Episode 3: CaptureXXX

Location: Rooftop of Pokétech building in Jubilife City.

World: Earth Time on planet (they're different planets so they can't all have the same time): 12:37 a.m.

Jubilife City was busting with activity as usual, even though it was 12 in the morning. 18 year-old March sat at the edge of the building and stared up at the stars above him. He had spiky Red-orange hair with orange eyes. A black shirt with a red Dragonite blowing fire at the right, with a red cape to protect him from the harsh weather and is fire proof. He also has red pants, black and orange fingerless gloves, and black and red shoes.

"You know…" March began as he spoke to his Dragonite (right) and Salamance (left). "It's kinda hard to believe that ten planets are about to have a war against each other." His two Pokémon nodded in agreement. They stared at the stars for a while longer until a female voice spoke causing them to turn around.

"Now you're copying me?" The girl known as Sapphire Rare questioned her friend. She was 16 and had long, midnight black hair pulled back to one side with a silver barrette. Her eyes were silver and seemed to stare right through your very soul, and light cream colored skin that the guys go crazy for. She had a long sleeve blue shirt with a black jacket that has her name stitched in blue on the pocket with black skinny jeans with a fake claw slash on the left thigh and white sneakers w/ blue laces

"You're not the only who looks at stars you know." March replied with a smile. "Why would I ever want to copy you anyway?"

"Cause I'm the best fighter in town and I can beat you." Sapphire said as she walked over to them, and moving Salamance over so she could sit next to March. March looked at Sapphire and smiled.

"Cute and cocky, I like that." He said to her before returning his attention to the night sky.

"What do you mean by cocky?" Sapphire said with a raised eyebrow.

"Just because you have the skill doesn't, it mean you know how to use it to its full potential." March said without turning to her.

"Whatever you say.' Sapphire said. "Why are you here anyway, you know I always come here at night."

"I wanted to tell you something." March said as he stood up, dusting off his pants. "You see those 10 flickering stars?" March said while pointing her in the direction. Sapphire almost instantly spotted them.

"Yeah I see them." She responded. "What about them?"

"Stars don't flicker, they give constant light so that means they're planets."

"And you're telling me this because…"

"Those ten planets are at war with each other. Soon their war will reach us, even though we're so far away."

"How do you know this?" Sapphire asked with an interested look.

"That's not the point. You need to start gathering more people like us… you know… with similar powers if you want to live through the destruction of our planet." This comment made sapphire stand up with a confused look.

"Whadda ya mean by 'I' need to do this, aren't you gonna help!" She yelled.

"Hmph, I'm not the type of guy to lead a fight; to lazy. I'd end up getting us all killed. You said it yourself that you are the better fighter out of us. Plus you're way braver then me."

"But YOU said that that doesn't matter unless I know how to use it correctly!"

"Exactly, that's why I'm giving you all of my Pokémon." March replied as calmly as ever. Sapphire stared him down for a while but March's expression and decision seemed to remain. He was about to walk away but hen Sapphire grabbed his hand and pulled back around.

"Yeah right," She said with a smile. "You're coming with me whether you like it or not." Sapphire grabbed the Pokéball on his belt and returned March's Dragonite then pulled March over to Salamance.

"What are you doing?" March questioned as she stood him by his Salamance.

"Well WE are going to get on your Salamance and find others like us and you have no opinion in it what so ever." Sapphire said with a grin on her face. March raised an eyebrow at her.

"So what you're saying is that I no longer have a say in the matter?" He questioned.

"Exactly." March blinked at her, then he groaned and got on Salamance.

"Fine, come on." He says as he held his hand out to help her get up. Sapphire smiled at her success and happily allowed him to give her a lift.

"I knew I could convince you as always." Sapphire said.

"Shut up and just hold on." March said, though Sapphire didn't notice his smile. "Salamance!" Salamance stood up and stretched his long red wings as Sapphire held on to March. "WAIT!" March yelled, as Salamance was about to launch off the rooftop, causing Salamance to almost fall.

"What was that for!" Sapphire barked.

