I heard something rustling about not too far away. I got on all fours and listened closely, aware, ready for anything. I heard another rustle from some shaking grass, then stillness…Then it leaped out in a blur and charged forward. I rolled over swiftly out the way as it turned around and came back, charging forward. I stood up and charged towards it myself and tackled it head on, holding it back. It acknowledged my strength for holding it back, but didn’t hesitate to grab me with its many tiny arms lined up across its neck, and I thought back and remembered the Pokédex entry: “It clasps its prey with the claws on its neck until it stops moving. Then it finishes it off with deadly poison.”
I heard more rustling in the distance. Sythraxx: “No, don’t worry about it. I got this. You stay put. This is part of my training.” I closed my mind and focused my strength and squeezed hard and forced the weight over to its side as the Scolipede fell on its side. It loosened its grip and I seized that opportunity to circle around him and hold him down. It was at that moment when Scolipede's rings around its body glowed as its Speed Boost ability activated in a burst of energy. It got up and charged further, holding me on its back through the forest. I pulled out a Net Ball from behind and hopped off, tossing it. A large black net shot out from the Poké ball and dragged the Scolipede into the Net Ball as it shook three times and clicked. I walked up to the ball and picked it up as I heard another rustle in the trees above me. I looked up and saw a Staravia in the trees above me. It had a letter in its mouth. It flew down and Roosted onto my arm. I took the envelope out of its mouth and read the letter. “Dear Sythraxx, I have heard that you are recruiting Gym Leaders for your new region you discovered and I've heard nothing but positive things about your feats as you do so. I am interested in your league but am more interested in what you can do for me. Come down to the Palace for a spectated match over at the Senpai Altar tomorrow at 3:00 pm. - Fidu Senpai” Sythraxx: “Well this should be interesting. Tell Fidu I accept, Staravia.” The Staravia flew off from my arm into the air. A dark aura enveloped the air behind me as a figure dropped down and kneeled before me. It was a woman wearing a dark purple kimono with a pair of Doublades on her back. Sythraxx: “You have good news for me I hope?” ???: “I have set up the next few 'events' for your recruitments. Just give me the word and I will stage the next epidemic.” Sythraxx: “Ahh yes. I quite enjoyed your Psychic vibration emitter in Kanto and the massive Blizzard over in Snowpoint. I’m thinking now erupt Mt Chimney or flood Sootopolis City over in Hoenn.” ???: “Also, I’ve kept my eyes on the targets as you have ordered. They are unaware I’m tailing them. Shall I initiate Operation: Hagane?” Sythraxx: “Not quite yet, Luna. There is still time before my plan comes into play. You will get to have your fun soon enough. I actually have another mission for you. I’m recruiting another member. I want you to take him under your wing; see how he fares. If you think he’s up to your standards I’ll let him in on our plan.” I passed her a slip of paper, looked around, and checked the area for spectators, then whistled into the air as a Steelix rose from the ground and lifted us into the air, above Pinwheel Forest. Sythraxx: “That paper will tell you everything you need to know. Head in that direction towards Nacrene City. He should be in the Dreamyard. Move out.” She bowed and backwards flipped off Steelix’s head into the forest once more. Sythraxx: “Let’s go, Steelix. We have a match to prepare for.” **The Next Day** I walked into the Senpai Altar, into a long hallway that led to the right wing. There was a door at the end of the hallway. I walked through it into an all white room with a black outline of a square in the center. I walked to it and stood on the platform. It slowly rose to a hole in the ceiling. Announcer: “In the red corner, we have the acclaimed master of Steel types, the man who once went toe to toe with a Lucario, rescued a Durant from a pack of Heatmors, not afraid to hug a Ferrothorn with