Sorry for the wait, I had things to add in this chapter, and life has been way too busy for me. And I posted my new story The Phantom Of Berseria the other day and I hope you like that.

Also I'll start having more Pokemon in the story, and except for some Pokemon, I won't be doing their Pokedex entries or describing them, it's to save time, and everyone in this story should know most about Pokemon after all this time. So here's chapter 17.

Chapter 17

The Secomers And The Bugs

It has been two years since the war with Plegia, and with hard work from everyone, peace has returned to Ylisse. And with the help of people and Pokemon, Ylisse has become a better land. In other words, life was good for them. In the capital city, which was now bigger than before and was home to all kinds of Pokemon, with everyone living and working together.

Chrom and Simon watched the city go about its busy day, enjoying the view from one of the palace balconies, with Chrom and Simon in common outfits, and Copperajah and Pyroar resting nearby.

"Things sure have changed in the past two years." Chrom said to Simon. "It sure has, but things are finally calming down a little." Simon said to Chrom. "Come on Simon it hasn't been that bad. Or does my new head Royal Guard have a hard time with rebuilding a country?" Chrom asked Simon. "I'm talking about all the weddings. Rebuilding a country wasn't as taxing as all those weddings." Simon said to Chrom. "You have a point: everyone has gotten married over these last two years." Chrom said to Simon.

"In order, you and Robin, me and Harper, Lissa and Donnnel, Miriel and Frederick, Sully and Stahl, Daniel and Grace, Olivia and Virion, Gregor and Nowi, Gaius and Sumia, Ricken and Maribelle, Theo and Layla, Panne and Kellam, Lon'qu and Cordelia, Madison and Ethan, and finally Libra and Therja." Simon said to Chrom.

"The only one who hasn't gotten married was Vaike and Anna." Chrom said to Simon. Yes, but he, Olivia, Theo, Layla, left with Virion to his birth country. And Anna does care about love, just money." Simon said to Chrom. "And let's not forget that Daniel and Grace left for Feroxi to work for Basilio and Flavia. And Madison and Ethan went to Plegia, to help clean up Gangrel's mess left." Chrom said to Simon. Then a soldier walked up to them.

"Sire, a messenger from Regna Ferox." A soldier said to Chrom. "Have them meet us in the throne room." Chrom said to the soldier. "Yes sir!" the soldier said to Chrom before leaving. "I wonder what's going on?" Simon asked Chrom. "Let's find out?" Chrom said to Simon, before they left for the throne room, with Copperajah and Pyroar waking up and following them.

Once they entered the throne room, they found Frederick, Luxray, Raimi and her Lairon, which was now an Aggron now, waiting for them. "Prince Chrom, I come on behalf of Khan Regnant Flavia, and of advisor Daniel." Raimi said to Chrom. "Flavia and Daniel? Well, this is a surprise. Is something amiss?" Chrom asked Raimi. "I fear so, milord. The Khan requests your presence at a summit as soon as you're able." Raimi said to Chrom.

"What's happened?" Chrom asked Raimi. "Our western neighbors of Valm are no longer acting so neighborly." Raimi said to Chrom. "Valm? Isn't that where Virion, Olivia, Theo, Layla, Vaike, and their Pokemon went after they all got married.?" Simon asked everyone. "Yes it is." Chrom said to Simon. "The emperor, who they name the Conqueror, has launched warships against us." Raimi said to everyone.

"An invasion? Are you certain of this?" Chrom asked Raimi. "Yes, milord. The khan hopes to meet with you in Ferox, if it pleases you." Raimi said to Chrom. "What do you make of this, sire?" Frederick asked Chrom. "I'll do business to be sure. Raimi, we will meet with Flavia and Daniel at once…" Chrom said to Frederick. "Why am I not surprised? I'll let the shepherds know we're leaving, and send messages to Madison and Ethan to let them know to meet us in Ferox." Simon said to Chrom.

"Then will we leave?" A female voice asked everyone. That's when they all noticed Robin in a purple dress, Harper in some green normal clothes, Absol, and Appletun walking to them. And in Robin and Harper's arms were two babies wrapped in decorated blankets. "Um, sorry, but… you two… are staying here." Simon said to Robin and Harper. "I agree with Simon." Chrom said to the girls.

"Chrom…" Robin said to Chrom. "I'd stay with you if I could, Sumia, but we owe Regna Ferox a great debt. I must appraise myself of the facts there before deciding on a course of action." Chrom said to Robin. "And as Chrom guard, I have to go with him." Simon said to Harper. "Oh, I'm not asking you to stay here with me. I'm saying I'm coming with you." Robin said to Chrom. "Yeah. You know you can't go anywhere without us." Harper said to Simon and Chrom.

