(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - New Champion)
Renne and Geeta came out from the Pokemon League building
"Hey, Renne! How did it go! We heard many fights from the Rooftop." Florian said
"Wait, wait! Don't tell me! You did it! You did it right?!" Nemona cheered
"My goodness Nemona, reel in that passion. But you are correct." Renne wink.
"Allow me to present Champion Renne." Geeta smiled.
"Yeaaaaaaah! I knew you can do it Renne! Now me, you and Florian are all equals! Now I can finally begin the question!"
"Let me guess. It had something to do with being your rivals?" Renne asked
"Yeah! Will you guys be my best rivals for life?!" Nemona eye sparkling.
"Ahaha! Yeah!" Florian answered. "Let's be rivals for life, Nemona!"
"Well..." Renne close her eyes as she fold her arm but then she shrug. "Oh what the heck. Let's be Rivals for life, Nemona."
"YEEESSS! TOMA YA!" Nemona cheered which Renne already cover her ears. "All right! You know what Rivals do? Battle their absolute hearts out! I'm gonna hit one of you with EVERYTHING this time! You ready?!"
"Nemona for goodness sake." Renne sighed. "I just passed the Champion Assessment. I need some time to rest. I'm sure Florian also needs one as well, despite how long it took."
"Yeah. Despite all that, I'm exhausted." Florian sighed.
"Champion Renne is right, Champion Nemona. She along with Venusaur and the others need time to rest. Champions must be understanding toward their opponents." Geeta told her.
"Urk. Right..." Nemona frowned. "There I go again with the overexcitment! Sorry you guys."
"I also must ask—is this roadside really the setting you three for your first battle as true equals and rivals?"
Nemona hummed. "Now that you mention it, that's a good point. In that case, can we use one of the Pokemon Leagues battle courts?"
"Surely there's somewhere more fitting. A place with special meaning for the three of you, perhaps."
"Oh!" Renne palm fist. "Like Mesagoza."
"Oh right! Good call Renne! The place where we set out on our journey! That reminds me. Do you two remember back when Director Clavell explained the Treasure Hunt? Y'know how he told us to go in our search of our own treasure?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Florian asked
"Well, I know what treasure I got out of all this: I found some true rivals—someones who can stand up to me at my full capabilities."
"Let me guess, us?" Florian asked with a smile.
"Yep! I'm so glad I got to meet the two of you!" Nemona smiled and turn around. "Anyway, with that said. I'll be waiting for you guys at the battle court in Mesagoza's central plaza! See ya there!"
"And there she goes." Renne sighed but smile.
"The respect you three share is palpable. Even a bit, enviable, to be honest." Geeta chuckled.
"Does it now?"
"Indeed. I am known as La Primera— but even when facing me in the final test of her Champion Assessment, Champion Nemona didn't reveal her full might. In you two, I suspect she has found someone she can battle without holding anything back."
"Right." Florian nodded. "With that. Let's go Renne."
"Yeah. I need to heal my Pokemon while we're at it." Renne said as she head to the Pokemon Center to heal and then came back. "Welp. Time to take off."
"Yeah. Cya La Primera." Florian waved goodbye.
"Until then, Champion Florian, Champion Renne." Geeta waved goodbye and then headed to the Pokemon League building.
(BGM ended)
"All right." Renne took out her ARCUS Alpha and look at the night sky. "It's time for you know who."
"Yeah. You really think Nemona will be waiting for us at the plaza?" Florian asked
"Knowing her, yes. But at this time, let's hope she isn't there. We still got some things to take care off."
"Yeah. Since it's that time. Let's go to the courtyard in the academy." Florian agreed and they take off.
They begin to walk their way to the Academy and eventually arrived at the Schoolyard.
"Okay, here we are." Florian said. "You think they'll be here?"
"Yeah, I'm sure they'll be here." Renne nodded. "And... this will be over soon."
"Yeah. So who is the Big Boss you had a good idea, on?"
"Call it a hunch but..." Renne paused and turn to her left. "It appears you arrived."
Then the figured approached Florian and Renne from the schoolyard entrance.
"Florian, Renne." Cassiopeia greeted. "Thanks for coming."
