she had anticipated Blake would use her semblance to dodge it. She did… and the bullet struck her in the gut, and then another in her abdomen… and that's when Adam set up the killing blow with his new weapon. Blake also informed me that she spotted venom dripping out of his claw, so I am willing to guess that the weapon is laced with poison. Blake then shielded Weiss from any more harm right as Seryu was about to kill her. Then… they were both saved by this Absol." He said, motioning over to the Absol.
"Sol…" Absol gently said, trying to comfort Blake.
"It was then that Weiss's faithful dragon came to their rescue and ripped off both of their arms. However, Azure only ripped Seryu's entire arm off, while Adam's forearm was torn off. They fled shortly after that… and that is where I came in and saw Weiss in that state, cradled in Blake's arms. Had I came a moment longer, Weiss would no longer be with us." He grimly said and then turned to the Absol again. "The Absol had warned Blake of the upcoming danger, but she didn't understand it. In her defense, she claims she has never seen an Absol before. They are misunderstood creatures… they come right before a disaster is about to occur, usually natural disasters… but sometimes it's not a natural disaster at all. This incident is one such example. They have been classified as the Disaster Pokemon and have been hated as a result… but in reality, they are gentle creatures who only warn others about upcoming danger."
"Brutal…" Pyrrha whispered.
"…Didn't one of us mention that Weiss wasn't getting herself killed or anything?" Ren asked, his eyes shifting to Nora.
"Um…!" Nora stiffened, sweating nervously. "I… I think it was… Im… pa… yeah, Impa…"
"Oh, honey…" Kali whispered.
"Adam… he said that this was all my fault…" Blake said through her tears. "He said that I should have killed him after the treaty was formed… and how I was responsible for forming the Crimson Fang and… nearly having Weiss killed…"
"Now Blake, you know that's not true!" Sun said. "That Adam guy was just saying that to get under your skin! That's how I'm seeing it."
"Yeah, and hey, look on the bright side." Yang added. "Thanks to Azure, both Adam and Seryu have been dis-…" She paused, closing her eyes. "No… not here… now's not the time."
"Is there anything we can do?" Ruby asked. "I mean, this is our teammate we're talking about!"
"All she needs now is some rest." Klein responded. "And to get some bullets out of her body. The last thing she needs is people crowding her right now."
Winter walked over to Weiss and knelt down next to her, holding her hand. "You've been through so much the last few weeks…" She said gently. "Despite you being a wheelchair, that never stopped you from being in high spirits, despite yearning to walk again. Now that you had… this happened to you." She gently clenched her fists, gentle enough as to not crush Weiss's hand. "I swear to you… I'll make them pay for what they did to you."
Willow approached her daughters as she knelt down and gave a gentle kiss on Weiss's forehead. "You've been through so much… but you're a trooper. I know you'll get through this." Willow smiled. "You're my daughter, after all… we Schnees always get through the thick of it." She said.
"I'll keep an eye on her." Klein spoke up.
"I'll stay too…" Blake sniffed, wiping her eyes.
"We'll be right with you." Ghira said with Kali nodded.
"Mrow!" The Skitty smiled.
"We'll stick by too." Neptune said with Sun nodding.
"And I will be here as well." Calyrex said.
"Come on, let's give Weiss some space." Tai said as one by one, they walked out with the Schnee family being the last one out the door.

BGM: Freezington (Pokemon Sword and Shield)
"Dang… this Adven-Tour really took a sour turn, didn't it?" Peony rubbed the back of his head.
"I'll say." Anthony quietly said.
"Adven-Tour…?" Ruby tilted her head.
"Basically his idea of adventuring in the Crown Tundra with his rebellious daughter." Gloria explained. "So far, we did the first one, which was getting Calyrex back at full strength… now we have two more to do." She said, handing over the notes.
"These notes… what's with this? It's hardly readable!" Yang said.
"Oooh, that tree looks pretty cool." Jaune said.
"We originally came to the Crown Tundra on request from Arceus and Regigigas." Winter explained. "Arceus requested that we find the King of Bountiful Harvests since he had disappeared for quite a long time. The other big guy requested that we find his other two Golems that he created. Regi… eleki and Regidragon, I think…"
"Yeah, and then we got caught up in this lad's Adven-Tour." Gloria explained.
"You have to admit, it's kinda fun!" Peony grinned.
"Well, I guess we could do the second thing… even though the notes are kinda hard to read." Summer said.
"Yeah." Ruby nodded.
"Alright… I'm calling this quest: The Terrible Titans Lurking Locked Away!" Peony declared.
Neo raised an eyebrow and looked at Gloria. "Is he normally like this?" She asked via sign language.
"Yeah, you get used to it." Gloria responded.
"One other thing! I think we need to address the Copperajah out here." Peony said.
"And that is?" Tai asked as Peony pointed to Rosalina.
"You there, in the black T-shirt!"
"Yes?"
"How are you not freezing to death?! You're just in a simple T-Shirt with jeans and shoes! How are you not frozen?!"
"Oh, well, this cold temperature is nothing compared to the cold vacuum of space." Rosalina explained. "I'm perfectly fine as is."
"Wait, you saying you went to space? As in… space space?"
"The very same. I'm a cosmic space traveler."
"So you're saying you can breathe in space."
"That's correct."
"…HOW? There's nothing completely breathable out there!" Peony said.
"It's best not to question it lad." Gloria chuckled as the others let out a few chuckles as well, but then Yang turned her head and saw something looking at her.
"Hmm?" She wondered as she curiously walked over toward it. "Oh hey there, little guy… who are you?"
"Pew! Pew!"
"Fwoofy, there you are!" An old woman approached the Pokemon and looked up at Yang. "Oh! My apologies, young miss. Hope my little Cosmog didn't bother you."
"Oh no, not at all." Yang waved it off. "I think it was just a bit curious about me."
The old woman chuckled. "This little one is always curious." She said. "Come along, Fwoofy." She smiled, but noticed it was curiously bouncing around Yang's feet before bouncing up in Yang's arms.
"Pew Pew!"
"My my, you're a lively little thing, aren't you?" Yang giggled.
"Hmm…" The old woman closed her eyes. "You like her, don't you little one?"
The Cosmog turned around. "Pew!"
The old woman chuckled. "I think you two will make quite the pair."
"Huh?" Yang said in surprise. "I don't want to take your Pokemon…"
"Officially, it's not mine. It wandered into this village and happily played around to its hearts content. It usually sticks around in my home, but it seems it has taken a shining to you. A little girl once named it Fwoofy and it stuck ever since… but perhaps you can name it something else. It is up to you."
Yang looked at the Cosmog as it bounced on her arm and went up to her shoulder, nuzzling against Yang's neck. "Fwoofy, huh… no, I don't know why, but you look like an Apollo to me."
"Pew!" The Cosmog cried, seeming to love the name. Yang let out a chuckle and gently scratched its head.
"Now that I look at you, you're just about the cutest little thing I've seen." Yang said and then turned to the old woman, who had disappeared. "Huh? Huh, where'd she go?"
"Yang!" Ruby called out to her. "What's keeping ya?"
"Oh, sorry… my bad." Yang approached them with Apollo on her shoulder.
"Oh! That's a cute little thing! What is it?" Summer asked.
