Hello everyone, with Scarlet and Violet out, I'll probably add the Pokemon to this story, but I will not add Terastal. And what I mean by probably, is that I may add them to the bad guy side, I have everyone's partner relativity set in stone. Now before we start. If you haven't heard by now.

My Trainer Of Vesperia story is almost over, and I'm having a vote for what story should replace it. This new story will be a Pokemon crossover, with stuff from Gen 9 mixed in it like how this one is mixed with Gen 3. The vote has already started and it will end a week after I post the very next chapter of Fire emblem. Now for the stories you can vote for.

1. The first option is something Nitro Zeus told me about. It's called Mysticons. Mysticons is a fantasy world mixed with the common things we have in our lives. The show is about a group of girls gaining an ancient power as old darkness returns to the world.

Now for a taste of the crossover. Madness burns a world to the ground, and with the help of a phantom 2 children and their Pokemon escape to Drake City, on a world where Pokemon have lived in peace with the natives inhabited for over a thousand years. But them being there will cause darkness to return, but they will also bring heroes back to this world.

2. The second one is from my friend Phantom Cross, he thought I would do another Tales game, and after thinking about it. I picked Tales Of The Abyss. A game where our heroes are caught in the middle of two groups, one trying to make things go down their path and the other trying to burn the world to break free of this path.

Now for a taste of the crossover. Meeting with a relick that is said to break the world from the score brings much more than planned. Now the world has changed, can fate be as well.

3. The last one is also from Nitro Zeus. It's called Lolirock. A gentle show where a girl finds out she is magical and is the last hope to stop a great evil. But all she wants is to be a singer, not a magical princess.

Now for a taste of the crossover. Two girls with a dream to be performers in a world that has been changed thanks to Pokemon shouldn't have to be mixed with monsters and evil magic users going after them.

4. This is the wild vote, if you all have a good idea for a Pokemon Crossover with scarlet and Violet, and if I like the idea, it will go here, and we'll see what others think. (P.S. No How to Train Your Dragon. Not that I don't want to do that. I feel like it would be better if it wasn't limited to just Gen 9, and maybe it will replace Korra when I'm done when her story is over.)

Now the rules for the vote are simple. First the votes should be a review, so others can see it, and see if they also like your idea for the Gen 9 Crossover. You can vote for at most two stories, just in case you can't pick between the two. And I will not count votes from someone whose name is just "Guest". This doesn't mean you have to have an account to vote, or that it has to be a real name. I just want us to be honest, and not have someone with only a "Guest" name vote for the story he or she wants 10 times. And one more new rule, please vote only once. And with this being the story before Vesperia, I will have the votes last until 1/26/23

And one more vote to remind you all about. As you know, you all can vote for what children chapter you want to see. And since no one voted, I picked one of my favorite kids, and in this chapter. You'll see what I mean by only doing three children chapters. So here's chapter 20.

Chapter 20

A Duel Disgraced And A Malevolent Caster

We start this chapter with Simon writing stuff in a journal by a fire, when Hannah walked up to him. "Hey dad, what are you doing?" Hannah asked Simon. "Oh, Hannah. Just adding your friend to the team's journal. Robin likes to keep it updated. And it has been a couple months since we updated it." Simon said to Hannah. "Well we have been going all over the place, finding my friends along the way." Hannah said to Simon.

"That we have." Simon said to Hannah "so, how's it going?" Hannah asked Simon. "I just finished actually." Simon said to Hannah. "Oh let me read." Hannah said to SImon, taking the book, and taking a seat next to Simon.

"Laurent, son of Frederick and Miriel, has white skin, very tall, clean hair that reached the bottom of his head, with his hair color the same as his father with a hat like his mother over his head, and wearing glasses over his brown eyes. He's a mage like his mother, and is partnered with a Glavantula. a giant yellow and blue spider, with four big legs, two blue eyes, four blue dots on its head in a square shape between its eyes, a hairy thorax, and two hairy yellow palps attached to its mouth. Oh, and here's his Pokebex entry." Hannah said, reading the book.

Galvantula.

The EleSpider Pokemon.

Bug / Electric.

When Attacked, They Create An Electric Barrier By Splitting Out Many Electrically Charged Threads.

"Next is Yarne, son of Kecleon and Panne. He looks like a messier male boston of his mother, and has her powers, but not his father's stealth. His partner is a Diggersby. A giant round rabbit, with patches of brown fur around his mouth, neck, belly, legs, and on the end of his massive arm ears, with three claws at the end of the arm ears. And here's Diggersby's Pokedex entry." Hannah said, reading the book

Diggersby.

