16. Chapter 16

Hello everyone before we strat I would like to say sorry about the Wailord entry I spent the whole day working on that chapter and I was thinking about how I wanted to do it so I forgot to check it and I'll try not to make that same mistake again. Now onto chapter 16.

Chapter 16

A Day in the Coliseum

Oliver P.O.V.

It took us some time to figure out where we are, but we soon found our way to Nordopolica. During that time Yuri was bonding with Bisharp and Shuppet trying to figure out any cool combinations for them. Raven was doing the same thing with Drilbur and Stableye. By the time we got to Nordopolica it was night time.

"So there's Nordopolica." Judith said as we made it to Nordopolica. "Yep otherwise known as the Coliseum City." Karol said to us. "Once popular among the nobility as a place for pitting criminals against each other in brutal contests. Nordopolica is currently run by the guild Palestralle, and has become a city of entertainment." Estelle said to everyone. "Sounds like a fun place." Ava said to Estelle. "How big is Palestralle?" I asked Karol. "Palestralle is just as big a guild as the Don's Altosk, and.." Karol said as Nordopolica started to launch fireworks.

"My, how pretty." Judith said as we all watched the fireworks. "So, a party in the streets everyday, huh? This is gonna be great!" Raven said to himself. "Parties, fireworks, and skewers are a match made in heaven." Patty said as her and Cramerant ate some of her skewers. "Hey, I'll have one of those skewers too." Raven said reaching for a skewer. But when he got a skewer Cramerant bit his hand to get it. "Ooh." Raven said letting go of the skewer letting it fall into Cramerant mouth. Then Cramerant let go of Raven.

"Since when are you on vacation?" Yuri asked Raven. "Yeah don't you have an urge to run?" I asked Raven. "Oh yeah right. A minion's work is never done." Raven said, placing his hand on his face. "You're the Don's messenger, so don't be rude to Belius!" Karol said to Raven. "Young man, you are looking at a veritable paragon of manners and good breeding. Nyah hah hah hah." Raven said laughing at Karol. "You know when I think of Raven I never think he's a paragon of manners and good breeding." Ava said, making everyone laugh. "Mean." Raven said forming a frown.

"Traveling in a group sounds like loads of fun!" Patty said to us. "It's just a lot of noise." Rita said to Patty. "If you want you can still travel with us after all of you we keep running into each other." I said to Patty. "Thanks, but I'm good Oliver." Patty said to me as Kaufman walked to us. "We've arrived safely, thanks to you all. Once I've unloaded my cargo the Fiertia belongs to you, as promised." Kaufman said to us. "Thanks! We'll take good care of her." Karol said to Kaufman.

"So are the Sands of Kogorh still a long way from here?" Yuri asked Judith. "They lied to the west of Nordopolica. It's half a day's walk to get there." Judith said to Yuri. "Aren't there some big mountains on the way there?" Karol asked Judith. "That'd make going by foot a problem. Wonder if we could get there by boat." Yuri asked Judith. "I don't think that's possible. Not many people got to the desert. I doubt there would be a place to moor a boat." Judith said to Yuri. "it looks like we're walking." I said to everyone.

"Are you seriously going through with this? I told you, the desert is really dangerous. I can't just let you go to a place like that all by your... I-I mean!" Rita said to Estelle, but stopped talking. "I knew it Rita, you do have a heart." I said, pulling Rita and Estelle into a big hug. "Let go of me!" RIta said to me with a mean tune in her voice. "Nope." I said to Rita. "Heading into port, me hearties!" Patty said as she started to dock the ship.

Soon we were in Nordopolica. The city had a lot of small buildings but they were all built around a giant coliseum. Once the ship was docked into the harbor we all followed Kaufman of the boat. "Good work. Thanks." Kaufman said as we all reached dry land. "No, no. Thank you! You're a huge help." Karol said to Kaufman. "Right, mutual back-scratching and all that." Yuir said to Kaufman. "It's a pleasure as always Kaufman." Ava said to Kaufman as a man with short light blue hair wearing tan clothes walked to us.

"Oh, M-madam P-president. It's an honor t-to have you here." The man said to Kaufman. "Excavating more ruins?" Kaufman said to the man as she turned to the man. "I'm always impressed that the guild boss himself supervises the excavations." Kaufman said to the man. "Th-the excavation of r-ruins is wh-what I l-lve for." the man said to Kaufman. "Who's that?" Rita asked Ava and Raven. "That's Regaey, head of Ruins' Gate." Raven said to Rita. "He's a nice guy but he's always jumpy for some reason." Ava said to Rita. "Regaey? Regaey? Regaey? Why does that sound familiar?" I said rubbing my chin.

"Ruins' Gate? That sounds familiar." Rita said, crossing her arms. "They're the guild that's helping the imperial mages excavate ruins." Raven said to Rita. "Oh, that's why I've heard of them." Rita said looking at Regaey. "W-well, I have f-friends who are expecting me, so if you'll excuse m-me." Regaey said before walking away. "He seems like a nice person." Estelle said to us. "Yes, but he's just super jumpy. Sometimes I think that if I say boo he'll faint." Ava said to Estelle.

"Hey you were talking about a guild that's selling hoplon blastia a week ago right." Rita asked Kaufman. "You mean Leviathan's Claw?" Yuri asked Rita. "Do you think they might be getting their blastia under the table from those ruined guys?" Rita asked Raven, Ava, Kaufman. "Ruins' Gate is completely innocent." Kuafman said to Rita. "How can you be so sure?" Yuri asked Kaufman. "They're upstanding, serious, diligent. That's what they're known for." Raven said to Rita. "Even if they're getting blastia from Ruins Gate it's possible from them holding a knife at their necks." Ava said to Rita. Rita then started to think.

"Well I'm off. Take good care of the Fiertia. I'll arrange for exchange of the ceres blastia and for transport to Tokunaga." Kaufman said to us. "Sure." Yuri said to Kaufman. "Good luck. Brave Vesperia!" Kaufman said to us. "Thanks." Karol said to Kaufman. "And thanks for rided Kaufman." I said to Kaufman before she walked away from us.

"Mages selling blastia on the black market? That is so not good." Rita said to herself. "Rita?" Estelle asked Rita. "Huh? Oh, Yeah." Rita asked Estelle. "All right, I guess I'll be going now." Patty said to everyone. "Going? Going where?" Karol asked Patty. "I've got lots of stuff to do." Patty said to us. "You mean treasure hunting?" Yuri said to Patty. "Aye thanks for all the help." Patty said to us.

"I believe that's our line." I said to Patty. "Yeah we have to thank you for piloting our ship." Karol said to Patty. "It's been real fun. Be careful out there." Patty said to us. "You too and take care of Cramerant." I said to Patty as she left us. Then a few seconds later Cramerant realised that Patty was gone and went after her. "I worry about them sometimes." Ava said to me.

"Well, I got some work to do, myself." Raven said to us. "Oh yeah, your letter it's for Belius, right?" Judith asked Raven. "Yep." Raven said to Judith. "Hey why don't we all go?" Karol said to us. "Good idea. She probably knows something about Phaeroh. We'll just tag along with you and say hi to Belius." Yuri said to Karol. "Sounds like a plan." I said to everyone. "I don't know if that's such a good idea. Course, I've only heard rumors, but hmmm." Raven said to us. "What? Is something wrong?" Karol asked Raven. "Huh? Nah. it's nothing." Raven said to us.

"Where can we find Belius?" Estelle asked Karol. "That's a good question where is Belius?" I asked Karol. "The coliseum, probably, since Belius is the duce of Palestralle." Karol said to us. "Then let's go to the coliseum, maybe we can find Belius or someone who can tell us where he is." I said to everyone then we started to walk to the coliseum. It took us a few minutes to get to the coliseum and when we did we asked someone that was leaving where Belius was. They said the only way Belius was thrown was a guarded door right before you entered the Arena. It took us a few minutes but we finally found it.

The door was guarded by a big muscle man with an eye-patch over his right eye, scars all over his body, and a giant sword on his back. Next to him was a grey dragon with yellow armor scales, but some had red in them and others had grey in them. It had sharp yellow claws on its hands and feet. And it's tail looked like a mace. "What?" Estelle asked me as we walked to them. "That's a Kommo-o." I said to Estelle. "Kommo-o?" Estelle said, pulling out the Pokedex.

Kommo-o

The Scaly Pokemon

Fighting / Dragon

It clatters its tail scales to unnerve opponents. This Pokemon will battle only those who stand steadfast in the face of this display.

"Sounds like a strong Pokemon." Yuri said as Estelle put the Pokedex away. Then we got to the door. "Lord Belius' private room is ahead. I cannot allow you to go any further." The man said to us as we reached the door. "But we've come to see Belius." Karol said to the man. "What? Who are you?" The man asked. "We're a guild- Brave Vesperia!" Karol said to the man. "I haven't heard of you." the man said to us. "We're a new guild." I said to the man. "Do you have an appointment with the Duce?" The man asked us.

