Episode 246: Watt's Up, Doc?

After the whole Trick House ordeal and waking up to see doodles on their faces, Sora, Kairi, Brendan, May, May, Max, Lisia, Rei, the DigiDestined, Pikachu, and Angel all went to the Pokémon Center, so Sora and Kairi explained to their master about Jigglypuff and her obsession with stardom.

"So if I'm understanding correctly, that particular Jigglypuff seems to think that she's a star, and she doesn't seem to realize that she puts her entire audience to sleep whenever she sings and then it gets mad and doodles on everyone's faces when she sees everyone asleep," Rei said.

"Yes," Sora and Kairi confirmed.

"Well, I can say is, we have ourselves a selfish brat on our hands," Rei said. This made all of her apprentices laugh when she made that joke. Rei laughed as well. "Okay, okay, now that the Trick House Contest is behind us, how about we focus on having the Gym battles ahead of us."

"You're right, Master. I have decided to use my Treecko, Barboach, and Nincada for this one," Sora said.

"So Grass and Ground-types, huh? Good thinking, Sora. How about you, Brendan? Have you made any choices yet?" Rei asked.

"I didn't make up my mind yet, so I think I'd have Sora have his first," Brendan said.

"You sure, Brendan?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I still haven't trained much for it anyway," Brendan said.

"If you feel that way, Brendan, I guess I'll try to win it for the both of us," Sora said.

"Thanks, Sora," Brendan said.

On the next day, Sora, Treecko, Baroboach, and Nincada did some last minute training before he challenged the Gym Leader to a battle. And when he was ready, Sora, Kairi, Rei, Brendan, May, Max, Lisia, the DigiDestined, Pikachu, and Angel have made it to the Mauville City Gym to challenge the Gym Leader.

"Here it is. This has to be the Gym," Sora said.

"Lisia, any idea on who runs the show down here?" Ken asked.

"Well, the Gym Leader here is named Wattson, so he does specialize with Electric-type Pokemon, but he has an 'eccentric' personality, but not like the King of Tricks if you're thinking that," Lisia said.

"I hope you're right, Lisia, because I'm still sore from the Trick House Contest from yesterday," Tai said.

"But it was pretty funny," Kari said.

"Well, it wasn't funny for me," Sora said with his cheeks puffing up. He remembered getting soaked and hit in the face. He sighed to himself as he said in his thoughts, "I'm just glad Karen wasn't here, because she won't let me hear the end of this."

"Well, let's step inside and get it over with," Joe said.

"Joe's right. Let's do this," Sora said.

With that settled, Sora, attempts to open the door, but it go open it. When it touched it, the door fell over.

"What the?" Brendan asked.

"What's this?" May asked.

"How weird," Max said.

They all stepped on the door which turns out to be a platform, so it starts moving. The real door closes behind them.

"Is this how they welcome you to a Gym?" Tai asked.

"If it is, then it's a funny way of showing it," Sora T said.

The platform follows the hallway as it curved while doors opened automataically.

"I feel like I'm in an amusement park," Max said as the platform started to raise uphill.

"Well, I'm not amused," May said.

"It feels like..." Matt said as the group saw the downhill ahead of them.

"ROLLERCOASTER!" The group shouted as they down downhill. Joe and Yolei's glasses almost go flying, so they quickly caught them and placed them back on.

Watching the group from the control room, there is a short, chubby old man with white hair that stands up and has a white beard with a smile. He wore a yellow jumpsuit, with pockets on his hips. He green jacket, with thunder print on it. He also wears brown and yellow sandals. The old man laughed.

"Welcome, my friends, to a place where fun never ends!" The old man said as he laughed again. Just then, a referee came in the control room.

"Mr. Wattson, did you turn up the power on that thing again?" The referee asked.

"Of course, it's my way of welcoming challengers to the gym. I'm glad I got it done yesterday, cause like I always say, if you're gonna do something, do it big. Watching those youngsters on that ride makes me feel like I'm playing right along with them," Wattson said as he laughed again.

The platform came down and it turns into a rough water ride.

"I think you might have gone too far," the referee said.

"Nonsense! Just think of this as a little warm-up before battle," Wattson said.

"If you say so," the referee said.

"Ah, they're coming to the best part!" Wattson exclaimed with delight.

The platform stopped as a robot Raikou appeared before the group.

"Wow, a Raikou!" Max exclaimed.