The Digging Pokemon.

Normal / Ground.

With Power Equal To An Excavator, It Can Dig Through Dense Bedrock. It's A Huge Help During Tunnel Construction.

"Next is Severa, daughter of Cordelia and Lon'qu, she has the same skin and eyes has her mother, but her father's hair color, with her hair being two long ponytails. But she's taken the mercenary way, instead of the way of the sword like her father. Her personality worries me. And her having a Liepard doesn't help. Liepard is a large purple cat with yellow spots, yellow fur on her lower legs, belly, and neck, pick mask like fur around her eyes, and a curved tail. And her Pokebex helps prove my uneasiness around her." Hannah said, reading the book.

Liepard.

The Cruel Pokemon.

Dark.

Don't Be Fooled By Its Gorgeous Fur And Elegant Figure. This Is A Moody And Vicious Pokemon.

"Next is Nah, Daughter of Nowi and Gregor, has her mother's eyes and skin, pulse her mother's height, she had the same color hair as her father, but it was in a bowl haircut with two small ponytails on the side of her head, she wears a white dress, some red boots that covered her legs, and a red cap. She had the same powers as her mother and her Pokemon is Flygon. Flygon is a light green dragon with a long tail that ends with three dimon shades tips, long feet, small hands with three white claws, diamond shaped wings, two very long horns, and red spheres over his eyes. And here's his Pokebex entry" Hannah said, reading the book.

Flygon.

The Mystic Pokemon.

Ground / Dragon.

It Whips Up Sandstorms With Powerful Flaps Of Its WIngs. It Is Known As The Desert Spirit.

"Lastly, Noire. Daughter of Libra and Therja, with the same skin and eyes as her mother, with long hair with the same color as her father, unlike her parents, she went the way of bow and arrows. But she's a rather timid archer. That is until she drinks some of her partner Polteagest's tea. Polteagest is a small Pokemon, who is basically a living purple liquid that lives in a broken tea Cup. And I don't know how she can possibly drink that tea. Her Pokebex explains why." Hannah said, reading the book.

Polteageist.

The Black Tea Pokemon.

Ghost.

When Angrede, It Launches Tea From Its Body At The Offender's Mouth. The Tea Causes Strong Chills If Swallowed.

"Hey dad. I noticed this did have our adventure in it." Hannah said to Simon. "This is a personal journal. Not a history book. Plus our adventure getting your friends was more or less us showing up and taking the enemy down quickly, pulse a moment where parent and child fought together. There isn't much need to write down those short battles." Simon said to Hannah.

"You have a point, we easily cut through those bad guys. The battle lasted less than an hour. It would be pretty boring writing about those adventures." Hannah said to Simon.

"Glad you understand. Now go to bed young lady. We're going to start heading to the Port in the morning. The war ships are ready, and it's going to be a two day walk. So get some rest. Chanced Chrom is going to make us walk threw the night to reach the ships the next day, instead of letting us rest for a night." Simon said to Hannah, rubbing Hannah's head, and walking to a tent. "I guess Lucina guessed that from her old man." Hannah said, before going to her tent, taking the book with her.

And as Simon guessed, Chrom made everyone walk through the day and into the night. While walking they saw two women and Pokemon standing against a man in red Sorcerer robes, with another woman in normal clothes behind the women.

One woman was one with white skin, an average build, brown hair that reached down to her neck, red eyes, and wearing purple knight armor.

The other woman has a slim body, copper skin, amber eyes, black hair that is long on the left side of her head, and saved on the right side of her head. She was wearing red Sage

The Pokemon next to the armor woman was a giant hairy dog, with brown fur around its head, blue back fur, a lump of grey fur around his legs, and a patch of tan fur around his face that looked like a mustache that stretches to its back.

The Pokemon by woman in the red robes, was a tall creature with a curvy body, the lower half being white, the middle part being pink, the upper part being blue, in the upper part of the body, was a head and some tiny arms, on the head was big black eyes, and three pink marks above the eyes, on top of the body was a blue witch hat, and attached to the tip of the witch hat was a long and thick blue fabric string with the end being a pink ord and blue orb after that, with three fingers on the blue orb.

