Alrighty! Thanks everyone for waiting, as you can tell, the next chapters are going to be intense since a lot is happening to the students and the academy. I want you guys to know that these flashbacks I do are because they somehow will make sense and bring a connection to the plot later on, it may not be now, but you will know later on, That's why if you're wondering why there are several different flashbacks then that's the reason for it. Also, not all the characters show up in this chapter but the ones who didn't will come out in the next, I promise you that, I'm just still writing out there battles and sequences. I really appreciate all the reviews and ideas you are all giving me and I'm totally loving them! They're all so creative! So if you have any more then feel free to share with me please. Enough ranting, hope you guys enjoy!
(Years ago)
"Do you have any kids?"
"We do".
"How many?"
"Just one…...but he is not quite what we imagined…..". His wife frowned at his answer.
"He's studying abroad, a bright child he is, and one who needs to be prepared for big things ahead of him, his future is bright, but….I do miss being a mother, and I recently discovered that I can't have anymore children, so we figured adoption is the way to go".
She gave them a weary chuckle, now leading through the facility where they saw several children playing outside, "Well…..well we have so many amazing kids residing in our orphanage, ambitious, well mannered, playful, they bring life to our center".
"A-are you interested in a girl, or boy?"
"A girl would be nice". Cooed the woman.
Her husband shook his head, "I prefer a boy".
"How old is your son?" Asked the director of the orphanage.
"He's seven". They answered together.
"I see…..U-uh, well what age are you more comfortable adopting towards?"
He folded his arms, carrying a hard expression to the director who was growing more intimidated, "Six or seven, I want him to be close to my son's age so they can learn off each other".
She led them out to the backyard where the field was crowded with kids playing with one another, "Most of the kids we have are around 5 or younger or 10 and older, except for one that is".
"Oh?" Asked the woman, immediately being startled when she heard a cry.
"No! Stop it!"
"Give it to me!"
"No! It's mine!"
"Well I want it!"
"Oh dear! What's going on?" They had noticed a group of kids huddled tightly together, being the source of all the screaming.
They quickly rushed over, "Children! What's going on?!"
Most of them had fled, leaving only a few to reveal who were hitting and beating a boy who was on the floor curled up, holding onto an egg protectively.
She gasped, immediately kneeling down where she grazed her hand over the wounded boys head, he was trembling, crying silently as he still remained curled up, "Oh no…...A-are you ok sweetie?"
"Who might this be?" Asked the man, unaffected by all that had happened.
The director sighed, holding onto two of the boys by there ears who were his attackers, "This young boy was recently brought to our facility only a month ago, he's the only seven year old we have in the orphanage, his parents were ranger's who unfortunately died during a mission".
"How sad". Frowned the lady, still grazing her hand over the boy's head to soothe him down.
"May we?" He asked, gesturing if he and his wife could talk to the young boy.
"Of course". She nodded, dragging both boys away who began crying.
"It's ok now…..they're gone, you're safe". She cooed in a mellow tone, he slowly sat up, still holding his egg in a protective manner.
"T-thank you". he murmured, quickly looking down at the egg and hiding his face.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Hector". Replied the young boy, unable to face them.
"Is that egg important to you?" She asked, holding a soft smile in order to start a mild conversation.
He nodded, "M-my parents gave me this egg….right before they died…..it's the only thing I have of them…" she noticed tiny drops of water falling over the egg, noting them to be tears.
She looked up at her husband who shifted his eyes back at her as well, giving him that look of desperation and sorrow, as if saying she wanted to take him.
"Say Hector…" his head slowly turned up, now facing the older man who had a firm look on his face.
"...How would you like to come home with us?"
~~~Several Days later~~~
"Thank you". He shook hands with the director, talking with her as his wife began walking down the stairs with Harvey on hand.
"Isn't this exciting?! Oh I can't wait for you to see your room! I decorated it just like your older brothers!"
He stopped, sparking his new mother to also stop when she felt he wasn't moving, "O-older brother?"
She nodded, "That's right, he's only a few months older than you".
"W-where is he?"
A hesitant giggle had escaped the older woman's lips, "Um….well, he's currently staying with his uncle for private training lessons".
"Where at?" He was becoming more curious, wondering why she was so hesitant and nervous about the topic.
"It's a place called the Dragon's den….it's really scary and dangerous".
"If it's dangerous…..why did he go there?"
He felt her tighten her grip on his hand, hearing a small whisper which seemed to come out as this, "B-because he needs to be one with dragons…..for the sake of the family".
~~~~~~Five years later~~~~~
He stared down at his plate, looking over at his mom and dad who were being served their meals by the maid, his eyes then shifted to the empty chair across from him.
"Mom, dad, Why haven't I met my brother?"
He flinched when he heard the clanking of their forks dropping, he coughed, now wiping his mouth as she took a large gulp of her drink, "W-what's this about Hector?" She chuckled.
He frowned, "It's been five years since I came here….and I still haven't met him, the last time you talked about him, you said he was training with his uncle at a place called the Dragon's den, where is that at?"
He became nervous when his dad's cold eyes settled onto him,"It's a restricted area where only several members of our clan are allowed to enter, your brother still remains there and will do so until he proves himself to the family and to the dragons".
"Will you tell me his name then?"
He quickly noticed how both of his parent's exchanged glances, "When the time comes, you will know who he is, that is all I can say". He watched as his dad got up, refusing to eat anymore as he left the dining hall.
It was just him and his mom, "Why can't I see him…...I hear stories from other family members who talk about how strong he is, that he has potential…..so then why does it seem like he's being imprisoned?"