"It's a Cosmog." Yang said and explained how she got the little guy while the Cosmog curiously looked at them all.
"Well, it definitely took a shining to you!" Tai chuckled. "Looks cute with ya."
"It does." Rosalina agreed with Summer nodding as well.
"So, we're going to find those titans?" Yang asked.
"Yes." Winter nodded. "It does seem like our best bet."
"Well, alrighty then!" Yang grinned.
"Mmm…" Whitley folded his arms.
"What's wrong?" Ling asked.
"Well… the thing is… mmm, how do I put this?"
"You're constantly in the shadow between me and Weiss?" Winter guessed as Whitley looked at her in surprise before nodding.
"Yes. You two are in leagues of your own. Weiss is part of team RWBY, not to mention she has several weapons on her and Pokemon… plus she's grown into quite the fighter. I've also heard that she slayed a dragon in space. You, Winter, are in the Atlesian military and are currently under the command of General Esdeath, plus you are now part of the Winter-Ops. You're exceptional in your abilities plus you can summon anything at your disposal. Meanwhile, I just have… Sleet and a good friend." Whitley said, referring to Ling. "I don't even have a weapon, I don't have a semblance… how can I compete with the both of you? How can I make a name for myself when I don't have any combat prowess?"
"Whitley…" Ling quietly said, looking at him somberly.
Winter folded her arms. "I… I don't know how to answer that…"
"I think I do." Willow spoke up as they looked at her as she put her a comforting hand on Whitley's shoulder. "Now this is just a suggestion, but I think maybe you ought to catch some Pokemon and work your way up from there. Because I have a sneaking suspicion that these Pokemon that we're going to face will only make Sleet's life miserable. I mean, you don't have to do it, but who knows, you might learn a thing or two." She said, winking at him.
"Catch some Pokemon… work my way up from there…" Whitley repeated to himself. "It's a start, but I'm willing to take that chance." He said.
"We'll help you out in anyway we can!" Ruby said.
"Yeah!" Yang nodded.
Gloria dug in her bag. "What do you want to start out with, lad? Poke Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Quick Balls, Timer Balls, Dusk Balls, Net Balls… I got 'em all! Pick your poison!"
"Hmm, I'll start with the Poke Balls first." Whitley said as Gloria handed some over.
"You need some more, just ask!" Gloria grinned.
End BGM
Whitley closed his eyes, letting out a chuckle and looked down at his Sandshrew that was looking up at him. "Well, Sleet… what say we do a little bit of catching?"
"Shrew!"
Whitley gripped a Pokeball tightly. "Alright, now let's go catch some Pokemon!"
BGM: Gotta Catch 'Em All (Pokemon)
Whitley ran off as everyone took off after him as he first ran into an Audino that he nearly ran over at Frostpoint Field. Yeah, that will work. Whitley thought and looked at Sleet with a nod as both of them got ready to fight the Audino as the Audino stared at the Sandshrew with Baby Doll Eyes right as it was about to use Rollout on it. The Sandshrew had to look away as he rolled right into Audino to knock it back. The Audino responded by using a Zen Headbutt on him, but Sleet dodged it and used Metal Claw. The Audino fell on one knee while wincing as Whitley threw a Poke Ball at it and with three shakes and a click, the Audino was his.
"Got ya." Whitley smirked, picking up the Audino as they continued on their path, but Jaune and Pyrrha would spot a male and female Nidoran wandering around. The two of them looked at each other and with a nod, they called out both their Escavalier and Scizor as the Nidoran looked at them before engaging them in battle where they both unleashed Poison Sting, but the two of them would dodge the attacks as Lancelot unleashed Iron Head on the Male Nidoran while Spartacus used Bullet Punch on the female Nidoran, severely weakening the both of them as they threw Ultra Balls at the two Nidoran, catching the two in three shakes. The two of them high fived as they put the Ultra Balls away and ran off to catch up with the others.
A Drilbur popped up on the ground, catching the attention of Whitley. "What's that?" Whitley wondered with intrigue.
"That's a Drilbur." Gloria said and then looked into her Rotom Phone. "Huh, it says here that it's not usually seen in the Crown Tundra, so I guess the lad got himself lost."
"Looks pretty cute…" Whitley said and then ordered Sleet to hit the Drilbur with a Powder Snow attack that struck the Drilbur as it responded by using a Drill Run attack, but with a command from Whitley to dodge it, Sleet then hit Drilbur with another Powder Snow attack to knock it down, then Whitley threw a Great Ball at it where it clicked after three shakes, then they went up to Snowslide Slope where they would encounter a Galarian Darmanitan wandering around.
"Whoa, look at the size of that big guy!" Peony said.
Gloria gave a Quick Ball to Whitley. "Lot more efficient if you don't drag out a battle." She said as Whitley nodded and then threw it at the Darmanitan, and caught it pretty easily as it rolled down the slope and stopped at Whitley's feet where he picked it up.
Neo whistled to get their attention as she motioned them over to follow her as they made their way to the Giant's Foot where they would see a river, but on their way there, a curious Swablu flew over to them where Whitley would easily catch it, with some help from Nora and her Alolan Raichu since it was dodging Sleet's attacks. As they got to the river, they would see a Lapras swimming around that immediately caught the eye of Willow as her eyes sparkled. Gloria hit her up with a Quick Ball as she threw it at the Lapras, where she caught it instantly. She would immediately call out the Lapras as it ferried them out to the Frigid Sea where Rosalina would help the others fly next to the Lapras since not all of them could fit on the Lapras.
A Shiny Spheal rolled around happily where Whitley would take notice of as he hopped off the Lapras and with the help of Ruby and Fleur, Whitley threw an Ultra Ball at the Spheal to catch it after three shakes. "Okay, so I have five now… not sure what I want to do with the last one, but this is a good start!" He said as Ling had ran over and hugged him from behind, as did Winter and Willow.
End BGM
"Alright, I think I'm ready to go take on these titans." Whitley said and then turned to Neo. "Thanks for taking us out here." He said as Neo nodded back at him as they hopped back on the Lapras and rode back, but Neo would spot a pathway that she hadn't noticed as she hopped off and decided to take a look with her squad. MAJC decided to stick around at the Frigid Sea for a little while longer.
"This place is beautiful. Cold, but beautiful." Camrin said, watching a few Avalugg move slowly in the water as a few Sealeo swam by.
"You said it." Mona said, now wearing a coat around her as she was holding Camrin's hand.
"Well, let's go. Those Golems aren't gonna catch themselves." Anthony said as they started to walk back where another Lapras would offer them a ride. A Spheal would curiously look at MAJC swimming away as it decided to roll after them.
Later, at the Rock Peak Ruins near the Giant's Bed…
"Well, here it is…" Winter said as they approached the ruins as they brought out the clues. Let the mon h chang one. "What does that even mean?"
"I did do a few scrabbles on this, so uh… my bad!" Peony chuckled a bit, causing Winter to let out an annoyed sigh as Summer approached the door to take a look at some engravings on Unown on the door.
"See anything?" Tai asked.
"Well, there's writing on here… but I can't make it out." Summer rubbed the back of her head. "I don't even know if its legible!"
"Let me take a look." Gloria said as she walked up. "Ah! It's a bunch of Unown mixed together to create a message."
