Theme Song
You're on your journey with your friends from the start (shows the group walking down a road together laughing)
There will be bonding and broken hearts (Owen puts his arm over Brooklyn's shoulder)
The power inside will make us strive... (Charizard starts to Mega Evolve)
For greatness! (Split screen of Owen at the Kalos League and Daniel and Brooklyn at the Grand Festival)
Put in the work and you will go far (Haunter evolves, Gengar's face is covered in shadows and she throws a Shadow Ball at the camera)
But what happens when we're torn apart? (Ariel and Blaziken look up at the moon)
A threat will rise, but we'll realize (Frank and Dragonite squaring off with Owen and Charizard)
We can do it together... Pokemon! (Group stands together with their Pokemon)
What's up, everyone? This is going to be a short chapter, as it'll be centered around Team Grim and Frank, with nothing else really happening. So, Owen won his fifth badge last chapter and Tyrunt evolved, and Brooklyn and Daniel will be aiming to win the Lumiose Contest next chapter. Also, this chapter takes place after Chapter 43. Let's get going!

Later that night
"How many people have you gotten so far?" Frank asked Spike as the latter walked into Frank's office on the carrier. Spike shrugged and ran his finger down a list he was holding, but he stopped when Viviana walked in with several other members, who all had tattoos on their arms and were wearing black hoods.
"Lord Frank, these are some new recruits that want to come with us to Lumiose," the woman informed her superior, who stood up and circled the six new members. After stopping and running his hand through his black hair, Frank pointed at two of them and motioned for them to step forward. They did so without hesitation, and Frank grinned.
"These two will come with us. I need the rest of you to stay here and make sure nobody gets on this ship," the leader stated as he sat back down in his chair. The four other members nodded and walked out of the room, along with the two that had been accepted, and Spike closed the doors behind them.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Viviana exclaimed as she took a stack of papers out of her bag. She then placed them on Frank's desk and smiled as the man quickly flipped through the dozens of pages. "Your speech for today is the first three paragraphs on the first page. Are you sure you want to do this so soon?" the woman asked.
"I have to if I want to take that kid down. Speaking of getting rid of people, have you been working on Project Liberation?" Frank quizzed as he looked at Spike and Viviana. The two nodded excitedly, bringing a smug grin to Frank's face as he rose from his chair. He looked at the glass window and let out a deep breath as Dragonite flew into the room and landed next to his master. "What about Grim Reversion? The dev team told me they were working on a way to unlock a second stage."
"Yeah, we're keeping a close eye on it, and it's ready for use. All you need is this," Viviana said to Frank as she pulled out a stone that was black and purple, and she walked over to Dragonite. The dragon type watched as Viviana strapped a bracelet on his wrist and put the stone in the bracelet. She then gave Frank a bracelet that resembled a Mega Bracelet, and he hooked it around his wrist.
"Prism Tower is in sight. We should be there in five minutes," a voice stated over intercom. Frank nodded at the news and continued to stare out the glass before he spotted Prism Tower. Its beauty was captivating, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Frank!" Spike shouted, making the man turn around. "I asked if we should make the announcement now," Spike informed the man, who had just zoned out like nobody's business. Frank looked over at his Dragonite, who nodded in response.
"Okay, let's take the airwaves. I'll start rehearsing, so let me know when you can get me on," Frank told his two admins, who nodded and hurried out of the room. The thirty three year old man turned back to the window and placed his hand on Dragonite's shoulder while staring at Prism Tower. "Beauty is a dangerous thing, Dragonite."
"Nite," Dragonite agreed as he laid down underneath his master's feet, thinking about the trainers he was going to kill.
"I'm coming for you, Owen Plateau," Frank said to himself as he continued staring at Prism Tower. "And the entire Kalos region will help me end you."
Like I said, this was a very short chapter, but it sets the tone for rest of the arc. There will be a massive battle coming up soon, but it's more of a teaser for the battles later in the story involving Team Grim. Till next time, peace out.
1) Who do you think will win the Lumiose Contest? (Olivia will be there, but Larenz won't)
2) What the heck does Stage 2 Grim Reversion do?
Next Chapter: "Hit the Lights!": The Lumiose Contest throws a curveball when a strange rule mixes up the competition. Will Brooklyn finally be able to win her first ribbon in Kalos, or will Daniel qualify for the Grand Festival?
