After long last, we finally have some excitement after Team Katsuya manages to topple to the bug type gym! Successfully defeating Victoria and Bugsy without much trouble. On the other hand, it seems our group of other challengers, Team One, is very close. We'll see if they'll be able to steamroll the rock type gym with their water Pokémon. Or if something completely unexpected happens.
Team One
"This cave is a drag," whined Seth.
"Can you stop your moaning?" asked Alicia harshly. "We're almost to the gym leader, I don't see the point in complaining."
"Admit it, you've never walked this much in your life," accused Seth. "You probably have servants who carry you in a carriage with veils and comfy pillows as your attendants wave you with fans."
"Ew, of course not. I have a personal driver with a luxurious car that's filled with fancy foods and drinks."
"Where's the fun in being a passenger? I prefer to be the one behind the wheel."
"This is why you'll never be rich."
Seth gave her a look. "What does that have to do with driving?"
"You'll be spending every penny on tickets and insurance costs."
Seth rolled his eyes. "Hearty har har. The amount of taxes your family pays would probably be enough to purchase my insurance don't you think?"
"Taxes are nothing in the face of the rich."
"Good for you. I don't even have insurance."
"Insurance doesn't matter right now," said Alicia. "We made it, no thanks to you."
In front of them was a large cave. It was very dim and hard to see what was going in. But as they slowly entered the cave, the dim lights got brighter so their eyes could get adjusted to the light.
"Congratulations on making it this far," said a voice. "You've done well."
When they got a clear look, they saw a man in an orange and black training vest exposing his chest standing there. He was wearing no shoes and had training weights around his ankles and wrists, as well as combat gloves. He wore black shorts and had spiky brown hair. He also had a slight stubble on his face. The oddest part about him was the fact his eyes seemed to be closed.
Another man stood next to him. This man wore big glasses and a miner hat over his red hair, the light on it currently off. He had a thick safety vest of a gray shirt, as well as gray cargo pants. He had heavy boots and mining gloves. The final touch was a pick strapped to his back, the blade looking very real.
"Welcome to the final test of the rock type gym challenge!" declared the man with the pick. "My name is Roark, from the Sinnoh Region."
"And I'm Brock," said the first man. "Pleased to meet both of you."
Seth was thoughtful for a moment. "I think I may have heard of you," he said, indicating Brock. "Quick question though, can you see?"
"No, I can not see. I did not see the fact that you waltzed into this room, allowing me to activate the lights and give my introductory speech. I can not see that they're four people standing in this room. One of them being dressed very expensively and the other one wearing silver headphones. Because my eyes are usually half closed like this, I can not see at all."
Seth raised his hands in surrender. "All right, sorry for asking. Get it, you can see."
"Sorry," said Roark a bit sheepishly as Brock gave a hmph. "He can get pretty touchy on the subject, best to leave it be."
"I'm not touchy," said Brock.
"That's nice and all," said Alicia. 'But I don't really care whether your eyes are closed or not. What I care about however, is getting your badge and leaving this dreary place."
Brock and Roark looked at each other in response to her attitude. Roark shrugged and turned back to the challengers.
"No need to be so pushy."
"I don't have time to waste on socializing with people I probably will never see again."
"Fair point," said Brock.
Two extra Rotom Drones flew out of a cave along with a flag bearing referee who looked to be about sixteen. They read out the rules as normal and asked if the gym leaders have anything to say.
"I do," said Brock. He turned to the challengers and got into a fighting stance.
"Are you truly ready for the gym battle? Do you believe that you can fight past my Poekmon's rock hard-"
"Yes, yes we can. Out, Posiedon!"
Brock gave her an annoyed look before throwing his own pokéball. The other two trainers followed suit, bright light filling the cave.
On the field were a Piplup, Popplio, Onix, and Cranidos. It was clear all the disadvantages were on the rock type gym leaders side.
"Dual water type Pokémon?" asked Brock. "Not a problem. Onix, use Sandstorm!"
"Poseidon, use Bubble Beam!"
Poseidon fired a stream of bubbles at both Pokémon as the Onix gave a roar and surrounded the field with sand, blowing and destroying the bubbles. Empress went for a Water Gun, aiming at the Onix.
"Cranidos, Rock Tomb!"
