Poke'mon Battlegrounds- CHAPTER 2 [OPEN]

[Sutoratosu]

Stratos and Azauqyar- Salamence and Rayquaza

"My lord, on your 4!" Stratos called into his master's mind, just before turning again to Alucard with those blazing eyes of his. If the phantom was just going to fuck with the boundaries between dimensions, he'd obviously have to start fighting differently... and the fact of paralysis didn't help much, given they were now both in the same boat.

Stratos had a plan though. He could still feel the enhanced speed of his armor as he raised himself higher into the air, eyes gleaming a dark purple as the shadows all around the battle field began to do something strange... writhe and shriek in agony as if souls released from hell, undulating at Stratos's will as they shot off towards Alucard's form below like rockets... then congealed together into countless, razor sharp claws that went to begin striking at the phantom, closing in from every possible direction as the shadows seemed to swirl as though alive...

Little did anyone know the true mastery Stratos had over each and every last one of his moves and techniques. Even with the ghost's tricks, this fight... was far from over. And stratos's armor was blazing it's bright emerald green all the while, strong winds picking up and blowing away the dust cloud that had began to choke the air...

Azauqyar meanwhile needed no warning from his champion of the girls incoming assualt. Without a word, he turned his heavy maw just as he saw her preparing her ice punches, his body seemed to become a blur and a multitude of copies formed in the battleground, each of them keeping eyes on the girl before nodding to those various Noctowls standing beside the Xatu's outside the barriers. Within an instant, they all linked mental forces as they reached out with a torrent of astounishing telekinetic force and tried to seize control of the rampaging Lucario's body, all the while sending a combined hypnotic bout of telepathy into her mind, and no one but hers, hoping to quell her rage into slumber...

Dragan - Garchomp

On the way to the borders where the sneasels were, one gabite went and spoke to the champion "Um, sir, permission to speak freely?" Dragan responded "Yes, you may." The gabite questioned "Why did you consider speaking to a magic kingdom troop about forming an alliance or asking for forgiveness?" Dragan responded "We took the queen, and as for the alliance part. Trust me on this, if we can form an bond with them, we will be nearly unstoppable with psychic, ghost, and fairy with our side. We will be strong enough to take on the nearly unstoppable sky kingdom. But due to our king actions, we could of leave her as queen it is. Our king practically ruined most of our chances for alliance with the magic kingdom. Now get back to your position!" The gabite responded with a yes sir

AT THE BORDER

The dragons can see the sneasels at the border south west of the kingdom. When they met, Dragan spoke "Sneasels, your reports."

[Commander]

King Cold - Glalie

The King was annoyed the Cloyster had to wake him from his nap. The army didn't need to get into a meddlesome conflict, nor should they. He simply looked over to the Articuno ready to say something. "Artemis, thoughts."

The legendary bird flew back to the Brandon ready to answer and resolve this issue. "Sir, while a tactic such as this would up our power by 25%, there is a 78% chance another Kingdom close to the territory will try to attack us and push us back. Along with that, there is a 87% increase that the sky kingdom will know of our plan to up to their defenses. This will create a 100% chance of failure making the journey 'a complete waste' as you would say." Her voice was monotone showing what little life was inside her.

"I care little for your fancy numbers. Tell us exactly what course of action we should take," yelled the king. While those numbers could be useful, to the king, only the ends and results truly mattered.

"It is best to send scouts ahead and search for conflicts and warfare going on at the current time. We should help defend a territory from oncoming foreigners giving these new territories an impression we're not here to conquer. An alignment may also be necessary in order for us to reach our maximum potential. There is a chance that the waves from Kyogre affected lands over in these territories which may make a kingdom desperate for aid." The Articuno then flew up for a moment to make sure none of the aerial units went stay before flying back to the king. "Sir, I will lead a few scouts on ahead should you command it."

In truth, the king was busy looking at a giant metal box. He knew of the contents insides, but he wondered how the heck they were skilled enough to move that heavy box this long of a distance. He only heard a bit of Artemis's words, but it was enough to respond. "I care little for alignments, but if it is necessary I will comply. I'll put the commander in charge of this situation since it was his idea. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a strong desire to freeze something right now." The King noticed a bigger wave coming toward the group and used a weak Icy Wind to freeze it in place. In truth, he wanted to freeze the whole ocean but he did not have time for that right now.