"Okay…? That makes sense… I think."
"Let the first Pokémon hold a never-changing stone." Gloria read aloud as the others approached them.
"Never changing stone?" Zoey raised an eyebrow.
"That could be anything…" Jaune said.
"Never changing stone…" Gloria closed her eyes. "Never changing… never changing… never… never… Ever…" Her eyes opened, an idea hitting her on the head. "Aha!" She reached into her bag, searching for the item in question, then pulled out an Everstone. "There you are!"
"What's that?" Pyrrha asked.
"An Everstone. You give it to a Pokemon so they won't evolve."
"Why would you do that?" Ren asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, people mostly use it to keep training their Pokemon without having to worry about evolution… or be an arse and give it to a Pokemon that's evolution is by trading, if you wanna be a dick about it." She explained, calling out her Cinderace and handed him the Everstone.
"Race?" Cinderace wondered.
"It's for the door. Don't worry lad." Gloria chuckled as the door opened once Cinderace held the stone, though everyone had to hold on to something as the ground rumbled underneath them as it was opening. "Thanks lad!" Gloria smiled, taking the Everstone. "Won't be needing this anymore." She said, throwing it toward a rock wall as they went inside the temple as they saw the statue in front of them along with peculiar spots on the ground.
"What's this…?" Ling wondered as she touched one of them as it lit up. "Oh! It lights up!"
"And I've a feeling… the rest do too!" Gloria said as they lit up the spots when the ground rumbled as something started to emerge from the ground in front of them as a Pokemon drilled through the ground and shot up into the air.
"R-R-Regirock!" The Pokemon cried and slammed into the ground. The dots on its face analyzed the group before aiming its arms at them.
BGM: Vs The Three Regis (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire)
Rock Titan - Regirock
"Ooooh, I wanna throw down with that guy!" Mona's eyes sparkled.
Whitley looked a bit intimidated, slowly backing up. "I don't know what Pokemon I have that will work against this guy…"
"We'll help you out, Whitley!" Ruby said, calling out Fleur.
"Ivy!"
"Let's go, Royce!" Yang called out.
"Grapploooct!"
"Oh, I see you evolved your Clobbopus!" Gloria smirked, calling out her Kingler.
"Yeah, he just evolved one day… I think it was when he taunted Phoenix." Yang shrugged as the girls turned to Whitley as he slapped his cheeks together and called out Sleet.
"We'll take it from here!" Ruby told the others as they looked at the Rock Titan before them.
"Re-Regirock!" Regirock aimed its arms at them and unleashed Zap Cannon on them, forcing them to dodge.
"Brick Break!" Yang ordered.
"Crabhammer!"
"Charge up a Solar Beam!"
"Iron Defense and then Gyro Ball!"
Royce lunged at Regirock and unleashed a Brick Break, but Regirock would grab a hold of the Grapploct as Kingler would come swinging with a Crabhammer to make Regirock drop the Grapploct as it unleashed Brick Break and then Sleet went rolling in and struck it with a Gyro Ball. Regirock would retaliate with Stone Edge, striking all three of them were Kingler and Grapploct took it pretty well but Sandshrew wasn't as lucky.
"Rrrgh… come on, Sleet… hang in there!" Whitley said as he noticed the Regirock aiming directly at Sleet as it was about to unleash Hammer Arm on him.
"Detect!" Yang yelled as Grapploct went running in and protected Sleet from the onslaught. "I got your back!"
"Thanks." Whitley smiled at her "Iron Head!" He ordered as Sleet ran in and headbutted the Regirock with an Iron Head.
"Alright, we're finally done charging! Go!" Ruby yelled.
"IVYSAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUR!" Fleur unleashed Solar Beam on the Regirock as it struck it head on as it had fallen on one knee where Gloria would pull out an Ultra Ball and threw it at the Regirock where it shook two times… before coming back out, so Gloria responded by throwing a Timer Ball instead where it took three shakes… and it broke free again, but Gloria would throw another Timer Ball where it clicked after three shakes.
End BGM
"Bzzzzt… data analysis for Regirock complete." Gloria's Rotom Phone buzzed as Gloria would look into the data.
"Regirock, the Rock Peak Pokemon: Every bit of Regirock's body is made of stone. As parts of its body erode, this Pokémon sticks rocks to itself to repair what's been lost. Cutting-edge technology was used to study the internals of this Pokémon's rock body, but nothing was found—not even a brain or a heart."
"…So wait, how is this thing alive?" Tai wondered.
Summer shrugged. "Pokemon are mysterious, I'll give 'em that much." She said.
"Way to go, Fleur!" Ruby praised.
"Ivy!" Fleur smiled and ran over to Ruby and jumped into her arms, but mid-jump… Fleur started glowing.
"Oh! Sweet! You're finally evolving!" Ruby grinned as Fleur evolved into Venusaur. "Awesome, you evolved into-" Her eyes widened. "WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'RE TOO BIG FOR-"
THUD!
"OOOOF!" Ruby was crushed underneath the Venusaur's weight.
"Saur! Saur!" The Venusaur nuzzled against her cheek.
"Mmph… little help…!" Ruby groaned as Gloria picked up the Timer Ball and released the Regirock as everyone looked at her in confusion.
"What? I wasn't really gonna catch it. Just wanted to see the lad's data!" Gloria said and turned to Regirock. "No hard feelin's?" Regirock responded with a simple shrug. "Thought so. Hey, you want to help us locate your friends?" She asked as Regirock responded with a nod. "Great! Now let's go find the others!"
At the Iceberg Ruins near Snowslide Slope…
"Wa… togeth… iving stal of sno…" Ruby read aloud. "What the heck is a living stal?"
"That could be anything." Ren said.
"Stal of snow…" Willow mused, taking a look at it. "Could it mean crystal?"
Peony folded his arms, seeming to be deep in thought. "Walk together… with a crystal of snow!"
Winter's eyes widened. "Mother! Your Cryogonal!"
"Oh!" Willow called out the Cryoganal with a Great Ball.
"Cryoga!" The Cryogonal cried as they walked over to the temple and with the ground shaking, the door opened as they all walked in and touched the dots on the ground… and then suddenly the room started to get colder as ice started to form around the walls.
"Get ready!" Gloria said as suddenly a blizzard surrounded the group and pelted them, but they held strong as they saw glowing dots in the fog.
"Is that it?" Pyrrha asked as the fog dissipated, revealing Regice.
"Regi-Re-Re-Regice… Regiiiiiiiice!" Regice cried in a robotic tone.
BGM: Battle! Regirock/Regice/Registeel (Pokemon Black 2/White 2)
Titanic Iceberg - Regice
"Alright, Spheal, let's go!" Whitley called out as he was also joined by Yang, Pyrrha and Ruby.
"Phoenix, you're up!"
"Fleeeetch!"
"Leoniadas, let's do this!"
"Fay Fay!"
"Grim, let's do it, buddy!"
"Doooom!"
"Rollout!" Whitley ordered as the Spheal rolled straight for the Regice, but it skated on the ice to avoid the Rollout as it skated toward the Spheal and used Superpower, but it was disrupted by Leonidas where the segments would use Close Combat.
"Regiiiiice!" Regice cried, using Ice Beam on the Falinks, but they jumped away as Grim unleashed a Flamethrower.
