Date: March 17, 2006

Ever since the day the souls were sealed, the Evil had given up their search. Except for one, the Witch Doctor. 274 years since the sealing The Evil had somehow, almost vanished. Giratina was never since 13years after and then one by one the other subordinate leaders of The Evil have not been seen. The last to ever be seen was the Witch Doctor.

It was an awkward afternoon at Jubilife City. Today is the start of a 2 week event. Everywhere u go, there was a broadcast of this event, it was even sent to other towns. This event was a "Tag Team Duo." Trainers were to both partner up and tag team, or one trainer use 2 pokemon. And this was all going on for 2 weeks. But thing is, those who want to participate for the prize and be the best Tag team, or best double battler, had to register. And when you register, you get a wristlet, just like a poketch, but this tells how many times you have double battled, your win/lose rate, and your chance of winning.

But it seems like with all these battles there won't be much of peace. And here comes a group of kids that are going to participate.

"C'mon guys we got to hurry, or else it's gonna get way too crowded!" yelled a girl.

"Dude, I knew we shouldn't have listened to that lecture," gasped a boy.

"Well, it can't be helped, the teach had the room locked, and there was no escape," came from another boy.

"Everyone, just run and stop arguing," said an annoyed girl.

About 10mins of running the finally made it, but as they expected, the place was packed.

"Dang, about how long do you this will be?" asked the girl.

"Don't know Caroline, but at least Stephanie and Raphael here can breathe now."

"O ha-ha Matt, you be quiet," said a pissed off Stephanie.

"Well at least we made it and that's all that counts," said Raphael.

"Excuse me, are you 4 here to register for the Tag Team Duo Event?" asked a women in a green uniform with the name of the event.

"Uh, yeah," answered Caroline.

"Then please fill out these papers, and don't forget to put which one you are doing, a double team or tag team," the green uniform women had handed Caroline 4 sheets of paper.

"I have a question, where do we turn these forms to?" Caroline asked before the women walked off to the next group.

"O, you bring them over to the counter right there," the lady was pointing to a counter.

"Thank you," then the lady moved on, and Caroline handed everyone a paper.

"Well, with this many trainers signing up no wonder this event is going to last 2 weeks," Matthew said in awe.

"So who should team up, or we do solo double battles?" asked Stephanie.

"Well, depends on what pokemon we got," said Matt getting his pokeballs.

"I have my Empoleon, Gorebyss, and Seaking," said Stephanie.

"I got Torterra, Venasaur, and Bellosom," said Matt.

"I have Jolteon, Umbreon, and Leafeon," said Raphael.

"I got Gallade, Gardevoir, Bronzorg, and Grumpig," said Caroline.

"So, we have Water, Grass, Eevees, and Psychic," Matt said to the group.

"Hey Matt, how about Tag Team with me," asked Stephanie, "We will be Water and Grass duo?" Stephanie said grabbing Matt's hands.

"Fine, I guess," Matt said really without caring.

"Well, since me and Raphael don't have much of a good combo, I'm a go double team," Caroline said as she finished her paper.

"Ok, fine with me, gives me some experience in having 2 pokemon out."

After they had finished the papers, Caroline brought the papers to the counter.

"Hello, how many registering?" asked the person there who was also in a green uniform.

"Four people and here are the forms," she handed the papers to the guy.

"Ok, I'll look through these for a sec, please wait," and the guy scanned the papers.

"Ok, everything seems to be in check," the guy pulled out 4 wristlets, "these 2 are for the Tag Team, these 2 are for Double Team, and have fun with the event."

Caroline took the wristlets and headed back to the group.

"Ok here, these 2 are for Tag Team, this is for Double Team, and I already have my Double Team on," and she handed them the wristlets.

"Now we are set, let's head to the Battle Lobby," said Stephanie.

There were a lot of trainers here and there; those who had finished registration had the same wristlets on, the ones for Tag Team, or Double Team. When they reached the elevator and pressed the button for the 3rd floor. Upon reaching the 3rd floor, they were in a corridor and there were about 5 people in the green uniforms running around carrying stuff for trainers, from foods and drinks both pokemon and human, to grooming supplies, to even vitamins.

"Welcome, do you need anything?" asked one of the green uniform people.

"Could I get some sweet berries and poke chow?" asked Stephanie.

"Anything else?"

"Do you have any type strengthening items?" asked Matt, "and if so, you have any grass type items?"

"Yes, we do, and will that be all?" Raphael and Caroline didn't need anything so that was all. The person in the green uniform wrote down everything, and told them to follow.

"Follow me to the room you will be waiting in," and so they followed.

About 2 mins, they reached the room they would stay in for awhile.

"You will be staying here with some other guests for awhile as the event goes on, just call on the phone if you need anything," and so the lady left to get their orders.

They walked in and were surprised, there was maybe about 20 other people in the room plus the pokemon. But the rooms were huge, almost ballroom size. They moved in greeting people and settled down in an open area. They got comfy and let out their pokemon to relax as well.

About 15 mins of lounging and chatting, the order came. The same green uniform lady came in with their stuff and gave it to them.

"Thank you," and then the lady went back out.

"Ok so now that we have everything for now, lets figure out how we should do this," Raphael said pulling out some papers.

"Let's see, so they are going to have 6 groups battling at a time, so I suggest we try our best to split up, unless they have some way of ordering," Stephanie said acting smart.

Then all of a sudden there was a voice on the intercom, "To all trainers participating, we will be sending out numbers from 1 to 12, and if one of the 12 numbers appears on your wristlet, it means you are up, and please follow to your corresponding number on the field," then as that finished on the left side of the room, a huge TV appeared from the ceiling and appeared, showing the battle field and the huge crowd up in the seats.

"Wow, impressive battlefield, and look, some of them have a field type," Matt said impressed.

"Those are the Field type battlefields, and 2 of them are supposedly trap fields, so be careful," came a voice behind them.

The all turned to see who the voice came from, it was a guy about 1617 with black hair, had a Starly on his shoulder, and a berry in his right hand.

"I'm guessing your wondering who I am, well I guess I can introduce myself, I'm Marcus," the guy said introducing himself.

"Hello Marcus," Stephanie walked up to him and put out a hand to shake, "I'm Stephanie, this is Caroline, Matt, Raphael."

Marcus accepted the shake, "well from what I see, you guys have pretty strong pokemon."

"Thanks, what pokemon do you have?" asked Caroline.

"I'll introduce you to them," and so Marcus grabbed his pokeballs and brought out his pokemon, "Meet Lucario and Roserade, I also have Riolu."