Meanwhile, Artemis looked into the Cloyster waiting for him to give orders. The king cared little for the situation so it was up to the Cloyster to order the group. Artemis know what she wanted to do, secretly wishing the king had put her in charge, but she would comply to whatever Brandon would suggest.

[Yash]

The Sky Kingdom

The Xatu restricted the rampaging Lucario in it's place. No matter how much it tried it couldn't move. It managed to form an Aura Sphere but couldn't aim it and fired it into the barrier. The Xatu all aimed their hypnotic waves at the Lucario, who slowly fell asleep, going back to it's normal state. It was then brought out of the protective field and handed over to some of the Draken Guards. They took it away from the training grounds, in the direction of the dungeons. A bunch of Charizard and Xatu also followed the guards.

On the other side, the giant Salamence's attack hit the Gengar, who was unable to dodge it, nor use his tricks to escape. Suddenly the Gengar changed colour, going back to it's natural colour of purple. A scream could be heard, loud and painful."Aaaaaaagghhhh..." Then the Gengar flickered, almost as if it were about to vanish, when it finally regained it's original form and colour again. It seemed as if it was fighting with itself. It started loosing control even more, opening holes in space all over and sending attacks, more often than not hitting itself.

[brandon-Cloyster]

Brandon cringed at the analysis by Artemis and what followed after that. When the king gave the command to him, he considered what to do. It was obvious that Artemis wanted to go forward with her plan. "Thank you, Sir. I will do the best I can." He turned to the Articuno, "Lady Artemis, your suggestion of scouting the lands ahead makes sense. Go ahead with your troops and any auxiliary forces you may need. Those who you leave behind, I will set into a training regimen. In both routes, the troops will get the training needed."

At the Border

The sneasels gave their report to the Garchomp. "Sir, we have spoken with a few of the locals. Mostly a bunch of fighting types. They do not want to side with the Kingdom. They fear retaliation from the Sky Kingdom. They want to be left out of the conflicts between the Kingdoms. They will help us rebuild our city and docks. Also they have said if we can create an agreement with the other kingdoms, they will be willing to help the citizens of all the kingdoms in expanding the cities."

[Darvan Korematsu]

Alucard (Gengar)

When Alucard had pressed upon what he thought was his Mega Stone, he realized something had gone dreadfully wrong. He never experienced a pain like thousands of needles harshly stabbing him when he Mega Evolved, nor had he felt uncontrollable with his actions, and he certainly never felt like a giant hand was dragging his conscious into an abyss... All he remembered was the Lucario jumping on the grounds in front of him and Syni, and pulling out his Mega Stone.

He remembered the Lucario's eyes: pitch-black and hungry. Hungry for what, he couldn't figure out. When he Mega-Evolved, he saw himself doing unspeakable things, like attacking everyone in the courtroom. Never once before had he done anything out of malice, and now his chances of walking away free seemed scratched out. But the judges would never believe him and his case.

He momentarily regained control of his body. He still felt the stabbing pain everywhere, bit his skin was turning from it's usual purple more to a paler shade of dark lavender. His cheeks were flushed, he saw the Lucario, in it's own inert state, clearly unconscious. He stuttered as the judges closed in on him. "P-PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ME! I'M A MONSTER!"

[Aurorix]

Zabuza - Frokie

"Underdark empire? So you are from one of two kingdoms rumored to be here? Do you know of any other kingdoms near here at all?" The Frokie asked hopefully trying to get the other kingdom's name or their location at the very least.

[Sutoratosu]

Stratos and Azauqyar- Salamence and Rayquaza

"White Crescent!" The salamence shouted to the Xatu's and Noctowls, still maintaining his Mega Form just encase things degraded even further here. The magi wasted no time, and much like they had with the Lucario they turned their combined mental force onto Alucard, trying to restrain the Gengar's body and quell him with a deep slumber...