"Alright, Phoenix, use Steel Wing!"
"Fleeeetch!" The Fletchinder flew toward the Regice as it used Ice Beam on him but it barrel rolled out of the way and struck the Regice with the Steel Wing as it flew up high into the air to go for another attack… and then the Fletchinder started to glow.
Yang let out a gasp. "No way…" She whispered as Phoenix had fully evolved.
"TALOOOOON!" Phoenix cried as he divebombed the Regice as it was distracted by Spheal's Rollout, Leoniadas unleashing Bulk Up before doing Close Combat again and then Grim unleashing Flamethrower again as the Talonflame unleashed Brave Bird on the Regice and slammed into it head on, knocking the Regice on its back.
"Gloria!" Yang cued.
"Right!" Gloria would throw a Timer Ball at the Regice, and after a few shakes… it popped out, so she threw a couple more Timer Balls at it until it was eventually caught.
End BGM
"Got it!" Gloria said as she walked over and picked it up while Yang happily hugged her Talonflame as Apollo let out a happy cry, then Gloria's Rotom Phone updated as she took a look at the entry.
"Regice, the Iceberg Pokemon: This Pokémon's body is made of solid ice. It's said that Regice was born beneath thick ice in the ice age. With cold air that can reach temperatures as low as −328 degrees Fahrenheit, Regice instantly freezes any creature that approaches it."
"…Wait, repeat that!" Nora said, grabbing Gloria's Rotom Phone. "NEGATIVE WHAT?!" She yelled as everyone had a chill run up their spines, even Rosalina shuddered a bit as Gloria released the Pokemon. "NO! DON'T RELEASE IT!" Nora yelled, quickly hiding behind Ren, aiming her hammer at the Regice. "Don't you dare freeze me or I'll break those spikes you call legs!"
"Chill out…" Yang sweatdropped.
"NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR PUNS, YANG! WE GOT THE EMBODIMENT OF ABSOLUTE ZERO IN FRONT OF US!"
"…Can you stop yelling in my ear?" Ren winced.
"Mind helping us out, lad?" Gloria asked as Regice let out a nod. "Alright!"
"…I'm not letting that thing come near me…" Nora grumbled as they walked away.
At the Iron Ruins in the Giant's Bed…
"Hmm… "Let ring out the piercing note that will wake the giant of steel…" Gloria read. "…Piercing note? What could that mean?"
"Does it mean like… a song?" Summer wondered.
"If that's the case… then allow me to help out." Winter said and pulled out her scroll. "Recently, they did karaoke night at the Smash Mansion and Weiss went to attend it. Luckily, I recorded it… and I think I know what the piercing note is." She said, messing around with her scroll. "Ah, here we are."

However, the door would not open. "Uh… it's not opening…" Ruby said.
"Wait for it." Winter said proudly, but nothing happened. "…Any moment now…"
"…Lass, I hate to say it, but I don't think it's working." Gloria said.
"Mmmph… it was worth a try…" Winter muttered, putting it away.

"I got it! Maybe that duet that Weiss did with Azura!" Nora said, pulling out her scroll and went into her videos. "Let's see… ah, here it is!"
BGM: Lost in Thoughts All Alone (Fire Emblem Fates)
But as the two started singing… the door didn't open. "Nothing?" Jaune asked in surprise.
"Are you kidding?!" Nora said and then put it away.
End BGM
"Mmm, everyone's a critic…"
"What if it's not a song, but like a squeal…" Anthony guessed and then whispered in Mona's ear.
"EEEEEEEEEE!" Mona squealed. "SHINIES ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR?!"
"…Not even a rumble." Camrin said as Mona started to run, only to slam into the door and fell on her back.
"Ooooow…" Mona groaned.
"Not even that high pitched fangirl scream?" Whitley raised an eyebrow.
"Uh… what about Ruby?" Ling guessed.
"I can try…" Ruby said and then let out a fangirl scream, but no rumble either. "Oh come on!"
"Allow me." Rosalina said, calling upon a Luma as a yellow Luma came flying over as it let out some chirps, but nothing happened either. "Why, I never! How couldn't it open up at the sweet melodious sound of the Lumas!" Rosalina huffed a bit, folding her arms in annoyance.
"Aww…" The Luma pouted.
"Regice! Regice!" Regice cried, but nothing happened. "Regi…"
"Bzzzt! Open Sesame! By the power of Arceus, I command you to open!" Rotom demanded before pouting and moved back to Ruby as Gloria pulled out bagpipes and started playing it, but not even that could open the doors.
"Fockin' hell! How do you even…?!" Gloria groaned.
"I COMMAND YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR!" Peony yelled, pointing at it. "…Agh, not even my charming personality can get it open…"
About five minutes of failed attempts later…
"Goodness, this is complicated…" Summer sighed as they all sat around the edge, trying to think of something as Tai started to whistle a tune… and then right on cue, the ground started to vibrate.
"What the?!" Yang said as the door opened up.
"Well, took it long enough!" Nora complained as they walked inside and lit up the dots where Registeel landed on the ground.
"Re-Re-Re-Re-Registeel!" Registeel cried.
"…Wait a minute…" Summer started to connect the dots in her head. "Piercing note… a metal Pokemon…" She facepalmed. "Agh, of course! A piercing note akin to ringing metal! It was your dad's whistling that got us in here!"
"Wait, really? …That's dumb." Tai said.
"Okay, who came up with this dumb rule!" Nora complained.
"It could have been worse. We could have been reading braille." Ren said.
"Who has the time to learn to readthat?!" She exclaimed.
"Hmm… that's actually genius…" Peony mused.
"Alright, let's get this going!" Whitley bravely said, calling out his Darmanitan as Gloria called out her Urshifu, Yang with Dàhuô and Pyrrha with Leoniadas.
BGM: Battle! Regirock/Regice/Registeel (Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire)
The Iron Giant - Registeel
Registeel aimed at the group and unleashed a powerful Hyper Beam at Dàhuô, but he jumped out of the way as he ran over and unleashed a Flare Blitz on the Registeel to knock it back as Darmanitan came running in with an Ice Punch on the Registeel. Registeel responded by aiming a Flash Cannon on Dàhuô head on and knocked the Emboar back. Leoniadas came running in and tackled the Registeel with a Close Combat attack.
Registeel jumped into the air, aiming directly at the Darmanitan and attempted to land on him with a Heavy Slam, but it jumped back with a command from Whitley as Darmanitan threw a Superpower at the Registeel to send it sliding a bit as it attempted to hit it with a Hammer Arm, but Leoniadas got in the way and unleashed Counter to where Registeel nearly stumbled as Urshifu went running in and unleashed Surging Strikes to finish off the Registeel as Gloria would then pull out a Heavy Ball and threw it at the Registeel, where it was caught after three shakes.
End BGM
"Got it!" Gloria smirked as she looked into her phone while Whitley was high fiving Pyrrha and Yang.
"Registeel, The Iron Pokemon: Registeel's body is made of a strange material that is flexible enough to stretch and shrink but also more durable than any metal. It's rumored that this Pokémon was born deep underground in the planet's mantle and that it emerged onto the surface 10,000 years ago."
"Sounds hot…" Yang said.
