Alfgar shifted in his seat uncomfortably. The auditorium was packed, and as a result, he didn't have much room to move around. As he adjusted the cap on his head and straightened his black gown, the girl next to him spoke up.
"Would you stop that already? There's only a few more minutes left." Her green eyes flashed in annoyance, and her blonde hair was silky smooth under her cap as it cascaded down her shoulders and spilled over onto her black gown.
He glared impatiently at the principal of Nuvema Intermediate School who was currently speaking on the podium of the auditorium. "This is so uncomfortable. I don't know why we need to wear this," he whispered back.
"It's tradition. Now stop moving around."
Alfgar sighed and leaned back into his seat. The speech was the same-old clichéd stuff he had heard so many times, so he didn't feel the need to listen intently to the principal. The graduation ceremony would be over soon, and he would finally be a trainer.
"And now I would like to welcome to the stage three of our students who have excelled in both academics and pokemon training," the principal said from the podium. "These three students will be receiving a starter pokemon from our very own Professor Juniper as a reward for their achievements. Please give a warm welcome to Hilbert Grey, Hilda Grey, and Ragnar Berlitz!"
The crowd applauded as Alfgar got to his feet. He felt Liviana pat him on the back from the seat next to him, and he walked to the stage as his heart swelled with pride. As he stepped up onto the stage and shook his principal's hand, Alfgar noticed that two more people had joined him on the stage.
Both of them were dressed in the same black cap and gown that he had on. One of them was a young man with brown hair and brown eyes, and he nodded at Alfgar when he saw him. The other person on stage was a girl who had the same brown hair as her brother, but her eyes were a dazzling shade of bright blue. She smiled cheerily at Alfgar as she took her place between him and her brother.
The three stood together and faced their peers and the crowd, the applause only increasing by the second. Alfgar glanced up into the audience to look for his parents, and he saw his father fumbling with his camera as he stood up in his seat.
"Smile, guys!" Alfgar's father shouted, his voice barely audible over the noise.
Hilda slung her arms around the two boys' shoulders and brought them closer to her.
"Come on, can we at least pretend that we like each other?" She asked teasingly, a sunny grin plastered on her face.
Alfgar couldn't help but smile at that, and he looked over at the normally-reserved Hilbert and saw him grinning widely as well. The three looked at the camera, and the flash dazzled them as it went off in the auditorium.
When the light faded, Alfgar found himself alone on the stage. Hilbert and Hilda were gone, and instead of clapping and cheering, the audience was yelling insults at him. He glanced back into the crowd but found that his parents had also disappeared. The jeers grew louder, and Alfgar suddenly felt an intense pain in his leg.
He looked down and saw Liviana, her hand latched onto a knife that she had plunged into his leg.
"You're a failure. You let them die," she hissed, her eyes glowing angrily.
Suddenly the scene shifted, and Alfgar found that he was no longer at the auditorium. Instead he saw that he was back in a large, dark, open space that floated above a city. Across from him stood a young man with with long green hair tied messily in a ponytail. A black and white cap covered his hair, and his pale green eyes were full with an indiscernible emotion. In front of the green-haired boy stood a large white dragon. Reshiram.
Apollo roared as he spread his wings and bared his teeth, the flame on his tail burning intensely. Only the charizard stood between Alfgar and Reshiram. Randy lay on the ground, his body motionless save for the few ragged breaths he took intermittently. An unfezant was sprawled out next to the kecleon, its body burned and blackened from Reshiram's flames. It did not move. A third pokemon also lay on the ground, a large, blue one with a golden horn atop its head.
Apollo roared again before letting a flamethrower loose at N and his Reshiram, but the white dragon responded with a stream of fire of his own. Apollo's attack was easily overcome, and the charizard was bathed in flames. Though the fire was not very effective against him, Apollo still roared in pain as he tried to bat the flames out with his wings.
"It is futile," Reshiram began, "you are not strong enough. Though you and your pokemon may have the will to win, the simple truth is that you cannot defeat me. Lying to yourself will not save you."
A resolute roar pierced the air, and Alfgar watched as the downed samurott weakly rose to his four feet. The water type roared again as it fixed its horn at the Reshiram, and it glanced back at Alfgar before charging.
Alfgar's heart sank when he looked into the samurott's red eyes. Though he saw determination, power, and strength in those eyes, he also saw hopelessness.
