Chapter 9

Ruby, Blake, and Weiss caught their pokemon and made their way towards the judges and present their pokemon. Ruby caught the Sewaddle, Stringer, and a Fletchling, who she named Qrow, after her uncle. Blake caught a female Frillish while fishing (which she tries to eat but went through since it is part ghost-type) and a Scatterbug. Blake caught the Heracross, Xiao, and a Swirlix, who she named Candy. Weiss hasn't shown up yet and the contest is coming towards a close. "Ladies and gentlemen!" the announcer says over the microphone, "The competition is almost over. Please hurry and report back to the judges with your pokemon." As the competition is coming towards a close; Ruby and Yang are standing on stage because they received the most points for catching pokemon that are rare in the park along with Tierno, who caught a Swablu. 'Where is Weiss?' Ruby thought to herself as the judges look at the pokemon.

Yang's Judging:

Conor: "Quite the catch there. Heracross' exoskeleton shines like a glistening jewel. And that horn is sharper than the five-star stainless steel fork of my favorite restaurant!"

Nurse Joy: "Not to mention that its strong judging by the arms and the look in its eyes."

Blanche: "Wee, madame Joy and monsieur Conor. This is quite the specimen we have here."

Tierno's Judging:

Conor: "Look at those wings! They are as magnificent as midsummer clouds with the blue coloring!"

Blanche: "Indeed! And that cute look it possess makes me melt like butter!"

Nurse Joy: "Swablu is definitely the perfect picture of health!"

Ruby's Judging:

Blanche: "My, such an interesting little Sewaddle. Such a beautiful coloration."

Conor: "Indeed mademoiselle Blanche! Such a beauty of a bug-type. Not to mention, the wonderful leaf clothes it has."

Nurse Joy: "I have to agree! This Sewaddle must be in peak-top condition for it to have such things."

The judges try to decide which pokemon is the best and who will be the winner. As the contest comes to a close, Weiss then came running while screaming, "WAIT! WAAAAIIIT!" The judges stop their conversation as everyone looked to see the panting girl in white. "I have...*pant, pant* two pokemon...*pant, pant*...I would like you to see." She pulled out her two sports balls, "Allow me to introduce you to...Billy & Tilly!" Weiss threw them up in the air and not one, but two Eevee came out. Not just any Eevee, they are shiny. Everyone, including the judges, are gasping in total awe to not just seeing one but two shiny pokemon that are rare to the park.

"WE HAVE A WINNER!" Conor shouted at the top of his lungs. Nurse Joy and Conor are in total agreement. "Weiss is the winner of the competition with her two shiny Eevees!" The crowd cheered for Weiss' victory. "Who thought that our Ice Queen can win this." Yang says to Ruby. But Ruby was too distracted and admiring the cute and adorable Eevees and really wants to pet them. So she pulled out her megadex and learned what they are. "Eevee. The evolution pokemon. Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives. Radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve. Current studies show it can evolve into an any different species of Pokémon."

The announcer gave Weiss her prize: A full set of evolution stones along with a mossy rock, a frozen rock, a lunar ribbon, a sun ribbon, and a pretty ribbon. Not to mention a hundred thousand pokedollars. For Ruby, who won second place, she got a super rod and fifty thousand pokedollars. As for Yang, who won third, got a muscle band and twenty-five thousand. Which later, Yang gave to her Xiao.

When Weiss was being congratulated, a huge explosion was heard close to the competition site. "What was that?!" Ruby shouted, facing the direction of the smoke. Team RWBY immediately mobilize after recalling their new pokemon.

When they reach the source of the explosion, they find three groups of people fighting each other. Each side is wearing worn out and tattered matching uniforms and use a variety of dark/poison-type pokemon. On one side is Team Flare, a villainous team that whats to make a beautiful and better world. Yet now they are a mockery of their former selves with chipped and cracked glasses, many tears on their uniforms that have been patched up, and their belts rusted. On the other side is Team Galactic, another villainous team that doesn't want to recreate the world, but the universe. Now they are shadows with some of their sleeves torn off, hair all messy, and some have bandages over their uniforms. The last is Team Skull. Still being the ruffians yet nothing more than a nuisance.