"Yeah, but he cooled down, so I'm sure he's fine." Ruby chuckled as Gloria released the Registeel.
"Alright, lad! Let's go find the other two Regis!" She said as the Registeel nodded.
"Yeah, but the problem is… I forgot where it's at." Peony said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
"Ah, it's no big deal, we'll just have to find it. Shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Nora shrugged.
It was then that Ruby's Rotom Scroll went off. "Bzzzt: You have a text message from Neo." Rotom said as he flew out of Ruby's pocket.
Hey, come back to the Frigid Sea. There's a temple out here that you're probably looking for. It's in a place called Three Point Pass. - Neo
On our way! - Ruby
Great! See you soon!
"We have to go back to the Frigid Sea. Neo found a temple that's probably in our best interest." Ruby said.
"I was wondering where Neo ran off to…" Yang said as they walked out where they would spot a Spheal rolling toward them as it happily bounced up into Chloe's arms.
"Spheal! Spheal!"
"Did you follow us all the way from the Frigid Sea, little guy?" Chloe asked.
"Spheal!"
"Oh, you are just the cutest!" Chloe giggled.
"Ya know, we could have a little mascot with us…" Anthony said, having an idea. "A cute little mascot for MAJC."
"Oooh, I am all for that idea!" Mona said with her eyes sparkling.
"Indeed. I wouldn't mind having this little cutie rolling around." Zoey said, patting it on the head.
"Spheal!"
"Though I wonder why Whitley's Spheal is so different…" Camrin wondered.
"Maybe his Spheal is a girl?" Mona guessed.
"Actually, his is a shiny." Gloria spoke up.
"SHINY?!" Mona said in surprise and turned to Whitley.
"Oh boy…" Whitley sweatdropped.
"Can we trade? Pretty please?"
Whitley let out a fake grin. "No." He said and turned around to walk away.
"Aw, no fair!" Mona pouted as they walked off to the Frigid Sea.
At Three Point Pass…
"Huh, you'd think we'd have noticed this." Jaune said as they walked along the path while watching a few Golurk interact with some Claydol and Bronzong as they wandered around until they heard whistling as they turned to see Neo waving over to them as they headed over and saw the Split Decision Ruins.
"Ah, now I remember!" Peony said as they walked over to the Ruins where Gloria would read the engravings on the door.
"When gather the three giants, the door of destiny shall be opened." Gloria read and then turned to the Regis. "Well, you lads are up!" She said as the Regis walked forward as the ground rumbled before the door opened as they walked inside… but before they could color in the dots, they felt more rumbling as two Pokemon landed on the ground in front of them.
"Is that them?" Winter asked.
"Re-Re-Regidragoooo!"
"Regi-Regi-Regieleki!"
"Yup, that's them!" Anthony said.
"Wait, we have to fight two of them at once?!" Whitley said, looking a bit intimidated by Regidrago, but then Regirock, Regice and Registeel went to deal with Regielecki as they were faced to deal with Regidrago. "Oh… oh dear…"
A comforting hand was placed on Whitley's shoulder as he saw Winter walk beside him. "You're not fighting that thing alone, dear brother." Winter said, calling out Crystal.
"Vuuuul!" Crystal cried as another Pokeball was heard opening up.
"Cryoga!" Cryogonal cried, then Neo's Vanillish floated over as Whitley nodded at the three of them and called out Sleet.
"Shrew!"
"Alright, let's do this!" Whitley said.
BGM: Battle! Legendary Titans (Pokemon Sword & Shield)
The Lost Regis - Regidrago & Regieleki
Regidrago unleashed a Dragon Breath, but the four Ice Pokemon avoided the attack as Crystal and Vanilla unleashed an Ice Beam on the Regidrago where Cryogonal hit it with an Aurora Beam. Sleet ran over and unleashed a Powder Snow. Regidrago had managed to dodge the Ice Beam and Powder Snow, but got hit with the Aurora Beam. Regidrago jumped up in the air and unleashed Dragon Energy at the four Ice types, sending them all flying after a powerful explosion.
"Mmm! That's a powerful move if I've ever seen one!" Winter said. "Crystal, you alright?"
"Vul!" Crystal nodded, shaking it off as Sleet, Vanilla and Cryogonal had shaken it off as well.
"Alright, good! Blizzard!"
"Vulpiiiiix!" Crystal unleashed a Blizzard as Vanilla flew over and from a sharp whistle from Neo, Vanilla unleashed an Icicle Spear on the Regidrago, hitting it head on where Cryogonal hit Regidrago with a Freeze-Dry attack.
"Drago…" Regidrago let out a growl and unleashed a Dragon Dance attack before hitting Sleet and Crystal with a Dragon Energy attack that knocked them flying toward a wall.
"No!" Whitley exclaimed as Sleet and Crystal weakly got up, but both of them were ready to keep swinging as Gloria would quickly reach into her bag and then pulled out two Ice Stones.
"I've been meaning to give these to them… but it kept slipping my mind…" She said. "Hey! Use these on them!" She called out, throwing them to Whitley and Winter as they caught them as they both used them on their Pokemon, and right on cue, Crystal and Sleet started to glow as both of them let out a small gasp as they evolved into Sandslash and Ninetales.
"Slaaaash!"
"Taaaales!"
Whitley and Winter looked at them in awe, before looking at each other with a nod. "Alright, you two… attack the Regidrago!" Winter ordered.
The two of them nodded as the two of them ran toward them as Crystal protected the Cryogonal with a Dazzling Gleam and Sleet protected Vanilla with an Icicle Spear, both of them hitting the Regidrago as it let out a pained cry. "Thanks, you two." Willow said. "Ice Beam!" She ordered as the Cryogonal hit the Regidrago where it responded by using Dragon Energy, this time the four of them dodged as Neo let out a sharper whistle as Vanilla let out a cry before unleashing Sheer Cold on Regidrago, freezing it instantly before the ice shattered and then Regidrago fell on its back right at the same time as the three Golems struck the Regieleki with Hyper Beams and knocked it next to the Regidrago where Gloria threw two Timer Balls, where they would both be caught after three shakes.
End BGM
"Got 'em!" Gloria grinned as Whitley would hug his family while also high fiving Neo.
"Woo! We got 'em all now!" Ruby cheered as Gloria released the two Pokemon and healed them up with a Hyper Potion.
"Come on, you two! Let's go find your creator." Gloria said as the two Pokemon nodded and they walked outside… but as they did, they felt the ground rumbling as they saw Regigigas approaching them. "Oooor… let him find us."
"Ah, I've heard you found the two so I came as quick as I could." Regigigas said as the golems walked over to Regigigas. "Thank you all."
"Ah, it was no big deal." Nora waved it off. "Sure, the requirements were dumb… but at least we got them! At least we didn't have to learn to read Braille!"
"Oh, it could have been a whole lot worse, my dear lightning girl." A familiar voice said.
"…Oh no…" Yang groaned.
"Oh no?" Peony wondered as suddenly, Hades popped up from the ground and landed near them.
"Hello, my dear friends!" Hades waved.
"Hades!" Yang growled.
"Who's Hades?" Peony asked.
"He's an asshole who made our lives miserable at one point." Yang responded.
"Ah ah ah! I wouldn't say "miserable", I'd say I made it more fun. Oh, and by the way, that's lovable asshole to you, firecracker." Hades smirked.
