First off, I want to say thanks for all those who read my story, turns out I have over 1,000 views! Wasn't expecting that! Second, sorry that I haven't posted a chapter on Friday or Saturday, I had a tight schedule on those days, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to finish the story in time. That is until I had come up with an idea on Friday, and you guessed it, this chapter will be the biggest chapter ever. It will contain the entire game plot, the gym battles, and the elite four! So you can see why I didn't post this chapter earlier. Now without further ado, I give you the longest chapter of the story!

Disclaimer I don't own pokemon, if I did, I would make celebi and Dialga so that I can spend more time here on fanfiction.

After explaining the plan to my team, we set out to sea, we were about to cross the entire sea when Skipper pointed out a cove that we almost missed. Changing our course, we head to the cove, but before entering I could've sworn I saw someone following us, but I chose to ignore it. Once entering the base, I see that there is high tech gear, just like team magma base, except this place has water all over the place, and transporters, I can tell this is going to take awhile. After fighting off a few grunts, I barely notice another grunt frozen, but I don't remember using C-Run, that's when I caught sight of a shadow behind a corner. I give a nod to Dash, he rushes off at the mysterious figure and before he could run, Dash grabs him by the collar of the shirt and tosses him to me.

"Who are you, and why are you following us?"

"I saw you enter the cove, and I figured I could help, I mean two heads are better than one."

I was a little skeptic, but if he hadn't attacked me yet, I guess I can trust him. After helping him up, I notice this guy was 5'6 tall, look around the age of sixteen, had light skin, short black hair, and green eyes. He was wearing a thick white hoodie with red, black and blue plaid designs on it, and for some reason he was wearing black pajama pants that have gray and red plaid on them, and was only wearing socks. "Alright, so what's your name?"

"Jason."

"Jason and?"

"Jason."

"So your first and last name is Jason Jason?" He nods, and I just shrug, "Better than my name, which is TM by the way. So you want to help, I'm going to assume you have pokemon with you?"

"Yup." With that he releases three pokemon that I never seen before, a snow flake pokemon, a polar bear pokemon, and I believe the last one was an ice cream pokemon. "This is Cryogonal, Beartic, and Vanilluxe. These guys are from Unova."

"Wait, you're not from Unova?"

"Nope, I live here."

"Then how did you get these ice pokemon?"

"Oh, some shady guy came to me and asked me if I wanted to buy some pokemon, he only had ice, but I wasn't complaining."

"Quick questions, have you ever used battle items?"

"Nope." Well at least he isn't on the thing.

"Okay then, since you are here to help, I just need to know, are experienced are you?"

"Oh I just became a trainer."

"…Well I guess you can consider this your training."

"Great, I'm really good at attacking from afar. Will that help?"

"Actually yes, can I count on you to watch my back?"

"Absolutely!"

"Okay then, let's continue with this base then." With the new companion, we continue to explore the base, with Jason following me far behind. I have to admit, even though he was new, his pokemon are pretty tough. It does help to have someone watching your back. We battle some more grunts, continue getting lost using the transporters, but one of them did send me to a room where there was this purple ball with the letter m on it. For some reason the ball was familiar, I think someone mentioned it before, but I can't remember who. Anyways, after beating some more grunts, we finally end up in a big room with a submarine in the water. I saw another grunt, but this guy was different and before we know it we are surrounded by more aqua grunts. The admin then starts laughing as he walks to me.

"I'm impressed that you were able to get this far, too bad you come so close just to fail. It's a shame, I would've loved to pulverize you, but it doesn't look like I will get the chance."

"There's one problem with that."

"What?!"

"I'm not alone!" Suddenly the grunts are attacked by three familiar ice pokemon, like I said, it's good to have someone watching your back. "C-Run, go help Jason deal with the grunts, we will handle this chum." C-Run then joins the three ice types and they start to hold off the grunts and their pokemon, leaving only me and the admin.

"Very smart, looks like I underestimated ya kid. Now it's time to face a real challenge, Matt of team aqua!" He sends out a mightyena and a golbat, and I decide to counter with Raphael and Alistar.

"Okay guys, show them what grass and fire can do together!"

"Right!" They both shout in agreement. Alistar starts things off by charging a overheat attack. Seeing what my charizard was going to do, the mightyena and the goldbat decide to attack Al first. But before they could get the chance Raphael uses sleep powder to stop them and give Al enough time to use his attack. The full force of overheat was more than enough to KO Matt's pokemon. He returns them, but starts laughing again.

