Before the Peak's mountains, the two great Trainers stood there, deciding on which Pokemon to start their battle. With redemption weighing on their minds, they wanted to make their next move their best move, and keep it up from there! To say things got tense between them is an understatement. "(Think Deimos, think dammit! You are The DeMon destined for greatest beyond human comprehension! A mortal that shall transend all! Victory over A Brave One is merely within your grasp! Any one of my Saviors should more than suffice)" Deimos was deciding and mentally preparing, "(This guy...That crazy hairdo and that look is really rubbing me the wrong way. Cant let it get to me. Not when I wanna be the best Gym Leader there is) Alright let's do it! Goji! Chad!" Terry calls for, sending out his Machoke & Hawlucha, "Ah I see! Those are some warriors you have there, my friend! BUT! (I would lying if my 7th sense did not perceive great forces from these two alone. Be it foolish of me to battle too recklessly...) Bah! Watch and be in awe once you bare witness to my Seven Saviors! NOW TOIL! *throws out the Pokeballs for Zoroark and Garchomp, having them land in front* Wrath and Piety, go forth and raise some hell!" Deimos demanded...Then let's just say one of them wasnt a fan of this decision. Seeing his Zoroark turn to face him, Deimos responds with a surprised look, having a hunch of what's to come. "I thought you said yyou were going to get Purity back, now you expect me to win with this dumbass shark boy of your's? You know I never did any battles with him T _T" Piety complained, "Piety this is no time for-!" he was saying, "Im not done. 'Yes I am familiar with your fondness of Purity, so I, DeMon Deimos promise to bring her back! \u/' You say that then you also dont tell me about not getting her back. You're lucky I didnt go out and get her myself. I only joined out of boredom yknow e e" she further complains, "We ran into difficulties, dammit! After some training you choose now to bring up something so trivial! Just so we're clear, your friend is being held by a Leader at this other location, now hold your tongue, get your act together and focus on the enemies at hand! DO NOT WITTLE AT MY PATIENCE, WINCH! OVO" Deimos started yelling, "(...Geez, talk about drama. I dunno how he does it with that piece of work)" Terry said in his head, "(Drrrrrgh, filthy creature. Be grateful I allowed you to start a duel such as this. You should know that these mighty practitioners will mangle and do away with your ilk in seconds like gutter trash. You should know of your dodgy worth to the other Saviors. To be a true Savior among them, do not blind yourself of this fact, and see being a frontrunning Savior as an opportunity for yourself)" Deimos then thought to himself, hoping that resolves him and his Zoroark's conflict. "Whenever you're ready, Terry!" Goji shouts, "Right. Go in with a Vital Throw!"Terry commands, "*sees him charging in towards Piety* Intercept thee with a searing Fire Blast, Wrath!" Deimos shouts, "*sees him dash in front of Piety with a mouthful of flames* (Whoa, and I thought I was starting out strong!)" Terry reacts, in surprise as Goji was at the moment before he took an X-shaped flaming shot from the Garchomp, exploding on him a few times to help push him back and left a big scar on his body as blood ran down on him with his arm open, gritting his teeth. "(Not bad for a start I suppose. Now it's my turn...!)" Piety thought before swiftly dashing towards Goji at speeds that made her look like her body was flickering in and out, before landing a Night Slash in his big wound but used it in a stabbing manner with her claws to deepen the injury, making Goji let out a loud grunt, "! LUCHAAAA! [Dammmn yoooou!]" said Chad before he dashed at her, grabbed her from behind and soared her into the air with him. "*gets jetted down to ground with him* You think I've never been in situations like these? I'll show you, bird-brain eVe" she Taunts him, taking him aback before she charged alot of energy into her mouth, and meters before they hit the ground, she lets off a giant, blinding blast wave with her gapping jaw, blowing everyone away, including Chad, with a plumb of rocks and debris scattered when the beam broke apart the ground, and the only one that landed safely on the ground was Piety herself who jumped out of destruction she caused and landed on her feet gracefully. "(Aaaah, nicely done, Piety! If she can keep our foes off balance, victory truly is in our grasp!)" Deimos thought to himself, liking her results, "We cant let up, you guys! Try your Dynamic Punch, Goji! Chad, attack from above with Flying Press!" Terry orders them, "*sees Goji running this way with a winded fist with alot of velocity behind it and Chad diving in from above, chest-first* (A high-low attack? Not bad as well. It'd be a shame if I got away with something...Like this)" Piety plotted, poofing out of the way, leaving Chad to bounce off of a fluffy doll version of her in her stead (with a squicky noise) to his surprise and Goji ended up landing an explosive punch at Chad's back by accident, burning off most of his back feathers, and sending him flying, then Wrath lands on Goji's back. "CH..Chaaaa...GAAAH!" Chad loudly grunts before hacking up a glob of blood into the ground, struggling to get up, "Now Wrath, grace him with oblivion with a maganimous Hyper Beam!" Deimos commands with excitement in his voice, "*sees the Garchomp gathering a big mass of energy in his mouthk Goji, quick! Double-Edge! *sees his whole body turn red and gives Wrath a massive smack of his fist into his head right before he blasts, still suffering further damage when the Beam shot and blew his hand apart in a violent, bloody manner in several spots* Now fight through the pain and give him some Close Combat!" Terry shouted, "('With the rate you're going, Goji..You may become the strongest Machamp in the Region. Terry will be proud to have you.' That's right! Now's not the time to let Terry down! Not after all the training we did!) RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Goji roars, lifting himself off the floor, then with a big flex he pushes Wrath off of him, dashes at him, and starts landing 100s of hard-hitting punches all over Wrath's body, breaking some of his teeth and claws, making him fall in front of him as he got heavily battered and bloodied in many places, only landing a Slash with a broken claw as Goji stood hunched over in exhaustion. "BLAST! Wrath, you are better than this! This is no way to give in to your foe, no matter how mighty they seem!" Deimos complained, "Heh. You compliment one second, then dont like how things go the next. You sure like ta flip-flop alot eh?" Terry points out with a smirk, "Believe me! It is thrilling to see my Saviors display their power upon the battlefield! I do not however want to feel as if they have 'Thrown the towel' as they say, too soon. They must draw as much power from their enemies as possible. Leave them soulless for all I care, you two!" he replied, "O-ok..I getcha. (Man is this guy nuts. But that Zoroark of his...I have to think of something good for her or we'll be wiped in no time)" Terry then thought to himself, trying to plot around her trickery.

Near the edge of West Quintile Town's broken bridge, Josh can be seen sitting away from his Lopunnys as they train together. He huddled to himself with his knees to his chest as he watched, still lamenting over the loss and how his situation's getting. He then looked to the sky. To clear his head. To imagine a different life than this. Maybe to gather hope through osmosis? I dunno, it's a weird thing that people do, so not even he's sure. After shaking the ground with a series of clashing their ears at each other, the twins looked back at their Trainer, feeling bad for him, so they walked up to him, but when they did something caught their eye behind him. It got Josh's attention so he looked behind himself too, seeing familiar faces, even some new ones!

"[Josh] Cy? Well you weren't gone too long. Barely a whole day even."

"[Cypress] You can say that again, J. I got some great news! I met a girl that'll be great help to us! ^o^"

"[Chloe] *makes a peace sign to him* The name's Clover Chloe! And Im the best Fairy Type Trainer around! uO"

"[Cypress] No doubt too. She really saved my bacon in one of the Routes earlier. ^ ^;"

"[Josh] So uh...This mean she's already a girlfriend of your's, Cy?"

"[Chloe] What!? Of course not! I only agreed to help you guys, and that's it! V"

"[Josh] W-whoa sorry I asked o o;. I've...Just been out of it lately so.."