"Harper, Robin, you two have people that need you more than us." Simon said to the girls, as Robin and Harper turned the babies to them, revealing them to be girls, with white skin, ruffles of dark blue and brown hair sleeping in their arms. "Simons's right. Lucina and Hannah are newly born! They need their mothers now." Chrom said to the girls.

"Can they not be wet-hursed as you and Lissa were? That is House Ylisse's tradition, is it not?" Robin asked Chrom. "Besides, it's not like they'll be alone. They'll have each other and Emmeryn will help take care of them, she raised Gibble into a fine Garchomp, and she helped raise you and Lissa. Plus Emmeryn will have Garchomp, Phila and Phila's Toucannon to help." Harper said to Chrom, as Lucina and Hannah started to wake up, revealing Lucina's dark blue eyes with the family symbol in it, and Hannah's hazel eyes.

"Plus Lucina and Hannah are strong children; they take after their fathers. The brand in Lucina's left eye is not your only gift to her Chrom." Robin said to the guys. "I'm worried about more than our child. I'm worried about you." Chrom said to Robin. "The same could be said for me." Simon said to Harper. This earned the guys a mean look from their wifes.

"That's sweet. But we're still coming." Robin said to the guys. "And there's nothing you can say or do to stop us." Harper said to the guys. "I know better than to argue once your mind is made." Chrom said to Robin. "And I know you'll do it no matter what I say." Simon said to Harper, as Lissa, who was in a yellow dress, and her Chansey, which was now a Blissey, walked into the room, both of them laughing at Chrom and Simon.

"Wow, Sumia and Harper really have two you trained well!" Lissa said to Chrom and Simon, still laughing at them. "Lissa- You're not helping." Chrom said to Lissa. "Just promise me you'll return at the first sign of danger, Robin. Lissa and I had Emm of course, but we lost our parents when we were young. I want Lucina to grow up with her whole family around her." Chrom said to Robin. "And I want Hannah to grow up knowing both of her parents. So let's both be careful." Simon said to Harper.

"Deal." Harper said to Simon. "I'll be careful. I promise Chrom." Robin said to Chrom. "I will ride ahead with Luxray and assemble the Shepherds, milord." Frederick said to Chrom. "Thank you, Frederick." Chrom said to Frederick. "I'm quite impressed, Chrom. You make a fine ruler. You've come a long way from tending sheep!" Robin said to Chrom.

"Ha! Have I truly changed so much?" Chrom asked Robin. "Mmm… In a way, you haven't. But you've grown as a leader, an, of course, as a father." Robin said to Chrom. "I've tried to do my best. My sister left a weighty legacy for me when she made me king. I do all I can just to live up to it." Chrom said to Robin. "You can chat about this later, we need to get ready to move." Simon said to Chrom, returning Copperajah to her Pokeball. "Right." Chrom said to everyone, as they left.

Soon everyone met up in the front of the palace, wearing their new armors. Chrom armor was upgraded to Great Lord armor. Robin armor was upgraded to Grandmaster. Simon armor was upgraded into a silver and gray Hero armor. Harper armor was upgraded into green Trickster armor. Lissa's armor was that of a war cleric, with a metal cage in the skirt.

Sully and Stahl were now in Paladin armor, with Bouffalant and Tauros wearing red and green horse armor now. Kellam was now wearing General armor. Miriel and Ricken were now wearing Sage armor. Sumia and Codelia were now wearing Falcon Knight armor. Donnel was now wearing Soldier armor.

Lon'qu was now wearing Swordmaster armor. Maribelle was now wearing Valkyrie armor, with Rapidash wearing pink horse armor. Gaius was now wearing Trickster armor. Therja was now wearing Sorcerer armor. And Gregor was now wearing tan Hero armor. Once everyone was ready to go, they all started to travel to Ferox.

When they got to Ferox, the found Flavia and her Tyrogue, which was a Hitmonchan now, Daniel who was now wearing white Assassin armor, Grace who was now wearing blue Trickster armor, Madison who was now wearing purple Sniper armor, Ethan who was now wearing black Sorcerer armor, waiting for them in the throne room.

"I apologize I could not come sooner, Flavia." Chrom said to Flavia. "What matters is you here, Chrom." Flavia said to Chrom. "Is it true Valmese warships have set sail? What can you tell us?" Chrom asked Flavia. "Not much more than that, I'm afraid. The details remain hazy. Just a moment… Oaf! Where are you, you big, bald- Chrom is here!" Flavia said, calling out for Basilio. "Yeah boss, our guess here." Daniel said to Basilio.

That's when Basilio and his Tyrogue, which was a Hitmonlee now, walked up to everyone. "Ah! Well met, boy, I knew you'd come. We have some people you should hear from. I believe you've met them? They claim to have insight into Valm's intentions. That's when Virion, who was now wearing Sniper armor, Vaike who was now wearing Warrior armor, Theo, who was now wearing red Paladin armor, Layla who was now wearing silver Sage armor, Olivia, Primarina, Hawlucha, and Lurantis walked up to them.