a Rocky Helmet, expert Aegislash/Doublade wielder, the one, the only, King of Vinnesia: Sythraxx!” The crowd erupted in screams of joy and amazement as I rose onto the stadium filled with people and their Pokémon. I raised my hand and waved to the crowd and put on a smile for the audience. The spotlight drifted off me into the other end of the stadium. Announcer: “And now the main attraction! The reason why we’re all here today! The man who notices one person a year. Owner of both Universal Ducky and Bird Jesus, One of the most feared Normal monotype teams in existence!” Announcer: “The one, the only, Fiduuuuuuuuuuuu Senpaiiiiiiiiiii!” He rose from the ground just as I did as flares surrounding him erupted into the air, shooting out colors and confetti as women threw their panties at his feet. Cr3eps & Mooroo: “We love you, Fidu!” The Emblem: “Fiduuuuuuuuuuu!” Gary Oak: “Notice me, Fidu!” Red: “…..!” Gortex, Steven, & Choco: “Give him a run for his money, Sythraxx!” Justin: “Sythraxx, you owe me a Terrakion!” Pez: “We will eliminate all hax for this battle.” James: “Good luck and have fun!” Bossman: “Wouldn’t miss this fight for the world.” Sarkany: “Don’t lose, Sythraxx!” Kirachan: "Lurking...." Fidu: “Well, without further adieu: good luck and have fun.” Sythraxx: “You too, old friend. Go, Scizor!” I threw my Poké ball forward and Scizor burst out, wearing some sort of device on its head with a lens that went over its right eye. It fluttered down, clamping its claws menacingly in the air. Fidu: “Let’s go, Staravia!” Staravia flew out from behind Fidu into the air, flying above the crowd, then lowered itself down in front of Scizor, glaring at him. Crowd: “Bird Jesus OMG!” Sythraxx: “Scizor, Focus Energy!” Scizor closed its eyes and then took a deep breath and a slight reddish aura enveloped his body. The earth trembled beneath him as steam began firing out of its ears. It opened its eyes, staring and watching Staravia’s movements. Fidu: “Use Feather Dance!” Staravia flew around in circles, dropping feathers around Scizor. Sythraxx: “Scizor, use Knock Off!” Scizor raised its claw high in the air and slammed it down on top of Staravia into the stage floor as its Eviolite bounced off and rolled to the other side of the stage. Fidu: “Staravia, get out of there! Roost!” Staravia rolled over and stood up and Roosted its wings. Sythraxx: “Oh no you don’t. Scizor. Bullet Punch!” Scizor’s scope adjusted over its right eye and zoomed in. He raised its right claw towards Staravia and it glowed bright white and blasted out of its wrist as the claw jetted forward, hitting Staravia square in its chest, knocking it back into Fidu, fainted. Scizor regrew another claw. Fidu: “Well, if it must be that way, I’ll need you, Diggersby!” A hatch opened from the floor and arose a Diggersby wearing a fur coat and black shades with two Lopunnys on each of his arms. They removed his glasses and coat as he stepped forward. Sythraxx: “No matter. With the help of my mighty Scope Lens, me being at negative three doesn’t change my damage output in the slightest.” Fidu: “Diggersby, use Swords Dance!” Sythraxx: “Scizor, use Swords Dance!” Diggersby rose its ears and swung them around, vigorously raising its fighting spirit. Scizor extended its claws, clamping them furiously in the air. Sythraxx: “Scizor, Bullet Punch!” Scizor aimed both arms forward and shot his claws out towards Diggersby. Like rockets they blared through the stage at high speed. Fidu: “Counter it with your arms!” Diggersby lifted both hands and caught the claws like a baseball glove and threw them back at Scizor! Fidu: “Now get in close with Quick Attack!” Diggersby placed one of its hands on the ground in a runner's stance and ran at blazing speeds right behind the Bullet Punches. Sythraxx: “Scizor, use Knock Off!” Scizor stepped back and knocked both the Bullet Punches out the way as Diggersby charged forward at top speed! Fidu: “Frustration!” Diggersby’s face grew angry as veins began popping out of his forehead. His muscles tightened and he reached forward and grabbed Scizor and flung him backwards into the floor like a rag doll, then picked Scizor back up by his legs and threw him