"Shouldn't we go to the Pokémon center first? I mean it's 12:47 in the morning. And besides…" March's stomach growled and he scratched the back of his head. " I've been waiting for you for hours and hadn't ate anything." Sapphire and Salamance sweat dropped anime style.

"Fine then." Sapphire laughed.

"Alright Salamance, to the nearest Pokémon Center!" March commanded. And they headed off

Location: Odura World Stadium (O.W.S.)

World: Odura

Time on Planet: 3:43 p.m.

"And there goes another merciful for the one and only… Rex!" The tournament announcer screamed with excitement as Rex had once again won the world's champion trophy (for the fourth time in a row) and spared his opponent. Rex was black with a muscular build, and 6 feet tall. He didn't wear a shirt revealing his muscles but he does wear black pants, blue shoes, and blue and black gloves.

"O yea!" Rex yelled to the cheering crowd as though he was the Kool-aid guy. "No one's gonna stop my winning streak!" As he said this Mokaii appeared in front of him with a smile on his face. The crowd grew silent.

"I beg to differ!" (Is that how you say it, -_-. Anyway.) Mokaii yelled loud enough for everyone inside to hear.

"Says who!" Rex replied. "I could snap you like a twig kid!"

"Yea your probably right!" Mokaii replied which made Rex raise an eyebrow at the probably part. "But I'm not here for that Rex."

"Well if you're not here to fight then I suggest you leave!" Rex said with an uninterested look while using his hand to make the shoo gesture.

"I'm here to issue a GPC." Mokaii said, ignoring what he said.

"A what?" Rex replied; he never got acronyms.

"A Galactic Planetary Challenge." Mokaii replied. "It's a competition between planets who've all agreed that their entire race will face off against others and loser have to either evacuate their planet or suffer the same fate as it."

"Which is…"

"The destruction of their home planet." Mokaii said. "So far nine planets have agreed and they've decided to add your world as a competitor." Mokaii lied with a straight face as though it was poker. "What is your decision?" Rex pondered for a while then got an idea. He turned to the crowd.

"What do you all think!" Rex yelled to the crowd. They all cheered with excitement, which Rex took as a yes. "And how about I lead us into a victory to remember!" Everyone yelled even louder. Rex turned back to Mokaii, as the crowd grew silent again. "You have your answer."

"Right, I'll be sure to inform the others of your answer." Mokaii said. He disappeared moments later. Rex took this as his cue to begin preparing.

"Everyone let's prepare for battle and load up!" Rex yelled and everyone cheered again. "Spread the word throughout the entire planet so everyone knows what's going on!"

"YEA!" They replied as they began exiting to get ready and inform others. But some were repeatedly yelling, in sync, "REX, REX, REX, REX!" Rex grinned.

'Can't wait to tell Eloise about this.' Rex thought as he exited the stadium.XXX

Location: Iridium's mansion

World: Draskei Time on Planet: 11:53 p.m.

"Your place is awesome!" Ryusaki told Iridium as he opened the door to his guest room. The walls and floor were painted black with white stars; it had a king-sized white bed with, and a closed window next to the bed. A brown closet was opposite to the window, and next to it was a door leading to the bathroom, which had its own sink, toilet, bathtub, and standing shower. A TV was next to the door on the right, which made it opposite to the bed. Ryusaki ran in and jumped on the bed in a laying fashion, grabbing the remote in the process, and turned on the TV.

"Just don't break anything, cause for everything broken in this house is a broken bone in your body." Iridium warned.

"Don't worry I'll try and stay under control while in the awesome presence of your house." Ryusaki reassured him.

"You better," Iridium groaned. "If you need me I'll be either in the room down the hall with my name on it or the kitchen. And Shrowd will be in the room next to yours."

"Yea, yea, yea." Ryusaki said without turning his attention away from the TV.

"Listen to me when I'm talking to you!" Iridium yelled which caused Ryusaki to jump at his outburst.

"Ok, Ok, I heard you Iridium, no need to be so high strung." Ryusaki replied as he went into the bathroom though Iridium wasn't convinced. But Iridium still just left him alone in the room, closing the door as he left. Ryusaki took this time to take a shower and turned the hot water all the up with even touching the cold water handle (remember he specializes in fire type moves so a hot shower to him is different from most). Ryusaki took off his clothes and stepped in the standing shower but as he did this his ears jumped three times (like Pokémon with heightened sense when they hear something). He smiled and proceeded to take a shower.

Location: Iridium's Mansion, Hallway

Iridium walked quietly with his headphones on listening to Disposable Heroes. He made his way to his kitchen and reached in his cabinet to grab his daily bag of potato chips. He opened it and began eating them when remembered that he hadn't locked the door. Iridium made his way to the living room and grabbed the doorknob to lock it when he noticed it was warm. He quickly pulled out his dagger and turned around with his back against his now locked door and smiled.

"It's seems we have a visitor." Iridium said to no one in particular. It was then that the power went out. Iridium quickly jumped up stairs to get to the hallway. Once he landing he began moving slowly and quietly while sliding his hand on the right side of the hallway's wall as he couldn't see in the dark. He continued walking for a couples a minutes when he suddenly sensed something and jumped to the other side of the hall as a dagger came flying at him. Unfortunately for Iridium he hadn't moved quick enough and was caught on his right arm.

Iridium looked around but the presence had disappeared.

'This is bad.' Iridium thought as he held his arm. Iridium sensed the presence again as another dagger appeared and hit him in the leg. Iridium ignored the pain, snatched the dagger out of his leg but then the dagger disappeared somehow. He began sprinting down the hall. 'Whoever this guy is, he's good.' He thought as he ran. 'He must have known I was going to try and track him using his weapon, and since I can only can a glimpse of his whereabouts when he attacks I need to think of something quick before he kills me.' Iridium then got an idea and stopped the middle of the hall. 'That's it!' Iridium transformed his dagger, which was still in his hand, into its sword form and began channeling his energy into it. The sword then became engulfed in flames.

The light from his sword shined bright enough for him to be able to see the walls and about ten feet in front and behind him.

'Now I can see and I can have more time dodge his attacks.' Iridium then began running toward Ryusaki and Shrowd's rooms. 'If this guy is using what I think he's using, I'll need to get either Ryusaki or Shrowd to handle this.' As Iridium ran, hidden in the shadows, the one pursuing him was beginning to plan he assault on Iridium based off the capabilities Iridium had just shown.

'This is gonna be easy.' He thought to himself with a smile.

Location: Iridium's Mansion, Guest Room

Ryusaki finally had finally gotten out of the standing shower and put on his nightclothes, which consisted of Dusknoir pajama pants with all black socks and no shirt. Ryusaki took in the smell of the steam that the shower had created.

"I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing some clothes since I forgot mine. Oh yeah, the fresh smell of steam after a hot, hot, hot shower." Ryusaki said while drying his hair with a towel. It was then that the power went out. Ryusaki, unlike Iridium, had the ability to see in the dark and easily found the doorknob and opened the bathroom door. "Hey Iridium, can't you remember to pay the bill for this fancy house of yours!" Ryusaki joked. It was then that he noticed his window was open. "At least he was thoughtful enough to let the window up for so I can have sum nighttime light."

"That reminds me," Ryusaki said, with a straight face as if he was actually speaking to someone, as he sat on his bed, facing the window with his towel over his shoulders. "It's funny how many threes I've encountered today. If I know math then me, Iridium, and Shrowd took down three times as many of those druids things then we thought we would, it's been three hours since that fight, my ears jumped three times before I took a shower, and I had a three minute shower." On the next part though he smiled as he said it. "Not to mention that that window wasn't opened till three seconds after the power went out and Iridium can't see in the dark… so it should've been impossible for him to have opened it so quickly without me hearing him with my senses, isn't that right assassin… or should I say assassins."

"You're smarter than I thought." The brown haired girl known as Addie said coolly, as she sat on the window opening. She seemed to appear there as Ryusaki blinked. Ryusaki stood up and turned around as another girl was lying in his bed. She has silky black hair that is slightly wavy and cut in layers. She has big brown doe eyes that are framed by thick lashes. Her features are striking and attractive and she is medium length and nicely developed with tanned skin and pouty lips. She wore a short, form-fitting dress with a slit up the side paired with gold gladiator sandals with a silver pendant.