And with them was a woman with white skin, long pink hair, wearing Wyvern Lord armor. Next to her was a flying nasty looking dragon, with six black line wings, a blue lower body with a long tail, long blue legs with a stubby end, upper black fur body, three heads on it, with two small heads on the ends of its arms, and a larger meaner head around it's main head, and all heads had long purple fur around the heads. "Cool a Hydreigon. Those are rare to see." Simon said, before pulling out his Rotom Phone.

Hydreigon.

The Brutal Pokemon.

Dragon / Dark.

The Three Heads Take Turns Sinking Their Teeth Into The Opponent. Their Attacks Won't Slow Until Their Target Goes Down.

"Good day, lords and ladies. How fare you all? Allow me the great pleasure, and indeed honor, of introducing myself…" Virion said everyone, as Simon put his Rotom Phone away, and Chrom interrupted him. "We all know who you are, Virion. Although I don't believe we've met your companion?" Chrom asked Virion. "Yeah, who's the woman with the Hydreigon?" Simon asked Virion.

"Hmph! You know nothing! Prepare for my great unmasking! Long have I posed as archest of archers! Yet that was but a ruse! Yea, and artifice, to disguise myself as a mere above-average man. In truth, I am-" Virion said to everyone, but the woman interrupted him. "May I present Duke Virion. I am his humble servant, Cherche. Greetings, sire. You honor us with your presence." The woman said to everyone.

"Cherche! You stole my moment!" Virion said to Cherche, making Vaike laugh. "That's my wife, always one to steal the moment." Vaike said to everyone. "Wife? You got married and didn't tell or invite us? I'm hurt." Simon said to Vaike. "Can we get back on topic." Robin asked everyone.

"Right. A pleasure, Cherche. Perhaps you could speak on your master's behalf?" Chrom asked Cherche. "That may speed things along, yes…" Cherche said to Chrom. Then please. Time is of the essence." Chrom asked Cherche. "Very well, then. First, concerning our origins… we hail from Rosanne, a fertile territory on the continent of Valm. Milord is the head of House Virion, and the rightful ruler of Rosanne. A fact he often reminds us of- and loudly." Cherche said to everyone.

"Ha! Is she not a true wit? She gets it all from me, you know." Virion said to everyone. "So what brings a noble, his family, his charge and her family, and their human and Pokemon friends all the way across the long sea?" Chrom asked Virion.

"The Valmese. Theirs was an unremarkable nation once, tiny, almost pitifully so. Had our continent not shared its name, you might almost have forgotten it existed. And so Valm might have remained, if not for Walhart the Conqueror. One by one, he has taken the surrounding realms into his growing empire. I had no choice but to ru… Er, that is, to RECRUIT new allies to aid my people. That's why I've come." Virion

"You fled for your life." Chrom asked Virion. "More or less, yes. While milord hastily gathered his valuables and guided his people out to safety… Me, Vaike, Theo, Layla, and our Pokemon remained to keep an eye on the Valmese crisis. I was there as Rosanne was swallowed up by Emperor Walhart's overwhelming forces. In the end, we all, feld here to Regna Ferox seeking asylum." Cherche said to everyone.

"To my great relief, I might add! Eligible women are one of Rosanne's most precious natural resources!" Virion said to everyone. "We didn't need to know that. Now can we get back on topic." Simon said to Virion. "Right, but perhaps it is time to cut this long story short: Walhart has conquered our continent and now seeks to conquer yours." Cherche said to everyone.

"How could someone from a tiny nation conquer a whole continent in such a short time?" Simon asked everyone. "The answer is Pokemon. He found a way to control them. Not in the way we work with Pokemon, threw our bonds, threw domination and fear. Basically if they don't fight or obey, they're punished harshly. Plus there's rumors of strange Pokemon leading the forces, Pokemon I don't think are real." Layla said to Simon. "So how much longer until they get here?" Simon asked everyone.

"They claim the Valmese fleet will be at our shores in a matter of days. We'll know soon enough if their story proves true." Basilio said to everyone. "I speak only what I know for true, good people. As does my lord. At least, with respect to this matter." Cherche said to everyone. "Cherche, they just met you, and we're telling them that a war is coming. They'll need more than the word of the six of us." Theo said to Cherche.

"Well I believe you all." Chrom said to everyone. "Basilio, we must secure your ports as soon as possible." Chrom said to Basilio. "You should know that Valm has the strongest cavalry in the world. You will want station troops with experience fighting mounted troops." Virion said to everyone.

"Why, Virion, are you volunteering?" Chrom asked Virion. "Where he's volunteering or not. Sounds like we have to take care of the Valm's mounts and Pokemon first." Robin said to everyone. "First we should make sure the ports are safe." Simon said to everyone, as everyone left for the largest port in the country.