"Huh? An appointment?" Karol said, wondering what he was talking about. "Unfortunately, my lord only meets with individuals who have appointments." The man said. "Kommo-o kom kom o-o." Kommo-o said to us while blocking the door with his tail. "How about a messenger from Don Whitehorse?" Raven asked the man. "The Don. oh my apologies. My name is Natz. I am the acting representative for the Duce. I will gladly deliver any message you have for the Duce." the man said to Raven. "Sorry, but the Don's orders were to give this letter directly to Belius." Raven said to Natz. then Natz and Kommo-o looked at each other.

"Is that so. Unfortunately, Belius only receives guests on the night of a new moon or when the Duce summons you. If you could perhaps come on the next new moon." Natz said to us. "The next new moon?" Rita said wondering why. "Why only on the night of a new moon?" Karol asked us. "I guess that's just how she does things. People can be weird sometimes." Rita said to us. "We don't have to wait that long the new moon is only a week away." Judith said to us.

"So what should we do in the meantime?" Raven asked us. "We don't have a choice if she's not seeing anyone." Karol said to us. "Sorry for the trouble. I'll let her know that a messenger from the Don stopped by." Natz said to us. "Hey it's only a week it could be worse." I said to Natz.

"So why don't we see what we can find out about the desert?" Judith said to me. "And about Phaeroh, too." Karol said to me. "I'd like to get some information about the aer krene, myself." Rita said to me. "We shouldn't have trouble getting information about all of that in a city this big." Estelle said to me.

"How about this. Well we don't want to miss the new moon, so I say we stay here until it passes, then once we head to the Sands of Kogorh. And in the meantime we can learn whatever we can form the city." I said to everyone. "Where are we going to sleep?" Estelle asked me. "We have the Fiertia so we can sleep in that." I said to everyone. "Sounds good to me." Raven said to me as the door opened up.

"Kommo-o move your tail we need to leave." A familiar voice said to Kommo-o. "What that can't be?" I said to Ava as we stared at each other. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, moving his tail. An average male with long brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing light armor with two blades on his wrists and legs and he had a blue belt around his waist with a Keystone on his left side and was standing in the doorway. Next to him was a human light creature with it's top half was green, it's bottom half was white. It had a white face. It looked like it was wearing a green helmet with a teal fin on it. It had red fins on its chest and back. It's hands looked like blades. And it had a blue belt around his waist with a clear crystal with a green and red core on his left side.

"Oliver? Ava?" The man said, noticing us. "Gallade?" the Pokemon said to us. Then Manectirc and Houndoom popped out of their Pokeballs. "Hugo?" Me and Ava said at the same time. "Manectric?" Manectirc said to the Pokemon. "Houndoom?" Houndoom said to the Pokemon. "I can't believe it's you!" We all said as we all hugged each other. "Gallade/ Manectric/ Houndoom." All the Pokemon said as Manectirc and Houndoom tackled the Pokemon to the ground. We all laughed for a minute happy to see each other.

"Um? Oliver who is this?" Estelle asked me. Then we realised that everyone was staring at us. "Oh right. Everyone, this is our friend Hugo." I said to everyone. "You mean the Hugo you two meet at that summer camp?" Estelle asked me. "Yes. Hugo these are my new friends. That is Estelle and her baby Togetic. The kid is Karol and his friend Skiddo. He's Yuri and those are his partners Bisharp and Shuppet. The girl in the back is Judith and that's her Vibrava. The old man is Raven and his Pokemon Drilbur and Stableye. The redhead is Rita and her Pokemon Duosion. And finally that's Repede." I said to Hugo pointing to everyone.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Hugo Wild and this is my Pokemon partner Gallade." Hugo said pointing to Gallade. "Gallade?" Estelle said, pulling out the Pokedex. "Who gave her the Pokedex?" Hugo asked us. "It's mine Estelle really likes Pokemon." I said to Hugo. "Far enough." Hugo said as Estelle pointed the Pokedex at Gallade.

Gallade

The Blade Pokemon

Fighting / Psychic

Sharply attuned to others' wishes for help, this Pokemon seeks out those in need and aids them in battle.

"He's ability is Steadfast and his moves are Leaf Blade, Psychic, Double Team, and Brick Break." Estelle said before putting the Pokedex away. "So what are you doing here?" I asked Hugo. "I can't tell you." Hugo said to me. "Why not?" I asked Hugo. "You see I'm a high ranking member of Palestralle now and Belius summoned me. But one of the rules of Palestralle is that you can't talk about what happened behind this door." Hugo said closing the door.

"Even with us?" Ava asked Hugo. "Yes, even with you two I'm sorry I want to tell you, but I can't." Hugo said to us. "Same the rule following Hugo I met at summer camp. I'm glad to see you Hugo. I was worried that the dream team would be a team again." I said giving Hugo another hug. "Me too. Say are you four back together again." Hugo said to me, Ava, Mancetric, and Houndoom. I then backed away and we all tried to talk but we couldn't find the words. "So you four are in the maybe stage." Hugo said laughing at us.

"Hugo!" Me and Ava yelled at Hugo. "So what are you guys doing here?" Hugo asked us. "We tried to meet Belius." Karol said to Hugo. "And let me guess you didn't know about the new moon rule." Hugo said to us. Then we all nodded our heads yes. "Makes sense only a few people know about that rule. So now what are you going to do" Hugo said to us. "We're about to go to our ship to sleep." I said to Hugo. "You have a ship now?" Hugo asked me. "Yeah it was a reward for helping some business friends of ours cross the sea. We were at sea for a week." Ava said to Hugo.

"I have a better Idea how about you come to my house that Belius gave me? I'm sure you will like a night on dry land." Hugo to us. "Sounds good to me. It would be nice to see the new life you have." I said to Hugo. "Great and when we get there you can tell me what you two and your friends have been up to." Hugo said as he started to walk. "Ok let's go everyone." I said to everyone as we walked out of the coliseum.

While we walked outside Hugo was getting to know everyone when we saw Patty and Cramerant buying something from a woman sitting on a blanket. "Look it's Patty." I said to Ava. "You know her?" Hugo asked me. "That's Patty she's a pirate and her bird is Cramerant. They're an odd pair, but they're our friends." I said to Hugo.

"Give me one of these and one of these." Patty said pointing at some supplies. "Y-yes ma'am." The woman said, picking up the supplies. Then a man walked to them. "Wait a second, dear!" The man said to the women. Then the man and the women started to whisper to each other for a few seconds. "Ummm. those clothes are uh. I'm sorry, but are you Aifread's granddaughter? It's just that there's been a rumor going around. People say there's a girl dressed like Aifread who claims to be his granddaughter." the women asked Patty. Patty just stayed silent.

"Huh Granddaughter? That means." Karol said to us. "I knew it." The woman said as we turned our head to them. "Let's see your total comes to 450 Gald." The woman said to Patty. Patty then gave her the money, still silent. "U-ummm. Could I ask you to stop coming here?" the women said to Patty. "Is that because. I'm Aifread's granddaughter?" Patty asked the women. "Uh well... You see… I don't really mind myself but our customers, you see…" The women said to Patty nor knowing what to say while looking at the man. "Huh? What? Wait just a second. I didn't say anything like that!" The man said to the women.

"Darling! You just said it'd hurt reputation if the granddaughter of an outlaw shopped here." The woman said to the man. "Well, yeah, she's the granddaughter of a guy who violated the guilds' morals and slaughtered tons of people." The man said to the women while looking at Patty. "Well th-that's…" Patty said but was interrupted by Hugo.

"Ok enough!" Hugo said to the man and women. "Master Wild I didn't see you there." The man said. "Yes picking on a child takes a lot of focus." Hugo said to the man. "Sir we're not-." The man said but Hugo instructed him. "I saw and heard everything now give me one reason why I wouldn't kick you out of this city." Hugo asked the man and women. "Master Wild, this girl is the granddaughter of Aifread." The man said to Hugo. "And?" Hugo asked the man. "Ummm?" The man said he was unable to answer him.

"That's what I thought. This girl is not her grandfather. She's her own person. Now I want the two of you out of my site and if I so much as hear one that you two do something like this again I will run you out of town myself is that clear!" Hugo said to the man and the woman. "Yes Master Wild." The man said as they grabbed everything and ran away. "Patty." I said walking to her. "I have to go." Patty said as she ran a sad look on her face. "Ok now I'm really worried about her." Ava said to me.

"Patty is Aifread's granddaughter? I wonder what that's all about." Estelle asked everyone. "She never mentioned that before. I wonder if it's true." Karol asked us. "That's something only Patty can tell us." I said to Karol. "Even so, is Aifread's reputation really that bad?" Yuri asked Karol. "After the Black Hope Massacre, he lost the trust of every guild, and now most guild members utterly despise him." Karol said to Yuri. "Ah, okay." Yuri said looking in the direction Patty ran. "Still Patty's got nothing to do with this. She's just a child, it's not like she did anything." I said looking in the direction Patty ran.

