Episode 309: A Deadly Alliance: Water
And here is the final team-up of Zell and the Elemental Bosses. Before we get this chapter started, I thought I shall share that Zell would try to take out Sora on his own, but it might be his last attempt to do so. But I won't share with how Zell's final downfall will go. As for the Elemental Bosses, I might have an idea on how their final downfall might go. So here it is and I hope you shall enjoy it.
Shortly after defeating Brandon and earning his seventh and final Frontier Symbol, Sora looked over the seven Frontier Symbols he won and he thinks back about the battles he had with each one of them. Noland, Greta, Tucker, Lucy, Spenser, Anabel, and finally, Brandon himself. Sora then took out his Pokémon Box and he exchanged Swellow, Metagross, Suicune, Zapdos, and Moltres for Manectric, Breloom, Cacturne, Shiftry, and Ludicolo. Kairi sat down next to her boyfriend.
"Are you still thinking about earlier, Sora?" Kairi asked.
"You know how to read to me, Kairi," Sora said.
"What can I say? You're easy for me to read. If you were a book, you would be a bestseller," Kairi said. The couple laughed.
"And then the whole world would read me," Sora joked. Sora and Kairi laughed again.
"Okay, getting back on track, you sure you wanna turn that down, Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I mean it'll be cool to have my own facility, but it's not for me. I'd understand if Ash, Riku, Brendan, Leaf, Brendan, May, Naminé, Tai, Davis, Yugi, Max, Takato, Takuya, or maybe even you took the offer to be Frontier Brains, and I would respect the choice you make," Sora said. This made Kairi smile.
"You're right, Sora. And even if you did agree to take the position, I would respect your choice, and I would have stuck with you. Also, you remember that our mission to gather other Keyblade candidates is also important, too," Kairi said.
"Well, that's the main reason I turned it down, Kairi. That, and I like to travel and see the world," Sora said.
"I thought as much," Kairi said.
After a hearty talk, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Michael, Lisia, Zinnia, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, Celeste, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, and Aster continued on their way towards Sootopolis City. Kairi has exchanged Gardevoir for Masquerain. A little while later, they came across a couple of girls. One is taller than the other and they both wore what looks like a school uniform. They looked directly at Sora and Kairi.
"Excuse us, but you think maybe you could have a battle with us?" One of the girls asked.
"We're out looking for some tough Trainers to battle against, and you two look pretty tough," the other girl said, pointing at Sora and Kairi.
"Think we should take them up on their offer, Kairi?" Sora asked.
"Why not? I do need to make up for being sick the Purika Pokemon Contest," Kairi said.
"Okay. And I'm gonna need a warm-up for my upcoming Gym battle," Sora said.
"Okay! This'll be a tag battle, and we will each use two Pokémon, so that makes four a team," the first girl said.
"And the team who takes out the opposing team's Pokémon wins!" The second girl said.
"Okay, you're on!" Sora and Kairi said in unison. The girls each took out a Great Ball and threw them.
"Go! Sealeo!" The first girl shouted.
"You're going in, Tentacruel!" The second girl shouted.
Both a Sealeo and a Tentacruel emerged from inside, ready to battle. Sora and Kairi each took out a Pokéball and threw ithe.
"Go for it, Manectric!" Sora called out.
"Go! Roserade!" Kairi called out.
Both Manectric and Roserade emerged from inside, ready to battle.
"This'll be something," Zinnia said.
"Sealeo! Use Aurora Beam on Roserade!" The first girl ordered.
"Tentacruel! Poison Sting on Manectric!" The second girl ordered.
Sealeo and Tentacruel fired their chosen attacks at their opponents.
"Dodge!" Sora and Kairi called out.
"Roserade! Use Magical Leaf on Sealeo!" Kairi ordered.
"Manectric! Shock Wave on Tentacruel!" Sora ordered.
Manectric and Roserade unleashed their attacks on Sealeo and Tentacruel, landing some heavy damage due to their weakness to Grass and Electric-type moves.
"You can't do that to my partner and get away with it! Tentacruel! Use Sludge Bomb on Roserade!" The second girl ordered. Tentacruel fired Sludge Bomb at the Bouquet Pokémon.