"You're Cassiopeia?" Florian asked
Renne folds her arm. "So it's you after all... Penny."
An ?! appeared over Florian's head as his eye widen. Cassiopeia pulls down her hood, revealing to be Penny indeed.
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Cassiopeia's Theme)
"So you knew it was me all along. To be honest, I'm surprised." Penny let out a smirk. "How did you figure it out?"
"You basically reveal yourself." Renne answered
"Oh?"
"At first, you don't appear to be connected back then and we meet again the second time. I recalled that "Cassiopeia" is a skill hacker. And you, yourself are also a hacker. At first, I began to think it was a coincidence. But... There was one thing you failed to realize. When you told us when we defeated the Segin Squad, you told us that Team Star were actually victims of bullying, where they band together. So the question is... how did "Cassiopeia" know that you told us that Team Star were the victims of bullying? They never once mentioned, nor learned any that Team Star told us themselves."
"..." Penny remains silent.
"So I begin to a little detective thinking after gathering all the information and learn of Cassiopeia's skills. The Ruchbah Squad was the final information I needed. And... from how you behave when you deliver the materials, I begin to draw the conclusion. That you are the Big Boss of Team Star the entire time, that being a member of the "supply unit" was just a cover for you to spy on us."
Penny tuck in her glasses. "You surpass my expectations, Renne. I recall that you are smart, but I never imagine you were this smart. When I saw you two make quick work of those Team Star lackeys outside school that time, the idea for operation Starfall suddenly came to me. My skills let me get hold of as much LP as I want, so I decided to use that to tempt you two into helping me out. As you surmise when the operation stated, I kept my eye on you as a member of the "supply unit"... And I had you two battle the bosses on my behalf. All for the goal of defeating me and putting an end to Team Star once and for all."
"Penny..." Florian muttered.
"But still..." Penny clenched her fist. "There's a part of me that wants Team Star to live on! I can't just roll over and let you two win without putting up a fight! This is the final showdown. Are you two ready?"
"We are, yes." Renne answered
"Thanks."
The Clavell in his disguise as Clive barge into the schoolyard as Florian, Renne and Penny turn to him
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Clavell panted. "The letter of apology Ms. Tyme had me—Errr... I mean, preparations took longer than expected."
"I was wondering when you'll show up." Renne admit.
"That voice... Are you Clive?" Penny asked
"Penny. So it was you after—" Clavell clear his throat. "Ah. No, I mean... is that you, Cassiopeia?"
'Nice save.' Florian and Renne thought.
"In the flesh. I've task for you, Clive, if you'll accept it. I want you to record what happens next to so I can send the video to Team Star. They need to see the outcome of this battle for themselves." Penny requested
"O-Okay... Will do."
"So then." Penny turn to Florian and Renne. "Which one of you will face me in battle?"
Renne close her eyes.
"I'll face—"
"No." Renne interrupted. "I will face you."
"Huh?" Florian look surprised. "A-Are you sure? Don't you need time to—"
"Venusaur and the others can keep going. If it's a battle against that Pokemon maneic. they will need time to rest. Don't worry. I can handle her."
"O-Okay, if you say so." Florian nodded as they move toward the battle court in the schoolyard as Renne and Penny take position.
(BGM ended)
"You know, Penny. I feel like the two of us have something in common." Renne fold her arms.
"Oh? And that would be?" Penny asked
"The two of us are pretty smart girls. We both know our way around technology. However..."
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Penny's Battle Theme)
"When it comes to hacking. Perhaps I'm being a little cocky, but I'm the superior one." Renne smirked. "This battle won't be just you as Team Star Big Boss final battle. This battle will be between us. Hacker vs Hacker. One after the other." Renne pull out a Pokeball.
"So you're also a hacker? My, it seems I learned another thing about you. I suppose you are right we have that much in common."
'How many secret do you have Renne!?' Florian thought.
"But don't let that get over your head. The one you're facing Cassiopeia. The Big Boss of Team Star... wait... no... the one you're facing is Penny!" Penny pull out her Pokeball. "Now, bow down before the overwhelming might of Team Star's founder! I won't hold back in this battle! I'll stay true to Team Star's code till the very end"
"Then come, Penny!" Renne declared. "Show me the strength of Team Star's founder!"