"Hugo, where's your house." Yuri asked Hugo. "Uh, Yuri… are you sure it's okay to let her go?" Estelle asked Yuri. "This is Patty we're talking about. She's a strong girl. I'm sure she'll be fine." Judith said to Estelle. "But she's still a child and no child should be hated just because she is someone's granddaughter." Ava said to Judith. "I agree, but Patty is gone by the time we find her it could be morning let's just go home and talk before we go to sleep." Hugo said to us. "Ok let's go." I said as we started to walk to Hugo's home.

After a few minutes we made it to a small house with a lot of open space that was next to a forest. "Welcome it's not much but it's enough." Hugo said to everyone as we walked inside. Once we got inside we saw the two doors, a kitchen and a little space for a living room. And in the backyard I saw a clear space, a small barn, and a few training dummies. "It's kind of small." Yuri said to Hugo. "Not to me granted, it's just me and my Pokemon I never hand many guesses." Hugo said to us. "So here we are going to sleep." Rita asked Hugo. "Right here let me get some blankets." Hugo said as he went into one of the doors.

"Here you go." Hugo said as he came back with a blanket for everyone. "Thanks." Estelle said as we all took a blanket. "Now that we have a moment of peace, why don't you tell me what you guys have been up to since you got here." Hugo said to us. Then we started to talk and we explained what we did, where we're going, and who we're going to see. Hugo found it all fascinating. We all talked for a few hours then Hugo said it was time to go to sleep. Soon he and Gallade walked into the door he got the blankets from and one by one we all fell asleep. Then me and Yuri noticed Estelle waking outside and we went after her.

Estelle then stopped in the middle of Hugo's backyard. "Are you missing the castle?" Yuri asked Estelle as she noticed us. "No, I just. I thought I'd come out for some fresh air." Estelle said to us. "Estelle you ok?" I asked her. "I just can't shake those words Phaeroh said to us." Estelle said to us. "Oh yeah, what was it again?" Yuri asked Estelle. "The insipid poison of this world must be purged and End Bringer leave our world before you destroy it." Estelle said to us. "The world's poison and End Bringer. Hm. Yeah well the world is full of pessimists, that for sure." Yuri said, rubbing his chin.

"I thinks Yuri right Phaeroh might just be a cranky old bird that thinks he's the only one how can save the world." I said to Estelle. "For what it's worth, you two don't look like poison or an End Bringer to me." Yuri said to us. "I agree I love life. How could I end it. And look at this face is this the face. Yuri does this face look like a poison to you." I said to Yuri. I said to Yuri while pointing to Estelle's face.

"No it's a cute and simple face." Yuri said as we started to laugh a little. "I'm not simple." Estelle said to us. "You're right you're a curious girl that wanders off whenever we lose sight of you." Yuri said to Estelle. "Stop that." Estelle said, getting a little embarrassed. "Relax Estelle we're just trying to cheer you up." I said to Estelle, making her laugh a little. "Heh heh. I guess I do feel a little better." Estelle said to us. "Glad to hear it." I said to Estelle.

"Hey." Estelle said as she turned her head to the sky. "Yuri, Oliver, look at that." Estelle said pointing up. "Hmm." Yuri said to Estelle. "What is it Estelle I said as I looked up to see a bright red star in the sky. "That's Brave Vesperia." Estelle said to us. "The brightest red star in the night sky." Yuri said looking up. "That is a one of a kind star." I said looking at the star. "There's an old story about that star." Estelle said to us. "What is it?" I asked Estelle.

"In the days of old, a great cataclysm occurred that plunged the world into ruin. Countless lives were lost as the people struggled to stand against the oncoming disaster. Its energies all but spent, humanity's hope seems lost when a pair of friends appeared. These friends together fought the calamity, and saved the world from annihilation. One was called the Child of the Full Moon after the struggle, she remained with the earth. The other one was called the Red Eon. and she ascended to the kies to watch over the world and become Brave Vesperia. The end." Estelle said to us.

"Wow so you went and gave our guild a name with a lot of baggage." Yuri said to Estelle. "Now that you know the story, you should strive to make your guild shine as bright as the star." Estelle said to us. "I agree Estelle. Like Brave Vesperia herself we should be a beacon of hope for everyone." I said to Estelle. Yeah. we'll have to tell Karol about this." Yuri said to us. "I'm sure that Karol wants it to be already." I said to Yrui. "We'll definitely have to live up to the name." Yuri said to us. "I'm sure we can Yuri." I said as I started to laugh a little.

"What's so funny Oliver?" Estelle asked me. "I was just thinking about how much everything has changed since I got here. Remember it was just us and Togetic when she was still and egg. And now look at us, we have a lot of friends, Togetic is a fine Pokemon, and here we are three people with nothing in common running around the world with giant smiles on our faces." I said to everyone. "Things have changed since I met you all." Estelle said to us. "It has been fun traveling with all of you." Yuri said to us.

"You know I've been thinking and I don't think I want to go back home. I think I want to stay here with you guys." I said to Yuri and Estelle. "What about your parents, Ava, Hugo, and their parents aren't you worried about them?" Estelle asked me. "I want to at least tell my parents that I'm ok and I'm happy. And I'm sure Ava and Hugo are happy here too." I said to Estelle. "So then what are you going to do when this job is over. You know I have to go back to the castle when it's over." Estelle asked me. "The first thing I'm going to do is get Yuri to help me rescue you from the castle." I said to Estelle.

"What?" Estelle said covering her mouth. "I'm not doing that." Yuri said to me. "Come on Yuri. Saving a princess from an evil castle is one of those things that makes you a hero. Imagine it: The black knight Yuri coming to save his princess carried by his noble steed Oliver. And for the record I'm not eating straw." I said making everyone. Soon we all burst out laughing. Then a yawn escaped my lips. "I guess it's late we should go to bed." I said to everyone. "Sounds like a plan." Yuri said to me as he walked inside. "Right night Oliver." Estelle said to me as she walked inside. As I walked inside I wondered what tomorrow would bring as we all went to sleep.

And apparently what tomorrow brings is the sound of clanking metal. The first thing we heard in the morning was this loud metal clanking sound waking everyone up and some of us were not happy about the early morning walk up call. "Morning guys." Hugo said acting like he wasn't hearing the clanking sound. "Hugo what is that noise?" Rita said to Hugo. "Oh that's it's just Metang he's usually the first one here in the morning." Hugo said to us.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him. "When Belius gave me this house she said I would have to teach people and Pokemon how to fight together. Soon wild Pokemon started to show up and practice here with everyone. Then one day Metang showed up and started to battle everyone. After we defeated him we told him that if as long as he doesn't cause trouble then he's allowed to stay and train. And now he's here from the crack of dawn to the last light of dusk." Hugo said to us. "Well someone should tell him to shut up, people are trying to sleep." Rita said walking out the door. Then we followed her.

Outside we saw a giant floating disc with two metal arms on it and its hands were sharp metal on its hands and it had red eyes. With a sharp metal noise and blades on it's side. "That Metang?" Estelle asked Hugo as Metang lamed into a shield on one of the training dummies. "Yes it is." Hugo said to Estelle. Then Estelle looked Metang up in the Pokedex.

Metang

The Iron Claw Pokemon

Steel / Psychic

When two Beldum link together, their psychic power is doubled. Their intelligence, however, remains unchanged.

"Hey Metang, knock it off, people are trying to sleep here." Rita said to Metang. "Duosion." Dousion said agreeing with Rita. "Metang?" Metang said, turning to Rita. "Yeah you hear me." Rita said to Metang. Then Metang charged at Rita. "Rita, watch out." Estelle said to Rita. Then Rita and Dousion dodge Metang attack. "We got to help her." Estelle said running to Rita. "Wait. Rita started this so she's got to end this." Hugo said to everyone. "I agree, let her handle it." I said to everyone. Then everyone just sat there and watched the battle

"SO you want to fight then let's fight. Duosion uses Signal Beam." Rita said to Duosion and Metang. "Duosion." Dousion said firing a pink beam with shapes in it at Metang. "Metang." Metang said as he dodged Duosion Signal Beam with fast speed and bunched Duosion in the face. "That was Bullet Punch." Hugo said to everyone.

Then Metang charged at Duosion again. "And that would be Take Down" Hugo said as Douson fell to the ground. "Come on Duosion show him what you can do with Shadow Ball." Rita said to Duosion as she started to cast a fireball. "Duosion." Doulsion said as she fired a dark ball at Metang the same time.

Then Metang's eyes turned purple and a purple outline appeared around Rita's fireball. Then the fireball suddenly moved in front of the shadow ball destroying both of them. "That was Psychic." Hugo said to everyone. Then Metangs head started to glow blue and he rammed into Duosion again.

"And that was Zen Headbutt." Hugo said to me as Duosion fell to the ground. "Duosion." Rita said looking at Duosion. "Rita Duosion can use Recover. Use it" I said to Rita. "Ok Duosion uses Recover." Rita said to Duosion. "Duosion." Duosion said as she started to glow. "Duosion." Duosion said as she got up and got ready for round two.

