Spark: I am slowly dying on the inside.
Rick: Aww look at yourself, you seem broken pal.
Spark: Leave me alone.
Pikachu564: Alright, lets get the chapter started, but first, reviews please.
Lucky: Okay.
BAKCHEEZAI: You're finally back! I'll keep this review short and simple.
Well, we thought Max Aura was powerful, but Limit Break? Final Fantasy, is that you? Unfortunately, Echo can't control that right now...
Looking forward to that eighth gym battle and the Unova League, of course. Hopefully he masters the Aura by then.
Pikachu564: Indeed, Max Aura allows aura Pokemon to use their aura at their maximum potential while Limit Break goes over the maximum potential and goes all out on attack. I am indeed... looking forward for those two too. Sigh, so much work. Next please.
PhenioxMaster: Will Kirby go to other regions like Kanto,Johto and so on?
Pikachu564: I want to say yes... but-
Jude: He's to lazy to write that, so you're getting Unova and maybe Kalos too only, so don't expect Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, or Alola. Maybe he'll do summaries but that it.
Pikachu564: Ugh... what he said.
Lucky: All done.
Pikachu564: Just start the chapter.
Echo's Mind.
Echo and Fenrir were still in a dark room, playing on a chess board and Fenrir made his last move.
{Checkmate buddy.} Fenrir said. Echo gave a loud grunt and looked around the black room.
{This is boring.} He whined. Fenrir gave a soft chuckle while resetting the board.
{Maybe next time, don't try something so desperate.} He warned. Echo gave a small nod until the whole room was turned white all of a sudden.
{What happen?} Echo asked.
{Your friends must have stopped your rampage. You can wake up now Echo.} He responded. Echo got up, but thought about it.
{If I went on a rampage, did I hurt anyone?} Echo questioned. Fenrir scratch his head and turned around.
{You did Echo... but just pretent you don't know. If they tell you the truth, be surprise, if they lie to you, accept it. You'll already in physical pain, you don't need emotional pain either.} He warned. Echo sighed softly before walking towards a door and opened it.
Chapter 59: A Time to Relax.
Narrator: After stopping Echo's rampage, the group had made it to the ferry and are heading their way towards Virbank City to challenge the gym and gain their last Gym Badge. Ash and his friends decided to take a break from training while they were on the ferry while Kirby remained his room with Echo still asleep on his bed.
Kirby was staring at Echo quietly with Eva, Chepi, and Blade with him, remaining silent the whole time.
{Ugh... what's going on?} Echo groaned out. Everyone jumped up next to Echo and helped the Pikachu up.
"Oh Echo, thank Arceus you're okay." Kirby told him. Echo stared at his body and saw his right arm all bandaged up.
{What happened to me?} He asked. He remembers just him yelling Limit Break and the world going dark after that. Kirby just smiled and pet Echo.
{You went a little out of control during our training session, but its okay now.} Blade answered.
{Did I... hurt anyone?} He asked knowing the answer already. Kirby remained silent but, Eva shook her head.
{No Echo, but you really did hurt yourself.} She answered. Echo stared at her silently then back at his wounds.
{So... where are we?} He asked.
{We're at the ferry Echo, we're making our way to Virbank City to get our last Gym Badge.} Chepi responded.
{Really, so do we continue training?} He questioned.
{No, for now, we're going to relax until we get there. For now, everyone should take a break.} Kirby informed. Kirby took out Vi's device, switching Pokeballs and releasing the Pokemon. Kirby then grabbed his phone and dialed Vi.
"Hello?"
"Hey Vi, can Leon, Amber, Aqua, and Acer take a small break with us?" He asked.
"Of course, I'm a little busy right now with a... customer. Yea, customer. Leon and the other three can go with you, so have fun. Bye She confirmed and hanged up. Kirby was surprise how fast she hanged up, but got the last four Pokemon out.
"Leon, what Vi doing?" She asked. Leon stared at Kirby seriously and crossed his arms.
{She's handling a customer whose giving her a hard time, but we're not sure if its a customer anymore. So she's betting the hell out of him right now.} He explained. Everyone stared Leon quietly then at Kirby.
"Okay... we're going to relax for today guys, so do whatever you want to do, today is just another day off." Kirby told them. Everybody left the room ready to have fun except Kirby, who was staring at his box of elemental candy.

Blade/Rose: Taking a walk around the ferry.
Soak: Swimming in the sea.

Rammus: Just wanting to be alone to relax.
Zoey: Follow Rammus around
Ichiro: Meditate.
Sky: Fly around the area and enjoy the view.
Eva stared at Echo and walked up to him.
{What about you Echo, what are you going to do?} Eva asked. Echo turned around and stared at the ocean.
