Khaos: Hello, everybody. Time for the next installment in the Amethyst Angel Adventures: Colosseum story. But first, here's Ryo with the disclaimer.

Ryo: The following is a KhaosOmega fanfic. Though the Amethyst Angel name and appearance belong to Khaos, the girl portraying her, Anise Azeat, belongs to BROCCOLI, while Pokemon belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures Incorporated, and Satoshi Tajiri. Please support the release.

Chapter 2: Onward to Phenac and Folly's Return

"What caused those two to attack?" Ryo asked Jasmine after the news. "I saw a strange black aura surrounding a Makuhita. They must have realized it and decided to attack, but i successfully held them off. Folly was in the wrong place at the wrong time on my superkick." Ryo was confused about the aura.

"Must have been Cipher's doing. Those morons were dumb to corrupt ordinary Pokemon for their plan. Shadow Pokemon aren't to be like that." Anise said, startling both allies. "How'd you know that? You've only been here half an hour!" Ryo blurted. Anise shrugged, saying "I've dealt with three GX native former Cipher members on that Team Vexus, although they weren't themselves due to those amulets they have on emitting an Imperius Curse. Jet and Rochelle told me about the Shadow Pokemon; that's why my scouter has an Aura Reader installed on it." On the Amethyst Angel's left ear was a mysterious device, with a semi-seethrough eyepiece over her eye, blue in color.

"Where to?" Jasmine asked. "Phenac seems closest. Only twenty minutes away. We oughta tell the mayor, though if he has a second persona inside him he might not be of much help." Anise suggested. They were off to the Zoomer when a pink-haired guy tapped Anise on the shoulder.

"You up for a battle?" the guy, Willie, asked. "How about a two-on-one tag battle. Me and Ryo versus your two Zigzagoons." "Deal."

The battle was on. "Go for it, my Zigzagoons." Willie called out, hurling two red-and-white Poke Balls. "Go for it, Kevin." Ryo yelled, hurling one of his own. The Zigzagoons were brown raccoon-like Pokemon, whereas Kevin was a pink cat-like one, an Espeon. Anise threw a black, yellow, and white ball, calling "Exodia, stand by for battle!" Bursting out of the Amethyst Angel's Ultra Ball was an Infernape. "Kevin, Confusion!" One Zigzagoon was hit by a Psychic pulse, knocking just under sixty percent of its health. "Brick Break, Exodia!" Infernape struck the other Zigzagoon, knocking it out in one shot. 'She must know her type chart' Jasmine, refereeing the match, thought; Zigzagoon was a Normal-type, giving the Fighting-type Brick Break a power boost. Kevin proceeded to finish the other Zigzagoon with a Return attack.

"So you named your Espeon Kevin, eh. What'd ya name your Umbreon?" Anise asked. Ryo pulled out his other Poke Ball and threw it in the air. "Come on out, Chris." Out popped Umbreon, a black-colored version of the pink Espeon. "Chris and Kevin. Good names. Reminds me of that 'Intentional Talk' show Jet likes watching, due to the names." Jasmine then blurted "You mean Chris Rose and 2004 World Series champion first baseman Kevin Millar?" "Yeah. Man, Jasmine, you must know baseball pretty well if you know Kevin's position and the year of his World Series title." "Speaking of Jet, i heard he got that line from some guy he battled in Sinnoh." Ryo said. Anise nodded. "Yeah, some power-hungry purple-haired trainer named Paul. Jet gave him what for in the Suzuran Conference. Don't know who he faced at the end, but easily emerged victorious using just two Pokemon in a full battle in the final round as a Super Saiyan 3."

"Are we gonna head to Phenac or not?" Jasmine asked. Ryo and Anise agreed. "Just so ya know, only two can ride on my Zoomer: the driver and a passenger in the sidecar." Ryo told Anise, who nodded and then reached behind her back, pulling her Extreme Gear airboard. They then headed west to Phenac. Upon arrival, Folly, sporting a number of stitches on his left cheek from where Jasmine's stiletto heel had caught it, Trudly and a girl unknown to them were standing in the way. "You up for a three-on-three triple tag?" Anise asked her two allies. "Bring it. I can't wait to get payback for that superkick." Folly said. He then threw a Poke Ball, yelling "Go get 'em, Whismur." "All Pokemon are available for use. The battle ends once all three trainers on one team are out of available Pokemon. Furthermore, all trainers can substitute at will. Okay?" Anise said, laying down the rules for the 3-on-3 triple tag battle. Out of Folly's poke Ball came Whismur, a rather boring-looking pink Normal-type. The girl then threw one of her own, with a cry of "Let's go, Machop." Trudly yelled "Go for it, Duskull," throwing one of his own. "Let's do this, Kevin." yelled Ryo. Jasmine threw a Great Ball, a red, blue, and white variation of the Poke Ball the others threw, calling "Get 'em, Blayza." Blayza was a red-and-orange Flareon. Anise, meanwhile, was wielding another Ultra Ball. "Xaiastar, stand by for battle!" Out of the Ultra Ball popped a Dragonite, but was different in color as identified by the sparkles that popped out with the Dragon/Flying combination. "Jet's got three of these Pokemon." Anise told her buddies. "This one has Dragonicys's move pool." Xaiastar moved first, downing Duskull in one shot with Ominous Wind, the resulting energy surge indicating a stat boost for the Shiny Dragonite. A Spinarak came next, only to be KO'd in one shot by Blayza's Flamethrower. "Down to one in one turn?! Those Pokemon are strong." Trudly looked at his last remaining Poke Ball, then threw it, yelling "It's up to you, my Black Knight!" The Shadow Makuhita popped out, Jasmine and Anise both identifying the black aura. One Confusion attack from Kevin downed Machop, causing the girl to send out a Sealeo. "Jasmine, we got a problem. Sealeo is a Water/Ice combo, giving it advantages over Xaiastar and Blayza. Fortunately, Kevin's okay as it can't learn any Ghost or Dark moves." Whismur then attempted a Pound attack, but missed completely.

"Kevin, use Return on Whismur." Ryo called out. "Speaking of that, Blayza, return." Jasmine said, holding out the Flareon's Poke Ball. She then threw another one, yelling "Go get 'em, Hydroxia!" Hydroxia was a blue-colored Vaporeon, and effectively negated Sealeo's Water Pulse attack due to Water Absorb. Anise, meanwhile, readied a Snag Ball, throwing it baseball-style at Makuhita. The Ball hit the Pokemon, drawing it in and wriggling three times before pinging. Trudly was in shock. "None of ya even HIT Makuhita. How'd the maneuver work like that?" Anise simply grinned, saying "Master Ball. Got hundreds more where this one came from." Everyone turned to the wine-red-and-pink-haired Angel, simultaneously blurting "HUNDREDS?!" "Saw that reaction coming, so i'll say why it's so high: Jet used his Action Replay device with it connected to my Portable Storage System, or XQ Tech Unit 4216." Folly then asked her "How'd you manage to get XQ technology? Don't ya have to be an XQ member to have access to it?" Anise nodded, stating "07GA" while taking up the signature pose of the group: crossing her arms in an X formation in front of her chest as the over-the-head and near-the-groin areas were both signatures of DX and their XQ variant D-Generation XR. While the Cipher trio was confused, Folly's Lotad and the unknown girl's Sealeo (both their last available; Anise was in possession of Trudly's Makuhita and his other two were out cold) were KO'd by Hydroxia and Kevin out of the blue.

"RETREAT!" the three yelled, running for it despite Anise successfully side-tracking Folly by turning him around with Trouble In Paradise (Trudly had yelled "OTHER WAY FOLLY!" five seconds after contact) and left the scene. "What are the odds some Snagem goons'll show up later?" Anise asked Ryo, who gave her an 'i-dunno' look. They would decide to take a look around for a bit to get the layout of Phenac.

A note from KhaosOmega:

Several things to point out. First, DX is the team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, and while on that topic, Trouble In Paradise is Kofi Kingston's finisher. Blayza is basically a polar opposite to Dragon Ball Z villain Frieza, while the Chris and Kevin names came from the hosts of MLB Network show 'Intentional Talk', Chris Rose and Kevin Millar. And the Action Replay device can activate perhaps thousands of cheats, among them a 900-count of every type of Poke Ball (i have one such device).