"This thing is strong." Rita said to herself. "Rita you can defet him I know it." Estelle said to Rita. Then Metang charged at Duosion again. "Duosion dodged it." Rita said to Duosion. Then Duosion dodged Metang attack, making him hit the ground hard. He then got up and tried to charge at Duosion. I then saw Rita smile. I'm sure she got an idea. "Duosion dodged it again." Rita said as Duosion dodged again and Metang crashed again. Then the same thing happened again and again until Metang didn't get up.

"Now Duosion uses Shadow Ball." Rita said to Duosion. "Duosion." Duosion said firing a ball of shadows at Metang hitting him in the middle of his head, making a smoke cloud. Once the smoke cleared we saw a Metang with swirly eyes.

"Audino." A Pokemon said as it ran out of the woods. Then a short white and pink fluffy pokemon. With blue eyes and something hanging on her ears. "Oh there she is." Hugo said to us. "You know that Pokemon?" Estelle asked Hugo. "That's Audino, she is a Pokemon that lives in the woods and she is our nurse." Hugo said to Estelle. "Audino?" Estelle said looking up Audino in the Pokedex.

Audino

The Hearing Pokemon

Normal

Using the feelers on its ears, it can tell how someone is feeling or when an egg might hatch.

"What do you mean by nurse?" Estelle asked Hugo. "Look at her ability and move Estelle." Hugo said to Estelle. "Her ability is Healer and her moves are Light Screen, Dazzling Gleam, Heal Bell, and Heal Pulse," Estelle said reading the Pokedex. "You see with those moves she can stop a battle before it gets out of hand and she is one of the only Pokemon I know that hates to fight." Hugo said to Estelle. Then Estelle walked to Metang and Audino.

"Here let me help." Estelle said to Audino as she healed Metang. Then Metang woke up and went to Rita. "Ok you want to go again." Rita said to Metang. Then Hugo hit both of them on the top of their heads. "Ok enough you two, I got to go, and I don't want you to break my house. So you two are going to spend the day together." Hugo said to Rita and Metang.

"Metang." Metang said to Hugo. "You can't stick me with him." RIta said to Hugo. "Tell you two what if you two become friends I can get some of Belius' books on aer. And I will give you a private battle lesson deal." Hugo said to Rita and Metang. "Metang." Metang said ti Hugo. "Deal." Rita said to Hugo. "In that case goodbye guys I have an event to get to." Hugo said, leaving us and returning Gallade to his Pokeball.

We then stayed at Hugo's place for a few hours practicing with the wild Pokemon that came over during that time Estelle and Audino bonded as they healed the hurt Pokemon. Rita and Metang on the other hand were having a hard time bonding. They keep staring at each other with a mean look in their eyes. Soon it was time to eat. But we noticed that Hugo was low on food so we went to get some food with Metang and Audino.

So we returned Manectric and Houndoom to their Pokeballs and left to find somewhere to eat. We found this nice little restaurant near the coliseum. Estelle was having a blast with Audino. The same couldn't be said for Rita, her and Metang; they keep butting heads. Once we finished lunch we decided to return to Hugo's house.

"You started all of this!" A man said, making us stop. We then noticed two guys getting ready to fight standing in our path with Regaey trying to stop them, but he was doing a terrible job. "Huh? What are you talking about!" one of the men said to the other. "B-both of you, s-stop this nonsense! Making a scene like this out in f-font of everyone." Regaey said to the men. "Mind your own business!" one of the men said to Regaey. Then Yuri, Bisharp, and Shuppet attacked one of them, forcing him back.

"You'd better put that away before you hurt yourself." Yuri said to the man. "Who the hell are you." The other man said as he pointed his blade at Yuri. Then Judith came and used her spear to send his sword flying and knocking him away from Yuri. "Hey." The man said to Judith. "If I'm wrong for doing this, you'll have my apology later. But I think it's you two who are in the wrong here." Judith said to the men. "Now leave before we have our friend Hugo arrest you two for fighting in the streets." I said to the men. "Damn it." one of the men said before they ran away.

"Are you okay?" Estelle asked Regaey. "Oh th-thank you so m-much!" Regaey said to us. "No problem Regaey." Ava said to Regaey. "You were w-with M-madam President K-Kaufman?" Regaey asked us. "We're the guild, Brave Vesperia!" Karol said to Regaey. "Come on, you're like a walking billboard!" Rita said to Karol. "Duosion/ Metang." Duosion and Metang said at the sametime agreeing with Rita. "Heh heh, let him have his fun." Judith said to Rita, Duosion, Metang.

"You're Regaey of Ruins' Gate, right? You might want to work out a little before you go trying to stop any more fights." Yuri said to Regaey. "I can't see Regaey doing that." Ava said to Yuri. "Oh, yes you're r-right. I'm sorry th-thanks. Oh umm, th-there's a f-favor I wanted to ask of you." Regaey said to us. "Far be it for us to ignore a request from Ruins' Gate!" Karol said to Regaey. "What is it?" I asked Regaey. "P-perhaps we could discuss this s-somewhere else. Can we go to the coliseum? W-we could talk about it there." Regaey said to us. "Give us a minute to talk about it." I said to Regaey.

We then all hoddle up. "What do you guys think?" I whispered to everyone. "Whatever he has to say, he doesn't want anyone else to overhear. Sounds pretty suspicious to me." Raven whispered to me. "If Ruins' Gate recognizes us, it'll help improve our reputation as a guild." Karol whispered to me. "Get too greedy with jobs and you'll end up neglecting all of them. Our job for the moment." Judith whispered to me. "Is to took for Phaeroh and to escort Estelle." Yuri whispered to me. "Yeah, you're right I'll try to be more careful." Karol whispered to Yuri.

"Wait a second we have to wait here for the next new moon before we can continue our job and while we're here why not get in with one of the five master guilds. After all, if we make friends with all of them we will have quite the reputation under our name." I whispered to everyone. "We should at least hear what he has to say first, and then decide whether or not to accept?" Estelle whispered to us. "Yeah, maybe you're right." Yuri whispered to us. "If he asks too much, we'll just say no. We don't have the time to be getting wrapped up in more craziness. "So we agree that we should at least hear him out." I whispered to everyone. They all nodded yes. "Ok Regaey we'll hear you out at least so let's go." I said to Regaey. "Ok this w-way please." Regaey said to use leading the way.

After a few minutes Regaey led us to an underground. "So what is the job?" I asked Regaey. "A-all right. I would like you to s-stop the man who is trying to t-take over Palestralle." Regaey said surprising us. "Take over? This city?" Karol said to us. "Hm, the plot thickness." Judith said to Regaey. "But Hugo won't let that happen." I said to Regaey. "Why are you so interested in stopping them, though? It's not your guild, so why not just let it be?" Rita asked Regaey.

"Y-you see, we have been commissioned by Palestralle to investigate the r-ruins at the coliseum." Regaey said to us. "Huh. yeah, come to think of it, this city's supposed to be supper old." Karol said to Regaey. "But why Regaey." Ava asked Regaey.

"If s-someone else took c-control, it would be discourteous to the Entelexia." Regaey said to us. "Entele… what?" Karol asked Regaey. "We need more details Regaey." I said to Regaey. "Ah oh yes. M-my apologies. D-do you not know of them?" Regaey asked us. "Now we have no idea who the Entelexeia are." I said to Regaey. "I have heard that th-they are the ancient race who built this town, and a-allow the guilds to b-be here." Regaey said to us. "An ancient race. Huh?" Yuri said to Regaey.

"Like the Kritya?" Karol said looking at Judith. "Okay, so then who's this guy who's tryin' ta rock the boat here?" Raven asked Regaey. "H-he a young man that just showed up. He's entered a tournament to challenge Master Wild." Regaey said to us. "What does Hugo get for this?" I asked Regaey. "Before Master W-wild showed up most of the people wanted to lock up the Pokemon and u-use them for sport. But when Master Wild showed us he taught us the true power of Pokemon and in return they t-taught him how to fight. Now his influence is second only to Belius." Regaey said to us.

"Again what does this have to do with Hugo." Ava asked Regaey. "Master Wild is a symbol of people and Pokemon fighting together. If he falls the people will have doubt about them and the city will be filled with people fighting over where or not they should be treated like monsters." Regaey said to us. "So if that guy wins the tournament the whole city will be in chaos." Raven said to Regaey. "So basically you want us to enter the tournament and beat him, to save Hugo, right?" Yuri said to Regaey. "Y-yes, P-please f-forgive my asking." Regaey said to us.

"Jeez, why didn't you just say so?" Rita said to Regaey. "Yeah anything to help Hugo." I said to Regaey. "But who's this man anyway?" Ava asked Regaey. "I don't know a-all I know i-is that he is being b-b-b-backed by L-Leviathan's Claw! And a group of anti-Pokemon people in the city" Regaey said to us, surprising us. "Those guys again, what are they after now." I said to Regaey.

"They want to turn the city into a place where they can sell Pokemon like slaves for money." Regaey asid to us. "That sounds like a plan someone like Cumore might come up with." Yuri said to me. "That is the next time I see Cumore he's a dead man." I said to Yuri. "Who's Cumore Oliver?" Ava asked me. "He's a noble that thinks everyone is beneath him and he's the best at everything even after I slam my maces into his face." I said to Ava.

