The poll is closed and it's time to see what the dual Typings will be. In 1st place, we have the Fairy typing! And in the 2nd place, we have a 3 way tie! Fire, Ice and Dragon. There's only 1 way for me to decide which of the 3 will be the 2nd type we can use. Fruit Machine! We put the 3 typings into here and pull the lever and the winner IS: Looks like Ice will be the 2nd type I will be using! Thanks to everyone who voted. Since people seemed somewhat interested in this (at least from what I've seen), I'll make another thread to post the videos up on there. But again, thanks to everyone who voted and I hope you all enjoy when the videos start pouring out.

I walked up to the locked door and used the key. Luckily, it worked and the door opened, allowing for us to continue our escape. Charlotte: Nice job Matt. So, are we all still going to my sister’s place in Chrysolia as planned? Laura: Wait. You were all coming up there to begin with? Matthew: Ohh yea. With everything that was going on, I guess I forgot to mention that to you. Laura: It’s alright. It’s just a bit coincidental when you think about it. Makes sense though. Matthew: Anyways, I deff wanna go there now. Shelly: I don’t have anywhere else to go so… Anna: W-We should go quickly, ok? Nostra… isn’t feeling good… Everyone turned to look at Anna. She looked pale and not too well. But maybe that’s what she was saying about herself when she said it was Nostra. I walked over to her. Noel: You’re the 1 that doesn’t look good Anna. You’re pale all over. Matthew: Are you ok Anna? Anna: N-No- I mean yes! It’s definitely Nostra! She says she’s dizzy and tired… Noel: Right… Matthew: Well… If that’s what you say, then I believe you. Noel gave me a confusing glance. We looked away from Anna and whispered to each other. Noel: What do you mean “if that’s what you mean, then I believe you.”? You can see it. She’s pale! Matthew: I know she is Noel but she’s also a little kid and she’s not gonna admit to being sick. Noel: But- Matthew: Plus, arguing with her isn’t gonna make things go any faster here. The way I see it, if you agree with her, the faster we can make it to the house and she’ll be able to get better sooner. Noel: Hmm. I see your point. I guess you’re right. Charlotte: Are you 2 done having your little talk? We need to hurry it up. Cain: Right. Lead the way Charlotte dear.~ Charlotte led the way as the rest of us followed her footsteps. I hadn’t seen this part of Reborn before. A lot of the tracks were broken and even more cracks were down here. I was surprised this place was still standing. We went all the way to the end but it was blocked off. Laura: Another blocked area? Matthew: I don’t think the key I used before is gonna work on this. It doesn’t even have a keyhole. Charlotte: Ugh. This place is just 1 door after another, isn’t it. So how in the world do we get through this 1. Shelly: Um, I-I think I know how… Matthew: How Shelly? Shelly: I think I’ve read about these… When the Railnet was made, they didn’t really want people wandering in and out of it. Matthew: Well… we’re kind of doing that now. Haha. Shelly: -nervously laughs- Anyways, they made gates like this that would open for trains but not for people. Charlotte: Well, it’s not like we have a way to just magically transform into trains Shelly. Shelly: That’s not really how it’s d-done. I think it, um, works on a digital signal. We don’t really need to drive the train itself, but… I think it works if there’s the front of the train on the same track connected to this. Laura: So all we have to do is make the tracks connect and this will open right? Shelly: It s-should… But this place is so messy and cracked up… I don’t know if it’s possible. You gotta connect the tracks here. No debris or cracked tracks will work. Matthew: Don’t worry. I’ll go connect the tracks together. This will be gone soon. Anna: Please try to hurry up… Nostra feels like she’s getting worse… Noel: I think if you find the train 1st, it’ll be easier to figure out what tracks to connect it to here Matt. Matthew: Good idea Noel. Don’t worry Anna. We’ll be there soon. Then we can take care of Nostra. Laura: Can I come hun? Matthew: Sure. I think it’ll make things better. Be back as soon as we can guys. Cain: Good luck you 2! No quick rabbit stops if you know what I mean.~ Laura: Rabbit stops? Matthew: Umm… Let’s just get going babe huh? We left the group and went to search for the train. Luckily for us, it didn’t take long to find it. Matthew: Sweet. We found it. Laura: Now let’s follow the tracks and see what tracks to switch it to. As we searched for the right tracks for the train to be on, a curious question flowed into my head. Matthew: Can I ask you something babe? Laura: Sure. What is it? Matthew: How did you get here if both of those doors were closed? Laura: Well when I came here, they were both opened. They must have closed them sometime after I came through. Matthew: Ohh. Yea. That makes sense. Laura: Wait. Did you think that I was part of- Matthew: What? Part of them? No babe! Never. I was just curious. That’s all. Laura: Well… alright. Hey. I think we almost got this. Matthew: How do you know? Laura: Because the last switch is right in front of the group. Matthew: Ohh… I knew that. Laura: Haha. Ohh hun. You’re so silly. We pulled the lever and the object blocking the way forward suddenly moved which meant we could continue on with our plan of going to the house Charlotte was talking about. Charlotte: Nice job you 2. Now let’s get out of here. The group left the tunnel and out into the