"Dodge and use Venoshock!" Kairi ordered. Roserade had unleashed Venoshock, landing a hit on Tentacruel. It dealt little damage to Tentacruel due to its resistance against Poison-type moves. "Use Petal Blizzard!" Roserade had unleashed a flurry of flower petals at the Jellyfish Pokémon.
"Sealeo! Use Ice Beam on Roserade!" The first girl ordered.
"Manectric! Thunder Fang!" Sora ordered. Manectric rushes at Sealeo and lands an electrified bite on the Ball Roll Pokémon.
"Thanks for the save, Sora," Kairi said.
"Anytime, Kairi. You'd do the same for me," Sora said. This made Kairi smile.
"It's actually very sweet, seeing a couple like those two in so much love," the second girl said.
"Yes, but don't get distracted. We can still win this," the first girl said. "Sealeo! Aurora Beam on Roserade!"
"Tentacruel! Use Poison Sting on Manectric!" The second girl ordered.
Sealeo and Tentacruel fired their attacks at their targets.
"Dodge it!" Sora and Kairi called out. Manectric and Roserade did their best to dodge, but they were hit. Manectric became poisoned by Tentacruel's Poison Sting. "Man, this isn't good."
"Don't worry, Sora. We still got this," Kairi said.
"Yeah, we do! Manectric! Use Quick Attack on Sealeo!" Sora ordered. Manectric charges at Sealeo, landing a hit.
"Roserade! Petal Blizzard all around!" Kairi ordered. Roserade unleashed another Petal Blizzard and lands a hit on both of Sealeo and Tentacruel. Both Sealeo and Tentacruel were knocked out. The girls callsed their fallen Pokémon back and took regular Pokéballs.
"Alright, Raichu! Go!" The first girl called out.
"I choose you, Wigglytuff!" The second girl shouted.
A Wigglytuff and a Kantonian Raichu emerged from inside, ready to battle. Sora and Kairi called back Manectric and Roserade and took out their other Pokéballs and threw them.
"You're up, Aggron!" Sora called out.
"Go! Milotic!" Kairi called out.
Both Aggron and Milotic emerged from inside, ready to battle.
"Wigglytuff! Use Ice Punch on Milotic!" The second girl ordered.
"Raichu! Use Thunderbolt on Milotic, too!" The first girl ordered.
"Aggron! Use Rock Slide to block!" Sora ordered. Aggron uses Rock Slide to block Raichu and Wigglytuff's attacks. "Flash Cannon on Wigglytuff!" Aggron fired a Flash Cannon at the Balloon Pokémon, dealing some heavy damage.
"Miltotic! Breaking Swipe on Raichu!" Kairi ordered. Miltotic swings her tail and lands a hit on Raichu. "Now, use Hydro Pump!" Milotic fired Hydro Pump and sends it right at Raichu.
"Dodge it, Raichu!" The first girl called out. Raichu dodged Milotic's Breaking Swipe just by jumping. "Thunderbolt!" Raichu fired a Thunderbolt, heading towards Milotic.
"Dodge and use Dragon Dance!" Kairi ordered. Milotic dodged and danced around, building up her speed and attack. "Hydro Pump!" Milotic fired Hydro Pump, hitting Raichu.
"Wigglytuff! Use Double Slap on Milotic!" The second girl ordered.
"Aggron! Metal Claw!" Sora ordered. Aggron came at Wigglytuff and swiped his claws against Wigglytuff, dealing some heavy damage due to its weakness against Steel-type attacks. "Kairi, let's wrap this up!"
"I'm right behind you, Sora!" Kairi agreed. "Milotic! Hydro Pump!"
"Aggron! Flash Cannon!" Sora ordered.
Aggron and Milotic fired their attacks, hitting Raichu and Wigglytuff. Both opposing Pokémon were taken down, leaving the two girls stunned.
"We lost!" The girls both exclaimed.
"Good job, you guys!" Sora said as he and Aggron hi-five each other. Milotic nuzzles Kairi very affectionately.
"You were wonderful, Milotic," Kairi said.
"I gotta say, you two are quite a team," the second girl said.
"She's right. It was quite a thrill," the first girl said.
"Thanks. You two gave it your all," Sora said.
"And you raised your Pokémon very well," Kairi said.
The girls smiled at the compliment, not caring that they lost.
Unknown to them, Zell and Ozean were watching them closely.
"And there they are. Our target is just within reach of us," Ozean said.
"Then, we should move in and take him out right now!" Zell hissed.