into the air. Diggersby jumped up and grabbed Scizor and held him down as they both fell down into the stage, crashing into a pile of dust. Scizor reached out its claw to Diggersby but was too weak and it fell to the ground, fainted. Sythraxx: “Return. you did your job well. Go, Bloody Mary!” I threw out my Timer Ball and it opened, revealing a shiny Jirachi. Sythraxx: “Time to turn the tides! Use Skill Swap!” Crowd: *Gasp* Sarkany: “It wouldn’t be Sythraxx without his unconventional sets.” Jirachi opened the eye on its chest and fired out a beam towards Diggersby, shooting it in its stomach. A small brown orb came out of Diggersby as a silver orb came out of Jirachi. They switched spots and entered the others body as the beam dissipated. Fidu: “Use Earthquake!” Sythraxx: “Jirachi, float into the air and use Ice Punch!” Jirachi rose from the ground and floated towards Diggersby with its hand forming into ice. Fidu: “Get out of there. Quick Attack!” Diggersby jumped up just high enough to dodge the Ice Punch, then burst downwards with Quick Attack onto Jirachi’s back, sitting on Jirachi. Fidu: “Earthq—!” *BOOM* An explosion in the distance caught everyone's attention and shook the stadium. No one moved or said a word. *BOOOOOOOM* Sythraxx: “What on earth....” The stadium doors opened and a man ran through with a panicked look on his face. Man: “I hate to interrupt your battle, Fidu and Sythraxx, but it's terrible news! Mt. Chimney has erupted and lava is flowing down. It's way too much for Flannery to handle on her own. She needs help!” Sythraxx: “Alright, guys, let's move out. This will have to wait, Fidu.” Fidu: “Let me help. It should prove my worth for Vinnesia.” Sythraxx: “Alright, then Bossman I need you to Teleport me, you, Sarkany, Fidu, Choco, and Cr3eps to Lavaridge Town.” Bossman threw out his Poké ball and Alakazam burst from the white light and aimed his spoon at us, raised both hands into the air, then the spoons bent and I felt my body contorting and shifting through space as we flew through a vortex. I opened my eyes again and we were in Lavaridge Town. Sythraxx: “Alright, Cr3eps, get your Infernape. Use Overheat and smooth out the earth. Choco, anyone on your team who uses Lava Plume, mix it with Cr3eps's Overheat. Fidu, get your Diggersby and use Diggersby to create a wall of earth. Cr3eps and Choco, Sarkany and Bossman will back you up. Sarkany, I need your Gyarados to use Waterfall on the lava and fire they are creating. Boss, use your Scald and Metagross and help Diggersby with Earthquake. I’ll get Heatran and Empoleon ready. Let’s go: we have a town to save!” A helicopter lowered itself on the scene and watched as Vinnesia worked in unison, lifting boulders, terraforming the land, and stopping the lava in its tracks. Sythraxx: “Heatran, dive into the pool of lava and use Earth Power, sending the lava back under the earth. Then Empoleon, use Hydro Pump mixed with Heatran’s Lava Plume and seal the opening.” The lava finally receded back into the earth and Lavaridge was saved. Sythraxx: “Hey, Cr3eps, let me talk to you real quick.” Cr3eps: “Hey, what’s up?” Sythraxx: “Didn’t you say you had a bud named Mooroo or something and he was a pretty good battler?” Cr3eps: “Yeah he was at the Altar with me in the stands. Why, wassup?” Sythraxx: “Just wondering. I have a list of applicants to potentially join the league. I’ll check him out.” Cr3eps: “Sweet! I’ll let him know” I walked away into the distance and brought out Skarmory and clipped off 2 wings and banged them against each other, creating a high-pitched noise throughout the air. At that moment, Luna appeared and rose from a pool of dark aura in the ground. Sythraxx: “How was he?” Luna: “Not worth your time.” Sythraxx: “Perfect. I have someone else in mind anyway. You know what to do.” I passed her another scrap of paper and she disappeared into the ground once more. ** Later that night ** Mooroo: “Herpy derp derp, walking down the street, hurr durr….Wait, is that a Venusaur?” Venusaur: “Veeeeenusaur!” Mooroo: “I will catch you Venusaur and add you to my collection of Poison Pokémon.” Mooroo threw an Ultra Ball towards the Venusaur as it bounced off