wilderness. It felt good to be outside for once. But as soon as everyone came out, Heather had Salamence come out, jumped onto it and then flew off into the sky, going who knows where. Everyone looked on. Some in confusion and some in somewhat anger. Shelly: Ohh… Umm, Ok then. Bye? Laura: Well… That’s- Matthew: Heather… Fuck. Laura: Why would she do that? Shelly: -whispering to herself- It’s not like I wanted to help my friend out or anything. Cain: Aaaaaaand the second she sees moonlight she’s gone. Riiiiight. Charlotte: Well, what can we do about it? Matthew: Nothing. Let’s just continue on with our current plan. Charlotte: I agree. Is everyone ready? Cain: Actually guys, I’m still gonna go after her. I hope that’s ok. It’s just until I make sure she’s safe. Matthew: Dude, it wouldn’t feel right if you didn’t go after her. It’s cool. We got things handled here. We’ll see you later man. It’s been fun. Cain: Thanks Matt.~ Bye everyone. Charlotte: Later Princess. Cain walked passed everyone and went out of view. Everyone looked back to the twins when Noel spoke. Noel: Guys, she’s practically white. Anna: N-No, I’m fine! Nostra’s the 1 not feeling good! Remember? Charlotte: Then let’s keep going. We need to get to safety and make sure “Nostra” can rest. Follow me guys. Everyone went up north and entered a cave. As everyone walked through the cave, Laura and Charlotte walked up to a metal object. They seemed confused. Charlotte: This metal junk is new. Laura: Yea. This wasn’t here before. Matthew: Jeez. How fast are these Meteor people? Suddenly, the ground started to shake. Little rocks fell from the top of the cave down to the ground. Luckily no 1 was hurt but everyone wondered what caused that mini earthquake. Matthew: Earthquakes? This just never stops does it. Charlotte: Come on. Let’s keep moving. We’re almost there. We continued up through the cave. There was more metal things inside the cave and more mini earthquakes. When me and Laura caught up, Charlotte was waiting for us. Laura: What are you doing Charlotte? We’re almost there. Charlotte: I know. Is it ok if I talk to Matt here for a second? Laura: Uhh… Yes sure. See you in a bit babe. -kisses Matthew- Matthew: -kisses back- See ya babe. I watched as Laura disappeared through a passage and presumably into the light. I turned towards Charlotte but she had a serious look on her face. It took me aback for a second there. Matthew: Umm… Is everything al- Charlotte: So you and my sister are together huh? Why? Matthew: Because we like each other? Charlotte: Listen to me. She’s 1 of the best sisters anyone could ever hope for and I’ll be damned if she gets her heart broken. Matthew: Whoa whoa. I would never do that to her Charlotte. Charlotte: Hmm. We’ll see about that. But I will say this. She seems to have broken out of her shell since you 2 have gotten together. So I guess that’s a positive. Just treat her good and we don’t got a problem. Alright? Matthew: Trust me Charlotte. I would never do anything to hurt your sister. Charlotte: I’m gonna hold you to that. Now let’s go. We’re nearly there. Charlotte raced to the exit of the cave and I followed suit. I made it to the exit of the cave and went outside. The sight was beautiful. I could see the house across a beautiful looking lake. And a lot of pretty flowers. I walked around the lake to get to the house. I caught up to Charlotte again. She seemed to be counting something. Matthew: Umm… What are you doing Charlotte? Charlotte: These flower rings… 1, 2, 3… 8. 1, 2… 8… 8… -sighs- Laura’s been at it again. Well before she came looking for us. Matthew: What do you mean? Charlotte: I don’t know why but she does a lot of things in eights. Matthew: Ohh. Charlotte: Anyways, we’re here. Can’t wait for you to see the inside. Charlotte ran ahead and I followed. I was at the front door and walked inside. The inside looked fantastic. Lots of cool couches and things. Except there wasn’t any tv here. Which kinda made me upset but we weren’t here for tv. We were here to hideout. Laura: So? What do you think hun? Matthew: I love it. Charlotte: I see you’ve done some… redecorating. Laura: Well, while I was here, I decided to do that and clean and do a little gardening. Charlotte: I’ve noticed. Noel: I don’t mean to interrupt but is there anywhere Anna can lie down? Nostra isn’t feeling better… apparently. Matthew: Shit. I forgot. Laura: It’s alright hun. You 2 come with me upstairs. -takes Noel and Anna upstairs- Charlotte: You might already know this but Laura was kept with us at the orphanage as well until very recently. Matthew: I figured. She never told me but I figured. I think I met her the day she was leaving. Shelly: R-Really…? Matthew: Mhm. I bumped into her and well… I crushed on her. Charlotte: Alright. Keep the lovey dovey shit for you 2. Not everyone here wants to know the details. Matthew: Ohh shush Charlotte. Shelly: Umm, Charlotte? C-Can I ask you something? Charlotte: What is it? Shelly: Well… What did happen to your parents? Matthew: Uhh Shell- Charlotte: That’s not important right now. Shelly: O-Oh, I’m sorry… Laura: -comes back downstairs- Poor thing. She went right to sleep and is running an awful fever… Matthew: That’s not good. Charlotte: Don’t we have any medicine around here? Laura: I checked all the cabinets and we’re all out. But I think the PokeMart in Spinel Town should be selling some. Matthew: Spinel Town? Charlotte: Alright. Matt, you should go into town and get some medicine for Anna. Matthew: Wait. Me? Why should I go? Charlotte: Just shush and listen to me. Spinel Town is completely separate from the city. Go back through the cave and the way Cain went earlier and you should be able to find it. Matthew: I’m still waiting on the reason I should be the 1 to go. Shelly: Umm, I think that there’s a Gym Leader there, if I’m not mistaken… Matthew: … Sold. Laura: Ohh hun! Before we go out, you should rest up 1st upstairs with me. Charlotte: I don’t think there’s any time for… that. Laura: What? No! I just wanna spend some time with my man.