She sighed, "Our family has always been one of the top three dominating branches in the Dragon clan, your father isn't getting any younger and your brother is set to take over as his successor…...however, he doesn't have the same passion for dragon's as the rest of us…..in fact, he hates them, but your father refuses to accept it and has forced your brother to live and train inside the Dragon's den with your uncle Lance, at least until he finally accepts his fate as the next heir…...it's difficult…..but he feels this is the only choice he has".
He felt conflicted by everything he heard, now having one question in mind, "Why did you adopt me?"
"What?" She looked at him, surprised more so at his question.
"Why did you adopt me, you have a son already….so why am I here?"
Did he want to hear the answer? Yes. Was he prepared to hear the worst? No, but he had to be.
He was snapped back into reality when he felt the warmth of her hand over his, a genuine soft smile was curved up onto her lips, "You are my son Hector…...I haven't seen your brother in years and your father refuses to let me see him, I missed being a mother….and when I first saw you, you reminded me so much of him, those eyes of burning passion and determination, you both have it…... I love you both very much, and I never want you to think that your adoption was for anything more than love".
~~~~~Dragon's Den~~~~~
"What do you think?" Asked the red headed man taking a seat in front of the shrine and residing next to the brunette who also sat down.
He sighed, "I think you wasted your time….no matter what, I can't be who my father wants me to be".
A chuckled escaped Lance's mouth, "I knew it from the first day, but I owed it to your father, and my baby brother, to try at least".
"So…..how is he? Is my mom happy with him around?"
"Are you talking about your adopted brother? Yeah….your mom seems really happy, she certainly doesn't cry everyday now, but she still does once in awhile".
A tiny smile formed on the boy's lips, "Just as long as mom isn't suffering anymore, I'm fine being replaced".
Lance frowned, "You're not being replaced, he's your brother now, he was able to bring life back into the household after it was taken when your father ordered me to bring you here".
"Regardless…...he's going to be my replacement once I leave".
"What do you-" He was cut off by a cold voice.
"Have you made your decision?" They looked up, seeing his dad making his way over to them.
"I have".
"What is it?" A smirk formed on his lips as he was confident in his son's answer.
"I'm going to be the best fire tamer in the world".
"What!"
He stood up, "You can keep me in here for an eternity dad, but it will never change the fact that I hate dragon's, I can't be your successor, so find someone else…..or better yet, get your new son to take over, I hear he's amazing".
Lance watched him walk past his father, smiling quietly to himself as his brother kept yelling after him.
"Get back here!"
"It's been fun uncle Lance". He gave him a quick wave , not bothering to look back as he took off.
A smirk formed on his lips as he came out under the sunlight, something he hadn't seen in years, but even more so, he enjoyed hearing the loud echo of his name being shouted out by his father.
"Harvey!"
(Yun/Michael)
A sniveling grin crept over her lips, "Foolish boys, do you really think you can beat me even if it's two against one?"
Michael pulled out a pokeball, being stopped by Yun who grabbed his wrist and lowered his hand down, "Yun?"
"Leave this battle to me".
"Are you crazy?! That's three gyarados you're going up against!"
His eyes became cold, automatically shutting Michael down, "So?"
"I'm your trump card! I have to stay by your side and fight! No matter what!"
He held up his hand, showing the Joker the three pokeballs placed in between his fingers, he rolled one of them down his sleeve, "I'm only battling with two, when you feel I am struggling in this fight, feel free to join in, until then, just watch".
Nothing came out of his mouth, just a nod he gave as he complied with the King's order, he tightened his grip on the pokeball in his hand, watching anxiously as the three serpents continuously circled around them.
A devious giggle escaped her lips, "So are we going to battle, or have you already regretted going against me".
"Intimidation won't work on me lady". He threw both pokeballs into the air, standing idly by as both pokemon appeared protectively in front.
"Gengar!"
"Espeon!"
"Espe-!" She flinched, nearly bending down on her knees while looking over at Gengar who stuck it's tongue out.
She began laughing, unable to control herself as Michael watched also, this time in confusion, "And just when I was about to take this battle seriously!"
"You still should". Her laugh was withering little by little.
He shoved one hand in his pocket, shooting the other forward, "Trick room Espeon".
"Speon!" The red gem on it's head released a blinding blue light, creating a blue transparent rectangular prison which they were now trapped in.
"You do realize that with this move, my pokemon who are much slower, will now be faster". She chuckled in amusement, striking her hand up.
"Triple Hyperbeam!"
They circled around both his pokemon, releasing a trio of dark energy blasts onto the center where they were, creating a heavy cloud of smoke to block their vision.
Michael kept coughing, "E-espeon! G-gengar!"
"That should take care of-" her grin dropped when she saw both pokemon still standing, completely unharmed.
She froze when she came into contact with his cold gaze, "Stupid woman, I would have thought you'd know better than to fire a normal attack on my ghost pokemon".
"B-but then what about your Espeon!"
The psychic pokemon had exploded, revealing itself to be a substitute puppet, "I-impossible! How!"
"There's a little something you should know about my pokemon".
She took a step backwards, forcing a smug like smile on her lips, "W-what's that", She demanded.
Michael stared over at Yun, also wanting to know what he meant by that, "My team will execute the unexpected, they are not your typical pokemon, when I summoned my Gengar, it immediately knew to use gravity on itself and on Espeon, forcing their speed to be cut down to almost nothing, but when trick room was activated, there speed tripled more than what it normally is".
He quickly caught on, realizing Yun's plan the entire time, "Meaning…..they are even more faster than they were before compared to Gyarados now".
A smirk followed on the King's mouth, "Exactly".
"What!" She quickly looked up, seeing Espeon reveal itself from above.
"Thunderbolt Gengar!"