Boulders shoved their way forward, creating a pillar and blocking the Water Gun. The Onix moved towards the ground and used Bulldoze, charging forward and throwing earth at its wake.
"Try this, Sing!"
Empress gave out a sweet song that drifted over the battlefield. The ONix's eyes drooped as it continued using Bulldoze. Empress used Aqua Jet and dove out of the way as it crashed against a wall and fell asleep.
On the other side, Poseidon engaged the Cranidos. The Cranidos charged forward and used Headbutt, but it missed as Poseidon leapt out of the way and used Bubble Beam. The close range allowed the bubbles to deal damage before getting destroyed by the sandstorm.
The winds howled as sand flew around the stage, buffeting the Pokémon. Alicia held her jacket tight as Seth left his hoodie unzipped and laughed as it billowed in the storm.
"Take down the Onix Empress! Use Water Gun!"
"Wake up Onix! You got this!"
Empress fired a blast of water straight at the Onix. The Onix's eyes snapped open as the attack hit it. It gave a roar as its tail glowed with a silver light. Before Empress or Seth could react, it threw its tail forward and used Iron Tail, smacking Empress across the field.
"Are you okay?" shouted Seth.
Empress got to her feet and nodded. She used Aqua Jet and dashed forward, heading straight for the Onix.
"Stop it with Rock Tomb!"
The Onix gave a roar as rocks were thrown into the air, falling on top of Empress. Using her speed from Aqua Jet, she dodged each and every boulder before slamming head first into the Onix.
"You can't break through our defenses! They're far too strong, even with the times four weaknesses!" shouted Brock.
"You may be right, but can your defenses defend against this? Water Gun!"
Empress fired a point blank Water Gun into the Onix's face. It gave a roar as it trashed around, trying to defend against the attack.
"Calm down Onix! USe Bulldoze!"
Empress quickly used Aqua Jet and got out of the way. The Onix tried using another attack, but fell to the ground from exhaustion.
"And that's something you should know about my Pokémon," said Seth. "Our water power allows us to overcome any obstacle!"
Brock was silent for a moment, gazing intently at his Onix.
"I usually talk about my Pokémon's rock hard defenses. But that's not all there is to us! There's a second power!"
His Onix slowly rose upward, much to the surprise of Seth and Empress. It gave a roar, using Rock Slide and causing rocks to tumble down from the ceiling.
"A fifth move?" asked Seth in a panic as his Popplio tried to avoid the stones. "No, it can't be! His Pokémon just learned a new move!"
"Our determination is rock solid and unwavering! We only lose a battle if we don't put in our full effort! And we don't lose."
Alicia was having as much trouble as Seth was having in her fight against Roark. The Cranidos had learned to keep its distance from Poseidon and only strike when it was in range for a charge. Because of the sandstorm, Poseidon's Bubble Beam attack was ineffective. Pound and Peck didn't do much against it either.
"Zen Headbutt!" shouted Roark.
His Cranidos charged forward and formed a ball of psychic energy while flying toward Poseidon. He dodged the attack and used Bubble Beam. The attack was disintegrated by the sandstorm and vanished.
"You'll have to try harder than that! Bite!"
The Cranidos rushed forward and opened its mouth, attempting an attack. Poseidon dodged again, not wanting to get in range of its attacks.
"You can attempt stalling until the sandstorm ends, but there's nothing stopping us from creating a new one. Especially since delaying things only hurts you guys. Rock Tomb!"
The Cranidos gave a roar and stomped its feet, sending out waves of energy that flung rocks into the sky to bury Poseidon. He dodged every single stone and used that opportunity to get it close.
"Before the dust settles, attack!" shouted Alicia.
Poseidon sent out a splash, a completely new attack for both trainers. Roark's Cranidos used Headbutt and knocked Poseidon backwards. He collapsed onto the floor and struggled to get up.
"Miss, you really need to figure out when to use a last ditch attack. Whatever that attack was, did nothing. I'm sorry, but you lose. Finish the job with Zen Headbutt!"
Alicia said nothing, her expression didn't change as she checked on her Piplup. She watched the Crainados charge forward towards Poesidon and casually pointed at it.
"Think again."
"Hu-"
Before he could finish his sentence, his Crainados slipped and bashed its head against the floor. He watched in disbelief and horror as it turned around and charged straight for the wall.
"Oh no, not again!" cried Roark. "Crainados, stop!"