"[Cypress] Let's...Just say we dont talk to regular girls much, so we're pretty rusty at it..^ ^;;"

"[Chloe] Well you better get a grip around me. I didnt join just to be in some awkward group or be gawked at. "

"[Tiff] As long as you dunt touch my Jushy like some skank bitch, tin you altrights."

"[Chloe] Oh- OH! Did y-your Lopunny cuss me out?! O o;"

"[Josh] Tiff! What'd I say about watching your mouth! Listen for once! ;"

"[Tiff] Im jus sayin that only Im allowed to suck your dick."

"[Josh] TIFF! NOT IN FRONT OF HER! O/O;;"

"[Chloe] You...You do WHAT with her? ;;;;"

"[Josh] L-L-Look Im not really trying to do anything with her or her sis, alright? They just really like getting real handsy with me is all. /~~~/;"

"[Tiff] Tw T He also likes to fuck- *gets returned into my Pokeball*"

"[Josh] Imma give her a real talking to later...She should know better...-V-"

"[Macey] Umm..S-sowwy..S-sish can be a real handful sommertimeses. Pwease forgive her../m/"

"[Chloe] *giggles* If only she was more like you. There should be only one loudmouth around here anyway. (But does he really...Do It with them? I can only hope she's joking...~ ~;;;)"

"[Cypress] W-well in other news..She helped me get two more new Pokemon for my end! ^u^"

"[Josh] Oh nice! Let's see 'em."

"[Cyypress] Sure thing, J! Say hi, Zackery!"

"[Zackery] *lands after being thrown out of a Pokeball* Cinno Cin! ^o^ [Hey there, Josh!]"

"[Josh] Heheh, he's awfully cute. Glad to have ya, lil Zack. ^ ^ Is he at least tough for a Minccino?"

"[Cypress] Well..Not exactly. It did take a few tries to catch him, but I do plan to train him up with my girls. And with her too! Cmon out, Sharle!"

"[Sharle] *lands out of the Great Ball* Top of the morning, fellows. So this is that Josh boy you told me about."

"[Josh] Uh...A talking Purugly, huh?"

"[Cypress] We didnt have the best picks in the world for the Route so...I-I mean Sharle is tougher than she looks. Chloe actually ran out of Great Balls just to get her for me."

"[Sharle] And this Tiffany he mentioned. Bring her out soon so I that see to it that she gets a piece of my mind. uVu"

"[Josh] Well at least Im glad someone's beating me to the punch here. I say this pick's a reallyy good one for you, Cy."

"[Cypress] T-thanks J ^ ^. I wanted to get this Lucario we found too, but we actually ran out of Balls for him so he got away."

"[Josh] Oh really? Dont think we can get a better find than that here. Let's keep an eye out for it."

"[Shell] *gets pushed from behind Cypress by Sharle* I-I...T-Ty said it was ok for...F-For me to join you guys too.. ;"

"[Josh] Hold on...1, 2, 3...Hey we're at the full party count if you were to help out at Gyms, Cy. Thought it'd take way longer but here we are."

"[Chloe] That's the other thing! He told me how important it was for you to win these battles, so I wanted help there too!"

"[Josh] Oh wow! I mean it does make sense. Cy's team aint bad but he'll need time to catch up with Tiff & Mace. Then there's the stuff with Vrey...He told you, right?"

"[Chloe] Mmhmm. Taking down a major psycho like him's gonna be the ultimate test for me!"

"[Macey] W-well thera also a someone else name Deemose. Hes team i-is real strong too, but may be even more crasy.*giggles* ^ ^;"

"[Sharle] Ugh, little lady. Learn to announciate! How much do you louts even teach her? T T"

"[Josh] Sorry..Like I've been sayin' there's been alot that's been getting to me and.."

"[Sharle] That is no way to lead your team! The more you spend feeling sorry, the more value you siphon from your team, so get a grip!"

"[Josh] Look Sharle I-"

"[Sharle] That is to you young man!"

"[Josh] Young man now? How old are you? o O"

"[Sharle] Older than you but that is not important! Find your marbles and look determined! How else do you expect these girls to win with you? oVo"

"[Josh]...Fine!Im snapping out of it and will keep focus!"

"[Shell] W-way to shope him up../x/"

"[Sharle] Now then. What interests me is your Lopunnys' mother. If it is who I think it is..Then I am going to meet. She has She has something..Very valuable."

"[Josh] I wonder what it could be..Do you remember what she was like? I kept figuring she wouldnt be too relevent to everything. I mean Im sure she means alot to Tiff and Macey but yknow..Be lying if I said it's hard to ask nowadays."

"[Macey] It had be so long since I've seen her.."

"[Sharle] Not surprising. Because she went missing. Madam Tina was alot like your friend Macey here. I quickly grew fond of her lady-like charms. She was very kind, sweet, and brought peace where ever she went. How she went missing is a mystery to me."

"[Cypress] Brought peace eh...I'd love to meet her then. I wish I could do that with my team. She sounds amazing so far ^u^."

"[Josh] If I had to guess, Zenith probably got a hold of her. If we can take care of enough bases in time, she's bound to pop out among them."

"[Shell] W-well whatever! *starts shivering in place* Can we go inside somewhere now? Being outside without Blitz makes my nerves act up!"

"[Josh] A-Alright then! Who's up for training first?"

"[Cypress] I uh, I'll see how good Bell and Patricia do against Sharle."

"[Sharle] Hmm, interesting choice young man. I shall whip them into shape."

"[Josh] Much as I wanna see a Purugly in action, let's have Tiff and Mace tackle someone from your team, Chloe."

"[Chloe] Now we're talkin'! Let's see 'em handle my Diance! Go!"

"[Tiff] *is thrown out of the poke ball, seeing Diance* Oh, I's fightening her? Kyyay. *looks over to Sharle* Woahw, and your ass is almost as big as sis! O3O"

"[Sharle] *turns away from her* D-dont look! Focus on your battle!"

"[Tiff] You wanna squeeze it, Juuush~? Tw T"

"[Josh] Tiff! You heard her! We're in the middle of training here! /"

"[Sharle] (Ugh! The nerve of this Lopunny. I am fortunate that I am not facing her. Who knows what sneaky things she'd do to my rear..x)"