~ Matthew: Yea. We gotta talk though. It’s not bad. Just we need to talk. Laura: Ohh. Alright. Meet you upstairs then Matthew. Laura went running upstairs. I walked up the stairs and looked into the other bedrooms before finding the 1 Laura was in. She was sitting on the edge of the bed and patted a spot next to her, indicating for me to sit there next to her. I went over and sat down next to her. We each grabbed each other’s hands and held them. Laura: I can’t wait to go with you to Spinel Town. Matthew: About that- Laura: It’ll be romantic to walk around the forest with you. Matthew: But the thing is- Laura: It’s been a while since we’ve been alone. Matthew: Laura! Laura: Ohh sorry. Were you trying to say something sweetie? Matthew: -sighs- You should stay here babe? Laura: What? Why? Matthew: I just think that’d be the best idea for now. Laura: Did… did I do something wrong? Matthew: No. Of course not hun. You’ve been perfect. I just think you should stay here and keep an eye on everyone here. Plus, you just got your sister back. I think you 2 should spend some time with each other. Laura: But… But hun. Matthew: Come on Laura. You know it’s true. You need to spend time with her. I mean, you left here to go in search for her after all. And now that she’s free and here, you wanna just ignore her? Laura: You’re… You’re right hun. I should spend some time with her. Matthew: Thank you hun. Laura: Just… be careful alright? Matthew: I will be hun. We both leaned into each other and kissed each other. We sat there for a couple of minutes talking. I knew I had to leave to get the medicine and my next badge. So, I got up, said goodbye to Laura and exited the bedroom. Before going though, I checked into Anna’s bedroom to see how she was doing. Noel looked at me with a worried look on his face. Matthew: Hey. How’s she doing? Noel: She fell asleep as soon as she laid down. That man… When he took the pendant, she started to feel sick. Matthew: Don’t worry. I’m gonna go get some medicine for her. And we’ll get back her pendant. -walks over to Anna- Get better soon dudette. I’m gonna make you feel better. I exited the room and the house and started to travel towards Spinel Town. This felt weird being by myself again. No 1 around me. No 1 to talk to or joke around with. Just me. It was somewhat late out too so that was a little bit more weird. But I knew I had to get the medicine for Anna. Before entering through a passage, I saw a sign that said “Chrysolia Forest.” I walked through and saw that the train tracks somewhat disappeared. I had to try to go through these trees and little openings. But something weird was going on. Things were disappearing and appearing. I’d go into 1 area, it’d be blocked off and when I’d go back, that way would be blocked off by a big tree that wasn’t there before. Maybe the tiredness was getting to me but I felt like it wasn’t that. Something was making these trees and debris disappearing and appearing. I was getting super annoyed with this. I just wanted the medicine and my next gym badge. I was finally seeing new area to the forest. I started to run through the rest of the way, in hopes that I’d hopefully get through it. Finally, I saw a passage to another area. I stopped in front of it, got on my knees and bowed to it. I got back up and walked through the passage and entered Spinel Town. It looked weird though. Like there were some things here that didn’t belong. For instance, there was a train in front of me and it was on no tracks. Someone saw me coming through and he came running up to me. Stranger: No dude. You gotta go. It isn’t safe here. Matthew: Why? What’s wrong? Stranger: This town… Things just disappear and appear in different places. You gotta go man. Be safe. Matthew: Well I came here for medicine. I can’t just leave. Excuse me. I walked past the man and explored the town. He wasn’t lying. Things were zapping in and out all over the place here. I wondered what in the hell was going on but I just wanted to go do what I came here for and then go back to where everything made sense. I saw the PokeMart. I ran up to it. As soon as I was like a step or 2 away, the whole mart disappeared. I stood there in disbelief. Matthew: The… The mart… It just… Wha… Random woman: Did the mart just disappear? Ohh well. I reckon it should show up somewhere not too far from here. Matthew: … Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

So I debated if I should vote on my own thing here and I decided that I would and count it. Now I know a lot of you's that read it and see the ones that I picked out are gonna be like "Well if those are the ones you originally wanted to use, why do this voting thing then?" Because I like interacting with you guys. I like doing things you all would want me to do in a Pokémon game. It's fun to interact with you all. I don't mind doing a typing I wasn't planning on using. So far, I think the most votes are Fairy. I've barely used Fairy Types in the past so this will be fun to me. I look forward to more votes and to those that already did vote, thank you very much.

