"Indeed, don't want to hurt anyone while we are fighting each other." "Yes, don't want to hurt any bystanders… so who is first to start?" "My youngest sister Rita." "I choose Alida to battle her… let's go sit in the bleachers." Astral walks silently with Aaron to the bleachers. "You okay Aaron… you look tired." "I'm fine… they are stronger than I thought." "Don't push yourself…" Astral tries using his aura to help his dad out.

"Don't! Not when we are so close to them… I'll be fine son." Astral stops using his aura. "Hey there I'm Bonny, the lopunny, and today we have a team battle going down! First up is Rita, a ralts, vs, Alida, a pidgeot… let's battle!" "Aerial ace." "Double team." "Oh a nice dodge with double team." "Darn, which is the real one?" "Psychic." "Ahhh… air slash!" "Teleport." "Grr…" Astral looks on with hope that everything will be alright.

"Confusion." "Fly." "Where did Alida go?" Rita looks around in the sky her illusions drop as she keeps looking. "Brave bird!" "Ahhh!" "Whoa, Alida mega evolved and hit Rita with brave bird, but it also hurt herself." Astral cringes a little. "Air slash!" "AHHH!" "Is Rita down for the count?" The smoke clears to show Rita feinted. "Looks like she is… Alida wins." Astral freezes nudging Aaron, he nods as he says, "Nice battle Aes nudging Aaron, he nods as he saysbird, but it also hurt herself."a, a pidgeot...lida… let's go patch you up."

"Thank you Aaron." In the healing wing… "So felt anything son?" "Yes." "It probably wasn't much… it was only the smallest lock after all… Alida your wing…" "It's okay..." "It's not okay… you broke it." Astral whimpers, "Will it heal okay?" "It will heal fine… it just will need to be put into a special cast is all..." "Okay." Astral said calming down. "I won't be flying anytime soon though…" "How did you break it?"

"That Rita hit it with confusion… it broke when I used brave bird." "That explains why your air slash was so weak." "Yeah I hope nothing else happens like this." Astral couldn't help thinking… weak?! That air slash took Rita out! I hate to see how strong it really is. "Who is next to fight?" "Let's go and find out…" "Next up is Laila, a kirlia, vs, Thora, an ampharos." Aaron whispers, "One down, two to go." Astral thinks, two more then we can finally end this.

'Isn't there four of them though?' "Oh yeah! What about Sophia?" "She will be last, I meant two more psyche locks you're your own aura become stronger, strong enough to put up this aura spell yourself." "Oh okay, I understand." "Astral while you're in this spell you can talk to me… no one else will hear you but me." "I will remember that." "Let the battle begin!" "Double team." "Charge… that little illusion trick won't work on me! Discharge!"

"Ahhh…" Astral, "Yes, take that!" "Psyshock." "Electro ball." "Teleport." Thora looks around then focuses on a sport with a smile. Astral, "What is she looking at?" "She is using the electric charge Laila has..." "What?" "She is pinpointing where Laila will teleport to next… by using the electric charge she has." Just then Laila teleported in the spot Thora was watching. "Thunder punch!" "Whoa Thora mega evolved and predicted where Laila was going to appear next."

"Then she hit her with a thunder punch!" "Let's end this… charge!" "Psychic!" "Electro ball!" "AHHH!" Zapping. "And she is out for the count, Thora wins!" "Let's get you some medical care Thora." "Thanks Aaron." Astral whispers, "You did good." In the medical wing… "Agh… that hurts!" "If you didn't move so much it won't!" Astral touches Thora's arm and said, "Calm down." "I'm okay… it just hurts to get recharged like this… AHHH… gentle please."

"I'm sorry but this is as low as the voltage can go… you know it will rise soon so you will have to grin and bare it." "I know but… ouch… I hate doing… ouch… this. Ouch!" Astral calmly sings a song softly. "Thanks Astral… but I'm afraid soft songs won't help me… I just haven't been charged like this in years." "Just thought I'd try." She smiles. "So son, feel any different now that the medium psyche lock is gone?"