"[Shell] (M-Mine too. She already got me back there before..I'll get her back soon by...Oh wait what if she wants that?! M;;;)" she thought to herself before calming herself by rubbing her stick faster in her hands, watching the Trainers begin to test their team's strength. "Start off with Power Gem, Ceecee!" Chloe orders, "(Whoa! She has zero hesitation!) Mace, try to Flail through it! *sees her swiping her arms frantically at them gem-shaped energy blasts, but they push her backwards into a tree, head-first* (What the-! How strong are those things?!)" Josh reacts, "Now use DIamond Storm!" she also ordered, "Diaaaan! Ceee!" she lets out, shooting a wave of refracting shards at Tiff, who used her ears to knock them away but they ended up being caught in the puffs of her ears, precisely enough to send her skyward. "HUH?! How'd you do that?! O O;" Josh reacts, 'Heheh, with enough practice she can do that with no problem. She's holding back by quite a bit too UuU" Chloe tells him, "(Shoot! How am I gonna fight her when she has so many surprises? Dgh, I might as well try too) Tiff use your Agility to shake 'em out and go into Twin Combination!" Josh ordered her, "(Twin what now? Let's see what that's all about!) *sees Tiff rapidly move her legs around before doing a forceful kick upwards that blew a ton of air at her ears, flinging the shards out while jetting her downwards, notcing her eyes glowing blue, suddenly become quicker* ! Whoa! Look at her go now! Alright Ceecee, keep track and give 'em a Moonblast!" Chloe ordered some more. Her Diance made a quick charge of energy in front of herself before blasting it at the twins but once they saw it coming, the two moved their legs at incredible speeds in a running manner, seemingly appearing behind Ceecee and dashing through her with a dual ear-punch, strong enough to send her Diance flying into the air. "Nice one, J! You just thought of that one huh?" Cy asked, "Almost an hour ago, yeah. (Good. Tiff's Foresight came through, as well as their Agilities linking up in a really short time, and Tiff mimicked Mace's Dizzy Punch real closely. Took a few tries but they got it down in no time! Though they know that it'll take the slightest mistake to mess it up)" Josh then reflects, "*sees Ceecee fall to the ground hard, still getting up* That wasnt too bad, right Ceecee? Looks like you really good after all. Glad you're getting into it! ^u^" she tells him, "Yeah uh...d-dont mention it.." he replied somewhat meekly. "(It's a bit hard to tell but he's coming around. He'll be invested in battling in no time ^^. Now...)" Cypress thought, with Sharle waiting patiently for his first moves. The Purugly's prescense intimidates Cy's team despite her calm, elegant nature, knowing however that she has some real strength waiting to be used. "*whispers to Bell* I feel the pressure too, Bell. But we gotta start off with you ok? To see how well she does. Hit her with Psybeam!" Cypress commands, "Deedeeee! ovo;" Bell shouts, "*sees the beam coming; starts Honing Claws by brushing them on one another* Child..*Slashes through the beam and makes the light from it scatter from sharpened claws, most of it hitting a tree behind* I know you can do better than this. No need to hold back" Sharle told him, "(I guess she's asking for our strongest move already...I..Wont go overboard with it so..) Give Bell your Simple Beam, Treece. *sees her send her a wave of spiraling energies* Then use Helping Hand.." Cy starts commanding before Patricia does a resounding clap, "(As expected. Their forte isnt power, but rather it more about gaining it through supportive means. Now what could this attack be?)" Sharle wondered, Honing her Claws some more, "(I might have to do something about her using Hone Claw. That could get ver nasty if she does it a few more times...I guess this really is my best option) Go ahead and do Stored Power, Bell!" he told her, "DEEEDEEEEE!" she loudly shouts, shooting a big ball of energy at Sharle, "(Hmph. Not the worst thing I've dealt wi-)" the Purugly thought while raising her claw in a dignified manner, "Then use Psychic!" he quickly commands, "Hmm?! *feels a series of shocking pains ramming through body* Ghhhh! P-Purug!" she loudly grunts before taking an explosion from the Storedd Power attack. "Alright it worked! D-did we really get her? o o;" Cypress said, "*waves awayy the smoke from the attack, slightly bleeding from arms and head with several scuffs on my body* Quite a dirty little move there. While I will not fault you too much, it would be appreciated fi we fought a bit more fair" Sharle told them, "Wow, you really are tough, huh? S-sorry about that. It's a bit of a habbit from seeing how J battles ^ ^;" he replied. Choosing not to wait this time, Sharle seemingly appears next to Patricia and does a series of Fury Swipes on her, only using one paw to claw at her but was plenty to keep her on her feet before Bell jumped back, which she was barely able to dodge, getting cuts on a dozen areas of her body in seconds! "(How's she so fast!? Oh no!) Q-quick Bell! Use Psychic on her!" Cypress was telling her, "*feels a rupture in guts* (I counted on this..But...!)" Sharle thought while turning around, lunging her long tail at Bell while it had a metallic sheen [Iron Tail], which she ducked in time but took a heavy slam of it after Sharle did fast front-flip, "Now's your chance for a Draining Punch, Treece!" Cy ordered, "Audiii! o;" she replied before dashing in with readied fist. Seeing her after turning her head, she used her Iron Tail again to swipe at her but Patricia slid under it and sprung up with a leap to land the hit into her stomach, though she got landed on top of by the big Purugly's body [Body Slam]. "(Oh Dear do I detest this move. But if it works for situations such as these) *feels several shots of energy firing and bouncing off of my ass* ! Why you! Stop that immediately! *turns around, seeing how it came from Bell, who looked winded but still had smile* You are even more of a runt than I thought..Do you have a death wish, little girl? _V_#" the Purugly warns with an extended set of claws out, starting to look furious as Bell shook in her knees, "I-I wouldnt hit her back there again..Who knows how mad s-she'll get. I know I'd have either one of them on a stick if that happened to me " Shell comments, "They're really going at it for training, aren't they? I doubt I can last a second against her..o o;" Zackery comments, "H-how're able to talk so well? You dont look like you're from anywhere close to Victory Road.." Shell asks, "Oh. I guess mommy and daddy are from there. They spoke like this all the time" he replied with a slightly lost face, "(That so...He may not look it but he's pretty smart..It sounds like he's a bastard child too. I've never heard of a case where other mons can inherit that..But you never know with Pokemon in this Region)" Shell thought more to herself. "*turns around to Cypress (sitting on Patricia's head)* Alright young Cypress. From the top now. I need your team to contest against my Iron Tail. Their lack in power simply wont do" Sharle told him, "I'll..We'll try our best, ok? (She's a great addition to my team if she's able to outthink me half the time, but I guess I really am facing a bit of a wall here..What if I face more opponents like this and J really needs me to pull through? *looks at Zackery* I might need his help for this too)" Cypress then thought to himself, ready to train with the very experienced and cunning Purugly.

