(Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories ost - Scent of Silence)

"What?"

"Renne, are you certain you want to talk about that?" Emblem Loewe asked.

"Yes." Renne nodded her head. "There are truths to Kieran's words about... being a murderer... but also an Enforcer to Ouroboros."

"Double what?" Florian eye widen along with Emblem Leif.

"About two years ago. I used to be an Enforcer to Ouroboros. I been through many operations that involve slaughtering people. Because I lost my humanity because of the most vile cult in Zemuria."

"Is this... the same cult Tio mentioned during our bout with Sombron?" Emblem Leif asked

Renne nodded her head. "The very same. They were called the D.G Cult. The most despicable and diabolical cult in existence. 9 years ago. I used to live with my parents. They were running away from debt collectors and fear they will come after them. They entrusted me to a friend in a country called Calvard. They promise me that they'll come back. However, all of that changed when the D.G Cult attacked the house I was staying in, and kidnapped me." Renne hold her left arm. "The cult did number of experiments on me and countless other children as sacrifices."

"S-Sacrificecs..." Florian gasped in horror with Emblem Leif.

"The D.C Cult kidnapped countless children all over the world of Zemuria." Emblem Loewe said. "It was not only infamous for kidnapping children, but they also worship devils as they defy the existence of the Sky Goddess Aidios. The cult committed countless atrocious by subjecting children to their "ceremony." "These ceremonies were actually human experiments. The cult has different factions with different pursuits for rejecting Aidios. Renne suffers in one of the cults longe called Paradise. Unlike most of the lodge which was focused on the drug called Gnosis which breaks the "shackles" of the world by granting powers and latent abilities. Including side effects. Paradise was working on creating vessels for their "true god". They use Gnosis on the children. Not only to enhance her intelligence but also to extract her personality, making her become a husk. Many children there died, Renne was the only one was alive."

"By Arceus..."

"..." Emblem Leif clenched his teeth while Koraidon and Miradon growled in furious but also distraught.

"I used to have roommates during my time in Paradise named Cross, Etta, Adja and Quatre. Each of them died in the cult. Leaving me alone." Renne said solemn. "Years later, Ouroboros alongside my adopted father Cassius and Lloyd's brother Guy attacked and destroyed the Cult. Loewe and Joshua found me lying naked and wounded, they took me in and I became Enforcer No. XV The Angel of Slaughter and like Kieran said I was a mass murderer back then."

"Then what happens?" Florian asked.

"Around that time I discovered my parents... who were holding my little brother, who was born." Renne look up at the ceiling. "I wanted to return to my parents at that time. But not anymore. The moment they held my baby brother in my arms... They've decided to forget me. I wanted to cut them down for abandoning me. That was when Loewe came to pick me up—" She turn to him. "Who told me that "Enforcers have the freedom to do whatever we want, whenever we want". And ask me if my parents are worth cutting down. I allow them to live." She turn to Florian, Koraidon and Emblem Leif. "One day Joshua was sent on a mission by Mariabell's predecessor—the Faceless to assassinate Cassius. When that failed, he took him in and became Estelle's adopted brother. A lot of stuff happened and I decided to leave Ouroboros to go to Crossbell to see my family, with a little help from a certain someone I got there and meet Lloyd and the others."

"I begin investigating surviving members of the D.G Cult. From there. I met my old family... I learn that... they still grieve for me, that their second child... my little brother is to atone for their sins for abandoning me. They were close to committing joint suicide before learning my mother was pregnant. I made a choice that... their daughter... me... that will watch over them from the shadows. I don't plan on ever returning to them. Nor will return the life I lost. I enjoy my new life here. A lot has happened in Crossbell involving Gnosis and the D.G Cult, where Joshua and Estelle were looking for me. In the end of that, they finally managed to catch me... and I was welcomed into the Bright Family. And the D.G Cult was destroyed for good."

A moment of silence keeps going on.

"Well... that's my past."

"Renne..." Florian whispered as he approached her and then hug her.

(BGM ended)

"Florian?"

(Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon ost - Partner's Theme: Music Box)

"While I am progressing and... flabbergasted about all this... You've suffered so much through your whole life. I couldn't help but want to comfort you from all you endured, losing your friends, your humanity, enduring so much anguish, making you who you are now." Florian said, letting out a warm smile. "While I am shocked about the whole thing you did as an Enforcer and that you were one... it doesn't change the fact that you're my friend. The actions you've done... all of that was because of the cult. They... are literally the bane of existence. You may have blood on your hands, but you were hurt. Someone with that great deal of pain needs to be comforted by the warmth and love to mend all that. I bet that's how Estelle and Joshua managed to catch you. They were so worried about you. I would too if you keep running away from your problems. I'm just glad that, despite all that happened, you were willing to make amends and start a new life. A new life like this. It doesn't matter what your old life was, be it dark or ordinary, you are who you are now, Renne. My dearest friend."

"..." Renne was speechless.

"Hmph." Emblem Loewe let out a smile as he close his eyes. "Well said."

"Ah, jeez. Why am I not surprised that you would say such a tenderness thing?" Renne let out a soft chuckled and then hug back. "But thank you, Florian. Thank you for being one of my best friends."

"It's always a pleasure." Florian chuckled as they let go and Miraidon and Koraidon licking Renne's face.

"Hehe. Thank you two." Renne petting both of them. "And thank you, Loewe for being there for me."

"There is no need to thank me." Emblem Loewe said.

"Renne. I'm so happy that you found a new purpose in life. That you made many cherish friends. I'm proud of you." Emblem Leif smiled

"Thank you, Leif." Renne smiled. "Although I am still unhappy. It seems I will have a word with Natsume when I find him."

"He brought it upon himself." Florian scratch his cheek.

