Welcome back to another chapter of Kalos Adventure, and the finale of the Cyllage Arc. Next up will be the Shalour Arc, which is going to be way more action packed and entertaining than the previous two. Last chapter, Owen defeated Grant thanks to Butterfree's two K.O's and Frogadier defeating Tyrunt. This chapter will be about Team Grim attempting to steal Pokemon from Glittering Cave, and that's about it, so let's get going!
midnightrebellion86: Thanks, and that definitely could happen
guest: I can confirm that Mega Evolution will be introduced to Owen, though I'm happy to see you mentioned the indirect titles (which I do put a fair amount of thought into so it's not blatantly obvious what the chapter is about)
Emboar-Man (guest): I like the predictions, though Owen won't be battling Ramos because there is only one gym battle per each arc. And the idea of the fairy type being caught is interesting, but he won't be catching one until chapter 50-60, if I keep up the pace I want
Soon to be real (guest): Brooklyn getting Hawlucha is a very real possibility, and it certainly could happen. And thanks for the compliment, I think my early stories were just a lack of effort (and not really knowing how to puncture :P)
Owen's team
Frogadier, (m), level 23, Pound, Lick, Round, Quick Attack, Water Pulse*, Smokescreen*
Charizard, (m), level 70, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Seismic Toss, Blast Burn, Aerial Ace*, ?*
Butterfree, (f), level 34, Tackle, Silver Wind, Psybeam, Gust, Poison Powder*, Sleep Powder*
Pikachu, (m), level 23, Thundershock, Quick Attack, Thunderbolt, Nuzzle, Electro Ball*, Double Team*
Frogadier slowly opened his eyes to see Owen holding up his second badge to the light and examining it closely. Pikachu and Butterfree were already awake and were also inspecting the piece of metal, but they turned their attention to Frogadier when he rose to his feet and yawned.
"It's about time you woke up, Frogadier," Owen said to his starter with a stupid grin. Charizard, who was standing against the wall with his arms crossed laughed at the joke and so did Butterfree and Pikachu. "Everyone's waiting for us over by the Rhyhorn tours, let's go!" Owen shot up from his bed in the Pokemon Center and sprinted out of the building with his four Pokemon chasing after him.
After several minutes of running, Owen met up with his friends and withdrew all four of his Pokemon.
"Why do we have to ride these beasts?" Cindy interrogated the two older teens as she was sitting on top of a gigantic Rhyhorn. The rock rhino began to flail violently in spite of the obnoxious girl on his back, and she screamed in terror of being launched through the air.
"Because we want to see all of Kalos," Brooklyn shot back. "I haven't been outside of Unova, so I'd like to be exposed to the world," she continued before hopping onto a Rhyhorn.
"What about Owen? He's been through every other region! Why can't you do this by yourself?" Cindy chastised as Owen and Eddy hopped onto their Rhyhorn and they began to walk on the dangerously sharp ground. There wasn't a guide on duty for the day, so the group only had to rent the Rhyhorn and they could roam around the rocky path.
"I didn't really spend too much time checking everything out. All I did was try to get my eight badges as fast as possible," Owen answered, unintentionally defending Brooklyn. "I don't get why you're even mad, aren't you not from Kalos?"
"No, but Eddy is, and he doesn't want to do this."
"That's not true," Eddy stated while petting the Rhyhorn he was sitting on. The rock and ground type smiled at the kind child, and Eddy laughed at the kind Rhyhorn. "I always wanted to do this, but my parents never let me." Cindy muttered under her breath after hearing Eddy's response, but it was inaudible. As they continued riding the Rhyhorn along the harsh road, everyone looked to their right and gazed at the beautiful forest beneath the cliff.
"There's nothing that could ruin this day," Eddy remarked with a smile.

"Where are the fossil Pokemon!?" a woman in her thirties shouted as she threw a nerdy man against the wall inside a bright cave, which was illuminated by glowing crystals along the walls.