The gang ended up training very vigorously for two days before considering to go back to the Gym they lost to, with the first day being the hardest and longest with a training time of 12 hours. At the end of it, Terry and Deimos were still in the middle of battle. Or rather, they were towards the end of it. Finally right? Deimos' hair was rugged and dropped almost fully, with his body covered in sweat from standing and dodging attacks for so long; Similiar case for Terry, who had 3 more Pokemon left (Bisuke, Goji and Chad) that were facing off against Blight and Piety. Bisuke had his wings broken off when surviving against Ruin and Chad stood tall despite the many scars all over his body and a broken, cracked beak from besting Wrath and Regal. "(Dammit all...!) *holds my shaking arm* (My Saviors...Why are they failing me? This avian creature's defenses are otherworldly..Why cant he just die?! Do I, The Great DeMon, have to enact in devouring his soul to decease him?! No...No mere mortal, human or otherwise is prepared for my latent DeMon powers)" Deimos was thinking to himself as a strong gust blew his way, "Hurry up! I want to get this over with NOW!" Piety urged him, "(Piety..) *sees her two severely damaged arms dripping with blood; flashing back to her taking a handful of Rai's Aura Spheres and two of Hara's High Jump Kicks* Do not despair, Piety. For you are exceeding my expectations. Your training as a Savior has proved fruitful. And now..WE MUST FINISH THIS! WELCOME THEM TO OBLIVION! SHATTER THEIR WILL!" he loudly commands, "(! A new command?) *sees his Absol charging a big wave of fire from his mouth* Bisuke, use Megehorn and give it all you got!" Terry ordered, "Heraaaaacross! *makes chopped horn glow brightly while charging at them but ends up clashing with Blight's Megahorn after seemingly appearing in front of me (with Faint Attack)* Hera?!" Bisuke then reacts, "ab...SOOOOL! [now...DIIIIIEEE!]" Blight said upon stopping him, blasting him with a huge Flamethrower attack from his mouth, making him blow up from the exploding impact that flew him skyward and blackened him immediately before he dropped to ground. It was a deadly move and this almost killed him. He's lucky to be alive even! "No way! Bisuke's out just like that?!" Terry reacts, "Excellent! Now resume in making your opponents suffer and deliever hell to them!" Deimos shouts proudly, "*is sent out and lands in front of Terry*(Terry..I..Might not know how much longer I can keep at this...But I'll start giving my all from here on!) ERAAAAAGAHH!" Goji lets out a war cry, before getting Megahorned in the leg by Blight but still proceeded in doing Close Combat, rapidly punching him into the ground, making a crater in seconds, "(Not much can kill Blight but he'll die in no time against that if I dont help)" Piety was reminding herself, using Psychic, "*feels several ruptures in my guts with a forceful push knocking away from Blight* (What the hell was that?!) *lands on my back, turn around, seeing Piety's hand slightly casted out* (I see..It was from her...) *looks back at Blight getting back up, with half of his face battered and bloodied, along with three of his bloddy legs shaking from the beatdown* (We're all...In such bad shape..I can barely...Move too..In that case!)" Terry's Machoke thought before doing a powerful leap right off the ground with his arms crossed, surprising everyone as he does a big Cross Chop attack on Blight's neck, making a gush of blood splatter on their faces but the hevily injured Absol was able to blast him away with a strong Flamethrower from him mouth, burning him while forcing him on his back again. "(What in blazes?!) Blight! Stay with us! You shall fight until your soul leaves from your body! You are the supreme Paladin Warrior of Darkness! Show them how great one's prowess is with such prestige!" he was telling him, "I dunno what you're babbling about...But as much as it pains me..Our team's never been weaker...So we gotta make it count.." Terry told him while panting, "They're at their limit? MY Saviors?! Nonsense! *takes out the Absolite, making it glow inside my Mega Bracelet, as well as an equipped Z-Ring* DO IT BLIGHT! SINK THEM INTO DARKNESS!" Deimos shouts as Blight becomes a Mega Absol. Seeing him in this state while emitting a dense amount of dark energy as he heaved and growled made Terry's heartbeat double in speed, choking him up, with Goji's eyesight inverting upon seeing him like this due to experiencing traumatic fear; Both having trouble thinking straight. "Listen and listen well, Brave One. Even with the destiny you've taken upon your self to walk, no mortal has survived this next move. I suggest that you forfeit, unless you desire to forfeit the lives fo your Pokemon. I now hold their lives in my hand...!" Deimos warns him, "**exchanges a glance with Goji and Chad, who give a very serious stare back*"...Then I'll let this decide everything Alright you two...GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND DONT DIE ON ME!" Terry shouts, "Very well then...THEN YOU SHALL JOIN THE ABYSS WITH THEM AS WELL! SINK THEM INTO DARKNESS, BLIGHT!" Deimos gives as his grand command, "AAAAAAABSOOOOOLLL!" Blight shouts, bringing out his inner strength as a massive sphere of darkness comes out of his body [Black Hole Eclipse]. "NONE OF YOU ARE WORTHY AS MY OPPONENT" they heard come from the huge sphere as the attack began, freezing them for a moment as Deimos' face was stained with a big, evil smile. Trying to suppress as much fear as possible, Goji charges in with a mass of power in his fist, winding one of them up and Chad shoots himself into the sphere. "LUCHAAAAAAA!" Chad howled before the darkness stretched forward and consumed them. "Chad...Goji..A-are you there...? Please...You two gotta tell me! PLEASE!" Terry desperately called for them, "HAH! I am afraid it is too late for them, my friend! I gave a fair enough warning. Now you are paying them price!" Deimos replied, with his smile growing even bigger as the Dark Z-Move spiraled to Terry, sucking him into it too. "Ahahahaha! Foolishness, Brave One. Foolishness. Challenging such a gravely attack of mine. Come here, Piety. We proved our supremcy enough" Deimos said. However. For a moment he stopped after the first step. He knew something unexpected occured in the black hole. Within it hovered Goji and Chad lifelessly. But, as if a phoenix was born within him, his eyes flared open and resumed the glow from his attack to Blight's surprise. Next thing he knew he got swept into the Brave Bird attack as Chad was flying right out of the black hole. By the time Deimos turned around, he sees the incredible Hawlucha bashing himself into Piety's body, defeating her and Blight this way with Terry in one hand. "what...WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Deimos reacts, stunned at what he is witnessing as his whole body vibrates and shakes, putting him in great disbelief that his Saviors have failed him once again. He gave them a moment to stand back up but they couldnt. Recognizing this, he returned them to their pokeballs, with his hands staying stretched out. "How...JUST HOW?! My plan was perfect! Fool-proof! How is it that a mere, lowly-! Hmm? *takes a closer look at Chad, putting a hand on him, feeling no pulse* Oh. I see then...He has deceased after all. Hmph. The true Brave One was before me the whole time...*starts walking away, looking back at the fainted Terry with his Machoke behind him* Though you may've bested my Saviors, I am afraid you are in for a rude awakening once you are able to stand once more. Farewell. Brave One" Deimos told him while going away. Even with this defeat (that was more like a tie but still), it was unlike any other loss he's ever felt. This time he feels like he left with something tangible. Something so great that it weighed on his mind enough to make him collapse as well. The fatigue didnt help either, but a smirk occured on his face as he looked forward to explore what was gained once his strength returns.