"Not bad kid, too bad I was only stalling. Now that everything is set, we are off to get Kyrogre, so long succor! Good luck trying to find the underwater cave!" With that he jumps on submarine and leaves with it. I try to stop him but he is already gone. I turn to see the other grunts already frozen.

"Wow, I think you guys overdid it a bit." Jason then comes out from and returns his pokemon.

"Well these guys are tough, but I do have to admit, you articuno sure knows how to freeze them."

"Since we are done here, let's get out of here." We make our way back to the exit, and go to the pokemon center to refresh our pokemon. "Your pokemon are sure tough, I think you will make a great trainer."

"Thanks, but what about you?"

"Well I need to go after team aqua, but I have no idea how to get to the underwater cave without a submarine."

"Actually, I heard that there is an this guy has an HM move that can teach your pokemon how to dive. I believe it's in Mossdeep city. The guy's name was Steven." Great, it had to be him, but if he has it, guess I have no choice.

"Thanks, looks like I know where we are going next. You want to come?"

"Nah, I think I had enough excitement for today. But if you ever need help, give a shout and I will answer."

"Alright then, see ya later!" With that, I take my team, get on Skipper, and we use surf to cross route 124. There were some swimmers, I wander how they are able to continue swimming and never get a cramp. It wasn't long until I finally land on Mossdeep city. I was about to search for Steven but then I saw a sign saying that there was a gym here. "Okay guys, slight change in plan, first we are going to beat the gym leader, then we are going to look for Steven." But Al read the sign and taps my shoulder.

"Um TM, there are actually two gym leaders, they use psychic pokemon, and it's a double battle."

"…You're kidding right?" Unfortunately he isn't. "Great, okay then, Raphael, because of your poison type, I won't be using you for this gym. Lavender, you are the only one who knows a dark and ghost type move, but if things get dangerous, I'm pulling you out!" With that we head to the gym and enter the psychic place. I see that this place had multiple switches, transporters, and rotating statues. I am going to find the guy who designs this place and whack him in the face. After fighting the trainers here, and wasting about 30 minutes. Finally I reach a room where I see a boy and a girl, and they are twins. "I'm going to assume that you two are the gym leaders, right?"

"Hehe…I am Tate."

"Hehe…I am Liza." They then start to talk at the same time. "Are you surprised that we are two gym leaders. And that we are twins. You made it this far, let's see how you do against us!" This guys were already getting on my nerves. They send out Xatu and Claydol, and I decide to counter with C-Run and Skipper, and boy were the psychics tough. It took about 3 surfs and 5 powder snow until Xatu finally fainted. They send in a moon shape pokemon, Lunatone, to the field, the pokemon was twice as hard. That's when C-Run decide to do a combination attack, Skipper uses surf to cover the two psychics in water, and C-Run finishes them off by freezing them, unfortunately, the lunatone was able to land a psychic attack on C-Run. I had to switch her out, but the only other pokemon who can take her place was Lavender. It was risky but I had a feeling that when Skipper and Lavender are together, they tend to win a lot. The last pokemon they send out is a solrock. The pokemon hit's them with a powerful psychic attack. Luckily Lavender was strong enough to withstand most of it. Things were getting close but then Skipper and Lavender pull another combination. Lavender begins to charge a shadow ball, making it bigger than normal. The solrock saw what was going on and was about to attack with psychic again, but was interrupted when it was suddenly covered by a huge wave, thanks to Skipper. Having enough time, Lavender launches the huge shadow ball at the sol pokemon, it tried to dodge the attack but because of Skipper's surf attack, it was unable to avoid the oncoming blow. The attack sent the pokemon crashing through the walls, it was KO'd. "I don't believe it!"

"You don't believe it?! I can't believe you just broke our synchronization!" Soon the two gym leaders start arguing with each other.

"Um…can I have my badge now?" They just throw me the badge and I leave the twins to continue their argument. Once outside the gym, I congratulate my team for the job well done. Afterwards, we begin to search for Steven but then I saw a whole bunch of team magma and Maxie heading towards the space center. "Great, just great! First I have to deal with team aqua, now these guys!"

"Maybe I can help?" I turn to see a guy with short black hair, tanned skin, I notice he had a slightly muscular build, and he was wearing black jean shorts with a blue shirt. But what caught my attention was the lucario standing beside him.

"Well I welcome any help, just depends on who is asking."

He then holds out his hand and I shake it, "You can call me Jesse, and he is Aura."

The lucario also holds out his paw, "How's it going?"