unexpectedly. Mooroo: “Wait, wut?” A figure dropped down from a tree behind Venusaur. ???: “Venusaur, use Sleep Powder!” The Venusaur stepped forward, opened its flower on its back, and released a stream of powder into Mooroo’s face. *POOF* Mooroo: “Zzzzzz……” **2 turns later** Mooroo: “What the? Where am I? I can’t see anything!” Woman’s Voice: “This is the right one, correct?” Man’s Voice: “Yes, this is him. I’ll handle the rest.” The blindfold was ripped off to reveal Luna and Sythraxx standing over Mooroo, strapped down to a chair. Sythraxx: “Bring the goddess.” A Gardevoir in a black dress emerged from the door behind. Sythraxx: “Gardevoir, use Hypnosis on this poor soul.” Gardevoir stepped forward and placed her hand on Mooroo’s forehead. Her eyes flared blue and Mooroo fell into a trance. Sythraxx: “Now, listen to me. You will be my spy. I will place you in the Vinnesia League as my Poison type Gym Leader and as my last Hagane Member. You will be my eyes to make sure everything is fine in the League. You will not recall this night or any information of being my subordinate unless I snap my fingers and say 'Marvel Scale'.” Mooroo: “Yes….” Luna: “Venusaur, put him to sleep.” *POOF*

Sythraxx: “Gortex, it’s 7:30 in the morning.” Gortex: “Yoo, we got another situation.” Sythraxx: “At 7:30 in the morning?” Gortex: “Come to Snowpoint City over in Sinnoh.” Sythraxx: “At 7:30 in the morning?” Gortex: “Yes, at 7:30 in the morning. Can you make it? Sythraxx:“At 7:30 in the morning?” *Click* I dialed my Xtransceiver and decided to give Aspen a call. *Ring Ring* Aspen: “Hello?” Sythraxx: “How's my favorite Professor doing?” Aspen: “Everything I ever dreamed of and more. I gave out a Mudkip today. The little girl was so ecstatic; it made me proud. Their reactions are priceless.” Sythraxx: “I’m glad you enjoy your job. Have you done anything interesting lately? Went out exploring Xera City?” Aspen: “....Yes, I went to the beach the other day and had a match with Choco. I lost.” Sythraxx: “Aww, don’t worry about it. I heard about that the other day. To be honest, I sent her over to you to have a match with you. Make you feel more comfortable with a friendly Pokémon battle. I never meant for ill feelings to commence.” Aspen: “Really? If that’s the truth, then I was worried about nothing. Thanks, Sythraxx; you always know how to cheer me up.” Sythraxx: “All in a day's work. Now I'm going to let you go. There is something going on in Snowpoint City.” Aspen: “You didn’t hear?!? It’s all over the news.” Sythraxx: “I’ve been preoccupied. What's the story?” Aspen: “Oh, I’m sorry, Sythraxx. I have someone coming. It’s time for them to receive their starters. I have to go.” *Click* Sythraxx: “Well, this doesn’t sound good.” I hopped on my Skarmory and finally took off for Sinnoh… **3 Hours Later** Sythraxx: “This Hailstorm is too bad, Skarmory. I'm going to need you to drop me off.” Skarmory struggled to fly downwards but enough for me to hop down and return it to its Poké ball. Sythraxx: “Looks like I’m walking the rest of the way. Go, Heatran! Use Heat Wave!” Heatran emerged from the Timer Ball and the snow around him began to melt. He was completely unaffected by the cold and hail. Then he exhaled a wave of heat, melting the snow and clearing the air, making a pathway to Snowpoint City. We continued walking until I got to the local Pokémon Center. I looked through the window and I saw Gortex and Steven sitting at the table. I knocked on the window and got their attention. They saw me, put on their jackets, and headed out to greet me. Steven: “Hey, Sythraxx.” Sythraxx: “Long time no see. So, what's the word, Gortex?” Gortex: “Trouble in Snowpoint Temple. The locals say they saw two people walk in there. Next thing they know the snowstorm's gotten ten times as worse and a solid ice door is blocking the inside so nothing can get in. The town is evacuating with these weather conditions and it’s our job to find out what’s going on and stop it.” Sythraxx: “Got it. If Ice is the problem you brought the right guy….Wait, why didn’t you ask Choco?” Gortex: “Yeah…..about that. Rather not talk about it.” *Flashback* Gortex: “Babe?” Choco: “What?” Gortex: “Where's