"Dishonorable cur! You killed our master, and now you will face us!" The armor woman said to the man. "Kjelle right. You will burn in fear for what you did to him." The woman in the red robes said to the man. "Maybe tune it down a bit Sophia." Kjelle said to the woman in red robes. "After what Cassius did. No way." Sophia said to Kjelle, pointing to the man. "Stoutland/Hatterene." The Pokemon said, agreeing with Sophia.

"If that pile of pudding was your master, I'd advise you to just keep walking." Cassius said to Kjelle and Sophia. "Craven dog… You claimed a hostage! He'd never have lost in a fair fight!" Kjelle said to Cassius. "Yeah. I may use tricks to fight as well, but I never stoop so low as to use someone as a human shield." Sophia said to Cassius

"Now would he have wanted this, Kjelle and Sophia. If I lose you two as well, I…" The woman said to them. "You won't lose us. I swear it. And I swear your husband will be avenged!" Kjelle said to the woman. "Yeah, we can easily take care of this fool." Sophia said to the woman. "If you two want to run headlong into the grave, girls, I won't stop you two. We can duel in the ruins ahead. " Cassius said to the girls, leading them and their Pokemon to some nearby ruins.

Chrom, Simon, Robin, and Hannah saw all this. "What do you make of this, Chrom?" Robin asked Chrom. "I hope they know what they're getting into." Chrom said to everyone. "Given that those were Kjelle and Sophia. Probably not." Hannah said to everyone.

"You know them?" Simon asked Hannah. "Kjelle, daughter of Sully and Stahl. Sophia, daughter of Layla and Theo. they're Pokemon are Stoutland and Hatterene. "Stoutland and Hatterene?" Robin asked Hannah. "Here." Simon said, pulling out his Rotom Phone.

Stoutland.

The Big-Hearted Pokemon.

Normal.

These Pokemon Seem To Enjoy Living With Humans. Even A Stoutland Caught In The Wild Will Warm Up To People In About Three Days.

Hatterene.

The Silent Pokemon.

Psychic/ Fairy.

Beware Of Forests That Show No Signs Of Living Creatures Within. You May Have Wandered Into Hatterene's Territory.

That's when the woman ran up to everyone, as Simon put his Rotom Phone away. "Sir! Please! You have to do something!" The woman said to Chrom. "What's the matter?" Chrom asked the woman.

"It's my friends, sir. I fear they're walking into a terrible trap! That scoundrel Cassius would never fight an honest duel. My husband took a similar stand against his tyranny not long ago. The brute took a girl hostage and then cut my husband down as he lowered his weapon! I can't let them suffer the same fate… I'd die, I would." The woman said to Chrom, on the edge of bursting out in tears. "All right. We'll see what we can do." Chrom said to the woman, as they went after Kjelle, Sophia, Stoutland, and Hatterene.

And the woman was right. Once Cassius led Kjelle, Sophia, Stoutland, and Hatterene deep into the ruins, the doors closed, and were lucked, that's when a few archers came out of the shadows.

"Coward! You promised us a duel, you soulless blackheart!" Kjelle said to Cassius. "Indeed I did. Consider all these men my seconds, heh. Still, I'm not a monster. I'll spare your life if you get on your knees and beg." Cassius said to Kjelle. "I'd sooner die!" Kjelle said to Cassius. "Well, we can arrange that, too. Have at her, boys!" Cassius said to his men.

"Like I didn't see this coming." Sophia said, as she started to glow black. When she stopped glowing black, Sophia was in black ropes with a hood, wearing a black bird mask, and two caps that looked like black wings, with the dark red flames on the ends of the wings. And in her hands was a black spell book that had a flame symbol on it.

"Now Hatterene, be a dear and use Dazzling Gleam." Sophia said to Hatterene. "Hat." Hatterene said, as she let out multi-color lights. This blinded a few of the archers. That's when Sophia opened her book, and it looked like the book was on fire with dark red flames. Sophia then started to wave her hands, making fireballs form from the flames in the book. Sophia then fired the fireball at a few of the archers, and once it hit the archers, the archer screamed in fear, as they burned to death.

"Always, so brutal?" Kjelle asked Sophia. "What do you expect from a girl with Galarian Moltres powers. Flames that heal, and not flames that burn away their spirits?" Sophia asked Kjelle. "Maybe I'll show you how an honor fight gose." Kjelle said to Sophia.

"Stoutland use Play Rough." Kjelle said to Stoutland. "Stoutland." Stoutland said, charging at one of the archers. Once Stoutland reached the archer, he let out a cloud, around him and the archer, when pink hearts and yellow stars came out of the cloud. Then the archer was sent flying to Kjelle and crashed into Kjelle's shield. That's when Kjelle used her spear to finish the archer.