Alfgar lifted himself up from the soft, luxurious bed and yawned as he stretched. He glanced around the guest room of Cynthia's villa and saw that Evenfall and Randy were still asleep. Luce, however, was wide awake, and the luxray stared at him with his disturbing eyes.
"Do you have to do that every morning?" Alfgar complained as he headed to the bathroom.
After he showered he came out and saw that all three of his pokemon were now awake, so he headed downstairs for breakfast. He poured bowls of cereal for himself and for his pokemon. Evenfall and Randy happily dug into the food, but Luce made a face and then scowled at Alfgar.
"You call this a meal?"
Alfgar shrugged as he carefully poured milk into his cereal. "Go hunt for yourself if you don't like it. There's plenty of wingull outside."
"I think I will do just that," Luce replied sourly as he slunk out the door.
"Don't kill anyone!" Alfgar called after him.
"Does he kill people often?"
Alfgar turned around and saw Cynthia walk into the kitchen, her heels clicking against the tile floor.
"Not really, though I have no doubt that he would if I let him do whatever he wanted."
Cynthia eyes flashed in amusement for a second before they became serious again. "We should leave soon. Meet me outside when you finish."
"Wait!" Alfgar called out before she left. "What about Gary? Shouldn't we wake him?"
"No. There's no reason for him to be there, and I have a feeling he would be bored out of his mind." Cynthia then left the villa and went out into the Undella sun.
Alfgar chewed his cereal as he watched her leave. The meeting with the Sinnohan diplomats was today, and he had to admit that Gary probably wouldn't want to be there. He finished his breakfast and returned his pokemon.
As he headed out the door, Alfgar glanced at his outfit. Cynthia had ensured him that he didn't need to buy a suit and that his current attire was fine, but it still felt weird meeting important diplomats while he was dressed so casually.
He found Cynthia waiting outside the villa. "Ready?" She asked.
He nodded and mentally went over the points of discussion as the pair walked along the beach. His job was to convince the diplomats to join the war on Unova's side, and he was supposed to focus on points such as Sinnoh's dependency on Unovan trade goods as well as the vast supply of oil Unova held. Cynthia was there as an advocate for Unova as well, and she would be helping him convince the diplomats. Though she was champion of Sinnoh, she didn't have infinite power and still had to work together with Parliament.
Alfgar was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Luce stroll over to them. The luxray grinned at Alfgar, his teeth stained red. Cynthia continued walking, and the trio strayed from the sidewalk and started walking on the beach. They continued on for a few minutes until they were far away from the town.
"Where are we going?" Alfgar asked.
"Oh, the meeting is being held in a beach cove. Strange, I know, but these Sinnohan diplomats are traditionalists. They would prefer to avoid the luxurious and excessive nature of Undella Town."
She remained silent for a few more moments before speaking again. "Gary Oak told me about your vision of Arceus."
Alfgar blinked in surprise. "He did?"
"Yes. He told me about Rayquaza as well."
"It's true," Alfgar said, anticipating her reaction. "I wouldn't lie about such things."
Cynthia stopped walking and turned to face him. "It's hard to believe, I admit, but you seem to believe it very strongly. Why?"
"I... I don't know... It just felt so real. I wasn't the only one who saw it."
"I know," she replied. "Yet you're the only one still on this quest. Gary also told me how your soldiers left. Either way, you can't be one hundred percent sure that it was Arceus who appeared to you. Why do you still believe in it?"
Alfgar remained silent. He didn't know how to put his emotions into words.
Cynthia stared at him with her powerful platinum eyes. "... It's because of the Unova Incident, isn't it? You want to be able to overcome what happened there by fulfilling your new quest. Or do you simply want to distract yourself? Revenge? Is it revenge you want, by collecting these legendaries? A mix of all three, I would guess."
Alfgar grit his teeth and looked at the sand at his feet. This was none of her business. "Why do you care?"
"I feel sorry for you, for what happened to you. You didn't deserve it. You were a good person, Alfgar, but bad things can happen to anyone." Her eyes shone with sympathy, and her long blonde hair flowed in the sea breeze.
His eyes darkened. "... Can we just get to the meeting?"
Cynthia stepped back a few paces and looked at him sadly. "Oh, Alfgar... There is no meeting. I'm sorry." She pulled out a pokeball and tossed it into the air, and a small stone emerged from it.
