The Pokken Club

"Pokken! Pokken! Pokken!"

0 · 731 views · located in Ecruteak City

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by NeverEndingFlip

Description

The Pokken Club is a group of five friends bonded together through the unique style of Pokemon combat they've developed, a type of battle they refer to as Pokken Battle.

Below are the names and descriptions of each of the trainers in the Pokken Club:




Lucian: The Leader


Image


Age: 15Gender: Male


His smile always turned up into a confident sneer, Lucian is a hard boy to read. Unlike other boys at the age of ten, Lucian had no desire to go out and take on the gym challenge when he got his first Pokemon. Instead, he immediately found a partner and began to bend the rules of Pokemon combat. Many traditional trainers refused to fight him, claiming he cheated to win. By technical rules, he did, but Lucian didn't see it that way. He saw through the boring guidelines of the standard battle and ultimately left the circuit because of it. He developed an entirely new way to battle and sought other trainers who would also appreciate the change of pace.


Pokemon:


Espeon- (Morning Sun, Power Swap, Psych Up, Sand Attack)
Umbreon- (Snarl, Confuse Ray, Guard Swap, Pursuit)
Gengar- (Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, Astonish, Hypnosis)
Chandelure- (Will-O-Wisp, Flame Burst, Incinerate, Overheat)
Weavile- (Ice Punch, Fury Swipes, Fake Out, Night Slash)
Hydreigon- (Focus Energy, Scary Face, Dragon Rage, Outrage)

*Note: His favorite pair to use for Support is Espeon and Umbreon.




Chloe: The Sister


Image


Age: 12Gender: Female


Chloe is the tag-a-long sister Lucian eventually had to let join because his parents wouldn't stop nagging him about it. A light and carefree soul, she has that standard cute girl facade on the outside with a brutal tactician laced within her frilly dress and girly colors. A naturally-talented Pokemon Trainer, she has the most experience in the Pokken Battle style besides her brother, making her one of the toughest opponents to face against. Do not let that smile fool you!


Pokemon:


Jirachi- (Wish, Helping Hand, Refresh, Cosmic Power)
Sylveon- (Reflect, Disarming Voice, Light Screen, Moon Blast)
Togekiss- (Tailwind, Mirror Move, Extrasensory, Stored Power)
Gardevoir- (Magical Leaf, Future Sight, Teleport, Dazzling Gleam)
Braixen- (Psybeam, Fire Spin, Light Screen, Sunny Day)
Slurpuff- (Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Surf, Flamethrower)

*NOTE: Her strategy lies in her Support, not necessarily her main Pokemon.




Willow: The Wild Card


Image


Age: UnknownGender: Male (They're pretty sure, anyway.)


No one really knows where Willow came from or why he got interested in Pokken Battle, but he did and here he stays. The only thing you can tell about this guy is that he's very quiet. He has been known to go days on end without uttering a single word. Other than his name, no one really knows anything about him or his past or even what his first Pokemon was. Nevertheless, he shares the same love for Pokken Combat that the rest of them do...at least they're pretty sure anyway.


Pokemon:


Magneton- (Tri-Attack, Flash Cannon, Metal Sound, Lock On)
Quagsire- (Mud Bomb, Yawn, Earthquake, Brick Break)
Lucario- (Aura Sphere, Extreme Speed, Swords Dance, Bone Rush)
Pikachu*- (Discharge, Flying Press, Thunderbolt, Agility)
Mawile- (Play Rough, Crunch, Sweet Scent, Iron Head)
Virizion- (Helping Hand, Magical Leaf, Close Combat, Leaf Blade)

NOTE: Willow has earned the Wild Card slot for a reason. He is notorious for using a random strategy every time he battles.

Pikachu*- Libre




Sarah: The Lost


Image


Age: 13Gender: Female


As the outcast who only wanted to make new friends, Sarah joined the Pokken Club to do just that. She's not exactly a talented trainer or a natural strategist. In fact, she's fairly simple minded and doesn't exactly plan moves accordingly. But she doesn't Pokken to win...she Pokkens to have fun with others. A very down-to-earth girl with a massive heart and soul to her face, she may spend a majority of the battle she's in just singing along. She enjoys cute foxes and birds.


Pokemon:


Fennekin- (Ember, Howl, Safeguard, Flame Charge)
Fletchling- (Peck, Agility, Fly, Growl)
Jigglypuff- (Disarming Voice, Sing, Disable, Pound)
Victini- (Focus Energy, Endure, V-create, Searing Shot)
Starly- (Growl, Wing Attack, Whirlwind, Aerial Ace)
Litleo- (Leer, Work Up, Roar, Ember)

NOTE: She has only won when she gets Victini involved in the battle, which doesn't happen that often.