Penny close her eyes. "It's finally over, guys... it's done."
Flashback...
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Team Star Flashback)
"We're done here. I think we should call it quits." Penny told the bosses within the room.
"Hold up—are you sayin' we should break up the team...?" Giacomo asked in surprised. "You gotta be joking!"
"We got carried away with Operation Star... Now everything's gotten out of hand."
"Yeah, well, that's what happens when you round up a buncha bullies in the courtyard and make a show of learning 'em some manners." Mela told her
"But we didn't even fight them in the end. We didn't do anything wrong!" Eri added
"Indeed." Atticus fold his arms. "Merely did we declare our intention to battle teeth and nail should the villains persist in their tyrannous oppression. 'Twas a bloodless victory, we assure you!"
"Yeah!" Ortega agreed with a cheer. "They didn't even send out their Pokemon— they just blubbered and apologized a whole lot... Our outfits must've spooked them good!"
"But the bullies made a huge stink about what went down, and they all ended up leaving the academy. Not to mention one of them suddenly—" Penny paused.
"Suddenly what?"
"Ngh... No, it's nothing. It's best you don't find out... But regardless... and because of that... Our plan backfired epically. There's no way we're getting off scot-free."
"I guess you're right..." Giacomo sighed. "This little stunt might've put us up the cheek."
"I'll fix this mess on my end. Just leave it to me."
"What're you saying?" Mela asked, not liking where it going.
"I'm the one who started Team Star. I dragged you all into this. So I'll take responsibility for everything."
"Oh, noble and kind big boss." Atticus grimaced. You cannot..."
"Now that the bullies are gone, you guys should start going to school again."
"Oh yeah? And what about you?" Mela asked
"I can't go back..." Penny answered solemnly.
"Why?" Giacomo asked in confusion. "There's no reason for you to stay shut in your room anymore, right?"
All I can say to you guys is... thanks. Even though we never met in person, you were all so kind to me..."
"Stop right there, B.B!" Eri yelled. "Why are you talking like we'll never speak again!"
"I need to go take care of some things..."
"Prithee, speak to us! What is thine intent?" Atticus asked but Penny didn't say a word.
"Hey, Big Boss! Answer us!" Ortega demand.
Behind near the window within the room was Penny. Hiding her presence. She closed her eyes and look away.
"Bye-bye, guys... Thanks for everything." Penny said solemn and walk away.
(BGM ended)
End of Flashback...
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Penny's Theme)
Penny let out a smile. "Thanks for everything, Renne. Florian." She turn to "Clavell. "And you too, Clive..."
"I'm glad I could see this through to the end." Clavell said with a smile
"I guess this is for Team Star... and me, too—"
"Hold that thought, Miss—Ah..." Clavell clear his throat. "Penny!" Penny turn to him. "I'd like to check something with you first."
Penny raise an eyebrow. "Check what?"
"Why resort to something like Operation Starfall if you're the big boss of Team Star? Wasn't there any other way to handle this?"
"I been wondering about that myself." Renne fold her arm. "Why go through all this trouble?"
"I tried telling the bosses that we were done once before. But they still didn't quit..." Penny answered
"Then... shouldn't you like... order them to do so?" Florian asked. "I mean, you ARE the big boss."
"Our code states that no one in the team has the right to order people around. I could ask them all to do stuff, but I could never order them."
"So, it's back to the code once again..." Clavell tuck in his glasses. "The bosses must've taken it very seriously.
"My, what an impressive display of loyalty." Renne sighed. "So that's why you have to use force to disband Team Star as your only option."
"Because the bosses would do anything the code required of them? Even leave the team?"
Penny nodded. "Yes... And according to the code, they had to accept any challenge made to them."
"Oooh, so that's where Operation Starfall kicks in." Florian rub his chin.
"Cassiopeia. Let me ask you one last thing. What does Team Star—No, what do your friends in the team mean to you?" Clavell asked
Penny place her hand over her chest and lower her head. "They're..." She smiled and look back. "They're my greatest treasure."