"Hold on. First we must play this smart," Ozean said.
"Look! I have been patient with you so far, but there is a limit of how patient someone like me will get, so if you wanna sit around, sucking your thumb, then that's on you! I wanna finish what I started, and if you're the strongest Elemental Boss, then you better not disappoint me like those other three losers you got me working with did!" Zell stated.
"You can trust me, Zell. This time, we cannot fail," Ozean said.
"We better not, water boy! This is your last chance," Zell said.
Meanwhile, Looker has returned to the international police headquarters when the head of the international police has approached Looker. He knew it was something big going on.
"Is there something going on, sir?" Looker asked.
"I'm afraid so, Looker. We just got word from the Sinnoh region. Everyone will have to hear it. Come with me," the head of the international police said. Looker sat at a desk with several other officers as the head of the international police spoke. "Alright, there is a great matter that has been brought to my attention. The criminal organization calling itself Team Galactic has surfaced."
"Team Galactic?" One of the officers asked.
"Sounds like some sort of sci-fi group," another officer said.
"Let me finish. This bit of news have come from Lester. Let's hear what he has to say," the head of the international police said as Lester has approached. "Lester, if you would."
"Of course, sir," Lester said. He cleared his throat. "Team Galactic has recently announced their existence to the Sinnoh region. The identity of members have yet been discovered as well as their motives. But from what I can gather, they are a sophisticated bunch; more so than the Pokémon Hunter calling herself 'J'. It's believed that Team Galactic may be following in the footsteps of Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, or Team Shadow since world domination or destruction are the most likely scenarios. And for that reason, I strongly recommend that immediate action be taken and investigations to begin at once."
"So after some careful thought, I have decided to assign my best officers on the case. And you too, Mullock. Team Galactic is a force to be reckoned with, so don't underestimate them," the head of the international police said. The officers all took their leave and headed out.
"No surprise that the big boss wants Looker on the case," one of the officers said.
"I'm with you. After that raid on Team Rocket and what happened back in Hoenn, he's the perfect choice," another officer said.
"How do you think Lester got the info on Team Galactic?" The first officer asked.
"Probably an informate in Sinnoh," the second officer said.
"Hey! Get your rears in gear! We got work to do!" A high-ranking officer shouted.
"Sir!" The two officers said.
The international police officers boarded their helicopters and started to make flight towards the Sinnoh region to begin their investigation on Team Galactic.
After their tag battle, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Lisia, Zinnia, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, Celeste, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, and Aster have taken a boat to the next island to explore and train. Sora had trained with Michael as Ventus had let out a Charmander from a Pokéball.
Ventus rescued the little Charmander and nicknamed it Zippo. It turns out that Zippo was caught against his will by Team Shadow to become a Shadow Pokémon until Ventus rescused the Lizard Pokémon. Ventus was playing with Sparky and Zippo as Karen was brushing the fur of a Meowth Karen has retrieved in Orre. Karen figured it was female, so she placed green ribbons on the whiskers top of its head, and around its neck, indicating that its female.
Karen has come across this Meowth who was scavenging for scraps and then nuzzled against Karen's leg. When she looked at the Scratch Cat Pokémon, her heart melted and she decided to have this Meowth for herself, and she was proud of how she and Blossom have hit it off.
"There, who's a pretty kitty?" Karen cooed.
"Meowth," the Meowth purred.
"That's right, you are," Karen cooed again. The Meowth purred as Karen cuddled her. The moment was ruined when it suddenlt started to rain. "Wait a minute, I don't remember it raining today."
"What's going on?" Ventus asked. He quickly called Zippo back inside his Pokeball.
"It can't be Kyogre again, can it?" Michael asked.
"No, it's not. It could only be-" Sora was cut off when a familiar trident jabs the ground and Ozean appeared from out of the rain. Zell came along afterwards.
"We meet again, Ketchum," Ozean said.
"Ozean!" Sora exclaimed.
"And it's that Zell guy again!" Ventus gasped.
"Is he another one of those Elemental Bosses, Sora?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, he is," Sora said. "Not only that, but he's the toughest of the four Elemental Bosses."
"Elemental Bosses? That guy I saw before then, who's the other guy?" Zinnia asked.
"That's Zell. He has it in for Sora because he took down a criminal organization based in the Kanto region called Team Rocket," Lisia said.