"We have to stop him if he's really behind this. Relations between the Empire and the guilds will only worsen if we don't." Estelle said to us. "What about Phaeroh? There's no telling when you'll be able to meet him if we get into this." Judith said to Estelle. "Judith if we don't stop him this city will become a city of nightmares for Pokemon. And I don't know about you, but I'm not going to just walk away from this." I said to Judith. "He's right we have to save the Pokemon. Even if I don't meet Phaeroh I can't walk away from their Problems like it's nothing to worry about." Estelle said to Judith.

"Then I guess we're in." Judith said to Regaey. "Yeah as a Pokemon Guild we can't turn our backs on Pokemon in trouble." Karol said to Regaey. "So then who'll be entering the tournament?" Raven asked us. "I vote Yuri." I said to everyone. "Why me?" Yuri asked me. "You are the best fighter and if our enemy is full of himself he won't think a thug like you will give him a challenge and you'll win easily." I said to Yuri.

"Do I really look like a thug to you." Yuri asked me. "Yes." Everyone, but Regaey said to Yuri. "Man this is more fun when we're picking on the old man." Yuri said to us. "Mean." Raven said as we all started to laugh a little. "Ok Regaey will do it now if you excuse us we need to go enter the tournament." Yuri said to Regaey. "So d-do you mean you'll take the j-job?" Regaey asked us. "Sure, beating the champion will be good for our guild's reputation. It's not a bad deal for us at all." Yuri said to Regaey. "Yeah you're right." Karol said to Yrui. "Well r-registration is right in front of the main entrance to the Arena." Regaey said to us before leaving.

A few minutes later we made it to a table with a lady sitting in a chair with a sigh that read "Tournament entry". "I guess this is it." I said looking at the table. "What are you all doing here?" A voice said to us. We turned around to see Hugo standing there. "Oh we heard about your tournament in town and Yuri here wanted to enter." I lied to Hugo. "That's great to hear so what Pokemon are you going to use?" Hugo asked Yuri. "I don't know, I haven't thought about that yet." Yuri said to Hugo. "Then I want you to use Shuppet." Hugo said to Yuri.

"But Hugo Yuri just met Shuppet the other day and they're not ready for a tournament." Ava said to Hugo. "If I remember correctly, me and Oliver met Gallade and Manectric a few minutes before we battled together." Hugo said to Ava. "Yes and we got our butts handed to us remember." I said to Hugo.

"Not the point. Besides most of the people in this tournament have no Pokemon or they just got started. So having you work with a new Pokemon would make it far." Hugo said to us. "I'm ok with that." Yuri said to us. "Great then please put your name on you, your Pokemon, and since you're in a guild, your guild name." Hugo said, giving him a piece of paper.

Yuri then filled it out and gave it back to Hugo. "Good luck Yuri the tournament is through that door." Hugo said to Yuri. "Thanks Hugo." Yuri said as he and Shuppet left. "And what about us?" Karol asked Hugo. "I have some good sets in the Arena, we'll go there." Hugo said to us. "Good to hear. Let's go, everyone." I said to everyone as we followed Hugo to a private box. The place wasn't fancy, but it was large and it was only one story away from the fights so you can get all the action from it. "Not bad Hugo." Ava said to Hugo. "What can I say. Being friends with Belius has its perks." Hugo said as we took our sets.

NO P.O.V.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the brutal battles of the Nordopolica Coliseum!" The announcer said as Yuri and Shuppet entered the Arena. "First off, let's go over the rules of the tournament. This is a single battle elimination tournament! No second chances here! If a fighter wins three thrilling rounds in a row, he or she will earn a spot in the finals and he or she wins the finals he or she will be allowed to challenge Master Wild! Fighters if you best Master Wild in the ring not only will you receive a fantastic Prize. But you'll also receive a fabulous secret prize. We already have someone claiming the first of the two spots for the finals. And now on to the first fight to see who shall claim the second spot in the finals!" The announcer said to the crowd.

"Yuri! Good luck!" Estelle yelled to Yuri. "You'll do great, Yuri!" Karol said to Yuri. "Try not hurt yourself!" Raven said to Yuri. "And remember to watch each other back." Oliver said to Yuri and Shuppet. 'Now Yuri let's see if Zygarde was right about you.' Hugo though while looking at Yuri. "Look at all these people, this should help advertise our guild nicely." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said nodding his head yes.

"In this round's first fight, two new faces in the coliseum! Hailing from the new guils, Brave Vesperia, please welcome Yuuuuri Looweeellll and Shuuuuuupet! Their opponent, a former knight turned political activist- with a prison record, to boot- Gigantus Erungar! With his partner with a big mouth and sharp teeth Carnivine." The announcer said as a knight with a spear walked to the middle of the Arena. Next to him was a Pokemon with a giant head with long sharp teeth leaves for arms, with a yellow body and red and green vines for legs. "Carnivine." Estelle said looking it up in the Pokedex.

Carnivine

The Bug Catcher Pokemon

Grass

It walks around on its tentacles in search of a tree branch where it can dangle down and ambush Bug type Pokemon.

"Erungar!" The knight yelled. "Carnivine!" Carnivine yelled. "One a battle-hardened fighter, with a partner that's bites. One a fledgling youth, with a piece of cloth as a partner. The outcome looks set! But is it?! Welcome to the crossroad between Heaven and Hell! Our first fight is ON! Fight." The announcer as Yuri and the knight started to fight. "Carnivine use Bite." Erungar said as he charged at Yuri.

"Carnivine." Carnivine said as his teeth grew longer and white. "Shuppet use Shadow Sneak and dodge it." Yuri said as he dodged Erungar's attack and landed a hit on Erungar. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he disappeared into Yuri's shadow. "Carnivine?" Carnivine said, wondering where Shuppet went.

Then Shuppet reappeared right under Carnivine and slammed into its jaw. "Now use Confuse Ray." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said, firing a ball of light at Carnivine. Then the light hit Carnivine right in the middle of its eyes. Soon ducks started to spin around Carnivine's head. "Carnivine focus and use Vine Whip." Erungar said to Carnivine as Yuri dodged and striked again. Carnivine didn't say anything. Then Carnivine fired his vine at Erungar and not Shuppet. "What are you doing?" Erungar said to Carnivine. "Now use Knock Off on Erungar." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he flew to Erungar knocking away his weapon.

"Now uses Will-O-Wisp on Carnivine." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as it made a few balls of purple flames. "Carnivine focus and use Bite." Erungar said as he went for his weapon, but Yuri stopped him and started to attack him, not letting him get his weapon. Carnivine didn't say anything again but his teeth grew longer and white and charged at Shuppet.

Then Shuppet fired the balls of fire into Carnivine's mouth. "Carnivine!" Carnivine screamed as the confusion wore off and it felt the flames in its mouth. "Now use Knock Off on Carnivine." Yuri said as he swung his blade at Erungar. "Shuppet." Shuppet said, knocking Carnivine into Erungar the same time Yuri slashed Erungar.

Soon Erungar and Carnivine were out cold. "Yuri Lowel and Shuppet have one win. Bring in the healers and help get Erungar and Carnivine out of the Arena." The announcer said as people came and picked Erungar and Carnivine up and took them away. Then a woman wearing white robes and a big round Pokemon walked to Yuri and Shuppet. The Pokemon's top was pink and its bottom was white it had an egg in the middle of its body. It had pink curls for hair and white frailes on its arms and waist. "What's that?" Estelle asked Hugo. "That's Blissey, she's a healer like Audino." Hugo said to Estelle while she looked it up in the Pokedex.

Blissey

The Happiness Pokemon

Normal

Its fluffy fur coat acts as a sensor, enabling it to read the feelings of people and Pokemon.

"Blissey uses Heal Pulse. First Aid." The woman in white said she healed Yuri. "Blissey." Blissey said as she started to shine making a chime sound. Then Shuppet started to shine. Soon both finished their moves and left the Arena. "For Yuri and Shuppet second round, we welcome the hellacious bandanna-clad thief, jugem jerome! And his star Staryu!" The announcer said as a man wearing a few pieces of armor came out with a brown star with a yellow center and a red core. "Staryu?" Estelle said looking it up in the Pokedex.

Staryu

The Starshape Pokemon

Water

In many places, there are folktales of stardust falling into the ocean and becoming Staryu.

"Keh heh heh, where are more Staryu. Give me more Staryu." Jugem said to Yuri and Shuppet. Staryu red core just flashed. "Fight." The announcer said as Jugem and Staryu started to charge at Yuri and Shuppet. "Staryu uses Swift." Jugem said to Staryu. Staryu red core flashed before it fired a bunch of stars at Shuppet and Yuri. "You can't beat my stars." Jugem said as Yuri dodged the stars.