Meanwhile outside, they noticed the place was swarming with thugs. "Looks like they found themselves surrounded by thugs, again." Hannah said to everyone. "Again? This happened before?" Robin asked Hannah. "A few times actually. But that's what you get for having Theo and Sully for parents." Hannah said to Robin.

"We can talk more about them, after we save them. Mawile come on out." Simon said to everyone, letting out Mawile. "Greedent, you as well." Daniel said, letting out Greedent. "Whimsicott we could use your help too." Harper said, letting out Whimsicott. "Falinks, front and center." Theo said, letting out Falinks.

"Scrafty, you're with us." Ethan said, letting out Scrafty. "Salazzle, I could use your skills in here." Madison said, letting out Salazzle. "Orbeetle we could use your sight while in this place." Layla said, letting out Orbeetle. "I guess I'll go with Gastrodon." Grace said, letting out Gastrodon. That's when everyone ran into the ruins.

As they ran in, they noticed a lot of Cassius men standing guard. "Gastrodon use Surf to scatter them." Grace said to Gastrodon. "Kingler, ride Gastrodon and use Liquidation." Connor said to Kingler. "And Dubwool helped them with Bounce." Daniel said to Dubwool.

"Gastrodon/Kingler/Dubwool." The three of them said, as Kingler jumped onto Gastrodon, and a water blade popped out of his big claw. Then Gastrodon started to make a giant wave, with him riding it, and Kingler on him. All with Dubwool jumping over the wave. Then all three of them came crashing down on Cassius' men, hurting them, and scattering them.

This gave everyone a chance to strike Cassius' men. "Whimsicott use Grassy Terrain and Grassy Glide." Harper said to Whimsicott, as she took out a Fighter. "Whimsicott." Whimsicott said, as she let out a green pulse, covering the floor in grass, and moved around at high speed, knocking down any of Cassius' men that tried to get up.

"Come on Dad, we can't let Mom have all the glory. Let's try that combo." Hannah said to Simon, as she cut down a few of Cassius' men. "Mawile." Mawile said, not liking the idea. "Too bad Mawile. We're doing this." Simon said to Mawile, as he rammed his axe into one of Cassius' men.

"Rillaboom grabbed Mawile, and use Darkest Lariat." Hannah said to Rillaboom. "Mawile use Iron head." Simon said to Mawile. "Rillaboom." Rillaboom said, grabbing Mawile. "Mawile." Mawile said, not liking this, but made her head turn silver and rough. Then Rillaboom started to spin around like a tornado, and with Mawile in his head, Rillaboom started to bash many of Cassius' men.

Then a few more of Cassius' men came charging at them. "Pyroar use Flamethrower." Chrom said to Pyroar, as he took care of one of Cassius' men. "And Incineroar use Heat Wave." Lucina said to Incineroar, as she took care of one of Cassius' men. "Pyroar/Incineroar." They said, as Pyroar let out a steam of fire from his mouth, and Incineroar let out a burst of very hot wind from his belt.

This caused Cassius' men to stop and try to withstand the fire coming from Pyroar and Incineroar. "Absol, help me finish them with Psycho Cut." Robin said to Absol, as she charged up a thunder spell. "Let us help too Mother. Greninja use Water Shuriken." Morgan said to Robin and Greninja, as he charged up a thunder spell.

"Absol/Greninja." The two of them said, as Absol fired a pick crescent blade from her horn, and Greninja threw water shape throwing stars, all that the same time Robin and Morgan fired a thunder spell. All the attacks hit Cassius' men, taking them down.

"Talonflame use Aerial Ace." Cordelia said, as she dogged arrows from an archer. "Talonflame." Talonflame said, disappearing and reappearing behind the archer, knocking the archer forward, giving Cordelia an opening to strike and finish the archer.

"Liepard, use my favorite move, Pay Day." Severa said to Liepard, as she locked weapons with one of Cassius' men. "Liepard." Liepard said, firing a lot of gold coins at the man Severa was fighting. The coins hit the man, and made the man flinch and back away. Giving Severa an opening to kill him.

Once the man was dead, Severa started to gather the coins, not noticing another one of Cassius' men charging at her. "Medicham use Psychic." Lon'qu said, as he moved up, and locked weapons with the man charging at his daughter. "Medicham!" Medicham said, as his eye glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on the coin. The coins were then sent flying into the man Lon'qu was fighting, and once again, making the man flinch and back away. Giving Lon'qu an opening to kill the man.