"Fine." When I responded to Aura, Jesse had a shock look on his face.

"You can understand pokemon?!"

"Yeah." Funny, usually I'm the one asking that question.

"Wow, it's just I wasn't expecting to meet another person who can understand pokemon."

"Well I did meet two other trainers who can also understand pokemon. Guess it's a small world after all."

It was Aura who gets everyone's attention this time, "Um, I don't want to sound mean or anything, but you two log heads completely forgot about team magma!" Me and Jesse face palm to the ground.

"Thanks Aura for the reminder, by the way, what's your name?" We start heading towards the space center.

"TM, and before you say it, I know it's a weird name."

"I wasn't going to say that."

"Really?!" I was skeptic about this.

"…Okay, maybe I might have implied that it was different."

"That's what I thought." Eventually we made it to the space station. I wish I had the time to look at all the space models, designs, schematics, and such. But the place was overrun with magma grunts. I then look at Jesse, "Ready to knock some heads?"

"What's more fun than knocking bad guy's heads?"

With that Jesse and his lucario start taking half the grunts, while me and Dash take on the rest. Seeing as how these are just grunts, it wasn't too long until me and Jesse had beaten all of them grunts on the first floor. We head up stairs but are surrounded by three grunts, who all release their pokemon.

"What's wrong with you?! You are outnumbered 3-2! You have no chance of winning!"

Me and Jesse nod at each other, "We may be outnumbered, but you are outmatched!" Me and Dash took the grunt and his pokemon on the right, he stood no chance. I saw that Jesse and Aura had already beaten the grunt on the left. And when there were only one pokemon left, both our pokemon simultaneously attack his pokemon. We soon continue forward, and up ahead I see Maxi, one of his admins, and Steven.

"Just the guy I'm looking for!" Finally a break, but Jesse was curious.

"Why were you looking for my cousin?"

"Wait, he's your cousin?!"

"Yeah, he can be a jerk sometimes, but he is one tough trainer. It's kinda why I'm here in Hoenne."

"I'll explain things later, right now let's go help him out!" We were planning on ambushing Maxie but then Steven notices us and decides to make things difficult.

"Oh, hey TM, I see you meet my cousin."

"Really Steven, of all times you had to pull a move like that." That's when Maxie notices me and Jessie.

"So I see we meet again TM! Well this time, you're not getting out of here alive!"

But Steven steps back, "How about TM and Jesse take you two on."

Me and Jesse were glaring at him, and Jesse was the first to speak up, "How about you help us beat these two guys instead of you watching!"

"Sorry, three way battle isn't allowed here, only in Unova."

We were going to argue more, but then Maxie and the admin release their own pokemon. "Guess we have no choice." It's a good thing Skipper had a lot of health, and with Aura, taking down team magma was easier than expected. Maxie was steaming mad, get it, because he is the leader of team magma, and lave creates steam when water is super…forget it.

"All I want is to expand land! Is that too much to ask for?!"

"Um, yeah!" He doesn't answer, but instead he and the rest of team magma leave the space center.

"Oh yeah, TM, you said you needed something from Steven?"

"Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot. Steven, I was wandering, do you have an HM move called dive?"

"Yeah, but why should I give it to you? It was pretty hard getting this move."

"Come on cuz, it's the least you can do since we did the battle for you."

"Alright, I will be fair, just this once." With that he gives me a disk containing the move dive.

"Finally, now I can go after team aqua and stop them before they get to Kyrogre! Jesse you want to come along?"

"Sorry, but I can't, have to stay. But I'm sure we will meet each other soon."

"Alright then." I leave the space center, and head to route 124. When we find a suitable spot, Skipper dives under the water, it was absolutely amazing being underwater. But what I don't get is that if I need goggles to cross a desert, then how am I breathing under water? Better not question the logic of this world. As great as this was, it was taking time, who knows how long I have until team aqua tries to take control of Kyrogre? Along the way, I ran into something I never expect to see, especially underwater, A CELEBI! I don't know how, it got here, but it looked damaged. When the celebi notices me, it looks at me with pleading eyes, guess I have no choice. I tap the time traveling pokemon with an ultra ball, and it was sent to my storage. I'll be sure to release celebi when I get to a pokemon center. After exploring the underwater for a bit, Skipper notices a cave, and figuring it's where team aqua would be, we head there. Once we go to the surface, I see the same submarine from team aqua base. We were in the right direction. I see the first aqua grunt, when suddenly an big huge steel type pokemon, with horns and a tail attacks the grunt. I was confused at first, until I saw a guy run up to the Aggron and hi five the pokemon.

"Way the go Arun!" I notice the guy was wearing dark blue jeans, a mustard-yellow shirt with a rapidash head print, and a grey denim zip-up jacket with black felt arms, hoods, and black trainers with 3 white stripes running down the sides vertically. He was wearing his hood, so I couldn't see the guy's hair. He finally notices me and he and his pokemon get into battle position. "Friend or foe?!"

"Whoa, take it easy, I'm TM, not a foe." The guy calms down, geez that was close, I don't have time to battle this guy, but maybe he can help me. "So what are you doing down here?"

"Oh, I just saw some aqua dudes come down here, so I decide to do some investigation."

"Let me make it easier for you, I believe they are here for Kyrogre. I'm here to stop them before it's too late."

"Well then you can count me in. You can call me Brandon."

So we start exploring the cave, occasionally running into aqua grunts, but they were taken care of quickly, seeing as how there were two trainers with strong pokemon. Eventually we get into a certain spot of the cave, where there is fog everywhere, and in the center I see a big huge whale like pokemon, doing nothing, but I didn't see Archie anywhere.

"Maybe we beat Archie to Kyrogre."

"Hold it right there!" I spoke too soon. Me and Brandon turn to see Archie himself, with all his pokemon out, a mightyena, a crobat, and a sharpedo. Me and Brandon decide to work together, and he uses Arun as I use Lavender and Dash. Lavender charges forward with Dynamic punch, dealing heavy damage and causes the mightyena to faint. Arun then uses rock tomb to crush the crobat and Dash finishes sharpedo off with a powerful thunderbolt. Archie was surprise at how easily we defeated his pokemon, but then he starts laughing.

"I must commend you, you are truly gifted, but it matters not, so long as I have this!" In his hands are the red orb, I try to stop him but he already activates it, causing the Kyrogre's eyes to glow red, and it dives under the water and leaves. "What, where did Kyrogre go?!" Suddenly he got a message from one of his subordinates. "What?! It's raining, that's good. That is supposed to happen when Kyrogre has awakened. Wait, you're saying the rain is stronger than what we intended, you're in danger?! Monitor the situation, I will be out soon." He hangs up his phone and his face has a look of confusion. "What is going on?" Suddenly Team Magma, along with Maxie show up.

"You awaken Kyrogre, haven't you?! What will you do now if it rains for all eternity?!"

"So what, you upset groudon!"

"Look at what you have done! TM, you and your friend come too!" With that he takes me, Brandon, and Archie to the surface, where we see a huge storm is happening, but then it would stop and the temperature would rise too dangerously high degrees. "We have to fix this Archie, before it's too late!" With that Maxie and Archie leave, and as soon as there do, Steven comes.

"What happened?! The balance of nature is out of whack. And it seems to be worse above soothopolis city. What is going on there?!" He flies off to go investigate the problem, and we decide it's best to check what's going on as well.

After diving and searching for a bit, we find an entrance to the soothopolis city. Once I go to the surface, chaos was ensuing, for I see two titan pokemon, battling each other to the death. One side was Kyrogre, and the other was KingC. C-Run was about to fly to KingC but I stop her.

"TM, what are you doing? Don't you see KingC needs our help?!"

"That isn't KingC! Or at least the KingC we know. The blue orb has changed him, and now he and Kyrogre are fighting each other to the death!"

"Then what do you suggest we do!" That's when I spotted Steven up ahead.

"Brandon, try to calm the people around here, tell them to head indoors, I got a feeling things are about to get hectic!"

"Okay man, but what about you?"

"I need to talk to someone!" With that I leave Brandon while he goes and warns the people. Eventually I meet up with Steven. "I'm guessing you have an explanation as to what is going on, right?"

"You guessed, correct. Right now Groudon and Kyrogre are battling for control. They are using their uncontrollable power. The balance of nature is in chaos. There is someone who I want you to meet." He leads me to a cave, where an old man guarding the spot lets us pass. "Okay TM, you will have to go in alone, the person you will meet will explain how you can stop this."

Deciding to trust him, I enter the cave of origins. It was huge, there were glowing red and blue crystals everywhere. The deeper I went, the more foggier it became. Eventually I end up seeing a guy, and since I haven't met anyone else yet, I am assuming he is Wallace. Before I could even ask, he interrupts me.

"I know why you are here TM. As you already know I am Wallace. Groudon and Kyrogre, they are said to be two super ancient pokemon, but what most people don't know is that is a third. One that no one knows where it is, the third ancient pokemon is called Rayquaza. It is said that Rayquaza has more power than the two titans combine. There are rumors that it can traverse the lands in mere seconds, calm the sea, stir the winds, even bring the dead back to the leaving." If this is true, then there might be a chance that I can bring back Nelipot and Locsite! "Unfortunately even I do not know where Rayquaza is. By any chance do you have any ideas as to where Rayquaza might be?" I was about to tell him no, but then I remembered rumors about a big green pokemon in the sky flying to a tower, I believe they called it sky pillar.

"Sky pillar, I think."

"Excellent! We will go there and get Rayquaza!" There was just one little problem, the guy left before telling me how to get there! I chase after him out of the cave, just to see him already leaving the city.

"Great, now how am I suppose to get to sky pillar if I don't even know where it is!"

"Maybe we can help you." I turn to see two trainers, one a girl with a gardevoir, and one a boy with a pinecone. The girl is the first to speak up.

"I heard you needed help from my brother."

"Your brother?"

"Yeah, his name is Brandon, and I'm April. This is Lady." The gardevoir then does a little curtsy. I didn't realize Brandon had a sister, guess he forgot to mention it.

"Nice to meet you." Lady sure was graceful.

"Lady, no need for that curtsy junk." I think she just understood her gardevoir. I was about to ask but then the other trainer interrupts me. I notice this guy was 5 foot 6, had brown wavy hair, blue eyes and was wearing a white t-shirt with a yin and yang design on the front, except the colors were orange and blue instead of black and white, and he was wearing denim shorts.

"The names Lewis, and this is Pippin."

"…Hey…" His pinecone either didn't like to talk, or he doesn't like me.

"Come on Pippin, none of that hey stuff."

"Hold on, you two can understand pokemon?" They both nod, wow, what are the odds of meeting two trainers at the same time who both know how to understand pokemon. "Well I'm TM, now you guys said you can help?"

Lewis is the one to speak first, "Yeah, you said you were looking for Sky Pillar, right? We were just at Pacifidlog Town, and recently a tower had appeared on the horizon, it goes beyond the sky."

"Can you guys take me there?"

This time is was April who speaks, "Sure, but we need a ride. I was heard my brother was here."

"And I kinda live here."

"Well lucky for you two I have a swampert who should be able to take all three of us. You think you can handle it Skipper?"

"I am French, I can handle anything!" We all get on Skipper, and leave the city, but before we did, I notice that Archie and Maxie were both trying to control the two pokemon, and failing. Once we are on route 126, they start giving me directions to sky pillar. It took awhile, especially with the weather out of whack, but we eventually find this tall tower on route 131. Kinda hard to miss it. Once we get on land, we prepare to enter the tower. But right before we can Wallace comes.

"Hey TM, sorry that I left you behind." Just then the weather had just gotten worse. "I'm worried about Soothopolis city, I am going to check it out. Your friends will come with me. TM, you go and confront Rayquaza!" April and Lewis were a little disappointed that they couldn't come with me but they agree and Wallace gives them a ride back to the city. With that I enter Sky Pillar, and the place was far bigger than anything I have ever seen. Seeing as how I was in a tight schedule, I decide to use repel to avoid all the pokemon in the pillar. After climbing up the endless stair case, I finally reach the top, and behold, I see the very same pokemon I first saw on route 101, the familiar green serpent like body, with its two arms and yellow eyes, and I finally get a full view of the legendary pokemon, Rayquaza.

"And who dares to enter my domain?!" This guy's voice was so loud that it was shaking the entire tower.

"TM!"

"What a weird name. Why have you come?!"

"I need your help, Groudon and Kyrogre are battling each other as we speak, sending the balance of nature into chaos."

"WHAT?! How many times do I have to tell them?! That's it, they are so getting it!" With that he takes off, leaving me behind.

"Oh no, I am not missing this!" I quickly get on C-Run and return all my pokemon. With that we give chase to the flying pokemon, but it was hard, the thing was going at mach speed. C-Run was having trouble keeping up, but we eventually made it to Soothopolis city just in time. I see things had gotten worse, both KingC and Kyrogre were charging their most powerful attacks. It look like it was the end, but just then, Rayquaza comes and interrupts the two.

"How long has it been? I turn my back for a few centuries and I see that you two are causing chaos once again. How many times do I have to tell you not to fight with each other?!" His shouting snaps the two pokemon out of the two orbs trance.

Kyrogre was the first to speak, "Rayquaza, you must understand that we had no control over our actions." By the sound of Kyrogre's voice, I can tell it was a she.

"You have to believe us!" At least KingC was back to normal.

"I don't care, you two were given the jobs of keeping nature in balance, but since you can't even do something like that, than there is no need for you!" I saw the distraught looks on KingC and Kyrogre's face, so I decide to intervene and fly in front of Rayquaza.

"Hold on, you have to give them a chance!"

"Ah yes, I remember you, you are the one who informed me of what happened. So tell me, why should I give these two idiots another chance?"

"First off, it really wasn't their fault, they had lost control and begin to fight with one another. And second, I can see you are a busy pokemon, if you fire these two, think of how much time it will take to find replacements. I may not know how the system works with you legendaries, but I'm guessing it's very time consuming."

Rayquaza was in deep thought, but finally he answers. "Very well, and I rather not have to deal with all the problems with firing these two, so I will allow this, but just this once!" With that he takes to the sky and leaves, and the moment KingC and Kyrogre see that he is gone, they faint from exhaustion, with KingC falling on the landmass he created, and Kyrogre floating in the water. Seeing as how Maxie and Archie might try to take control of the two pokemon, I decide to ruin their fun. I pull out KingC's original pokeball and use it to return him back to me. I then use a ultra ball and capture Kyrogre. I take them to the pokemon center and restore their health, walk back outside and release them both.

"Guess you were right when you said we would meet each other again KingC."

"Yeah, thanks a lot for helping us back there. Rayquaza tends to have a short fuse."

"Anything for a friend. So Kyrogre, sorry about catching you, don't worry, I plan to release you both."

"As long as it wasn't by a master ball, I'm okay." That's when I remember the purple ball I found at team aqua base. I guess the ball will come in handy in the future.

"Alright TM, we have to go now, but if you need help with anything, give us a shout and I will answer." We said our farewells, C-Run saying last minute things to KingC. Soon I release both KingC and Kyrogre and they head off to their respective homes. Now that that's done, there was one thing left to do, challenge the final gym leader. After healing my team, I head to the gym and see that Wallace, along with Steven, Lewis, Brandon, and April were all standing in front of the entrance.

Wallace walks up and starts patting me on the back. "Congrats TM, you were able to stop the two titans from sending the worlds into chaos."

But then Steven stops Wallace, "Actually it was Rayquaza, all TM did was get him to come here."

"Always have to be a jerk, even in the end, don't you?"

"Don't blame me, I like to blame some outside force."

"Anyways, did you guys come to see me challenge the final gym leader?"

To my slight disappointment, they all said no. Wallace had business to attend to, Steven was being…well Steven, Brandon and April had to get back home, and it was the same for Lewis. Oh well, at least I still have my team with me. After saying their goodbyes, they leave, and I enter the gym. What I see is a straight path that takes me right to the gym leader, for once a simple gym with simple designs. Guess I spoke too soon, turns out the tile floor was made out of ice. The moment I step on one of them, they would break, causing me to fall into a pit full of trainers. Should've seen that coming. After beating all the trainers, and going through the ice path again, I finally reach the gym leader, and he look way too fancy.

"Impressive, is what I would say to a trainer who would've gotten here much earlier! You make me sick, with your silly American clothes and your American language." Oh great, a French gym leader, and it was bad enough that Skipper insults every pokemon he fights, but now a gym leader, just great! "I see that your Swampert is French, and for that, I will congratulate you."

"Wait, how can you tell he is Skipper is French?"

"It doesn't take an idiot to tell he is French, I can tell that by his pride, he is French!"

"Can we battle now?"

"Americans and their patients. Very well, I accept your challenge, even though it is far beneath me." You know what, I was thinking about playing it safe, but this guy was asking for it! I send out Lavender, Raphael, and Dash to take down all his pokemon. They didn't stand a chance, and he only had one more pokemon left. I guess I was overconfident, for I was not expecting to see him send out a Kingdra! Dash, Raphael, and Dash were tired from beating the other water pokemon, Skipper would be the ideal choice, but then I remember that Kingdra is part dragon, and that's when I made my decision.

"Alright C-Run, I'm counting on you, your are my best choice for this one!"