"Heh heh." Renne let out a smile and a light laugh as Florian smiled as well.
"Splendid." Clavell fold his arms behind his back. "Thank you for apprising me of the situation, Miss Penny."
(BGM ended)
Penny blinked. "Wha—?"
"Now, young lady, there's something I should very much like to discuss with you."
"Hey, quit it with the old geezer act, Clive! You're creeping me out..."
"Pfft!" Renne cover her mouth along with Florian.
"W-What are you two laughing at?"
"Ahaha... Oh Penny. We couldn't help but laugh at the accurate that was." Renne giggled and turn to Clavell. "I think it's time you reveal yourself, too."
"Quite right, Miss Bright. Allow me to reveal to you my own secret identity!" Clavell then pull his uniform and then reveal his true appearance
Penny gasped. "D-Director Clavell!?"
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Clive Reveal)
"Just as Cassiopeia was your disfuise, the boy you knew as Clive was mine!" Clavell smirked
"But... But why!?"
"Um..." Florian closed into Renne's ear. "Is it me or has this suddenly got into an interrogation?"
"I was wondering that myself." Renne replied.
"I needed a way to talk to Team Star on equal terms. Students do tend to shy from speaking their mind to their teachers, after all... Much more so when faced with the director of the academy." Clavell explained
"Yeah, but... where do I even start? Wasn't the outfit a bit much?" Penny asked
"Like the wig?" Florian asked as he thinks
"Or the beard?" Renne asked with a sly cat smile, causing Clavell to sweatdrop.
"Ahem! Well, that's quite enough of that for now."Clavell turn to the door. "Everyone! Why don't you come me out now?"
(BGM ended)
Penny turn her head to the door and it opened. Approaching were Team Star Bosses, Giacomo, Mela, Eri, Atticus and Ortega, causing Penny to gasp.
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Penny and Team Star)
"Yo, Big Boss! Long time no see!" Giacomo waved his hand with a smile
"Momo..." Penny let out a smile of joy.
"More like "long time no meet," right" Mela asked with a chuckled. "I mean, we only found out your real name just now!"
"Mellie..."
"Verily is thy long-ihdden countenance a sight for sore eyes, my lady." Atticus fold his arms and gave a nod while smiling behind his headwear.
"Atticus..."
"So, um..." Ortega scratching his cheek. "I heard your real name's Penny? How're you been this whole time?"
"Ortie..."
"We found you at last..." Eri smiled. "You've no idea how worried we've been!"
"Eri..."
"Okay gang." Giacomo turn to the others and they look back with a smile. "On the count of three! One, two..."
Ortega, Eri, Atticus, Mela and Giacomo did the Team Star greeting pose. "Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! And hello, Penny!"
Penny couldn't help but let out a smile, almost wanted to cry.
"Now then, Miss Penny." Clive said as everyone turn to him. "And each of you young bosses, as well. On behalf of the academy, I have something I would like to say to Team Star." He then bow in apology form. 'You all have... my sincerest apologies."
"Come again?" Penny asked, looking confused.
"As director of the academy, I let you down. My handling of your situation was a dismal failure..."
"Wha—? I still don't... I mean... why?"
"You all told me your reasons for forming Team Star and about your subsequent actions. Ever since my first days as director, all I've ever experience of the academy is an environment experienced of the academy is an environment blessedly free from bullying. But I now know this peace was built on the backs of your hurt and anger—and, of course, your immense courage in putting things to right. And so, I'll get straight to the conclusion." The Clavell clear his throat. "The academy's order for Team Star to disband and my threat to expel those who did not obey... are hereby revoked!"
?! appeared over Penny, Giacomo, Mela, Atticus, Ortega and Eri.
"Does that mean what I think it means..." Giacomo asked in surprise.
Clavell nodded. "Indeed! Team Star can continue to exist, should that be your wish!"
The Bosses of Team Star let out a cheer ad they gather around Penny.
"Woo-hoo! Penny, isn't this great?" Eri cheered "Now we can all stay together!"
"O, mine heart is giddly with glee!" Atticus cheered
"B-But... I betrayed all of you..." Penny stated as she look sad.