Coming back to present time, Josh, Cypress and Chloe stood in front of the Quintile Towns' Gym. Ready to take them on with a new set of eyes for the battle. "Cy...Before we step in..There's something you gotta know" Josh began, "O-Oh? L-Like what, J?" He asked, "After we're done here..Remind me to call Vrey..I know I cant convince him to stop what he's doing..But it's really important this time" Josh seriously told him, "(Wow..He really does mean it. Wonder what it could be. And why am I so uncomfortable about it..?) Ok...I'll make sure I do" Cypress complies, "(I still hate what he's been doing..But I got something in mind for him this time. I'd call him now, but I need all the motivation and focus to get through this)" Josh thought to himself before opening the doors. "*sees Josh walking through the doors, with a new Trainer with him* (Who's the girl with them? Im guessing she'll be battling against us too? So be it. I just wish I could tell them more about Tina...)" Rachael thought, "So you guys decided to come back an-" Howard started, "Shut your damn mouth! *sees him look surprised; takes out a pokeball* Let him have it, Tiff.." Josh then lowly said, "*comes out of the ball and walks to Howard, getting in his face* Alights you lil dick, listen here! You made my Jushy upset n now Im pissed too! See how you likes it! I bets Rachie never wanteds a bitchy bitch partner like you with messy as shit hair cut and shortie-shorts you stole cuz you're too poor to- OVO" Tiff was harraing and bullyng, "Hold it hold it! Where does a Lopunny like you get off with insulting me?! I thought we came here to battle, not whatever this is! oVO;;" Howard told her, "We ares. But I haet you. And I mean really hates you TmT" Tiff tells him, "I-If I can chim in..He..He looks like the type to get bullied and have no dad in his life! That's why he has to feel superior after insulting people! No girl wants a dickless guy like you! M;" Shell followed Tiff's lead, "Ok I get it already! You guys hate me! NOW GET BACK TO YOUR SIDE! *sees them move back to Josh's side* Drrrrgh! oVo;;; (Damn you, Josh...! Making me lose my temper like that..)" he then thought to himself, still finding what the unruly Pokemon said to him to be...Well rude, but it's what he gets for having a nasty attitude! "Rachael! We're doing a Triple Battle! Let's see how these three like that!" Howard shouts, "Triple? Hmm. That would make things a bit faster" she agrees, "(Aww J, I get that you're mad, but let's hope that didnt backfire just now)" Cy thought worriedly in his head, choosing who to send out first. Josh decides on having Tiff out, who found herself joined with Shell and Sharle, facing against the opposing Bolt, Oliver and Guile. "(W-why do I have to face three assholes at the same time? M-maybe I should've kept my damn mouth shut and not join in on the bullying after all V)" Shell thought to herself, "*pets Shell* You got this, Shell! Just focus on who you do best against! ^v^" Chloe encourges, "R-right. I'll...Stay focused /~/ (I-I kinda liked that...Dont tell me Im developing weird feelings for her / /;)" she replied, making Sharle's eyes roll after noticing her legs shaking. "Bolt, Oliver! Wipe 'em out with Earth Power and Earthquake!" Howard commanded them, "(Trying to take everyone out in one go eh?) *sees their Toxicroak hop high into the air* (That's one way to solve this but-) Whoa whoa!" Josh reacts while falling over from the shaking ground, "CHOOOOOMMP! *releases a huge amount of ground-controlling energy to raise and burst mounds of ground around me, creating alot of rocky debris and dust afterwards; waves it all away* Maybe that took care of 'em. *hears a whizzing sound behind me* Hmm?" Bolt grunts before turning around, seeing Shell giving Tiff and Sharle a ride on her sturdy twig, "Nice try, big guy, but I've dealt with things like that all the time with big sis w" Shell told him, "*sees Tiff shaking her ass at me and Shell joined in the same manner of taunting* Hmph. Let's see if you've handled this...! CHOMP" Bolt then shouted, shooting a powerful wave of white water their way, making it explode right above them as it hit the ceiling [Liquidation], "Oh shit! OmO" Shell reacts, getting blown downwards by it's surprisingly strong water pressure, knocked off of the stick with Tiff. "*lands firmly on all fours, sees Tiff & Shell land on their heads* Get a grip you two! Act like we are facing ruthless opponents!" Sharle scolds them, "Teach 'em a lesson with Thrash" Howard told him, "Chooooomp...! I'll enjoy ripping them apart..!" Bolt growls, swiping and rushing at the three Pokemon in front of him, "Try stopping him with Fire Blast!" Chloe told Shell, "HAH! *shoots a massive fireball at the Garchomp, but sees him tunnel through it with a forward diving move before it explodes behind him; puts up 7 Light Screens in front of him but he shatters all of those too while charging in* What do you do against this guy?! O O;;" Shell reacts, "Tiff, use High Jump Kick!" Josh ordered. Tiff's leg shinned for a moment, catching the Garchomp's attention for a split second before receiving a powerful kick from Tiff being above him, hitting him right on the neck, even making his strong swing at her not being enough to effect her momentum, stopping him in his tracks as he tumbles backwards. "The hell was that, Bolt?! No one ever stops your Thrash's rampage! Dont pick now to be useless!" Howard yells at his Pokemon, "*gets up, holding my bleeding head* Drrrggh...! I aint trying to, dammit. Something's up with her this time.." Bolt replied, "(That's right. I made sure to slide in her Lopunnite in her leg's wool before we stepped in. Those Agility exercises before we stepped in are doing great too. Now he has a much less chance of reacting to her speed, along with her attacks having that much force behind them now)" Josh plotted in his head with a smirk, satisfied with the results so far, "*sees Shell charging this way while encasing herself in fire [Flame Charge]* (Does she really think a shortstack like her can-) *notices her zip past me* Hmm?!" Bolt reacts, "*sees Guile land, raising his head this way to his surprise, raises stick with both hands with a loaded amount of Psychic energy [Psyshock]* (Gotcha!) *swings it down on him with some Psychic waves releasing but is blown back by his massive burp that shook the entire room* OoO What...Was..." Shell reacts, "(He may seem passive at times but his Belch is something to look out for. It is his strongest move and provides great defense) *looks at Sharle in the far back, rubbing her claws together* (I see someone else is playing defensive for now too)" Rachael thinks to herself, exchanging an intense glare with Sharle. "Oliver! Pattern Omega, and dont hold back!" Howard commanded his Flygon, "(Already? Let's make this fun, Oliver. You only got one chance to make this work after all...!)" Bolt thought, dashing behind his Flygon partner with a sadistic stare down at him, "(Given that look, it spells nothing but bad news. I just hope Chloe knows what to do against this Strategy Attack)" Josh thought, anticipating the worst. The two Dragon Pokemon took a crouched offensive stance together, with the Flygon rapidly shifting his body [Agility]. then shooting himself at the opposing team with strong purple aura [Dragon Rush] while making rupturing, booming noises with his mouth wide open [Boomburst] and carrying them out with shot stars from his mouth [Swift Attack], "*holds my ears* (Dammit! Should I Mega Evolve her this early? That's alot to deal with!..No! Just a bit longer!)" Josh thought to himself, "('If they go all-out, dont hesitate to do this Counter Strategy' That's our cue!) Shell, quick! Operation: Show Stopper!" Chloe told her, "(D-Dammit! I should've saw that coming! ;) *takes a deep breath* HAAAAAAHH! O" Shell was shouting, shooting several Fire Blasts at Oliver, "*keeps up with Oliver, seeing the incoming attacks as they get disrupted and wiped by the Swift stars' explosively loud, powerful booms* (Heheheheee! These are the strongest Swifts you will ever see, little girl. Did you not figure from-) *sees her shoot even more in other directions* (What is she up to..) *looks in other spots, seeing more and more Light Screens as they grew bigger in size, as the Fire Blasts bounce off of them and the area around us becomes shifty and twisted with various illuminations [Magic Room]* (Hmm!) Oliver, stop! Dont be stupid about this!" Bolt warns him, "Fly? *gets pummeled down by Fire Blasts, one after another, suffering from a series of explosions and deep burns as scales come off in firey chars* FLYGOOON!" he screamed in agony, "Dammit, Oliver! How is it that you blew it here?!" Howard yelled in frustration, "(Good choice, Chloe! And Shell couldnt have done this any better)" Josh thought, exchanging a smile with Cypress, "(Glad I was helpful! I did make this plan after all. Shell has greater control over her moves than she lets on. With this set up I thought of, not only could they not know where her strongest attacks would come from, but it should be hard to tell which Light Screen is which with Magic Room's weird background distortions on see-through things! Bet they dont think Im a pushover now! UuU) *looks over at Cypress, giving each other a smile and a nod* (Now it's your turn to close it off, four-eyes!)" Chloe proudly thought to herself. "*swipes at the remaining Fire Blasts away, and notices claws and wings start to blacken with burns* (So damn annoying. It shouldnt take me this long to get rid of all this!) *gets shot in the back by a reflected stray Fire Blast, dug a few feet in the ground by it as it explodes; comes out of the smoltered ground* CHOOOOMP! *looks over to Oliver as he cant get up* (Pathetic weak bastard..You had your chance...) *looks over to Shell laying on the ground, exhausted and heavily breathing with her huge ass in the air* (Heheheheeee~! Now for my chance...!)" Bolt said in his head, crawling low at Shell, and rising behind her with a predatory gaze, but gets stabbed through the back by a powerful set of claws [Slash]. "*wraps tails around his neck, hardens them [Iron Tail] and relentlessly does many scratches into his back with alot of blood flying from each swipe [Fury Swipe]* Unhand her, you vile fiend! Act like you have some damn manners! OVO *crushes his neck with a loud CRACK from a squeeze of the tails, and lets him fall over after landing; licks the blood off of claws* " Hm. Men these days. No respect for young ladies -V-" Sharle then said, exposing his the bones in his carved spine, "*Returns both Pokemon to their Balls* Useless! Every last one of you! *looks to Rachael* And you! Where were you when you could've told me that this was going to happen! I know you saw her!" Howard was blaming, "I dont wanna hear it, Howard. If I could see it, so could you. I know Puruglys arent known to be among the stronger Pokemon, but you should know to not underestimate these Trainers by now. That is no one's fault than your own. Besides, my Pokemon is still left unhurt. You were just too rash" she told him, looking away with folded arms, "Eeeerrrghh! I didnt ask for your damn opinion! (Stupid bitch..She let them get defeated. Fine! I dont need your shitty help. Go back to Tina if you love her so much! oVo)" Howard told her, "*still licks blood off of claws* (Watch your pouty mouth, young man. You should count your blessings. If I were not with such nice Trainers and this was not a Gym Battle, this would be your blood I'd be licking off by now. Your filthy tongue and vocal cords would be hanging from my paws too -Ve)" Sharle thought to herself, having brewed animosity towards Howard. He really is lucky then. He has no idea how fast she'd turn him into cat food and feed his bones to some Magikarps!