When they got to the port, they noticed a group of knights, cavalry, a couple paladins, Bug Type Pokemon with chain collars and leashes on them, had taken over the port and trashed it. They saw a civilian walking onto a ship, where a guy that looked like the leader was waiting for the civilian, while on a horse.

"You dare board our ship, worm? I will not discuss terms with a peasant, I will issue demands to all!" The leader said to the civilian. "Citizens! Soldiers! Hear my words! The Conqueror himself, Emperor Walhart, claims dominion over these lands! You will grant your new emperor your ships! You will grant him all your provender! You will grant him your loyalty and your every possession! And you will surrender this land's greatest treasure and resources, the Fire Emblem and Pokemon! Do this, and your lives will be spared. Resist, and your lives are forfeit!" the leader called out from the ship.

"Now, kneel! And swear fealty to the mighty Valmese Empire!" The leader said to the civilian. "B-but if you take all that we have, now are we to make our living? Without food and ships, people will starve! Would you have us all die?" The civilian asked the leader. "You'll do for now." The leader said, before killing the civilian, by running his spear threw the civilian. The leader then tossed the civilian's body into the water.

"These savages will never listen to reason. Everyone: prepare to engage!" Chrom said to everyone. "Milord, are you certain? Another war…" Frederick asked Chrom, but Chrom interrupted him. "I've had time to ponder Ylisse's place in the world, Frederick. And my own. We must stand against evil, in all its forms, or there can be no peace!" Chrom said to Frederick.

"And by the sounds of it. Even if we don't want to fight, they'll gladly march into our lands, take it for themselves, and everything we have. And if we resist a little, they'll kill us all. So if we don't fight, we'll all die. So fighting is our only option to protect our people." Simon said to Frederick

That's when Cherche came flying up on a large Wyvern, with Hydreigon flying beside her. "Might I join, sire? This may not be my country, but it is my cause. My dear Minerva here hungers for a bit of action as well!" Cherche said to everyone, petting her Wyvern. This gave Simon an idea. "Chrom I have an idea." Simon said to Chrom. "Is it a crazy one?" Chrom asked Simon. "Maybe. Cherche, could I get a ride?" Simon asid to Chrom, and asked Cherche.

"I don't know. Minerva doesn't like men." Cherche said to Simon. "I just need to get onto the ship's mast. If you all can get their attention, I can sneak attack their leader and kill their leader. With the leader gone the enemy forces should be easier to deal with." Simon said to everyone.

"Sounds like a good plan. Everyone, travel in groups and raise as much noise as possible. Cherche, have you and Hydreigon look like you two are attacking them with a hit and run, and while running away. Simon jumped off and hid. Once you have an opening, take it." Robin said to everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay Bewear we could use your help." Daniel said, letting out Bewaer from his Pokeball. "Milotic, we could use your beauty." Grace said, letting out Milotic from her Pokeball. "Trevenant, a little help would be nice." Harper said, letting out Trevenant from his Pokeball. "Passimian, we could use a little of your mischie." Theo said, letting Passimian out of his Pokeball, while on Silver, who now had gray armor on.

"Mr. Rime, why don't you put on a show." Layla said, letting out Mr. Rime. "Drapion, show them your ferocity." Madison said, letting out Drapion from his Pokeball. "No, show them your ferocity, Krookodile." Ethan said, letting out Krookodile from his Pokeball. "And Mawile, I could use your help with the surprise attack." Simon said, letting

They all then spit up into groups. With Simon going with Sumia, Cordelia, and Cherche, their rides and their Pokemon in the first group The second group was Robin, Virion, Miriel, Ricken, Therja, Madison, Layla, Ethan, and their Pokemon. The third group was Theo, Frederick, Sully, Stahl, Maribelle, and their Pokemon. The fourth group was Nowi, Panne, Libra, Kellam, Olivia, Grace and their Pokemon. The fifth group was Daniel, Donnel, Lon'qu, Anna, Gregor, Basilio, Flavia, and their Pokemon, and the last group was Vaike, Gaius, Chrom, Lissa, Harper, and their Pokemon.

Robin, Virion, Miriel, Ricken, Therja, Madison, Layla, Ethan, and their Pokemon were getting ready to ambush a large group of Valmese forces. "Absol use Psycho Cut." Robin said to Absol, as she got ready to cast a thunder spell. "Castform use Flamethrower." Miriel said to Castform, as she got ready to cast a fire spell. "Cofagrigus use Dark Pulse." Therja said to Cofagrigus, as she got ready to cast a dark spell. "Mr. Rime use Ice Beam." Layla said to Mr. Rime, as she got ready to cast a fire spell. "Krookodile use Scale Shot." Ethan said to Krookodile, as he got ready to cast a dark spell. Ricken then started to cast a wind spell, and Virion and Madison to fire a few arrows.