"What's wrong, not coming to bed?" She teased with puppy dog eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, I really, really, really want to but I don't wanna actually come back out of it."

"O well, your loss then." The girl replied before almost instantly throwing five needles at Ryusaki while Addie simultaneously took the two daggers from her sides in an x fashion and rushed Ryusaki. Right before the attacks hit though a black force appeared over Ryusaki, stopping the attacks and sending them back. Addie caught herself before she hit the wall and landed on her feet and the girl that was in his bed jumped out of the way in time for the needles to hit the bed.

"Really?" Ryusaki mocked. "That's all Assandiate's top squad has to offer… maybe Echo will be a better challenge when she comes out of the closet." It was then the closet burst open but it appeared as though no one was located inside, but Echo appeared behind Ryusaki.

'Dammit my shield won't appear fast enough.' Ryusaki thought as Echo suddenly hit him, though it seemed she appeared behind him. Nevertheless he was sent through the dark into the dark. As Ryusaki hit the wall opposite to his door, leaving it cracked to the extent that if someone thumped it, it would cause it to break. It seemed that he moved fast enough to block the attack though as his arms were held up in front of his face and a bruise was located on one of them.

"Super cute and has a deadly kick, that's Echo for ya." Ryusaki said as he stood up.

"Nice to see you again Ryusaki." Echo said in a flirty tone.

"You two know each other…?" Addie questioned as she walked out into the dark with Ryusaki and disappeared.

"We've seen each other on a few… occasions." Echo answered with her usual bright smile.

"I wondered what those 'occasion' are." The black haired girl replied.

"That's classified info." Echo replied before see too disappeared in the hallway darkness.

"Classified as in…?" The voice of Addie cooed.

"That it's between me and him." Echo said. Ryusaki looked around. To a normal being it would seem as if their voices were there but they weren't but Ryusaki knew better.

"So Echo, who are your beautiful friends?" Ryusaki asked casually as if his life wasn't at stake. A hand flew towards Ryusaki but he had anticipated it and grabbed it, it was Echo. She swung her foot up but Ryusaki, while still holding her hand, ducked and tripped her.

"Well the girl that was at your window was Addie and the one that was in your bed is Kiki." Echo said with Ryusaki on top of her. Addie appeared behind him with her daggers and was about to cut the, what she thought was an unsuspecting Ryusaki when she was hit by what seemed like another Ryusaki in the darkness. A closer look though, with her trained eyes, revealed that the so called Ryusaki clone had a tanner skin color, hair that was completely black instead of red at the tips, a fang sticking out each side of his mouth, and claws for fingernails.

"Who is he?" Kiki said as she appeared in front of the mystery man with her needles and successfully stabbed him with all five. Poison was in them but the man didn't budge. Instead, the needles snapped in half and the poison leaked out of his somehow, non-bleeding body. Kiki was astonished.

"My bad for breaking your toys," He said referring to her needles. "My body just seems reject deadly things… especially poison."

"Shrowd what did I tell you about changing into a copy of me?" Ryusaki said to his partner.

"Sorry but I like the changes to my body." Shrowd replied as Addie swung at him only to be blocked and sent back. "It's makes me look more… cooler. Even better than you."

"That is a complete lie!" Ryusaki yelled. Seeing he was distracted, Echo took this chance to literally turn things around and flipped Ryusaki, causing her to be on top. She held a small knife to his neck.

"You get distracted so easily." She told him. "It's a wonder why so many have failed to kill you."

"Please," Ryusaki began, "You know why I haven't been killed yet." Ryusaki laughed before disappearing into the floor, leaving Echo on the ground by herself. Echo jumped up and threw her knife at the wall causing Ryusaki to almost fall out with blood on his bare chest. He hadn't completely fallen out as his arms and legs were still in. Though the knife was inside the wall behind Ryusaki, he only had its mark in the front of his chest and blood leaked out the opening in his chest as if the knife was inside his chest.

"Ahh, I got blood over your wonderful body." Echo said.

"Ta-Ta-Take it out." Ryusaki stammered.