But Shuppet didn't move. The stars went right through him. "What imposible Sraryu uses Swift again." Jugem said to Staryu while attacking Yuri who was easily dodging him. Then Staryu fired more stars at Shuppet and again it went through him. Jugem was getting mad and started to swing wildly at Yuri while ordering Staryu to keep using Swift.

"I guess I need to teach him again." Hugo said watching the battle. "What are you talking about." Oliver asked Hugo. "Jugem loves Staryu's and will only use Swift for an attack. I tried to tell him that it's not going to get you far if you only use Swift." Hugo said to Oliver. "Why not?" Karol asked Hugo. "You see Katol. Shuppet is a ghost type and Swift is a Normal type Attack. That means no matter how many times Staryu uses it it will go right through Shuppet." Hugo said to Karol.

While they were talking Jugem and Staryu started to get tired from all the attacking. "Okay let's finish this Shuppet use Knock Off." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he slammed into Staryu red core sending it flying. Then Yuri slashed Jugem across his chest and sent him flying. Soon both Jugem and Staryu were out cold.

"That's it. Yuri and Shuppet have two wins." The announcer said as The Healer and Blissey came out and healed Yuri and Shuppet while Jugem and Staryu were taken out of the Arena. "Now for Yuri's and Shuppet third round! A Masked Warrior, undefeated with the sword, Johann De Marc! And his partner the tiny Pumpkaboo." The announcer said as a big armored man with a big sword and a really small Pokemon walked to the middle of the Arena. The Pokemon's top half was covered in black hair with a swirl on top and it's bottom half was orange with two holes in it. It also had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. "Pumpkaboo?" Estelle said looking it up in the Pokedex.

Pumpkaboo

The Pumpkin Pokemon

Grass / Ghost

Spirits that wander this world are placed into Pumpkaboo's body. They're then moved on to the Afterlife.

"It saids that Pumpkaboos come in four sizes, Small, Average, Large, and Super. And that one is a Small size Pumpkaboo." Estelle said before putting the pokedex away. "Soon you will know the exquisite pain of my sword! While my Pumpkaboo stops you!" Johann said to Yuri and Shuppet. "Is it blind luck or is it skill that helps Yuri Lowel and Shuppet make it this far? Everything will be decided in this one battle! Fight!" The announcer said as Johann charged at Yuri.

"Pumpkaboo uses Flash." Johann said to Pumpkaboo who was right behind him. "Pumpkaboo." Pumpkaboo said as a large blinding light came from Pumpkaboo. Yuri covered his eyes from the light but since Pumpkaboo was behind Johann. Johann was unaffected by the Flash, but so was one other. Johann was about to bring down his sword on Yuri's head when Shuppeet pushed Yuri out of the way. "Thanks Shuppet." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said to Yuri. "Ok now how do we bet this guy?" Yuri said as they backed away from Johann.

"Shuppet." Shuppet said, pointing to Pumpkaboo. "You think we should take it out first?" Yuri asked Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said nodding his head yes. "Ok then when he uses Flash again I want you to push me to the side and use Shadow Sneak then Knock Off." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said nodding his head yes while Johann right for them. "Use Flash Pumpkaboo." Johann said as he reached Yuri and Shuppet. "Pumpkaboo." Pumpkaboo said as it made the blinding light again. But this time they were ready for it.

Shuppet saw the blade coming at him and pushed Yuri out of the way and disappeared into Yuri's shadow. Once the light died down he noticed Shuppet was missing. "Where did your Partner go?" Johann asked Yuri. "Pumpkaboo!" Pumpkaboo yelled, making Jahonn turn to his partner. Then he saw Shuppet floating next to Pumpkaboo before slamming into Pumpkaboo sending Pumpkaboo flying into him. "Pumpkaboo." Jahonn said as he tossed his sword and picked up Pumpkaboo.

"Shuppet use Confuse Ray." Yuri said to Shuppet. "Shuppet." Shuppet said, firing a ball of light at Johann. The ball of light hit Johann right in the face and then ducks started to spin around his head. Then Yuri started to strike Johann. Johann tried to get his sword but the Confuse Ray was making that hard. Soon Johann fell to the floor. "And Yuri and Shuppet did it's they won three rounds in a row. That means it's time for the finals." The announcer said as The Healer and Blissey came out and healed Yuri and Shuppet while Johann and Pumpkaboo were taken out of the Arena.

"He's doing great." Hugo said to Oliver. "I got to admit they're doing then I thought they would." Oliver said to Hugo. "At this rate Yuri will stop the bad guys trying to take over the city." Karol said out loud. "What are you talking about?" Hugo asked Karol. "We heard about these guys trying to take over the city. Some anti-Pokemon people that live in the city and want to turn Pokemon into slaves for fighting and weapons." Estelle said to Hugo. "Who told you that?" Hugo asked them. "We heard it from Regaey." Ava said to Hugo. "Then Regaey was lying there, no group like that here. Belius accepted the Pokemon before I showed up, and everyone was ok with that." Hugo said to us.

"Wait then why did Regaey lie to us?" Oliver said, rubbing his chin. "Well it just keeps getting better! Now it's time for the main event! Allow me to introduce the man who will be facing Yuri Lowel and Shuppet!" The announcer said as Yuri's Opponent walked to the middle of the Arena. "What?" Estelle said looking at the man. "It can't be." Oliver said as the man that they thought was the bad guy turned out to be Flynn with a Pokemon that wasn't with Rookidee. It was a small black and blue dog that was standing on two legs. It had red eyes and white bonds on the back of its arms. "What is that Pokemon?" Estelle asked them. "It's a Riolu." Hugo said to Estelle "Riolu?" Estelle said looking it up in the Pokedex.

Riolu

The Emanation Pokemon

Fighting

It can use waves called auras to gauge how others are feeling. These same waves can also tell this Pokemon about the state of the environment.

It says its ability is Inner Focus and it's moves are Detect, Bone Rush, Power-Up Punch, Quick Attack. But where's Rookidee?" Estelle said before putting the Pokedex away. "Wait, you know him?" Hugo asked us. "Yeah he's a knight that's Yuri oldest friend." Karol said to Hugo. "How do you know him?" Oliver asked Hugo.

"I met him this morning and he wanted to meet Belius. But I told him that he couldn't. He followed me and asked me again and again if he could meet Belius. During that time I was looking at some of the Pokemon that made their home in the Coliseum. One of those Pokemon was Riolu. And then out of nowhere Riolu just ran to us and started to show off his moves. I then got an idea and told Flynn. "If you want to meet Belius then you must win the tournament and you will have to use Riolu." he protects for a bit, but I convince him to enter. And they did great even though I just told Flynn what Riolu's moves could do. With ease he won his three rounds. After that I found you guys." Hugo said to them. While they talked the announcer introduced Flynn and Riolu to the crowd. Then Hugo stared at Flynn

'So far I'm impressed maybe Zygarde was right about all of them. But I'm still worried about this Flynn boy. Zygarde said he can help but he doesn't think for himself. He follows orders. After I told him no. I told him to go have fun, but he said he was ordered to meet Belius. And When Riolu showed up to impress me and Flynn, Flynn just asked him to leave so that we could talk. But I can't deny his skills. He beat his three opponents with ease and after just teaming up with Riulo. Now let's see how he handles someone who knows him.' Hugo thought while looking at Flynn.

"Then where's Rookidee?" Estelle asked Hugo, breaking Hugo out of his thoughts. "He left him with his friends." Hugo said to Estelle. "Yuri? What are you doing here? And where's Bisharp and who's that?" Flynn asked Yuri as he noticed Shuppet instead of Bisharp next to Yuri. "He's with the other. And this is my new friend Shuppet. So you're the evil villain who's trying to kill Hugo. And where's Rookidee and who's that?" Yuri said to FLynn as he noticed that Riolu was next to him and not Rookidee. "His name is Riolu and Rookidee is with Sodia. Now want to tell me what you're talking about?" Flynn asked Yuri.

"Heh, so we're being used." Yuri said to Flynn. "It seems that way." Flynn said to Yuri. Soon they both drew their weapons. "Men of the Coliseum! Let the flames of your valor burn bright! It's time for the final showdown!" The announcer said as they charged at each other. "Riolu uses Bone Rush." Flynn said to Riolu. "Riolu." Riolu said as he clamps his two hands together and a large blue bone grew out of his hands. Then Riolu started to swing the bone like a two handed sword at Shuppet. "Shuppet use Knock Off." Yuri said as he swung his sword at Flynn. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he slammed into Riolu's hands trying to make him drop his bone.

"Aren't you cutting it a bit close?" Flynn asked Yuri as he blocked one of the attacks with his shield. "Hey these people didn't pay good money to see a rigged fight." Yuri said as he and Shuppet back up to strike again. But Flynn and Riolu used their bone and sword to turn them around and ran to their back.

"You could at least ease up a little." Flynn said to Yuri. "Like you two are having any trouble blocking us. Use Shadow Sneak." Yuri said to Flynn as he and Shuppet jumped forward. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he disappeared. "Riolu keep a eye out for Shuppet." Flynn said to Riolu while he and Yuri started to sword fight.