"You're Crainados won't listen even if he wanted to," said Alicia. "Water Pulse's confusion effect makes it so."
Roark's Cranidos bashed its head into a wall and fell backwards. It got up, extremely dizzy as it tried to place on foot in front of the other. It smacked its head into another wall and fainted.
Roark watched in disbelief as the announcer called that his Cranidos was defeated. Poseidon got to his feet and thumped his chest in victory.
Roark's face suddenly changed, and he began to laugh. He kept laughing until he was out of breath and sat down on the floor.
"Wow, what a match. Who knew that I would end up losing to another rich girl and her Piplup after my last Pokémon gets confused by Water Pulse?"
"It's a logical choice to use Water Pulse when you use a type like rock," said Alicia.
At that moment, the announcer called that the match was over, seeing as Seth just beat Brock's Onix. Seth walked forward and shook hands with Brock as a sign of sportsmanship.
"The sudden Rock Slide was scary. But once Empress was able to predict the attack, it was just one attack to needed finish the match."
Brock nodded. "Your Pokémon was exceptional, I trust both of you will go far. Now, follow me for your badge."
Roark rolled his eyes suddenly. "Oh great, this part."
"What part?" asked Seth.
"Don't worry about him!" said Brock, shooing Roark away. "He's only jealous of my rock hard fists, watch!"
He led them in front of a large rock and assumed a fighting stance. With a battle cry that reverberated through the cave, he brought his fist crashing down onto the rock. Cleaving it open and revealing two shining badges.
Seth's jaw dropped open in amazement, causing Brock to laugh heartily at his reaction. Alicia and Roark were unimpressed.
"It's pretty easy to break a rock that's been whittled down in the center," said Roark.
"I've seen way more impressive things than that," Alicia commented.
Brock gave a hmph and turned his head. "At least I now know who my true friend is!"
Seth and Roark laughed as Alicia rolled her eyes, commenting on how some people could be so childish.
"Whatever," said Alicia. "Seth, you owe me a battle. I hope you're prepared to lose."
Seth gave her a look, his entire body twitching. "It's eleven forty pm and I'm hungry, sleepy, low energy, irritable, and there's absolutely no way I'm spending what little time I have left on you, princess! Don't forget there's another two hours before I escape this cruel cave! Leave me alone!"
With that, he turned and ran, screaming incoherent sentences.
Team Katsuya - Third Day
Kendra woke up to Katsuya rapidly shaking her. She jumped up and almost hit her head on the low ceiling of the tent. She gave him a dirty look as he turned around and crawled out.
"Come on, we have work to do."
"What work?" asked Kendra. "It's like- eight in the morning!"
"It's time for us to head to the normal gym. And I'm also going to catch my first Pokémon. Let's go."
"Hold on," said Kendra, following him out of the tent. "It should be a team decision about what gym to go to next. You shouldn't just get to choose, there's no I in team!"
"But there is a "T" and "T" rhymes with me. Let's go. Afterwards, we'll go to the normal gym, rock gym, circle around to the ground type gym, and then head to the grass type gym. With the grass gym being our sixth badge, we'll be in the perfect position to head to the fire type gym in the yellow zone."
Kendra sighed as she started pulling down the tent. "Can't argue with that much planning."
They were currently passing through the same forest they had gone through to get to the bug gym. They were reaching the outskirts however, and Kendra was glad to be rid of the forest once and for all.
They hadn't encountered many Pokémon that Katsuya deemed "worthy". At every single Pokémon they found, Katsuya simply passed it without so much of a word.
"What happened to finding another Pokémon?" asked Kendra.
"Oh, one will come soon enough. These Pokémon simply aren't worthy."
Kendra rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are? An anime sensei?"
"I have the skills to become one. You, on the other hand, are denoted as the average female side character who's ever so dependent on the main character."
Kendra couldn't form a response to that and shrunk back, easily and thoroughly defeated.
They continued to walk in silence like they usually did, until Katsuya raised a hand for them to stop.
"Quiet, I hear something," said Katsuya.
Kendra heard it too. It was a soft pitter patter, like tiny footsteps running. She shivered, wondering what kind of Pokémon was approaching them. She took out a pokéball, ready for battle.
A Togepi appeared from around a tree. It was wearing a golden colored rock shaped like a crown.
