Koenma's Panic and

Tournament Preparations

As soon as Botan arrived in Koenma's office, she was sent back out with orders to come back with Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kurama in less than five minutes.

In nearly five minutes she was back with the requested boys in tow.

"Oi, Pacifier Breath, what's with the rush?" Yusuke yelled as he walked in, hands in his pockets. "Botan barges in through my window and tells me I have less than a minute to wake up and get dressed, because you want to see me, now! It's freaking 4:30 in the morning! What is so important that you would have Botan drag us out of bed so early?"

"I must concur with Yusuke," Kurama said coldly.

"Hn," was Hiei's assent.

A loud snore caused everyone but Hiei to sweatdrop, as it appeared that Kuwabara had fallen asleep standing up.

"Hey, Kuwabaka, get yer lazy ass up!" Yusuke shouted as he hit Kuwabara 'lightly' over the head.

"What the hell was that for, Urameshi!" yelled Kuwabara as he picked himself up off the floor.

Before the two could start a fight, Hiei slammed his hands down on Koenma's desk before growling out, "Just tell us why you called us here." And for the second tine that day, Koenma was on the receiving end of a deathglare and afraid for his life.

"I-I n-need you t-to t-take part in the Dark Tournament again," Koenma managed to say.

"What!"

"Why?" Hiei asked, ignoring Yususke and Kuwabara's outburst.

"Some… acquaintances of mine have entered a team in the tournament. I believe that their goal is to end the Dark Tournament for good. Personally, I don't mind, but-"

"But," Kurama cut in, having already figured out the problem, "if the Tournament were to end, the majority of the demonic community might revolt."

"Exactly. You're the only ones I know who may be able to stop them," Koenma said.

"How strong are they?" Yusuke asked, excited at the thought of a good fight.

"I don't know exactly who is fighting, but I do know that the strength of any given one could range from approximately the equivalent of a C-rank demon to the equivalent of a low A-rank."

"That doesn't sound too bad," said Kuwabara.

"There's something that you're not telling us, Koenma, isn't there?" Kurama accused.

"Well, there's a rumor that the two strongest each have power destroy the Earth with only a thought, but it's only a rumor," Koenma quickly added, seeing their stricken expressions.

"Even if we do agree," Yusuke said, swiftly getting over his shock, "who's going to be our fifth? It's not going to be Genkai again, that's for sure."

"I was going to ask Jin if he would join."

"Not likely," Hiei sad unexpectedly. "Word has it that he's putting together a team for the tournament this year, consisting of himself, Toya, Chu, Rinku, and Shishiwakamaru."

"What about Suzuki?"

"I talked to him before our fight with Team Toguro," Kurama said. "He told me that he was done with fighting. He wanted to use his time to work on his inventions."

"We have two months until the Dark Tournament, and I assure you that I will have your fifth in time," stated Koenma. "That being said, all of you should train during those two months. I am giving you no choice but to enter."

"Anything else?" asked Kurama.

"Only that, if they so wish, I can procure tickets for Keiko, Atsuko, Shizuru, and, of course, Yukina."

"Well, since we have no choice, I'm heading home and going back to bed. See you in two months, Koenma," Yusuke said as he dragged a love-struck Kuwabara, who had gone starry-eyed at the mention of 'his Yukina,' out the door.

Kurama and Hiei followed seconds later, after giving Koenma one last suspicious look.

Koenma sighed before telling Botan, who was still in the room, to get him the names and locations of everyone the Spirit Detectives had fought since Yusuke had started.

A while later Botan handed him a few sheaves of paper listing what he had asked for. Koenma looked down the list before stopping at one name in particular. Within minutes, he was in his teenage form and on his way to the Reikai jails.

When he got inside, he continued on before stopping outside of a cell.

"What do you want, Koenma?" the cell's occupant said.

"I'm here to make a deal with you. Your sentence was one hundred years in jail for being an accomplice to the murder of humans. If you agree to fight on my team in the Dark Tournament, I'll cut that sentence in half."

"Give me what I ask for, and it's a deal."

"Very well," Koenma said as he turned to walk away. "I'll come to get you in two months, Bui."

Two weeks later finds Mew and Mewtwo training in a clearing. Mew was showing Mewtwo both elemental-based and standard Fighting moves.

Mew threw a Fire Punch at Mewtwo, who dodged and countered by using his tail to execute a Slam. Mew grabbed Mewtwo's tail before the attack landed, and used Mewtwo's speed and power against him with a Seismic Toss, throwing Mewtwo into a tree. Mew followed the attack with a BubbleBeam.

Mewtwo floated up out of the smoke before it cleared, looking a bit worse for wear. Beforehand, the two had agreed to use their Psychic abilities minimally, meaning that neither one was using moves like Protect, Detect, Barrier, or Safeguard.

:Before we continue,: Mewtwo said as he set down in front of Mew, :I would like to know why you learned Fighting and elemental moves.:

"Well," Mew answered, "it started as a personal challenge, to see if I could master a Water-, Fire-, or Ice-type move. It got more serious when I learned that Dark-type Pokemon were immune to Psychic-type moves, but vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks."

:How many moves do you know now?:

"Over the years I have taught myself almost every move from every type. I even know Dark-, Dragon-, and Steel-type moves."

:Impressive."

"Yep, and now I have less than two months to teach you nearly all of it."

:Then should I suggest that we continue?: Mewtwo said with a smirk, settling into the fighting stance taught to him by a Blaziken. The two then rushed at each other to continue their spar.

The rest of the two months passed by in much the same way. Mew taught Mewtwo all that he could, and Suicune, Entei, and Raikou trained with each other. Yusuke and Kuwabara trained hard under Genkai, while Kurama and Hiei trained separately and together. In Hoenn, the stadium neared completion, and the word spread among the wild Pokemon that the Legendary Pokemon were going to fight.

The day drew near, as Pokemon and demons from around the world traveled to Hoenn. Soon the day would come when ancient powers would collide with demonic abilities.