Garrett: The Winless


Image


Age: 14Gender: Male


As stubborn a bull as they come, Garret is actually the second member to join the Pokken Club. So why is he still called noob? Well, he has yet to win a match of Pokken against anyone, even Sarah. The reason? He believes his team of three he's put together is destined to be his champion team and thus refuses to get any more Pokemon. It's the same strategy every time for him...literally every time. And thus he gets beat every time. He gets frustrated easily and often sulks every time he loses a match. If he wins...well, that never happens.


Pokemon:


Croagunk- (Toxic, Taunt, Swagger, Nasty Plot)
Diglett- (Dig, Growl, Sand Attack, Hone Claws)
Nidorino- (Venoshock, Double Kick, Horn Attack, Poison Sting)

NOTE: ALWAYS has Nidorino as his main Pokemon with Croagunk and Diglett as his support.

So begins...

The sudden advancement made them take another step back, but the cheerful tone in her voice kept them from throwing Pokemon too early. Lucian hadn't been expecting that response and as a result, he couldn't help but blink.

Er-...wha-" he stuttered.

The warm words got to Chloe more, as she couldn't help but smile in return.

And then Diamond entered the picture, both of them glancing in his direction the moment he spoke. Even though they couldn't sense the aura, they could feel the chills in his words, the dark, distant stare he gave to his Pokemon, who was trying everything in her power to get her on his side. It didn't take much thought to realize that this was who she was talking about. And the realization that this had come by Melaine's hand directly didn't ease the tension they all felt.

"We...we live in this region," he said, glancing carefully at Diamond. "We're heading away from Castelia City to get away from all the fighting."

He was minding his tongue and choosing his words deliberately. It was very clear in body language and tone of voice. But the fear was no longer directed at Lucy. Instead, it was all being directed at the human by her side.

"No fighting would be nice... wouldn't it Diamond? Go back to the way things were?" she looked hopeful. Diamond was silent. Her shoulders drooped a bit more. Diamond began to walk back towards the brush. His flickering Aura began to stabilize. Lucy stamped an anxious paw on the ground and turned to Lucian, a pleading look on her face. "D-Diamond! Wait! Don't go! Maybe there will be more of those crystal things where they're going?"

Diamond stopped, and turned to look over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing.

"I watched people who... were knocked out while in this state revert to their old selves...." she said quietly to Lucian and Chloe. "I... can't bring myself to hurt him though, even if I have the power to do it...." She took a few steps towards Lucian again, solemn and gentle steps. "Can you help me?"

Lucian eyed the Lucario, raising a brow at her hypothesis. He scratched his head as he spoke.

"Hold on. So what you're saying is that the corruption can simply be beat out of whatever it touches? Like, all we have to do is fight them and win and it'll be gone? And you want us to do that to your trainer? Is this some kind of trick?"

"Of course we can help out!"

"Wha-...no!" he turned in protest to Chloe, "You can't just make random offers to help people like that. We don't even know them!"

"I don't think she's one of those bad Pokemon," she answered thoughtfully, "She doesn't have that look."

Lucian turned to stare into Lucy's eyes, "Maybe...but we don't even know who they are. Maybe not all of Melaine's people are corrupted..."

"Lucian...please?" Chloe tugged on his arm, "What if we do save them? What if we find the cure for this before anyone else? Shouldn't we at least find out?"

The boy was deep in thought, contemplating what was being said. He leaned his head forward and grimaced, opening one eye while squeezing the other shut, then reciprocating the process. It was almost like he was having a debate in his mind. Finally, he stood straight up and sighed.

"Ok, fine," he agreed, turning to Lucy, "But we gotta be careful. I think those tall crystals give him more power, so we've gotta stay away from them. How strong is he?"

Diamond's Aura began to flare up. The man heard everything, and rage entered his eyes. "You would dare attack me, your master, Lucario?" he growled.

"N-no! I could never..... Diamond please!" Lucy responded before looking back to Lucian and Chloe. "Before corruption he was only as strong as an adolescent Lucario.... above all he's only still human! I.... don't know how strong he is now!" she answered. Lucy was tearing up faster than one would have thought. "I just want my partner back!" she repeated again.

"You've made your choice, Lucario! You will pay for your insolence!" a flash of emotion, rage, sorrow, hurt. It flashed into his voice. His aura wavered, his heart pounded. What... was this? Feeling? His blue aura became visible around his body, tainted by violet, flaming around him for a moment before beginning to focus on his palms.

Lucian and Chloe leaped back at Diamond's sudden transformation, the powerful Aura that enveloped him and filled the air around them with energetically chaotic winds. Their eyes were wide, clutching onto their PokeBalls tight. They kept their gaze on the suddenly frightening trainer in front of them.

But they weren't running.