"Wait, hold on a sec! What do you mean it could have been a whole lot worse?" Nora asked.
"Ah! Glad you asked, my hyperactive hammer girl. You see, you could have been finding Regigigas in Hoenn. First, you will have to find the Golems, then you will need to nickname the Regice… and then finally, give him a NeverMeltIce or a CasteliaCone, and then waltz you way over to Regice's cavern… and then you will find the big guy. Oh, and it has to be in the day time."
"Bloody WHAT?!" Gloria yelled.
"…Who comes up with these stupid requirements?!" Nora said exasperatedly.
"That was not my brightest moment…" Regigigas mumbled.
"Indeed… now let's make things interesting." Hades said, snapping his fingers as a wave of darkness hit Regigigas.
"Gaaaah!" Regigigas cried as he fell on both knees and holding on to his head.
BGM: Boss Prelude (Kirby's Return to Dreamland)
"What are you doing?!" Rosalina yelled.
"Spicing things up, my dear!" Hades said as the Golems tried to attack Hades. "Settle down, kiddies!" He said, hitting them with a wave of darkness as well, and before anyone could do anything, he snapped his fingers as they all teleported away… before they ended up in a Den where they would see Regigigas and the Golems slowly rising to their feet as they aimed their hands at them.
"You possessed them?!" Whitley said in surprise.
"Possession is such a strong word… let's just say I convinced them to slaughter you all!" Hades grinned. "Now, let's make this more fun." He said, snapping his fingers as they saw their Pokeballs sizzling a bit.
"What did you-?!"
"Fried their circuitry. You will not be able to call out your Pokemon." Hades chuckled. "Don't worry, you'll get your Pokemon back… if you survive the slaughter that is! Hahahaha!"
"Rrrgh… HADES, I'M GONNA THROTTLE YOU!" Yang yelled as Hades let out a chuckle as he walked over to a spot and summoned a chair with a bag of popcorn.
"Don't mind me, I'll just sit here and watch the fireworks!" Hades said.
Ruby clenched her fists. "Alright… then you leave us with no other choice." She said, as Ruby, Yang, Tai and JNPR called upon their Wisps for assistance while Winter pulled out her rapier as Gloria pulled out the Red Star and transformed into her Latias form. The others got in their fighting stances as Winter pulled out another rapier and tossed it to Willow. Ling got in front of Whitley as she got in a kickboxing stance.
"Alright, let's get ready to rumble!" Mona exclaimed.
End BGM
BGM: Battle Mode Battle 2 (Pokemon Colosseum)
The Mighty Boss Stones - The Regis
Mona ran over to Regirock and punched it, but it blocked with its arms and retaliated by slugging her in the gut to knock her back. "Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this." She smirked, cracking her knuckles and charged at the Regirock as the rest of MAJC started to attack them as well. Ruby rushed over to Regieleki and slashed it, but the Regieleki jumped back and used Thunderbolt on her, striking her but she shook it off and she jumped back and aimed her scythe at him as the Cyan Wisp went inside of her.
"LASER!"
Ruby would shoot out lasers at Regieleki, but to her surprise, it was fast enough to zip through the lasers as it would rush at her with Extremespeed.
"DRILL!"
Yang slammed into the Regieleki and knocked it away as she and Ruby looked at each other and then nodded as they rushed at the Regieleki while Registeel unleashed a Zap Cannon on Neo, but she rolled out of the way as she and her squad counter attacked on the Registeel. Regice rushed at Jaune with an Ice Beam, but Jaune jumped away as the Crimson Wisp went inside of him.
"EAGLE!"
Jaune flew up in the air as he pulled out his Zora Gloves as he shot out streams of water at the Regice, but it simply froze the water with an Ice Beam. Jaune dive bombed and struck the Regice with a Water Blade attack and pushed it back as he then kicked it away, then narrowly dodged a Hyper Beam attack. Regirock, meanwhile, attacked Nora and Tai as they both rolled out of the way as Nora's eyes glowed blue and her hair started to stick up. The Ivory Wisp went inside of her to help amplify her electricity.
"LIGHTNING!"
Nora zipped over to Regirock and delivered an uppercut with her fist, pushing Regirock back as Tai's whole body was coated in metal as he jumped up in the air and punched Regirock hard enough to push it back as he punched the ground to create an earthquake to knock Regirock back, but then it used Lock On on Tai and then fired a Hyper Beam. He attempted to dodge it, but it curved and struck him. "Gah!" Tai yelled as Nora raised her hands up as thunder clouds appeared above Regirock as she snapped her fingers as a massive lightning bolt struck Regirock. Regirock didn't seem all that affected as Nora launched herself to Regirock and attempted to hammer it, but it backhanded her to knock her away. Mona would run in and deliver a few powerful blows as she also did her Surging Strikes attack that she had learned from the Isle of Armor.
Pyrrha lifted herself from the ground with her eyes glowing orange as she was joined by Ren and Gloria as they rushed at Regigigas as he attempted to grab them but they avoided the Crush Grip as Gloria unleashed Draco Meteor on Regigigas. Regigigas responded with a Zen Headbutt on Gloria, but she swiftly avoided the attack as she launched a Mist Ball on him as Pyrrha wrapped herself in a fiery ring and then she raised her arm up as a pillar of fire struck Regigigas from underneath as Ren flew over and Wind Kicked Regigigas to push him back a little. Regigigas grabbed a hold of Ren and attempted to squish him with Crush Grip, but Gloria flew over and used Zen Headbutt to knock him back and released his grip on Ren.
"Hahahaha! Oh, this is so wonderful!" Hades laughed, when he then noticed a laser headed right for him as he quickly got up and blocked it with his hand. He would see that Rosalina landed in front of him as Summer was right next to her. "Ah, the two mothers! Come to enjoy the show?"
"No." Summer responded, her hands glowing as she summoned a white ball and chain.
"Ooooh! A ball and chain? I thought you were a scythe user."
"Scythes aren't my specialty, but I can summon one if I want to use one." Summer said as she threw it at Hades, forcing him to dodge as Rosalina threw a meteor at him, which he was able to grab and destroy easily, but Summer would be throwing the Ball and Chain through the rubble and struck Hades in the face.
"Mmmph!" Hades grunted and then chuckled. "Well, I can see where the rose bud got her spark from!" He smirked, firing dark lasers at them but Rosalina would protect them both with a forcefield as Summer jumped out and wrapped the chain around her while doing tricks with it before throwing it at Hades to which he deflected with a backhand, where he would then be struck by a Cosmic Energy Blast that would push him back. "Heh, well, this is gonna be more fun than I had anticipated!"
Regidrago slammed into the Schnee Women, pushing them back as Willow nearly stumbled but she recovered. "You alright?" Winter asked.
"Yeah… been a while since I've been in combat." Willow winced as she, Winter and Ling ran ahead and attacked the Regidrago while Whitley was by himself, watching the girls fight.
Rrrgh… I can't let them have all the fun… and yet my Pokeballs have been disabled. Crap, what do I do? Whitley thought as he eyed a rock on the ground as he picked it up, flashing back to the two Sumo Bros that was picking on Ling. "Don't be stupid, Whitley…" He said, but his body didn't listen as he threw it at the Regidrago. Crap! Not again! He thought as the rock struck the Regidrago. It then turned to him as it charged up Dragon Energy and fired at Whitley, but Ling quickly pushed him out of the way and got hit by it.