"No, it's a robot!" Rei corrected.

"Okay, Pikachu, you take can take care of this! Use Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt right at the robot Raikou, so the robot fired an electric blast in response. Pikachu managed to push back and causes the robot's head explodes and it falls over.

"That was great! Great! And I must confess, I never thought I'd see the day when my Electro-Raikou was turned into a pile of scrap metal," Wattson laughed. "Welcome to the Mauville City Gym!"

"Are you Wattson?" Sora asked.

"Yes, I am. So which one of you is here to challenge me into a battle?" Wattson asked.

"That'll be me, sir," Sora said.

"What's your name, son?" Wattson asked.

"Sora, and I came from Pallet Town," Sora replied.

"Well, I accept your challenge, Sora. Let's be sure to have loads of fun, shall we?" Wattson asked as he laughed.

Meanwhile, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill all arrived to what looks like an old power plant. Ash and Leaf were surprised to see Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill have come on the scene.

"Ethan, Lyra, Kris!" Leaf said.

"We weren't't expecting to see you here," Ash said.

"Same with us, Ash," Lyra said.

"Marill, Marill," Marill said.

"Are you here because of the monster sightings, too?" Kris asked.

"Yeah, we are," Leaf said.

"We think some Heartless, Nobodies, or Unversed have been spotted in this area, so we're looking into it," Ash said.

"Great minds think alike, I guess," Ethan said.

"Well, it's a good thing you're here, because we might need some help whatever's here," Ash said.

"We should find out what it is just by going in," Lyra said.

"I second that," Leaf said.

"Okay, guys. Stick together," Ash said.

The Keyblade wielding Pokémon Trainers summoned their Keyblades and stepped inside the grounds of the power plant and they saw the Voltorb, Magnemite, Magneton, and Electrike all scared. They knew there was something in there with them.

"Something's scaring all of these Pokémon, and it isn't us," Kris said.

"You're right, Kris. And we're gonna find out what it is at any moment," Ash said.

And it wasn't a moment too soon as Heartless appeared before them and quickly surrounded them. The Heartless consisted of Shadows, Soldiers, Yellow Operas, and some new Heartless.

One most prominent feature is the single, large wheel that comprises its lower body and provides its only means of movement. It is almost entirely black and is covered in red computer circuitry. Its head is long, sleek, and oval-shaped, and sports a jagged, red antenna on its top. Each of its short arms lead into grey, cylindrical hands tipped with conical, red spikes. Its glowing, yellow eyes are just barely visible in the front of its head. Its Heartless emblem is on its chest. They also came in five colors: red, blue, green, gold, and silver. These Heartless are known as the Magnum Loader.

Heartless is a thin, mechanical, humanoid Heartless made of black material covered in thin, yellow circuitry. Its head resembles that of a Shadow, being a black sphere with glowing, yellow eyes. It wears a diamond-shaped helmet with an angular, curled antenna connected to its top. Its upper arms are quite thin, while its forearms are wide and flat. Its legs are much shorter than its arms, and the Heartless emblem is emblazoned on its chest. It moves in a jerking, robotic manner. This Heartless is known as the Strafer.

Another is a mechanical Heartless that has large, spherical, black head with glowing yellow eyes encased in a funnel-shaped suit of armor. It has a flat helmet with a jagged, black antenna on its top. At the base of the funnel is a large turret with a violet shaft and a black tip. Three lavender, H-shaped pieces float around the tip of the cannon. It also has four cylindrical "legs". None of these legs are directly connected to the Heartless, and instead levitate around it. The Heartless has two forms. One is a tank-like, ground-based one in which it walks along the ground using its legs for locomotion and its turret for attacks. The other is a levitating, aerial one that uses its legs to bludgeon opponents and seems to use its turret to remain floating. The large Heartless is predominantly black and covered in violet computer circuitry. Its Heartless emblem is on its front, just under the rim of the funnel. This Heartless is known as the Devastator.

"Heartless!" Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra exclaimed. The Heartless begun their assault as the Keyblade wielders have begun to fight back against the Heartless.

Back to the Mauville City Gym, Sora and Wattson have gotten into their positions for their battle to begin. The referee has taken his place.

"The battle between Sora from Pallet Town and the Gym Leader Wattson is about to begin! Each Trainer will be using three Pokémon! Only the challenger will be allowed to make substitutions! The battle is over when all three of either the challenger's or the Gym Leader's Pokémon are unable to battle! Let the battle begin!" The referee called out. Wattson took out his three Pokéballs and threw them.