"Chloe! Pokemon out!" Lucian commanded. Chloe didn't even miss a beat, relinquishing the Pokemon in her hand. From the red beam popped a dominantly white Pokemon with stubby appendages and a round figure. It's hair was pink with a red sphere on top. It's eyes were red, matching the red collar around it's neck, the red dot on it's left side, and the red tongue sticking out of its mouth. The Slurpuff reacted in surprise at Diamond, turning away as if the raw emotions were too strong for her. But she stayed her ground and steeled her stance, ready to fight.

Chloe didn't stop there. In the same graceful motion, she pulled two more Pokemon from her belt and tossed them behind her, the star-like form of Jirachi appearing on her left while the flat ray-like form of Togekiss hovered on her right. Both also took stances, but hovered distantly from the scene of the fight.

"I'm ready!" she told her brother.

Lucian was almost ready, having tossed out his Gengar and the dynamic duo of Espeon and Umbreon on either side. The Gengar was the closest to Diamond, side by side with Lucy. The Eevelutions kept their distance, but surrounded the Aura flaring boy on either side, circling around him like a cat hunting it's prey.

"Chloe, protect me. I'm going in." Lucian told her sister as he closed his eyes and started to breathe deeply.

Chloe already knew what this meant, so she pointed forward and issued a command, "Slurpuff! In front of Gengar!"

The Slurpuff leaped into action, jumping from her current position and landing in front of the Shadow Pokemon. Jirachi and Togekiss moved closer, but stayed far away from the actual combatants. Right now, it seemed to be Gengar, Slurpuff, and Lucy against Diamond.

BATTLE!!
Vs!
Shadow-Diamond!
Begin!!


Diamond's Aura flared up again and he wasted no time in charging the Slurpuff by himself, aiming to simply kick it out of the way with great force. Nothing special about the kick unless one counted the enhanced strength and speed granted by the Aura around him, but even then it likely wasn't much. Whether or not his attack landed or did anything, Lucy would step forward, a Bone-Rush appearing between her paws. Tears streamed don her cheeks and she gripped the staff of bone tightly to the point where it cracked under the pressure, before charging her former master.

She didn't strike to hurt him, but to get him away from the Slurpuff, quickly hopping back when her diversionary strike worked, and he hopped back a good dozen feet, tossing out a pokeball in the meantime. "Torterra." he called.

Sure enough, Diamond's Torterra slammed it's feet into the ground as it was called out of his pokeball. It, like Lucy, was not corrupted, but it was not as intelligent as its Lucario counterpart, and though there was a struggle beneath its determined eyes, it would follow it's master's orders. Lucy, in poke-speak, pleaded with it to turn on Diamond with her, to help save him from this corruption.

Her words would be drowned out. "Frenzy Plant." Torterra raised up on its hind legs, and then slammed down his front ones. Sure enough, the vines exploded from the ground, attacking not just the pokemon at hand, but also the trainers, while Diamond hopped onto the shell of his massive Torterra, and gained his balance, pressing his palms together, and focusing his Aura.

The Slurpuff took the kick in full, rearing back against the force of the strike, but not moving much. She would hold her ground as Lucy rushed in and pushed Diamond back, reestablishing distance between them. Chloe wasted no time here on, sensing that no hesitation would come from the Aura-engulfed trainer.

"Jirachi! Helping Hand! Let's do this as painlessly as possible!"

Jirachi obliged, clapping her hands together. A rush of power swept through the area like a concentrated wind. For Diamond, that's all he would feel. But for Lucy, Slurpuff and Gengar, they would feel a powerful surge of energy rush through their body, a sizeable boost of power added to their supply.

It was then that Lucian let out a smooth exhale, accompanied by a rolling of his shoulders forward. Then, his eyes and Gengar's were opened at the same time. The Gengar's eye color matched Lucians, only the purple and pink swapped eyeballs and were glowing. Lucian would remain stationary while the Gengar found it's way to his feet. There was a lasting smirk resting on his face as he examined his hands, squeezing them into closed fists in front of him. He then acknowledged Chloe.

"I'm in..." Lucian and the Gengar said at the same time.

It was at this moment that the Torterra was summoned, battling alongside the boy named Diamond. Lucian took in his surroundings, noticing Slurpuff standing in front of him. His two Supports, the Espeon and Umbreon, maintained their distance, but surrounded the opponents. They turned to the Gengar expectantly.

"What's the plan?" the Espeon spoke to him first.

The Gengar eyed the Torterra right as he heard the first command from Diamond.

"Up the tree!" he pointed behind them. They took no time scaling the trunk and resting on a lower hanging branch. They would avoid the massive strike. The others would not be so lucky. Both Gengar and Lucian would be smacked hard by the powerful attack, sending the two of them flying backwards. Chloe, Jirachi, and Togekiss would also be hit by the attack, but their distance and overall resistance made it less effective. Still, Chloe would pick herself up from the ground with scratches across her face.

