Tory and Melanie were being tossed around by the river. Masquerain fluttered above the water, on the look out for any more rampaging Gyarados. The water was ice cold, and the current threw both of them into rock, protruding out of the river. It was like they were thrown into a giant washing machine. The river eventually slowed when it emptied out into the lake. Tory and Melanie tread water, and waited for the excitement of their hearts to go down. "That was awesome," said Tory. "Who's up for round two?"
Melanie stared at him. "Look," she said. "A fire." Tory looked around and saw a light flickering a long distance away. It looked like a man sat around it, looking at something shiny.
Tory started to swim toward the fire. After swimming ten meters, he said, "This is ridiculous." He pulled out a Pokeball and released it in the air. His Noctowl flew out and circled above Tory. "Fly me over to the fire," said Tory. His Noctowl complied and lifted him out of the water. As he flew through the air, Tory shivered because of the cold air blowing against his wet body.
Noctowl let him down and flew onto Tory's shoulder. It was Henry who sat near the fire. Henry looked up and hid the gold and silver Pokeball behind his back. "What do you want?" he said savagely. "You want to take this, don't you? Don't you!"
"Take what? What do you have?" Tory craned his neck to see what he was hiding behind his back.
"Don't play stupid. You want the trophy," said Henry. He pulled it from behind his back and let it reflect the fire.
Tory read the writing on it. He looked at Henry. "That's right," said Henry. "They did it to us on purpose. This whole thing is the last challenge. The first one to the end with the trophy wins." Henry turned around and ran down a dark passage. But he fell on his back when he collided into an invisible wall.
In the corner of Tory's eye, Melanie appeared along side her was her Alakazam. Henry stood up again and pointed at her. "And you, you knew. You didn't predict the future, you must have sneaked into the Captain's room and saw the papers that planned this whole thing out." He narrowed his eyes. "You're as fake of a psychic as any of us."
"You can decide that for yourself," Melanie said. She out stretched her hand and the Pokeball lifted out of Henry's and glided toward hers. Tory looked at her, while Henry was petrified by shock. Noctowl, stared at the Alakazam and lifted off into the air, and slammed a glowing wing into the back of Alakazam's head. It fell to the ground along with the trophy. Henry regained himself and dived for the trophy.
Melanie's Alakazam got up and attack Noctowl with a Psychic attack. It was shoved into the fire, where it instantly lit up. Noctowl hopped out, screeching in pain. The screech was so sharp, it made Alakazam fall to the ground, holding its ears and Melanie and Henry stopped fighting, staring at the bird being cooked alive. The flames slowly went out by its self, leaving just the smoldering Noctowl. Noctowl flew into the air again and used Iron Wing against the Alakazam that had not realized the screeching stopped. Alakazam flopped over when it was hit again, and struggled to get up. It fell to the ground after one last feeble attempt to get up. Noctowl fell to the ground, in desperate need for rest.
Melanie ran over to her Alakazam and held it up. Henry took this opportunity to escape. "Get him," cried Tory. And his Masquerain zoomed past his shoulder and chased after Henry. Tory pulled out a Pokeball and returned Noctowl. "After all this fighting, I am surprised that Noctowl isn't dead," said Tory to him self. Tory ran down the same passage that Henry took.
It wasn't long until Tory had reached, and tackled, Henry. They fought over the trophy on the dark ground. Tory could hear the flapping of Masquerain's above him. "Masquerain, use Swift." But the stars that were expected to be shot at Henry never came. "Masquerain?" Tory looked over his shoulder and it was not there. He stopped fighting and Henry made his getaway. Tory threw a Pokeball the way someone would try to catch a Pokemon. It opened and found Masquerain on the ground, exhausted.
Tory picked up the Pokeball and walked back to the fire. Melanie was long gone, teleported, he presumed, to the exit. He looked over the lake and at the dark ceiling. If there was only a way to get up and through the hole that was made by Henry, and then fly over the island and beat Henry to the exit, where he would snatch the Pokeball and be declared the winner. But his Noctowl was completely worn out, and he would not dare do anything with it, for fear of killing it and none of his other Pokemon could get him up there. He looked at the dark passage way Henry took to leave. Tory realized it was the only way and took it.
