[ Hearthome city, Sinnoh ]

The entire arena seemed flooded with flashlights all around. The grand arena boasted of a Bermuda-grass pitch, covering an area of two thousand square feet, with a gallery holding a housing capacity of two thousand, and by the looks of it, the place was overwhelmed with spectators, who had, despite not getting seats, chosen to stand against the archways if only to get a chance to spectate the grand event that was to be this oncoming match. The final and last attempt at beating the current Sinnoh Champion off her champion status.

"All right, battle fans. It's the time!" The MC yelled over the megaphone, his voice almost hoarse with the constant commentary over the last few days. "The battle we have all been waiting for is finally here. On the red end, we have the defending Champion Cynthia, who shall be defending her status as Sinnoh Champion. Will she be able to maintain her hold? Or will Lucian, Psychic Master, and Elite Four, claim the throne for himself?"

Cynthia stood in her impeccable black robes, staring calmly at the figure of Lucian, the new winner amongst the Elite Four, and the competing trainers over the series of events that had happened over the last months, and finally was in, to challenge the Champion herself. Should Lucian be able to defeat her, her Champion status would be provoked, and she would remain as an Elite-level trainer. However, if she managed to defend it against Lucian and his team of psychics, her position as Champion would be solidified for a year, and more importantly, the Elite Four and the Ace Squad would rightfully accept her as their new leader.

And between her and that outcome, was a single match. A three-on-three battle, between herself and Lucian.

And I will shut all mouths, and prove myself.

She cast a casual glance at the top tier of the gallery. Even from this distance, she could see several of the Elite from other regions standing beyond the glass wall, staring into the battleground beneath them. She knew for a fact that Lance and Steven from Kanto, Wallace, the Champion of Hoenn, Lorelei—Kanto Elite Four, and Diantha, the Champion of Kalos were present there, to name a few. All of them were standing there, some with ulterior motives in mind, some for support, and some like Steven, for pure entertainment.

"And the challenger, Lucian of the Elite Four, will be choosing first." The MC announced. "This will be a three-on-three battle, with no carry-overs, no substitutions."

Lucian, a crimson-haired man, with matching sunglasses, wearing flamboyant robes and a half-arrogant grin on his face, lifted his first ultra ball- before holding it up in Cynthia's direction. "Bronzong, I choose you."

Why am I not surprised? Cynthia mentally drawled. That Bronzong, in question, was Lucian's signature pokémon, much akin to how Garchomp was for herself. For ninety percent of his formal battles, Lucian always allowed Bronzong to deal with his opponents. The steel/psychic type, was his sweeper, his front-line assault, a pokémon powerful enough to deal overwhelming damage to most opponents down the line. It was indeed, a rare occasion, when Bronzong took significant damage, or worse, had fainted mid-battle, only to be substituted with the next in line.

If not for his battle against Flint, I'd have thought Bronzong was his most powerful.

"Are you ready to truly face the wrath of an Elite four, girl?" Lucian taunted.

Cynthia rolled her eyes. The psychic master had forgotten that to become a Champion in the first place, one had to defeat all of the Elite four, and then the reigning Champion. Then again, that was over four months ago, and Lucian would probably have some new aces up his sleeve.

She lifted her Pokeball. "I choose you, Garchomp!"

With an earth-shattering roar, Garchomp slammed his feet onto the ground, materializing out of the ultra ball he was kept in.

"And Cynthia has chosen her Garchomp to battle against Lucian and his Bronzong. Who will win?" The MC continued.

"Bronzong has a dual advantage against your Garchomp. Is this your magnanimity or have you already accepted defeat?"

Nah, I just decided that even when against the tide, my pokémon can wipe the floor with yours. 

Cynthia thought but didn't say.

Lucian had been, not that she needed any reminding, one of the most vocal in opposition to her status as Champion after she had defeated the previous Champion. Ironic, considering that Lucian had been the Elite that she had defeated most soundly back during her working through the Elite circuit.

"Let the Battle begin!" The referee announced from his safe position. After all, only an idiot would prefer to stay in the middle of a battle waged between two monstrosities. And considering that the pokémon battling were both elite-level, 'monstrosity' was one way of defining them.

[ Lavender Tower - Kanto ]

( ~ Boom ~ )

Austin couldn't help but gulp.

Haunter had tanked all of his Pokemon's most powerful attacks as if it was protecting something.

" Du u want to battle ?" 

A horrifyingly distorted voice called out in a sing-along voice.

Austin's mind went blank for a second as he found himself standing over a great meadow but what truly frightened the hell out of him was; the row of headless monks in front of him praying to their mutilated legs that formed a line on the other side.

The prayer beads that these monks wore were connected to the respective monk's decapitated head.

Each one of the heads had three distinct features; the eyes of some were stitched together, the ears of some were stitched together and the mouths of some were sealed by stitches.

At the end of the row was a veil of darkness yet Austin felt as if he was standing before someone ...... no, something.

Austin blinked and found himself back in lavender tower but the entire graveyard was engulfed by an eerie silence as the shiny alpha haunter moved aside as the corpse of Butch moved.

Austin could feel it, that wasn't Butch.

Butch's disfigured body stood up as a manically terrifying grin formed on his face.

" Du u want to battle ?" 

Austin gulped as he built up the courage to say," If I win, will you let me go ?"

The entity's grin faltered as a bone-chilling shriek came from Butch's mouth.

" U want to leave me, why ?! Why don't u stay?"

( ~ Gulp ~ )

" I, I, I am sorry but I can't stay, I have friends waiting for me."

The entity in response chuckled as Butch's eyes were filled with insanity.

" Sure, I'll let you go if u beat me."

" No homo." 

Austin replied as he joked to elevate the fear and anxiety building inside his heart.

The entity walked back as the surrounding tombstones began to be broken and remade together by an esoteric aura as the graveyard was turned into a battlefield.

Austin and Pikachu pushed back the vomit at the back of their throats as the atrocious smell of corpses entered their noses.

Austin telepathically called all his pokemon via Muna. As they speed back to their trainers' side. Everyone in this hall could sense the level of danger this entity possessed.

This wasn't the time to play or goof around. One wrong move and they're dead.

" So what kind of battle should this be ?"

The Entity read through Butch's memories before stating," Let's have a 6 on 6."

[ Omake Paragraph ]

Pikachu is a small species of pokemon that many people find cute, and for this reason have become quite popular as pets, even among people with little interest in pokemon battles. This is an unfortunate fact that leads to many electrocutions, for a Pikachu can be quite dangerous to handle.

Pikachu is a pokemon that store electricity in its cheeks, but this electricity must be released on a semi-regular basis lest the pokemon use powerful electric attacks at random, shocking everything in sight. Typically this is handled by occasionally hooking the rodent up to a special battery which is recharged by its shock, then using the electricity to power the household. Furthermore, they do not only use thundershock to release energy, but also when startled or angry, and they do not have especially forgiving tempers. Many a trainer has been hospitalized or worse when quarreling with their pokemon, some passing away from shock wounds which could have been properly treated were the trainer not embarrassed for how this reflected upon them as a trainer. Moreover, there is the issue of weather; Pikachu can seldom be cooped up inside for long, but they are prone to causing nearby people to be electrocuted in rain, and its tail can attract lightning in thunderstorms. Proper care involves the usage of a Pokeball in inclement weather, but Pikachu is often reluctant to be so confined. Many inexperienced owners are equally reluctant to use them, fearing it will mark them as pokemon trainers and force them to accept challenges and see their precious Pikachu injured.

Despite this, with a gentle spirit and proper caution, Pikachu can make for excellent pets.