"Lucian! she cried, rushing over to his brother's body sprawled across the ground. "Lucian, are you alright?!"

The hand of Gengar appeared on her arm and she turned to see that the glowing eyes were still in effect, "I'm fine. Just get Slurpuff to attack the Torterra."

Lucian spoke as well, allowing for Chloe to understand him. She nodded. "R-Right." She turned her body towards the two combatants, her own anger taking over.

"You hurt my brother! I'm going to make sure you feel what he feels! Slurpuff, Flamethrower!"

The Slurpuff took to an offensive stance, leaping into the fray and spreading her palms. A spray of fire emerged from them, engulfing the Torterra in an inferno. The power of this was boosted tremendously thanks to Jirachi's Helping Hand. It would do a ton of damage, but not enough to take it out entirely. Diamond might feel some residual effects of the flames around him.

But now it would be Lucian's turn.

"Umbreon! Guard Swap! Me and him!" the Gengar pointed at the Torterra.

A curt nod and then a blue aura began to envelop the Umbreon, the Gengar, and the Torterra. Diamond's Pokemon would feel as if something was leaving his body. The hardness of the shell on his back would actually feel much weaker. At the same time, the Gengar would feel the opposite effect, a residual hardness entering his body that made him feel like he could tank most things. He started rushing forward, speed on his side.

Let's do this... he psyched himself up as he leaped over the massive form of Torterra, aiming for Diamond with a poised Shadow Punch. He was hoping to catch him off guard while the flames were around him and he was charging his Aura. He felt weird striking at another human in the Pokemon form, but given the circumstances and the strange influx of power the human had on his side, it didn't feel that weird.

As expected, Torterra would need a moment to rest after opening with a hard hitting move like Frenzy Plant. Flamethrower hit like a truck. Diamond hopped off of Torterra, avoiding the flames as he flipped to the side and landed, skidding across the ground on his feet while continuing to charge the Aura Sphere in his hands. Guard Swap took its toll, Torterra's legs faltered, Lucy watched in shame.

Diamond looked up at Lucian, eyes widening as he widened his stance and he launched his Aura Sphere at the boy. Ordinarily, it'd hit no problem - Aura Sphere never missed. And in one way, it didn't miss, but in another, it did. It just didn't hit Lucian. Lucy appeared, using her Extreme speed to move in the way and tank the Aura Sphere directly, her own flowing Aura blazing around her as she fell to the ground, landing hard on her side with a yelp and a whimper.

Diamond's eyes narrowed, but there was no time to berate the disobedient Lucario, there was a Shadow-Punch coming. His stance was too wide to effectively doge, and he was too wiped, at least for the moment, to properly counter. His aura waned, and he crossed his arms in front of him, hoping to do his best to block the Shadow Punch. Maybe his arms would be enough.

Lucy skidded to a halt beside Chloe, rolling to her feet and shaking herself off before exhaling. "He's... never hit hat hard before.... be careful!" she called out to Lucian and Chloe both, as well as their pokemon, to let them know that the Shadow Corruption had of course bolstered Diamond's already impressive abilities as a human.

Gengar grunted in mild surprise as the Aura Sphere was shot out before he could close the distance. He blinked in further shock when the Aura Sphere shot passed him, a move that never missed. He braced himself for impact, but it never came. A blurry form shot in front of him, tanking the Aura Sphere as it sped on. Having not faltered despite the two interruptions, he ran forward and proceeded to strike as normal.

Shadow Punch landed directly, right at the point where Diamond's arms were crossed. Even with his arms as a buffer and the shadow energy bolstering his power, the energy of the Helping Hand powered Dark-Type move penetrated through and sent a shock wave through the core of his body. The force of the strike, given the momentum of the Gengar's run-up punch, would be well enough to send him flying backwards. How he recovered was entirely in his control, as one would be able to do flying in the air.

The Lucian-occupied Gengar glanced to his left, noticing that Lucy had taken the strike for him. He gave her a curt nod of gratitude before eyeing up the aura-coated trainer in front of him.

"BAH!" he abruptly screamed at him as he swung, aiming to strike him from below, a small uppercut towards his chin. The Astonish would do little in power, but he wanted to scare the teen a little bit, potentially making him Flinch.

Meanwhile, Chloe listened to Lucy's instruction and nodded.

"Got it. Togekiss! Tailwind! Let's make them all faster! Slurpuff! Another Flamethrower! Let's take Torterra out of commission!"

Togekiss added to the magic in the air, boosting the speed of all allies, including Lucy. Slurpuff was already lighting the flames around the massive Torterra once more. Unless the massive beast could dodge, it would likely be knocked out by the attack.