"What's that?" Echo laughed. Now she was about to toy with him. She reached behind him for the knife and stuck it deeper in the wall causing Ryusaki to scream. "I didn't quite catch that." Ryusaki coughed up blood as the whole in his chest deepened somehow.

"Ryusaki!" Shrowd yelled as he witnessed what had happened. He was about to go help when Ryusaki yelled back.

"Stay back Shrowd!" Ryusaki yelled.

"But you need my-"

"No I don't!" Ryusaki interrupted. "Run and find Iridium… he's most likely fighting another one of them. He won't stand a chance in this kind of darkness unless you go save him."

"But what about-"

"Forget me and go and Iridium and get out of hear!" Ryusaki yelled then looked up at Echo who was mere inches from his face. "She knows just as well as you that I'm not dying anytime soon." Shrowd shook his head and as Kiki and Addie attacked, he jumped back and into the wall.

"His presence is gone but we can still track when he reappears." Addie told Echo but she shook her head.

"No need Addie." Echo said with a devious smile while cupping Ryusaki's face with her hand. "We have all we need and more in Ryusaki alone, even without Iridium."

"Why are you here anyway?" Ryusaki asked.

"Simple." Echo replied. "I want info and you know who and what a want."

"N-Never." Ryusaki stammered again.

"Suit yourself then." Echo stuck the knife deeper into the wall and laughed at Ryusaki screeching pain. She also began moving it around causing him to scream louder.

"Argh! Fine, I'll tell you your info." Ryusaki said, finally giving in to her power over him. She then took the knife out the wall and the whole in Ryusaki's chest closed, and Ryusaki, now passed out, fell completely to the ground with his entire body. Kiki took this time to grab her Pokéball and threw it up in the air.

"Coalanne, I need you to help carry our target to the ship." Kiki said as a Magmotar appeared in front of her. The Magmotar, known as Coalanne, obeyed her master and picked Ryusaki up. Echo jumped into the air as energetic as ever.

"OK, so the mission's competed!" Echo yelled happily even though after what had just went down. "I say we celebrate with ramen!"

"Really I just don't understand how you're always so perky." Addie said as they went back to Ryusaki's room to exit. All three plus Coalanne who was holding Ryusaki exited through the open window and then closed it.

Location: Iridium's Mansion, Guest Room

Iridium was covered in his own blood and he stumbled across the hallway, not knowing where he was headed because of the darkness even though it was his house. His flaming sword hadn't helped much as his attacker had still been able to hit him with surprise attacks.

"Dammit…" Iridium said. "Where the hell are Ryusaki and Shrowd when you need them." It was then He heard a scream. "Tha-That's Ryusaki!" He yelled and began running towards the direction of the voice. As the screams began getting louder Josh appeared in front of Iridium.

"Hmph." That was all Josh muttered with his arms crossed.

"Well look who finally decided to show himself." Iridium said while readying his still flaming sword.

"Don't be stupid." Josh said to Iridium. "You, and I bought know that your no longer in a condition to fight me."

"That may be but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you kill me." Iridium responded.

"I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to take you with me." Josh said as he walked toward Iridium.

"Still not gonna happen." Iridium said as he stepped back. Josh rushed in but he stopped short due to the fact that Shrowd appeared from the wall in between them.

"Well look who we have here." Josh said with a smile.

"Shrowd, where's-"

"No time to explain." Shrowd interrupted. "We have to leave now!" Shrowd grabbed Iridium's wrist and disappeared. The hallway became completely black again and Josh smiled.

"Now our mission's in faze two."

AJ: So there you have it, episode 3 and episode 4 is next on the list but it's going to be about the planets that have yet to make an appearance. (Which are the one's I don't have (or have many) Ocs for) And those planets areKodieta, Jai, Earth, Nundaike, Yomadi, Zamontodun, and Mokodunte. And no those planets do not have beings that match the type of planet, it's more like what battle techniques they use, but if you wanna know more about a planet before submitting an Oc (or Ocs) for it then I'll be more than happy to give you a full descriptions. And remember that even if they're related they must represent different planets. If you don't comply with that then I'll just put them where I see fit. But… that's pretty much it. Till next time.

I'm out!