"AGH!" Ling cried, getting blasted several feet.
"Ling!" Whitley cried as Regidrago used Dragon Dance before backhanding Whitley while Willow rushed toward Ling, only to get struck by a Hyper Beam as she nearly fell over while wincing, but she powered through and was by Ling's side as Winter immediately got in front of the two as she got ready to defend them as she summoned a few ice Beowolves to help out, but where quickly eliminated when Regirock jumped over and hit them with a Hyper Beam as Nora, Mona and Tai quickly punched it away as Regidrago unleashed Dragon Energy as Winter attempted to block the attack, but the Dragon Energy struck her as she let out a pained scream as she fell on both knees, her aura quickly depleted as a result… but she slowly rose.
No… no, this can't be happening…! Whitley thought, seeing it charge up another Dragon Energy as Winter readied herself. "No… no…!" Whitley said, reaching his hand out in desperation right as Regidrago shot the Dragon Energy. "NOOOOOO!" He yelled as the Dragon Energy hit them with a powerful explosion as Whitley looked on in horror… but when the smoke cleared, he let out a gasp as a black glyph had protected his family.
End BGM
Winter opened her eyes after bracing for impact. "Huh…?" She wondered as she looked around. "Weiss?" She wondered, but didn't see Weiss at all as her eyes turned to Whitley as he looked completely surprised himself. "Whitley, you…"
"…Unlocked my semblance…" Whitley whispered as both of them made eye contact and nodded as Regidrago turned to Whitley and used Hyper Beam on him, but he quickly summoned another Gravity Glyph to block the attack.
BGM: Weiss Mix (BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle)
Whitley snapped his fingers as two white glyphs appeared next to Regidrago as icicles shot out and struck the Dragon Orb Pokemon as Winter went running over and slashed at Regidrago in retaliation while Jaune flew over and healed up Ling before using his Semblance on Winter to recharge her. "Thanks." Winter nodded as she summoned a few white glyphs of her own as icebergs struck the Regidrago as Willow came running over and stabbed the Regidrago a few times and then Ling jumped over and kicked the Regidrago away.
"Alright, let's give it our all." Whitley said, snapping his fingers as yellow glyphs appeared as lightning bolts struck Regidrago. Regidrago responded by attempting to strike them with a Dragon Energy attack, but then suddenly a green laser struck the Regidrago as the Schnees and Ling looked up to see Penny flying in along with R3-B7.
"Salutations!" Penny called out, catching the attention of everyone.
"Hey, it's Penny! And… who's that?" Ruby wondered.
"Is that… a remodeled R3-B7?" Yang tilted her head.
"You ready, sis?" Penny asked.
"Ready!" R3-B7 nodded.
"Then let's go!" Penny said as they flew down as Penny would quickly slash at the Regidrago and turned to them. "Need some help?"
"We were handling ourselves just fine, but the more the merrier." Winter said.
"Alright!" Penny said, quickly firing lasers at Regidrago as it responded with a Dragon Breath attack on Penny, but she blocked with her blades as she quickly countered by firing lasers of her own while R3-B7 aimed her hand at Regigigas where it turned into an arm cannon.
"Eat this!" She yelled, firing a cyan laser and striking Regigigas and pushed him back.
"Thanks R3-B7!" Gloria said, unleashing Dragon Pulse.
"That's not my name anymore."
"Huh?"
"I'll tell you later!" She said as she flew over and delivered a kick to Regigigas' head as she then fired Burst shots at him and was joined by Pyrrha throwing a fiery dragon at him, then Ren pulled out his Ren Bow and started firing arrows at the giant.
Regidrago unleashed Dragon Energy on Penny, but she would counter this by combining her blades and firing a huge laser as both of them were locked in a standstill. Whitley clapped his hands as a red glyph appeared behind Regidrago and hit him with a fireball, then he summoned a few gravity glyphs underneath Regidrago as Winter jumped on these and quickly delivered a few thrusts at Regidrago before hitting it with an iceberg that made it stumble, giving Penny the chance to push through and engulf the Regidrago with her laser as it fell to the ground as one by one, the other Regis had fallen to the ground as Regigigas fell on his back in defeat.
Whitley nearly fell, but Ling and Winter caught him. "Man… I feel exhausted…"
"Easy now…" Winter said with a proud smile on her face.
End BGM
Hades slugged Summer in the gut hard enough for her to make her go flying but Rosalina brought her back and thrusted her to Hades as Summer swung her ball and chain and struck Hades, but he had blocked it with his arms, but with Summer's momentum, she flipped herself over and kicked him in the gut where Rosalina slammed a meteor on top of him. "Heh!" Hades dusted himself off. "I have to say, fighting you two sure is fun, but it appears my minions have been defeated. Oh well."
"Your minions?!" Summer said in disgust.
"I have to say, you've impressed me. Both of you!" He chuckled. "You, in particular." He said to Summer. "As I said before, I can see where the rose bud got her spark. I don't normally say this to anyone, but you have earned my respect! I have indeed earned the Mama Bear's wrath."
"Considering what you did to my daughter with those Dark Clones, you definitely did deserve it!" Summer glared.
"Oh? You think I was responsible for the creation of them?"
"You pulled the strings, and even when Ruby cut her clone's eyes out, you still egged them on to fight them. Even in death, you were probably guiding them."
"It's hard to keep track of those four even in death." Hades said. "As far as I'm concerned, Dark Ruby is a lost cause." He shrugged with a grin on his face. "Until we meet again, mama bear!" He said, disappearing in a portal.
"Mmmph… I can see why no one likes him." Rosalina said and looked at Summer. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be alright. Might feel a bit bruised, but I'm alright." She said as the two walked back to the others as the Regis slowly rose up and then in a bright light, they found themselves out of the Den as they saw their Pokeballs lighting up once more.
"Thank you for knocking us back to our senses." Regigigas said as he opened up a portal. "I will take them back to my home." He said as he walked into the portal along with the Regis. Regieleki turned around and waved before bouncing his way in.
"Well… that was quite something…" Yang said as the Wisps came out as they turned to the two robots.
"So, I believe you owe us an explanation." Gloria said. "What is her name now?"
Penny smiled and turned to her. "Want to tell them your new name?"
"Sure!" She smiled and turned to the others. "I used to be known as R3-B7… but I have been reprogrammed and have been given a new name." She said as she lifted her hand up as fire came out and spelled out four letters. S-A-P-R.
"Uh… Sayper…?" Ruby tilted her head.
"No silly." Penny giggled. "It's pronounced Sapphire."
"Ooooh…"
"Yes. That is my new name." R3-B7, now SAPR, said. "It's strange though… I feel as if my programming has been refurbished or something. I can't really remember what my original programming was about." She said as Ruby, Yang, Summer, Tai, Rosalina, Gloria and JNPR grimaced at this, remembering what she used to be. "Ah, it's not a big deal. My new directive is having fun with you guys!" She giggled as she walked toward them, but stumbled. Luckily, Penny caught her.
"She okay?" Gloria asked.
"Yeah, she's okay. She's just not used to walking on her new legs." Penny said.
"It's taking a while…" SAPR sheepishly said.
"Ahahaha! Nice to meet ya!" Peony said.
"And where have YOU been?" Winter asked.
"Hiding behind a rock. I don't have any combat skills outside of Pokemon…" Peony chuckled, scratching his cheek.
"WHAT THE?!" Gloria suddenly yelled as she was looking into her Rotom Phone.
"What is it?" Ruby asked.
"Regieleki, the Electron Pokemon: This Pokémon is a cluster of electrical energy. It's said that removing the rings on Regieleki's body will unleash the Pokémon's latent power. Its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy. Regieleki is capable of creating all Galar's electricity."
"Oh coooool! He's a never ending generator!" Nora said.
"…Why is she shaking?" Jaune wondered.
"All this time… after all this focking time…" Gloria growled, flashing back to when she had a conversation with Rose when she came into Hammerlocke for the first time.
"Unfortunately, we're seeming to be running into an energy crisis…" Rose said.
"So, just conserve the energy. Request that no one runs electricity that much." Gloria suggested. "That'll solve yer problem."
"It's not that simple… we're running out of energy. If we don't do something soon, then Galar will be facing an even bigger crisis. If only we had something with us to restore power…"
"I'm sure you'll think of something. After all, you're the chairman, you'll think of something soon, lad!"
"We are running out of time… if only it were that simple."
"That… idiot…!" Gloria growled, trembling in rage. "He could've just came here and grabbed Regieleki!"
"…Is she okay?" SAPR asked with concern.
"Rrrrrgh… WHAT THE FOOOOOOO-"
Meanwhile, back in Freezington…
"Is she going to be okay?" Kali asked as they were in the other room.
"Yes, she'll be fine." Klein said as he was sitting down with Ghira as both of them were playing chess. "Blake hasn't moved a muscle."
"Well, they are close friends." Ghira said, moving his piece.
"Indeed, and ever since Weiss was bound to her wheelchair, Blake has frequently visited her more often than Ruby and Yang. They became closer ever since." Klein explained. "Those two are total best friends at this point. It wouldn't surprise if one day, Blake was severely injured and Weiss never left her side. Friendship is a beautiful thing." He said as Ghira and Kali nodded in agreement.
In the other room…
"Mmm…" Weiss slowly opened her eyes as she rose. She felt a sharp pain in her chest as she looked down and saw the three scars on her chest. Three diagonal lines that started from her shoulder and ended at the left side of her chest, just below the heart. She looked up and saw her smaller Pokemon resting at her feet while Glastrier was resting beside her off the bed. She looked out the window and saw Azure resting his head on the window sill outside. She looked to the side and saw Sun and Neptune looking through their scrolls. She then looked down and saw Blake resting her arms and head on the side of her bed. She also noticed Absol resting next to Blake.
Weiss let out a chuckle and gently patted Blake on the head, which was enough to wake her up as she looked up to see her. "Weiss…!" She whispered, as Weiss could see her blood shot eyes.
BGM: Until the End (RWBY)
"Hey Blake." She smiled as Blake looked at her scars.
"How are they…?"
"Oh, I feel a burning sensation from it, but I should be okay." She said and then sighed. "I think…"
"I'm… I'm so sorry…" Blake's ears lowered. "If… if I had just…"
"Don't." Weiss spoke up. "This isn't your fault. It's my father's… he branded Adam's face and since my father's in jail, Adam has it out for me and my family. He's ruthless… he was flashing that in my face as if to remind me what my father had done." Weiss clenched her fists, remembering how her first argument with Blake went down. "Father would always come home angry and he would just… rant. It was because of that I always saw Faunus as nothing more than a bunch of degenerate animals, but… something made me see that I was being a discriminatory brat…"
"What did?"
"You did. After you left, it… it made me see that not all of the Faunus were bad. There are people who push Faunus around, and my father is no exception. He was so obsessed with teaching Faunus a thing or two, like enslaving them into the mines or branding them with that SDC logo. I never thought he would do something like that… and yet, I saw it for myself. When father said that he branded Faunus… I thought he just meant "labeling them", not that. My family suffered from his wrath… and I can imagine things got worse the moment I wound up being falsely arrested in Delfino…"
"Adam… he wasn't normally like this." Blake said. "We were pushed around, but we endured it… and he endured it the worst from what I can tell. The moment he first killed a human by "accident", he kept doing more of it, kept saying it was an accident but I knew for a fact that he was going down a dark path. I had to abandon him because I didn't want to go down the same path as he was on. Unfortunately, Sienna egged him on… and the moment I called her out on it, the moment Adam snapped… and the moment I saw her again in the Smash Mansion, I could see the look in her eyes. She looked completely bothered… as if she realized she created a monster that can never come back."
Weiss let out a groan. "Well, we're a bunch of hot messes aren't we? Having to deal with what my father had wrought and… what Adam had become… ugh… this is just lovely…"
"Yeah… what do you think we should do?"
"We can start… by trying to fix it." Weiss said. "It's going to be difficult. I know we did horrible things… mostly my father, and we're trying not to be like him. It just doesn't stop with a peace treaty… we need to try to unite the humans and the faunus. Show them that we shouldn't be at war with each other… it's gonna be hell, but… it's the best we can do. The peace treaty is just a stepping stone, and we need to make it grow into something more. I don't know if I can-"
"What's with this "I" stuff? I'm help you too… we both will. We'll work together to put a stop to this and together, we'll put a stop to Adam and the Crimson Fang." She looked away. "After all… I helped crea-"
"Stop. You didn't do anything to create the Crimson Fang. Adam was just saying that just to make you feel terrible. I know you, Blake. You didn't help create the Crimson Fang, you didn't have a hand on nearly killing me… and by golly, you weren't the one who killed me. Adam was the one who did all that… well, most of it. I'm still alive, after all… and I've got a massive battle scar to prove it."
Blake teared up. "Y-you're right…" She said.
"Cheer up, Blake… we've got a long road ahead of us and I think it'll be easier if we get rid of Adam."
"And we'll help you out too!" Sun said as he and Neptune walked off. "Cause that's what we boyfriends do! Help out our girlfriends in their time of need!"
"You got that right." Neptune chuckled.
Blake's ears lowered. "Yeah… but Adam has magic that can wipe the floor with anyone…"
"I know, I had a front row seat to that…" Weiss muttered and then an idea hit her on the head. "Wait a moment. I just remembered something." She said as Blake looked at her. "I overheard the Zeldas while we were setting up karaoke night the other day. They said they sensed magic had returned to Remnant… so perhaps if the both of us can get magic, we could easily counter Adam's!"
"There's just one problem. How are we going to learn magic?" Blake asked.
Weiss sweatdropped. "I… uh… I'll think of something." She said. "But besides that, if we can get the SDC's relations up with the Faunus, not to mention the entirety of Remnant, then it'll be a start. The sooner we get rid of Adam, the better." She looked Blake into the eyes. "You in?"
Blake smiled. "Yes. Totally." She said, hugging Weiss.
"Agh! Not so tight!"
"Oh… sorry!" She said, loosening the hug as Weiss hugged her back.
Trying to recreate the Regi cries from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was fun. A bit awkward to write down, but fun!