It released a dastardly amount of electricity from its body, sending it straight over to the Gyarados trio.
"Psychic!" He ordered, watching with a smirk as Espeon took control of thunderbolt, commanding it to engulf the three pokemon inside an electric sphere, forcing them to take on shock after shock.
"Break free!" She shouted, grinding her teeth together when they began screeching from the burning heat of the sphere and friction caused by all the sparks crossing one another.
"Gyarados!" They had split apart, releasing themselves from Espeon's control.
"Flamethrower! Hydro pump! Twister!"
Michael flinched from the roars, covering his ears up as he watched in a baffled expression at how quickly the three joined their attacks, creating a deadly fire and water cyclone towards Gengar and Espeon.
"Stop it". He swiped his arm across, remaining calm when his Espeon stopped the twister from getting any closer, she sent it right back, hitting all three pokemon who were sent crashing against the wall.
"Calm mind Espeon".
"Gengar, use focus blast".
Her eyes had closed while the red gem on her forehead began blinking rapidly, purple waves of energy were being absorbed into the psychic type, meanwhile, Gengar had gone forward, shaping itself into a slithering shadow only to rise back up underneath one of its opponent's where it fired a beam of red energy directly onto it.
"Gyarados!" It screeched.
"Double Dragon pulse!" She snapped.
They released twin blasts of blue energy shaped like dragons, hitting Gengar head on who was sent racing across the field and towards the wall.
"Iron tail on Espeon!" One of them had raced over to the psychic type, swinging it's tail across which was now glowing with a silver light.
It remained still, leaving Michael nervous who couldn't hold back, "Watch out!" He blurted.
"Go". ordered Yun, holding his hand out to where Espeon quickly disappeared in only seconds.
"What the-". It missed the eeveelution, now looking around with the other two for it, Gengar was also nowhere in sight.
"Psyshock!"
A colorful beam of light shot down on the three pokemon who broke free of it, Espeon now revealed itself, jumping from one Gyarados onto another to distract them.
"After it!" She shouted, getting more irritated by Yun's 'games'.
They were knocking against each other in an effort to grab Espeon who kept jumping all around, "Alright Gengar! Do it!"
A shadow slithered across the walls and then around the ceiling where Gengar popped out, "Dark pulse!"
A giant black sphere appeared in between it's palms, unleashing a powerful and deadly beam of dark energy onto the three gyarados who were thrown back, screeching from the direct hit.
"Use surf together!" Three cyclones of water had surrounded the serpents, exploding and flooding the entire field with water swaying in rough waves.
"Espeon!" It was swept along with Gengar who both tried escaping, but couldn't due to the roughness of the water's movement.
"Twister!" She ordered, laughing when they whipped up a triple twister to combine and create a deadly whirlpool, dragging along both of his pokemon who were sinking further into the water.
"Yun, I'm stepping i-". He held his pokeball out, stopping when the King interrupted him.
"Psychic!"
Everything had stopped, the whirlpool stood in place and so did every little drop of water, regardless if it was in the air, or on the ground, it's as if time had stopped in front of them.
"T-that can't be". She seemed frightened by the entire scene, now stepping back against the wall and staring at Yun whose icy leer pierced directly into her.
"Amazing". Michael breathed out.
"Future sight!"
A beam of dark blue light shot up, splitting itself into five wormholes, "Get rid of it".
"Espeon!" All of the water began swerving, now moving under Espeon's command where it had sent every last drop towards the five portals, closing it down and leaving both his opponent and Michael speechless.
He turned his head slightly, gazing at Michael from the corner of his eye, "Do you still want to step in?"
Nothing came out of his mouth, he didn't know what to say, all he could do was just slowly hide his pokeball beneath his shaking palm and watch.
(Dakota/Anastasia)
"Use shadow ball!" It released a powerful sphere of dark energy towards Gengar.
"Use Shadow ball as well!" It did the same, leaving Dakota nervous as both attacks collided, clashing and exploding together in mid air.
"Use foul play Gengar!" Dozens of shadow wisps rose up from the ground, coiling themselves around Mismagius who was being repeatedly whipped back and forth.
"Dark pulse!" He smirked as Dakota watched in horror when her pokemon was struck with a dark beam of energy, still being held up by the shadows who continuously inflicted pain on the ghost pokemon.
Her fists tightened, "Use magical leaf"!
It's eyes began glowing in several shades, almost like a rainbow, hundreds of petals had appeared around Mismagius, spinning rapidly and engulfing her in what seemed like a vortex or petals which were slicing through the shadows, however, more were growing and coming back.
"Follow it with will-o-wisp!" She shouted, ignoring the rapid beating of her heart when a halo of blue fire appeared above the ghost pokemon, combining itself with magical leaf to create a burning vortex of petals, destroying every shadow on the field and freeing Mismagius.
"Impressive, but you still can't beat me little girl! Use Shadow punch!"
It sunk into the ground, disappearing from eye sight and reappearing underneath Mismagius who was struck directly, sending her racing upwards.
"I'm not a little girl! Now Mismagius! Power gem!"
It froze, the crystals around it's neck began glowing, specks of light began showering around the ghost type, taking on the form of blade like dark crystals which were fastly brought down onto the field, slicing through Gengar who hissed as each stone pierced into it.
"Shadow sneak!" It sunk into the ground, becoming a mere shadow.
"I'm not letting you get away with that again! Go mismagius!" She also sunk into the ground, being just a slithering shadow which went chasing after Gengar.
"Wow….." mumbled Anastasia, weakly holding on, yet amazed at the incredible sight of two shadows clashing across the ground, swerving around each other and then clashing while separating and coming back to collide once more.