"*throws out Saddie* Quit your whinning. Send out Reverie so we can end this" Rachael told I him, "*sees him throw out his Swampert* ('Allow me to deal with their Swampert. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. As for this Saddie...I am afraid the Twins will have to do their best against that' Ok Sharle..Whatever you have in mind for him, please make it work)" Cypress thought to himself, "(Saddie already huh? Looks like they're getting impatient...Well I can only hope this idea I have for her can work, cuz if it doesnt...Im not sure how many times we can retry before we're out of time..)" Josh thought to himself, but kept his faith strong enough to resonate with his bracelet and it's stone, ignoring how shooken Shell is. "Saddie, Acid Spray now!" Rachael told her, "! I-Im sorry about this! ;" Saddie was saying before shooting roaring shots of acid spit at her oppositions, "Counter with your Light Screen, Shell!" Chloe urged, "R-right! *puts up a Light Screen with a casted hand, most of it getting shattered upon impact with the shot acid* What?! B-but! This never happens! My Light Screens shouldnt be this weak by now! (O-or maybe it's the fact that this Goodra girl is super strong. Where the hell do you Trainers get these dumb mons from anyway?! O O;;)" Shell reacts, retreating behind Tiff. Knowing how difficult these two are, Tiff and Sharle exchange a glance at each other with a nod, confusing Shell for a moment but even she had a sense of growing faith between them despite the need of all of their help to survive this 3-on-3. "You ready, Josh!" Chloe shouts, "Ready! Tiff, team up and do your best with Shell!" Josh ordered, "! Huh?! Why me?! o O;;" Shell reacts, "*grabs her arm and zips to Saddie* You heards tem, Shall! We're bebating their asses! OVO" Tiff shouts, "Intercept with Belch, Guile!" Rachael urged him, "*sees him drop in front, gets used as a shield by Tiff* ! WHAT THE HELL'RE YOU DOING?! *sees him load his air sac with a ton of air* OxO;;;; *puts up a dozen layers of Light Screens* NONONONOO! O;;;;;" Shell reacts, taking a room-shattering Belch from the opponent's Toxicroak that the Screens absorbed the shock of, but broke all of them and sent the two frontrunners flying back. Despite this, the next instant Guile quickly found himself being pummeled to the ground from behind by Tiff's flurry of kicks and ear-punches [Quick Attack], "T-That's right! Let this stupid perv have it! I wanna make him regret fighting us too! Hmmm...! BRAX!" Shell shouts, causing his insides to rupture with a Psychic attack as Tiff was rapidly kicking him in the stomach at blinding speeds, "Reverie stop this with Muddy Water!...Reverie? *sees him stopping in place* Huh? Reverie what're you- *sees him look his way as he's mesmerized by Sharle's fat ass shaking in front of him while a meter away [Attract]* What the-! Reverie! Cut that out this instant! You want us to lose?!" Howard began yelling at him, "*Hones claws some more while still shaking flabby cheeks for him* (Wait until this youngun suffers just like his devious chap did. He can only hope to dream of me after that.. -Ve)" the Purugly schemed to herself, "*shakes and claps butts against and with Sharle* You love yourself some big ol' cheeks dontcha? You dont even care how ugly a skank looks w *sees Sharle's claws in front of my face* N-Not that I meant you of course, Sharle W;;;;" Shell then corrects herself, still to the Purguly's relucence as she bounces her huge ass on the ground for the Swampert. "(J-Jeez Sharle..Where'd you get that fro- ~/~) *shakes my head* (Focus, Josh! Focus! Your cue's coming up!)" Josh refocuses, "Saddie, dont just stand there! Do something!" Rachael ordered her Goodra, "Y-yes ma'am! I-I'll- *gets reached around from behind, and spun around by Tiff as she digs in my pussy with two fingers* Goooo~ Goooowooowoowoooaaahhhh~! / ;;" Saddie was moaning while getting aroused and played with to her confusion, "Ooooh yeaaaah baby~! Goodra pussy is the beeest~! It really turning ooooon~~ ~o~" Tiff was saying to her while having her head to her stomach and continued to spin, "Y-y-yeah uh...J-just as planned, Tiff.../ ('Why dont I just play with her my way? Fightening is way too tuff. You knows I's a comfortable with both male and femmymales, Jush so lemme does this') *is looked at with an awestruck look by Howard* (It's not like it's my idea! I wouldnt do something this dirty! /V/;)" Josh said in his head, watching these unsavory acts on display. "(I should've known you were a goddamn closed Pokephile! Having two Lopunny makes it all the clearer..They may be very strong to get you this far, but I'll be damned to let you beat us! *sees him close his eyes as his bracelet glows a great light from it* What in the...*sees Chloe return Shell to her Ball* W-what the hell is doing now?)" Howard asks himself listlessly, "('Huh...Yknow Cy I dont think I ever tried that..Let's start testing it. Whatever happens, we'll put it to use tomorrow' Alright girls...It's your time to shine...!)" Josh thought to himself with brimming courage before sending Macey out with a big hopeful smile on his face. "I dont like that face, Rach'...Please tell me you have something for this" Howard said, trying not give away how frustrated he is, while Rachael couldnt help but look slightly proud of Josh and his team with a serious smile, "I think even she can tell that this fight's almost over, cuz I got news for ya..Im initiating my Mega Combination. *sees Macey and Tiff touching the Lopunnite together as her sis lets go of Saddie, having each other glow in each other's arms* ('That's it...I'm really getting it now. Macey couldnt last long at all cuz she needed her sis. SHe didnt feel much of Tiff at all, but if she's there..If she really feels she's there for her...!') Mace. Tiff..Let's finish it and make it quick!" Josh shouts, "*sees the twins Mega Evolving* (Great! It's really working this time! I get it too, Josh. Not just any set of Poke twins can do this. There has to be a deep connection between all three of you and for each other. I believe you three have plenty to work with now!)" Chloe thought to herself, looking forward to what the twins can do now. Even I cant wait now and Im just narrating. You know they're in deep trouble when that happens!