"I'll never tell you," the man wearing a spotless white lab coat squeaked as he was pushed against the wall even harder. A smirk appeared along the woman's face as she continued to hold the man by his collar, and she started laughing.
"We know you already revived them, it's only a matter of time before we find out where they are. Why don't you just make it easy on everyone and tell us where Tyrunt and Amaura are?" she asked with a devilish look. The man replied by spitting on her face, enraging the woman wearing a black uniform with a skull and crossbones on her chest.
As she ordered two goons to beat up the scientist, two Pokemon were hiding in the shadows, trembling with fear.

"We already reached the end of the tour? This was a waste of money!" Cindy screamed in rage as she hopped off her Rhyhorn and kicked a rock on the safe ground. Owen, Brooklyn, and Eddy all got off their Rhyhorn and patted the three Pokemon on the head before walking over to Cindy.
"Cindy, you didn't even pay. Owen paid for all of us," Brooklyn hissed while Owen looked down at his significantly lighter wallet and sighed. "Besides, we can explore these caves!" the blonde exclaimed as she walked towards an entrance to a strange cave.
"Hmm… this place is called Glittering Cave and is one of the most explored caves in all of Kalos. I want to check it out!" Eddy shrieked before booting towards the entrance and running inside.
"Eddy, wait up!" Owen and Brooklyn shouted like parents as they ran after the eight year old. Cindy rolled her eyes at the actions of all three and she walked into the cave with an attitude. As Eddy continued running, he made several random turns, leaving Owen and Brooklyn in the dust and worried about his wellbeing. After deciding to take a left, the two fifteen year olds found Eddy at a dead end, where he was frowning.
"Where are all of the Pokemon? They're supposed to be crawling all over the place," the youngster asked while pouting. Shortly after he did, Cindy waltzed over with a disgruntled expression.
"Maybe something made them all hide. Oh well, I guess there's no reason to be here," she groaned before turning to walk away. She was stopped, however, by Brooklyn grabbing her by the collar of her shirt and pulling her back.
"We're going to find some Pokemon, Eddy. Right, Owen?" Brooklyn quizzed.
"That's right! Come on, Eddy, let's go find some cool Pokemon!" Owen shouted as he called Frogadier and Charizard out of their Pokeballs. The two starters followed Owen and the three other humans as they aimlessly walked through the cave, searching for a Pokemon. To their surprise, not a single Pokemon appeared in the nearly thirty minutes they spent walking around, but Eddy was determined to find some.
"Why can't we just go. There's obviously no Pokemon in here, or they're trying to avoid us," Cindy complained.
"Shut up! For the love of all that's holy, shut up!" Brooklyn shouted as she got in Cindy's face. "I'm tired of you're complaining! If you want to go, be my guest and leave!"
"Fine!" Cindy screamed before turning around and storming off by herself. Before Owen or Eddy could say anything, Brooklyn began to drag them in the opposite direction, not giving them an opportunity to speak up.
As she walked by herself, Cindy cursed under her breath for the majority of her walk, rarely stopping to breathe. After initially being confident that she could find her way out of the cave, Cindy soon found that she was lost with no idea where she was headed.
"Damnit! I knew we shouldn't have gone in here," she spat, walking down a different route, which led to a large room where a few strange people in black suits were searching for something. Before she could turn around to leave, a large man spotted her and alerted the other people he was with.
"Hey, we've got a rat!" he screamed while pointing at Cindy.
"Wait wait wait! I'll just leave, I don't even know what you're doing!" Cindy shouted at the five large men. Before she could run, the men grabbed her, and a woman wearing a black uniform slowly walked over with an annoyed look on her face.
"Do you know where the fossil Pokemon on hiding?" she interrogated, staring through Cindy's soul.
"Help!"
000
"Stupid Cindy. She really knows how to get on peoples' nerves," Brooklyn ranted as she, Owen, and Eddy roamed around the cave, still in pursuit of any Pokemon, but they had yet to find one.