"Yes... but..." Emblem Leif sighed. "Your story reminded me so much of the Child Hunt back in my world."

"Your world experiences something like that too?"

"Yes. Back in my world, there was a dark faith called the Loptr Church. They worship the Dark God Loptous. The church was led by a diabolical man named Manfroy who was responsible for all the suffering within my homeworld. My dear friend Seliph lost both his Father and Mother to his schemes, causing a great shadow to the world in rebuilding the Loptrian Empire. He gave a forbidden unholy dark tome of Loptous to Julius, a prince of Grannvale. It corrupted him, and Lopotous spirit possessed him because he had major blood. He and Julius started the Child Hunt where many children were either sacrificed for Loptous or brainwashed them into the Grannvalean nobles in to rebuild the Loptrian Empire. In the end, we not only destroy the Loptous Church and defeated Manfroy, but we destroy Loptous, freeing the world from its shadows. Much sorrow happen as we rebuild everything Manfroy has done."

"Leif..." Florian sadden

"I had no idea your world had something similar." Emblem Loewe said.

"Hehe. Maybe that's why I get along with you well, Loewe. And how I'm here with you guys. I'm grateful to have friends like you, and know that I will fight by your side." Emblem Leif smiled.

"Us too." Renne smiled. "Our world may be different, but we all have something similar that brought us closer. Speaking off, I guess I can tell you something else about me. Renne isn't my actual name."

"Wait, what?" Florian blinked. "Renne isn't your actual name?"

"No. It's Renny. It's Renny Hayworth. That's my real name before I've taken on a new identity."

"So... should I call you Renny?"

Renne shook her head. "No. As I said, I left that old life behind, including that name. I prefer it. And if we ever visit Crossbell and see people who have the same hair and eyes as me, please don't tell them who I really am. I accepted that I'll never hear them call me that name again since their first child is dead. Plus, I love the family I had right now. Just don't tell them I said that."

"I understand. If it weren't for this new life. I wouldn't have met you." Florian nodded his head with a smile. "Well, let's keep going to the Coastal Biome. Our next Elite Four awaits."

"Right." Renne nodded

(BGM ended)

"Ro-to-to-to!"

"Oh, someone's calling." Florian pull out his Rotom Phone and answered.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Dark Gray Feeling)

"Hey, are you guys okay?" Carmine asked on the line.

"Carmine?" Florian asked

"I heard from Amarys that you and Kiki got into a fight. Something about slandering Renne."

"Figures that conversation will spread quick." Renne sighed. "We... got into a headed argument, yes. I'll explain the details." She said as she explain without revealing her being in Ouroboros.

"Oh my Arceus... Kiki... I didn't think you would do something so horrible..."

"Yeah. I'm going to teach him a lesson he won't forget." Florian said, firmly.

"Florian, what are you planning to do?"

"Take away his position for starters. He'll learn that he mess with the wrong person."

"Florian..."

"Gotta go, Carmine, but see you at the champion." Florian said as he hang up. "Come on, let's not keep Kieran waiting."

"Okay..." Renne muttered as she hop on Miraidon and Florian with Koraidon. "All right, let's fly!" She said as they go on turbo mode and glide off the mountain.

(BGM ended)


One gliding later...

(Super Mario Galaxy ost - Beach Bowl Galaxy)

"And here we are." Renne said as they arrived at the Plaza. "It certainly took us a while to make it here with you catching different Pokémon."

"What can I say, catching Pokemon is my passion. Especially training a new team." Florian chuckled. "The coastal biome is filled with Water Pokemon so I'm glad I caught some new Pokemon."

"True. I can't argue with you there." Renne nodded. "Anyway, time to begin the next trial." They approach to the counter. "Excuse us. My name is Renne and this is Florian. We're here to participate in Lacey's Elite Trial."

"Of course, Of course! All you gotta do is give me 50 BP and you're in."

"Here you go!" Florian handed over 50 BP along with Renne.

"All right! Registrations complete!" The receptionist clapping her hand. "Hey, Lacey! You got duty caaaaaaall~"

"Cooooooooming." Lacey approached and spotted Renne and Florian. "Oh! Why if it isn't Florian and Renne! I'm so glad you two decided to pay me a visit. Please follow me. I'll show you two to the trial site." Lacey said as they taken off.


One travel later...

"And here we are!" Lacey spread her arms and then face them. "Thanks for choosing the Coastal Plaza to challenge me."

"Don't mention it." Florian said.

"Listen, there are two things I wanted to talk about with you two. The first is I wanted to apologize for protesting you two for joining the BB League. While it is true that it's irregular under the bylaw of our school club, but mainly I don't want to involve the two of you in the drama that's been troubling the club lately."

"Don't worry about that. We're aware of what we're getting into." Florian smiled. "It shouldn't be a surprise that you would protest, just to protest us. But as you know, we have a reason why we need to join. As luck would have it, they allowed us to join."

"A reason you say? Lacey rub her chin. "What could you need the reason for? To hone your skills?"

"That's one of the reasons, so to speak." Florian said.

"I see. I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise. The other reason is... I heard from Amarys what happened in the Canyon Plaza..."

"Oh..."

"I never thought Kieran would go so far to say such horrible things to provide you. On behalf on the BB Leagues, we apologize for not stepping in and for our champions behavior." Lacey lower her head. "I'm going to give Drayton a big piece of my mind after this. I just hope he will take responsibility for this. Anyway, let's go ahead and begin our official trial and lget some fun!"

"And what's the trial going to be?" Renne asked

"A Pokemon quiz!" Lacey answered

"A pokemon Quiz?" Florian asked

"Ah, so it's a test of intelligent." Renne mused.

Lacey nodded. "That's right! I'll ask you two five questions about Pokemon. If you can answer them all correctly, then you pass! The two of you must work your brains together, without using your Pokedex for information. That would be cheating. So are you two ready?"

"We're ready!" Florian answered

Lacey clapped her hands. "Great! Then I'll just get everything ready" She took off.

(BGM ended)

"All right, I hope you study well, Florian." Renne said.

"Well we are in a Pokemon school you know." Florian said. "I'm sure we got this in the bag." Florian replied.

"Hehe. You know, I feel like Arven, Nemona and Penny are missing out. Maybe we should invite them if we can get the chance to ask."

"Yeah, not a bad idea." Florian agreed.

"Okay, I'm back!" Lacey approached with many Pokemon accompanying her.

(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Listen Up, Now Tutorial)

"Okay, little one, you're up first!" Lacey giggled as Pikachu step up.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered

"Aww, it's a Pikachu~" Floian said sweetly.

"That's right! It's everyone favorite Pokemon, Pikachu! He's here to help!" Lacey giggled. "Now for Question 1! Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokemon well known for producing electricity within its body. But in which part of its body does it store the electricity it generates?"

Florian and Renne look at each other and nodded.

"Pikachu's cheeks!" Florian announced

"Ding ding ding! Correct!" Lacey clapping her hands. "Pikachu stores its electricity in the electric sacs in its cheeks! If you poke the sacs, you'll get a little shock, but don't you think they're just super round and cute?"

"There's no denying that!" Florian chuckled. "Pikachu is so cute that I couldn't help but snuggle it, even if I get shocked."

"Haha, I remember Hortensia did that when he met Pikachu." Renne giggled


Flashback...

Hortensia let out a huge gasp as she see Pikachu snugging on the cough.

"Oh. My. GOSH! What is that?!" Hortensia squealed

"Pika?" Pikachu turn to Hortensia.

"It's soooo cute!" Hortensia and then pick Pikachu up and then snuggle it. "You're just the cutest little critter I've ever seen!"

"Pikaaa~"

"OOh I'm gonna squish you with love~ You're the absolutely cutest thing I've seen!" Hortensia squealed, hugging Pikachu a little too light

"P-Pika...!"

"Hortensia, why did you—" Rosado asked as he and Goldmary approached. "What the?"

"Goldmary, Rosado, look!" Hortensia show Pikachu. "Look at this adorable yellow creature.

"Pikaa..." Pika catching his breath.

"Oh. My. GOSH!" Rosado Squeal. "That is the most adorable creature I've seen just wait! No WAIT! Penny's Sylveon is the cutest! Wait, what is this adorable little one?!"

"Pikachu." Pikachu raised his little arm.

"I think its name is Pikachu. Aren't you just the cutest." Goldmary approach and then petting the head. "Yes you are, yes you are~" Then she touch the cheek. Then electricity was produced and shock Hortensia and Goldmary.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Both of them yelled before they fell over and Pikachu landed on Hotensia's belly.

"Oh my gosh! Hortensia, Goldmary! Are you okay!?" Rosadao panicked as he knee down to shock on them

"Pika..." Pikachu sheepishly scratch the back of his head, blushing as if he was apologizing."


End of Flashback...

"Oh yeah, did you also recall Merrin went to that Pokemon farm?" Florian asked.


Flashback again...

"Oh. My. Gosh." Merrin squal as the sight of Pokemons like Ponyta, Rapidash, Garlian Ponyta and Galarian Rapidash, Espurr, Exeggucutes, Exeggutors, Girafarig, Mightyena, Zigzagoon, Linoones and Eevees. "So many, Pokemon~!" Then she turn to her left and gasped loudly and see Dratini sheding skin while Dragonair was watching. "Dragons!" Her eyes sparkling. "Oh my super gooooosh~"


End of flashback...

"Oh yeah, the farmer was understanding as Merrin apologize for getting carried away." Florian said

"Um, are you two ready to move on?" Lacey asked.

"We are."

"Great!" Lacey clapped her hands. "Take five, Pikachu!"

"Pika!" Pikachu hop away.

"Venonat, you're up!" Lacey called out

"Venonat!" Venonat approached next to Lacey.

"Okay, now take a look at Venonat here! It's bigger than you'd think it would be, isn't it? But it's also fluffy. and squeezable and terribly adorable, really!" Lacey wink and has two fingers up. "So here we go with question two! Even on the darkest of nights, Venonat is able to use a certain part of its body like radar, which allows it to detect surrounding objects. What part of Venonat's body acts like radar?"

Florian and Renne look at each other as they whispered.

'I think I remember something about a radar. Was it is antenna?' Florian asked.

'No, that's not it. I believe it is eyes.' Renne said

'Eyes... Eyes...' Florian snapped his finger. 'Oh of course! The eyes!' They turn to Lacey. "It's Venonat's eyes!"

"Ding ding ding! That's right!" Lacey clapping her hands. "It's Venonat's big eyes that serve as radar! Isn't Venonat even more adorable when you think about how it sees a whole world you can't see?!"

"By seeing in the dark... I think?" Florian scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Okay, let's go for the next question. Take a break Venonat." Lacey said as it takes off. "Sinisteas, your up!" She called out and three Sinistea.

"Ooh~" Renne smirked.

"Oh boy. This one is easy for her."

"I see someone is very intrigued by my quiz. Well, don't get too comfortable. Because I raise the difficulty." Lacey giggled. "Tell me, do you like a cup of tea—or rather these three Sinistea siblings? In any case, Question three. Sinistea like to live in precious antique teacups. But there are a lot of phonies out there! It's hard to tell which cups are genuine antiques... One of these three Sinistea is an Antique Form Sinistea, meaning it found a real antique cup! So which Sinistea has the real deal?!"

"That one." Renne pointed to the middle.