Meanwhile Azauqyar stopped a single Xatu as he made his way to follow the guards escorting the subdued girl. "Make sure you remove the mega stone before you lock her away in custody..." he said. "The last thing we need is for her to Mega Evolve yet again and potentially escape..." And with that, he left the Mage to go carry out the orders as he turned his attention back to the ongoing struggle to try to calm the Phantom...

Thanatos- Dusknoir

"That was all I needed to see..." Thanatos said, hovering beyond the sight of mortals high above the court room that had become a battle ground. He had seen the look in both the rampaging individual's eyes, the emptiness... the evil. He had seen their violence and their undying wrath, even now as the gengar was still out of control down below. He was almost certain now... both from his own observations and the intel he was getting from the forces that be on the other side. This was almost certainly tied to the moment when the two of them had mega evolved, it simply had to be... why else was it only then and there they had begun going beserk?

"Yes... whatever foul hand is at play here, it may well be anchored in two certain objects... I may well have to speak with the Sky Lord on this matter... once he has managed to get control over the court proceedings again..."

[Omega_Ra1der]

At the Border

The sneasels gave their report to the Garchomp. "Sir, we have spoken with a few of the locals. Mostly a bunch of fighting types. They do not want to side with the Kingdom. They fear retaliation from the Sky Kingdom. They want to be left out of the conflicts between the Kingdoms. They will help us rebuild our city and docks. Also they have said if we can create an agreement with the other kingdoms, they will be willing to help the citizens of all the kingdoms in expanding the cities."

Dragan - Garchomp

The champion responded " Well, a treaty or an alliance are our options for now. We need them to help rebound from the attack.On our side, we found a magic kingdom scout that helped us survive the waste. And I repaid her by asking for forgiveness from their rulers. I go report to the king, you return to your duties." The sneasels left the borders and went back to their duties. Dragan turned to the gabites " As for you seven, you will stick with me or scout ahead. I will take the skies." After that, he soared up to the sky, and the gabites chose to scout ahead for the king.

[Yash]

The Sky Kingdom

When the Xatu tried to restrict the Gengar, they realised that Psychic would not hold it in place. It had no actual body. However they were able to place it in their trance. While they could not quell it completely, they manage to stop the attacks. In this state, the Gengar slowly regained the purple colour. It started shrinking slowly, going back to it's actual size. It seemed as if the crazed part of the Mega Evolution had subsided. Alucard seemed to have regained his senses, and was muttering something. A few words could be heard by those present, "Monster", "Help" and "Kill" among them. All of a sudden, there was a energy pulse around him, and then the corruption started again. This time however it was a very slow transformation as the Xatu struggled to control him. He seemed stuck in limbo between the transformation, not moving, speaking or doing anything for that matter. All the wormholes had vanished as well.

((Time to finish this part of the Sky Kingdom Arc...))

[Darvan Korematsu]

Ulkina (Latias)

Ulkina could not believe this. She had once seen Alucard Mega Evolve once, right after they first met, just so he could show her how truly scary he could have been to her. She feared for her life when he first Mega Evolved to show her, but now she didn't know the being in front of her. She couldn't comprehend what had just happened. She had been stowed away from Alucard to prevent him from swaying her in case the judges required her on the stand to testify against him.

She hid from the ruckus when it first began, right after Alucard had transformed. That beast awakened from the Stone was certainly not the brother that cared for her in her younger years. No, an animosity had to be corrupting him, and she was absolutely certain. He didn't have an evil intentions at heart. Did he? Then again, she had only seen him Mega Evolve once.

If it weren't for a few guards keeping her firmly in place, she certainly would have dropped in the fray, trying to convince Alucard that he was insane, and he should stop before he hurt someone. Particularly her. He promised to never hurt her before, but now he had, as the lavender-colored spectre laid slumped over and unconscious.

The Lucario was certainly a shocker, but Alucard was a dead-ringer for her.

She called out to Azauqyar and Stratos. "W-what are you going to do with b-brother?" They merely disregarded her.

She started to cry again. Why now out of all the chances he had for malevolence right now?

Ulkina flew to the top of one of the balconies overlooking the courtroom where she once sat during the trials. She thought to herself. What beings were out there like brother? Could she stop them? Could anyone for that matter?

