Out in the middle of the woods in the middle of night, all the pokemon were sleeping peacefully. That didn't last very long. All the pokemon in the woods heard a strange noise. The Pidove were all disturbed and flew away with a green wave flowing through the woods. When you looked closely, it was a wave made entirely out of Solosis.

Pokémon!
It's a battle, win or lose
It's the friends you make, it's the road you choose
You've got the right stuff
So make your mind up
Find the courage inside of you
If you're strong you'll survive
And you'll keep your dream alive
Let the battle begin
Pokémon!
Be the best you can be
And find your destiny
It's the master plan
The power's in your hand
Pokémon!

(Ichigo's Voice) Going Solo-Solosis

Our heroes have finally arrived in Sakanda City. This is where Ichigo is planning to win his fourth badge.

"Wow! Sakanda City looks amazing." Orihime said as she loved seeing all the buildings.

"Sakanda City is famous for some of its fortunetelling stands." Rukia said.

"Fortunetelling? Come on. There's no way that fortunetelling stuff is actually true." Ichigo denied. "Besides, we're here for only one reason. We're looking for the Sakanda Gym, remember?"

"I know. You don't have to remind me." Rukia said. "The gym is held at a place known as Sakanda Tower. It's a famous tower around here on the edge of the city and it's surrounded by water."

"Sakanda Tower? Absol, are you ready for another gym battle?" Ichigo said.

"Absol." Absol was all set to go. All of them got to walking and they were able to find the tower being a large purple one surrounded by water with a bridge that connected it to the land.

"We're here. That fourth badge is all mine." Ichigo said as he was ready for a battle. However, Orihime looked over to the side and saw something that caught her attention.

"Wow! Look at all those pokemon!" Orihime said as she ran to an open field and there were pokemon all around and they were all psychic-types.

"Orihime, what are you doing?" Rukia said.

"I guess she wants to see all those pokemon." Chad said. Orihime ran on the field and was happy to see pokemon she hasn't seen before.

"Amazing! They all look amazing!" Orihime said, but when she took a step on the grass, none of the pokemon looked happy to see her and she was getting nervous. "Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" All the pokemon used psychic powers on her and lifted her off the ground.

"Orihime!" Rukia shouted.

"Hey! Put her down!" Ichigo demanded. None of them listened and sent Orihime flying and scared all her friends. However, something appeared behind her and saved her as Orihime was caught and her savior carried her back to her friends. "Orihime, are you hurt?"

"No. I'm fine thanks to who saved me." Orihime said as they all looked to see who it was, but they thought it was a little strange. "Is that a pokemon?"

"A Claydol." Rukia said.

"Claydol!"

"Good work, Claydol." All of them looked up on a building and saw a guy hanging on a flagpole. He wore and orange dress shirt with black trousers and tie with blonde hair and they could see his upper teeth. "You really should be more careful, sweetheart." The stranger jumped down and landed near them.

"I take it this is your Claydol." Rukia said.

"Thank you for saving me." Orihime said.

"Sure, but you should know better. That opened field is like the only place where psychic-types belonging to some trainers can clear their minds in peace. They don't like to be disturbed."

"Makes sense. Psychic-types mostly like all-knowing." Rukia said. "It makes sense that they would want a quiet place to like meditate."

"By the way, Shinji."

"Excuse me?" Ichigo said.

"It's rude not to ask for names. My name is Shinji."

"Shinji?" Rukia questioned as she was trying to think.

"Is something wrong?" Chad asked.

"I feel like I should know that name." Rukia said.

"Thanks for the help, but I'm going to challenge the gym right now." Ichigo said.

"No you can't. The gym leader is taking a day off today." Shinji said.

"What? A day off?" Ichigo said.

"What's the big deal? Everyone needs a day off every once in a while." Shinji said and started walking. "If there are psychic-types you want to go look at, go to the pokemon center. There's a Reuniclus there that doesn't mind a few visitors."

"A Reuniclus?" Orihime said.

"Since the gym is closed, how about we go take a look." Rukia said.

"Sure. I'm interested." Ichigo said. Since they had nothing else planned, all of them decided to take a look at the Reuniclus that's at the pokemon center and it didn't take them long until they got there.

"Hello, Nurse Joy." All of them said.

"Hi and welcome." Nurse Joy said.

"Nurse Joy, is there really a Reuniclus here? We love to see it." Orihime said.

"Of course." Nurse Joy said. She led them all to a backroom. They all looked through a window and saw a Reuniclus sleeping.

"What is it doing here?" Ichigo asked.

"This Reuniclus was caught in a terrible storm a couple days ago." Nurse Joy said. "It should be free to leave at any moment now."