As the fighting continued, a large purple vortex would spawn a short distance away from the battlers; from it would emerge two girls. Each girl stood confidently as the portal closed behind them, certain they made it to the right location.

Together, the pair stood quietly, bearing witness to the battle occurring, no doubt beginning their observations right as the Torterra was about to fall.

Hey, Riz. How far away from the Crystal are we?


I do believe we're somewhat close? About a 10 to 15-minute walk north from here, I think. I used the coordinates last used by the Shadow Sisters to get here, so it seems they ended up wandering around a bit before planting it.


I see. Then this is Route 3? It seems...nice...tch. What rubbish. At least I can see the one we came to check on. Seems he's in a fight again.


Fufufu... How interesting! Let us see how this fight goes, then.

Torterra was too weak to continue, and so collapsed on the ground after the second Flame Thrower hit him head on. Diamond couldn't return him, however, as the Shadow Punch slammed into his arms and the impact spread through his body, he was launched off his feet backwards with a cry. He landed hard on his back, skidding back before rolling back to his feet, only to be upper-cutted by the gengar immediately after, and sent back to the ground again with another gasp. After settling, he retracted his arms, returned Torterra, and launched another pokeball into the air.

Charizard, now fully healed from his ordeal with Melaine, appeared in the air, roaring triumphantly in challenge to the Gengar and its compatriots. Diamond's Aura flared up again, focusing quickly around his fist as he launched himself to his feet. Knowing that a Fighting type move wouldn't work against the Ghost type Gengar, Diamond darted as fast as he could past him, heading straight for Lucian himself, aiming his Drain Punch square for his jaw, looking to put him on his ass as fast as possible.

"Flare Blitz the Gengar!"

Charizard roared ferociously, and the flame from his tail went wild, covering his body as he spun and then dove straight for the Gengar, roaring the entire time. Wings flared out to course correct and attempt to follow Gengar if he moved out of the way, but hopefully the shock value of being split between Diamond's direct attack on Lucian and the Charizard's Flare Blitz would allow both attacks to hit. Lucy stared on in horror. Still she was too scared to attack her former master, or really to attempt to offer much more advice. Hopefully Chloe and her pokemon would be able to react and counter as needed.

Fused Lucian steeled his stance against Diamond, watching him rise to his feet, a fist of energy charged in front of him. He stood and waited for the strike to come, expecting the Shadowy teen in front of him to pass through. But instead, he charged around him, calling a command to direct his summoned Charizard at him. He blinked in surprise at the move and knew that he was probably going to be hit by the Flare Blitz.

"Switch!" he exclaimed to Slurpuff, pointing in the direction of Diamond.

The Slurpuff responded in kind, leaping closer to the two of them and unleashing a large tidal wave in between human Lucian and Diamond, aiming to sweep the human off his feet with Surf. The Gengar was smacked hard with the power of Charizard's powerful move. His newly acquired defense boost was the sole thing saving him from being knocked out completely by the attack. Still, he bounced across the dirt a couple times before skidding to a halt at the edge of the treeline. He gasped as he felt the wind knocked out of him.

Chloe, who was far enough away to spectate and noticed the run up attack. Her response was quicker than Lucian's, "Togekiss, tank it and use Mirror Move!"

Should the Surf miss it's mark, Togekiss would be in front of Lucian, ready to take the hit and retaliate in kind.

All combatants seemed too distracted to notice the newcomers on the scene.

Seeing the Torterra faint and be replaced by the Charizard, Aerys glanced at Riz, who nodded. The pair then watched as Diamond and Charizard attempted a joint attack against the young boy and the Gengar. When the young boy requested the Slurpuff intervene, followed by the young girl and her Togekiss also moving to defend him, Riz noticed that the Lucario did not react as the pair watching had expected.

Noticing that the group before them was too occupied with the battle, Riz waved her staff as it began glowing with a violet/indigo aura. After making some motions, at which the aura fully encompassed her, she pointed it at the Lucario specifically.

Shadow Pull!


Immediately, Lucy would find herself encompassed by a violet/indigo colored aura that would paralyze her fully, preventing any kind of movement or response. Then, almost as quickly as the initial attack's onset was, she would find herself being pulled with haste toward the source of the attack, which was the pair observing the fight at the moment. Face-to-face with the pair of girls, Aerys held her cute, if smug, grin while Riz maintained the paralyzing aura with her staff.

Sorry, but we'll need to borrow you for a moment. I promise we'll return you when we're done here.


Just don't struggle and you'll be fine. We just need to speak to the fine Trainers for a bit.


Lucy being dragged to the pair would be noticeable to all parties involved in the battle.