my Super suit?” Choco: “What?” Gortex: “Where - is - my - Super - suit?” Choco: “I, uh, put it away.” [Exploud uses Boomburst on a building, destroying it in the distance] Gortex: “Where specifically?” Choco: “WHY do you NEED to know?” Gortex: “I NEED IT!” Choco: “Uh-uh! Don't you think about running off with Sythraxx. We've been planning this dinner for two months!” Gortex: “The public is in danger!” Choco: “My evening's in danger!” Gortex: “You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!” Choco: “'Greater good? I am your girlfriend! I'm the greatest 'good' you are ever gonna get!” *End Flashback* Sythraxx: “Gortex, you alright? Spacing out there?” Gortex: “Yeah, of course, sorry, let’s go.” We walk towards the temple and there is a solid see-through block of ice blocking the door. Sythraxx: “Heatran, use Heat Wave!” The ice remained, not even fazed by the intense flames. Sythraxx: “Hmm, it appears to be Nevermeltice. Looks like we can’t just burn our way through.” Steven: “Yup, looks like it’s Steven’s turn to save the day. C’mon, Gengar and Froslass!” Gortex: “What are they going to do?” Steven: “Phase you through.” Sythraxx: “Wait, what?! Does it hurt? I have to mentally prepare myself for this. Going through a solid object was never on my bucket list. What if I get stuck? Do I die? Does it hurt?” Froslass grabs my hand and Steven pushes me through the wall. Sythraxx: “......Don’t judge me.” Steven and Gortex come through the wall next. Gortex and Steven: “Judging.” We walked through the Temple and ice paths until we ended up in a open area. It was quiet….too quiet. Then, rising up through the ice, stood a boy. Then a bright light appeared out of nowhere and a woman stepped out of it. Boy: “N'ice' to meet you.” Woman: “'Fairy' glad to meet you.” Steven: “Was that a pun?” Woman: “I told you they wouldn’t get it. This was stupid.” Boy: “You don’t know unless you try.” Sythraxx: “Not to interrupt your little thing, but there's massive Hailstorms and random Blizzards going on in Snowpoint City so bad people are evacuating. Something tells me one of you is behind it.” Boy: “Yeah, that’d be me. The name is James.” Woman: “And I’m Pez.” Sythraxx: “Well, Mr. James and Ms. Pez. It’s our job to stop the terrorizing that's going on here.” James: “Yeah, sure, buddy, you don’t want any of this. Or her, trust me. So I advise you and your posse just beat it.” Pez: “Are you not aware of who we are?” Sythraxx: “No.” Pez: “We’re the masters of the crit.” James: “The best when it comes to the flinch.” Pez: “The Fairy Maiden.” James: “The Ice Champion” Pez: “Our hax are very broad.” James and Pez: “We are the Hax Gods” Gortex: “That’s just a myth!” Steven: “Clearly they are bluffing.” James and Pez: “Try us.” Sythraxx: “I will entertain your theory. Jake, you’re the only one I know who is proficient in Double Battles. Imma need you to back me up. Steven, guard the exit in case they try to escape.” Gortex and Steven: “Got it!” The four of us reached for our Poké balls and got into position, throwing our Poké balls at the same time, revealing our Pokémon: Abomasnow, Azumarill, Heatran, and Electivire. James: “Mega Evolve: Slash!” Abomasnow hunched over and dug its hands into the ground and grew larger as more foliage grew over its face and 4 giant spears of ice shot out of its back, one by one. It opened its eyes and Hail began falling from the ceiling. Electivire jumped out of his Poké ball, hair raised, and static electricity jolted and surged from its wires protruding from his back. Heatran fell from the ceiling and floated down with a balloon keeping it off the ground. Azumarill fell from the Poké ball wearing a headband. Sythraxx: “Heatran, use Heat wave!” Gortex: “Electivire, use Fire Punch on Heatran!” Electivire jumped into the air and landed on Heatran’s back and punched him in the back as his hand erupted into flames. Heatran glowed bright red and its eyes turned from orange to bright yellow as it cocked its mouth open and breathed an intense wave of heat. Pez: “Azumarill, use Aqua Jet and spin!” Azumarill shot forward like a bullet and spun like a tornado, showering water everywhere like rain, hitting against the Heat