"Don't worry, you can count on me!" She takes to the field, ready to battle Kingdra. The battle was fierce, Kingdra uses double team to evade all of C-Run's powder snow attack. Try as she might, she couldn't land a single hit on the pokemon. That's when the kingdra begins to attack, shooting multiple ice beams at C-Run, if it wasn't for the fact that she was part ice, Kingdra would've won a long time ago. I was about to switch C-Run, but then I notice a look in her eyes, she had a plan, and I chose to trust her. Suddenly the temperature in the room drops at an alarming rate, I can actually see my own breath. She stars flapping her wings, creating a blizzard. It didn't matter if kingdra used double team, it couldn't dodge a blizzard attack, and soon it was frozen. I went up to C-Run and pat her on the back.

"Great job C-Run. That was very smart using blizzard to stop double team."

"Don't forget, I am Italian."

"And I'm glad that you are. Alright, I won, so you owe me a badge!"

"Fine, but only because it's the rules! If it was my way, no snot nose brat would be allowed to become a trainer!" With that he gives me my eighth and final badge, I can now challenge the pokemon league! We head to the pokemon center and celebrate through the night. Once it's morning, I get supplies, and prepare to leave but suddenly stop. How do I get to the pokemon league?! Just then someone taps me on the shoulder, I turn to see a girl that was about 5'5 tall with dark brown hair, I notice there were some neon streaks in it. I also notice that her hair was in a ponytail. She was wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt with a hood and had black shorts. Next to her was a vaporeon.

"Hey, I'm Cinder, I heard you were looking for the pokemon league."

Her vaporeon had a look of disinterest, "Now Cinder, should you really be helping this lad, he doesn't seem like much too me." By the sound of her voice, I believe she is female and was British, and a rude one at that.

"Christa, we don't pass judgment on others. Sorry about that, she can be a little judgmental sometimes."

"Let me guess, you can understand pokemon?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Let's just say I ran into a few interesting people, so what brings you here?"

"Oh, I came from Jhoto to visit a cousin of mine. So if you know I can understand pokemon, than that must mean you can understand pokemon too!"

"You can say that."

"How?"

"A crazy professor decided to do some tests on me without me knowing."

"That's so funny, because professor Oak and elm were working together, and well they kinda tricked me, now I can understand pokemon." I'm starting to think that all professors are crazy.

"Anyways, by any chance do you know how to get to the pokemon league?"

"Yup, but in order for me to tell you, you have to beat me in a water race! Ready set go!" She uses Christa and they both start surfing away. Figuring I had no choice, me and Skipper soon start to follow her. She kept on making twist and turns, going left, right, even underwater. She then points to a mountain with a waterfall coming down its sides. "You see that?! That's the finish line. First one up the waterfall wins!" Now that me and Skipper know where the finish line is, Skipper decides to kick things up a notch. He starts swimming faster and faster, soon we catch up to Cinder, and just before passing her, I see the look of surprise on her face. We zoom off, leaving her behind, eventually we reached the waterfall and start climbing it to the top. Once we are there, me and Skipper hi five each other. I turn to see that Cinder and Christa had just reach the waterfall.

"There, I won, now will you tell me how to get to the pokemon league?!"

"Nope." She had a huge smile on her face, I was thinking about going down there and beating her in a battle, but then she starts laughing. "You are already there, look behind you!" I turn and to my surprise, I see the entrance to victory road, the path full of strong trainers, tough pokemon, and other obstacles. And at the end of the path, the pokemon league awaits. "You're welcome!" I turn to see that Cinder started to leave, I wave goodbye to her, and then I notice a pokemon center by the entrance. After resting at the center, my team is ready to cross Victory road. But just before entering I bump into someone who was also entering Victory Road.

"Man, I'm sorry about that, wasn't looking where I was going." I help the guy up.

"No problem. The name's Ketsu." The guy was wearing a long black sleeve shirt with black jeans which I notice they had some rips in them. He was also wearing black and white sneakers, but then I notice he had red hair with black tips. Besides him was a typlosion, I haven't seen those pokemon in awhile. "And this is Lily." That's when I notice Alistar looking at Lily, with his tail flame bigger than usual, and it look like to me his face was a darker shade of red, maybe he was having a fever.

"I'm TM, are you here to take on the pokemon league?"

"Nah, I'm from Jhoto, I just came here and heard about this place. I wanted to see what kind of pokemon are in here. Hey, maybe we should stick together, at least until we get past this place."

"Sounds good to me."

With a new companion, we enter the place, and the first thing I see is a maze, full of different paths, multiple pokemon, and strong trainers. If anything, now would be the perfect time to train. After taking two steps I encounter a kingdra, in fact this was the very same kingdra from the eighth gym leader.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"After the battle, my trainer thought of me as a failure, so he left me here." By the sound of her voice I notice she was female.

