A World Worth Fighting For

*Bruno's Room*

"Oh hey...There's lava below the floor…" Flint said looking off the side of the platform connecting the two doors. "Hooray.."

"Great...That doesn't feel ominous to me at all…" Lucius remarked sarcastically.

"Halt." Bruno's voice echoed. "I understand you are Hank Coro's pokemon...Is this a correct assumption?"

"Yeah, you bet it is!" Talon said as he flew into the center of the room. "I'll take you one on one if i have to! Me and your Machamp, let's go!"

"Your anger is understandable and justified, feisty one." Bruno's voice became clearer as he walked toward the center of the room to meet Talon. "But my pokemon have no intent of fighting you. On the other hand, they seem to be more inclined to head with you. I however, have a duty to the Elite 4, no matter who heads it. I am required to battle to the best of my ability, and i hope that you can forgive me when i say that i cannot let you pass, so come, feel the power of my might! Hoo-hah!"

"I'll take this yahoo…" Liteweight said as Bruno sent out his Onix.

"Let me help!" Lucius added. Liteweight nodded.

"I'll get Hitmonchan." Flint said, readying his fists.

"I'll take Hitmontop." Powerball called.

"Then I'll take Hitmonlee." Twinkle said.

"And I've wanted that Machamp from the beginning…" Talon chirped with a glint in his eye.

And the battle was like none other. My pokemon and Bruno's, not using moves, but sparring with each other, and as the time passed by, to my dismay, my pokemon seemed to be getting tired, except Talon, who was clearly pouring his whole heart into this. That was when the music started.

"For a long time we've been sparring in this battle…" My other 5 pokemon sang.

"Fighting a giant herd of Lance's cattle." Liteweight said, trying to overpower an Onix.

"Like the pounding beat, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore." all 5 sang.

"Hey!" Talon interrupted. "Think of instead, a world worth fighting for!"

"Hmm?" Bruno questioned Talon.

"That's what i said." Talon said as he hit Bruno's Machamp with a Return, and knocked him into the door towards the next room, clearly unconscious. Bruno was shocked as Talon continued. "A world worth fighting for!"

"I want to see happy trainers." Lucius sang. as he tossed Onix up in the air.

"Whose Pokemon shine like stars!" Litewieght sang along as he used Giga Drain to drain the Onix of its conciousness.

"They'll marvel at my strength!" Twinkle sang as he used a Psybeam on the Hitmonlee sending it into unconsciousness.

"Adore my battle scars!" Flint boasted as he let the Hitmonchan hit him and used his Blaze and Blast Burn to burn it to ashes.

"I really don't care for their teams or how they choose them…" Powerball sang. "It all depends on how they use them! Special, Physical, Status, hmm..." He sang as he electrocuted the Hitmontop.

"Bet in our new world you would be quite the charmer…" Talon sang to Bruno, trying to convince him to let them through.

"And I'll bet the ladies love a man with honor." Flint nudged Bruno, who went slightly read.

"The world will think you have no faults." Talon sang. "You'd be one of a kind…"

"Are you by any chance?" Bruno asked. "Trying to change my mind."

"Yes!" All the pokemon said as they huddled together for a game plan.

"I say we cut it loose and kill him." Liteweight sang.

"But he isn't a real villain!" Flint protested whilst singing.

"I dream of a world that's unlike any other." Bruno sang after a while.

"Where we can all have respect for each other…" They all sang, and then my pokemon took over.

"You can guess what he have thought of most since we entered those doors!" they sang referring to the doors of the Pokemon League HQ.

"What do we want?" Talon sang at the pokemon.

"A world worth fighting for!" the other pokemon sang.

Talon turned to Bruno. "Please understand." He sang.

"This world's worth fighting for!" The pokemon all sang.

They whistled the tune as Bruno went to unlock the door.

"This world's worth fighting-" But the music and song was cut short as upon opening the door, a chainball boobie trap knocked Bruno off the platform and into the lava.

"Well that is...not good…" Flint said as the pokemon looked into the final chamber before Lance's room.

"It's so dark in there!" Talon squinted trying to see. "But i guess we ought to go-mmph!" He was muffled as something dragged him away."

"Talon!" Flint said as he ran in and the other pokemon followed. "Don't worry we're coming for-Mmph!" Flint and the others were gagged and bound and shoved into the corner of the room with Talon.

"What have we here?" An older woman asked as she walked up to the corner. "Yes...You'll make nice decorations…" She said as she left the area. "Karen will be back for you my pretties…" The pokemon each found their own way to ungag themselves.

"Look at the skulls everywhere…" Lucius said. "I'm not liking this…"

"Well, at least we made it farther than last time…" Flint said glumly.

"No." Talon said in a hushed voice. "We are going to get Hank and he's going to become the new Champion."

"Ooh...I wouldn't count on that…" A Houndoom walked into the area. "You see, you never quite know what Karen's going to do, she's so dark and spontaneous...