Luce immediately leapt in front of his trainer, his teeth bared. He growled at the spiritomb as its wispy form snaked out of the keystone.
"Why are you doing this?" Alfgar asked, his voice tinged with surprise and hurt. And to think he was actually beginning to trust her.
Cynthia didn't reply. Instead, her spiritomb sent out a wispy trail of fire which sped towards Luce.
"Dodge that!"
Luce leapt aside and responded with the thunderbolt which hit the spiritomb.
"Thunder fang!" Alfgar commanded. Luce was better with physical moves, and spiritomb wasn't very quick.
"Sucker punch," Cynthia countered, her voice void of emotion. The spiritomb sent out a tendril of its dark energy and socked Luce as he leapt at the ghost. Luce fell onto the sand and glared at the spiritomb as he got back up, his teeth sparking with electricity.
Alfgar matched his pokemon's glare as he thought about his next move. Luce didn't have any super-effective moves to hit the spiritomb with, so the best he could do was to go for powerful, physical, electric attacks.
Cynthia struck first, however. "Use foul play." The spiritomb's wispy tendrils enveloped Luce in dark energy, and the luxray yelped as his own attack power was used against him.
"Thunderbolt! Keep it away from you!"
Luce snarled as his hair stood on end and he sent a bolt of electricity at the spiritomb. The ghost droned in pain as the electricity coursed through it, but it recovered quickly and fired off another will-o-wisp. Luce barely managed to dodge the fire attack by leaping to the side again.
"Wild charge, Luce," Alfgar ordered, and the luxray enveloped himself in electricity as he charged the spiritomb.
"Sucker punch."
Luce was stopped in his tracks as the spiritomb's tendrils punched him in the stomach. Damn it, Alfgar thought, I can't keep letting him get sucker punched. I need to predict it next time.
"Thunder fang! Leap at it!"
Luce launched himself off his hind legs as his jaws crackled with electricity. He flew into the air and descended towards the spiritomb, but Alfgar called out again.
"It's going to sucker punch you again! Twist and avoid it."
Sure enough, the spiritomb sent more tendrils out to catch the luxray in mid-air. Fortunately for Alfgar, Luce twisted in the air and changed his path so that the tendrils went wide. The luxray bit down hard on the spiritomb as he fell to the ground, causing the ghost to shriek in pain.
"Dark pulse!" Cynthia yelled, her voice no longer as calm as it was a few seconds ago.
The spiritomb shook off the electricity and blasted Luce with a wave of dark energy, forcing the electric lion back a few paces. As Luce struggled to recover from the point-blank blow, Alfgar heard Cynthia order another foul play attack. He watched helplessly as the luxray took the attack and crumpled to the ground, sending sand flying everywhere.
"Will-o-wisp." Cynthia's voice had regained its confidence as she realized the battle was starting to favor her once more.
"You have to dodge that!" Alfgar yelled urgently, but Luce was still struggling to his feet when the flames overtook him.
Luce yelped again as the fire scorched his fur, and Alfgar knew that he would be much more weaker now. "Thunderbolt!" His only chance was special attacks now.
Luce bristled as he directed electricity towards the spiritomb, but the ghost responded with a dark pulse which knocked the luxray down. The spiritomb took the thunderbolt, though it once again shrugged the attack off.
Alfgar grit his teeth as he recalled his downed luxray. He now only had four pokemon left while the Sinnoh Champion still had six. I can't win this, he grimly thought. Still, he had to try. It would be pointless to give up.
He thought about his options. The spiritomb had not moved the entire battle, and its foul play and will-o-wisp combination would cripple physical attackers. He needed a special attacker who could take advantage of the ghost's sluggishness.
He plucked a ball from his belt and tossed it into the air. Evenfall emerged onto the golden sand and purred in distaste as she eyed her opponents.
"Ice beam," Alfgar ordered. The glaceon fired a focused white beam at the spiritomb, but the ghost managed to strike Evenfall with its tendrils before it was hit by the ice attack.
Damn it. I forgot about the sucker punch. "Evenfall, use barrier!"
Evenfall mewled and twisted her body as her icy coat shimmered. A purple force field erupted around Evenfall, ensuring that any of the spiritomb's physical attacks would be weakened.
Alfgar smirked. The spiritomb didn't have much options left now. Will-o-wisp would be easy for Evenfall to dodge, and the only special attack he had seen the ghost use was dark pulse, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Ice beam," he said again. Evenfall launched another beam at the ghost, but to Alfgar's surprise, the glaceon was struck by the tendrils again as she fired off her attack.
What the hell? He thought to himself as Evenfall crumpled in pain. That shouldn't have done that much damage.
"Infiltrator," Cynthia called out after noticing Alfgar's confused expression. "Barrier won't work on Ghoulser thanks to his ability."
The spiritomb cackled at the his trainer's words and then sent a will-o-wisp towards Evenfall. As the glaceon dodged the attack, Alfgar tried to come up with a new strategy. Abilities, huh? If that's how you want to play it...
"Use hail!" He called out.
Evenfall let out an icy howl as her coat shimmered once more. A large cloud of ice formed above her and eventually overtook the whole battlefield. After a few seconds, hail started to fall from the cloud. Ghoulser cringed in discomfort as he was pelted by hail, but Evenfall seemed to be enjoying herself in the ice storm.
"Ice beam! Make sure to watch out for the sucker punches," Alfgar commanded.
Evenfall fired another ice beam at the ghost and easily dodged the spiritomb's counterattack. The ice type leapt around the sand as she fired off ice beam after ice beam, the attacks strengthened by the hailstorm. The spiritomb struggled as he was pelted by hail and smashed by ice beams, and it only took a minute for Evenfall to finish the ghost type.
Cynthia recalled her spiritomb. "Interesting. You used your glaceon's Snow Cloak ability to increase your evasion. It won't work as well on my next pokemon, though." She tossed out another pokeball and revealed her lucario.
Alfgar recalled Evenfall hastily. The lucario's aura sphere would still hit Evenfall for super-effective damage even with Snow Cloak up. Alfgar threw another pokeball and released Apollo. The fire dragon roared a challenge as the hail cleared up and the ice clouds dissipated.
"Get in the air, Apollo." Even though the lucario's aura sphere wouldn't miss, if Apollo was in the air, the aura sphere would take longer to get to him and allow him more time to dodge.
Apollo roared and flapped his wings as he flew up into the sunny sky of Undella. The lucario calmly glanced upwards as the charizard circled around him.
"Flash cannon," Cynthia ordered.
The lucario shot off a ball of metallic energy at Apollo, and the charizard barely managed to dodge it as it rocketed upwards with surprising speed.
Damn. Even from that much of a distance, her attacks still come so close to hitting? No wonder she's a champion. "Smokescreen!" Alfgar shouted up to Apollo. The black smoke would hide the charizard, making it harder for lucario's attacks to hit.
Apollo blew smoke out of his nostrils and mouth as he hovered around in the air. The black smoke obscured his position, and even Alfgar could no longer see him.
"Aura sphere," Cynthia said, her voice still surprisingly calm.
No way that's going to hit. There's too much smoke. Alfgar watched as the lucario closed his eyes. The four black extensions on the side of the lucario's head floated upwards as the pokemon focused. Soon enough, the lucario rapidly formed a ball of blue energy before he hurled it up into the smoke cloud. Apollo roared as he flapped his way out of the cloud, just barely avoiding the aura sphere.
Alfgar snarled in anger. How could he have been so stupid? Of course the smoke screen wouldn't help. Lucario used aura to sense their opponents, not their sight. Still, the distance was too far. The lucario could not hit Apollo as long as it was grounded, and as far as Alfgar knew, lucario couldn't fly.
Cynthia thought the same thing. "You won't hit if from this far away. We need to get in the air. Use extreme speed and then aura sphere."
Alfgar watched with horror as the lucario ran with amazing speed and then leapt into the sky. At the apex of its jump, the lucario released an aura sphere that collided directly with Apollo. The charizard roared with pain, though the attack didn't do too much damage. Still, the lucario now had a method of hitting Apollo.
"Flamethrower! Stay on the offensive!" Alfgar called out.
Apollo swooped downwards and opened his maw, unleashing a torrent of flames at the lucario. However, the fighting type leapt aside nimbly and slammed its open palm into Apollo's side. It then fired an aura sphere at the retreating charizard, scoring a direct hit.
Alfgar cursed. Apollo was taking too much damage. As he watched the lucario pepper Apollo with aura spheres and flash cannons, he tried to think up a new strategy. Being in the air is only hurting me at this point. The lucario can dodge airborne attacks and deal out damage at the same time.