"Absol." Absol said as she fired a pink crescent blade from her horn. "Castform." Castform said, as she fired a steam of fire. "Cofagrigus." Cofagrigus said, as he fired a pulse of black rings. "Mr. Rime." Mr. Rime said, as he fired a light blue beam. "Krookodile." Krookodile said, as he whipped his tail back and forth, sending large purple glowing scales flying.

As the Pokemon fired their attacks, the humans fired theirs. All these attacks made a massive impact on the large group of Valmese forces. And while most of them were taken out by the impact of the attacks, a few of them were still standing, and charged at the group.

"Drapion use Toxic Spikes." Madison said to Drapion. "Drapion." Drapion said, as he fired purple spikes from his tail, with the spikes releasing purple smoke. The spikes laned in front of the Valmese forces, and the Valmese forces ran past the spikes. But by doing that, the Valmese forces became sick.

"Dodrio use Aerial Ace multiple times." Ricken said to Dodrio, as the Humans started to cast more spells, and arrows. "Dodrio." Dodrio said, before disappearing and reappearing behind the Valmese forces, kicking them in the back and making them fall to the ground, making it easy for everyone to hit them.

"Lurantis some Leaf Blade would be helpful." Virion said to Lurantis, as the group charged forward. "Lurantis." Lurantis said, as her arms became longer, slyth like glowing green blades. Lurants then slashed throw a few Valmese men, as the group ran past them.

With Theo, Frederick, Sully, Stahl, Maribelle, and their Pokemon, they were riding through the port, and ran into some Valmese Cavalry, making them all stop. "Rapidash use Dazzling Gleam." Maribelle said to Rapidash, as she pulled out a wind spell book. "Rapidash." Rapidash said, as she let out a blinding multi-color light. This blinded the Valmese Cavalry. This is when Maribelle fired a wind spell at a Valmese Cavalry, knocking the rider off his horse.

"Bouffalant/ Tauros use Horn Attack." Sully and Stahl said to Bouffalant and Tauros. "Bouffalant/ Tauros." they said, as their horns glowed white, and they all started to smash through the Valmese Cavalry with their horns and blades.

"Passimian use Iron Tail." Theo said to Passimian, as he locked weapons with a Valmese Cavalry. "Passimian." Passimian said, as his tail turned silver, and hit the horse of the Valmese Cavalry that was locking weapons with Theo. This made the horse and rider all to the ground, and gave Theo the opening to finish the rider.

"Luxray use Wild Charge." Frederick said to Luxray, as he fought a Valmese Cavalry. "Luxray." Luxray said, as he became encased in electricity and he rammed into multiple Valmese Cavalry.

All this action got the Valmese attraction, and some Valmese Cavalry, the Valmese Paladins charged at Daniel, Donnel, Lon'qu, Anna, Gregor, Basilio, Flavia, and their Pokemon, with a couple Heracross with them. The group stopped in front of the enemy forces.

"Mudsdale break threw them with High Horsepower." Donnel said to Mudsdale. "Mudsdale." Mudsdale said, as he charged at the Valmese forces with an orange outline. But the Heracross' hands glowed, and the Counter Mudsdale attacked, sending Mudsdale flying back to the group, causing a dust cloud to form.

"Carbink stops them with Rock Slide." Anna said to Carbink. "Carbink." Carbink said, making rocks fall from the sky around the Valmese forces. The rocks made the Valmese forces cover their heads avoiding taking major damage from the rocks.

"Bewear, finish what Mudsdale started with Giga Impact." Daniel said to Bewear. "Bewear." Bewear said, before glow white and release large amounts of energy. Bewear then charged at the Valmese forces at high speed, and crash into them like a meteor, scattering the Valmese forces

This gave everyone an opening to attack the Valmese forces. This also annoyed the Valmese Paladins, and they started to attack everyone, but everyone dodged their attacks. "Lycanroc use Accelerock." Gregor said to Lycanroc. "And Hitmonchan use Bullet Punch." Flavia said to Hitmonchan. "Lycanroc/ Hitmonchan." the two of them said, before moving at high speed, with Hitmonchan's fist glowing silver.

Lycanroc and Hitmonchan used this speed to knock the Valmese Paladins' weapons out of their hands. "Hitmonlee use Double Kick." Basilio said to Hitmonlee. "Medicham use Thunder Punch." Lon'qu said to Medicham. "Hitmonlee." Hitmonlee said, as he jumped up and kicked the Valmese Paladins, knocking the Valmese Paladins off his horse.

"Medicham." Medicham said, as his right fist became encased in eletity and he punched the Valmese Paladins, zapping him and sending the Valmese Paladins flying. With the Valmese Paladins dead, the Heracross started to fight with the group.