"I'll be using my Magnemite, Voltorb, and Magneton!" Wattson said, letting out his three Pokémon. Sora grinned as he took out his three Pokéballs and threw them.

"Then, I'm using, Treecko, Barboach, and Nincada!" Sora called out as his Pokémon all came out. Treecko placed his twig in his mouth.

"Ah, a Grass-type, and two Ground-types. I like the way you think, Sora. Magnemite will go first," Wattson said.

"Then, I'm gonna start things up with Nincada!" Sora said. Nincada moved in, ready to go.

"Okay, Nincada's a Bug and Ground-type, so he has the advantage, right?" May asked.

"Yes. It's commonly known that Electric and Steel-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Ground-type moves," Izzy said.

"Yeah, but if he sent out Treecko first, then he would have a hard time against Magnemite due to its body being made out of metal," TK said.

"If I know him, and I do, he'll find a way around it when he gets into a corner," Kairi said.

"Mangemite! Use Manget Bomb!" Wattson ordered. Magnemite forms a silver ball of energy and sends it right at Nincada.

"Use Dig to dodge it!" Sora ordered. Nincada burrows underground to avoid Magnemite's attack.

"That was close," Lisia said.

"Yeah, but it's just getting started," Brendan said.

"Keep your eye open, Magnemite. It'll come out from anywhere at any moment!" Wattson called out. Nincada came out and heads right up to the Magnet Pokémon. "Use Swift!" Magnemite fired Swift, hitting the Trainee Pokémon on the mark. "Use Magnet Bomb!" Magnemite unleashed Magnet Bomb and struck Nincada hard. Wattson laughed. "Good job, Magnemite!"

"Nincada! Use Dig!" Sora ordered. Nincada dug underground. Nincada came out and lands a hit onto Magnemite. "Use Scratch!" Nincada came at Megnemite and scratched it across the face.

"Use Magnet Bomb!" Wattson ordered. Magnemite fired another Magnet Bomb and hits Nincada on the mark.

"Use Mud-Slap!" Sora ordered. Nincada hurls a chunk of mud at Magnemite, blinding the Magnet Pokémon.

"Yes! Magnemite's blind!" Davis exclaimed.

"Sora 2 will have to take advantage of this for as long as he can," Cody said.

"Use Scratch!" Sora ordered. Nincada jumped forward and gave Magnemite a swing of his claw and lands a hit onto Magnemite, making it fall to the ground, beaten.

"Magnemite is unable to battle! Nincada wins!" The referee announced. Wattson called his Magnemite back and he laughed.

"That was a good battle, Magnemite. You've earned yourself a good rest," Wattson said. He looked at Sora. "That was impressive, Sora. Now here's my Voltorb." With that said, Voltorb entered the battlefield, ready to battle.

"Nincada, why don't you take a rest for right now," Sora said. The Trainee Pokémon returned to Sora's side to catch his breath. Sora turned to Treecko. "Okay, Treecko, it's your turn." Treecko stepped in, ready to go.

"Well, this should be loads of fun. Okay, Voltorb! Use Spark!" Wattson ordered. Voltorb charges at the Wood Gecko Pokémon with its body giving off electricity.

"Okay, Treecko! Dodge and use Leafage!" Sora ordered. Treecko dodges Voltorb's Spark and unleashed Leafage, landing a hit. "Now, use Pound!" Treecko swings his tail and lands a hit onto the Ball Pokémon.

"Alright, Voltorb, use Rollout!" Wattson ordered. Voltorb starts rolling and starts to head for Treecko.

"This is bad! Rollout gets stronger each time it lands a hit!" Matt said.

"Matt's right. Voltorb's Rollout can do some serious damage, and it's not even evolved," Ken said.

"Let's see if Treecko's speed can cut it here," Joe said.

"Dodge it, quick!" Sora called out. Treecko narrowly avoids Voltorb's attack.

"Now that's fast! Voltorb! Use Rollout again!" Wattson ordered. Voltorb starts rolling right at Treecko again and heads right for him again.

"Dodge it, Treecko!" Sora called out. Treecko dodges Voltorb's Rollout, but the Ball Pokemon kept on rolling and rolling, so it lands a hit onto Treecko.

"That was a good hit," Davis said.

"It sure was. The next hit will be even worse for Treecko," Tai said.