"You mean Operation Starfall? Director Clavell told us all about it!" Ortega replied
"Far as we heard, you only went through with it to save us from getting expelled!" Giamoco nodded. "You were just worried about us, yeah?"
"Not like we'd ever chuck the team just 'cause someone told us to, after all. Ain't our style." Mela said
"I cannot even begin to imagine how you must have fear'd for us, Lady Penny..." Atticus sighed.
"Sorry for making you worry, B.B. We're all okay now." Eri smiled
"But—! Even so..."
(BGM ended)
Clavell clapped his hand. "Hold on, everyone. I've more to say."
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Welcome to the World of Pokemon!)
"As previously stated, the requirement for Team Star to disband has been revoked. However! There are still some unsettled matters to discuss. Allow me to provide a few examples..." Clavell tuck in his glasses. "Your protracted truancy! Your brazen customization of school uniforms! Your unauthorized using of academy equipment! Your reckless modification and jeopardous driving of Pokemon-powered vehicles!" He responded, causing Penny and the others to sweatdrop. "Need I go on? Your flagrant disregard for school rules cannot simply be overlooked!"
That cause Penny and the others to frown and lower their heads.
"Thus, as punishment, you will all be required to engage in community service."
"Community... service?" Penny asked
Clavell nodded "Yes. Specifically, I will be asking you to managed the STCs."
"Aaaand that stands for...?"
"The Star Training Centers! They shall be facilities for cultivating Pokemon Trainers' talents. I plan for the academy to found them in collaboration with the Pokemon League. The idea came to me when I saw Mister Florian and Miss Renne battling their way through your bases." Clavell answered. "The bases' construction, as well as the battle tactics employed by the students in Team Star, are remarkably unique and creative! I would ask that you continue your team activities but henceforth as STC staff members, using your formal bases as training facilities. And that is the sum of it. Does anyone have any concerns?"
Penny smiled. "Um...no? It sounds like fun, so I don't see how this'd be anything but a win-win..."
"This may be a weird thing to say since the STCs are supposed to be a punishment and all, but you should totally join in too, Penny!" Ortega suggest
"'Tis true... we would most happily have you at our sides, my lady." Atticus agreed
"We can go to school together too! That way if anything happens, we'll be there to protect you!" Eri smiled
" We were already talkin' about how great it'd be to have both Team Star and school in our lives. This'd be a sweet deal for us!" Giacomo smiled
"So, whaddya say?" Mela asked with a smile
"You guys..." Penny smiled, looking at her friends before turning to Florian and Renne who smile at them back. "Florian, Renne. What do you guys think?"
"I think it sounds great!" Florian gave a thumps up. "Give it your best shot!"
"Huh? B-But—"
"I couldn't help but agree." Renne agreed "It's up to you if you want to, through Penny."
"Indeed. No need to give your response right this moment, Miss Penny. Do take some time to decide." Clavell said. "For now, at least, I think our little group should go their separate ways. Ah. Not to say you should break up Team Star after all! I simply meant it is time to leave."
Penny and the other bosses look at each other with a smile.
"Master Florian, Miss Bright. Please s top by my office later, if you would."
"Of course." Renne nodded. "Oh that reminds me. I would like to talk to Team Star bosses about something."
"To us?" Giamoco asked as Renne approached.
"First, I'll start with Ortega. Your invention with the Starmobile is truly a work of art. I happen to be friends with a few people who are also engineers. My best friend included. I'm positively sure they'll be very intrigued to see this starmobile and you as well. If you like, I can arrange we can go meet up and we can have a nice conversation, stuff like that."
"Really? I'm flattered about the Starmobile but..." Ortega scratch his hair.
"Take this opportunity to make more new friends. You have a talent in machinery and engineering. Who knows. You might learn more new skills." Renne then turn to Eri. "Eri. Your battle prowess as well as wrestling also got me interested as well. I just so happen to be friends with a Fighting Type Gym Leader in the Galar Region. I think you and her have a lot in common. I think you'll be fast friends."
"Oh really?" Eri mused.
"W-Wait... You know Gym Leader Bea?!" Penny gasped.