"Did I fail to teach you to focus on the battle?" Lon'qu asked Severa. "I was just collecting my coins." Severa said to Lon'qu. "It seems I must drill you on battlefield etiquette." Lon'qu said to Severa. "No, not that again." Severa said to Lon'qu.

"Kecleon use Double Team." Kellam said to Kecleon. "Kecleon." Kecleon said, as he made multiple copies, and had them run around a few of Cassius' men. "Diggersby I think I know what Dad's placing. So use Rock Tomb." Yarne said to Diggersby. "Diggersby." Digersby said, slamming his ears into the ground, causing large rocks to pop out of the ground, and trapped Cassius' men.

"Not bad kid. Now run wild with me. Cinderace, care to help us with Bounce?" Panne said to Yarne and asked Cinderace, before she and Yarne turned into their beast forms and attacked the trapped men. "Cinderace." Cinderace said, jumping up, and then coming down, foot first, on one of Cassius' men.

"Flygon use Dragon Claw." Nah said to Flygon, before she transformed into her dragon form. "We'll help too Nah. Druddigon use Dragon Claw." Nowi said to Nah and Druddigon, as she turned into her dragon form. "Flygon/Druddigon." they said, as their claws became encased in teal energy. Then Nowi and Nah fired a burst of fire at a few Cassius' men, making a few of them jump out of the way. But those who did, got slashed by Flygon and Druddigon's claws.

This made Gregor laugh. "Those are my girls. Lycanroc, let's help with Accelerock." Gregor said to Lycanroc, as he charged at a few of Cassius' men. "Lycanroc." Lycanroc said, following Gregor at high speed.

"Luxray use Iron Tail." Frederick said to Luxray, as he ran his spear through one of Cassius' men. "Luxray." Luxray said, as his tail turned silver. He swung his tail at one of Cassius' men, hitting the man, and sending the man flying into another one of Cassius' men.

"Galvantula use Electroweb to trap them." Laurent said to Galvantula. "Galvantula." Galvantula said, as he fired a bolt of electricity that looked like a spider web, trapping the two men that Luxray made crash into each other.

"Laurent care to help me?" Miriel asked Laurent. "Of course Mother." Laurent said to Miriel, as they started to cast a fire spell. "Castform care to help us with Flamethrower." Miriel said to Castfom. "Castform." Castform said, as she fired a steam of fire, at the same time, Laurent and Miriel fired their fire spell. All the fire hit men Galvantula had trapped, and finished them.

With Libra, one of Cassius' men, was wailing his weapon at Libra, with Libra blocking the attacks with his axe. "Polteagest help father with Strength Sap." Noire said to Polteagest. "Polteagest." Polteagest said, as she moved behind the man, and jabbed her pots nose into the man's back, quickly draining energy from the man, before running away.

This made the man attack slower. "Mimikyu use Shadow Sneak." Libra asid to Mimikyu. "Mimikyu." Mimikyu said, as she sank into darkness. Mimkikyu then popped out of the darkness behind the man, and stuck the man's legs, making fall a little. This gave Noire an opening to fire an arrow at the man, hitting the man in the shoulder, making him fall back even more.

"Cofagrigus use Body Press." Therja said to Cofagrigus, as she charged up a dark spell. "Cofagrigus." Corfagrigus said, jumping into the air, and coming down on the man, pinning him to the floor. Then Corfagrigus jumped off the man, as Therja cased her spell, finishing the man.

"Falinks use Smart Strike." Theo said to Falinks, as he swung his spear against the shield of one of Cassius' men. "Falinks." Falinks said, moving around Cassius' man, and finding a weak spot. Then Falinks formed a triangle shape, and rammed into the man's side, finishing him.

"Orbeetle use Psychic." Laya said, as she tried to hit one of Cassius' men that was running around dodging her spells. "Orbeetle." Orbeetle said, as his eyes glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on the man. Then when the man stopped moving, Layla then got a clean shot on the man.

"Salazzle use Poison Gas." Madison said to Salazzle. "Salazzle." Salazzle said, as she let out a purple cloud. The cloud hit a few of Cassius' men, making them cough. While coughing, Madison fired arrows at them, and with the men feeling sick, it was easy for Madison's arrows to hit them.