Voltorb rolls right towards Treecko again, so Sora had to think fast.

"Dodge it with Quick Attack!" Sora called out. Treecko managed to dodge before Voltorb could land a hit on him. "Use Leafage!" Treecko uneashed Leafage, hitting Voltorb on the mark. "Use Quick Attack!" Treecko dashed right at Voltorb and lands a successful hit, sending Voltorb rolling backwards. Voltorb was then knocked out.

"Voltorb is unable to battle! Treecko wins!" The referee announced.

"Good work, Treecko!" Sora said.

"Cada!" Nincada said.

"Pika, Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu said.

"Barboach, Bar," Barboach said.

"Treecko," Treecko said, giving off a naturally expression. Wattson called back his Voltorb and laughed again.

"Not too shabby, Sora. The way your Treecko kept on moving around like a Joltik on a hot brick was very impressive," Wattson said, laughing.

"He does realizing that he's losing the battle, right?" Davis asked.

"I don't think it matters to him, because he looks like he's fun doing it," Kairi said.

"She's right. Wattson is always having a good time battling," Lisia said.

"I agree. And I know Sora's enjoying this, too," Rei said.

"Well, now it's time for my third and final Pokémon. Are you, ready, Magneton?" Wattson asked.

"Ton," Magneton said, entering the battlefield.

"You still good to go, Treecko?" Sora asked.

"Tree," Treecko nodded.

"Okay, Treecko!" Use Quick Attack!" Sora called out. Treecko dashed across the battlefield. Wattson just laughed.

"Oh, no, you don't, you little rascal! I'm not falling for that one again!" Wattson said as he kept on laughing. Magneton! Use Flash Cannon!" Magneton fired Flash Cannon right at Treecko just when he was moving. Magneton's attack came too fast for the Wood Gecko Pokémon to dodge, so Treecko was knocked out.

"Treecko is unable to battle! Magneton wins!" The referee announced.

"Treecko is unable to battle! Magneton wins!" The referee announced.

"Looks like Wattson has finally taken out one of Sora's Pokémon," Yolei said.

"I had a feeling he was saving that Magneton for last," Kairi said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

"Sora 2 will have to think fast if he wants to take Treecko down," Kari said. Sora calls Treecko back and smiled.

"You did your best, Treecko. Get some rest," Sora said. He looked over to Barboach. "Okay, Barboach, how would you like to have a go?" The Whiskers Pokémon nodded as he heads onto the battlefield. Nincada was tapping on Sora's leg, wondering why he wasn't sent back in. Sora bent down. "I know you wanna prove yourself, but I'm saving you as a back-up to Barboach, and you took that nasty hit from Magnemite's Magnet Bomb earlier." Nincada as he understood. He looked over to Barboach, and Barboach looked back at Nincada.

"Try your best out there, Barboach." - Nincada subtitle.

"I will." - Barboach subtitle.

"Okay, Barboach! Start things up with Water Gun!" Sora ordred. Barboach fired Water Gun and it heads right for Magneton.

"Dodge it, Mangeton!" Wattson called out. Magneton dodges Barboach's Water Gun. "Use Magnet Bomb!" Magneton fired Magnet Bomb right at Barboach.

"Dodge and use Mud-Slap!" Sora ordered. Barboach flopped on the ground and hurls Mud-Slap right the Magnet Pokémon.

"Dodge it, Magneton!" Wattson called out. Magneton dodged Barboach's Mud-Slap from left to right.

"That Magneton's fast!" Max said.

"Sure is. That must be how he deals with Ground-types," Rei said.

"That was a good dodge, Magneton! Now, use Flash Cannon!" Wattson ordered. Magneton fired a Flash Cannon right at Barboach.

"Dodge it! Hurry!" Sora called out. Barboach flopped on the ground to dodge Magneton's Flash Cannon. It almost lands a hit onto Barboach, but he escaped right on time. "Use Magnitude!" Barboach slammed on the ground with his body and the ground started to shake. It was slightly powerful enough to deal some heavy damage onto Magnemite, but it didn't bring it down.

"Wait, Magnitude? What's that?" May asked.

"Magnitude is a Ground-type move that deals some damage depending on which number it is on the scale. The numbers can go from 4 to 10. But it's a gamble to use since it's very often that Magnitude goes to 10 since it happens at 5%," Joe explained. "And judging how strong that was, I say that was a 7."