This is probably my favorite Episode yet. You're doing a fantastic job on this. Can't wait for the next update.

Never heard of this til today (just checked out the site for the game) and wow. I can't wait to play it. I like how they added an LP option to that. That's gonna be fun as hell to record and fun as hell to play. Can't wait! And I'm prob gonna choose Staryu as a starter. And the Relic Pokémon are awesome as hell.

Yay! More Pokémon stuff for me to read! Can't wait for more of this to come out! Nice job!

Honesty was not expecting Fairy to be in the lead. Haha. xD What did you do @Wolfox?

Wow. There's a lot of hate for this game. o.o I mean everyone has their opinions. I for 1 enjoyed it. It's not perfect but it was entertaining. I've only ever gone up to the end of the last demo (when you face the the lady with the Legendary Pokémon from the Black and White games). Hell, I won't even let myself watch through the rest of Nappy's playthrough on that cus Idw to be spoiled. xD But anyways... I have no idea why I just went on a rant there. Sorry for that. But I appreciate all the votes I've gotten! You all are... AAAAWWWWEEEESSSSOOOOMMMMEEEE!!! Btw, when I finally decide to do this and there's a tie for 1st or 2nd, I'm just gonna use a random name generator to pick the winner.

I will be fucked up by the 3rd shot. I'm a heavyset guy but a lightweight when it comes to drinking alcoholic beverages. xD

So I'm doing my run of Reborn and I randomly think of Insurgence and how I never finished it. So, I plan on starting a new playthrough with that sometime in the near future. (Probably when my 2 runs get done battling Serra) But, I'm gonna do this a little differently. Just like how the Gym Leaders of this region basically use dual typings, I too am going to be doing a Dual Typing run. So, I want you all to get on here and vote for your favorite type or whatever and in a couple of days when I decide to do this, the 2 most voted types will be the ones I use in this playthrough. So say for instance that Bug and Ghost get the most voted and 2nd most voted votes, then I'd only be able to use Bug and Ghost Types. So have fun voting!

So I am a little bit stuck with the next part of this. Don't worry. I didn't lose the game file or anything like that. But I can't decide on this 1 thing. It's not big or anything but Idk. So I'm letting you all decide. I finally played up to the part where everyone makes it to the mansion that belongs to Charlotte's, Laura's and Saphira's parents. I'm about to go into the woods (that fucking place!) and I can't decide if I should have Laura come with me or not. On 1 hand, it'd be cool because "Hey. What could Laura do in this version of the story where El, Bennett and Serra are introduced." Plus, she's my (in-game) gf and it'd be cool to see us exploring the woods and town together. But on the other hand, she hasn't seen her sister for a long time. Now in my head, I kind of made her just a bit clingy to me. So before I'd leave, I'd say something to her to make her catch up with her sister and then go alone and do the events without her there. In a way, I've already did that with her in the last chapter, although it was basically to fend off grunts but it's still the same thing. Just a different situation. So what do you guys think I should do. Let Laura come with me or have her stay with her sister and catch up?

Ahh. Sorry about that. Idk why I thought it was Amaria despite literally just reading it before asking that. xD

Just curious. Is Amaria silent or is she gonna talk?