Wave, clashing, generating steam. James: "Abomasnow, use Blizzard!" The steam suddenly grew still, then a great pressure blasted outwards as the steam changed into snow and a Blizzard of cold air and frost swept the field. Heatran and Electivire braced themselves as the intense freezing wind and snow built up Electivire froze into a solid block of ice, still in its defensive stance. Heatran’s Balloon popped and she landed on the ground. The Blizzard finally ended. Pez: “There's the 1st one.” James: “More where that came from.” Gortex: “......That's just coincidence.” Sythraxx: “Heatran, unfreeze Electivire.” Pez: “Quick, while it's distracted, Aqua Jet on Heatran!” James: “Leech Seed on Electivire!” They were like clockwork. Azumarill shot like a bullet right into Heatran, knocking it backwards, preventing it from unfreezing Electivire. Abomasnow spat out seeds around the frozen block of ice, encasing Electivire and growing around the icicle. They turned bright green and released an essence of Electivire’s health in a small orb that traveled back to Abomasnow. Pez: “Aqua Jet!” Sythraxx: “Heatran, Will-o-Wisp!” Azumarill blasted forward again. Heatran cocked his mouth open and five purple and black flaming orbs gently floated out of Heatran’s mouth and Azumarill ran right into it, stopping it in its tracks, as the burn seared at its skin. With Azumarill laid out on the floor, Heatran reacted on his own and breathed a wave of heat on Electivire, melting the ice and burning off the Leech Seed. James: “Blizzard!” Gortex: “Not again. Gortex use Fire Punch on Abomasnow.” Electivire broke free of the remaining ice on his body and charged forward to Abomasnow, fist ablaze as he jumped into the air to make the final blow. James: “Switch it up: Ice Shard!” Pez: “Aqua Jet!” Abomasnow opened its mouth and a tiny shard of ice formed, as it shot it out like a rocket into Electivire's stomach. Then Azumarill right behind him shot out in a fury of water. Electivire was quick to reach his arms out and grab Azumarill’s head, dropping to the floor. Electivire slammed Azumarill into the ground and jabbed both wires into its back. Gortex: “Use Wild Charge!” The air around Electivire grew dry as his hair rose up like spines. The cord grew bigger and started surging electricity into Azumarill, leaving it fried on the floor, fainted. Sythraxx: “These guys know their stuff.” Pez: “Oopsie, did that crit come from me?” James: “Our services for hax is just a small fee.” Pez: “The infamous duo, not frauds.” James: “We are the Hax Gods.” James: “Wherever we go our names are well known.” Pez: “In fact, meet my ace: come on out, Flintstone!” Pez threw her Poké ball into the air and it burst open to reveal a Togekiss as it glided playfully into the air. Sythraxx: “Heatran, use Heat Wave!” Gortex: “Wild Charge—wait what…” Electivire passed out, fainted from the previous recoil damage. Heatran focused its energy into a single stream of heat as it traveled right into Abomasnow, setting it ablaze. Pez: “Take this opportunity to use Nasty Plot!” Togekiss’s cheerful facial expression turned dark as its eyes turned dark and it made an evil grin as thoughts ran through its mind. Pez: “We may be on our last Pokémon but its all ‘ogre’.” James: “Nothing will save you; your team is mediocre!” James reached behind himself and pulled out a Master Ball, which he threw out. It remained closed, then a locking mechanism clicked open and the top opened to which an enormous hand reached out followed by another. Lifting itself out the Poké ball was a Kyurem-Black wearing a scarf. It roared loud and terrifying as its tail glowed bright and released a blue aura in a fiery pattern around its body. Gortex threw out his last Ultra Ball, revealing a Thundurus. He floated on his cloud, looking at the situation. Gortex looked at me as I gave him the nod of approval. He turned around, reaching inside his bookbag for something. Then he pulled it out: it was a silver mirror with cloud patterns of red, green, and blue surrounding the mirror as handles. It was the Reveal Glass. Gortex held the mirror up so Thundurus could look into it. Thundurus shielded his face in horror as it saw something within