"Team Rocket? Who are they?" Zinnia asked.
"Team Rocket was a band of crooks who went around and stole Pokémon from other Trainers and uses Pokémon to commit all sorts of crimes. There was no forgiving Team Rocket for what they do," Aqua said.
"The Elemental Bosses idolizes Team Rocket, too, so they joined up with Zell," Lisia said.
"Now that the introductions are out of the way, we can get this party started," Ozean said.
"Now, it's my chance to wring you dry, Ketchum," Zell said.
"Right after we drown you like a Raticate," Ozean cruelly stated.
"You're gonna have to try," Sora said, summoning his Kingdom Key as Kairi and Michael joined in and summoned their Keyblades, ready to engage Zell and Ozean.
"Oh, I'll do more than try. I may have been beaten by you the last time, but that isn't going to happen a second time," Ozean said as he manipulates the water and sends it towards the Keyblade wielders. They placed their Keyblades in front of them to deflect the water assault as Zell came at Sora to strike him down, but Sora casts a blizzard spell, hitting Zell, sending backwards. Kairi casts a flower spell, sending it at Zell. She engulfs him in the flower petals.
"You think this is gonna slow me down?! You're gonna have to do a whole lot better than that, red!" Zell said as he unleashed a dark shock wave, making Sora, Kairi, and Michael skidding backwards. Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt as Angel fired Swift. Zell swings his Keyblade to deflect Swift as Ozean redirects Pikachu's Thunderbolt with his trident. Ozean fired a turquoise beam of energy from his trident and it heads for Pikachu. Xipak uses Thunderbolt to help him. Xipak's Thunderbolt and Ozean's attacks collides, resulting in an explosion.
"Not too shabby. Now, here I come!" Ozean said, rushing at Sora. He and Sora clashed their weapons against one another. Sora and Ozean kept on clashing their weapons, making sparks fly. Ozean attempts to impale Sora with his trident, but Sora dodged it.
Zell clashed his Keyblade against Kairi and Michael. He managed to push Kairi as Michael clashed against Zell.
"You think you're a Keyblade wielder? Don't make me laugh. That Keyblade is wasted on you," Zell said.
"That's what I was thinking about you," Michael said as he pushed Zell and Kairi casts a crystal fire spell, hitting Zell. She then casts her thunder and crystal thunder spells to catch him off guard.
"Feeling frustrated, Zell? Having a hard time focusing?" Kairi asked.
"Don't act so smug! I'm gonna make you eat those words! They'll be the last thing you ever eat!" Zell said, rushing at Kairi, but she blocked with her Keyblade, making them clash. Angel and Celeste rushed at Zell and they combine their Quick Attack, hitting Zell. He attempts to hit them with his fire, blizzard, and thunder spells, but they were too fast for him. Michael attempts to help Kairi out.
"Kairi!" Michael said.
"I got him! You help Sora!" Kairi said.
"On it!" Michael said.
Michael rushes to Sora and Ozean as they kept clashing their weapons. Ozean forms an orb of water and he sends it at Sora, hitting him. He forms a broadsword made out of water and he attempts to stab Sora with it when Michael uses his Keyblade to cancel out Ozean's strike.
"You're not too shabby. But you're no match for me," Ozean said.
"You're not the first guy to ever say that to me, and you won't be the last," Michael said. Ozean swung the water sword at Michael, but he blocked, making them clash their weapons. Ozean swings his trident at Michael, making him dodge as Pikachu and Xipak dashed at Ozean, getting him by the legs. He dropped the sword, making it vaporate into water. Sora then casts a blizzard spell, freezing Ozean in it.
"That should cool you off," Sora said.
"You're kidding, right? Did you forget about my element?!" Ozean exclaimed as he makes the water melt and he freezes it into ice spears.
"What the?!" Sora gasped.
"That's right, Ketchum! I should have mentioned that I can also freeze water and weaponize ice last time," Ozean said. He swings his trident, making it emit ice. "I was going to just drown you, but instead, I'll just have to freeze you to death!"
He sends the ice spears at Sora, Michael, Pikachu, and Xipak. They dodged and the ice spears impales the nearby trees, scaring the wild Taillow, Swellow, Swablu, and Altaria, making them fly away.
Ozean has made several knives, daggers, and tomahawks out of ice and he sends them right at Sora, Michael, and the two Pikachu, intending to chop them up.