Lacey blinked."That was fast. What about you, Florian?"

"I'll go with the second one too." Florian said

"Well, Ding ding ding! You're correct! I had to admit, I thought it was going to take a bit longer. How did you know it was the middle?"

"Well, Tea is my favorite beverage. What's more, I have a Polteageist of my own as well. Just like the second Sinistea, it has a mark on the button of the cup." Renne answered

"So you're a tea lover? Okay, that makes sense! Also, that's good to know too." Lacey said. "Well anyway, it doesn't matter whether they're Antique Form or Phony Form, they're all so darn cute! Okay, let's head to the next question. Take five Sinisteas."

"Sinisteaaa~" The Sinistea siblings floated away as a multiple colors of Minior floated next.

"This is the Meteor Pokemon, Minior! It comes in all kinds of different colors, you know." Lacey look at Minior. "I'll first ask you two to take a reaaaaaaaal good look at this pinish Minior for me, mmkay?" She said as the Pink Minior covered itself and soon the other Minior did the same. "Okay guys! Mix yourselves up real good!" She said as the Minior begin to mix around until stop. "Perfect! Now we're ready for question four! Which of these pinior is the pinkish Minior?"

Renne and Florian pointed to the Minor on the lower right.

"That one/This one." Both of them said, then cause the Pink Minior to reveal itself.

"Ding ding ding! You two got it! You really pay attention, even after they return to their Meteor Form! Aren't Minior adorable?" Larcey giggled. "Their coloration varies based on what they eat. With that, we'll move on to our final question. Take five Miniors." She said as the Minior floated away as Granbull appeared

"Granbull!"

"Oh, and here's Granbull! Maybe it heard the word "pink" and decided to stop by!" Lacey giggled. "This little sweetie is one of my own Pokemon. It's always with me." She turn to Florian and Renne. "So here comes the last question. Question five. Qranbull is a quiet, delicate, and loveable Pokemon, of course, but you can tell me this: When I take a nap with my adorable Granbull, which part of its body do I use as a pillow?!"

Florian and Renna look at each other and then look at Granbull and see the stomach.

"Tummy?" Florian asked Renne.

"Tummy." Renne nodded.

"We choose, Tummy!"

"Ding ding ding! That's exactly right! I use that soft, adorable tummy!" Lacey clapped her hands. "When I cuddle up to it, it's so soft and cozy. We both fall alseep in just seconds! And that's the end of my quiz! Since you two managed to answer all on my questions right, that means you passed! Congratulations! You two officially cleared my Elite Trial! You two earned the right to challenge me in battle!"

(BGM ended)

"All right!" Florian high give Renne as she respond in kind.

"And with that, it's time to head back to the plaza!" Lacey said as they headed back to the plaza and then headed to the Battle Court.

"And here we are!" Florian stretching out his arms.

"You're feeling bored, aren't you?" Renne asked

"Nah. Just needed a good stretch and all before a battle." Florian said. "Shall we head to position, Lacey?"

"Yep! It's position time!" She said as the three of them take positon in the battle court. "All right. Allow me to properly introduce myself to you both this time. I am Lacey of the Elite Four. I'll be honest about something. I really wasn't expecting that I'd get a challenge from the two of you. Rightfully, you two do belong to a different school. Honestly, I'm still a bit shocked, but I won't let my personal feelings get in the way of our battle!"

Lacey rub her chin. "What else... Ah, right. First of all, I should tell you two I mostly use Fairy-Type Pokemon. There's just nothing like an adorable pink fairy, right?"

"True." Renne said. "But I've seen Fairy type monsters back in the continent I'm from. They're not cute, but they are weak. Leaving that aside, I've done my research on Fairy Type Pokemon. They're based on cuteness, elegant, sweet nature, and representative of the fairy folks—as well as powers of purity and rejuvenation. They possess powers related to magic and the supernatural that opposes mental power. While that is true, they can also be sneaky, tricky, and dangerous. They're weak to Poison and Steel types while immuse to Dragon's power and having advantage against Dragon types, Dark Types and Fighting Types. Of course, you don't need me to tell you this since you're a Fairy Type expert."

Lacey giggled. "I have to say Renne. You're really put a lot of effort to study Fairy Type Pokemon. It is true about the things you said." She fold her arm. "I really do would like to talk about Fairys and cutness. But now isn't the right time." She look with determination.

(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Indigo Disk ost - Battle! BB League Elite Four)

"I'm planning on not holding back. I want to be sure you two walk away with a proper understanding, after all." Lacey got her Pokeball out. "That cutness is real strength!"

Florian chuckled. "You know Lacey. I think you'll get along great with friends that we know."

"Hortensia, Rosado. I think you'll be fast friends when it comes to cutness, elegance and grace. But let's see if cuteness will match up to maturity." Renne pull out her Pokeball. "Let's see if you can live up to your declaration."

Cuteness specialist - Lacey

"Gothitelle, your up!" Renne throw her Pokeball.

"You too, Cerledge!" Florian throw his Pokeball and said Pokemon came out of their Pokemon

"Gothitelle/Cerledge!"

"Now use Moonblast on Gothitelle Whimiscott!" Lacey command

"Whiiimscicott!" Whimscott channel a pink sphere in front of her and launch it toward Gothitelle.

"Light Screen Gothitelle!" Renne command as Gothitelle form a transparent barrier and block off the attack.

"Granbull, Play Rough on Gothitelle!" Lacey command as Granbull lung toward Gothitelle

"Cerledge, knock her away with Bitter Blade!" Florian command as Cerledge got in front of Gothitelle and then swing his purple flame blade at Granbull. "Now Sword Dance!"

"Cer!" Cerledge summon swords circling around him and increase his strength.

"Whimiscott, Hurricane!" Lacey command

"Whiiiiiiiim!" Whimiscott yelled, releasing a strong gust of wind from her mouth as Light Screen reduce the damage taken onto Cerledge and Gothitelle.

"Granbull, Stomping Tandrum!"

"Gran, gran graaan!" Granbull repeatedly stomping her feet and then one final stomp send splinters toward Cerledge and Gothitelle but Reflect reduce the attack.

"Celedge, Bitter Blade Whimoscott." Florian command as Cerledge's bladearm cloak in purple fire lung toward through the Tailwind.

"Granbull, stop Cerledge with your fist!" Lacey command

"Gran!" Granbull run toward Cerledge

"Psychic Granbull, Gothitelle." Renne command as Gothitelle's eyes glow blue and blueliners appeared on Granbull.

"Gran?!" Granbull flinched as Cerledge slash Whimiscott, dealing a Supereffective hit.

"Whim!" Whimiscott yelled in agony as she spun until recovered, until Future Sight came crashing down on her. "Whiiiim!"

"Whimscott!" Lacey yelled as Tailwind died down and Whimscott's eyes swirling. "Return!" She switch Pokeball. "Primarina, your up!" She tossed her next Pokeball and came out Primarina

"Priiim!" Primarina spread her arms and cheered

"Ah. My friend has a Primarina." Renne said.

"Really? Who's your friend?" Lacey asked

"Let's just say he's a prince among the water." Renne replied. "Now, Gothitelle, Future Sight!"

"Gothitelle!" Gothitelle spread her arms and channel an energy sphere and launch it into the sky and disappeared.

"Primarina, Hyper Voice!" Lacey command

"Primaaaaaaaaaa!" Primarina unleash a loud sound ring scream from her mouth toward Gothitelle and Cerledge.

"That's a normal type attack, it won't—"

"Ceeerrr!" Cerledge covered his unseen ears as he winch

"Huh?!"

"Hehe. You're right that Hyper Voice is a normal type move. However, my Primarina ability is called Liaquid Voice. It can change any sound-base voice into Water-Types Move." Lacey smirked

"Say what?!" Florian exclaimed

"Ah. That's a clever tactic." Renne said as Light Screen deactivated. "Oh dear. It seem Light screen is spent."

"Granbull, play rough with Gothitelle!"

"Gran!" Granbull lung toward and then pummel Gothitelle.

"Goth!" Gothitelle grunted.

"Gothitelle, Psychic!" Renne command.

"Goooth." Gothitelle's eyes glow blue as blue lines appeared on Granbull and then throw her toward Primarina.

"Prim!" Both of them grunted.

"Cerledge, take down Granbull with Bitter Blade!" Florian command

"Ceeer!" Cerledge's bladearm cloak in purple fire and lung toward Granbull who got back on, and then deal a powerful slash that also drain its HP.

"Granbuuuuuull!" Granbull yelled in agony and fell on her back with swirling eyes.

"Oh no!" Lacey gasped and then recalled Granbull and switch Pokeball. "Slowbro, you're up!" She toss the Pokeball and came out a Galarian Snowbro.

"Slowbro."

"A Slowbro?" Florian pull out his Pokedex.

"Slowbro. The Hermit Crab Pokemon. A Poison and Psychic type and Galarian Form. Galarian Slowbro is considered highly dangerous for its tendency to attack its surroundings indiscriminately, the reason for which is due to its Shellder sometimes unconsciously biting down hard on its arm."

"A Poison and Psychic Type?" Renne raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I know what you're thinking. But Slowbro is so cute. And perfect for my team despite the opposite." Lacey giggled.

"Okay then, either way." Florian pull his Pokeball. "Return!" He recalled Cerledge and switch Pokeball. "Meowscarada, you're up!" He toss his Pokeball and came out Meowscarada.

"Meow!" Meowscarada took his stand.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Florian?" Renne asked

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Besides, I've already prepare some tactics against Fairy Types." Florian wink with a grin.

"Then we shall see about that." Lacey swing her arm. "Slowbro, Shell Side Arm Meowscarada!"

"Slow!" Slowbro aim his hand and fired a stream of purple poison from the tip of Shellder.

"Agilty!" Florian command as Meowscada dodge. "Night Slash!"

"Meow!" Meowscarada teleported in front and then unleash a critical strike.

"SLOOOOOW!" Slowbrow yelled in agony as shes slid back and fell to her knees.

"Ah! That hit was direct! That's not right!" Lacey complain as she did her cross.

"Sorry Lacey, but I'm afraid it's right when it comes to battle and luck. You can't rule that out." Florian smirked

"Well aren't you getting ahead of yourself. Primarina, Moonblast Meowscarada!"

"Priiiiiim!" Primarina open her mouth as a pink sphere was forming and then launch toward Meowscarada.

"Gothitelle, intercept with Shadow Ball!" Renne command

"Goothitelle!" Gothitelle channel sphere of purple energy and toss it toward Moonblast and intercept, causing an explosion as Reflect deactivated.

"Slowbro, Flamethrower Meowscarada!" Lacey command

"Slow!" Slowbro aim his arm, forming a sphere of fire and then fire a stream fo slame toward Meowscada and hit him

"Meoow!" Meowscarada winched.

"Ah!" Florian gasped. "Meowscarada, you okay?!"

"Meowscarada, Night Slash Slowbro!" Florian yelled as Meowscarada's arm glow again dark green and lung toward and then deal a powerful slash on her.

"Sloooooow!" Slowbro was knocked away and fell on the ground with swirling eyes.

"Slowbro return!" Lacey recalled Slowbro and switched to her final Pokeball. "I get the feeling you two are stronger than I expected."

"Hehe. Yep. But with teamwork, we're even stronger." Florian chuckled.

"Knowing your Pokemon strengths and weaknesses, adding the pair to watch your back in a double battle shows me how strong your bonds are." Lacey toss and catch her Pokeball. "Well it's time for me to show you my bonds with my Pokemon! Excadrill!" She toss her Pokeball and came out Excadrill

(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Indigo Disk ost - Victory! (BB League Elite Four))

"I lost?" Lacey asked in disbeLeif and then frown. "Ooh. I hate losing..." She recalled Excadrill. "But you were so cute going all out~"

Meowscarada return to normal.

"You were awesome Meowscarada!" Florian hug Meowscarada.

"Meow~" Meowscarada cooed and nuzzling Florian.

"Hahaha! That tickles!"

"You did wonderful as always Gothitelle." Renne high five her.

"Gothitelle~" Gothitelle cooed

"Ooh your Meowscarada nuzzling you so cute! And the High Five with Gothitelle is also so cute!"

"You should have seen Gothitelle when she was a Gothita. She was so most adorable." Renne giggled as she pull out her Rotom Phone and show her a picture of Gothita and Renne hugging each other.

"Oh my gosh~ That's so cute!" Lacey cooed

"Gothitelle~" Gothitelle giggled.

"You got any other pictures?"

"Well there are a few with Gothita and me having a Tea Party." Renne answered

"A Tea Party? So sophisticated! Show me!" Lacey requested as Renne scroll down and then reveal the picture with Gothita drinking Tea with Renne. "So cute~ You're so lady-like, Renne. I can see how much Gothitelle is so mature?"

"She's acting like a Mother when she evolve into Gothitelle." Renne said

"Goth. Gothitelle." Gothitelle fold her arm.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Renne sighed.

"Hehe. Your bond with Gothitelle when she was so young is so cute, Renne."

"You should have seen with Meowscarada when he was a Sprigatito. He was so cute. And now he evolve into cool!"

"Meow~" Meowscarada scratch the back of his head sheepishly as he cheesy smile.

"Hehe. The Pokemon you two have are so cute... even through I only saw two for Florian and one for Renne." Lacey wipe her forehead. "Phew... You know, it's just not right for three people to hog all this cuteness between them. Why don't we wragle up the cute Pokemon here for a cute picture we can share withe everyone?"

"Sounds like a plan! Let's do it!" Florian pull out his Rotom Phone.

"Miniors, Venonat, Pikachu, Sinistea, and you too Granbull!" Lacey pull out her Pokeball and came out Granbull.

"Granbull." Granbull groaning.

"Don't you worry. Let's get you patch up after this photo. Come on!"

"Gran!" Granbull nodded as the Miniors, Pikachu, Venonat and the three Sinistea came in and join into the group photo with Florian, Renne, Gothitelle, Meowscarada and Lacey.

"Oooh, this one is just too cute! I'm going to make myself a backup copy or three." Lacey giggled

"You know, you'll definitely get along with Hortensia and Rosado." Renne said

"Oh, you mention them earlier. Who are they?"

"They're our friends. Hortensia is all about cuteness. Rosado is an artist if I recall. He love to draw and also admires cutness like how you do, Larcey." Florian answered

"Really? I would love to meet them someday."

"Maybe we should set up a visit event if the Academy allows it." Renne suggested

"Oh, of course the Academy allows it. All they have to do is visit the receptionist. Anyway, here you two." She pull out TMs. "These are proof of your cuteness."

"Thanks Lacey." Florian smiled.

"Honestly, you two are really strong when you get serious in battle. I wonder how far you'll be able to get off, facing off against the strongest Trainers in our school..."

"I imagine it will be quite the show." Renne said.

"Oh I can imagine! Welp. I better go heal my Pokemon. Take care you two!" Lacey waved goodbye as she and the Pokemon take off.

(BGM ended)

"So, wanna make a bet if Drayton show up?" Renne asked

"I don't think that's nessacary." Florian said as they turn and see Drayton approaching.

"Three Elite Four you two trounced now. Seeing the two of you have gotten far is making me sweat a little."

"Really? You are feeling afraid?" Renne smirk. "I thought you were just a laid-back person who doesn't care. I guess I misjudged you."

"Tease me all you want, Lacey's all about cuteness—and that's what helps her make her Pokemon stronger. She's so into her team, training the little cuties doesn't even like work to her. Wild, right? I bet the two of you are like that. You both work so hard at it' cause you like it!"

"Unlike you for example?" Florian asked

"I can't argue with you there, but that doesn't explain about how my Pokemon are strong. Oh and let's not forget a certain someone who seems busy running himself and everyone around him into the ground just to get a bit stronger."

"Of that, we can't argue..."

"Listen, I just ran into Lacey and she heard the news about what happen." Drayton scratch his hair. "I know I'm the guy who's to blame but... again, I want to apologize for Kieran. I imagine Carmine heard the news too. She didn't call you guys, right?"

"Oh, she called. She also sorry for what Kieran said. I won't let Kieran's behavior get the better of us though."

"I see..." Drayton sighed. "Anyway, seeing the two of your skills up close and personally really leaves an impression."

"So you were observing us." Florian fold his arm.

"Maybe. But I can see why it had such an effect on Kieran. Even though he gone off the rail. Speaking of him, I guess your Elite Fourth match is gonna be against me. It's nice that the two of you save the best for last. You gave me plenty of time to get ready. I'll see you two in my home turf." He wave goodbye and take off.

"Yep. Our final challenge is the formal strongest." Florian said.

"Right. Let's go heal our Pokemon." Renne suggested and they take off.


One Pokemon healing later...

(Super Mario Galaxy ost - Freezeflame Galaxy (Ice))

"Brrrr!" Florian shivered himself as he pull out his Rotom ARCUS Alpha, tap a few buttons and put on his Winter clothes. "Phew. Man, the Polar Biome lives up to it name."