{I think... I think I'm just gonna stare at the sea... alone.} He answered and walked off. Everyone just stared at Echo confuse while Blade stared at him suspiciously. He jumped on the railing and began to look at the waving sea.
{So... what about you Eva, what are you going to do?} Sky asked. Eva looked at Sky and sighed down.
{I'm just gonna hang out with Pikachu and Snivy I guess.} She answered. Everybody gave each other a nod then split up one by one. Echo remained in the same place, looking back at his allies then released a small tear.
{They want to protect my feelings, but it hurts more when they lie to me.} Echo whispered.
Rammus and Zoey...
Rammus was trying to walk away from Zoey, but she continued to follow the fox persistent. He gave a sigh and turned to face her.
{Zoey, can you please leave me alone.} Rammus questioned. The Tricky Pokemon stared at him confuse and tilted her head.
{Why?} She asked.
{Because I've been spending my time with those god damn children and I'm extremely tired from that.} He replied. Zoey pouted, but got next to Rammus.
{But I want to be with you all the time Rammy.} She said. Rammus eye twitched and growled.
{Whatever, just follow m-} He was pumped aside by a Liepard, who got next to Zoey and smirked.
{Well, well, well, look what we have here. A beautiful, stunning fox right in front of me trying to take interest on this Herdier here instead of me.} He whispered next to her ear. Zorua gave a unpleasant smile while backing away from him.
{Oh, I'm flattered, but I'm going-}
{Aw don't go yet darling, we could have so much fun together.} He said. Rammus was growling silently, staring at the to Pokemon and saw the Liepard get next to her face. {It won't take long, just come with me and I'll show you a real good time.} He said. She felt uncomfortable around the Cruel Pokemon and looked towards Rammus. The Liepard followed her eyes and found the dog glaring at him. {Oh, is this your boyfriend?} He asked. Rammus just stared down the feline and saw him get closer. {He doesn't seem even interested in you. You can flirt with him all you want, or be him any time, but I bet he's doesn't love you the slightest.} He argued. Zoey smile turned to a frown and she felt slightly heartbroken. The cat continued to walk around Rammus until he got in front of his face. {Come on friend, no need to use Leer on me, just let me borrow your friend very quick for this one night. I promise I'll return her.} He begged. Rammus stared at Zoey and found her artful personality gone. She looked downhearted and had small amount of tears in her eyes. {So how about it, friend?} He said. Rammus narrowed his eyes at Liepard and he backed away with a smile. {Whoa, easy there pal, no need to use Leer on me.} He suggested.
{Are you seriously thinking that I'm Leering at you? Do you think I'm dumb? Do you think I'll ever hand over Zoey to some scum like you?!} Rammus yelled. The Liepard back up slowly with his sneering smile disappearing.
{So... is that a yes?} He questioned. Rammus suddenly pounced onto the cat, biting the back of his neck, then threw him across the hall. The cat got up and looked towards Zoey, who was letting tears escape her eyes, then at the dog, who was aggressively growling.
{Trust me, this will not end pretty for you if you don't leave right now..} He warned with his eyes turning bright yellow. Liepard didn't argue back and quickly ran away from the area. Rammus gave a loud grunt turning his eyes back to normal and walked up to Zoey. {Zoey, please stop crying.} He begged.
{Is it true what he said Rammus? Is it true that you don't love me?} She asked. Rammus was puzzled at the questioned and sat next to her.
{Why do you think that?} He asked.
{Because I have never heard you say you love me once the whole time we were together.} She answered. Rammus remained silent and heard her weeping silently. He got close to her face and surprise her.
{Zoey, you may be tricky, cunning, and annoying with your flirting, but I'll never leave your side as long as I live.} He replied. Zoey was blushing lightly while staring into his eyes.
{Why?} She asked. Rammus simply snickered and looked at her wholehearted.
{Because I really do love you Zoey, no matter what.} He admitted. Zoey remained shock at his confession while he just moved away from her face and continued to walk. {Come on, lets go relax somewhere else I guess. I get the feeling that Liepard is gonna come back.} He suggested. Zoey remained frozen still and Rammus gave a silent grunt and picked her up. {May have shocked her a bit too much.} He whispered and walked away from the area.
Leon/Amber/Aqua/Acer/Chepi...
Leon just stared at the three Pokemon playing around while Chepi was sitting next to him with her hair all messed up.
{How do you handle them Leon?} She asked while grooming herself. He remained staring at the three Pokémon carefully then smacked his lips.
{It's my responsibility now to take care of them. If I don't, then who will?} He questioned. Chepi was quiet, but heard small chuckle from Leon. {And besides, it's kinda fun watching them play. Makes me feel happy to see them have a great time with each other.} He added. Chepi stared at the Watchog and while the small kids were pushing against each other.
{What do you mean?} She interrogated.
