This part is gonna suck so bear or just glance at my story. I wouldn't be surprise if someone went out to point something how wrong this story is or how short it is. Yes I know it is short, it been a long time since I made a new chapter and I saw it in my Doc Manager somehow not posted yet.
Upon entering the Common Room, Todd couldn't help but feel nervous for his first ever match and he had to win to make it an even ratio.
Who was he kidding, his opponent was none other than Dina, his best friend.
Clenching his stomach, he could feel his stomach churning from the butterflies, or the food he bought. Pretty sure it was close to being expire.
He felt everyone staring at him making him sweat and feel the bite of the wind.
"Hey there nervous!" A guy walked up to him casually with a small grin.
"Yeah, a bit though." Todd lied through his teeth, shaking like a leaf.
"Well loosen up will you because this is just the start to your journey." He laughed like he seen this kind of reaction before.
Todd couldn't help chuckle before joining him.
"Are you laughing at me punk?!" The guy growl making Todd shake his head. "Just kidding."
"Thanks dude I think that's what I need the whole time. Also nice costume." With that the guy left.
"It's a uniform!" He shouted over at the door.
"Tell yourself that in the mirror!" He joked resulting the man to flip him off.
"Geez what did you do this time?" Dina appeared scaring the life out of him.
"Nothing, just made a new friend." Todd responded with a confident grin. "So you ready?"
Dina nodded.
"Please welcome our new rookies, Dina and Todd!"
The two enter the colosseum-like arena mesmerize by the amount of people cheering towards them.
"Whoa, Nellie! I'm Ty Ranno, and with me as always is Trip Cera."
On the Mammoth Vision Video Screen was two vivosaurs as announcers, one was a cute adventurous reddish-pink, cartoon T-rex with a star on his forehead, while the other one looked like a nerdy yellow skin triceratops with swirly glasses and a red bow tie.
"And we'll be your announcers for EVERY Fossil Battle!" Trip Cera hyped.
"You can count on us for expert commentary and witty repartee." Ty Ranno gave a little fist pump.
"Like when I yell a lot, Ty? OH YEAH!" Trip Cera yelled.
"Like that, my friend. But now let's get to the match!" Ty Ranno shouted, getting the crowd to cheer louder than ever.
"Go Stego! Goyle!" Todd shouted, not wanting to let the audience get bored any longer.
Two vivosaurs appeared, Stego looking ready to rumble, and adjacent to it was his new Vivosaur grunting. It was mostly purple and almost similar to an Ankylo with red spikes and a spiked club tail.
"Go Raja! Dimitre! Tricera!" Dina called out. One Fire Vivosaurs, one Water Vivosaur, and one Earth Vivosaur.
Taking in front was something he was already familiar with; Raja, behind it was the two vivosaurs, Tricera the medium blue ceratopsian glaring at them, and lastly was Dina's very first and prized Vivosaur, Dimitro.
Dimitro was a red sailed four-legged Vivosaur, its large yellow iris and black slit pupil staring at him with hunger like the rogue Vivosaur. He shouldn't be saying this, but it looked lively, very lively.
"I'll go!" Dina declared.
"And Dina have taken first turn!" Trip Cera point out.
"I spy a Vivosaur with an LP Steal skill. Shame that it's useless for first turn!" Ty Ranno remarked.
"Let's go! Raja Fang!" Oh boy...
Raja charge towards Stego before rearing its head back before clamping its large jaw on his Stego.
Stego stagger back a bit shaking off the blow with a few heavy huff. Seems like Stego was holding on like a champ, good.
"Raja what's wrong?!" He saw Dina looking worried, her Raja upper gum was bleeding a bit.
"Oh! That's gotta hurt! Raja has been hit by Stego Auto Counter! Looks like he need a dentist!" Trip Cera comment.
"Damn don't have any more FP." Dina click her tongue. "I end my turn."
"A-Alright let's go!" He fumbled his word as he loosen up a bit. "Okay! Let's see... Stego Spike Tail Dina's Tricera!"
Stego nodded before running towards the Water Vivosaur and swung its spike tail sending Tricera on its leg before it revert back to its medal.
"Oh! Todd has gotten the first KO by a critical hit! As such Tricera energy has added Dina's power!" Ty Ranno stated causing Todd to smile and ending his turn.
Staring back at Dina expecting an acknowledging smile, he frown a bit seeing her dead expression.
"Let's go, Dimetro! Dimetro Whirl at Goyle for Tricera!" Dina barked with no hesitation.
Dimetro roared and lunge towards Goyle and swirl his body like a sword at the purple Vivosaur. Resulting Goyle to cry in pain reverting into its medal.