"I imagine we'll meet many Ice-type Pokemon here." Renne said, wearing her winter outfit.

"Well it is a cold place."

"True. But we'll also encounter other Pokemon from this biome. One of the Pokemon I'm searching for."

"In that case, let's go cat some Pokemon!" Florian declared as they take off.

They journey through the cold of the Polar Biome as they encounter a large water area filled with Seel, Dewgong, Hoseas, Seadras, Lapras, Qwilfish, Piplups, Finneons, Lumineon, Oshawott, and floating the water are Solosis, Duosion, Reuniclus and Milcery.

As always, Florian went to the water with Koraidon and catches each one he's captures, taking 30 minute break while Renne wonder around until she encounter Sandshews anf Vulpix in Alolan form. Renne decided to capture them. Renne also found a Porygon which also decided to capture. Finally, she encounter a Beldum. She battle it with Glaceon and defeated it and capturing it.

Renne begin to switch her Maushold for Beldum and welcome him to the team.

Florian return after catching and they resume their journey. The encounter new Pokemon that Renne caught previously. Florian go for is and then Renne begin to battle nearby trainers and using her new Pokemon to battle. She won and gain some money. After Florian catch some new Pokemon, they made their way until they encounter Ice Stones and other items like Never-Melt-Ice, Stardusts, Pretty Feathers, Icy Rock and Tiny Mushrooms.

As they continue onward, they encounter a trainer for a double battle. They defeated the trainer and Beldum evolve into Metang. They continue onward until they reach the Polar Plaza.

"Oh we finally made it." Florian said as they went to the healing machine to heal there Pokemon. "And done!"

"Now we can move on to the final Elite Four Challenge. I'm sure we can handle it, considering that the two of us are... you know." Renne nodded

"Yeah. The Elite Four are strong. There is no question. Maybe they may be in par with the Elite Four of Paldea. Or at least the Gym Leaders."

"Indeed. Let's not keep Drayton waiting." Renne said as they walk to the receptionist. "Excuse us, we're here for the Elite Trial for Drayton."

"All right. All you gotta do is pay 50 BP and you two can take on the Elite Trial." The Receptionist said

"Whoa, hold up!" Drayton came in. "My friends here gets in free!"

"Wait, a-are you sure about that Drayster? The rules say—"

"Just charge it to my account. That oughta take care of it, yeah?"

The receptionist sighed. "I don't think that— Oh fine. I'll make an exception."

"Many thanks, my man." Drayton chuckled. "And here are one of my two champs! Thanks for coming. Come on. Let's hit the battle court real quick." He said as they take off to the battle court. "And here we are! Polar Plaza battle court! Ain't it majestic?"

"Um..." Florian scratch his cheek.

"Let me guess, you're gonna say it's just like every battle court in the other plaza? Yeah, can't argue with you there. And this place is colder than the rest. I'm a cold-weather kinda guy. Not what you'd expect from a Dragon-type user, right?"

"I guess so? But then again, I do have a Baxcalibur who is a Dragon and Ice type. I'm sure he doesn't mind this place."

"Oh yeah. Those Pokemon are from Paldea, yeah? I actually did my study on them. They sound like the perfect Pokemon partner to have. Especially loving this cold." Drayton chuckled and then casually wrap his arms behind his neck. "All right, that's enough of the chit-chat. Let's hop on to the Elite Trial! And I call my Elite Trial Terarium-Only Battles!"

"Terarium-Only Battle?" Florian raised an eyebrow

"Yep. Your goal's to clubber there of your fellow League Clubbers in battle. Simple enough, right?"

"That's is? That sounds simple enough."

"Wait a moment. There's a catch to it." Renne said.

"Spot on, Renne. The reason is called Terarium-Only because you can only use Pokemon that meet two conditions. The first one is you gotta catch Pokemon living wild in the Terarium! Second, YOU gotta be the one who caught 'em! Unless your whole party of Pokemon meet those conditions, no Elite Trial for you."

"Ah, so that's the condition." Florian said and then smirked. "Haha! Then good news for me because I got a whole bunch of Pokemon here!"

"I also caught some Pokemon here too. I think it satisfied both conditions for the trial." Renne said. "Since we're partners taking the trials, we're going to use Three Pokemon from the Teratrium, correct?"

"Pretty much! Save me the explanation. Yoru opponents are also under the same conditions, too. So you don't have to worry about that. I take it the two of you are ready?"

"We're ready!" Florian smirked.

"In that case." Drayton turn to his left. "That's your cue, underlings! C'mon out!" He yelled and then three students came running.

"We're ready!" They declared.

"Wait, let me change and check out my Pokemon who are going to fight!" Florian pull his Rotom Phone and begin taping.

"I should do the same." Renne said as she does the same.

(BGM ended)

"Ah! Sandslash, Dewdong!" The BB student yelled and then recalled her Pokemon. "Aww, man I lost..." She took off.

"All right, my turn!" The final BB student approached with two Pokeballs ready. "Let's go, Bastiodon, Rampardo!" He toss his Pokeball and came out said Pokemon as they roared.

"Good battle/Good-bye/See ya!" The BB Students take off.

"Aren't they great? No grumbling or nothing. Buncha sweethearts."

"Tkae your time." Drayton waved as they take off.


One Pokemon healing later...

"All right, now it's finally time for our battle. So you'll be using the party you used together, right?" Drayton asked

Florian shook his head. "I'm afraid they're still inexperienced when it comes to challenging battles. They need time to accustom to battle."

"So we plan on using the Pokemon we originally plan to. I hope that's all right." Renne said

"It's no problem at all. I don't blame ya for that decision." Drayton nodded. "Let's get into position. He said as they got into positions. "Y'know, I was thinking about the looks you two get when you're in battle..."