"Yeah yeah yeah, so, Eddy, what kind of Pokemon do you want to see?" Owen asked, hoping it was something that wasn't rare.
"I don't know, just something cool," the child responded easily with a stupid grin. Owen gave an unnoticeable sigh of relief, knowing that if they even stumbled upon a stupid Zubat, Eddy would've been content. Thinking about the fact that they had yet to encounter a Zubat, though, was unsettling to say the least. Subtly, two figures began to move in the shadows and Eddy was about to say something, but a cry for help echoed through the cave.
"Help!"
Owen, Eddy, Brooklyn, Frogadier, and Charizard turned as they heard Cindy's voice echo through the cave, and they immediately ran towards the desperate pleas. As soon as they ran, the two creatures stepped out of the shadows and looked at each other before nodding and running after the trainers. After several minutes of running and hearing Cindy screaming for help, the three trainers arrived in a large room where five large men were holding Cindy.
"Hey, let her go!" Owen shouted as he pointed at the men. All five laughed at the fifteen year old's demand, but they stopped when the woman who had hit the scientist earlier walked out from the shadows. She was wearing similar styled clothes to that of the Team Grim members Owen had encountered outside of Lumiose, but he didn't say anything about it.
"We will as soon as we find out where the fossil Pokemon are. Now hand them over," the woman demanded. She had dark brown hair and dark skin, her tone slicing through the air like a knife.
"What are you even talking about?" Owen asked in confusion, not understanding why she'd assume he had a fossil Pokemon with him. "Never mind," he muttered, realizing he was bound to battle the woman. "Charizard, let's do this," Owen said to his trusty starter, who gladly stepped forward and roared at the woman. For some reason, the woman turned to stare at the five large men that looked like bouncers, and then she smirked at Owen as she took a Pokeball off her belt and held it straight out.
"I've heard things about you, kid, and you're not stopping us from getting these Pokemon. Machamp, let's go!" Charizard's eyes flashed as the woman's Machamp appeared and began flexing, showing off his power. Charizard slowly cracked his knuckles, displaying how pumped he was for the battle. Owen smirked at the Machamp's confidence, knowing that the Pokemon was in for a rude awakening.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Charizard reared back and unleashed a wave of orange flames that engulfed Machamp, and the bulky Pokemon grunted in pain before dropping to one knee. Charizard scoffed at the fighting type's status, driving Machamp to stand up and mask his pain, though Charizard was able to see through the fake confidence.
"Machamp, Cross Chop!" the woman commanded. Machamp ran towards Charizard while his four arms were glowing white, prompting Owen to issue another command for Charizard, who was more than ready to attack.
"Now use Aerial Ace!" Charizard zipped forwards while streaks of light stemmed from his face, and the two attacks collided and battled back. Both Pokemon pushed each other before a wave of force sent them skidding back to their trainers, and they continued their battle while the five men holding Cindy, Brooklyn, and Eddy watched. Frogadier, meanwhile, wasn't because he was focused on a presence outside the room, though he wasn't sure what it was.
"Use Focus Punch, Machamp!" Machamp stood still while his left arms began to glow light blue, and he closed his eyes while taking a deep breath. The concentration was evident,, and Owen knew he had to attack the large Pokemon to prevent the attack.
"Charizard, hold nothing back with Blast Burn!" Charizard's stomach began to glow bright red and he fired a horizontal tornado of fire towards his opponent. Somehow, the woman working for Team Grim was quick to counter, shocking Owen and Charizard.
"Dodge it and use Submission!" Machamp leaped over the wave of flames and he put Charizard in a chokehold. The winged lizard was unable to dodge the attack because he had to recharge after his Blast Burn, and he struggled to break free from Machamp's grasp. He began clawing at Machamp's arms, drawing blood, but the fighting type refused to let go.