Saddie recovers from her sexual high, gazing with Guile who was recovering for more painful reasons as their hearts sank at the beautiful display and presentation of the glamourous twins as they stood very confident in front of them. They touched hips for a moment before holding themselves up, sharing an unshakable smirk. "This is what I love to see, ladies. Now give them a good show, you two \w/" Sharle told them, "You ready, sis? Cuz this might get ugly for them w" Tiff said, "Yes Tiff. I will try my best to make it look so flashy no one can keep up with me UuU" Macey replied, "Over my dead body! Rach'! Tell your damn Goodra to use it and wipe 'em out!" Howard told Rachael, "hmmhmmm..Saddie. If you can. Entertain him for us. Pattern Raining Hazard" she ordered her, "R-right..*looks at Tiff and Macey staring with great confidence behind their smirks* (! I have to at least try ;;)" Saddie replied before doing an Acid Spray shot skyward, busting through the ceiling along with Sludge Bombs as they come down with many purple meteors [Draco Meteor], but it all gets prematurely blown apart to pieces in an instant, "What?! But how can-! (Unless!) *looks back at the team, seeing them already swept several feet in the air by a swift attack* (No...! This cant be! OVO;;;;)" Howard reacts. He couldnt help but watch as Guile, the Swarmpert and even Saddie get pummeled by many incredibly fast attacks as they get throttled around like ragdolls caught in a jet turbine. "*takes turns and doing wild dances with Macey* Tired yet, Mace? I can pick it up a bit more if you like" Tiff asked, "*does many kicks with Tiff at the opposing team upwards, sending them higher in the air* No this pace is fine, sis. I can already feel their will to fight really slipping. It's almost like they can move a muscle at all now even" Macey replied, "*sees many more attacks occur in the air before they twins made the opposing team crash into the ground on the way down, sliding backwards from each other out the rocky cloud they made after crashing them down so forcefully* You two are doing amazingly! This is way better than what we practiced! (They're synchronizing perfectly! I even heard them check on each other while in the air like that. They have so much control over everything. It's crazy to think how strong they become when they're like this) *looks at the awestruck Howard and Rachael as she holds a smile as they returned their Pokemon* Sure you wanna continue? I think it's kinda over, dontcha think? u" Josh asked them, "*giggles* Well. If it weren't for Saddie being as durable as she is, I would've surrendered a minute ago. Right, Saddie? *sees her stand back up, trying to ignore her bruises* Here, I'll even give her a partner to help her survive a bit longer" Rachael replied, throwing out a Drapion. "Alright J! Just push a bit harder! This is her last Pokemon!" Cypress reminded him, "We know too, Cy. No need to remind him of how close we about how close we are at winning this. All me and sis need is a few seconds now UuU" Tiff told him so confidently. Talk about an ego boost, huh? Seeing how daunting her opponents look, Saddie was weak in the knees but was able to dash but did something that surprised the twins. She began to emit a glowing whip [Power Whip] was flailing it at not only the twins but herself as well. "Huh?! What is she doing to herself?! I've never seen a Goodra do this! o O;;;" Cypress reacts, "(It's Saddie's last resort..There's a reason why I gave her that name. Because deep down...She's a sadomascist. We tried Maddie before but she wasnt too fond of it. This way however, she can amp her attacks due to her Gooey properties strengthening her when hit by Grass moves) *sees Chloe looking back at her with a surprised stare* (Ah. Did you figure it out yourself too?)" Rachael was thinking to herself, "*dodges her lunges and whipping attacks, getting hit very few times* (Mmmmn! Why're these hits hurting more than the last?) *gives her a big kick to the gut, then she looks up at me with a crazed stare for a moment then a teary look [Tearful Look] the next second* Hmm? J-just what's gotten into you? o o;" Tiff reacts, seeing that the Goodra had a growing twist of ice coming from her body [Blizzard], but she gets kicked away by Tiff who's leg got frozen over and Macey followed her with a room-shaking kick of her own, making Saddie spin on the ground. The Drapion the other hand was busy with Sharle, able to grab her and made her suffer a big Crunch to her shoulder, making her back off before laying out Toxic Spikes arond her, some already getting stuck in her paws. "You damned, filthy cur...! *raises a claw before leaping to him* YOU WILL PAY FOR RUINING MY FUR! *does a big Slash at him but Saddie gets in the way, taking the deep cut for him with a smile* (! Where..When did she...?) *sees the Drapion hop over Saddie, coming down with a X-shaped ooze-covered claw attack [Cross Poison]* Oh no you dont! *stops him in place in mid-air with an Iron Tail to his chest, but his claw reaches to my face, opening wide at me* Hmm!?" Sharle reacts, being blown back by a wave of poison [Venoshock], finding it hard to stand afterwards. Seeing the twin Lopunnies struggling to keep Saddie down some more, the Drapion sends distored waves to their minds [Confuse Ray], but gets his head wraped by Sharle's tails before it hardens as Iron Tails, getting his attention as he looks back. "So you like messing with people's heads I see..*stares into his eyes and mine glow shimmers of whiteness, making him drowsy [Hypnosis] and puts him to sleep* (Perfect...Now that my claws are at maximum sharpness..)" Sharle then plots, and with a big lunge at him, she does many Fury Swipes to his chest befpre stabbing him with all of her claws, much of his blood splashing in her face, making him tumble down on her. A sigh of relief escapes her mouth. Now she can relax as the twins finish the battle for the team...Or will they? "*sees them Mega form lose their forms* Already?! (She's stil standing too..Cmon girls, just a little more...!)" Josh then reacts, watching his duo exhausted in front of him. In fact everyone fighting is exhausted now!

With a High Jump Kick landed across Saddie's face by Tiff, she retaliates with a Blizzard, locking the twins to the ground as she catches her breath while her mouth dripped with alot of blood. "Sharle! Please tell me you can still fight! " Cypress shouts, "*struggles to move, an arm bleeding out more and more* I...Am afraid not, young Cypress..But I am in better shape than the girls.. e ;;" Sharle replied, "(Then...I'll keep her out for guidence..I think she still has some good ideas) J! Mind giving the girls a rest? ;" Cy asked, "...As much as it pains me..*returns Tiff and Macey to their balls* Both of them did so great too...Go ahead, Chloe. You too, Cy" Josh signals to them, "(A bit risky...But I know he needs the experience..) Y-you got it, J!" Cypress complies, throwing out his other Pokeball, "*throws out the other ball as well* You're back in the game too, Shell!" she follows. "*comes out of the Ball* H-huh? A-am I the last one? *looks over to the bloodied Sharle* S-Sharle!? What happened to you?! Why're you so hurt? / O\;;;" Zackery reacts, "Pay no mind...To me, young Zackery...Our last foe is weakened...Please..Try your best.._V_;;" Sharle was weakly saying, "*appears next to him* Hmm?! Why do I have to come back out!? *sees Saddie in bad shape with many bruises* H-How the hell is she even standing?! I thought the girls in their Mega forms were supposed to finish this fat bitch off! O;;;" Shell complained, "All three of you have to hold her off as much as possible in case my team is still needed, so let's get a grip here!" Josh told them. Reluctant and frightened at the endurance of the Goodra in front of her, she knew how important it was to take her down. Shell was also eager to prove herself to be a strong Gym Leader's Pokemon, and have something to brag about when she meets big sis Blitz again. Zack gathered enough courage to shoot Swift Attacks at Saddie as cover fire, which of course bounced off of her but distracted her well enough to not keep track of Shell, who slid behind her to fire a large Fire Blast at her back, and before she could use Dragon Pulse to get rid of it, Shell sent bursts of ruptures in her body with Psychic, ensuring the flast landed in a big explosion. In the smoke fired a bunch of Sludge Bombs which landed on all of her oppositions, including Zack, blowing them away as the poisonous attack was eating at their fur and skin upon falling to their knees. "You have them on the ropes too, Saddie. Power Whip and dont hold back" Rachael told her, which Saddie follows as she made a large Power Whipe, closing her eyes while flailing it all over the battlefield, having Josh's side dodge left and right of while Rachael was confident enough to stand in one place, assured that it wouldnt hit her despite the wild attack kicked up alot of dirt and made some deep cracks in the ground. Her opposition quickly found themselves flying and bouncing around from the now unstable floor they stood on as it was being destroyed by the attack's savage, forceul lashings. "*feels another internal rupture again* ! Got to...Keep...Go...ing.." Saddie was grunting, "*casts out a hand while holding my head with other; pants* You're...Stopping that...Right now..." Shell weakly declares, drooling from her high efforts of keeping up Psychic, "Enough of this, Saddie..Use it. Draco- *hears rapid thumping* Hmm!?" Rachael then reacts, having something blow a big gust past her lnng blonde hair to her surprise, "*darts over to Saddie who was turning to me from behind* (Sorry young Goodra...But let's say the Twins aren't the only one to use Agility...!)" Sharle thinks to herself, having deep cuts happen all over the Goodra's body as she zipped past her, making her opponent finally fall to the ground, with Sharle herself sliding on her back after the attack. Seeing Saddie going down like that put her in a moment of shock before turning away, and left Howard speechless. On Josh's end, he was happy to see him and his teammate succeed for him when things got messy for Tiff and Mace at the end. Though he was mixed about this outcome...Feeling as though if the girls pushed just a bit more, they wouldnt need to be switched like that, and his opponents' listless faces rubbed him the wrong way too.