"Shadow claw!" He growled, growing frustrated as his pokemon kept butting with Mismagius.
Dakota gasped when she saw Mismagius being thrown up from underneath, revealing itself as Gengar had forced it out of it's shadow form, striking her once more with the sharp dark claws it had grown in its possession.
"Mis-mismagius!"
"Sucker punch!" He shouted, laughing at Dakota's frightful expression when his Gengar threw Mismagius up into the air, it was too quick to be seen, striking the ghost type from every direction, all that was seen was Mismagius jolting back and forth and a dark flash appearing in every direction.
"Dodge it!" She screamed, flinching when she heard her opponent laugh.
"It's pointless! My gengar is far too strong for a pipsqueak such as yourself!"
"N-no…...No! Mismagius!" It gave one final punch to Mismagius from behind, sending it racing straight into the ground which had collapsed from the intense force.
"Mismagius!" She cried, staring at her pokemon who shakily got back up, almost at its brink.
*What do I do…...Celebrant….Luciana…...everyone…..please…..*
(Mercy/ Russell)
*Boom*
The wall had collapsed as two large figures raced out, soaring straight into the sky as what seemed like a chase.
"Don't let go!" Shouted Mercy, grabbing Russell's arms and pulling them around her waist where she made sure he tightened his grip on it.
"A-are you crazy!" He looked back, not wanting her to see the bright red color on his face, his eyes shot open when he saw the masked man on his Aerodactyl catching up to them.
"He's gaining on us!" Shouted Russell.
"Go Noivern!" She forced it to quickly turn around, remaining still as she pointed forward.
"Use boomburst!"
It screeched out ravenously, releasing a powerful blast of clear sound waves towards their opponent.
"Dodge it!" He shouted, having his pokemon quickly soar in a sideways manner in order to evade the attack.
"Is this the way you mean?" He growled.
A cringing smile formed on her lips, "Of course, if you want to take us both, then you sure as hell better make sure you beat me in a sky battle first".
"I didn't agree to this!" Barked Russell, hissing when the burning sensation returned.
"Alright then, I'll play this little game of yours, and I'll win".
His Aerodactyl came shooting directly towards Noivern, "Go!" She shouted, commanding it to soar further up into the sky, startling Russell who was now gripping her tighter than before.
"You can't escape me!" He shouted, still a bit behind from Russell and Mercy whose Noivern was too fast.
"Stone edge!" Growled it's trainer, a ring of stones had appeared around the ancient pokemon, it fired them after Noivern who was soaring from side to side, avoiding each daggered stone.
"Show them your reversal dragon pulse!" She ordered.
"Noivern!" It screeched, flapping it's wings backwards while still going up, releasing a powerful blue dragon like essence to shoot down on it's opponent.
"Steel wing right through it!"
It's wings had turned into steel with a blinding glow, now soaring in a diagonal manner and shooting straight through the dragon attack, destroying it in one clean slice.
"No way!" Gaped Russell, terrifyingly shocked to see how easily he took on her move.
"We have to lose him!" Exclaimed Mercy, directing Noivern to do several loops and pick up more speed.
"I think I'm going to throw up!" Cried Russell, hanging on with one arm and using the other to cover his mouth.
"Ancient power Aerodactyl!" It's body began glowing, it created a see through after image of itself which quickly spun and transformed into a silver sphere of light, launching it straight at them.
"-Vern!" It was struck on one of it's wings, injuring the dragon type who was now slowing down.
"Augh!" She grabbed onto her pokemon, being almost thrown off with Russell during the attack.
She whipped her head back, leering venomously at the masked man, "I'm sick of this chasing game, let's kick it up a notch Noivern!"
"Huh?" He looked back and forth between Mercy and her pokemon, seeing how they both shared the same glaring expressions.
It stopped, now turning around where it was just a short distance away from Aerodactyl who also stopped, a heavy and tense atmosphere clouding around them.
"W-what are you doing?" His nerves began jittering as he was beginning to suspect Mercy's plan.
"Sky attack!" She ordered, It's body was engulfed in a blue aura, taking off straight at it's opponent while leaving behind a blazing blue trail of light.
"Giga impact!" It took off, tucking in both of it's wings while spinning, coating itself in a silver glowing energy and breaking the barriers of sound.
"Agh!" They covered their ears, aching from the piercing sound of the sharp air Aerodactyl had control over.
She looked back at Russell, shouting loudly through the winds, "We're going to jump!"
His eyes widened clearly when he was able to understand her, "No way! Are you crazy?!"
"On three!" She screamed.
"One!"
"W-wait! Hold on-"
"Jump!" She shouted, unable to wait any longer as she threw herself off of Noivern's back with Russell who was tipped over accidentally.
"What the!" Noivern had swooped below, evading Aerodactyl who kept going forward.
"Return!" She pulled out her pokeball, holding it up where she called back her pokemon.
"Agh!" He screamed, immediately choking through when he felt something warm, Mercy, grabbing onto him in a tight embrace.
"Don't let me go". She whispered, leaving Russell wide eyed.
He took in a deep breath, wrapping both of his arms firmly around the bluenette, their bodies were pressed tightly against one another and both of their eyes were shut tightly as they waited for the worst.
*!*
Something cold and wet had devoured them whole, soaking through into their hair and clothes, they had dived right into the ocean.
There eyes shot open, widening when the first thing they saw was each other, mouths puffed out as they quickly gazed around, seeing all the water pokemon scattering away in fright, Mercy pointed up, receiving a nod from Russell who followed along.
*Gasp* they rose up to the surface, gasping loudly and coughing out water they had swallowed upon impacting the sea.