"Oh?" Renne mused. "Care to elaborate?"

"It's something I realized when I was watching from the sidelines. You were holding back some of your strength, weren't you?"

"Oh?"

"I guess you would notice, considering you're an experience trainer." Florian said. "But you are wrong about one thing. It's true that we were holding back. But for our new Pokemon like Flygon, they were using their full strength. Were it our originally team or my Pokemon, then I would say we were holding back."

"That's right? Do you remember bout our conversation about the Cafeteria yesterday?" Drayton asked

"I remember."

"I'm still counting on you two to conquer the whole BB League. But only one of you can be the real conqueror. Course, there's nothing wrong with vice-president. But regardless of who will face you know who, I need you two to pull this off! You gotta come through for me! That said. I'm not just gonna roll over and miss out on the fun. So watch out."

"Hehe. We should tell you that." Renne giggled. "Because we won't be making it easy for you either."

(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Indigo Disk ost - Battle! BB League Elite Four)

"But most of all. Let's this be a fun battle." Florian got his Pokeball out. "Hold that your blood boils Drayton."

"Hehe. Of course. I'm so psyched I'm practically tingling." Drayon got two of his Pokeballs out. "Let's go, my buds. Show me a good time!"

"Come on out, Glaceon!" Renne throw her Pokeball.

"Your up, Flygon, Dragonite!" Drayton throw his Pokeballs and came out said Pokemon.

"Glaceon, Snowscape!" Renne command

"Glaaaace!" Glaceon howl, summoning cluds and bringing more snow.

"Adding more cold? Fine by me. Flygon, Stone Edge Glaceon!"

"Aaaar/ Haaxrous!" His Pokemon took their stand.

"Kingdra, time for a Rain Dance!" Drayton yelled

"Kuu!" Kingdra summon dark rain clouds, replacing the snow with heavy rain pour onto the battlefields.

"Raining now?" Florian look up.

"Use Hurricane on Glaceon!" Drayton yelled

Drayton laughed. "Hahahaha! Woohoo! Bravo!" He recalled Archaludon, Baxcalibur change back, and approached. "That was a lot more fun than I thought. I knew inviting the two of you to join the League Club was the right move! Since the two of you beaten me, I say we outta make you both full members! Whaddya say? Ready to be the real deal?"

"It was fun so why not?" Florian smiled

"Hahah! Bless you and your generous heart!"

"Well, I do need to train my Pokemon so why not?" Renne shrug.

"Good to hear! C'mon! Let's get a photo of you for being in the club roaster!" Drayton declared as they begin to take a photo together with the peace sign. "Lacey probably woulda wanted a more serious photo. She might not be thrilled, but oh well. I feel like there was one more thing I'm supposed to do..."

"Like the TM?" Renne asked

"Oh right! The TMs! We gotta give those out to whoever can beat the Elite Four members! Hang on, I gotta go grab that. Wait here a sec."

"Take your time." Florian said as Drayton take off.

"Looks like we finally made it, hmm?" Renne fold her arms.

"Um... this looks a bit dirty." Florian examine the TM.

"Yeah, I kinda forgot to clean it but hey, what's a little dust between friends?"

"I think you're too lazy to even clean." Renne replied

"No arguments there. Anyway, you both schooled every Elite One of us Elite Four. You know what's next for you, right, my buds?"

"Yeah." Florian nodded. "Our final battle with Kieran. BB Champion."

(BGM ended)

Florian turn his head. "And speak of the devil."

"You really kept me waiting." Kieran approached.

"Kieran." Florian muttered his name. "What do you want now. Are you here for another slander?"

"Slander? Please. I only spoken the truth. But I'm more focus on you, Florian. Just waiting and waiting that chance to beat you, and even given you a punch for smacking me in the face."

"You brought it upon yourself."

"Whatever, like I give a shit anyway. We'll settle the score between us, and this game of Drayton will be done with it." Kieran glared and then turned his back. "But I do wonder though, will you invite this murderer to join me against me? Cause if you are, guess you really have gotten weak. Just as you were doing the whole time. So that declaration earlier was just a farce."

"That declaration was real, just as I did with that punch. So you better prepare yourself. Because once, I've taken you down, you'll be begging for forgiveness."

"We shall see." Kieran take off.

(BGM ended)

"And there he goes." Renne said, noticing Florian clenching his fist.

"It's finally time, you two." Drayton said. "I'm pumped for you. We'll have to go sign you or one of you up at the front desk to get your Championship match going."

"Right. Let's go heal our Pokemon. But after that. Let them catch some break. Then. It's time to settle the score with Kieran once and for all."

"Doctor. I am no longer the seventh Anguis of Ouroboros." Emblem Arianrhod reminded him

"Ah, yes, right, right. You are Emblem Arianrhod. You may be an imitation of the late Steel Maiden, but who to say that can't old colleague communicate one another? Anyway, Noel what's this you're researching?"

"Tera Crystals." Noel answered "A crystal with special properties that effects only Pokemon. I wanted to research on why this crystal is very... valuable so to speak. I do know that the crystals hold amplified powers. It holds similarities with the Spetium Veins."

"Really? I'll admit, this does pique my curiosity. What else can you tell me about them?"

"Well I hacked into Paldea's Pokemon League and discovered that whatever energy these crystals. Although the source remains a mystery, I did learn very sensitive information. It turns out this Professor Turo and Sada made a time machine using this very energy. It seems this energy has some temporal properties."

"You don't say..." Nofarvtis mused, rubbing his chin. "Now I'm really curious to learn more about it. Noel, where did you say this energy from?"

"Paldea. Why?"

"Then let us make our way there."

Noel turn with a disbelief look. "What?"