"Yo daaawwwg!" one of the Team Skull grunts say, "Why are you all up in our turf?!" "You stay out of this!" one of the members of Team Flare angrily shouted, "This is between us and Team Galactic!" "Ha-ha-ha!" one of the Team Galactic grunts laughed, "Making the world beautiful is nothing more than a dumb fairytale!" He insults Team Flare and their beliefs. "And creating a new one isn't!" one of the Team Flare grunt shouts back, "That is nothing more than science fiction! Besides, I heard your leader abandon you so he can have his new world all to himself! He said you guys are poison!" The leader of the small gang of Team Galactic started to grind his teeth and squeezing his pokeball. Hearing such things was hitting below the belt. Then he started to smirk, "Oh yeah! That's what Lysandre thought of you guys!"

Now things are starting to get intense. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT! GO! FOR CREATING A MORE BEAUTIFUL WORLD!" "GO! FOR OUR NEW WORLD!" "NO WAY YOU'RE LEAVING US OUT!" All three factions then started fighting as the sun sets over the horizon. Many strong and powerful moves are being use admist the chaos over the clearing. "Who are they?!" Ruby shouted as the sound of explosions, roars, and a variety of attacks are heard. "I don't know!" Blake shouted, "But we have to stop this!" "Like how?!" Weiss shouted, having no idea have to deal with such heavy fighting. Then out of nowhere, a large snow storm blew in and started freezing all the non fire-type pokemon, which can use their fire-type moves to break through the ice, and the people fighting. Then something was moving at blinding pace and took out the fire-type pokemon.

As the snowfall stops, they see a trainer dressed in a leathery poncho, cowboy boots with spurs, rusted metal armor leggings, a strange black glove with a strange stone on the back of the hand and a strange bracelet with diamond shape different colored gems. The figure was wearing a hood over his head so they can't see his face. But what is most peculiar is a pokemon that looks like a white fox with nine tails. Ruby pulled up her megadex to see what pokemon is it. "Ninetales. The fox pokemon. This is the Alolan variant of this pokemon so it is an ice-type. It creates drops of ice in its coat and showers them over its enemies. Anyone who angers it will be frozen stiff in an instant. Possessing a calm demeanor, this Pokémon was revered as a deity incarnate before it was identified as a regional variant of Ninetales. It is said to live for 1,000 years." "Wooooww!" Ruby went as she, and the others, are stun by this pokemon's beauty.

However, one Team Skull grunt didn't froze. "Who are you...?" he said as the figure turns around. "Missed one. I must be loosing my touch." the figure says in an unamused tone as he calls back his Ninetails. Then the grunt unleashed his Spinarak. "Who are you, really?" he says but with a hint of fear in his voice. Then the hooded figure then unleashed his Sableye. The hooded figure then shows something on his left arm, "Do you know what these are?" The grunt got a good look and his eyes widen as he recognize the stuff on his hand. "Are those..." "GO! Z-MOVE!" His Z-Ring spun and started to glow while it landed on the Darkinium Z. The figure then did some sort of dance and then yell, "Black Hole Eclipse!" "No. No! NOOOOOOO!"

The Sableye quickly dispatched the Spinarak using the Z-Move and knocked out the grunt as well. "As for my name," he removed his hood to reveal his shaggy brown hair and green eyes, "my name is Franklin."

Not too far, someone is hiding behind a tree spying on the events. A young man with brown eyes, and light brown, spiky hair. He is also wearing a black undershirt with a green vest, purple pants, a yin/yang necklace, and brown boots with black straps encircling them. "So I finally found you." the young man says to himself as he gives off a sinister smirk, "Things just got interesting."