"Hey," said Kendra. "Isn't that a King's Rock?"
"Doesn't matter to me," said Katsuya, choosing to ignore the Togepi.
She jumped in front of him and started making angry noises. She started pointing towards the ground and at Katsuya's forehead, running in front of him every time he tried to pass.
"You want me to bow to you," said Katsuya with a matter of facility
The Togepi gave a dismissive huff and turned her face, expecting him to bow.
"Do we just… go?" asked Kendra, slightly confused by the display.
"This egg thing thinks she's better than me," said Katsuya. "Bow down before our power. Destroy it, Combusken."
His Combusken flew out of its pokéball, immediately attacking with a Double Kick. Before a strike could land, however, a magical wagging finger appeared and caused the Togepi to teleport away in a flash of purple light next to a nearby tree.
"Metronome Teleport?" asked Katsuya. "You got pretty lucky there. Incinerate."
The Togepi ran forward and dodged the fire attack. Combusken dashed forward and used Double Kick again. A wagging finger allowed the Togepi to use Double Kick itself. Combusken was stronger however, and sent it backwards.
"Nice try, but Combusken's stronger. Again."
The Togepi used Metronome again, dashing forward again. Katsuya's Combusken leaped upwards at the same time as the Togepi did. His first kick was immediately countered as the Togepi launched a powerful kick, sending him backward.
"Mega Kick?" asked Katsuya. "What Pokémon are you again? Peck."
The Togepi used Metronome again. With a loud cry, she expelled a huge amount of sand, obscuring all of their views.
"This fight is getting dumber and dumber," sighed Katsuya. "But with that kind of luck, it may be worth catching. Charge towards the center, that's where all the sand is swirling around."
Combusken charged through the sand, his arms poised to attack with Scratch. He spotted the Togepi in the middle of the Sandstorm and leaped for it, only to be struck with Charm.
Combusken hesitated as he tried to pull back his attack. The Scratch did little damage as the Togepi used Metronome again, this time clapping Combusken's face with Smelling Salts.
"Use your boosted speed to your advantage, Incinerate."
Katsuya's Combusken leaped backward and fired a bolt of fire at the Togepi. She was sent flying back as the attack hit, the Pokémon being too slow to dodge. Combusken used this opportunity to dash forward, planning on using his superior strength to land a Scratch.
The Togepi used Metronome again, this time using the move Foul Play. Using Combusken's power against him, she charged forward and surrounded herself in dark energy before slamming into him. Both Pokémon's attacks were canceled out, causing them to slide backward among the howling and sandy winds.
"Keep your distance, Incinerate."
The Togepi used Metronome again, spinning around in a vortex of dark energy as she used Brutal Swing. The sand around it was flung away as the Incinerate attack was dissipated.
"This amount of luck is crazy," said Katsuya. "Should I lose, it's not because my Pokémon and I are weak."
"I'm not judging," said Kendra. "I can help if-"
"I don't need your help, rush in with Double Kick."
Combusken moved at high speeds, rushing straight for the Togepi. He landed the first blow before the Togepi could use Metronome. Upon usage, she created a magical barrier that blocked the attack.
"Reflect? It's not going to last long, use Double Kick again."
The Togepi's Reflect wore off as it quickly used Metronome after sustaining two hits. It stumbled backward, weakened from the attack. A wagging finger allowed it to use Drill Run, a powerful ground type move.
"Get back!" shouted Katsuya, realizing what the Togepi was going to use.
His Combusken leapt back, narrowly dodging the super effective attack. He rushed forward for a final attack, his claws gleaming as he brought them back for Scratch.
Another wagging finger caused a flare of energy around the Togepi. Katsuya immediately knew something was wrong and tried to call back his Combusken back, but it was too late.
Two transparent wings appeared next to it, red and black energy sparking everywhere. A Rotom Drone crashed to the ground, the Rotom within fainted. Wind howled around them. Katsuya's hair flew upwards on his face, as did Kendra's.
"W-W-W-What's happening?" asked Kendra, her legs frozen in place.
Combusken tried to dodge as the Togepi used Oblivion Wing. A giant laser of energy ripped through the forest, draining trees and plant life of their energy, causing them to wither. Combusken instantly fainted, the Togepi draining his strength and coming back to perfect condition.
