As they started to write in, they learned only one of them could enter this tournament. They sat down in a corner, and thought about who should go.
Iain and David were too popular, as they could just enter this tournament… Cipher would be warned, and wouldn't come, and lead them to their hideout. So Wes was the only one who was left.
He registered himself to the tournament, and the rest went to watch the fights.
Iain stared at the worn out coliseum, and looked at his friend. David shrugged, "Orre is a remote region… the only income are the battles here, and even these were only a small thing."
"That means they manage to keep the tournaments running, but not enough to hold the buildings in true check?"
"At least in this town, it is a difficult thing because it isn't one of the brightest places! But if you go to Phenac City, you would be surprised!"
Iain looked at his friend and shrugged. Seems this region could be interesting at all beside the hot temperatures and the adventure here.
The battles begun, and Wes was able to win each fight with his trusted Espeon and Umbreon.
David watched Wes' style of battle and thought aloud, "He improved his skills!"
Iain nodded. "I agree! He has good skills! If he spends enough time in training he could be a treat to us!"
David chuckled "Indeed Iain!"
The tournament ended and Wes went out in victory. Outside he got his prize money, and with Rui he walked out.
Iain and David followed him in a save distance. They spotted him talking with a weird guy. Wes nodded and with Rui he followed him, followed by David and Iain. They entered a building, and the two Half-Humans, Half-Mews waited outside for a short time.
Then they heard the sounds of battling and rushed inside.
They saw how Wes beat a bunch of trainers and took their shadow Pokémons.
Wes turned around after the fight and David asked him "I guess that is the hideout?"
Wes nodded "Indeed! And it seems that their boss is at the top!"
Iain and David understand, and just as they wanted to go up, they heard Ducking coming in "It seems I was right about you!"
"Hi Ducking! What's up!" asked David.
"I… will tell you now how they can keep me in control… they have my Plusle…"
Everybody looked at Ducking. "Your beloved Plusle?"
Ducking nodded, and Wes replied, "I understood!"
Together with Iain, he stormed off on the rescue mission, followed by Rui.
David chuckled at this, but spotted something. He took it, and read the title: "Ein File"
David decided to take it with him and study it later. For now, he had to follow his friends!