"But Magneton's still standing or should I say, floating," Brendan said.

"Great job, Barboach. That was a good one!" Sora said.

"Barboach, boach," Barboach said.

"Not too shabby! My Magneton's not going to go down that easily! Magneton! Use Magnet Bomb!" Wattson ordered. Magneton unleashed Magnet Bomb and sends it right at Barboach.

"Dodge it!" Sora called out. Barboach flopped on the ground to dodge Magneton's attack.

"Magnet Bomb again!" Wattson ordered. Magneton fired Magnet Bomb repeatedly and it lands a hit onto Barboach.

"Use Mud-Slap!" Sora ordered. Barboach hurls Mud-Slap right onto Magneton, dealing some damage.

"Use Flash Cannon!" Wattson ordered. Magneton fired Flash Cannon and it struck Barboach on the spot, resulting in a knockout.

"Barboach is unable to battle! Magneton wins!" The referee announced. Sora calls Barboach back inside his Pokéball and smiled.

"Don't sweat it, Barboach. You did your best, and you weakened Magneton like I wanted you to. Your efforts won't go to waste," Sora said. He turned to Nincada. "Okay, Nincada. Let's finish what we started." Nincada nodded and re-entered the battlefield again.

"Well, it looks like Nincada is sent back in," TK said.

"Yeah, but will Nincada pull it off?" May asked.

"I think we're about to find out," Rei said.

"Okay, Nincada, it's all up to you. I know you can do it," Sora said. Nincada stood on his hind legs and did a ninja's stance.

"Look at that. Nincada wants to win this bad," Davis said.

"After watching Treecko and Barboach go down the way he did, it's hard to blame him. He has a huge dedication to his teammates, so he wants to win this bad," Kairi said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

"This battle is loads of fun! Too bad it has to come to an end! Magneton! Use Magnet Bomb!" Wattson ordered. Magneton unleashed Magnet Bomb right at Nincada.

"Dig!" Sora ordered. Nincada dug into the ground and avoids Magneton's Magnet Bomb. Nincada came out and lands a hit onto Magneton.

"Not bad, Sora. You're a tougher cookie to break than I thought. Let's get this done! Use Flash Cannon!" Wattson ordered. Magneton fired Flash Cannon at Nincada, so the Trainee Pokémon has made several copies of himself, surprising everyone.

"Did you just see that?!" Lisia asked.

"I did. Nincada must have learned to use Double Team," Kairi said.

"My theory is Nincada must have learned it from his battle against Magneton," Izzy said.

"I have the same theory. Now Nincada will be even more difficult to contend with," Rei said.

"Magneton! Use Flash Cannon!" Wattson ordered. Magneton fired a Flash Cannon right at Nincada. The attack has struck one of the copies, hitting it instead.

"Nincada! Use Mud-Slap!" Sora ordered. Nincada and the copies hurls Mud-Slap right at Magneton, dealing some heavy damage onto Magneton, blinding it again. "Okay, while it's distracted! Use Scratch!" The copies all disappeared and Nincada prepares to swing his claws at Magneton, dealing some damage. Magneton came falling to the ground. Nincada lands on his feet. Magneton tried to get back up, but couldn't due to its injuries.

"Magneton is unable to battle! Nincada wins! The winner is the challenger, Sora from Pallet Town!" The referee announced.

"Way to go, Ketchum!" Tai praised.

"That was awesome!" Max exclaimed.

"No wonder you're a Pokémon League Champion, Sora. You were dazzling!" Lisia said. As the group were congratulating Sora for his victory, Wattson called back Magneton and he smiled before he laughed. He walked up to Sora as he kept on laughing.

"That was a fun battle, Sora. You gave it everything you got and you came out on top!" Wattson laughed. "So you everybody knows you beaten me fair and square, I'm gonna give you this. The Dynamo Badge." He took out a Gym Badge for Sora. It is shaped like a coiled wire. Sora accepts his Gym Badge.

"Thanks, Wattson. It was a great battle," Sora said.

"No, thank you for that fun battle. It was the most fun I had in ages. I mean, I had some fun opponents, but you take the cake," Wattson said as he laughed again.

Back to the power plant, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill has dispatched the last of the Heartless. The fight was a fierce one and they were greatly tired from all that fighting they were doing.

"Geez, that was intense. That was more Heartless than a Cubone can shake its bone at," Ethan panted.

"Well, at least they're gone," Kris said.

"Yeah, but it was quite a workout," Leaf said.

"Well, I worked quite a sweat. I don't know about any of you, but I could use a good bath to wash all this sweat off," Ash said.

"You're speaking my language, Ash, because I can use one, too," Kris said.

With that said, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill have made their way towards the Pokémon Center. Upon entering, they saw some familiar faces.

"Sora, Kairi!" Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra exclaimed.

"Ash, Ethan!" Sora said.

"Leaf, Lyra, Kris!" Kairi said.

"Pika!" Pikachu said, greeting Marill.

"Eevee, Vee!" Angel said, also greeting Marill.

"Marill, Marill!" Marill said.

"Hi, Lyra! It's good to see you again!" Lisia said, giving Lyra a hug.

"Likewise," Lyra said.

"So you know Lisia? As in the Contest Idol Lisia?" Kris asked in awe.

"That's right, Kris. Thought I made it up, did you?" Lyra asked.

"I was hoping you didn't and look!" Kris said.

"I trust you've been well," Rei said. Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra looked at her.

"Master!" Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra exclaimed.

"That's right," Rei said.

"When did you guys get here?" Brendan asked.

"Just today," Leaf answered.

"But you guys are a mess. What happened?" Sora asked.

"We should have a talk," Ash said.

So the Keyblade wielding Pokémon Trainers and the DigiDestined went to a room just so they could have a talk. They filled them in that the reason they were a mess was because they were fighting a hoard of Heartless at the old power plant because of the rumors that they have been sighted.

"You made the right call by responding to the threat before it spreads, but why didn't you call us and tell us about it?" Rei asked.

"We didn't know you were even here, so we had to deal with the situation ourselves," Lyra said.

"That makes sense," Rei said.

"So, May. Think we can see your Keyblade?" Kris asked.

"Yeah, I would like to see it," Leaf said.

"Sure," May said as she held her hand up and summoned her Alpha Sapphire Kyogre, wowing Ash, Leaf, Ethan, and Kris. She dismissed her Keyblade.

"It's so cool that you're in the club, May," Ethan said.

"Not only that, but our classmate, too," Ash said.

"Thanks, Ash, Ethan," May said.

"What about you, Sora? Did you win your third Gym Badge yet?" Lyra asked.

"Funny you should ask. It was a hard match, but I managed to win the Dynamo Badge, so here it is," Sora said, showing his friends his newest Badge.

"That means you only got five more to earn," Ash said.

"Yeah, but first, I think we should rest up before we go anywhere," Sora said.

"I agree. You six have earned a good rest," Rei said.

With that said, Sora, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, and Lyra rested for a night after having an interesting day.

On the very next morning, the DigiDestined stood before their friends.

"So you're just taking off?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, we have some exploring to do, but it was great seeing you again," Kari said.

"Yeah, it was," Kairi said.

"But we'll meet up with you again sometime," Mimi said.

"I'm already looking forward to it," Lisia said.

With that said, the DigiDestined have said their goodbyes to their friends and took off throughout the Hoenn region. As they walked, they were thinking about Roxas and Xion.

"I'm happy to know Roxas and Xion are safe," Sora T said.

"Why bring that up?" Tai asked.

"I just thought of them, that's all," Sora T said.

"We're all thinking about them. Roxas and Xion are safe as long as Organization XIII doesn't try anything," Matt said.

"Yeah, but we all know how unlikely that scenario is, because they'll be gunning for them," Izzy said.

"So the Keyblade wielders will kick their butts really hard," Davis said.

"Yeah, especially that witch, Larxene!" Yolei said, disliking her. She got mad just thinking about her.

"Don't forget, Axel will be looking out for them, too," Tai said.

"You're right, Tai, but I don't think the Organization will like it if Axel gets in their way," TK said.

"TK's right. Since Axel left just for Roxas's sake, they may do something awful to him," Kari said, concerned for Axel's safety.

"Don't worry, Kari. Axel's a big boy, so he can take care of himself," Davis said.

"You know, Davis is right. Axel won't go down without a fight," Sora T said.

Back to the Pokémon Center, Brendan is all set for his Gym battle. They set off to the Mauville City Gym before they could take off. And just so you will know, more adventures are just around the corner, so you may never know how close it is.

Over in space, a meteorite races throughout space at an alarming speed. Could this be building up to something? We're going to find out very soon.