"Apollo, roost!"
The charizard roared as it descended onto the soft sand of Undella's beach. When he landed, Apollo folded up his wings and assumed a rest position as he healed himself. Now we just wait...
"Aldronn, extreme speed and bone rush," Cynthia commanded as the lucario rushed forward. The jackal pulled out a bone from a small valve on its body and rushed at Apollo with it.
"Overheat!" Alfgar screamed just as Cynthia finished her order.
Cynthia's eyes widened as Apollo's tail flame grew immensely. The charizard roared loudly as a huge wave of heat erupted from its body and swallowed the battlefield. Though the attack was aimed in Aldronn's direction, Alfgar still felt the intense heat as he covered his face with his arm.
When the heat finally cleaned and made it bearable to face the battlefield again, Alfgar saw Cynthia emerge from her prone position in the sand, golden grains strung up in her blonde hair. He also saw that Apollo was panting heavily, his long, draconic tongue sticking out from between his jaws. The lucario was faced down on the sand, his body scorched in several places. However, to Alfgar's surprise and dismay, Aldronn weakly pushed himself to his feet. W-what? How?
Cynthia smiled. "It's weak now, Aldronn. Finish it."
As the lucario rushed Apollo, Alfgar gathered his wits and barked out an order. "Earthquake!"
The sand began to shift and rumble as Apollo roared defiantly. Aldronn stopped in his tracks and fell to his knees, the earthquake attack forcing him to the ground.
When the shaking finally stopped, Alfgar slowly got back up from where he had fallen and observed the battlefield. Apollo looked ready to collapse, but the lucario was definitely finished. Cynthia stood up as well as she frowned and recalled her pokemon.
"Apollo may have been weak," Alfgar started as he smirked, "but he wasn't completely incapable of attacking. Overheat only dropped his special attack, not his physical attack."
"... You are very good trainer, Alfgar. I wish I could have tested your strength on better terms." She chucked a pokeball into the air and released a togekiss.
Alfgar returned Apollo and sent Evenfall back out. An ice type should be able to deal with this thing.
"Ice beam," he called out.
"Dodge it and then air slash!"
The togekiss swerved away from the white beam and swung its wings in a wide arc, releasing a compact blade of air which sped towards the glaceon.
That shouldn't be too damaging... "Ice beam again!"
However, as the air slash hit Evenfall, the glaceon flinched as she reeled from the attack. The ice type's blood stained the sand.
"Thunder wave!" Cynthia called out.
Alfgar balled his fists in anger as the electric wave stunned Evenfall. He hated this tactic. "Ice beam!" He yelled desperately.
"Air slash and then aura sphere," Cynthia countered.
The blade of air flew into Evenfall again, and before she could recover from the flinching and the paralysis, a compact ball of energy struck her. I didn't know this thing had a fighting-type attack, Alfgar thought grimly.
Before Evenfall could even get up, another aura sphere struck her, and then another. The third one made a sickening crack as it slammed into the downed glaceon, and Alfgar fumbled for his pokeball as he recalled her.
"You really should have recalled her earlier," Cynthia said, her expression neutral. "In fact, you shouldn't have sent her out against my togekiss in the first place. You need to be able to predict your opponent's moves."
"Shut up," he growled as he sent Apollo back out. The charizard was still tired, but Alfgar was running out of pokemon. Besides, he had a plan.
"Get in the air," he commanded. Apollo joined the togekiss in the sky as the two circled around each other.
"Thunder wave," Cynthia ordered, but Apollo easily avoided the attack and countered with a flamethrower.
"Dragon dance!" Alfgar yelled. Apollo began spinning in the air, his wings held close to his body. The strange ritual would power him up greatly.
"Air slash!"
"Dragon dance! Spin faster!"
The blade of air bounced harmlessly off the charizard as he spun rapidly in the air. When he finally emerged from his compact spinning position, Apollo roared viciously in the togekiss' direction.
"Watch out, Serena! It's going to try and rush you now!" Cynthia cautioned to her pokemon, obviously aware of dragon dance's effects.
Alfgar smirked. "Smokescreen!"
Apollo shrouded himself and his opponent in thick, black smoke. The togekiss, expecting a physical attack, had no time to react to the smokescreen and was caught up in it.
"Now dynamic punch!" Alfgar screamed.