Katsuya stared in disbelief at his fainted Combusken. The Togepi stood dominantly over the fallen Pokémon, pronouncing her rule.
She was pronouncing her dominance until a pokéball hit her and sucked her inside. It shook once in mid-air and landed, flashing and sounding a ding as it caught.
"I'm the true master, you fall beneath me," said Katsuya.
He returned his Combusken and sighed. "Would you stop shaking like a leaf in the wind?"
Kendra couldn't formulate words as she stared at the ruined forest in front of her. She took a step, only to sway as she tried to move.
Katsuya sighed and rolled his eyes before walking away. Kendra freaked out and forced herself to move.
"Don't leave me out here! And keep your Togepi far away from me!"
Team Regional
"There, in the distance!" sad Zeke, pointing at white figures in the distance.
They had been making great distance since they started this morning. They're had been a few wild Pokémon encounters for the past four hours, all of which were defeated by Ga'hoole and Weiss, Claire's Ralts.
Now, they finally had their sights on Settlement Echo, the location of the normal type gym.
"All right Zeke, are you ready for this?" asked Claire. "We're going to go in and crush the gym!"
"I'm ready as I'll ever be. But I'm wondering who the gym trainers will be. I know there's Whiteny from Goldenrod City, and Norman from Petalburg."
"There's also Cheren, Lenora. And Larry in Paldea, but I doubt he'll be a gym leader here."
"Good point. By knowing who our opponent is, we can judge what kind of Pokémon they have and their battle style. I'm expecting Norman to be there because of his renowned skill as a normal type gym leader. Whitney and Lenora both have other jobs that they usually do alongside being a gym leader."
"Cheren is also a teacher though."
"I know, but a lot of schools have had changes to their curriculum or have been shut down thanks to the new government. I doubt Cheren would be so keen on teaching considering the problems happening there."
"I suppose. Maybe I'll get to meet him. I heard he's an amazing strategist in Pokémon battles, getting some tips and seeing how he battles is a surefire way" to get stronger."
"You learn from the best," agreed Zeke. "Now let's go!"
They made their way over to the settlement. When they got there, they noticed that the tents were spaced out by a lot, and there was no wired perimeter. When they got close enough, they were approached by two trainers wearing normal type gym uniforms.
"I assume you're here for the gym challenge," said the first trainer, a girl with short brown hair and blue eyes.
"You're correct," said Claire. "And we intend on crushing the gym!"
"I see," said the second trainer. A boy with short blond hair and black eyes. He had a small satchel with him. He handed the satchel to Zeke, who looked inside of it.
"Recovery items and berries?" said Zeke with a hint of curiosity.
"That's right! Now heal up your Pokémon! Because if you want to enter the settlement, you have to go past us!".
"Challenge accepted!" shouted Claire, sending out Natsu. The Charmander gave an endearing growl as his tail sparked with life.
"Let's go for it Ga'hoole," said Zeke, sending out his own Pokémon.
They were quickly fed Aguave berries and sprayed with Super Potions. When they were done, the other two trainers sent out their Pokémon.
A Rattata and a Sentret appeared in two flashes. The Rattata was owned by the girl while the Sentret belonged to the boy. They gave squeaks and charged at the two Pokémon.
"Dragon Rage!" shouted Claire.
"Razor Leaf!"
Natsu rushed forward, his arm glowing with draconic energy. He slammed his fist into the Rattata and sent it flying as sharp leaves enveloped the Sentret. Natsu turned around and used Flame Burst, scorching the leaves and the Sentret in an explosion of fire.
"No way!" shouted the boy, looking at both Pokémon.
The battle was already over. The Rattata had been instantly defeated by the Dragon Rage while the dual attack had defeated the Sentret.
"You guys are way too powerful," complained the girl. "We aren't even meant to be challenging trainers. If I was using my usual Pokémon I'd have defeated you in an instant."
"Stop whining Winetta," said the boy with a huff. "Congrats you two, but things only get harder from here. Now begins your gym challenge, Zoroark!"
A sinister looking Unovan Zoroark appeared from a Dusk Ball. With a one word command from its trainer, it gave a cry and expelled black smoke as it created its illusions. Standing before the trainers was now a huge maze.
"Now, of course, this maze is intangible. We'll be keeping an eye on you so you don't try and pass through the walls. But I doubt you will."