We pushed open the doors and walked inside. The place looked like hell. The lights were going on and off. Things were all over the floor. Cracks all over the floor. Then I realized something. Matthew: Hey. What is this building for? It looks like it went through hell. Cain: This is the old Yureyu building. Laura: It was destroyed when the earthquakes started. It’s… kinda creepy. Matthew: It’s ok hun. -holds Laura’s hand- I’m here with you. Laura: -smiles at me- Thanks hun. Cain: So what’s the plan here? Matthew: Well, me and you have a full team so I honestly think it’d be a good idea for us to be up front to take on the upcoming grunts. Laura: Well what do I do? Matthew: You back us up on the rear. In case a couple grunts try to get the sneak on us. I know you only have 1 Pokemon but I think you’ll be able to handle it babe. Cain: Alright. Well I’ll follow your lead here Matthew. I never really did the whole “team up” thing before so… Be gentle Senpai! It’s my 1st time! Matthew: Uhh… Sure? Let’s go! I led the group with Cain behind me and Laura in the back. We walked upstairs and were berated with battles from Team Meteor Grunts. Me and Cain were able to hold off the many of them that were in front of us as Laura was able to beat the few that tried to attack from behind. We went up to the next room. As we came to an opening, me and Cain both were shocked but also happy to see Shelly. Matthew & Cain: Shelly?! Team Meteor Grunt #1: Stop right there! Take another step closer and we’ll slit her throat. Matthew: What?! Shelly: Matthew… C-Cain… I’m s-scared… Cain: You wouldn’t dare. Team Meteor Grunt #2: Just keep on moving and we’ll pretend we didn’t see anything… Got it? Laura: Shelly! Oh my Arceus… Shelly: I-Is that L-Laura…? Laura: It is. We’ll save you somehow Shelly. They wouldn’t hurt you like that. Team Meteor Grunt #1: Orders come from the boss. If anyone tries to interfere, we kill her. It’s as simple as that. Cain: Hey, now. Matthew: Grrrr. Why you- Shelly: I-It’s ok… J-Just keep going… Forget about me… Whatever happens t-to me… It doesn’t matter o-ok? Matthew: Shelly… Cain: I’m sorry Shelly… Laura: We’ll come back for you! I promise! It really pained me and Cain, even Laura, but we had no other choice but to leave Shelly there with her captors til we came up with a way to save her. The only thing we could do was continue going up. As we did, we could see another opening in the room. Me and Cain lit up when we saw who it was. Matthew & Cain: Charlotte! Charlotte: It’s about damn time you showed up, Princess and Matthew. Cain: We… ran into some other issues. Charlotte: Whoa. I can tell. What happened to you cheek Matt? Matthew: I had an incident with a Garchomp. I was saving someone from it. Charlotte: Ohh yea? Who? Laura passed Cain and into Charlotte’s view. Her expression changed from chill to happiness. Laura: Me. Charlotte: L-Laura…? Is that you? Laura: Mhm. Charlotte: Well wha… what are you doing here? Laura: I saw on the news that you all escaped and then I ran into Matthew and ever since then, we’ve been trying to rescue you guys. And also… Well… Matthew: Let’s save that for later Laura. Right now seems like a bad time for story time. Plus, your sister is being held by Team Meteor Grunts. Team Meteor Grunt #3: Back away or we’ll kill her! Laura: Don’t you- Charlotte: Really guys? You’re still on that? Team Meteor Grunt #4: Well you know… That’s what the boss said to say so- Charlotte: Sirius… That’s your boss right? Well whatever. Just set it aside from now. Meet my friends and sister. This is Matthew, Laura and Cain. Or as I like to call him, Princess. Guys, this is Simon and Tara. Simon: We’ve met… Tara: Matt best us before. I’m still mad about that! Matthew: Ohh boo hoo. Cry me a river. Cain: Didn’t you kinda start it though? Laura: Wait. Charlotte? You made friends with them? Why? They kidnapped you and everyone else… Charlotte: They’re people too sis. They just happen to be on a different side from us. Matthew: Yea. A side that has tried to kill your sister and I. Charlotte: Yea. Well… Ugh. It beats being tied up. Simon: Hey! It’s not like we can just let you go because of some casual conversation! Charlotte: Hmm? Ohh. Right. Matt. Princess. Do you 2 wanna do the honors here? Matthew: No problem. Tara: Can’t you tell your friends to stop being good Charlotte? Charlotte: I have a better idea. Why don’t you just stop being bad? Cain: Yea! Haha. Quit Team Meteor and join the good guys! Simon: I cannot. Matthew: Tch. Of course you can’t. Charlotte: Why’s that? Simon: When our work is done, I will have a new life… A better 1. Laura: What do you mean…? Everything you’re doing to the city, it’s not doing any good. Tara: Team Meteor is going to rebuild the world! By throwing in with them now, we earn a place at the top later! Matthew: What does that even mean? Cain: What about this world? Simon: Easy. It’ll be erased. Vanished. Gone. Matthew: Are we really listening to this? That sounds so idiotic. Charlotte: Wait Matt. I wanna