"W-we did it…...we lost him!" She kept coughing, looking over at Russell who had a distressed expression.
"Yeah…...but at the cost of not knowing where the hell we are!" He growled angrily.
They swam over to shore, crawling down over the sand and panting when they were finally worn out.
She grabbed her hair, twisting it all together to rinse the water out while taking a seat next to Russell on the sand.
He released a growling sigh, combing his hand through his hair anxiously, "I can't believe it…..we're stuck in this beach…..or island…..or wherever we are.…..not knowing which way the academy is towards".
"I'm sorry…"
He snapped his head over to Mercy who was facing the water up ahead, still squeezing the water out from her hair, "W-what?"
"I said….I'm sorry…" she murmured.
"It was reckless of me to do that…..especially in the condition you're in…...I never meant for it to be like this".
He kept staring, being stunned when he saw how genuinely she meant every word, he turned to face the ocean up ahead, leaning back with the support of his arms.
"It's ok…..at least you tried to protect me…..I thought for sure you would leave me to be taken by that mysterious person".
They both shared a small chuckle, immediately having the atmosphere silenced again, none of them were talking now, just staring out at the sea.
He took in a deep breath, "You know…" her attention was grabbed, she slowly turned over to him, meeting his eye and quickly looking away.
"Yeah?" She mumbled.
"When we were falling…...I was pondering my entire life up until this moment….I was scared…...I didn't want to die, I had dreams, goals…..I had a mission to find out who I was".
"What…...what do you mean?"
He stifled a laugh, faking a tiny grin in order to hide the sorrow he had, "I never knew who my parents were…..I grew up in an orphanage…..I was bullied…..tormented, humiliated because of how my eye is…...even more…..I never knew why I was born like this…...the master of the orphanage told me I was left on there doorstep like this….my entire life up to now is a complete mystery…..all secrets and no answers…...I want to be somebody important in order to find out where I came from…..who my parents are, I want to ask them why I am like this…...dying was not an option for me at that moment, I had to live…...I need to".
"Russell…." She couldn't tell whether it was a tear, or just a drop of water falling, but the emotion behind his words left something permanent in her.
"Whatever is happening to me…...it's the reason why that guy is after me…...I don't know what his intentions are, but I'd rather fight than find out,...it's better safe than sorry, I need to know Mercy, I deserve to…..what is happening to me?"
It was becoming hard to avoid his gaze, all she could do now was face him directly and tell him everything, "Ok…."
(Celebrant/ Zero/ Luciana)
"What are you talking about!" Hissed Zero, still attempting to break free from the vines holding him down.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, I'm going to enjoy every second of it".
"Stop Ramona! This isn't you!" He coughed when the vines around his neck were tightening further.
"I was the queen of this school! But then she had to come along and take my crown!"
Zero growled when he was whipped by a vine, leaving a clean open wound on his chest, "She defeated you fairly! Agh! Let go of the past and move forward!"
The cocoon trapping Luciana had slowly made it's way over to the raven haired girl, it opened up, allowing for only the blondes head to appear out, she cupped the queen's chin with her palm, "No…. They told me that I could be better than her…...that I could be much stronger…..."
"Who?!" They both demanded.
She kept staring at Luciana's slumbering face, her hand began trembling which she quickly moved away, hiding from sight, "The masters, They came to me, they promised to make me stronger, they promised I would get my crown back no matter what….the Elites…...they were all I had…..it was the only thing important to me….and she took it away…..she took my only happiness! And for that, she needs to pay".
He ripped through one of the vines, shooting his finger straight at the green eyed girl, "Touch one hair on her and I swear I'll kill you Ramona!"
"Z-zero". Celebrant seemed shocked, never once seeing Zero act in such a way.
She began cackling, "Sweet sweet Zero….fighting won't win her heart…..you know that already".
The echo of her snap had rung through their ears, causing both Zero and Celebrant to scream and growl in pain when they were being attacked and whipped repeatedly by a genus of thorned vines.
She kept laughing, enjoying and basking in the cries of her victims, "I want you to feel the pain I've been feeling! I want you to suffer just like I have!"
"N-ngh! Agh!" Their uniforms were nearly being torn off, shred by shred with bare skin now harboring fresh cuts and smears of blood.
Her attention turned back to Luciana who she was facing, "You make me sick".
A small vine crept around the blonde's neck, slithering up to her face where it slowly traced it's thorn over her cheek, leaving a clean sharp cut which began seeping with blood.
He gasped upon seeing it, eyes widening in a crazed manner, his fists had balled up, "Luciana!" He screeched out.
"Zero!" Celebrant noticed the regalia on Zero's arm was glowing, releasing a blinding light to brighten the entire room.
"W-what is this?!" She shrieked, holding both arms over her face for cover.
"Ramona!" She cringed when he roared her name out.
Everything began dying, turning into dust, the plants were losing all life while the vines bounding Zero and Celebrant were quickly withering and shrinking away.
"Thorn King….." She snapped her head over to Luciana who was suddenly murmuring in her sleep.
"Activating….Animus road…...".
(Eric/ Victoria/ Charlotte/ Troy)
"This way!" Shouted Eric, leading Troy and the other frontiers through a small shortcut known to lead to the Elite wing.
"Blast burn!" A giant cross shaped fire attack was shot directly at the five of them.
"Look out!" They threw themselves to the side, dodging the scorching attack just in time, staring at the spot it hit which was now up in flames.
"W-where did it come from?!" Shouted Victoria, getting up and helping the others as she looked around for their attacker.
"Up there!" Charlotte pointed to a figure jumping off the roof with it's magmortar in tow, landing only inches away from them.
"What do you want?!" Growled Troy, stepping back as he held Celestial.