"Good luck!" said the girl cheerfully. She sent out a Braivary and helped the boy up before taking off and flying over the maze, where they flew in lazy circles. Claire and Zeke nodded to each other before entering the maze.
Team Distant Past
Diego, Jax, and their four Pokémon were hiding behind a large boulder somewhere around the middle of the mountain that hosted the flying gym. During their ascent, they had been attacked by a vicious Skarmory that was set on driving them away from its home.
"I love Skarmory," muttered Jax as he tried to spot the steel bird flying in the sky. "Their feathers are as sharp as blades and they're extremely territorial. How do we get out of this? That thing has been shrugging off our Pokémon's fire attack like they're nothing!"
"Keep it down," said Diego. "We'll have to keep whittling it down. Glacey will continue to use Helping Hand while Snivy and Valdez continue their ranged attacks. It's coming this way, get ready!"
"Where?" asked Jax.
Before Diego could tell him, the Skarmory came from their right with a loud screech, its wings glinting in the sun. Glacey used Helping Hand as Virgil leaped in front of her, using Growl to try and intimidate the Skarmory. Snivy leaped into the air and used Ember, shooting a powerful burst of fire with Glacey's help.
The Skarmory gave a shriek and banked to the left, using Steel Wing. Valdez leaped away from the boulder as it was sliced in two and fired an Ember after Glacey used Helping Hand on him.
The Skarmory brought its wings forward and defended itself from the attack. Its wings glowed as it circled around, slicing into the stone wall and dislodging stones and other materials.
"Everyone watch out!" shouted Jax as he took cover under a rock outcropping, the rocks raining down on them.
As the rocks tumbled down, all four Pokémon ran and leaped away from them. Diego moved to follow Jax but then froze, a distant look in his eyes.
Jax noticed Diego freeze up, as did the Skarmory. Throwing out its wings, it caused another Rock Slide before diving straight at Diego.
"Watch out! Get out of the way!" shouted Jax.
Valdez and Snivy aimed Embers at the Skarmory, but missed because of its high speed. Suddenly, Diego snapped back to reality. In one fluid movement, he tucked and rolled beneath the Skarmory's wings before pulling out his sword and slashing it overhead. It cut through the rocks falling straight for him and caused them to burst into dust.
Sheathing his sword, he sprinted towards where Jax was hiding, the other two fire type Pokémon following him.
"What was that?" shouted Jax. "You just froze there like a Deerling in headlights!"
"Sorry," said Diego, sounding a bit woozy. "A sudden feeling came over me, and some memories came back. The move I pulled there, was reminiscent of a battle I had in the past."
"How does wood slice through stone like that? And cause it to explode?" asked Jax, watching wearily for the Skarmory.
"I have no idea. But what's important now is to get past the Skarmory. I'm sure the people up at Settlement Ross have a way to take care of this."
"You're right," said Jax. "But most importantly, no more flashbacks. You really scared me there."
"Sorry. Let's move, we won't accomplish anything by hiding here."
Jax nodded. They returned their Pokémon and quickly dashed out from behind the rock, trying not to make a sound. The Skarmory whirled around, trying to spot them. The game of cat and mouse had begun.
Thank you for your patronage in viewing our story so far. The upload schedule has been severely messed up and we apologize for that. Anyways, now that Team One has snagged their second badge, it looks like our other competitors will have to catch up in the badge collecting race! After a wild battle, Katsuya finally chose a second Pokémon for his team! With its luck, it might as well be invincible. Team Regional has finally made it to their first gym where they have to complete a boring and normal gym puzzle. It looks like Diego and Jax have run into a bit of trouble, and it also seems his sword can do stuff. Who allowed it to be on the show? I think it was Director Adam- but I'm going off-script. See you next time on Pokéstars: Island of Challenge!
Side note: In the Diamond and Pearl adventure manga, Lady, a rich girl who had a Piplup as her starter, defeated Roark after she confused his Crainados with Water Pulse when it attacked with Zen Headbutt. I thought the reference would be cool, and kudos to anyone who caught the reference.
For the Togepi Metronome battle, I used a nifty tool on a website that ran the move Metronome from Gens 1 - 7. The only change I made to the attacks used by Metronome was when I omitted the move Bestow when it was supposed to come after Foul Play. This originally was an accident, but I rolled with it.
Happy Reading!