hear them out. Simon: We know what we do is harmful- Matthew: Yea. Look at my cheek. Laura: -places her hand on my shoulder- Hun… Matthew: Whatever. Continue. Simon: As I was saying, once we succeed, all of this pain? It’ll never have existed. Charlotte: Hmph. The end justifies the means. Tara: Exactly! Charlotte: I suppose that’s cool. Anyways, I’m leaving now. Bye. Charlotte walked away from Simon and Tara and joined with us. She and Laura gave each other a hug. I could see Laura trying to hold back tears. I, along with everyone else, looked back at Tara and Simon who had a shocked expression on their face. Matthew: Uhh… What? Simon: What are you- Charlotte: What are those looks for? It’s not like you can stop me. -Charlotte focuses on the group as does everyone else- Hey. Where’s Shelly? She’s on the floor below. Why didn’t you rescue her? Laura: We tried to rescue her but we were threatened by 2 Grunts. Cain: They said if we came any closer to her, they’d slit her throat. Charlotte: … Uh huh. Charlotte walked past us and continued her way down the stairs. Laura had a worried look on her face. Matthew: What’s wrong hun? Laura: Charlotte… Cain: I’m sure she’ll be fine.~ Laura: It’s not that… She doesn’t make the best choices and if she’s down there- Matthew: Shit. Let’s go down there! The 3 of us ran downstairs in time to catch Charlotte before she could make a move. Laura: Charlotte, wait! Team Meteor Grunt #1: Don’t come any closer or we’ll cut her throat! Shelly: I-I’m scared… Charlotte: Do it then. Matthew: Wait. What? Cain: What?! Laura: You’re not serious Charlotte… Charlotte: Kill her. See if I care. Shelly: Ch-Charlotte?! Charlotte: Hey. She’s not my sister. Why should I care. I’m just gonna flip this switch here so we can get upstairs. Matthew: -whispering so only Cain and Laura can hear- Laura, your sister is fucking nuts! Laura: I know! Team Meteor Grunt #2: We really will! Charlotte: Like I’ve said, do it. Killing her doesn’t affect me at all. So kill her as you like. Cain: Charlotte… Why…? In a very fast motion, Charlotte flipped the switch and then too Shelly out of harms way. Charlotte: Matthew! Princess! Now! Matthew: You got it! Cain and I threw out our PokeBalls and started the battle. It didn’t take long as we came out victorious. We went back to the gang. Laura: What was that Charlotte?! Shelly: Ch-Charlotte, I th-thought you really d-did want me d-dead… Matthew: I gotta agree with her. I thought you completely lost it when you did that. Charlotte: Of course not. You helped me escape from the orphanage. -looks back at me and Cain- All of you did. -looks back at Shelly- I respect you all for that. But you can make someone lose control making them believe they already don’t have any. Cain: Well why didn’t you warn us 1st before just pulling off that crazy stunt? Matthew: -grabs onto Cain’s shoulder- Think about it. If we knew about it, our reactions wouldn’t have been so real. They would have known something was up. While in a way I am pissed that she did it, I’m glad she did. It worked. Charlotte: Exactly. I don’t want you hurt Shelly. Now let’s go. Heather and the twins are up further. The 5 of us walked up the next couple of floors and came face to face with a couple of Team Meteor Knights, as they called themselves. Noel was held up in a cell. Charlotte: So you’re just keeping them locked up as if they were in a zoo? What kind of corporate building has cells like these anyways? Laura: Yea. This is really weird. Team Meteor Knight #1: This hasn’t been a corporate building for a long time. Surely you’ve heard how years ago, Yureyu was the centerpiece of Reborn’s economy. Shelly: Y-Yea… Then the earthquakes happened and the place was destroyed… Cain: And the company broke down. Team Meteor Knight #2: Wrong! Matthew: What do you mean? What do you know about this? Team Meteor Knight #1: Earthquakes weren’t the cause of Yureyu’s closing. It was us! Team Meteor! Charlotte: No way. Laura: That can’t be. Cain: Wait wait. What? Team Meteor Knight #2: We infiltrated the company over time, then shut them down from the inside out. Noel: And that’s when the closure of Yureyu’s Power Plant that led to the city’s downfall… So Team Meteor was successful in destroying Reborn City the 1st time. Matthew: Yea? Well it’s gonna be the last time! Team Meteor Knight #1: Pipe it Matthew! We were set to do it again by destroying Julia’s Neo-Circuit Power Plant. But then YOU got in the way Matthew! Matthew: Are you expecting me to feel bad or something? Look at what 1 of your Admins did to my cheek! Team Meteor Knight #2: Nice scar. Too bad he couldn’t do more. Team Meteor Knight #1: Yea. Maybe we can do even more to you. Sounds like a good way to get revenge on you right? Matthew: I’ve had enough of this. You ready Cain? Cain: Ready whenever you are buddy!