"I'll say this much. That is one weird looking pokemon." Ichigo said. They couldn't admire the Reuniclus before as they heard a siren going off.

"Attention! This is a state of emergency. Stay indoors."

"What's going on?" Chad wondered.

"Only one way to find out." Ichigo said as he and Absol made a run for the door and the others followed. Ichigo and the others all ran outside to try to learn what the situation is. All of them looked through the city and they saw some sort of green wave.

"What was that?" Rukia asked.

"We're not going to learn anything if we just stand here." Ichigo said and all of them went to check it out. All of them arrived downtown and saw it was being attacked by the green wave.

"Hang on. All of those are Solosis." Rukia said. All of the Solosis seemed mad and was attacking everything. Some of the Solosis spotted them and attacked with a Psyshock.

"Absol!" Absol stepped in and took all the attacks. When he landed down, he was unharmed and used Dark Pulse to push them back.

"How come Absol wasn't hurt?" Orihime asked.

"Dark-types aren't affected by psychic-type attacks." Rukia said. More of the Solosis showed up and Absol was ready for battle.

"Absol, no. There's too many of them." Ichigo said. The Solosis attacked them and they all made a run for it. "I wonder if this has anything to do with that Reuniclus."

"It is possible. Reuniclus is the final evolve form of Solosis." Rukia said.

"We better get back to the pokemon center and have these Solosis understand that Reuniclus is hurt." Orihime said. All of them hurried back to the pokemon center and went back in the room Reuniclus is in.

"What's going on?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Nurse Joy, there's a bunch of Solosis outside and we think they're looking for this Reuniclus. You've got to let us take it out of here or else all those Solosis are going to destroy everything." Ichigo said.

"Okay. This is a serious situation." Nurse Joy said. "Reuniclus should be good to go as soon as it wakes up. Let's just hope that it isn't long." All of them understood and got running with Reuniclus. Some of the Solosis spotted them and got running.

"Looks like we were right. The Solosis are after this Reuniclus." Rukia said.

"They must have thought Nurse Joy stole it or something." Ichigo said. "They must not understand that it was hurt and Nurse Joy was only trying to help."

"Solosis, please understand that Reuniclus is hurt and we're only trying help." Orihime said, but it seemed like none of them were listening to reason. "What are we going to do until Reuniclus wakes up?"

"We'll have to lure all those Solosis outside of the city. It's all we can do." Ichigo said.

"Not really. I've got this." All of them looked behind them and saw Shinji with his Claydol getting in the way of the Solosis. "I do hate interfering in other people's business, but I can't ignore it. Claydol use Trick Room and contain all those Solosis."

"Claydol!" Claydol created a magical barrier that trapped all the Solosis inside.

"What's that?" Orihime said.

"Trick Room usually causes the slowest pokemon to move faster, but I never knew you could use it like that." Rukia said.

"That's part of my style. I like to put things in reverse of what they're really suppose to do. What's going on around here exactly?" Shinji asked.

"All those Solosis are upset because they think we stole this Reuniclus, but they don't get that Nurse Joy was only trying to help it." Ichigo said.

"I see. You took a big risk by carrying that thing around." Shinji said. "If that is what they are after, why are you holding on to it?"

"If I didn't do something, they probably would have destroyed the entire city." Ichigo said.

"Risking yourself for an entire city? You're really something." Shinji said with a smile as he had high respect for that. It took a little bit of time, but Reuniclus awoke and was feeling great.

"Reuniclus!" Upon Reuniclus' wakening all of the Solosis calmed down as well.

"I'm glad to see they're all acting better." Orihime said.

"It is great thing to see." Nurse Joy said. "Reuniclus, you take great care of yourself."

"Reuniclus!" Reuniclus understood and leaving with all the Solosis with it back with all its friends.

"Shinji, thanks for helping us out." Ichigo said.

"Don't mention it. So are you still planning to challenge the gym tomorrow?" Shinji asked.

"Yeah." Ichigo said.

"I'm sure he'll gladly take your challenge." Shinji said as he and his Claydol started walking again. Rukia still tried to figure out where she heard Shinji's name before.

"Shinji with a Claydol?" Rukia questioned and it finally came to her. "That's it!" All of them turned their attention to her. "Shinji is the psychic-type gym leader of the Sakanda Gym." That information was a surprise to all of them.

"I'll see you at the gym." Shinji said as he was looking forward to this battle.

Upon helping out some angry Solosis and an injured Reniclus, our heroes have met Shinji the gym leader. What kind of battle can we expect out of this one? We'll just have to stay tune to find out.