{Never mind that, come on, we have to stop another fight.} He warned. Chepi gave another groaned and stood up.
{Great.} She said and followed the Watchog.
Blade and Rose (And Ivy in the shadows.)
Both were walking together on the hall with Ivy close behind. Blade remained quiet while Rose was getting worried.
{Something wrong Blade?} She asked.
{There are two thing, one I'm gonna keep to myself while the other is if should I tell Ivy that we're partners already and I'm not available anymore?} He questioned. A loud bump was heard behind them and both turned around to find Ivy on the ground.
{What do you mean you're already partners?} She asked.
{I mean, we're gonna be together for the rest of our lives... as partners.} He informed while looking away. Ivy narrowed her eyes and pouted.
{So... why don't you say you're mate now then?} She asked. Both Pokemon suddenly turned extremely red and backed away from the Chikorita.
{I... I can't say that. I can barely say we're in a relationship} Blade whispered. Rose covered her mouth and laughed a little while Ivy remained quiet.
{No... this can't be happening.} She quietly said. Both Pokemon saw her with tears in her eyes then saw her run away. Rose was about to go after her, but Blade put his vine in front of her.
{If you're going to chase after her, do you mind if I deal with something.} He asked. She shook her head and both Pokemon walked different direction.
Ichiro...
The otter was sitting quietly on the roof of the boat with a small amount of aura radiating off of him. He had his eyes closed and was humming to himself quietly. A small shadow was staring at him and Ichiro grunted.
{Come out Kindle, I know you're right there.} Ichiro called out. The fire mouse got on the roof and smile.
{Was I that noticeable or did you notice me with your aura?} She asked. Ichiro stood up and stared at the Cyndaquil.
{With aura of course.} He answered, but glared at the her. {Shouldn't you be relaxing by yourself or be with your boyfriend, Pignite?} He asked. She laughed silently and walked past him.
{Walking around is relaxing Ichiro, and Pignite is training for the upcoming gym battle.} She answered. He stared at her suspicious reaching for his scalchop quietly.
{What do you want?} He asked. She stopped moving.
{I want to know how I can become a Aura Pokemon like you and Echo.} She answered. Ichiro eyes widened, dropping his hand down.
{You want to become a Aura Pokemon?} He asked. Kindle nodded, but Ichiro shook his head and turned around.
{It's not possible without having a Aura Guardian as a trainer to unlock it like me and Elize, or not being being a descendant of a Aura Pokemon, like Echo.} He answered. {Besides, controlling aura take years to practice and it's dangerous.} He warned.
{Oh, you mean like when you made Echo go on rampage? Is that dangerous?} She asked. Ichiro glared at her and pointed his scalchop towards her.
{I know you were born a couple months ago, but you should learn when to shut up Kindle.} He warned. The fire mouse laughed at his threat and stared at him.
{And you should work on your threats Ichiro. Besides, its still possible for me to beat you.} She argued. Ichiro narrowed his eyes while forming Razor Shell slowly.
{You do know I'm a Water-Type and have the capability to use aura, so I have the advantage against you.} He said. Kindle shook her head and smirk.
{And you do know that type advantage doesn't matter here, we're not in a video game, but what scares me the most is that you rely on aura too much. Can you win a battle without using a single bit of aura?} She asked. Her answer was Ichiro disappearing from his spot and appeared in front of her with his blade ready.
{Razor Shell!} He yelled. He slashed in front of him, but his eyes widen when he saw her duck the attack.
{Fire Spin.} She whispered and Ichiro was suddenly surrounded by a fire ring. He was pushed away from the mouse and back to his original spot. He stared at the Cyndaquil and the energy around his shell went null.
{How?} He asked. The mouse frowned at his questioned.
{Aren't you going to try again?} She questioned.
{The moment you avoid my first attack is a sign that I would have been defeated if I continued.} He answered. Kindle giggled at the response and turned around.
{Good answered... maybe, and to answer your question, it was obvious that you would attack me from above, so I just ducked to avoid it.} She answered. Ichiro just remained silent and grinned.
{You may be young, but you really are intelligent.} He complimented.
{Well, I learned from the best Pokemon in Kirby's team, Eva.} She said and jumped off the roof back down the hallway. Ichiro remained quiet then looked at his scalchop and grunted.
{She's right. I rely to much on my Aura and I need to practice my Pokemon moves more than my Aura.} He whispered to himself and grabbed his shell. [Time to train physicality I guess.] He thought and started to slash the air swiftly.
Ivy and Rose...
Ivy was crying by herself in a secluded part of the boat with her large leaf covering her left eye. Rose was approaching the depressed Pokemon, but saw here lift her head and try to walk away again.
{Ivy, please. We have to talk about this.} She pleaded. The Leaf Pokemon stood still while Rose approached slowly to her.