It's rustic voice had given them chills, "It's time to come home".
"Yeah! Keep talking crazy!" Scoffed Victoria, her eyes shot open when a blazing flame thrower was shot towards their direction.
"Agh!" She was pushed over by Eric while Troy dragged Charlotte aside, all of them evading the move once more but just barely.
"What do we do?" Charlotte seemed more frantic, looking back and forth between her comrades who exchanged gazes.
He stepped forward, pulling out his pokeball which he had thrown up, "Greninja! You're up!"
"Eric what are you doing?!" He held his arm out in front Victoria and the others.
"Go! I'll hold them off!" They kept staring at Eric, being startled by his demanding tone as he told them to leave.
"Don't you dare lose". Barked Victoria, glaring at Eric who grinned and gave her a thumbs up.
"Wouldn't dream of it".
"Be careful!" Shouted Charlotte, frowning as the three of them took off shortly with Celestial.
"It's me and you!" Growled the Shield Frontier.
His opponent laughed, "You mean, it's us against you".
Three more cloaked figures shot down beside the first, sparking a large grin to appear on Eric's face, "The more the merrier".
"Do you think he'll be ok?" Frowned Charlotte, they were startled when Troy gave them a small pat on the head, continuing to run forward with a smile.
"Of course!" Scowled Victoria, "He's the Shield after all!"
"Go". it pointed over to the four trainers from behind.
"Huh?!" They had stumbled onto the ground when everything began shaking, being put out of balance and then screaming when the ground broke from under, allowing for something large to burst through.
"Rhyperior!" It drilled straight out from under, being just inches away with it's shadow hovering above them.
"Agh!" They quickly scooted away when it drilled back into the ground in front of them, leaving them almost paralyzed from fright.
"Troy! Charlotte!" She kicked them both away, sensing the ground below them rumbling and feeling the ground types presence, they screamed as she was pulled up into the air by a large stone pillar, now standing on it and looking below where they were at.
"Victoria!" They jumped when another pillar shot up just across from Victoria's, a bulky man with light ashy hair shaped into a mohawk stood on top of it, he had piercing gray eyes and a crooked smile which didn't seem to intimidate Victoria at all.
He crossed his arms together, quite amused by the Club who shot him a glare, "Well well, what do we got here! You don't seem like much of a challenge, hmph".
"You won't be saying that when I sweep the floor with your pokemon".
She pulled out a pokeball, spinning on the tip of her finger, her eyes turned down to Troy and Charlotte who gave her a worrisome look, "I guess this is where we split, you guys go on ahead, I'll take care of this freak".
Troy nodded, taking Charlotte's hand as he took off.
"Victoria!" Cried the Diamond Frontier, being dragged along by Troy who complied with the Club's orders.
"No! Not her too!" They were too much for Troy to handle, slowing him down as he kept pulling them along.
They stopped shortly where he faced the young frontier, giving them a stern expression, "You're my only chance at making it to the Elites wing…...please".
They turned back towards the direction where they left Victoria and Eric, then back over to Troy and Celestial who rested in his arms, they took in a deep breath, finally regaining their composure, "Ok".
He was now being led by Charlotte who still had a grasp on his hand, "We're almost there, we just have to go through this hall".
The doors slammed open as they rushed in, the walls were covered in portraits of past Elite members, but he didn't have time to gaze at them, all he could think about was complying with Celestial's wishes.
A roar was heard in the distance, Charlotte stopped as Troy kept running, now pausing when he felt they weren't following him.
"Charlotte come on!" He stopped towards the end of the hallway, looking back to see the young frontier had remained still at the other end, a pokeball in their hand.
"C-charlotte?" He took a step forward, stopping when they began speaking.
"My King gave his orders, I must protect you and the misses at all costs, and that's what I'm going to do".
"N-no…..come with me! We can avoid them, I'm sure of it!"
They shook their head, "Go…...please make sure you complete Yun's wishes and get Celestial to the Queen, hurry! Luciana's quarter's aren't too far from this point on".
He was hesitant, but couldn't help remember Celestial's request, "I will…..I promise!"
They could hear his footsteps get farther and farther away, a tiny malicious grin appeared on their lips, "Come and get it you bastards".
(Eira/ Harvey)
"Eira!" She looked over at Harvey who gave her a nod, one which she knew well.
They synchronized voices, pointing together at their opponent's Hypno and Bouffalant.
"Arcanine use fire blast!"
"Glaceon use Ice beam!"
Both attacks had surprisingly combined, with fire blast now spiraling around Ice beam and hitting their opponents who were now growling from the effects of freeze burn.
"Use zen headbutt!" Bouffalant had charged forward, a bright purple glow appeared in the center of it's head as it seemed to be aiming towards Glaceon.
"Glaceon! Use Iron ta-". Harvey quickly shouted over her.
"Counter Bouffalant with your extremespeed!" He shouted, the fire type took off, running side from side without being detected, only the image of a copy was left in it's previous spot.
"Arca!" It clashed with the normal type who was sent crashing back against the floor when Arcanine had overpowered it.
"Why did you do that?!" Eira growled, glaring at Harvey who smirked.
"I'm just looking out for you".
She quickly turned away, feeling her face burning up and then jolting when she heard the cry of her Glaceon, she turned back, gasping when Hypno had taken over control of the ice type.
"Glaceon!" It had fired a shadow ball over to Arcanine who dodged it.
"Snap out of it!" She shouted.
It was going back and forth with the fire type who was now also trying to dodge bouffalant's rampaging attacks.
"Gla-glaceon". The purple glow in it's eyes were beginning to fade but also coming back as Hypno tried it's best to keep control over it.