"A bit more than before." "Good… one left you're your power is half complete… the other half though… it still will be locked behind the giant lock." "Oh, I kind of get it." "Yes you see… each lock holds a part of your aura. Rita's psyche lock held only 6.25% of your aura power, Laila's psyche lock held 12.5%, Gina's psyche lock holds 25%, you understand?" "Yes although it makes me realize I'm bad at math." I'm not."

"You already had 6.25you're your own aura before we started this unlocking thing. Add it with 6.25% and 12.5% to get 25%. Now you understand?" "Yes." "When we unlock Gina's psyche lock you will get 25% more of your power, which is?" "50%" "Yes… Sophia is the other 50%... let's go the next match is starting soon." "Next up is Gina, a gardevoir, vs, Cerberus, a houndoom." Aaron whispered, "This is it… Sophia looks mad."

"I know she looks like she's going to self-destruct." "I don't think they can learn that move." Aaron said with a chuckle. Astral laughs, "Well let's see what this match brings." "Let the battle begin!" "Double team." "Flamethrower." "Teleport." "Flame charge!" "Ahhh…" "Crunch." "Disarming Voice!" "Cover your ears quickly!" Aaron said covering his ears. "Okay." Astral covers his ears. "AHHH!" "Oh looks like Cerberus's sensitive ears can't handle the move!"

Astral nearly yells out but stops quickly before anything comes out. "What's this? He mega evolved." "Fire blast!" "AHHH!" "Oh that looked like it hurt." "Confusion!" "Flame charge!" "Teleport!" "Grrr…" "Oh looks like blaze was activated." "FIRE BLAST!" "AHHH!" "Whoa… a huge fire ball explosion… and it looks like Gina is down for the count… but Cerberus looks like he's going to pass out… but he wins anyways."

"Come Cerberus… let's get you some medical care." In the medical wing… "First Alida's wing, then Thora's electricity, now Cerberus's health." "All this pain and suffering, all because of me…" "No it's something else… they are purposely taking out our team members." "Why would they do that?" "Don't know… but I do know that the last match will start… Astral keep up that aura shield till the time is right."

"All right." "The final match is Sophia, a mega gardevoir, vs, Aaron, a lucario. Let the battle begin!" "Bone rush." "Moon blast." "Aura sphere." "Teleport." "Earthquake." "Ahhh… nice move…" Astral stares at her heavily. "Your moves though great seem weaker than before Aaron… why is that?" "It's nothing you need to worry about… aura sphere!" "Looks like Aaron mega evolved and hit Sophia with an aura sphere."

"The team is showing off why they are called team mega." "Moon blast!" "AHHH!" "And Aaron is down for the count, Sophia wins." Astral stiffens trying to keep up the aura shield. "Astral… now." Astral focuses his aura hard, calming down than expels it around him. "What's this, a new pokémon member from team mega?" "You want a real challenge try me on for size!" "Have we meet before little absol?" "You can say that Sophia!"

"What will Sophia do?" "Nothing… the battle is over, the other team has won… 3 to 1… come sisters we are leaving." "Are you okay Aaron?" Astral said rushing towards him. "Yes… I'm fine… but you let Sophia go." Back in the study… "Of all the dimwitted…" "Thora…" "Stupid…" "Thora…" "Idiotic…" "Thora!" "Moronic things you can do you let Sophia get away!" "THORA!" "What?!" "Enough!" Astral crying, "He is family!"

"He was fine… your main goal was to defeat Sophia, but you let her go! Don't you get it? Now your powers won't ever be unlocked!" "I WILL FIND HER AND THEN… THEN…" "YOU WON'T! Don't you see...? She'll never come out of hiding… and it's your entire fault!" Astral runs out of the room. "Astral!" Aaron catch's up. "She didn't mean that, she's just cranky because she lost all of her charge…" "I will find her!"

"You can't son… I'm sorry to say you just won't." "I can't stop thinking this is my entire fault…" "It is your fault." "Alida…" "I broke my wing for nothing." "I almost got killed." "Cerberus…" "And I lost all my charge… and for what? You just let them get away." "And where's your family in this?" Astral said crying again. "Astral, son… my family is my life, but I gave you one job and you failed… now we will never find them ever."