Diamond's rush was cut short by the tidal wave and an insolent Togekiss. Flipping backwards in a graceful leap, Diamond landed and started to rise to his feet again, searching for a softer, easier target. Charizard roared triumphantly as he slammed into the Gengar, though growled with a mix of pain and disappointment as the recoil damage affected him and the Gengar was still standing thanks to it's stolen Defense from Toreterra.

Diamond darted to the side to get out of the way and not be a standing target, while he did so, he gave his next command. "Finish it with Flame Thrower. Go." Charizard roared and stamped its foot, wings flaring out and tail lashing as a torrent of flame bellowed from its maw, roaring across the space between it and the Gengar while Diamond rushed around looking for another target. Ah, Chloe. The girl was relatively open. Pivoting on the ball of his foot and radiating with his Aura, Diamond darted quickly for her, the Drain Punch still radiating in his right hand.

"Diamond!"

Lucy's instinctive cry for her partner snapped him to reality, the Drain Punch Faded, and his heart throbbed instinctively as well. He stopped and stared after her as the Shadow Aura surrounded her. "You! Release my Lucario at once! She is not yours to do with as you please!" he shouted, gritting his teeth. His blue aura radiated around his body vibrantly as he watched on.

That was HIS Lucario! How dare they?

The Fused Lucian knew very well that if he didn't try for something here, the next hit would take him out of the fight. He had to try something a little more daring, something with risk.

He looked to the trees at his support.

"Umbreon! Confuse Ray that bastard!" he called out as he began charging up a Shadow Ball in his hand.

Umbreon twirled her tail slightly as she stood up to get a better vantage point, shooting the Charizard from afar with Confuse Ray. It wouldn't be that bad of an attack for Diamond's Pokemon to take, but he hoped that with the damage already dealt by it's own hand and the potential for Charizard to be confused, his last ditch effort would be enough to seal the deal.

Not even waiting to see what happened, he ran forward into the direct line of fire of the Flamethrower. The fire blazed hotly around him, but he had just enough energy to unleash his Shadow Ball, aiming for the center of chest. And then, the heat was simply too much. With a labored exhale, he slumped forward and hit the ground with a soft thud.

The Gengar was knocked out.

At the same time, the glowing lights faded from Human Lucian's eyes and he groaned, clutching his head immediately. He had the wherewithal to pull out the PokeBall and recall his fallen companion, but he would need a moment to recover.

Seeing the Slurpuff miss and the Gengar knocked out, Chloe immediately took control of the situation. "Togekiss, stay in front of Lucian. Do not let that boy near him! Slurpuff, in front of me. We'll take him down together!"

Slurpuff bounded forward, a surprise spring to her blobby appearance as she covered the distance in little time. At the same time, Diamond was rushing forward, aiming his strike at the girl. She gasped as she realized he wasn't going to be above hurting other people with his power and braced herself for possible impact.

They were interrupted by Lucy's cry for help. All participants turned to see the newcomers, holding the Lucario within some weird energy. Given the color of said energy, Chloe instinctively took a step back. Lucian managed to open his left eye, trying to concentrate on who the two strangers actually were.

While Diamond reacted with anger and shouting, the girl took a little more subdued approach, "Wh-Who are you?"

Seeing the response, the two began, first with the young girl in a purple dress.

In time, Diamond Royal, in time. My name is Aerys Leurant, of the New Ruulan Empire. Sauvegarde and Main Droite for the Crown-Princess herself.


At her side, attached to a belt, she had a golden book trimmed in brown with a lock placed upon it hanging, opposite five Premier Balls, each with an identical Ball Capsule featuring a golden lock design upon it. Next to the Premier Balls, a single unusual Poke Ball was hanging; a custom affair with a black bottom half and a purple top half. It was also encased in a Ball Capsule, betrayed by the faint shimmer around the Poke Ball itself, upon which a glittering pattern of violet crystal shards was dusted. Lastly, hanging from a red cord wrapped around her left wrist, just above her Z-Power Ring with a Key Stone inlaid, a golden key was present, while slung around her right wrist was an unusual band, primarily black in color, with two trims, one magenta, and one blue. It had some kind of interface upon it and was specifically wrapped around the arm she seemed to favor. She also had a pair of sturdy metal knuckles attached to her belt as well.

The other regal looking girl then responded.

I am Riz Impératrice, of Maison Impératrice; a Duchess of the New Ruulan Empire and a chosen Nonpareil in the Crown-Princess' Parlement.


This girl did not boast nearly the equipment her compatriot had, though she had 5 grey Poke Balls with Capsules upon them as well, featuring a pattern involving stars and rocks. Her staff was the real star of the show in her appearance, as it looked capable and special. It seemed to be creating the purple aura that was surrounding the Lucario. She too seemed to have a Z-Power Ring with a Keystone, though she lacked the unusual band. Somehow, she gave off the air of hiding something far scarier, even as she smiled.