"Dodge it!" Ordered Harvey, avoiding an Ice beam fired by Eira's pokemon.
"Stop it Glaceon!" She pulled out her pokeball, holding it out against the ice type who wasn't allowed to return under the psychic's command.
"Why don't we have a little fun?" They chuckled quietly to themselves.
"Whoa!" He dodged Eira's punch, her body was now under Hypno's control as well.
"Eira!" He dodged her kick this time.
"Stop it!" His head whipped over to the two masked figures who began laughing, enjoying Eira as their new puppet.
"Harvey!" He turned back, being thrown to the ground when she managed to land a clean kick on his face.
"Ngh…." he remained on the floor, looking down at the ground where he spat out, noticing a bit of blood in his saliva.
"I-i'm sorry! It's not me! I swear!" She tried stomping on him but he quickly moved aside, dodging her foot which came hitting the ground.
"Let her go!" He grabbed her arm this time, stopping the ice trainer from hitting him, yet her body was pushing forward with every bit of force in her.
"A-augh!" She scrunched her face up, dropping to her knees as her glaceon was tackled by bouffalant.
He knelt down in front of her, holding onto the brunette who screamed again when her Glaceon was rammed against a tree by the normal type, "What's going on?! What are you doing to her?!"
His teeth gritted at every laugh that escaped their mouths, "Hypno created a life line between your friend and her pokemon, everything glaceon feels will also be felt by its trainer, an easier method to wear our opponent down before capture".
"Glace!" It was struck by Arcanines flamethrower which was meant to hit Bouffalant, but it's course was changed by Hypno.
"Arcanine! Stop!" He ordered, grabbing onto Eira who shrieked when she felt the scorching flames of the attack all over her body.
"It…...it burns!" She fell back, unable to withstand the heat as she landed in his arms, her body was drenching in sweat with visible burn marks all over her body.
(Levy/Leonard)
She pointed up ahead, "Dragonair! Use Aqua tail!"
He joined in after her, "Shadow Claw Sableye!"
It's tail had extended out with water, swinging it around to distract its opponents as Sableye jumped over it, coming down with both shadow claws engulfing it's arms.
"Shadow claw as well!" Called out it's trainers.
"Pyroar!" Both fire types had jumped forward, clashing head on with Sableye who took on both of it's attacks, countering against them as the force pushed them back.
"Do it Dragonair!"
It shot up underneath both of its opponents, whipping up a twister from the energy released from it's head crystal, trapping both fire types within.
"Yes!" She glomped onto Leonard who tried pushing her away but couldn't, both of them pausing when several flamethrowers were shot out from within the twister, breaking it apart and allowing both their opponents to be free.
"Hyper voice!" The female Pyroar had opened its jaw, releasing a powerful cringing sound wave towards Dragonair and Sableye who became distracted from the aching pain being brought to there ears.
"D-drago-" it was flinching repeatedly from the noise.
"S-sable-". It dropped on it's knees, holding both of it's hands over it's head, growling from the eerie noise.
"Fire fang!" The male Pyroar jumped over its counterpart, running head on where it took a huge leap, opening wide its mouth where it bit down on Dragonair's body, clinging tight as the Dragon cried out when flames were igniting all over it's body and several explosion erupted around them.
"Dragonair! No!"
"Sableye! Help Dragonair out! Sucker punch!"
"Flame charge on Sableye!" Shouted there opponent.
It was too quick for them to spot, unable to detect the whereabouts of the female fire type who had stopped Hyper voice.
"Leonard! look out!" Shouted Levy, pointing to where Sableye was tackled directly by Flame charge, being dragged across the field and against the building which had split effortlessly from the impact.
"You can't defeat us". They pointed at the two trainers together.
"Why do you say that?!" Leonard hissed, pissed at there confidence.
"Because you can't even work as a team properly".
"Pyroar!" It threw the dark type back against Dragonair with Iron tail, both of them now crashing to the floor while taking on a blazing double flamethrower attack.
"Stay strong you two!" She whipped her head over to Leonard, expecting for him to come up with a strategy.
He looked back over at her, having nothing to say, he had no strategy, he had no plan.
(Blake/Rosebella)
"Roserade! Use petal dance!"
"Shifrty! Leaf blade!"
She spun on her feet, going faster and faster as she released a shower of petals to cloud the area, giving a minimum amount of vision to its opponents who couldn't see Roserade and Shiftry anymore.
"Shift-" a dark shadow was spotted going from one place to another behind the wavering petal storm.
"-try!" It shot out from behind, crossing it's bladed leaf like arms against the Seismitoad and Electabuzz they were going up against.
They were sent back against the floor once they were struck by the attack, gettin back up only to release a Hydro pump and Thunderbolt combination attack.
"Dodge it!" They both shouted.
"What the-" there opponents were caught off guard when both Roserade and Shiftry evaded the attack without any effort, practically skidding across the field in dance like moves and jumping from tree to tree, showing off their unmatchable speed.
"Surprised?" Giggled Rosebella.
Blake smirked, "You shouldn't be, this entire field is our stage, and your pokemon are only props to our performance".
She shot her finger over to them, winking at the same time, "So why don't you sit back and relax for the show".
"Ugh…" they were left dumbfounded, not being able to keep up with Roserades grace like moves and Shiftry's undetectable ninja like skills.
(Hector/Iria)
"You know him?" Asked Hector, staring at Ryder with leering eyes.
He set her down on the ground where she continued looking up at him, still taking in the sight and finding it hard to believe that it was all true.
"This…...this is my…" she kept mumbling, not noticing how she wasn't finishing her sentence.
He stepped in for her, holding his hand out towards Hector with a smile, "I'm Iria's older brother, Ryder".