"Scrafty use High Jump Kick." Ethan said to Scarfty, as he and one of Cassius' men, fired dark magic at each other. "Scrafty." Scrafty said, jumping into the air, and came down with his right knee glowing. Scrafty then crashed down on the man, dealing major damage, and making the man stop casting. That's when Scrafty jumped back and let Ethan get a clear shot on the man, and took it, killing the man.

"Bouffalant use Giga Impact." Sully said to Bouffalant. "Tauros use Double-Edge." Stahl said to Tauros. "Bouffalant/ Tauros." They said, as Bouffalant let out a large amount of white energy, and as Tauros glowed white. That's when they started to charge a few of Cassius' men.

"Dodrio, follow their lead with Fury Attack." Ricken said to Dorio. "And Rapidash use Megahorn." Maribelle said to Rapidash. "Dorio/Rapidash." The two of them said, as they charged into Cassius' men, with Dorio pecking things in a furry, and Rapidash's horn glowed green and became longer.

"Hydreigon use Dark Pulse." Cherche said to Hydreigon, as she battled a few of Cassius' men. "Hydreigon." Hydreigon said, as he fired three pusles of black rings from his mouths. But one of Cassius' men blocked Hydreigon attack with a shield.

"Hawlucha, help Hydreigon out with Flying Press." Vaike said to Hawlucha, as he took out one of Cassius' men. "Hawlucha." Hawklucha said, jumping into the air, and came down on the man blocking Hydreigon attack.

"Lurantis, trap those thugs with Petal Blizzard." Virion said to Lurantis, as he took out a few of Cassius' men with his arrows. "Lurantis." Lurantis said, letting out a flurry of petals. The petals circled around a few of Cassius' men, trapping them.

"Primarina use Sparkling Aria." Olivia said to Priarina, as she danced around one of Cassius' men, before taking him out. "Primarina." Primarina said, as she made water balls form from her nose. The water balls then went over the petal trap Lurantis made, and burst in it, causing Cassius' men to crash into petals, finishing them.

With Donnel and Mudsdale, a couple of Cassius' men sneaked up behind Mudsdale and slammed their weapons into Mudsdale behind. Luckily all they did was cause pain for Mudsdale, they didn't break the skin. But it still hurt.

"Mudsdale use Double Kick." Donnel said to Mudsdale. "Mudsdale." Mudsdale said, kicking his back legs into the two behind him, and sending them flying into a wall, killing them. "Are you okay pale?" Donnel asked Mudsdale.

"Blissey use Heal Pulse on Mudsdale." Lissa said to Blissey. "Blissey." Blissey said, as she let out a little gentle pink pulse, making Mudsdale pain go away. "Hey Blissey and Lissa." Donnel said to them. "What are wifes for?" Lissa said to Donnel, as one of Cassius' men came charging up to them. But Lissa easily chopped the man down with her axe.

"Carbink use Dazzling Gleam." Anna said to Carbink. "Carbink." Carbink said, letting out a multi-color blinding light. This light gave Anna cover, as she slashed through a few of Cassius' men.

"Honchkrow would you be so kind and use Thief on his guy." Henry said to Honchkrow, as he dodged one of Cassius' men spears. "Honchkrow." Honchkrow said, as he flew down, slapped the man with his wing, and then stole the man's spear. With the spear gone, Henry had no worry, and cast a dark spell, killing the man.

With Gaius, he was picking the lock to the door Kjelle, Sophia, Stoutland, and Hatterene were locked behind. That's when a few of Cassius' men came charging at him. "Thievul use Grass Knot." Gaius said to "Thievul." Thievul said, as he made grass pop out of the ground, and they tied them together. This case Cassius' men trip and fall to the floor. "Thank you." Gaius said to Thievul.

"Altaria use Dragon Pulse to clean up this mess." Sumia said to Altaria. "Altaria." Altaria said, as she let out a pulse of purple energy with a dragon head. The dragon head slithered around the floor, sending Cassius' men that Thievul tripped flying.

That's when Gaius opened the door, letting everyone run in, with Chrom running right up to Kjelle and Sophia. "Excuse me-." Chrom said to them, but this startled Kjelle. "Wha-?! Die, fiend!" Kjelle said, attacking Chrom. But Chrom blocked her attack.

"Y-you parried my spear. How did you do that?" Kjelle asked Chrom. "I get a lot of practice. Now can you please stop trying to skewer me for a second? We're not your enemies. A friend sent us to help you. There are too many for you to fight, with just your friend and Poekmon alone, no matter your skill. We took care of the rabble. Now it's up to you two to fight against your enemy." Chrom said to Kjelle.

"You would do that for a stranger?" Kjelle asked Chrom. "Is that a problem?" Chrom said to Kjelle. "N-no, of course not. Thank you." Kjelle said to Chrom, before going to fight Cassius. "Yeah, thanks." Sophia said to Chrom, before she, Stoutland, and Hatterene

Soon Kjelle, Sophia, Stoutland, and Hatterene reached Cassius. "If you believe in any gods, You'd better pray to them now!" Kjelle said to Cassius. "My, my. Aren't we confident?" Cassius asked Kjelle. "I don't fear you, coward!" Kjelle said to Cassius.

"Aye, I suppose not. Most fools assume that liars and sneaks like me are weak. They want us to be weak, see? They NEED it. It lets them hold on to the fantasy that right prevails in the end. Heh… They can think what they want. A cocky fool is an easy target. Truth is in the end, it's the clever ones who always survive." Cassius said to Kjelle.

"A man who takes hostages in order to win a duel has no claim to cleverness. Even an animal would not stoop so low! But enough. I've no more words to waste on the likes of you. Our master will have vengeance!" Kjelle said to Cassius. "Yeah, enough talk. Let's put him in the ground and burn him, in the flames he deserves." Sophia said to everyone. "Wong, girls. Your master will have COMPANY!" Cassius said to them, making purple flames burst out from under them.

But that's when Sully jumped off Bouffalant and Layla lugged, and pushed Kjelle and Sophia out of the way of the fire. "Mind if we help?" Layla asked the girls. "Yeah, he may be your opponent. But we'll make sure he doesn't try anything sneaky." Sully said to the girls.

"Thanks. Now Hatterene use Dazzling Gleam." Sophia said to Hatterene. "Hatt." Hatterene said, as she let out a blinding multi-color light, blinding Cassius, and making Cassius use his book to block the light.

"Stoutland use Dig." Kjelle said to Stoutland, as she charged at Cassius. "Stout." Stoutland said, as he started to dig. That's when the light died down, and Cassius noticed Kjelle was getting close to him.

Cassius then started to dodge Kjelle attacks. While dodging Kjelle's attacks, Cassius started to cast a spell. "Hatterene use Psychic." Sophia said to Hatterene, as she cast a spell and fired it at Cassius.

"Hatterene." Hatterene said, as her eyes glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Kjelle, moving her out of the way, of the flames that were about to burst out from under her. And with Kjelle out of the way, Cassius noticed the fire heading towards him. And while he dodged most of the fire, some of it burned his robes.

As Cassius' ripped off part of his robes, Stoutland popped out of the ground, bit into Cassius' leg, shocked him around, and tossed him. After crash landing, Cassius noticed a pillar holding up part of the ceiling above Sully, Layla, Kjelle, Sophia, and their Pokemon, and had a wicked idea.

That's when Cassius fired a dark fire spell, destroying a pillar, and making part of the ceiling fall down on them "Orbeetle/Hatterene use Psychic." Layla and Sophia said to Orbeetle and Hatterene. "Orbeetle/Hatterene." Orbeetle and Hatterene said, as they're eyes glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on the rubble. Orbeetle and Hatterene then moved the rubble away from them all and put the rubble down.

"Man, how many dirty tricks does this guy have?" Sully asked everyone. "Most people think a man who fights dirty is too weak to win otherwise. Heh heh… Suits me just fine. A cocky fool is an easy target!" Cassius said to Sully. "We'll see about that. Bouffalant use Giga Impact." Sully said to Bouffalant. "Stoutland you use Giga Impact too." Kjelle said to Stoutland.

"Bouffalant/Stoutland." Bouffalant and Stoutland said, as they let out a large amount of white energy, and charged at Cassius. Surprised by the power they had, Cassius jumped out of the way, dodging that attack.

"Hatterene use Dazzling Gleam." Sophia said to Hatterene. "Hatterene." Hatterene said, letting out a blinding multi-color light, blinding Cassius, and making Cassius use his book to block the light again.

"Now Orbeetle take his book away with Psychic." Layla said to Orbeetle. "Orbeetle." Orbeetle said, as his eyes glowed pink, as a pink outline appeared on Cassius' book. Then Cassius' book flew out of his hands, and that's when Layla fired a fire spell at it, turning the book into ash.