{It's not fair...} She whispered. Rose stopped and saw her turned around. She saw the Chikorita stare at her with tears running down her cheek and a downhearted look. She stared at the Pokemon unsure on what to do. {Why did he pick you? Am I not good enough for him?} She questioned. Rose got closer and was next to her. {Am I-} ivy was stopped talking when Rose suddenly hugged the Johto Starter and had her silent.
{Its okay Ivy. Its okay.} Rose could simply say. Ivy just gave a loud yell of frustration and cried in Rose's shoulder.
Echo...
The Pikachu was off the railing, punching the air with his left paw surrounded with Aura and Electricity.
[Stop Echo, you're going to end up hurting yourself.] Fenrir advised. Echo grunted at the warning and shook his head.
{I'm going to keep going.} He whispered and stared at his right paw. He took off the cast and surrounded it in Aura.
[Echo, don't you dare.] Fenrir warned. Echo surrounded himself in aura in growled.
{Max Aura!} He yelled and exploded with aura energy. He looked at his right paw and surrounded them with electricity then aura. {Electro Punch!} He yelled and tried to punch the air, but the aura died down and only release electric waves. Echo felt a large amount of pain from his arm. He sat down holding his right arm tightly and gritting his teeth. He stood up up again holding his arm and surrounded it with electricity and aura again. {Electro Punch!} He tried again, but it was the same result. He closed his eyes and felt the pain more unbearable. He heard Fenrir laugh lightly and he opened his left eye. {Deactivate Max Aura!} He yelled and the aura around him disappeared.
[If you keep this up, your arm won't recover for a whole month, so I suggest you stop.] He informed. Echo stood up and looked over the sea.
{How do I master Max Aura? I need to know now! I don't want to hurt my friends again!} He yelled.
[Easy pal. Max Aura is gonna take awhile to master.] He warned.
{But-}
[Just because I used it in your body doesn't mean anything Echo. I mastered the technique, but you haven't.] He argued. Echo looked down ad growled.
{Then... how can I master it?} He asked. Fenrir sighed out.
[It won't be easy, but it'll take about a week for you to master it after you heal, but under no circumstances, will you ever go Limit Break. Until you master Max Aura, you can start practicing the technique and make your own unique Aura.] Fenrir warned. Echo nodded and felt his other half smile. [Good, now put that cast back on. Your arm will need to recover for now.] He warned. Echo lowered his head while putting the cast back on.
{Guess this means I won't be able to participate in the last gym.} He whispered. Fenrir laughed a bit and aura surrounded his right arm.
[Maybe you can. I been practicing a new aura power but it still needs work. Aura Heal.] Fenrir said. The aura around his right arm turned bright yellow and small butterflies came out.
{This is amazing.} Echo whispered.
[Its gonna take one day to fully restore your arm, but I won't be able to use this technique until next week.] He informed. Echo gave a nod and looked up.
{That's fine. Now I have one last problem.} He mumbled.
{And that's us lying to you.} Someone said. Echo turned around to face Blade with a worried look. {Are you okay Echo?} Blade asked. The Pikachu remained silent then shook his head.
{No. Out of anything, I don't think I'll be okay.} He said.
{Echo, you need to understand that we wanted to protect your feelings.} Blade told him.
{But I hate it when you guys lied about the fact that I hurt everyone.} Echo uttered. Blade gave him a strange look.
{How do you know about that?} He asked,
{Fenrir told me, but said I just accept the lie instead of telling them the truth.} He whispered. Blade smacked his lips at the mention of Fenrir and got out his Vine Whips. He stroked Echo's head slowly.
{Echo, I'm sorry. We should have told you the truth, but we thought you would be hurt to know that you harmed us.} He said. Echo put a sincere smile.
{True.} Echo just stared at Blade and walked towards him. {Thanks Blade, I knew I could rely on you,} He gratitude. Blade just continue to pet the Pikachu and stared at the orange sunset sky. Echo did the same and felt Blade vines left him alone. He looked at Blade and saw him walking away.
{We should go back, its starting to get late.} Blade informed. The Pikachu was about to follow him when he felt a large amount of pressure surround his body and his cheeks sparked wildly for a second before it stopped. He looked around for awhile then shrugged it off and ran after Blade.
After the whole day, Kirby's Pokemon gathered back together and Kirby transferred some of them back to Vi's place. Everyone was asleep except Kirby.
Kirby was on his bed looking at the window silently and with his badge case out. He looked down at the badges then closed the case.
"One more badge. Then I'll be able to participate in the Unova League." He quietly said. He looked back at his Pokemon and smiled, "I hope I don't let you guys down. All this hard work would be for nothing if we lose now." He added. He got back on his bed and fell asleep quickly.
Pikachu564: Follow, Favorite, and Review Please. Everyone left to do something else so the closing is short for this reason.
