In the throne room, a brown-haired youth wearing a green coat and black trousers with red stripes muttered, "As might have expected of the heroes."
"Wonderful, what interesting experimental material they are," said a man wearing lab coat.
"As expected, not bad," a young brown-haired beautiful woman wearing a white dress and a necklace muttered.
"Interesting, let's see them do better," said a knight wearing black clothing and cape that cover most of his armor.
When Team Fellowship and Caroline were approaching, a drawbridge was lowered. Standing in the way were two armored humanoids equipped with swords. "This is quite a welcome party," Jeffrey spoke with an irony.
The PokeMon and the humanoids charged towards each other. Jeffrey used Dynamic Punch sending those humanoid creatures zooming. The PokeMon then turned to Caroline who was catching up. They proceeded and heard sounds of flapping wings. Pikachu used Thunder on a flying creature bringing it down. The Machop used another Dynamic Punch on another armored humanoid and Gardevoir brained the other with Psychic. As they approached the village, there was a scream. Another armored humanoid managed to drag Caroline down causing the PokeMon to go after it. The humanoid had let her go and charged on Jeffrey. The Machop finished it off with a Dynamic Punch and Caroline got up, "Wait. Take me with you."
Team Fellowship turned to face a pair of humanoids that were not wearing armor and were equipped with blades on their arms. Gardevoir brained one with Psychic and Jeffrey attempted to take on one. The humanoid jumped up into the air and spun. Gardevoir brained it with Psychic before it could attack. The PokeMon took the stairs and saw two flying creatures preparing to swoop. Pikachu took them down with Thunderbolt before they could attack. When the PokeMon reached half-way through the stairs, Jeffrey took out another armored humanoid with Dynamic Punch as it was exiting the house. Team Fellowship finished climbing the stairs and saw a black-haired man wearing brown shirt was coming out of the window. The man had the same red organism on his shoulder and Jeffrey took it down with an iron thorn turning him back to normal. The man said, "We were waiting for someone like you to come. Please save our village."
"We'll do our best," said Jeffrey and the man fled.
After Gardevoir and Celebi brained another pair of blade-wielding humanoids with Psychic, the PokeMon proceeded along a walkway. They heard screaming followed by, "Don't come! Don't come!" Caroline was surrounded by a pair of shorter humanoids and Gardevoir brained one on the left causing the other to retreat. "Are you alright?" Jeffrey asked.
"Gee … I was scared. Please get them," she dodged the question.
The PokeMon began following the remaining creature but was surrounded by two of those short humanoids. Pikachu took them out with Thunderbolt and then the PokeMon went upstairs. Gardevoir brained that short humanoid and Team Fellowship proceeded through a walkway.
After Gardevoir and Celebi brained another pair of blade-wielding humanoids coming out of a tunnel, the PokeMon went into a room where there was a table with plates, teapots, and cups along with a chair. There were also a cupboard and paintings in the wall. The PokeMon found a blond woman wearing red shirt and brown skirt with a red organism on her shoulder. Jeffrey took it down with an iron thorn turning her back to normal. She asked, "Why? Why is this happening?"
The PokeMon were out of words and the woman left as a man with greyish blond hair wearing green shirt and brown pants with a red organism on his shoulder got up. Pikachu took down it with an iron thorn turning him back to normal. "This can't be … my wife … my daughter," the man spoke as he fell to his knees.
"Your wife is fine, get out and you'll join her," said Jeffrey. The man got up on his feet and left. Team Fellowship decided not to ask about their daughter.
"Pika, pika," Pikachu spoke as it pointed to the window in the ceiling. A short humanoid broke in and was brained by Gardevoir. Pikachu used Thunder on another short humanoid as it jumped in.
Caroline caught up to the PokeMon and Jeffrey said, "Gardevoir, teleport us up." He turned to Celebi, "Celebi, escort the girl on another way." The Time Travel PokeMon nodded.
"Will do," Gardevoir spoke as she Teleported everyone to the rooftops.
As they proceeded through the rooftops, Jeffrey used Dynamic Punch on a pair of armored humanoids. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on a pair of flying creatures and a pair of short humanoids that jumped out from a chimney. Gardevoir Teleported the trio from the roof as they reached a square.
"Pika, pika," Pikachu spoke as two armored humanoids were closing in.
"Stay back!" there was a voice causing the humanoids to back away. A brown-haired man with grey skin wearing armor covered by black clothing appeared.
"Who are you?" Jeffrey asked.
"Amazing creatures. My name is Bathe'lemy and I am the one who serves the Vampire. What a joy to meet such powerful ones. Give me all your best. Don't disappoint me," the knight introduced himself drawing his sword and then jumped over the trio to their back. Jeffrey drew the Sun Blade and clashed blades with Bathe'lemy. The Machop managed to stab the knight several times before the vampire's servant disappeared and did not reappear nearby. Jeffrey put away his sword and Team Fellowship went to a structure with spiral stairs. The Machop used Dynamic Punch on two armored humanoids that were no their tail.
When Team Fellowship reached a forest, Bathe'lemy appeared, "Now, let's have some fun." He disappeared before reappearing on their side in a distance and did not run towards the PokeMon. Gardevoir used Psychic to prevent him from attacking causing him to disappear. The knight only appeared when he was to attack. Gardevoir had to use Psychic to prevent every of his ranged attacks as the trio proceeded along the road to another structure.
After Team Fellowship entered, they found Bathe'lemy who drew out his second sword and said, "I never thought I'd meet such worthy opponents, but the fun's over." A blue circle with strange symbols appeared with boulders rising turning the knight into a hulking, hunch-backed, horned golem with huge sword-like blades on each arm, "Be prepared, because I've no mercy for you. This sword will mark your graves."
The golem jumped a bit and roared before disappearing. It reappeared at short range and began walking towards the PokeMon. Jeffrey used Dynamic Punch right at its head sending it zooming and collided against a wall before it disappeared. If the golem appeared far away, Gardevoir would have to prevent its ranged attack with Psychic. At one time, golem appeared far away but ran towards the PokeMon instead of using its ranged attack. When golem used one blade to shield its head, it was no use against Gardevoir's Psychic attack.
The Machop and Gardevoir hit the golem with sufficient force causing it to revert to its orginal form. "Why protect the humans? What are you fighting for? Why?" Bathe'lemy asked before he passed away.
"Are you guys alright?" Celebi asked as it and Caroline caught up.
"Yeah, let's move on," said Jeffrey.
"Light and shadow … is there no way to free us from fate?" the man in black and red outfit stood up from his throne.