"Yep. Like I said, Bea and her are good with Fighting Pokemon and she's also a wrestler herself. It wouldn't surprise me if the two of you have your own matches from time to time." Then turn to Atticus. "For you Atticus, sounds to me you have a gift for clothing design in a unique style. I just so happen to know someone who is also a clothes designer herself. I think you two... possibly get along in the clothing department. I wouldn't be surprised if you got hired as well. Oh and I'm also friends with people who are also eastern martial artist and some train in Ninjitsu Arts."
"What!?" Atticus eye sparkling. "Is thou speak the truth?!"
"That's right. If you want to learn more and train in that art, I can go ask them if you're interested." Renne turn to Giamoco. "For you Giamoco. I have to admit, your Team Star battle music was awesome in every sense of the world. I happen to be acquainted with many musicians myself. I think you'll be fast friends with them when it comes to music."
"Yo for real?" Giacomo mused.
"For you, Mela." Renne turn to her. "Well to be honest. I don't know what you like or what you want to do, but respect your taste of appearance."
"Oh yeah?" Mela asked
"But I am looking forward of learning more about you. Maybe somewhere along the way. And last but not least, Penny." Renne turn to Penny.
"Me this time?" Penny blinked
"Yep. I told you that I'm also skill in hacking and stuff like that. I also friends with others people who are just good with machinery and hacking skills. I want to introduce you all to them. Of course, that depends on you if you want too."
"That's great and I but... how many people do you know, Renne?" Penny asked
Renne did a pose where she casually did the "Shhh" finger and wink. "Let's just say I have plenty of friends outside of Paldea."
"How many secrets do you have?!"
'Seriously.' Florian thought with a sweatdrop and a nervous look.
"Well it's getting late. So all of you think about it. Oh and Florian. Let Arven know to meet up about his thing."
"Already on it." Florian got his Rotom phone out and calling Arven. "Hey, Arven! It's about that thing—"
(BGM ended)
Dateline: November 6 1206 Monday...
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Naranja/Uva Academy Classroom)
"Director, we're here." Renne called out as she and Florian approached.
"Ah, glad to see you're here, Miis Bright, Master Florian." Clavell smiled. "I wanted to thank you for all your hard work in resolving the situation with Team Star. If not for you two, I suspect I would have done the team a grievous injustice in my choice of punishment for their actions. You have my sincere gratitude."
"Aww, it was no problem, Director. We're just glad everything is okay." Florian smiled
"My, look at us. We just arrived and enrolled in the academy, only to be ask to clean up the messes the academy has made." Renne sighed.
"I wouldn't go that far, Renne." Florian sweatdrop.
"I know, I'm just teasing. But I do have to admit. All this experience has taught me so much in more ways than one. And I even got a nice story and bonus to remember."
"Bonus?"
The door knocked.
"Who is it?" Clavell asked
"Um... It's Penny." Penny replied on the other side of the door.
"Ah, Miss Penny! Do come in." Clavell said as Penny open the door, came in and close the door
"H-Hello, Director." Penny greeted. "About the STCs... I'd like to work on them together with the rest of Team Star."
"That's wonderful news. Thank you very much for your favorable response."
"But,um..." Penny look away. "I...I should be punished more heavily than the others, I think..."
"Why so? Because of Operation Starfall?" Clavell asked
"No, not that. Because of the other really bad thing I did..."
"And what would that be?"
"Um..." Penny gulped. "Y'know the LP I gave you three in exchange for helping me with Operation Starfall...? I got hold of it sort of... illegally... by hacking the Pokemon League's LP management system."
"Ah. I see." Clavell sighed. "That is... quite the revelation."
'Ah, right. That's where the LP comes from.' Renne thought.
"I did not think such a thing was even possible in the first place."
"It wasn't all that har—" Penny paused there. "Errr, I mean... I'm really sorry and I won't do it again."
Clavell hummed. "This matter is rather out of my jurisdiction, I'm afraid. I will have to consult Ms. Geeta, the Pokemon League chairwomen, on how to proceed."
"I figured as much..."
"I do apologize, Master Florian and Miss Bright, but I will have to ask you two to give us some privacy."
"It's understandable. I hope they aren't too hard on Penny though." Renne said
Florian stomach growl. "Oops. I guess I forgot to eat breakfast."
Renne sweatdrop. "You forgot? Let's get you some breakfast. Including your Pokemon."
After breakfast...
"Ahh, that was delicious." Florian rub his belly.
"Glad to see you're happy at least." Renne said. "I know I am with all the money we've gotten from the League~"
"Yeah, we surely got a lot, huh?" Florian asked until his Rotom Phone rang. "Hmm? Who's calling?" He wondered as he answered. "Hello?"
"Hey Florian..."
"Oh hey, Penny!"
"Is Renne with you?"
"Yep. She is. What's up?"
"Could you two come meet me in front of the school stairs? Y'know, where we first met?"
"Sure, we can head over." Florian nodded.
"Okay, I'll be waiting..." She then hang up.
"Did Penny finish her meeting?" Renne asked
"Guess so. She wants to meet us." Florian replied.
"Ah. Let's go then." Renne said as she and Florian leave the academy's hallway and headed to the stairs.
As they walk and arrive, they see Penny looking up at the sky.
"Hey there, Penny." Florian wave his hand at her.
"Hasta la vistar..." Penny replied
"Isn't that Team Star usual goodbye model?" Renne asked
"Yes. The six of us thought up that catchphrase back when we created the team. It's so cringey it's perfect, you know?"
"Of that, there's no question." Renne nodded in agreement. "So how did it go?"
"I thought I was going down big-time for hacking the League Point System, but they're letting me off easy..." Penny answered
Florian sigh of relief. "Oh that's great to hear. So what happened?"
"The Pokemon League said they'll waive my debt if I do some volunteer engineering for them. They even asked me to come work for them after I graduated, if you can believe that."
"Well, it just goes to show how talented you are with computers and technology compared to them." Renne replied. "Perhaps one might say you may be even a godsend for identifying the flaw they have in their system. It would be a waste for someone like you to be out of reach to them or thrown in jail."
Penny blinked. "Are you psychic or something Renne? That's almost exactly what Director Clavell and that Geeta lady complimented me about. It's just weird getting those compliments though."
"More like a guess I assure you."
"Does that mean something similar happens to you?"
"Not exactly. But I do know someone who's fowl who wants to use talents like us for his experiments."
Penny had blue lines coming from the back of her head. "I'm... not gonna ask what you mean by that..."
"Perhaps it would be best." Renne shrug. "Anyway, so what did you decided to bring us here for?"
"Well..." Penny lower her head. "Sorry for calling you out here like this. I'm still not so great with people face-to-face... I never seem to find the right words, but, um..." She look at Florian and Renne with a smile. "Th-Thank you... so much. You save Team Star— and my friends along with it. I know words won't ever be enough to properly thank you for all you've done, so here..." She handed them a TM. "I'm sure you two will put this to good use."
"Aww, thanks Penny." Florian smiled. "We're just glad we can help."
"That's right. We're all friends here. If there's one thing that I've learned, is that friends are always the best thing a person will have. And we're glad that you're one of them Penny."
"You guys..." Penny let out a smile. "Thanks you."
"I think it's time that we exchange numbers." Renne pull out her Rotom ARCUS Alpha and activate it which surprise Penny.
"Whoa! I thought you used a Rotom Phone."
"Nope. This is an ARCUS Alpha with a Rotom infused with it. It's like a Smartphone but it does waaay more than your average smartphone. That's also a reason why you couldn't hack into mine. It was built with a state-of-the-art anti-hacker system by a genius engineer and scientist."
"No wonder... I had never seen anything like it. I'm... kinda curious to know about how it works."
"If you like, why not come with me Mushroom Kingdom?"
"T-The Mushroom Kingdom?!" Penny look surprised "Wait, you mean the actual Mushroom Kingdom?"
"That's right." Renne nodded
"T-That would be an honor! But how exactly? By plane?"
"We could, but I got a quicker way. What about you, Florian?"
"Sure, sounds like a good place to visit." Florian nodded. "But... are we even allow to go outside of Paldea?"