Seeing this, Kairi jumped as Zell attempts to strike her down. Kairi got in front of Sora, Michael, Pikachu, and Xipak. She casts a strong reflect spell, blocking the ice weapons.
"Stop trying to kill my man!" Kairi shouted, sending the ice weapons back. Ozean deflects the weapons with his trident, making them shatter. Zell rushes at the three Keyblade wielders and he casts a fire spell, but Sora guards against it as Michael came at Zell, but he gave him a punch in the face.
Ozean unleashed his own blizzard, freezing Sora and Kairi.
"Kairi," Sora said.
"Sora," Kairi said.
"How about we end this together?" Ozean suggested.
"The first good idea you said all day," Zell said.
Zell and Ozean unleashed a combo of ice and darkness, sending them right at the couple. Everyone were exclaiming in terror as they were about to be caught in the blast. Pikachu and Angel could only watch helplessly, knowing it was the end.
"Sora, Kairi!" Karen gasped.
Just before they were hit, a bright red and blue light shines around Sora and Kairi. Their attacks dissolve as Sora and Kairi used the Latios Luster and Latias Love to melt the ice.
"Sora, Kairi! They're okay!" Aqua happily exclaimed.

"They got brand new Keyblades to boot!" Ventus said.
"Actually, they had those since fight with Fue," Lisia said.
Zell and Ozean were shocked to see that the couple were still alive after that.
"No way! How did they survive that?!" Zell exclaimed.
"They couldn't have! I'm sure of it!" Ozean said.
"Sora, Kairi! I'm glad you two are in one piece!" Michael said.
"So are we, Michael," Kairi said.
"Since we didn't die, how about we make these two regret picking a fight with us?" Sora suggested.
"I like that idea!" Michael said.
"Ditto!" Kairi said.
"Some plan," Zell scoffed. Ozean said nothing as Sora swings his two Keyblades against Ozean. Zell tried to strike Sora, but he uses his Latios Luster to block as Pikachu gave Zell a Quick Attack on the back and Angel gave Ozean a Headbutt on his crotch. Ozean yelped in pain as Xipak and Celeste gave him an Iron Tail on his feet, making him trip. Kairi and Michael swung their Keyblades at Zell, so he was quickly overpowered by Kairi's two Keyblades.
Ozean rejoins the fight, attempting to impale Michael, but Sora gave him a kick on his leg and then shoves him back down. Sora, Kairi, and Michael gave Ozean and Zell a combo slash with their Keyblades, defeating Zell and Ozean again. The rain then stopped.
"Yeah! They kicked their butts!" Ventus cheered.
"And it stopped raining," Karen said.
Sora, Kairi, Michael, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste approached their fallen opponents.
"I guess you guys joining up to take us on was a big mistake on your part," Sora said.
"For once, I have to agree with you," Zell said, trying to swing his Keyblade at Sora, but he dodged it.
"You haven't had enough, eh?" Sora asked.
"I won't ever give up," Zell said.
"And neither will I," Ozean said.
They attempted to attack when a blast of light sends them flying into the air. They went all the way to the other side of the island.
"Where did that come from?" Terra asked.
"From me," a familiar voice spoke. The group turned to see Hikaru, holding his Keyblade in his hand.
"Hikaru!" Sora said.
"Hello, everyone. Glad I could make it," Hikaru said.
"And just in time, too. Thanks for the save," Kairi said.
"But how did you find us?" Karen asked.
"Well, after I placed a magic spell around the Red and Blue Orbs to make certain that no one with evil intentions can abuse their powers again, I returned to Mossdeep City only to find out that you left, and I knew you would be heading for Sootopolis City next. I ran into a Trainer who said he knows you and told me that you were on this island, and I noticed the unusual weather phenomenon, and I knew trouble when I saw it. I made it just in time for the end of the fight, and you already know where that light came from," Hikaru explained.
"You're a lot like Ben, Hikaru," Sora said.
"Who's this?" Zinnia asked.
"Oh, that's right. This guy is Hikaru Ōkami. He's Ben's apprentice," Sora said.
"Nice to meet you," Zinnia said.
"Likewise. But I do suggest that you have yourselves a good hot bath to prevent yourselves from catching phenomena from those wet clothes," Hikaru said.
"That's not a bad idea. I could use a good bath," Lisia said.