Once they finished the fight, the group moved on and the Heracross' left. Meanwhile, some Valmese Knights and a handful of Ariados were charging at Nowi, Panne, Libra, Kellam, Olivia, Grace and their Pokemon. "Kecleon use Double Team in front of them." Kellam said to Kecleon. "Kecleon." Kecleon said, as he made multiple copies of himself around the Valmese Knights and Ariados. This made them stop trying to hit Kecleon, with Ariados firing a flurry of needles from their horns.

But one of the Ariados was able to hit Kecleon and sent him flying back to Kellam. With Kellam down, the Double team ended and the Valmese Knights and Ariados started to charge at the group again.

"Milotic use Icy Wind." Grace said to Milotic. "Primarina help Milotic with Ice Beam." Olivia said to Primerina. "Milotic/ Primerina." They said, as Milotic fired a cold breeze at the ground, and as Primerina fired a light blue beam from her nose. The beam hit the cold breeze and it froze the ground with a sheet of ice covering it. This made all the Knight and Ariados tripped and slid on the ice.

"Druddigon use Superpower." Nowi said to Druddiogn, before turning into her dragon form. "Cinderace use Pyro Ball." Panne said to Cinderace, before turning into her beast form. "Druddigon/ Cinderace." The two of them said, before Panne and Druddigon threw crates at the Valmese Knights and Ariados, Cinderace turned stones into fireballs and kicked them at the Valmese Knights and Ariados, and Nowi fired fire breath at the Valmese Knights and Ariados.

All these attacks dealt major damage to the Valmese Knights and Ariados. Then one of the Ariados finally got off of the ice and charged at the group. "Mimikyu use Play Rough." Libra said to Mimikyu. "Mimikyu." Mimikyu said, as she charged at the Ariados. When Mimikyu reached Ariados, she made a cloud and formed the cloud, pink hearts and yellow stars shot out. When the cloud faded away, Mimikyu was standing on top of the Ariados, with the Ariados eyes being swirls.

With Vaike, Gaius, Chrom, Lissa, Harper, and their Pokemon, they've moving through the port, but stopped in front of a group of Valmese Knights, and some Masquerains with them. The Masquerain then fired streams of water at the group. "Blissey use Light Screen." Lissa said to Blissey. "Blissey." Blissey said, as she made a glass wall that blocked the water.

With the water blocked, the Valmese Knights charged at the group, having no trouble throwing the glass wall. "Thievul use Grass Knot." Gaius said to Thievul. "Thievul." Thievul said, as his eyes glowed green, and a few grasses popped out of the floor, and tied into knots. These knots made the Valmese Knights trip and fall to the ground hard.

"Trevenant use Leech Seed." Harper said to Trevenant. "Trevenant." Trevenant said, as he fired green glowing seeds at the Valmese Knights. The seeds hit the Valmese knights and green into vines, wrapping around them, trapping the Valmese Knights.

"Pyroar use Flamethrower." Chrom said to Pyroar. "Pyroar." Pyroar said, as he let out a steam of fire at the Valmese Knights. And while the vines were burned away, many of the Valmese Knights also died. But then a few Valmese Knights started to get up.

"Hawlucha use Aerial Ace." Vaike said, as they all charged at the Valmese Knights. "Hawlucha." Hawlucha said, as he disappeared and reappeared bending some Valmese knights, knocking them over, making it easy for everyone to finish the Valmese knights. The Masquerains watched this, but they didn't help the Valmese Knights, instead they left.

With Sumia, Cordelia, and Cherche, they and their Pokemon were flying to the ship, with Simon and Mawile hiding behind Cherche. "Altaria use Moonblast." Sumia said Altaria. "Talonflame use Flare Blitz." Cordelia said to Talonflame. "Hydreigon use Dragon Pulse." Cherche said to Hydreigon.

"Altaria." Altaria said, as a moon appeared above her and she drained energy from the moon. Altaria considered the energy into a sphere, and fired it at the ship, making a blinding explosion of light. "Talonflame." Talonflame said, as became encased in fire and flew around the Valmese forces, freaking them out. "Hydreigon." Hydreigon said, as he fired three streams of purple energy from his mouths, forming into one stream with a dragon head. This pulse crashed into the side of the ship, making the ship rock a little.

With the cover of the Pokemon attacks, Cherche flew to a mast, and Simon and Mawile jumped off Minerva's back and onto the mast. That's when Sumia, Cordelia, Cherche and their Pokemon flew away, with the Valmese looking at them, and not Simon and Mawile.

The leader then noticed all the fighting and was getting annoyed by it. "Release the stone bug." The leader said to his men. That's when some of the man pulled out a giant stone mantis, walking on two legs with two back stone claws for toes, black sharp stone beard and eyebrows, sharp stones around it's shoulders in a circle, and it's arms where thin and rotating, with giant stone axes on the ends of the arms.

The bug had a chain wrapped around its neck, and holding onto that chain was a man with a whip. "Have that bug take care of enemies. And if you lose it, so too will you lose your head." The leader said to the man. "No problem sir." The man said, before whipping the back of the bug. "Kleavor!" the bug said, moving, and very angry. Then the man and the bug left the ship.