"I'm sure we can get the go-ahead. I need to contact someone to make it possible and discuss it with both Geeta and the Director."
"Renne... how many connections do you have?"
Renne wink. "Let's just say, a lot."
Penny sweatdrop. "I can't tell if I should be scare by you now."
"Same." Florian sighed.
"Hehehe." Renne giggled.
"A-A-Anyway. I also indebted to you guys too. If you ever think of a way I can do to repay you, just let me know."
"Sure. All right." Florian nodded. "Now let's exchange numbers." Florian smiled as his and Penny Rotom Phone exchange numbers and then Renne's Rotom ARCUS Alpha and Penny's Rotom Phone exchanged numbers.
"Okay, that should do it!" Renne smiled.
"Yep." Penny nodded in a smile. "So next time, I'll be the one helping you two out."
"And if you also need help Penny, feel free to call us. We're friends after all."
"Hehe, right." Penny smiled. "Hasta la vistar!" Then she takes off.
"All right, ready for Arven?" Florian asked.
"Yep. Let's—" Renne nodded before notice at the Plaza was Nemona. "Oh, look's been waiting for us to show up."
Florian turn his head to the plaza. "Oh you're right. Guess we shouldn't keep her waiting huh?"
"I guess not." Renne sighed. "We might as well get it over with." She said as she and Florian approached.
(BGM ended)
"Any second now..." Nemona hummed to herself until she turn her head and see Florian and Renne. "There you two are! You certainly kept a girl waiting!"
"Nemona, please tell me you didn't actually wait for us all night." Renne asked
"Nooooo..." Nemona look the other way.
'Oh my god this girl did...' Renne sweatdrop in her thought.
"But anyway, I'm so glad that you two are here! Are your Pokemon are all rested up? You ready for a battle between Champions?" Nemona then look around and notice a small number of crowds and Pokemon begin to gather. "'Cause all these folks here seem to be ready to watch. Word got around, I guess."
"Looks like it." Florian look around, noticing Rika, Poppy are among the crowds. "I have to admit, I am feeling kinda nervous performing in front of the crowd."
"It's natural you feel that way. But think of it as a regular Pokemon battle." Nemona giggled. "And out of every single person gathered here. I'm the most excited by a mile! So Which one of you decided to take me one."
Renne place her hand on Florian's shoulder. "I think it is you, Florian."
"Me?" Florian asked
"You are the first person Nemona met and battle when you gain your first Pokemon back at the beach and starting school. I see no other reason why you can't be first."
"She has a point, you know?" Nemona giggled.
Florian close his eyes and let out a smug look. "True." He begin to walk around the Pokemon battle court center and Nemona did the same. Renne decided to step back and casually wrap her arms behind her back. "All true. It was thanks to you Nemona that I managed to make it this far. To form many bonds with many Pokemon, encountering, battling, developing tactics, and even exploring suggestion. Course, I have others but... all of them still lead to the same road. Where you and I stand on equal footing... as friends and rivals as a whole."
Geeta and Clavell who is among the crowd also came, just as Hassel. While Larry just walking by and then take a look.
"The stage is set." Nemona smirked as the wind blew as she got out her Pokeball. "It's my all-out power..." Florian got out his Pokeball. "Versus your strength in full fruition! Let's see who comes out on top!"
(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Champion Nemona Battle)
"Right." Florian smirked. "Let's put on a grand show for the audience, Nemona."
"I'll be the Referee this time." Renne said. "Just as we first met. Though I wonder if there's a field barrier around here."
"Ah, quite right." Geeta pull out a remote in the distance and press the button.
Then a field barrier around the stage is activated.
"Well, that's our answer that." Renne chuckled and she cleared her throat. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Today we witness two Champions-rank will fight and go all out with each other! Who will win? Will it be Champion Nemona? Or recent Champion Rank Florian?" Renne asked. "Are both Champion-Ranks ready?" She asked as Florian and Nemona nodded.
Renne raise her arm. "BEGIN!"

"You too, Goodra!" Nemona recalled as Both Pokemon are called. "Who would have guessed both of our Pokemon would faint at once!"