"[Josh] Hey you two...Dont look like that...You...Both really tried your best, right? Aint that something to take some pride in?"

"[Howard] Dont you dare speak to us...All those victories because of Saddie and our other powerful Pokemon...Even with all the modifications they went through...Your team just...how...HOW?!"

"[Josh]...You have no else to blame than yourself for losing. If you gave genuine effort into making them as strong as possible, this wouldnt happened!"

"[Chloe] Exactly Josh! They should be ashamed of themselves! No Pokemon should be taken advantage of like that! Especially not for a bunch of sore losers like you Gym Leaders!"

"[Rachael] You two...I dont know what type of training you two did to get stronger within a short time...*turns to them* But you had your advantages too. It may not nessecarily be biological engineering, but...Well..At least not entirely biological."

"[Josh] W-what do you mean..? You...Know something that we dont?"

"[Rachael] I know plenty, in fact..If memory serves we promised to info you if you happened to win, so here...About those Lopunnies of yours'...They were from a heavily modified Lopunny. Does Tina ring a bell?"

"[Sharle] ! So you did know about her.."

"[Josh] Tell me! What exactly happened with her?! She should've stayed with her children and protected her, especially if she's incredibly strong too!"

"[Rachael] Thing is...I know mostly about her past and some current events surrounding her..Because...Before she was with your father..She was with me.."

"[Josh] S-she...SHE WAS?! O O;"

"[Rachael] She was so kind and peace-loving...She took solace in my prescene...So she didnt meet the same fate as her mate. He was killed by the Region's Legendary."

"[Josh] He was...? Then...Would that mean that Tina.."

"[Rachael] I dont know...One day she disappeared from my sight too..But since she still has feelings for me and your father, chances are that she seeks to defeat the Legendary herself. Foolish as that may sound.."

"[Josh] Do you...Know what this thing is like? It sounds scary powerful.."

"[Rachael] The name of it escapes me, but it is said to have it's own Type, that is effective against all others but has no weaknesses.."

"[Josh] ! That really is terrifying..If we can beat it..."

"[Rachael] You may as well consider yourself the Region's strongest Trainer. No one has yet to come close to being on par with it. This Pokemon is considered Legendary for a reason."

"[Josh] (I see...So if we can find where the Legendary is, then we have the best chance of finding their mother...But dad...I have to find him too. He has alot to explain about himself with this. As if he didnt have alot to explain before...)"

"[Howard] That's enough, Rach'...Just give him the damn Badges. He shouldnt waste his time to some Blacklists like us..Maybe he'll be feared once people see our Badges."

"[Josh] B-Blacklist..? What is...*is given a Badge with a dark purple skull and cross bones with black and yellow triangle as it's base [Toxin Badge], and the other Badge that looked like a black mountain with a bloodstain at the bottom of it [Canyon Badge]* (These look...A bit on forbodding side..)"

"[Rachael] As Blacklisted Gym Leaders...We have free reign to kill whoever we fight...Mostly due to doing that before. As you can imagine, it's quite discouraging for any newcomers. Count yourselves lucky.."

"[Josh] LUCKY?! *gets everyone's attention* What're we doing?! Pokemon Battles are supposed to be for fun and show what you've learned from all your other battles! It shouldnt ever be do-or-die! Do you two even know what that even means anymore?!"

"[Cypress] J..."

"[Chloe]...He has a point...I love battling too, but not for my survival! I wanna be the best Fairy Type Trainer to show people how good I am and inspire them too! My team are more than happy to help me at every turn for good reasons yknow!"

"[Rachael] I...*tries not to tear up*"

"[Josh]...I get it...We've lost our way when things got too hard for this Region...And Vrey didnt help with any of it..He just made it all worse..."

"[Rachael] He...Wasnt exactly easy to deal with..Even before his defeat from your father...He just wanted to see what you two see in all this...And for that..*walks to Josh, giving him 48,000poke* Take this as an apology..From him, to me, to you."

"[Josh]...Well thanks for..At least trying to understand...Aint too often I get that..."

"[Cypress] Aww J dont be like that. You know Im always here for you. And now Chloe is too. / u\"

"[Josh] Yeah...Thanks as always, Cy...Just know that...When it comes to people like Vrey..Those will your biggest hurdles as a Ranger..Those that choose not to change for the better...I remind myself time and time again.."

"[Cypress] Did you...Still wanna call him?"

"[Josh]...There's alot I just learned so.."

"[Sharle] Allow me to pitch in. I believe he needs to hear what a lady has to say about his behavior."

"[Josh] I-I guess, yeah...If I can know more about what happened back then.."

"[Chloe] Im really sorry for what this is like for you, Josh..But we know what to do. I dont think we need to know more about the past."

"[Josh] Maybe...But if it helps me understand him more.."

"[Sharle] Dont be foolish, boy. *gets his attention* It is like you said. He digs himself a deeper and deeper hole. Apparently one so grand that it has dragged many with him. You are not to follow in his footsteps, let alone sympathize with that."

"[Josh] But what should I do even when I stop him...I still dont..."

"[Sharle] We will discuss it later, but I need you think about what it'll take so others do not become anything like Vreyian."

"[Chloe] Yes, and me and Cypress will help you every step of the way. We know you can do it, Josh! ouo"

"[Josh] You guys..."

"[Howard] Great friends.."

"[Josh] Hmm? You say something?"

"[Howard] Forget it..Just get out of my sight."

"[Josh] (Speaking of guys who dig their own holes..) Whatever...You know where the next gym is, right Cy?"

"[Cypress] Yep. I'll help lead the way."

"[Josh] Ok then. Let's get going. *walks out with them as Sharle was returned* (Im not looking forward to telling Tiff and Mace about this...Who knows how they'll take it..) *looks back at Howard for a moment, seeing how he's just staring at the ceiling before shutting the door* (You'll get it one day...I know you will)" he thought before shutting the door to continue their Journey. With heavy hearts they still move on to seemingly uncharted territory. Now two Badges shy of earning them all and proving they are ready to tackle the Elite Four, to get to the Champion. Remember this, Josh was realizing how foolish Vreyian's rampage is, given that the Champion would be his biggest threat. Thusly, he sought to want to save Vreyian. But only as far as this. Will it be worth it even if he succeeds? Only time will tell.

At the final gym, owned by Irmala, Deimos returns to her for yet another attempt at not only to get his Sylveon back, but to take her life; However dubious that even that may seem now. Unbeknowst to him, he is not the only one to arrive there. "Irmala...These feelings of mine...They haunt the core of my very soul...I am afraid if I am to conqueor this heaviness...I shall take the life of the one that is behind it...And exact my vengeance...! *kicks open the door* FOR MY SEVEN SAVIORS! OVO *sees Vreyian sitting in front of her as they turn to me* Wha...WHAT IN BLAZES IS THIS?! *is shoved into the wall by Psychic force* Aaaaggghhhh!" Deimos then grunts, "Can you stop saying dumb shit for once? The adults are talking here. U U" Chasm told him, closing the door to continue their conversation. "(She should feel extremely lucky. Vrey usually doesnt take anyone this seriously and this girl just happens to be someone he's yet to battle. Even showing a little power from her team made things come to this) *sees her smile at me* (You think you can quell his anger eh? Hmph. We'll see about that. We'll see what this 'Gift' she's mentioned is too)" Void thought, looking down on her as she sat with his Trainer ever skeptically.