~ Team Meteor Knight #1: -steps aside- Do as you wish. It won’t make a difference in the end. Matthew: We’ll see about that. Noel: They took Anna, as well as Heather, upstairs. The Doctor and a weird guy are up there. Be careful. Charlotte: Don’t worry. I’m sure it’ll be nothing to Matthew and Princess here. Cain: You’re really sticking with that name aren’t you? Haha… Charlotte: Well you definitely earned it. Noel: They also took something from Anna. Matthew: What’d they take? Noel: It’s an Amethyst Pendant. It’s very important to her. Our real father gave it to us. At the orphanage, all we had was Nomos, Nostra and that pendant. Charlotte: Why the hell would Meteor want something like that? Matthew: Shit. Cain: What is it Matt? Matthew: I’m not too sure on why they need it but they need 4 items to open a door or something. I didn’t catch everything… Solaris… said to me way back on my adventure here. But Heather has a Ruby Ring. I’m almost sure they’re gonna try to take that as well. Charlotte: Well whatever. I’ll get to work on getting this cage open. You guys go on ahead. Laura: Alright. Let’s go Matt. Matthew: Wait hun. I think right now you should stay here and try to help your sister opening the cell door. Or help Shelly to make sure no more Team Meteor Grunts try to come after us. Laura: But… Why? Matthew: If it’s only the Doctor and another dude, then there shouldn’t be anymore Grunts up there. But there could be more trying to come up here. It’d be much more helpful if you stayed here and fended them off and also help your sister free Noel. Laura: But Matt… Matthew: Laura, I’ll be back. I promise. Laura: … Alright. Fine. You better come back unharmed though. Matthew: I intend to. Come on Cain. We got this. Me and Cain continued our way upstairs. When we reached the top, we hugged the wall to see if we could see anything but all we could see was an Electivire and Heather. Cain: -whispering- Do you think she’s ok? Matthew: -whispers back- I’m not sure. Dr. Sigmund: So you’ve returned. Matthew: What? But… how did you- Dr. Sigmund: I must confess that it was fortunate that Sirius of this “Team Meteor” came me with the proposal that he did. Matthew: Hey. Give her back to us and I might not knock you on your ass. Dr. Sigmund: Haha. Simpleton threats won’t work on me. Now where was I? Ahh yes. He had the means to capture my fugitives and for payment he needed only to extract from this girl a single object. Matthew: No… Not that… Dr. Sigmund: -holds up the jewelry- This Ruby Ring. Cain: Give back Heather and the ring Dr. Geezer. Dr. Sigmund: You continue to disrespect me! Cain: What are you even doing with her? Dr. Sigmund: Well at his behest, I hold her captive for questioning later. Though… I doubt that will be fruitful. Matthew: What did you do to her?! Dr. Sigmund: Nothing. She has become withdrawn to the point of silence. Cain: And who’s fault do you think that is? After what you did to her, she may never speak again! Dr. Sigmund: Loss of speech is not among effects of electroconvulsive therapy. Matthew: I have no idea what you just said but that just sounds painful. Dr. Sigmund: Well despite how the word sounds boy, she hasn’t lost her ability to speak. Only her will. Cain: Well I still believe you caused it. Dr. Sigmund: Matthew was it? I heard you had a scuffle with a certain admin on Pyrous Mountain. And by the mark on your face, I’d say he didn’t leave without showing his dominance to you. Matthew: … Don’t push me dude. Dr. Sigmund: You present with such animosity. Do you intend to fight me to reclaim the girl? Or perhaps you’ll accept… a different solution. Cain: What do you mean a different solution? Dr. Sigmund: Are you going to fight me? Cain: Of course we- Matthew: Wait… Cain. Listen to me. We will save Heather but for now, I wanna get back at Team Meteor for what they did to me and tried to do to Laura. Cain: Huh? But Matt. He is a part of Team- Matthew: Barely. He just joined because he wants the kids back. And I get it. He deserves to get thrashed too. But if the man upstairs is who I think it is, I wanna take out my vengeance out on him rather than the Doctor. Please. Cain: Urm… Fine. You’ll get yours someday Doctor. But it won’t be today. Dr. Sigmund: I am so grateful. But just as well. I won’t stop you from proceeding onwards. Cain: Why? Dr. Sigmund: I may have invested myself with this “Team meteor” but I have no regard for their malevolent actions. Although, I do find myself bound to their service for a different reason entirely. Matthew: Yea? What’s that? Dr. Sigmund: Strictly a matter of my own curiosity. There’s a name I hear thrown about among the officers. It’s a name… I used to know, but it cannot possibly be… Ahem. Pardon me. I was speaking too much. Matthew: Hey. Something we both can finally agree on. Dr. Sigmund: … This time, only, I will turn away. Dr. Sigmund turned around towards Heather and just stood there. I could have tried anything but I didn’t. I just wanted to face the man from upstairs. Plus, I was afraid if I did try anything the Electivire would attack Heather. Even though I felt bad, I went upstairs with Cain. In that room, we saw Sirius talking to Anna. I could see he was holding a piece of jewelry. It was the Amethyst Pendant. Sirius: Strange, isn’t it? We needed only to ensnare the Ruby but we also caught the Amethyst. Anna: Hey! That’s my pendant! Give it back please! It’s… it’s the only thing I have left of my father… Sirius: You say your father gave this to you? Him… He was ALWAYS a fool! Anna: Wait. You knew my dad?! Sirius: Hmhmhm. Cain: Alright buddy. I think you should just give the girl her stuff back.