"Older…...brother?" He looked back and forth between the two, both of them nodding where he came to realize that they were in fact related, mostly due to the similarity of their violet eyes.
"Ryder…...h-how…...I mean where…...why?" She didn't know what to say, having so many questions just not knowing where to start from.
A chuckle stiffened out of him, "It's a long story…..but now's not the time to explain, first we need to get out of here".
"Y-yeah". She nodded, following his side as he led the way out.
Both Hector and Mira followed behind them, "Who are you?" He asked, looking at the pig tailed girl who smiled.
He took her hand quickly, shaking it as a greeting, "Mira, nice to meet you"
"Mira huh…...are you new here? I haven't seen you around".
"That's because I'm not from this time".
She got up ahead of him, leaving the Rose frontier confused as to what she meant by that, "This time?"
Ryder had stopped, sparking the others to do so as well, "I almost forgot one thing".
"What is it?" Asked Iria.
"This". He turned back, striking his hand towards Mira and Hector who were thrown against the wall by a Metagross breaking through from the wall.
"Augh!" They hit the wall roughly, falling over on the ground with a groan, there heads weakly lifting up to face Ryder.
"W-what are you doing?!" She rushed over to them, being thrown back roughly by Metagross who blocked her path, she was picked up by her older brother, unconscious now.
Mira couldn't move, having chunks of the broken wall land on top of her, "R-ryder…...what are you doing?"
"You shouldn't have trusted me Mira, I'm actually surprised my future self didn't warn you about that". She gasped at his devious smile, realizing he tricked her the entire time.
"Warn about what…...what's going on?" Groaned Hector, trying to escape the rubble he was buried under but without any success.
"Don't do this! Think about the consequences!" She cried.
His eyes became voidless, "I already have, and the results…..will be me being King forever".
She watched in horror, being left speechless as he disappeared with Iria and his Metagross, a loud cry escaped her lips, "Master!"

Luciana- The Queen of the Frontier's, also known as the Champion of the Academy. Luciana is the Pledge queen who commands all knowledge and level extension amongst the other Kings and Queens.

He takes a keen interest in the regalias and plans to tame his road and become the Storm king, a title he has already given himself. He was once a part of Crystal Genesis and seems to have a deep history with their Leader, Celestial.
Mercy- Celestial's closest friend and trump card, she is truly loyal to Crystal Genesis and her friends, she has endured a difficult childhood under a father who was obsessed with the power of the regalias and never knowing her mother. She is the older cousin of Rosebella who she once shared a strong bond with but has withered over time due to Rosebellas obsession with becoming apart of the Royals war. She made a promise to her Aunt Alice and is now willing to give everything up for her cousin. She is the Current Rose Queen to the Grass road.
Celebrant- Luciana's Ace and ranked as the second strongest person in the Elites, he is also nicknamed the White Knight and seems to be very popular amongst the academy, especially in stealing the hearts of girls. He managed to win his title of Ace at a young start while coming to the Academy, he has a naturally pure heart and doesn't think Crystal Genesis or the Frontiers are as evil as others perceive them as. It seems he might have started feeling something towards Dakota when he first saw her performing and those feelings might have turned into something else, but whether they are feelings of romance of friendship is quite unclear to him. Only Luciana knows that Celebrant is the only son to former Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. He is the Current Thunder King.
Michael- Yun's Joker and the second strongest trainer of the Frontier's. Michael is completely loyal to the Frontiers and despises the Elites, especially his counter opposite, Celebrant, who he tries to tease and constantly get fired up. He is waiting for the perfect match against the white knight and will do whatever it takes to get Celebrant to unleash his full power, even if it means using the Ace's closest friends. Although he may seem antagonistic, Michael still has good intentions here and then.
Mika- Luciana's Sword and ranked as the third strongest trainer in the Elites, Mika has a complicated history with the Frontier's Shield, Eric, whom she met in their Childhood, they once planned to run away together, that is until Eric was bought by her father who seems to run a dark and cruel organization dealing with Illegal experimentation. She came to the academy with the intention of doing as told by her father, but over time came to love the school and the Elites whom she was assigned to spy on. She hates Eric, feeling he betrayed her when he decided to join the Frontiers, but the feeling of hate just might be overpowered by another feeling. Mika is the current Queen to the Solar road.
Eric- Yun's Shield and counter opposite of the Sword, he is the third strongest trainer in the Frontiers and has a complicated history and relationship with Mika. He came from an abusive home where his mother abandoned him and his father for another man, leaving Eric to endure endless physical and verbal abuse from his father, he planned to run away with Mika but was shortly sold to her father where he became one of his many test subjects. He was freed and allowed to go to Champion's with Mika where they both planned to dominate the school together, but when she took an interest in the Elites, he became fascinated with the Frontiers, thus, creating a ripple between their friendship. They quickly cut ties when they each got accepted and although he might hold some resentment towards Mika for everything her father did to him, he still cares deeply for her and plans to make amends. Although Eric was thought to be a failed experiment, it is shown that he can connect thoroughly with only dark type pokemon.
Victoria- Yun's Club and Hector's counter opposite, she is the fourth strongest trainer in the Frontier's. Victoria seems to have a burning hatred towards all men, whether she knows them or not, she hates them all, and the reason for that is because her father left both her and her mother, causing the suicide of Victoria's mother whose final words on a letter were, "Rot in hell". Her only lead to her father was that he was once a Frontier King. She despises the Frontiers and actually sides with the Elites, being a double spy for Luciana who took in Victoria as her understudy.

It seems she harbors deep feelings for Celebrant. Dakota is the current Rumble Queen.