Cassius then started to panic. "It's not so fun when you don't have any more dirty tricks is it?" Sophia asked Cassius, before opening her book, and firing the dark red flames from it. The flames hit Cassius, making Cassius scream in fear, as he tried to brush off the flames.

While panicking even more, Kjelle charged at him, and rammed her spear through him. "Th-this… can't…" Cassius said, as he died. "Your low tactics finally caught up to you Cassius. Now your vitamins will find peace, and may you never know it." Sophia said the now dead Cassius.

After that everyone cleaned up any stragglers of Cassius, the woman ran up to everyone. "Kjelle! Sophia! Thank the gods you're safe!" The woman said to them. "We kept our promise. Your husband can rest in peace now." Kjelle said to the woman. "I may have a way to thank you. This was his, And I'm sure he would have wanted you to have it." The woman said to Kjelle, holding out a necklace.

"This is a precious keepsake. It's rightful place is with you." Kjelle said to the woman. "Yeah, we're happy to bring his killer to justice." Sophia said to the woman. "I'll not forget my husband for lack of a memento, dear. Now please, take it." The woman said to Kjelle and Sophia. "You're certain?" Kjelle asked the woman. "Absolutely." The woman said to Kjelle.

"Then… thank you." Kjelle said to the woman. "We'll treat it with respect." Sophia said to Kjelle. "Just swear to take care of yourself, Kjelle and Sophia. Swear you'll stay safe." The woman said to them. "We swear it." Kjelle and Sophia said to the woman. The woman then started to leave, and Layla and Sully walked up to them.

"Looks like the good guys won after all. Ain't that a kick in the teeth?" Sully asked everyone. "Or a spear through the chest as the case may be." Theo said to everyone. "Thank you for your help, but I fear other tasks still lie ahead of us. We still have to find our parents." Kjelle said to Layla and Sully.

"Aw hell. Your parents are missing? That's rough, kid. Any idea where they might have gone?" Sully asked Kjelle and Sophia. "We have a ring our fathers gave to our mothers, but precious little else to go on." Kjelle said to Sully. "Mind if I take a look?" Sully asked Kjelle and Sophia. "No, of course not." Kjelle said to Sully. "Knock yourself out." Sophia said, as she and Kjelle gave their rings to Sully.

"Well I'll be damned. Look at this Layla." Sully said to Layla, holding the rings to her. "Well… that's fascinating." Layla said to Sully. "Kids. these are OUR rings." Sully said to Kjelle and Sophia. "Your rings? But then…" Kjelle said to them. "Are you our mothers?" Sophia asked them.

"Hah! I get it. You're one of the kids who came back with Lucina and Hannah, yeah? Which means… I've got a new lead for you on the parent font, kiddos. We're your moms." Sully said to Kjelle and Sophia. "Y-you?!" Kjelle said to Sully. "You expecting someone prettier?" Sully asked Kjelle. "N-no! Of course not! I mean… You look as beautiful now as when I knew you." Kjelle said to Sully.

"Har! So I'm not all wrinkled or missing or a hand or anything? That's a relief." Sully said to Kjelle. "Well I won't say that. Your face is covered in battle scars." Sophia said to Sully. "Well, I can see that happening." Sully said to everyone. "But dispute that. You were a beautiful and vibrant woman, despite the ill times we lived in. You taught me how to be strong. You taught me to survive." Kjelle said to Sully.

"And you mom. You give people comfort, people sleep easily with your words of dreams, and you using Hypnosis on them. A little a thing or two about being open minded from you." Sophia said to Layla.

That's when Simon walked up to everyone. "Everyone, we're camping her for the night. Find a spot, and get some sleep. We leave at first light." Simon said to everyone, before walking away. "All right, kids, sit down. I want to know every last detail about the future." Sully said to Kjelle and Sophia, as she sat down. "Yes, tell us of what joy we shared." Layla said to Kjelle and Sophia, as she sat down.

"You bet!" Kjelle said to Sully and Layla, as she sat down. "Is that how you address your mother?" Sully asked Kjelle. "I mean, y-yes! Yes, Ma'am!" Kjelle said to Sully. "Much better." Sully said. "Now that's the Sully I remember." Layla said, as she sat down, after patting Kjelle's back. "Hee hee. You always were tough on me." Kjelle said to Sully.

"That's right. Any child of mine is gonna have to learn to respect their elders!" Sully said to everyone. "Maybe you two should start telling us about the future, with all the hard times Sully gives you two." Layla said to Kjelle and Sophia. "Gladly." Kjelle and Sophia said to Layla.