That's when Simon and Mawile jumped off the mast and onto the leader's back. This surpoise the leader, and while he tried to get Simon off him, they both fell off the horse. On the floor the leader was able to break free and the three of them got ready to fight.

"A surprise attack. Not bad. But me Dalton, leader of the Valm vanguard won't fall that easily." The leader said to Simon and Mawile. "Well, as the personal Royal Guard of the King of Ylisse. I won't go down that easily as well." Simon said to Dalton. "Oh this is going to be fun." Dalton said to Simon, as some Valmese Cavalry started to move to them.

"Mawile, keep everyone away from us. This is mine and Dalton's fight." Simon said to Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said to Simon, before she started to fight the Valmese Cavalry. That's when Simon and Dalton charged at each other.

With Daniel, Donnel, Lon'qu, Anna, Gregor, and their Pokemon, they were finishing some Valmese Knights, when the man and bug walked up to them. "What is that thing?" Donnel asked everyone. "It looks like a Pokemon." Lon'qu said to everyone. "Not one I've seen while traveling around. But it kind of looks like a stony Scyther." Anna said to everyone.

"I know that Pokemon. It's from my mothers homeland. But it lived a long time ago." Daniel said to everyone. "Then what is it?" Donnel asked Daniel. "It's a Kleavor." Daniel said to everyone.

Kleavor.

The Axe Pokemon.

Rock / Bug.

A Violent That Fells Towering Trees With Its Crude Axes And Shields Itself With Hard Stone. If One Should Chance Upon This Pokemon In The Wilds, One's Only Recourse Is To Flee.

"You should take his advice and run." the man said to everyone before whipping Kleavor. "Kleavor." Kleavor said, before calming its stone axes together. Kleavor then spun around and slammed his stone axes into Lycanroc, sending Lycanroc flying into a wooden crate. "That thing got some power." Gregor said to everyone, as he ran to Lycanroc side.

"Medicham/ Hitmonlee use High Jump Kick." Lon'qu and Basilio said to Medicham and Hitmonlee. "Medicham/ Hitmonlee." They said, as they jumped into the air, and came down on Kleavor, with their right knee glowing orange. But Kleavor uses both of his stone axe to block Medicham and Hitmonlee right knees, and while in pain from slamming into the stone, Kleavor had no trouble sending Medicham and Hitmonlee flying.

"Hitmonchan use Close Combat." Flavia said to Hitmonchan. "Hitmonchan." Hitmonchan said, as he charged at Kleavor. Hitmonchan then let out a furry of rapid fire punches at Kleavor. But Kleavor used his stone axes to block most of the punches. When Hitmonchan finished punching, blue energy went down his body, but Hitmonchan jumped back to avoid getting attacked by Kleavor.

"Attack." The man said to Kleavor, before whipping him. "Kleavor." Kleavor annoyingly said before bringing down his axes, firing wind blades at Hitmonchan. The wind blades hit Hitmonchan, and sent Hitmonchan flying back a few feet.

"Carbink use Power Gem." Anna said to Carbink. "Carbink." Carbink said, as he summoned some gems and fired small beams of light from them. But Kleavor used both his axes to block the light beams. "Mudsdale use Heavy Slam. Quick. Before Carbink finishes attacking." Donnel said to Mudsdale.

"Mudsdale." Mudsdale said, as he charged at Kleavor. Then Carbink finished his attack, and Kleavor lowered his axes. Only to see Mudsdale jumping and about the land on him. When Mudsdale came down on Kleavor, it made a large dust cloud.

Daniel was able to use this battle to move around to the man's back. When the dust cleared Mudsdale was moving back to Donnel, as Kleavor layed on the ground. "Come on you stupid bug. Get up. And kill them!" The man said, whipping Kleavor. "Stop that. It's not right to treat a Pokemon like that!" Donnel said to the man, as he and the others gave the man some very mean looks.

"Like any of you can stop me while I have this bug." The man said to everyone, raising the whip. But before he could bring it down, Daniel charged at the man from behind, and ran his sword through the man's back and made it go out the man's chest. Daniel then kicked the man in the back, pulling out his sword, as the man died as he fell to the ground.

With the man dead, Daniel walked to Kleavor, as Kleavor got up. Daniel then removed the chain around Kleavor's neck. "You're free. Live as you wish." Daniel said to Kleavor. "Kleavor." Kleavor said to Daniel, saying thank you, before leaving the port.

With Simon and Dalton, they were trading blows, and forced each other back, as Mawile used her ponytail to force Valmese Cavalry riders off the ship. "You are nothing! A speck of sand under the boot of the great Empire!" Dalton said to Simon. "Nothing? I'm not nothing. I'm a guard of the royal family, and the shield of the people of Ylisse. And I won't let you or your Empire hurt my people." Simon said to Dalton.