"Here comes the FP Absorb skill! Stealing 20 FP from Todd!"
"Raja Bite!" Raja open his maw once more as Todd saw the familiar lose and blinked.
Darkness filled his vision before he knew it, he blacked out.
"That was a great battle, Todd." Dina said, grinning like its her birthday.
"Huh?" Todd shake his head. "What were you saying?"
"Nevermind." She sighed.
Before Todd could bring the topic back again, Stella approach the two with her usual mother-like smile. Too creepy if you ask him.
"Congratulations. You're through to the second round." She popped the confetti popper all over Dina. "But hold your head up high, Todd. That was a fine effort from you both. Anyway, Dina this is for you. It's your prize for clearing Round 1."
Dina receive a Time Plus prize pack.
"Time Plus is a valuable item that extends the cleaning time by 30 seconds. Each one is good for a single use. If you need more, you can purchase them at any shop." Stella said. Wait we have a shopping area? Awesome!
Dina then felt something in her pocket vibrate as she pulled out her liscense revealing her Fighter Level changed from 1 to 2. That was cool, her ID was advance as well.
"Your Fossil Level is now higher thanks to the battle. When rising in battle your maximum FP and FP recharge both increase. It's vital for the cup, but you can also earn them from different means." Stella explained. "Now If I must, I have deadlines to finish." She sulk to her office.
"I see that you manage to do well..." Todd and Dina instantly groan at the familiar voice.
This is gonna be a long day and it haven't been two days yet.
Before she could call it a day, Stella checked the Treasure Lake to make sure nobody was entering the site during night time in case someone tried something illegal. The last time she was here, let's just say she was traumatize for lacking both a partner and innocence.
Then slowly her cheeks bloom at the memory causing her to shake herself out of that trauma.
"Nothing strange so far." Stella muttered, flashing her flashlight around the area before heading to a well-known hotspot for sketchy activity. Inside Treasure Lake's prized skull.
Upon entering the structure or skull, she quickly noted the footprints on the floor as she brush her hand on it. It was still wet meaning the footsteps were fresh, and the smell that linger in the air was hasn't dissipated.
"Go! Camera!" Stella threw her metal out of the skull.
A large Sauropod appeared with its boxy, short-snouted skull. It had a cream color osteoderms with gentle pink and orange flower designs from its back all the way to its tail.
Sensing its master in danger, Camera sweep its tail across the lake revealing two shadows jumping over the attack.
"Show yourself!" Stella shine her flashlight at the intruder, they were Vivosaur, Rogue Vivosaur.
A flightless bird with a large beak and thick legs stood beside a large long neck turtle; Tryma and Pendem.
Both Vivosaur bicker amongst each other before roaring at Stella. Tryma rush towards Stella and try to smash her head in with its beak, only for Camera to stomp right in front of its track sending it back to its friend.
'They have the element advantage over my Camera, I'm kinda wishing I brought my other metals.' Stella bit inside her cheek watching with calculating eyes. "Just my luck they're both high Rank."
Sensing her fear, Tryma once again charge, but this time towards Camera and kick up the dirt towards Camera eyes dealing damage from the bits of sharp stones and gravel.
"Camera calm down!" Stella commanded fruitlessly, watching her Vivosaur enrage expression appear, kicking and flailing around causing her to jump away from being crush to death.
Pendem gave a lazy menacing smirk at the interaction as it lurk its head towards Camera and crunch down its flesh, clearly savoring the scream just by looking at its eyes.
"Camera calm down and use Fickle Goddess!"
Camera calm down as it roar to the sky with a glow and sparkles around it as a blue glow took place gaining the defence up effect.
With her turn ended, Camera with its anger gone went back to normal, but with a glare.
Apparently Pendem was the leader as it said something to Tryma who gave a nod as it screech causing blue flames to appear around Pendem giving it the Enflame boost before exhausting itself. Next Pendem went in its shell and spin attack Camera with a critical hit! Camera rear back from the impact, hanging its neck low signalling Stella that it was low on LP.
"This is bad..." Stella bit her thumb, she can take down one, but what's stopping the other to defeat Camera and get her, she can't outrun one of them.
Then out of nowhere two fists rocket into the Rogue Vivosaur causing them back to their original state and Stella to stare blankly.
"Oh, what now." She said bitterly, not liking whoever barge in her fight.
Large red beady eyes and someone in front of it was something she saw before they disappear into the darkness.
"I didn't need your help, but I appreciated it." Stella huffed, not liking someone interrupting her fight but inside she was kinda glad this person save her at the same time break a bit of her pride.
Blue and goggles was what she could tell. Her Hero.