With that said, the group went with Hikaru to have a hot bath while Ben dried off their clothes, and he knew a very good spot.
Meanwhile, the other three Elemental Bosses were waiting for Zell and Ozean to come back. Not too long, Zell and Ozean returned to the other Elemental Bosses. Ozean was wounded from the fight as Zell just panted as he grits his teeth.
"I do not believe this! You're all so very weak! Not one of you could beat him, and he whopped me again, all because you were all holding me back! I should have known better than to rely on the likes of you! Especially you!" Zell accused, pointing to Ozean.
"Hey, you weren't actually invincible yourself, Zell!" Rokku hissed.
"I'm with him! You were pretty pathetic yourself," Luft said.
"I wouldn't have agreed to join forces with you if we knew you were such a loser!" Fue stated.
"I'm a loser?! Ha! You guys are the real losers, not me! You four have all these powers and not one of you could beat that Ketchum kid! I have had it with you four! From this day on, I work alone! And if any one of you get in my way, I'll kill all four of you!" Zell said, taking his leave.
"Yeah, well, who needs you? Don't expect any warm fuzzies from us, you wuss!" Rokku shouted after Zell.
"I still can't that all four of us teamed up with that guy just to kill Sora Ketchum! How could it gone wrong?" Luft asked.
"What do you have to say about this, Ozean? You harldy said a word since you got here," Fue said. Ozean stood up and he looked over to the ocean.
"Taking him on individually didn't work. Joining forces with a likely ally didn't work. I am beginning to think, maybe we have done something wrong," Ozean said.
"Yeah? What?" Rokku asked.
"We shall do it together. All four of us!" Ozean said.
"All four at once?" Luft asked.
"He has his friends to help him out. We'll be outnumbered," Fue pointed.
"I am well aware of that fact. And I have a plan that'll fix it. And fortunately for the three of you, we have time to make our strategy. But it'll only work when we all work together. And there will be no mistakes this time," Ozean said.
"No mistakes," Rokku said.
"No mistakes," Luft said.
"No mistakes," Fue said.
"And next time, we do not leave until Sora Ketchum is dead," Ozean stated. The rest of the Elemental Bosses all agree with the new plan.
With that said, the Elemental Bosses decide to work on. This could be their last chance to finally realize their revenge.
Back with the group, Hikaru has prepared a bath for each one in the group while Hikaru hung out their clothes to dry. Hikaru had made good use of his earth magic, making a small lake, and he also makes good use of his water magic, making it warm for everyone. He gathered some firewood to make the fire burn for the warm water. But Hikaru had to make sure that the boys and girls were separated, so he made an earth wall. The group has changed into their swimsuits. Zinnia wore a green two piece swimsuit with red streaks as Lisia wore a pink bikini with a pink skirt. Karen wore a yellow one piece swimsuit.
"Ah, this hits the spot," Sora sighed.
"It's a good thing Hikaru came by otherwise, we would have been slurping soup in a few minutes," Michael said.
"Gotta hand it Hikaru. He sure knows how to draw a nice bath," Sora said.
"I agree. He could have his own business if he wanted to. It'll be popular for people and Pokémon," Terra said.
Over to the girls, they sighed as they were enjoying their bath.
"It feels like I've died and gone to heaven," Lisia said.
"I know how you feel, Lisia. I feel like I could soak in here for days," Aqua said.
"It's no wonder your name is Aqua. You and that Ozean guy could be related to each other," Zinnia joked.
"Not a chance," Aqua said.
"I'm so glad Hikaru made this for us. A way for us to relax," Karen said.
"And not worry about some perverted boys peeking at us," Zinnia said.
"Sora isn't like that," Kairi said.
"And neither is Terra," Aqua said.
"Also, Hikaru made sure that doesn't happen. He said he's got eyes like a Pidgeot," Karen said.
"Besides, we had a near-death experience, so I would rather not spoil it by making accusations," Kairi said.
"And we can enjoy this bath," Karen said.
"Fine with me," Zinnia said.
With that said, everyone enjoyed their bath before the steam could make them dizzy and just in time for their wet clothes to dry off.
Kairi had prepared some spaghetti for everyone and enjoyed the meals to their heart's content.
But how and when will Zell and the Elemental Bosses strike separately since they're no longer working together? Just wait and see when you want to see more adventure.