the mirror. Thundurus drove its hands into the cloud then lifted his hands as the cloud formed into paws and 3 spiked claws jetted out. The remaining clouds faded away to reveal a pair of legs. The horn on its head grew longer and sharper. The patterns on his body began to shift and move, some growing larger. Then it opened its eyes to reveal the pupil-less white dots. James: “Kyurem, use Earth Power!” Kyurem threw his hands down into the ground and looked right at Heatran. The ground shook and erupted skyward, knocking Heatran into the ceiling. It fell to the ground, fainted. Gortex: “Thundurus, use Atomic Focus Blast!” Thundurus clapped his paws together and started rubbing his hands together. The clouds on his paws turned black as static generated between his paws. He then spread them apart to reveal a tiny orange ball of light that increased in pressure and size in seconds. Lightning striking the ball of energy, it whizzed and emitted a high pitched noise as it got bigger and bigger. Thundurus pointed at Kyurem and it fired off, creating a break in the sound barrier as it shot out, nailing Kyurem-B is the chest, making it fly back into the wall, twitching from the paralysis, fainted. Pez: “Dazzling Gleam!” Sythraxx and Gortex: “Oh crap.” Togekiss glowed bright white and released a brilliant shining light all around, completely overtaking Thundurus. As the light went away we looked to see Thundurus laid out on the ground, fainted. James: “Pez, it’s all up to you.” Gortex: “I tried. Good luck.” I reached for my last Poké ball and threw out Lucario. He landed on the ground and stood up as his paws gave off an aura of orange. He flexed the sash to better fit himself. Sythraxx: "Lucario, use Ice Punch". Pez: "Togekiss, use Fire Blast!." Lucario darted towards Togekiss as its hand glowed bright and snowflakes drifted from its clenched fist, then it punched Togekiss in the face, surprisingly covered over Togekiss’s whole body, freezing it solid. Sythraxx: “Would you look at that: looks like I’m the hax god.” Pez: “Heh.” As Lucario turned around to walk away, Togekiss’s Frozen body turned bright red and the ice begin to melt quickly. Gortex and Steven: “The infamous insta-thaw!” Sythraxx: :”Lucario! Look Out!” It was too late. Togekiss shot out a searing burst of fire, blasting Lucario straight in the back, throwing him to his knees. The fire encased all around him then finally dissipated. Lucario stood up and removed the sash from his body as it burned to a crisp. Then Lucario’s chest burst into a tiny flame and Lucario opened his eyes wide in pain as the burn put to rest the last remaining strength he had and he fell to the floor, fainted. Pez: “We’re the masters of the crit.” James: “The best when it comes to the flinch.” Pez: “The Fairy Maiden.” James: “The Ice Champion.” Pez: “Our hax are very broad.” James and Pez: “We are the Hax Gods.” Sythraxx: “That was…..insane.” Gortex: “Amazing.” Steven: “So it isn’t a myth…” James: “That’s right. We're the real deal.” Sythraxx: “Fairy and Ice, huh.” Gortex: “Really, Sythraxx? You’re going to recruit every mono battler you meet?” Steven: “The more the merrier.” Pez: “Recruitment?” James: “SYTHRAXX?!?!” Sythraxx “Ignore them. Where are my manners? I did not introduce myself: I am Sythraxx, the Steel type Elite 4 Member of the Vinnesia Region. I just so happen to be recruiting Gym Leaders and it's not every day you come across 2 Mono battlers. I believe you will be a great support column for the Vinnesia League.” James: “Sounds tempting. What’s in it for us?” Sythraxx: “Luxury, perks, fame—” Pez: “Well, we already have fame, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to go public. Let’s do it.” James: “I always wanted to be a ‘Star’mie.” Pez, Steven, Gortex, and Sythraxx: *Facepalm* Sythraxx: “See you two in the Vinnesia Region's Pokemon League. I’ll register you and assign you your Gyms. Come on this upcoming Tuesday. Gortex, Steven, let’s go.” Steven: “Vinnesia is really coming up in members.” Sythraxx: “One step at a time…” We walked out the Ice Temple and saw the sun was out and the Hail storms were gone. Looks like another mission accomplished for the Vinnesia League. |