Diamond, we came to check up on you after hearing some questionable rumors. I hope you aren't being a disappointment for our cause.


Your friends here seem to have some disageements with you. A positive sign to witness, and one no doubt to be taken into consideration by Her Majesty.


As the one named Riz looked to the one named Aerys, she closed her eyes and smiled. In turn, Aerys did too.

Of course, that means we are here with another purpose.


Yep! Your friends will obviously need to stay here as well. Especially the girl. She's gotten my interest, and no doubt Her Majesty will be interested to learn more.


Aerys brandished a special Poke Ball. This one was the special one that looked far different than all the others she had.

We'll give you back your "girlfriend" once we're done here. I promise she won't be hurt. Riz is super skilled, so you can rest easy.


The two were supremely confident.

Charizard was caught off guard by the Shadow-Ball, hitting him square in the chest. Shaking his head, he roared in triumph as the Gengar fell regardless, and then snarled in annoyance as the Confuse Ray hit him square in the head. He shook his head and took a step or two back, growling, annoyed. He was hurting, but he was still up. He flapped his wings and took off into the air with a grimace on his face. Noticing Diamond now, he moved over to his trainer and snorted. Diamond didn't respond.

They dared address this situation so casually when it came to his Lucario? To Lucy? He gritted his teeth tighter and his knuckles cracked while his hands clenched tightly into fists. "You will let her go now!" he insisted. He took a step forward, and Charizard grunted in affirmation.

Questionable rumors? He cared not. He hadn't done anything worth punishment that he knew of. He had acted on his own interests, sure, but he'd not overtly done anything to subvert Melaine's power or rule over the land. Yet.

Lucy whined and growled, her own Aura flickering around her body in an effort to try and break herself free. Her eyes radiated with a ethereal glow and she snarled in effort. She brought her paws together and her Aura ignited harshly, snapping herself free of the Shadowy Aura keeping her still. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she back flipped gracefully, landing beside Diamond in a fighting stance.

"You do still care." she smiled.

"Don't push your luck, Lucario. I will deal with you later." he quipped. Lucy pouted. When would her partner be back, dammit?

Chloe and Lucian looked towards one another, the same feeling of dread entering their minds at the same time. They were part of the New Ruulan Empire. And they seemed to be highly regarded members of the ones tearing this nation apart. These were the kind of people they wanted to avoid. And now they were here.

Lucian in particular turned to stare at Lucy with a hateful glare. Son of a bitch led them straight to us... he thought bitterly. That was their plan all along.

As the two strangers went on, they realized they had taken interest in the two of them, which did nothing to alleviate the pit in their stomachs. Chloe visibly blinked in surprise when the girl on the left, the one with black hair, mentioned her specifically. That sent chills down her spine and she shuddered at the thought of becoming like one of them. What were they after? She wondered. Why me specifically?

As an added precaution, she recalled the extent of her team. Jirachi, Togekiss, and Slurpuff all were encased in red and disappeared in the blink of an eye. She did take notice of the special PokeBall the black-haired girl held out in front of her like a lingering threat, but figured that the passive route was the way to get out of this. Besides, if they were high ranking members of the NRE, they would undoubtedly be strong...right?

"What do you want?" she had to ask. "Why me?

"Chloe...stay back," Lucian managed to say as he found his way to his feet. His legs trembled slightly as he struggled, shambling forward with much effort. Chloe turned to look at him, but didn't say anything. She knew he was hurt and that he needed time to get better again. Yet he still positioned himself in between Chloe and the two on the other side of the road. What was he doing? She asked herself.

"Look..." he said in between breaths, "We're not interested...in joining your Empire. We're not trying...to overthrow it. We're just trying...to leave the city...the Region...hell, even the planet if we have to. Just leave us alone...and we'll be out of your way."

The siblings saw Lucy break free using her own methods, flipping to Diamond's side. However, they kept their distance away from them, just in case it was some kind of trick the two were playing to get them captured. What little trust Lucy may have earned back when she was trying to convince them had been shattered completely.

When Diamond protested, Riz laughed, formally, refined.

Mweehehehee~ How delightful! You think you're in a position to make demands? That's not befitting your station, Diamond.


Aerys watched Lucian and Chloe carefully as Lucian picked himself up and still moved to stand before Chloe, despite his wounds. She looked impressed at the feat.

What do we want? Why you? Your power and potential have me interested. I like strong and cute Trainers, and you're both at once, whether you know it or not.


When Lucian spoke, her cute smile suddenly dipped into a more sadistic expression, almost as if a shadow crossed the upper half of her face. It was definitely an ominous and stern look.