Apollo rushed through the black smoke and slammed his dragon dance-boosted fist into the immobile togekiss. The togekiss shrieked in agony as it fell from the sky and collapsed onto the sand with a thud. Cynthia held out a pokeball and sucked the togekiss back into its ball.
"That was impressive," she admitted. "You threw me off with that smokescreen, as I thought you'd go right in for a physical attack. I have enjoyed watching you and your pokemon, Alfgar. Unfortunately, I must end this now." She threw a pokeball into the air and sent out her garchomp.
Alfgar's throat tightened as the dragon roared fearsomely. Charlotte, Cynthia's garchomp, was her strongest pokemon by far. He had been dreading this fight ever since the battle started.
"Apollo, dragon pulse!" He called out nervously.
Apollo rushed down to meet the Charlotte, but the dragon pokemon slammed Apollo as he approached, her body coated with blue energy. Apollo lost his balance and slammed face first into the ground, sending sand flying everywhere.
Alfgar recalled him and felt a cold sweat break out on his body. It's so fast and powerful! He sucked in a breath and sent out Randy to face Charlotte. The kecleon squawked in alarm at seeing the dragon.
Cynthia struck first. "Dragon rush!"
Her body glowing with draconic energy, Charlotte sped towards Randy and sent him flying into the sand. As the kecleon got back up, Alfgar saw that Randy's skin was tinted a deep blue color. No! He's a dragon type now! The next dragon move Cynthia used would do extra damage thanks to Randy's ability.
Cynthia smirked as she noticed this. "Dragon pulse."
Charlotte opened her mouth and sent a beam of blue energy towards the kecleon, who took the attack head on. Randy squawked in pain as he was sent right back into the sand.
Alfgar suddenly had an idea. "Use camouflage!"
Randy squawked in approval as his skin changed back to its regular, pale-green color, indicating that he was a normal type again. However, before Alfgar could order a counterattack, Charlotte slammed into Randy with another dragon rush.
It's just too fast! Randy would be a dragon type again, and he would definitely be destroyed by Cynthia's next move. Wait... That doesn't have to be a disadvantage.
"Use mimic!" Alfgar called out.
Randy's stripe on his body glowed for a bit before he released a burst of draconic energy from his mouth, striking the surprised Charlotte as she started to charge again. The garchomp roared angrily as she was hit by the super-effective attack, the damage compounded by Randy's new dragon type.
Unfortunately, Alfgar now had to wait for the garchomp to attack before he could mimic again. He just hoped Randy would be able to dodge the attack.
"Dragon rush," Cynthia ordered.
Charlotte rushed towards the kecleon again, but this time Randy jumped over the charging dragon. However, as Randy was in mid-air, Charlotte spun around and swung her claws at the kecleon. Randy shrieked as the garchomp's claws sliced into his legs. The kecleon fell onto the sand, his legs now separated from his body. Randy moaned weakly as the golden grains around him turned red.
Alfgar stared in horror before he returned the kecleon and sent out his last pokemon. "Kill them!" He yelled, fury lacing his voice.
Odin appeared after a bright flash of light and roared deeply as he glared at the garchomp. Charlotte roared back, but her cry sounded pitiful when compared to the tyrantrum's. Odin charged Charlotte, his jaws wide open.
"Earthquake!" Cynthia hurriedly called out. If those jaws closed around Charlotte, the garchomp was as good as dead.
Charlotte roared as she shook the sand and caused Odin to lose his footing. As the fossil dragon stumbled, Charlotte rushed towards him. When the garchomp approached Odin, the tyrantrum swung his head downwards in a massive head smash attack, battering Charlotte down I to the sand.
"Dig!" Cynthia was beginning to get worried. She had to get the battle back under control.
Charlotte disappeared under the sand, causing Odin to look around in confusion. He roared in frustration.
"It's going to come up behind you!" Alfgar warned as he tried to regain his composure.
Unfortunately for him, the garchomp reappeared right in front of Odin and blew him back a few yards. As the tyrantrum flew past him, Alfgar felt the tip of the fossil dragon's tail smack him in the head. He collapsed into the sand and struggled to recover as his vision swam.
The last thing he remembered was a loud buzzing noise and the sight of shining, red armor before he blacked out.
A/N: There was supposed to be another one of those 'dex entry' things here, but I guess it got deleted somehow... Sorry about that.