"Like you can stop us. You're just one man." Dalton said to Simon. "With the power of a Legend." Simon said, as he glowed red and with hints of silver, and transformed into his Crowned Shield Zamazenta form.

This surprised Dalton. "No way. You're the one from the rumors. The gold armor warrior with a shield that killed the mad king." Dalton said to Simon. "I see my fame precedes me, even on the other side of the world." Simon said to Dalton. "In that case. You should join us. Your mighty shield would be the perfect weapon for Emperor Walhart." Dalton said to Simon.

"My shield is to protect my people from people like you and your Emperor. And I will fight until they're safe from the threat of your Emperor." Simon said Dalton, making Dalton mad. "Then you shall fall." Dalton said to Simon, as he charged at Simon. Simon dodged Dalton attempts to run his spear through him. And after dodging a few attacks, Simon elbowed Dalton in the gut, breaking some of his armor, and sending him sliding back a few feet.

"The might of the Valmese Empire will not be stopped." Dalton said to Simon, as he charged at Simon again. Dalton aimed his spear to go through Simon's head. But Simon used his right hand and caught the spear right before it reached his head. Simon then used his shield to break the spear, then kick Dalton, sending Dalton flying into a mast.

That's when Simon noticed Mawile finished the Valmese Cavalry. "Mawile, Iron Bash." Simon said to Mawile, as he ran to her. "Mawile." Mawile said, as her ponytail became silver and rough. Then Simon jumped into the air, with his feet facing Mawile. Mawile then hit Simons' feet, sending him flying at Dalton like a rock. That's when Simon's shield then glowed red and doubled in size.

Simon slammed his shield into Dalton, making an explosion, breaking the ship. When the dust cleared, Simon was standing on the edge of the damage, and Dalton was in the broken rubble, his armor smashed and covered in burns. "What… H-how… ahh…" Dalton said, as he died. Once Dalton was dead, Simon and Mawile left for everyone, with Simon turning back into his normal form.

"Chrom, is that all of them?" Robin asked Chrom, as everyone gathered around him. "I can answer that. Yes. I took care of the leader, and the Valmese forces have all died fighting, plus their Pokemon left. So this battle is over, we won." Simon said to Robin, as they all noticed Simon and Mawile walking to them. "But this victory comes with a price…" Chrom said to Simon.

"The town is in shambles, as is my army." Basilio said to everyone. "This is most troubling news. Eroxi soldiers are the finest east of the long sea. If they are having trouble, we are ALL in trouble." Frederick said to everyone. "In big trouble." Ethan said to everyone. "That's not the half of it. This was just the vanguard- but a taste of the meal yet to come." Flavia said to everyone.

"And once it arrives, their host will wash the whole continent in weeks. There's no way we could repel them and defend our people. It would be a slaughter." Basilio said to everyone. "Ylisse is not better equipped to handle an attack from sea…" Chrom said to everyone. "And even though we have a large amount of Water type Pokemon living in our lands, it'll take too much time to turn them into an army to stand against a well trained army." Grace said to everyone.

"Robin, what do you suggest?" Chrom asked Robin. "Hmm… Their greatest strength is their cavalry, which puts us at a disadvantage… on land. But if we were to catch them as SEA…" Robin said to everyone. "Their horses will be useless." Simon said, cracking a smile. "But how?! Ylisse has no warships, nor does Ferox." Chrom said to everyone.

"So we'd need aid from a kingdom that does…" Basilio said to everyone. "You have someplace in mind, oaf?" Flavia asked Basilio. "Perhaps a land that borders the sea, with enough wealth to afford this campaign?" Basilio asked everyone. "Oh, no." Simon said, realizing what Basilio was thinking. "Plegia!" Robin said to everyone.

"No. Absolutely not. Out of the question." Chrom said to everyone. "They have gold, boy! Countless ships! And more importantly, we have a fart's chance in the wind without them." Basilio said to Chrom. "The Oaf is right. Crude, but right. There's only one path forward." Flavia said to Chrom. "Plus the threat of Valm would come for them as well. Whether we like it or not, we're all on the same side." Ethan said to Chrom. "Chrom, will you reconsider?" Robin asked Chrom.

"Very well. Send a messenger and request a summit immediately. Let us pray this new king is more reasonable than their last." Chrom said to everyone. "Indeed." Robin said to everyone. "I don't know if reasonable is the right word. In all our time in Plegia, we never met him face to face, but he let us do whatever we wanted." Madison said to Chrom and Robin.

"You know, Robin… Simon… for your first time against Valmese forces, that was an impressive victory. You two and Chrom have all grown quite adept. You should be proud." Flavia said to everyone. "Thank you Flavia. Now we should stay here and salvage what we can while we wait for word from Plegia." Simon said to everyone, before they all started to clean up the port seeing what they would really need from Plegia.