Whether you are interested or not isn't our concern, handsome. We're not here about that. Consider us here to challenge you to a friendly battle. Though...you aren't capable of battling currently, it seems. No matter, I'm wanting to see what Chloe is capable of, instead.


Riz prepared to speak at this time, only to be interrupted by Lucy breaking the barrier on her own. Riz lightly shielded herself from the kickback, though Aerys stood her ground unflinching in spite of the eruption of energy occurring just beside her. Regaining her composure, Riz continued.

H-How absurd! Urr... No matter, let's see if you escape a second ti-


Riz was cut off by a shake from the special Poke Ball, as the capsule around it glowed, letting out a dust of violet crystal shards in a grandiose display. The ball enlarged as this effect occurred and it opened to release its occupant with an eruption of shadowy energy that felt terrible and powerful. As the white and black energy beam that was released from the Poke Ball took shape in front of Aerys, both girls quickly genuflected in surprise, with Aerys holding the Poke Ball aloft, adopting a posture down on a single knee.

When the energy beam finished shaping into the occupant once held by the Poke Ball, a sight to behold floated before Lucian, Chloe, Diamond, and Lucy. A Diancie in its Mega Evolution, if any were familiar with the species, or this specific one. It was a dark-purple, sylph-like Pokemon around three-and-a-half feet tall that had a black chest and arms that resembled a dress. It also possessed a headdress, which consisted of purple crystals: the four short ones cresting along the top pointed upwards, and the two longer ones on each side of its head, pointed downwards, with an additional heart-cut centerpiece framed by its slim dark-purple ears. A smaller purple crystal was also embedded in the back of its head, from which two smaller gems grew at the bottom. A red nugget was embedded in its forehead and it also had two ribbon-like structures that were growing from the two small gems on the back of its head, each tipped by two small floating rhomboid gems, one for each ribbon. Its eyes were black with pale-purple irises and a red crescent circled its neck, with the ends of the crescent being joined together by a rhomboid gem. A larger red crescent also circled its torso. Its lower body resembled a dress-like structure made of purple gems, with a larger gem that had red pieces supporting it. It was a beauty to behold, noble in design, but dark in a display, its eyes callously lit with malicious intent.

The Ball Capsule's secondary seals activated, allowing a shadowy wisp and purple sparkle effect to shimmer through the violet crystal shards. As the display finished, the Poke Ball closed and returned to its smaller size. The Mega Diancie turned to face Aerys and Riz. Its voice was powerful, girly, and dark, but regal and firm too, in equal measure. A voice formal and refined, commanding of respect, but soft enough to show mercy and compassion if so earned.

Arise, Sauvegarde! Nonpareil!


Immediately, Riz stood and moved to stand at the Mega Diancie's side, her soft smile returning. Aerys stood and reattached the Poke Ball to its spot on her belt. She then advanced to stand opposite Riz, flanking the Mega Diancie. Her smile remained sadistic, almost as if sneering, despite her cute face as a Lass.

The Mega Diancie turned to face Lucian, Chloe, Diamond, and Lucy.
I had to come forth and see what the intensive commotion was about. All of you have such intense air. I must admit, I am very thoroughly impressed. Duchess Impératrice rarely demonstrates such outbursts. O~hoho-hoho~! I'll give you a standing ovation for flustering her so.


The Mega Diancie clapped lightly, mockingly, almost as if applauding a particularly good swing in a game of golf. She seemed to be assessing those who stood before her.

"MY station aside, no one takes my pokemon away from me. I don't care WHO you are." Diamond yelled through gritted teeth, pointing at the woman who dared try to take Lucy away from him. Their combined Aura's subsided slightly, but were still visible around their bodies as everything happened around them. Lucy glanced back over her shoulder, a sorrowful, sorry look in her face as she looked to Lucian - she could sense his emotions and knew, or at least, felt that he felt betrayed. Truthfully there was no way for Lucy to know they would show up, if anyone would know it would have been Diamond - he was the corrupted one.

Riz started to lose her cool at Lucy's breaking her hold, to which Lucy's mood shifted to a smug, happy one. She was about to taunt the girl, saying she'd do it again if she tried, but then, of all ungodly things, Melaine had to go and appear. Lucy growled lowly and lowered into deep fighting stance, a Bone-Rush Staff appearing in her paws. Diamond stepped in front of her and held a hand out to restrain her. His stance was.... courteous, but ready. Ready to make a run for it if he needed.

"Crown Princess..... This is an unexpected... pleasure." he was careful with his words, those eyes of his staring at the self-proclaimed princess of the land.

"Unexpected to see you in a pokeball!" Lucy taunted.

"You will watch your mouth, Lucario, or I will knock out your teeth." Diamond snapped. Lucy's bone rush faded and she gasped, horrified at the thought of Diamond doing something so horrid to her.