"Charizard, hang in there!" Owen shouted as he ran towards Machamp, hoping to pry him off Charizard. He was stopped, though, when a blur flew by him and jumped forward.
"Runt!" the blur cried out before biting Machamp, forcing the fighting type to let go of Charizard, who turned around and punched Machamp in the face, knocking him onto the ground.
"What was that?" Brooklyn asked in confusion. Before anyone could respond, a second Pokemon appeared and released a wave of ice that froze Machamp in a block of ice, rendering him useless. Once that happened, the two Pokemon stood by Charizard's side and glared at the six Team Grim members, intimidating all of them.
"Consider yourself lucky for now, kid. The next time we meet, things are going to be different," the woman said as she withdrew Machamp back to his that, the men let go of Cindy, and they all threw smoke balls at the ground, blinding Owen and the others. Once the smoke cleared, the fiends were gone, but the two random Pokemon remained.
"Woah, those are a Tyrunt and Amaura!" Eddy screamed in shock before falling over. The two Pokemon turned to face Owen and they smiled before receiving a thankful pat on the back from Charizard.
"Are those the fossils they were talking about?" Cindy quizzed as she walked over to the others, prompting Owen and Brooklyn to take out their Pokedexes.
"Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokemon. Its immense jaws have enough destructive force that it can chew up an automobile. It lived 100 million years ago."
"Amaura, the Tundra Pokemon. his calm Pokemon lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators like Tyrantrum." The two Pokedexes stated while Eddy and Frogadier played with the two prehistoric Pokemon.
"You two should totally catch them! You could both use new Pokemon," Eddy told Owen and Brooklyn, who looked at each other before shrugging.
"Eddy's right, I need to get some more Pokemon, and Tyrunt looks really strong," Owen thought to himself while scratching his chin and looking off into the distance.
"Amaura seems like she'd be a really good for contests, and she looks confident, too! I'm totally going to catch her," Brooklyn thought while looking down at the ice and rock type.
"Tyrunt, do you want to join my team? I think we'd make an awesome team!" Owen proclaimed while bending down to talk to the rock and dragon type. Tyrunt looked at Frogadier and Charizard, both of whom were nodding, and he smiled before biting Owen's head, causing him to scream. "I'll take that as a yes."
"What about you, Amaura? How do you feel about joining me for competing in contests?" Brooklyn quizzed, hoping the Pokemon would say yes. Amaura nodded emphatically, prompting Brooklyn to throw a Pokeball at her while Owen tapped a Pokeball against Tyrunt. Both of the spherical devices hit the ground and began to shake back and forth slowly.

Ping!
Both trainers picked up the Pokeball in front of them, and they hoisted the objects over their heads before clipping them on their belts.

After making their way back to the Pokemon Center, the group sat in their room and began packing for their trip to Shalour City, which was where Owen's next gym battle was, and so was Brooklyn's contest.
"Ya know, with Tyrunt on the team, we're gonna win our next gym battle!" Owen told Frogadier and Charizard, who both nodded in agreement.
"And with Amaura, there's no way we're walking away empty-handed from our contest," Brooklyn told Fennekin and Smeargle, who also nodded. Both trainers looked over at Eddy and Cindy, who were waiting by the door, and they got up to leave.
"Next stop, Geosenge Town!"
Damn, that chapter was poorly done, so I'd like to apologize for that. I hope the additions of Tyrunt and Amaura offset the chapter, though. Now, the gang is headed off towards Geosenge Town to get to Shalour, where a lot of stuff is going to happen. Till next time, peace out.
1) Do you like the additions of Tyrunt and Amaura?
Next Chapter: Hawlucha the Wild Warrior: As the group stops in Geosenge Town, they learn about a rogue Pokemon, Hawlucha, wreaking havoc on the town. After learning this, Owen sets out to defeat the Pokemon. Will he be able to stop Hawlucha and save Geosenge Town?