~ Matthew: I agree. Then, I can totally mess you up. Anna: Matthew! Cain! Sirius: Why are you up here? Did the Doctor fail to detain you 2? Old fool… Well, I suppose that task now is left to me alone then. Cain: Good luck with that. Sirius: This Amethyst Pendant and… the other girl’s Ruby Ring… Do you have ANY inkling of their power…? Matthew: Somewhat? Solaris… likes to talk a lot. Sirius: Silence! I will not relinquish such items for mere sentimentalities. You want them? See if you can claim them. Matthew: You’re just gonna make this more difficult for yourself. Sirius: Ahh yes. Before we begin. Matthew, you said you were going to mess me up before correct? Matthew: Yes. And I intend to do that after this battle. Sirius: Well it’s not as messed up as your cheek now is it? Cain: Whoa. Not cool man. Matthew: You’re gonna regret that. Matthew: Now that that’s settled, you ready for your face to be messed up? Sirius: Hmph. I’m through with these silly games. I have what I wanted. I’ll be leaving now. As Sirius attempts to leave, I grab him by the collar and pull him close up to me. Matthew: I told you I was gonna mess you up. I was fucking around with you. I curled my fingers up into a fist and went to throw some punches to his fist but as I went to hit him for the 1st time, Cain grabbed my hand and stopped me. Matthew: -turns head to look at Cain- What are you doing?! Let me get at him! Cain: Listen to me. You have every right to beat him to hell and back right now- Matthew: Then let me do it! Cain: But you can’t do it in front of her. -points to Anna- She’s been through so much right now and this is just gonna make it worse. I know you wanna get your hands on him but this isn’t the time. Please… Cain let go of my hand. I kept it held up there for a couple of seconds thinking what I should do. At last, I put my hand down and let go of Sirius. Sirius backed away from me and continued to walk out the door. Matthew: -loud enough for him to hear me- Next time I see you, we’re gonna have a real fight! Cain: Anna, are you alright? Anna: Y-Yeah but he… he has my pendant… D-Daddy’s pendant… I don’t even remember my father… and that guy does? How is that fair?! I’m going after him! Cain: -steps in the way and stops Anna- Whoa there! Calm down, it’s ok! It’ll be ok.~ With as much as Team Meteor likes to get in the way, you know we’ll be seeing him again. Matthew: He’s right Anna… Plus, we don’t even know where they went to. Cain: Let’s just get you guys to safety 1st alright?~ Anna: B-But he took something… that’s part of my soul… Matthew: Hey. -turns Anna to face him- We’ll get it back for you. I promise. -bends down and hugs her- Anna: Alright… Thanks Matthew. Matthew: Cain, take her to the others and get out of here. Cain: What are you gonna do? Matthew: I’m gonna search this room for a bit. See if there’s anything to collect. Cain: Alright. Don’t take too long. See you in a few. Cain took Anna back down to the others. I stayed up in the room checking the tables and floor for anything that was useful. I eventually found a key. I didn’t know what it was used for but I decided to keep it with me just in case it was needed. After searching the building a bit more, I decided to leave the room and the building altogether. I exited the building and started walking towards the Underground Railnet. As I did, I looked back at the building and then back to where I was walking. I entered the Underground Railnet and joined everyone. Laura came running up to me and tackle hugged me. Laura: Ohh Matt! I was so worried about you! I’m so glad you’re ok! Matthew: I’m alright babe. I’m alright. Heh. Charlotte: Wait. Babe? Are you 2… Laura: That’s what I was gonna tell you when we were in the building. Charlotte: What the… Ok. I did NOT see that coming. How? Why? Matthew: See how my cheek is all messed up looking? Charlotte: Yea? Matthew: Well, that was from a Garchomp trying to kill your sister and me pushing her out of the way and having it slice right through my cheek. Charlotte: … Holy fuck dude. Laura: And then afterwards, I decided to be his girl. How can I not? He risked his life for me! Charlotte: I mean I get it but… it’s just not expected. Matthew: I’m so glad she is with me though. I’m also glad everyone here is safe. Laura: Me too hun. Charlotte: Ohh yea. I tried to open the door to continue through but it wouldn’t open. I think it’s locked. What do we do now? Matthew: Well… -holds up a key- this might be the answer. Laura: You’re so great babe. Matthew: I know. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES
