Pikachu564: This is gonna be a developent chapter in a way too.

Spark: And may be a bit hard to actually believe this is happening to Kirby.

Rick: But it has to happen, Kirby needs to learn from this in a way that can benefit both the team and himself.

Jude: In other words, Kirby has to learn something from this?

Data: I think so... but it seems too painful for both Blade and Echo.

Leafeon: This is how its suppose to be.

Lucky: We have Reviews.

Pikachu564: Perfect, please read them.

Pddf999: I mean that u can make a extra long chapter so it won't be so short

Pikachu564: I can try to make this chapter long, especially with the fact I'm going to add three battle scenes on this chapter.

Spark: Yep, its gonna be one of those long chapters.

Rick: I need a nap.

Pikachu564: No napping on the job, next.

BAKCHEEZAI :All right, I think split personalities make things all the more complicated, but I'm sure you can make it work.

Still excited for the next Meta Knight battle. I've also got some kind of suggestion for the plot towards the end, specifically at the Unova League, but that will be for later.

Pikachu564: It's not as complicated as you think. Fenrir is Echo's Aura. Whenever Echo is in a life threatening situation or until Echo's starts to try and control his aura. He shuts down and Fenrir takes over his body.

Leafeon: But Echo is the one getting hurt since it's his body. Fenrir is just a substitute subconscious.

Lucky: So Fenrir battles the threat or trains while Echo gets to know Fenrir a bit more.

Pikachu564: They'll be able to communicate in the future, but he Echo doesn't know a single thing about Aura sadly. I even have something plan for Echo with Kirby and Eva with Kirby in the Kalos Region if I continue. And I actually would like to hear that suggestion, but send it as a PM, not as a Review please.

Jude: It get's really messy if we get a suggestion for the story in the review that we didn't ask for.

Data: It's better if we ask it and you guys put it in the reviews, but if we didn't ask for it we'll just be confuse on why is it in the reviews..

Pikachu564: Next one please.

JetInMoonX: Good chapter. I hope 41 come soon. And you are inspiring me to make a Fanfic! (It is being made,but not here,it has FakeMon, and is a Mega-Crossover (Characters from tooooooo many places)This FanFic is the best i readed,Thank you.

Pikachu564: Thanks for the positivity and sorry for not getting it out soon with the fact I need to work on my other story. And I would like to see this story of your if possible.

Spark: Sounds exciting.

Pikachu564: Next one.

Lucky: These are for the Meta Knight's new Pokemon.

Pikachu564: Let's hear them.

BAKCHEEZAI: Aw... I thought you already released a chapter... and I was here, all thinking "YOOOO PIKACHU564 ON FIYAH! 2 CHAPTERS WITHIN 24 HOURS!"

But anyway, I think a few Pokémon that Meta Knight could have would be Deino/Zweilous (to be Hydreigon), because the typing suits Meta Knight and it generally feels like a Pokémon Meta Knight would have, Darmanitan to counter Eva and Blade (and maybe Zen Mode), Excadrill to counter Echo, and I dunno, Chandelure, cuz I like it (and it kinda suits Meta Knight, having yellow eyes).

That's really all I could think of, so META KNIGHT HYPE! Really excited for the battle! Also, please make it so that Kirby is alone when he fights Meta and Ash and co. only come back after it, just like before. I don't know why, but I kinda like it that way. Meta Knight feels like a guy that would only engage Kirby alone.

That's all from me for now, keep up the great writing!

P.S. I really like the author's notes every chapter as well, they're funny and cute.

Pikachu564: Some of these are great ideas, and I know how Meta Knight appears out of no where. I won't have a Pokemon Battle for Meta Knight and Kirby unil next chapter, but they will speak to each other.

Spark: I like the idea of having Chandelure and Hydreigon on his his team, but they will have to be a Lampert and a Deino.

Rick: And we kinda don't need Meta Knight to have counters to Kirby's Pokemon. You'll see why soon.

Leafeon: Aww, he thinks we're cute :3

Pikachu564: I don't need you to be happy! NEXT!

Pddf999: he can a umbreon(male), tyrogue(male), thoroh(male), sneasel(female),pawniard(female),mismagius(female). 3 male and 3 female so it's fair

Pikachu564: I'll keep the Umbreon and Sneasel idea, but the other four I can't take. (Main reason, Throh is classic enemy of Sawk, in my view. He has three fighting Pokemon alreadt, so Tyrogue pushing is it. We have too many Bisharp Pokemon Trainers. And I simply disagree with Mismagius... that's it. Next.

JetInMoonX: I think That Golbat Matches him. Bats Pokémon matchs him.

Pikachu564: Hahaha... wait you're serious? Hmmm... I will add Golbat, but it isn't because it matches him the best, but he needs a flying type.

Spark: That funny.

Rick: I like this guys already.

Pikachu564: Quiet, all of you! Next!

JetInMoonX: How i post a Fanfic? (I'm in Android,if this helps.)

Pikachu564: I left instruction in your Fanfiction Inbox. That's all of them for today.

Lucky: Shall we start.

Pikachu564: Disclaimer: I don't own Kirby or Pokemon. Let us begin.

Chapter 41: Distracted...

Narrator Guy: Last time in Kirby's Adventure in Unova! Echo has defeated the Pokemon, Conkeldurr, with his aura self, Fenrir. Kirby raced towards the Pokemon Center in Driftveil City. Nurse Joy has taken Echo and started his treatment when they arrived.

One Day Later... 11:57 PM

Kirby was sitting in a row of chairs with all of his Pokemon and Chepi. They were waiting outside a door with a large first aid symbol on it. Above it was a box with a syringe needle symbol. It was surrounded in a flash of red light and pink puff ball just stared at it. The flashed died down and Nurse Joy came out of the door with a Audino. Kirby stood up and walked towards Nurse Joy with a concern look.

"Are Echo and Blade going to be okay?" Kirby asked. Nurse Joy stared at the star warrior in front of her and simply forced a smile.

"They are going to be fine Kirby, but they won't be able to leave the Pokemon Center for at least a week." She informed. Kirby eyes widen with the rest of his Pokemon. Nurse Joy cleared her throat and took a deep breath. "Both your Pikachu and Bulbasaur had suffered massive amount of damage from their last battle. Blade is recovering from massive exhaustion and two broken feet that will recover in a week, but Echo is recovering from blood loss, fatigue, and broken bones. If anything, they are lucky to survive such a situation." She explained. Kirby looked at her devastated and looked at his Pokemon, who were looking away with pain and concern.

"Is there nothing I can do?" He questioned himself. Nurse Joy looked at Kirby sorrowful and started to walk towards the main desk. She stopped right beside him and looked at him.

"You can see him if you want. Then, you can try to take a break, you haven't slept in a day after all." She suggested then walked away. Audino followed Nurse Joy behind, but before she continue, she looked at Kirby sadly and bowed to him.

{I'm so sorry.} She simply said and chased after Nurse Joy. His Pokemon looked at Kirby carefully, who was gazing at the room then at his Pokemon.

"Should we go in?" He asked. Every single Pokemon gave a nod and Kirby gave a sad sigh. He entered the room and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing. Both Pokemon were on a bed with multiple hearts monitor wires on them. Blade has his on top of his head and three on his bulb. Echo had three on top of his left chest and one on the left side of his head. Both of them had their heart's being monitored, both being at a 76 beats a minutes and had breathing mask. Echo's bright red cheeks and his stomach were covered in bandages and his both his paws covered in bandages. Blade had a cast on his neck and both his front legs were covered in bandages. The Pokemon split up to two separate group and took a closer look at them. Eva realized that Echo had many bruises around his body, especially the stomach. It was covered with a bandage but it showed signs of how devastating both Superpower punches affected Echo. Rose was by Blade's side with a frown, witnesses the amount of small bandages and injures Blade took on. Rammus was comforting Zoey, knowing how painful it is for her now that she knows that two family members were injured badly. Sky and Helios stayed quiet with their eyes close and head low, trying to no make eye contact with anyone. Ivy and Kindle simply cried quietly next to each other between their beds and Soak was silent most of the time with zero jolly behavior on a chair to the side he was sitting on. Leon stood strong with a frown and tears fell out of his eyes, but didn't made a sound. Lastly, Chepi was crying right in Kirby's arms, who was petting her slowly to comfort her. Kirby would sometimes let a few tear fall down his cheeks, but simply dry them off as fast as he could. He took a deep breath and took out six Pokeballs. "It's time to go back guys." He said. Everyone looked at him slowly then gave a firm nod. Kirby took out four Pokeballs The Johto starters were first, then Leon went in. He got out his watch to trade Pokeballs and another set. Zoey and Rammus went in there Pokeball with Sky and Helios behind them. Kirby switched Zoey and Rammus for Rose and Blade's Pokemon and he silently grunted. He looked at Rose and Eva, who were still standing next to the injured Pokemon. He looked over to Chepi and gave a small smile.

"Hey Chepi, would you like to become a part of my team?" He questioned. Chepi looked at him confused.

{But it's my fault Kirby, if they didn't went looking for me, this wouldn't have happened.} She argued. Kirby shook his head slowly and pointed at himself.

"Don't blame yourself Chepi, it was my fault. I'm wasn't there to protect them and I didn't keep my promise to Blade." He countered. The fox looked at him surprised.

{What was it?} She asked. Kirby smile disappeared and his head lowered with a sad frown.

"To help them find you, and to help any Pokémon in trouble." He responded. Chepi looked at him confuse, but saw him shaking. "They ran away knowing that you were near by and didn't bother to tell me. I failed both of them when I didn't found you, and I failed because I didn't made it on time to help them." He justified. His eyes filled with water and dried to them as fast as he could before looking at Chepi with a forced smile. She simply stared at him apologetically and nodded. She tapped the Pokeball with her paw and was sucked it. It only shook once then it confirmed the captured. It minimized down to a small size and it was surrounded in a white light. It disappeared from Kirby's hand and he gave a long sigh. He looked at the remaining Pokémon then signaled them to follow him. Rose glanced at Blade one last time and teleported next to Kirby with a sorrowful face. Eva was simply staring at Echo for awhile then gave a nod. She jumped off his bed and ran towards Kirby with tearful eyes. Kirby simply opened the door for both Pokemon to leave first then left the room silently.

Inside Kirby's Room...

Kirby placed his bag on the floor then threw his hat on a chair with a quiet sigh. He jumped up on his bed with a face plant and gave a loud grunt in it. Both female Pokemon got on the bed quietly and lied on it with lots of thoughts in their minds.

"What should I do." He said out loud. Eva and Rose stared at Kirby confused as he flipped himself over and had a tired face.

{What do you mean?} Eva questioned. Kirby looked at her then closed his eyes slowly. He try to think about it and gave a nod to himself and opened his eyes.

"I mean, what should my next move be. Both Echo and Blade are injured and we're going to be here for awhile." He told her. Rose lifted herself up and stared at him.

{Maybe we could battle the Pokemon Gym?} She suggested. Eva thought about it and gave a nod.

{Maybe Rose is right, battling the gym is our best option Kirby.} Eva agreed. Kirby pondered about it, then shook his head.

"I can't do it without-"

{Yes you can Kirby, we should give it a shot.} She argued.

{And we have to do it either way, so its best to do it now while they're healing.} Rose added. Kirby looked at them sadly then sighed in defeat.

"Fine, I'll do it, but I need some sleep." He reasoned. Both Pokemon nodded at the idea before closing there eyes and going to sleep.


Kirby's Dream...

Kirby was surrounded by darkness and he was looking around.

"Hello? Anyone there?" He voiced echoed around him and no response was given. A loud bump was heard ahead and Kirby looked in front of him and saw both Echo and Blade surrounded in a blue spotlight laying in front of him. "Echo? Blade?" He questioned. He was about to walk towards them when he tripped and looked at his feet. He had two shadowy hands holding them. He continue to try and move but failed miserably and he looked ahead again. His his shrunk in fear when he saw Conkeldurr in a red spotlight holding both his pillars up above them and was wearing a huge smirk. The muscular Pokemon's mouth was moving, telling Kirby something, and it made him cry. Conkeldurr let go of both boulder and both Echo and Blade gave their final word to Kirby. Both Pillars squished the Pokemon and red crimson blood splattered out of them and landed in front of Kirby. He started to breath fast and tears fell out of his eyes. He took one last deep breath while everything around him disappeared and a flash of white surrounded him.

Dream Over...

Kirby woke up with a sudden gasp and had tears on his face. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He found both Eva and Rose moving violently in there sleep. He looked at the clock and saw 8:43 AM on the clock. He walked slowly to the chair and grabbed his hat from it and then his bag. He looked back at the sleeping Pokémon and grunted silently.

"Time to wake up guys." He announced. Both Eva and Rose opened their eyes slowly then stood up. They jumped off the bed and walked next to Kirby.

{Morning Kirby.} Eva muttered. Kirby just stared at both Pokemon and realized the dark circle under their eyes.

"Had trouble sleeping?" He questioned. Both of them nodded and notice Kirby's red eyes.

{Did you cry in your sleep?} Eva asked. Kirby stayed silent, trying to forget the dream, and opened the door.

"Let's just eat something before going to the gym." He said with his hat blocking his eyes and left the room with both Pokemon behind him.


Near Driftveil City Gym...

Kirby had both Rose and Eva on his head as he walked down a road that lead to a large building up ahead with a Pokemon Gym symbol on it. He stopped in front of it and just stared at it. He shook his head and was going to go inside the building until a man with light blue mining uniform and a yellow hard hat was about to head out. The man saw Snivy and looked down to find Kirby gazing at him.

"What do you want." The man said. Kirby flinch at the cold tone, but then straighten himself and stared at the man.

"I'd like to request a Pokemon Gym Battle please." He requested. The man had a hard glare at Kirby then turned around.

"Follow me." He told the puff ball and started to walk. Kirby ran behind him and started to look around a ordinary hall way. Kirby was getting confuse with his Pokemon until they reach a Elevator with iron bars as a door and a giant red light bulb on it. The man stopped in front of it for the elevator to ring loudly and opened the iron bar door. The man looked at Kirby and pointed at the elevator. "Get in it." He said and Kirby gave a nod. He went inside the gym and face the other side of the elevator confuse as the other man entered and the elevator started to head down. The man looked at Eva and at Rose to stare at Kirby. "Are these the Pokemon you're going to use against Clay?" He questioned. Kirby looked at him and shook his head.

"No, I don't even know what type of Pokemon he uses." He reasoned. The man looked away and had a smirk.

"Just a hint little puff ball, Clay's Pokemon are extremely strong. So beating him won't be easy." The man told him. Kirby acknowledge the advice and was ready to face a gym, but was in a cave instead. He walked inside it and looked at the man confuse before he pointed at a large a large man with brown hair and eyes. He wears a large cowboy hat, with a yellow stripe and a teal gem on the front. He also wears a sleeveless jacket, with small ribbons on his chest, as well as a hazel shirt underneath. He also wears teal pants, with a belt with a yellow buckle, underneath his large brown ones, as well as a pair of dark shoes. He was holding a large pickaxe and was hitting the floor with it. The man walked up to Clay first and took a deep breath.

"Clay, a new challenger for the gym!" He yelled and the man stopped hitting the ground. The man turned around and found the puff ball standing there with both Pokemon. The man looked closely at the opponent and pondered.

"Didn't you already challenge me?" He questioned. Kirby eyed him suspiciously and shook his head.

"I didn't sir." He responded. Clay kept staring at the star warrior until he tilted his hat forward and nodded.

"You're right, but I fought someone like looks similar to you when I think about it. I think his name was Meta Knight." Clay corrected himself. Kirby flinched at the name, but quickly shook his head and glared at the man.

"I request a gym battle sir." Kirby told him. Clay stared at the puff ball then turned around.

"Follow me then." He ordered and he started to walk deeper into the cave. Kirby followed him into a dead in until he hit a button and opened a secret door. It reveal a large battlefield in the room that was minded out with multiple steel support and large boxes filled with dirt. Kirby stepped inside and got to the left side of the field while Clay was on the right. Both Eva and Rose got off him and Kirby got out a Pokeball from his hat. He looked at Clay and saw a large smirk.

"Why do you have that smirk on your face?" Kirby asked.

"I haven't had a battle for awhile kid, so impress me okay, Let's go Excadrill!" He yelled out and tossed a Pokeball in the air and released the large Steel Mole. It stared over to Kirby and gave a loud battle cry. Kirby looked at his Pokeball and nodded.

"Soak, get ready to battle!" Kirby called out and tossed the Pokeball out. The Pokeball opened up and reveal the water-type standing there with sad eyes and looked up at the Drill Pokemon. "Soak... please stay focus, we're doing our gym battle." Kirby told him. Soak looked at Kirby with tears in his eyes and gave a nod. Clay and Excadrill remained confuse at the act but just grunted.

"Let's get this started." Clay told the the man that helped Kirby earlier and he nodded.

"The Driftveil Gym challenge will now begin. Challenger Kirby versus the Gym Leader, Clay. This will be a three on three battle and the battle will be over when all three Pokemon on either side are unable to battle. Also, only the challenger is allowed to substitute his Pokemon. Let the Battle Begin!" The referee yelled out.

"Excadrill, ram it with Rock Smash!" He ordered. It claw turn bright red and with orange on the center of it and lunged himself towards Soak.

"Soak, counter with Ice Punch! 10% Power!" He ordered. The Totodile charged his fist with ice power and had it in ten percent until it burst with Power and spikes came out of it. Excadrill slammed the Rock Smash onto the Ice Punch then broke it to pieces before pushing the Pokemon away with lot of force and leaving a Totodile vulnerable. Clay smirked at the open spots the Pokemon revealed and spun his Pickaxe.

"Excadrill, slash him with Metal Claw!" He executed. Excadrill claws turn bright steel color and he ran towards Soak.

"Soak, use Water Gun! 30% Power!" Kirby commanded. Soak took a deep breath and was about to release water, but Excadrill beat him and slammed his claw on his stomach and pushed him away back towards Kirby. Soak looked at Kirby and gave a sad sigh.

{Kirby, I can't do it. I'm too depressed to control my power, if fact, everyone is like this back in Vi's house, no one is training or moving until Echo and Blade are cured.} He reasoned. Kirby looked at Soak carefully and then at Eva and Rose, who were looking away and had their eyes closed.

"I can't let you continue then Soak." He concluded. He got out a Pokeball and sucked him back inside it. Clay looked at Kirby confuse and growled.

"What is the meaning of this? Didn't you want a gym battle?" He yelled.

"I can't force my Pokemon to fight if they can't Clay. I forfeit from getting that gym badge, but I'll fight Excadrill at least." Kirby reasoned. Clay looked at Kirby confuse, but saw him pull out two orbs and ate a grey orb and a orange orb. He ate them together the jumped in the air.

Transformation Begun.

Kirby jumped in the air and large pieces of cloth fell on his and it attached to his arms. It grew massive claws on each hand. THen his skin shune brightly before it was covered in color iron and the animal claws were covered in steel next.

Transformation Done.

Kirby landed back on the ground with his new form and surprised both Excadrill and Clay. The gym leader rubbed his chin for awhile then nodded.

"Alright, this is new. I'll see if this was a waste of time or not." He said.

"This isn't for a gym badge anymore, I'll just fight him with all my strength" Kirby said and got in attack position.

"Josh, this is a mock battle then. I want to see how strong this puff ball is." Clay told him and the Referee nodded. He raised both arms and took a deep breath.

"The challenger Kirby has forfeit the gym match, but a mock battle between Kirby and Clay's Excadrill will begin shortly." He yelled out. Kirby got in position to fight and looked straight at Excadrill, who was in his battle stance, then a sudden flash of the Conkeldurr in his dream replaced the mole. Kirby glared at the mole, who glared back and gave a smirk.

"Let the battle begin!" He announced and Kirby ran forwards with both claws in front of him.

"Excadrill, Metal Claw!" Clay ordered and Excadrill turn his claws bright steel. He ran towards Kirby with both claws and brought them back.

"Metal Drill." He yelled. Both claws turn bright steel and started to spin violently. Clay admired the attack and saw Kirby slammed both his claws onto Excadrill's Metal Claw and pushed it back. Excadrill looked surprise at the counter and growled.

{I won't be defeated so easily pipsqueak.} Excadrill told him. Kirby smirked at the comment but another flash of Conkeldurr appeared in front of him. His eyes turnedfurious and his was gritting his teeth.

"You'll pay for what you did." He said and lunged himself at Excadrill.

"Excadrill, Dig underground!" Clay ordered. Excadrill got in drill form and dug underground fast while stopped in front of the hole and and grinned.

"You're not getting away!" Kirby yelled and charge a large steel beam with his claws and a large mud ball inside of it. "Mud Cannon!" He screamed and launched the combination attack at the hole. Eva looked over to Clay, who was smirking at the attempt.

{Kirby, get out of there!} Eva yelled. Kirby was focusing on the hole until he felt a sudden crack under him and Excadrill came out to knock him up.

"Knock him inside the hole!" Clay ordered and the Excadrill grabbed the puff ball and threw him in the hole. A long stream of smoke came out of the hole with Kirby coming out of it. He landed on the ground with injuries, but stood back up and looked at Excadrill. Kirby started to growl violently and pointed his claws at him.

"I'm not going to let you hurt them again." He whispered. Excadrill looked at him confuse while Eva and Rose eyes widen. "I'll won't let you kill them!" He yelled and Clay had a surprised face.

{Look kid, seems like you had a traumatic experience, so lets stop crying and continue with our ba-}

"Shut up!" He shouted and his hand was being filled with stars. "Meteor Mash." He screeched and ran towards Excadrill with a glare. Clay gave a nod at Excadrill and got into his attack stance.

"Excadrill, end this now with Horn Drill!" He yelled and Excadrill's head started to spin violently and enhanced into a large form. Kirby slammed Meteor MAsh on Excadrill stomach, but he endure it and stabbed Kirby with it. The horn made Kirby spin around until Excadrill thrust his horn one last time to blast Kirby away and collided to a wall.

{Kirby!} His Pokemon yelled and ran to the wall. Kirby reverted back to normal with swirls in his eyes and a frown.

"Poyo..." He cried out and stood up slowly. He shook his head and sat up with confusion in his eyes. "What happen?" He questioned. Eva and Rose were beside Kirby while Clay was in front of him with a angry face.

"I hope your happy kid. Not only did you forfeit the match before it even begun, you also lost yourself mid battle with Excadrill." He informed.

"Bu-"

"No buts Kirby, I don't want you to come back to this gym at least for one week. Don't come back to waste my time again." He said and turn his back on him. "Take a break Excadrill." Clay said and shot a red beam at the mole Pokemon. Clay walked away and Josh stayed behind with Kirby.


At the Pokemon Center...

Kirby made it back to the Pokemon center after failing to defeat the Gym Leader mock battle against his Excadrill. He is being treated by Nurse Joy, who is still applying bandages on him.

"What were you think fighting his Excadrill, Kirby. You could have gotten hurt." She scolded. Kirby simply didn't respond and turn his head from the Nurse and was looking at Echo and Blade. He gave a sad sigh and looked at her.

"How are Echo and Blade?" He questioned. Nurse Joy gaze at Kirby and saw the amount of concern he had for them. She looked at the Pokemon and smiled.

"Both of your Pokemon are recovering perfectly. They'll be okay." She said. Kirby looked back at the fallen Pokemon and nodded.

"Thank you." He said. Nurse Joy applied the last bandage and Kirby jumped of the table and walked away.

"Where are you going?" She asked. Kirby looked back at the Nurse with his hat on his hand he looked at Nurse Joy and gave a smile.

"I'm gonna go out for a bit... can you take care of my Pokemon?" He asked and tossed her six mini Pokeballs. She caught all four and looked at Kirby surprised. "There are two outside of them in my room. I'll be taking my leave." He said and walked away

"But you're injured. You can't leave in a vulnerable state." She explained. Kirby turned away and he frowned.

"I can take care of myself, but I need some time to think." He said and walked out the door. When getting out, he ran into Rose and Eva, who were staring at him and he simply tilted his hat.

{Where are you going Kirby?} Eva asked him. Kirby looked at her sadly and sighed.

"I'm gonna go... think about what just happen." He said and walked passed her. He stopped later and looked back at the two.

"Take care of Echo and Blade until I get back." He said and out of the Pokemon Center. Rose was going to stop him, but Eva used her vines to hold her back and shook her head.

{Let him figure it out.} She simply said. They looked at the door sadly and were wondering what was going through Kirby's mind.


Route 6 On the Mountains...

Kirby ran inside a cave after the area he was in started to rain. He sat in the cave with hat in his hat and had tears in his eyes.

"What am I going to do?" He questioned himself. Unknown to him, two yellow aura eyes were staring at him from beyond the cave.


Pikachu564: I could have made this longer but...

Spark: It seems we should split it in two chapters.

Rick: Only reason why we did this is so Kirby will gain experience from his mentor.

Lucky: It will be ore effective this way.

Leafeon: I guess thats one way to put it. Data, would you please do your job please.

Data: Okay, this chapter analysis is Soak, Kirby's Totodile. Soak is know to have unlimited power. Kirby's Pokemon, Zoey and Rammus, focus on him controlling that power so he won't exhaust himself so fast. Soak is fast to react and when he releases a move with 100% power it evolves into the next stage and launches a strong attack. There have been rumors in Kirby's team that if Soak releases 1000% power, its resembles a Z-Moves Power.

Jude: Very nice. Alright, this is the end of the chapter.

Pikachu564: Leave a review of what you think.

Spark: And remember to follow or favorite this story please.