Riolu looked around waiting for the second Shuppet to show himself. Then he felt something behind him. He turned around to see Shuppet who was just about to strike. Shuppet then hit Riolu right in the middle of his body. But Riolu was able to swing his bone at Shuppet. The two attacks sent them flying back their Trainers who forced each other back was well.

"So care to explain what you're doing here?" Yuri asked Flynn. "You know, knightly duties and such. Afraid that's all I can say." Fylnn said to Yuri. "Since when is challenging one of Oliver's friends one of your duties? Especially for a captain of the Knights?" Yuri asked Flynn. "I'm not at liberty to say." Flynn said to Yuri. "Shuppet use Knock Off again." Yuri said as he and Flynn started to fight again. At the same time Shuppet and Riolu were fighting as hard and fast, just like their Trainers.

"I think it's great you're taking your promotion so seriously, but be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew." Yuri said to Fylnn as they locked swords. "You're the one taking this seriously. It's been a while since I've seen you enjoy anything this much. And don't you think it's about time you returned Her Highness? And then maybe you can convince Oliver to come with me?" Flynn said to Yuri as Shuppet and Riolu lock attacks.

"You'll have to take that up with the lady herself. And Oliver won't go with you by choice." Yuri said to Flynn. "Oliver sounds just like Her Highness. She tends not to listen to the things I tell her." Flynn said to Yuri. "Yeah well they aren't particularly fond of taking my advice either." Yuri said as everyone broke their locks and backed away from each other.

"Well shall we put an end to this little show?" Flynn asked Yuri. "How? If we quit now they'll boo us out of the building." Yuri asked FLynn. "Yuriiiiiii. Lowell!" A voice screamed. Then a cloud of smoke apereade in the middle of the Arena. "Oh you gotta be kidding." Yuri said as the smoke cleared reviling Zagi with a new robotic right arm. "What do we have here! Has someone arrived to steal the spotlight from the stars of the show?" The announcer said as everyone noticed Zagi.

"NOT THAT PSYCHO AGAIN." Oliver screamed. "You know that guy?" Ava and Hugo said at the same time. "He's a psycho that is obsessed with Yuri and Doublade. Last time we saw him we destroyed his right arm." Oliver said Hugo and Ava.

"Yuri! You've managed to stay alive long enough for me to kill you! Now let me show you my thanks! Now bring out those blades of yours!" Zagi said to Yuri. "Heh heh. Hate to disappoint you, but I've got other reasons for sticking around. And Doublade isn't mine." Yuri said as Shuppet hid behind Yuri.

"You and those blades are the only man ever to make me bleed, and I swear that both of you will die by my hand!" Zagi said to Yuri. "Man, why not do something a little more productive with all that energy?" Yuri said to Zagi. "Watch this!" Zagi said as he fired an energy pulse out of his new arm.

"Whoa! What is that?" Karol said as everyone got up. "It's a blastia! I can't believe he'd try to use it like that!" Rita said looking at Zagi. "Focus Rita, we have a problem." Oliver said to Rita. "I've got a bad feeling about this." Raven said, looking at Zagi. "Me two that guy gives me the creeps." Ava said to Raven.

"That blastia." Judith said looking at Zagi. "It can't be." Hugo said as he, Judith, and Vibrava, jumped over the side and into the Arena. "Judith! Vibrava!" Estelle said as she watched them jump. "Hugo what are you doing!" Oliver asked Hugo. "We have to stop him, let's go. Roserade help us." Hugo said as they landed on the ground.

Then a flower like a human appeared next to Hugo. with a white flower for hair. It had a green cloak and mask on. It's hands were red and blue flower bouquets. "Roserade." Roserade said to Hugo. "Roserade?" Estelle said looking Roserade up in the Pokedex.

Roserade

The Bouquet Pokemon

Grass / Poison

The poison in its right hand is quick acting. The poison in its left hand is slow acting. Both are life threatening.

"Come on we need to deal with this guy." Hugo said to Roserade. "He's right, let's go Doublade." Oliver said as he jumped down and let Doublade out of his Pokeball. "Come one guy, let's go Delphox." Ava said as she jumped down. Then everyone and all the Pokemon jumped after them. "Hey what are you four doing?" Rita said as everyone ran to Yuri and Shuppet. "What could this mean for the tournament? Oh screw this. I'm outta here!" The announcer said as he ran away.

"How do you like my arm? You and those blades did this to me, and now I'll use it to destroy you all! Hah hah hah hah!" Zagi said to Yuri. "Yuri." Estelle said as everyone made it to Yuri and Shuppet. Then Zagi noticed Doublade. "Aw there you are." Zagi said to Doublade. "Doublade." Doublade said to Zagi. "Come, Yuri, Doublade! let me show you my new toy!" Zagi said as he started to attack. "Flynn go get your knights." Hugo said to Flynn. Flynn just nodded his head before he and Riolu left them.

"Bisharp uses Thief and Shupet uses Knock Off." Yuri said as he started to counter attacks from Zagi. "Bisharp." Bisharp said as he took the weapon out of Zagi's right hand. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he knocked the weapon out of Zagi's left. "Now let's try to calm you down. Roserade uses Grass Whistle." Hugo said to Roserade. "Roserade." Roserade said as she put her hands together and started to play a song. Soon music started to fly to Zagi.

Once the music hit Zagi he started to fall asleep. Then Hugo started to charge at Zagi. "I can't sleep not until I kill Yuri and Doublade." Zagi said as he punched his leg with his robotic arm sending a pulse of energy into his leg. The pain he caused broke the Grass Whistle effect. Then he dodged Hugo's attack

"That's not good Doublade uses Iron Head." Oliver said to Doublade as he charged at Zagi with Repede following them. Then Doublades blades turned dark Silver. Then all three of them tried to strike Zagi but he dodge them and ran to the weapon. "Oh no you don't Delphox use Psychic on his weapons." Ava said to Delphox as she shot an arrow into the wall on the Arena.

"Delphox." Delphox said as she pulled out one of her sticks. Soon Zagi's weapons had a purple outline and floated. Then Delphox pointed her stick at the arrow Ava put into the wall. Soon Zagi's weapons were handing well out of his hands. At least that's what Ava thought. Zagi then started to make a run for his weapons again while firing energy pulse at them.

"Skiddo stop him with Rock Slide." Karol said to Skiddo as they ran dodging Zagi's attacks. Skiddo." Skiddo said as rock started to fall from the sky landing in front of Zagi andaronud him. But Zagi was dodging all of the rocks and moving through them with ease.

"Drilbur uses Dig and Stableye uses Fury Swipe." Raven said as he fired arrows at Zagi. "Drilbur." Drilbur said as he went under. "Sableye." Stableye said as he charged at Zagi with sharp white claws. But even with the arrows, and Fury Swipes Zagi dodged them all. "Drilbur." Drilbur said as it appeared in front of Zagi getting ready to attack. But Zagi dodged Drilbur attack and then stepped on Drilbur as him as a boost.

Zagi then jumped up and grabbed his weapons. "You think your little monsters will stop me from killing Yuri and Doublade." Zagi said charging at Yuri again. "Everyone hold on. Vibrava uses Bulldoze." Judith said as she got down. "Vibrava." Vibrava said as he flew up and then down into the ground making an earth wave sending Zagi flying away from them.

"What is with this guy? None of our attacks are working on him." Ava said to Oliver. "I told you he's a psycho. He probably spent a lot of time practicing for this rematch." Oliver said to Ava.

"Then let's throw a curveball at him Estelle, Rita, this is all on you." Hugo said to Estelle and Rita. "Us? What do you want us to do?" Rita asked Hugo. "Girls you have Audino and Metang I doubt Zagi knows much about them. "Come on Rita let's do it." Estelle said to Rita. "Ok fine." Rita said to Estelle. "Hugo, if you got a plan do it Yuri and me will buy you some time." Oliver said as he and Yuri charged at Zagi.

"Ok Estelle, Rita now." Hugo said to Estelle and Rita. "Ok Audino uses Dazzling Gleam. And Togetic uses Air Slash." Estelle said to her Pokemon. "Audino." Audino said as she started to shine in multiple colors. "My eyes." Zgari said, covering his eyes. "Togetic." Togetic said firing two wind blades from her wings cutting his robotic arm. "My arm." Zagi said, looking at his arm still blinded by the light.

"Duosion uses Pyshock and Metang uses Bullet Punch." Rita said to Duosion and Metang as she started to cast a fireball. "Duosion." Dousion said as she started to make dark purple ords. "Metang." Metang said as he charged at Zagi at high speed.

Soon Audino light started to fade and Zagi could see again. And the first thing he saw was Metang coming right at him. Zagi didn't have time to reach before Metang punched Zagi in the face. Then Metang went up just in time for Rita and Duosion attacks to hit Zagi sending him flying into the middle of the Arena. Zagi landed on his back. "Let's finish him." Yuri said as he charged at Zagi. "Doublade helped him with Sacred Sword." Oliver said to Doublade. "Doublade." Doublade said as his blades became long and purple.

Zagi saw them coming and got up to block them. Doublade stricted first forced his weapons down. Then Yuri came to deliver the finishing blow. Zagi then forced Doublade to the side and block Yuri's attack with his robotic arm. But Yuri's attack combined with the cuts Togetic did broke Zagi's robotic arm. Now he dropped his weapons and started to hold his robotic arm which was beginning to overload. "It's out of his control! That's what he gets for using it like that!" Rita said while looking at Zagi. "I thought it's because we broke it." Oliver said to Rita.

"This damn blastia's not doing what I want it to!" Zagi said as he pointed his robotic hand into the sky. Soon Zagi fired a giant pulse of energy into the air. The energy crashed into a side of the Arena breaking the wall letting monsters into the Arena. "M-monsters!" Karol said as he saw the monster come at them. "What are they doing here?" Yuri asked Hugo. "We keep them here to be used in some tournaments! That shock just now must have destroyed the barrier blastia that was holding them in!" Hugo said to Yuri.

Then Zagi ran away using the monsters as cover. "He's getting away!" Judith said as Estelle got hit by a monster and landed right in front of Judith. "Togetic." Togetic said as she uses Zen Headbutt to send the monster that attacked Estelle flying. "Audino." Audino said as she used Heal Pulse to help Estelle. "Thanks Audino." Estelle said as she got up. "Damn it, guess we'll have to take care of the monsters first." Yuri said to everyone as he killed a monster. "You got that right Yuri. Everyone spread out and killed as many monsters as you can.

Soon everyone started to fight the monsters. But the monster just keeped coming. Each time they killed one another came out of the broken wall. "This is becoming' a real pain in the neck." Raven said as everyone formed a circle in the middle of the Arena. "Just keep Fighting." Ava said as she fired another arrow in the eyes. Ava and Delphox were so busy fighting that they didn't notice a monster about to strike them.

"Ava, look out." Oliver said as he pushed Ava out of the way. Oliver took the hit and fell on to the ground. "Ah." Oliver said as he landed on the ground. Then the Box from the Ghost ship fell out of his bag and landed next to Rita.

Rita didn't notice the box when she started to cast a spell. Soon Rita spell and the box started to glow bright. "Wh-what?" Karol said as he and Skiddo turned to Rita. Then Rita fired a giant fireball destroying the monsters in front of her, Estelle, Duosion, Metang, Togetic, and Audino. "Metang." Metang said he was impressed by Rita's power. "Hey. what's going on?!" Rita said as Estelle picked up the box. "Could this box be causing everything?" Estelle said as her and Rita looked at the box.

Then out of nowhere Regaey came and took the box out of Estelle's hands. "Him." Rita said as Regaey ran out of the Arena. "Shuppet." Shuppet said as he, Repede,Judith, Vibrava went after Regaey. "Hear me Knights! Sodia will command this division and eliminate the remaining monsters." Flynn said as he, Riolu, and Rookidee, made it the announcer's box.

"Shouldn't evacuating these people come first?" Yuri said as he killed a monster. "Yeah what about the people." Oliver said as he killed a monster. "The rest of you will defend the spectators with me! Don't let even one of the beasts escape!" Flynn said to his knights. "I spoke too soon." Oliver said to Yuri.

"Heh, looks like Flynn was thinking ahead. He even sounds like a real captain already. We're getting out of here." Yuri said to everyone. "Judith, Shuppet, Vibrava, and your puppy dog already took off." Rita said to Yuri. "Yeah I heard." Yuri said to Rita. "Then come on we can't let that thief Regaey get away." Oliver said as everyone, but Raven, Drilbur, and Stableye, ran out of the Arena.

"A hero's work is never done." Raven said to Drilbur and Stableye. "Raven, Drilbur, Stableye, move it or we're leaving you." Ava said to Raven, Drilbur, and Stableye. "Hey wait up!" Raven said as they ran to the rest of the team.

Everyone then ran to the entrance to the Coliseum where they met Judith and Vibrava. "We lost him." Judith said to everyone. "Vibrava ." Vibrava said looking sorry. "He's pretty good at running away." Yuri said to Judith. "Repede and Shuppet is still after him." Judith said to Yuri. "Hopefully he won't lose the trail." Yuri said to Judith.

"But what's the deal anyway? Why would Regaey?" Karol asked everyone. "Think he set us up somehow?" Raven asked everyone. "You can ask him that when we catch him." Ava said to everyone. But Yuri was deep in thought.

"Yuri you good?" Oliver asked Yuri. "I was just wondering why Flynn was in Hugo's tournament?" Yuri said to everyone. "I told him that if he wanted to meet Belius, he would have to beat me in a fight." Hugo said to Yuri. "Why does Flynn want's with Belius?" Yuri asked Hugo. "I tried to ask him, but he said he couldn't tell me and he had orders." Hugo said to Yuri. "We can worry about Flynn later first let's deal with Regaey." Oliver said to everyone.

"But what was Regaey up to?" Estelle asked them. "Maybe Regaey was trying to kill Hugo and he hired Zagi to kill him. But Regaey didn't know that Zagi's only target was Yuri and he striked to soon." Oliver said to Estelle. "But Regaey seemed so polite." Karol said looking down. "He didn't seem too polite when he was making off with that case." Rita said to Karol. "This might mean Ruins' Gate is nothing' more than a false front." Raven said to everyone.

"Probably if Regaey really did try to kill Hugo then I think that he'll do anything to keep his profite." Oliver said to everyone. "What do you mean Oliver." Karol asked Oliver. "Some people will do anything to protect their money or to gain it." Ava said to Karol.

"But still what could he want with that box?" Judith asked everyone. "Just what was the clear ciel crystal?" Estelle asked everyone. "I don't know but it did something to Rita's magic." Oliver said to Rita. "Yeah something in that box made my magic go all heywire. I'd never lost control of my Bodhi Blastia like that before." Rita said, agreeing with Oliver.

"Hey, if we've got the time ta be standin' around chattin'. Shouldn't we be chasin' after Shuppet and your doggy freind?" Raven said to Everyone. "You're right, we should be going." Judith said to Raven. "Then let's go." Hugo said as they all ran to find Repede and Shuppet.

Soon they all found Repede and Shuppet by one of the city's exits. "Repede! Shuppet!" Estelle said as she went to pet them. 'Look is this?" Judith said as she pulled a piece of fabric out of Repede mouth. "Repede'll be able to follow his scent with this." Yuri said, taking the fabric. "Woof." Repede bark in agreement.

"Go work Repede and Shuppet." Oliver said petting them. "We've gotta get that box back!" Rita said to everyone. "She's right let's go." Oliver said to everyone. "Guilds don't take kindly ta backstaabbin' cheats." Raven said to everyone. "That's right." Karol said agreeing with Raven. "But where could he go?" Ava asked everyone.

"He couldn't just cross the mountains to the west. There's only one way to cross those mountains. We should be able to catch up with him if we hurry." Judith said to everyone. "Alright let's get him." Yuri said to Judith.

"Do you think the coliseum will be okay?" Estelle asked Hugo. "Are you worried about it?" Judith asked Estelle. "Don't worry about it Estelle. I'm sure Natz and Flynn have it under control." Hugo said to Estelle. "Are you sure?" Estelle asked Hugo. "I'm sure Estelle. Now let's go catch that thief. I have a few sharp words for him." Hugo said looking at his blades.

"He's right Estelle we need to go. I'm curious about that red box. Besides, I won't feel right till I give that idiot a piece of my mind." Rita said to Estelle. "Then I." Estelle said wondering what to do. "Decide for yourself." Yuri said to Estelle. "The choice is yours." Oliver said to Estelle "I… I'll come too." Estelle said to Yuri and Oliver. "Ok enough talking if we want to catch that thief we need to go now." Ava said to everyone. Then everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Ok Metang it's been fun but we have to go. So go home" Rita said to Metang. "And it's been fun hanging out with You Audino, but it's time we parted ways." Estelle to Audino. "Audino / Metang." The two of them said, shaking their heads no. "I think they want to come with us." Hugo said to Estelle and Rita.

"What more Pokemon." Rita said to Hugo. "Guys we don't have time to argue about this Audino and Metang are coming. Now let's go." Oliver said to everyone as everyone but Estelle, Rita, Togetic, Audino. "Fine, but I'm not happy about this." Rita said as she went after the team. "Duosion." Dousion said agreeing with Rita as she followed her. "Metang." Metang said following them.

"I'm glad you're coming with us." Estelle said to Audino. "Togetic." Togetic said to Audino. "Audino. Audino said, thanking them. "ESTELLE, TOGETIC, AUDINO GET A MOVE ON!" Oliver yelled at them. "Right we're coming." Estelle said as she started to run. "Togetic." Togetic said following Estelle. "Audino." Audino said following Estelle.

'Well it looks like the dream team really is back together. Here we are chasing after a guy that stole from us. Just like when we were kids. But now we got more friends and Pokemon and I couldn't be happier. But something tells me that things are only going to get worse before it gets better.' Oliver thought as they ran after Regaey to get that box back.