"Well, would you like to join my pokemon, I have a full team right now, but there are a whole bunch of pokemon in the storage who will be more than happy to welcome you."

"That would be nice."

"Great, and since you are female, I will call you Queendra, much better than kingdra."

"Queendra…I like the name." I tap her with a pokeball and send her to storage. It's sad how there are trainers who would abandon their pokemon like that.

With that me and Ketsu continue forward. After fighting off countless pokemon, one where I saw another Raikou, beating multiple trainers, and crossing many obstacles. Me and Ketsu see the exit, we start making our way towards it when suddenly, a certain green haired boy steps in front of us.

"Hey TM, it's me Wally, since last time, I have gotten much stronger. If you want to get out of here, you need to beat me right here, right now!"

"Really Wally, after half my team is exhausted from fighting other trainers, you expect me to fight you right now?"

"Wally seems like he just pulled a troll on you."

"A what?"

"Oh nothing, just fight him so we can get out of here."

"Alright then, Wally you want a battle, I'm going to give you one you won't forget!" He starts things off by sending in an Altaria. "What the heck Wally, last time we battle, you only had a male ralts, now you have a overpowered team? That makes no sense!"

"I told you TM, troll."

"Not now Ketsu, okay Wally, guess I won't be going easy on you!" I send out C-Run, and her blizzard attack freezes the dragon bird on spot. "One down, four to go!" He next sends out magnatons, and Skipper uses Earthquake to instantly KO the pokemon. "Seriously, where did you get these pokemon?" He ignores the question as he sends out Roselia, it was Alistar's time to shine. He was about to attack when he notices that Lily was rooting for him, suddenly he gains a huge burst of power and overheats the roselia into ashes. "Um…Al, I think you overdid it." Anyways, Wally then sends out Delcatty, and I counter with Lavender. Her fist starts to glow, and she dashes towards the pokemon with an alarming speed, and delivers a powerful dynamic punch. "Way to go Lavender. Looks like you got one more pokemon Wally."

"Then you should know who it is!" He sends out a gardivoir, except this one was male. Me and everyone else start laughing, again, I feel sorry for the poor pokemon.

"Alright Dash, ready to finish this?!"

"Finally it's my turn!" He starts things off with a thunderbolt, the attack pushes the gardivoir back, but "he" still had some fight in him left. He then hits Dash with a powerful psychic attack, which sends him crashing into the wall. But just like gardivoir, Dash wasn't done either. Charging up as much energy he can, he unleashes a powerful thunderbolt attack at gardivior, it was an instant KO!

"Wow, looks like I still have a long way to go. Well good luck TM, and one of these days, I will beat you!"

With that we finally make it out of Victory road, and up ahead I see the pokemon league. Unfortunately this is where Ketsu leaves, saying that he had important business to attend to. Before going, I notice Al and Lily talking a bit, but then they finally leave. I decide now would be a time to rest for the night. After healing up, I rent a room and everyone falls down from exhaustion. As I am laying down in the bed, I begin to recount all that has happen to me since I moved here. To meeting Locsite, to fighting team aqua for the first time, to when Nelipot died, to when I defeated my father, all the way to when I was face to face with Rayquaza. I still find it hard to believe that I made it all the way here. But I'm not done yet, I still need to take on the pokemon league, said to have the four strongest pokemon trainers in all of Hoenne. Then I started remembering all the interesting people I have met so far, Dakota, Chris, Jason, Jesse, Brandon, April, Lewis, Cinder, Ketsu and so many more others. With that final thought I finally fall asleep.

Now before anyone of you start telling me, "you shouldn't have done this" or "thanks, but I was unnecessary" "ect." I will tell you now it was my choice, so I don't give a hoot about it. Now one last surprise for everyone. Since tomorrow will most likely be the last chapter, and the end of this story, I want everyone to do something. Now you can either review this or pm this, you don't need an account to do this. Usually I would ask you a question at the end of the chapter, this time you get to ask the question! That's right, if you have any question, you can ask Skipper, Lavender, Raphael, Dash, Alistar, or C-Run. Note that all of your questions may not be answered, so please don't be mad if they don't show up in the next chapter. Also, don't forget to leave a review, I notice that I almost have 100 reviews, something I thought would never be possible for me since I joined fanfiction. It would be a great gift from you readers before I go. (If some of you are wandering what I mean, check the last chapter of my other story, "The calm before the storm" it will explain what I mean) Now I don't want to keep stalling you guys, so I am off!