An almost sickly reek washed over her mind. She could feel someone. Well not someone, but at least something. It was not a malevolent spirit, but it smelled of....death. She called out to a spirit she thought was there. "Spirit, are you there? I promise I won't bite....or attack."

Ulkina shivered as she waited for a potential response.

[Pixl]

Hakumen - Rotom-F (Permafrost Kingdom)

The figure of the refrigerator Commander hovered by the side as Brandon, Artemis, and the King had their discussion. As a mischievous spirit, Hakumen's interest was piqued at the idea proposed by the two. He was not one to sit back and train when there was action going on; if he could get his hands on a task he would. Following the Cloyster's suggestion, Hakumen's voice could be heard. "Pardon me, My Lord, but I would be willing to command my forces ahead for scouting, if you so desire it." His eternally-devious smile was not one to be concerned about, for that was the only facial expression he was ever seen making.

The Frost Rotom gestured toward his forces marching on the bridge, which consisted mainly of Vanilluxe and Cryogonal, with a few Glaceon making up the core of the regiments. They were the technical branch of the military, and a scouting charge was not one out of their field of expertise. As for Hakumen, his nature permitted him to be quite the good stalker. However, he knew his place, and simply awaited a response from his King.

[TyranntX]

Armadon - Aggron

" the only other kingdom is up north. The kingdom of the permafrost." Said the commander as he stood up on his feet. And pointed to the mountains in the north. "Just a few days travel from here, can't miss it" he said. The commander the issued his army to use dig and return to the kingdom. "If you ever find your self within our boarders, just ask for me. And now one will dare to bother ya" said to massive steel type as we dug underground and made his way to his homeland.

[Sutoratosu]

Stratos and Azauqyar and Thanatos- Salamence, Rayquaza, Dusknoir

"Good lord, they'll be here all night trying to quell him at this rate..." "Find and remove his mega stone!" A massively resonating, sagely voice suddenly called out from high above everyone's heads. Thanatos didn't bother to wait for any answer they might have to give, holding both his invisible palms and focusing in on Alucard, eyes beginning to glow with a strange blue as he attempted to reach out with his own raw will power and restrain the Gengar's movements...

"Hurry! I'll do what I can to restrain him! The demon in him is a strong one though..."

Stratos and Azauqyar looked back and forth between each other and the skies above, shrugging as the Sky Lord gave the go ahead to his champion. Without a word, Stratos strode forward in the air, body becoming engulfed in a pink light and reverting to it's normal form so that he could have use of his front limbs. He crept closer to Alucard, preparing to begin the search for the stone...

"Keep your own mega stone away from it...Stratos!" Called the same booming voice from overhead. The champion had no idea how it knew his name, but he heeded it's words, plucking out the tiny jewel and tossing it to Azauqyar to hold. Once again he crept forward, clad in his emerald armor with his claws at the ready, hoping the voice hadn't been lying about trying to restrain the criminal...all the while as the White Crescent Mages continued their own struggle to keep the phantom under control...

Sebastian, Brantyn- Gothitelle, Rhyperior

"Good lord..." Elder managed as the dust finally started to clear in the air. He nor anyone else in the crowd could spot the Prophet or the beast through the thick tendrils of sandy, golden brown. The town entrance was in complete shambles though, that much was clear just from looking at the place... the weathered, sand beaten gate was mangled and twisted, even snapped in places. The ground was pockmarked in miniature craters, as if some sudden meteorite shower had seen fit to visit the area and make it's glorious fall from the heavens in none other than their remote village. Blood stained the earth in a few places, tiny droplets and spatters here and there, mixing in the dust of the desert. There was silence all around.

A blaze of bluish green emerged from the cloud, the air itself seeming to swirl as if suddenly grabbed and stirred by invisible fingers, congealing into a massive cloud over the plaza as it lifted higher into the heaven's and dispersed...

And standing there... was the Prophet Sebastian, unharmed and unmaimed... and the Beast Brantyn. Sweating, bloody, and bruised. Cracks ran across his arm cannons, tiny streams of scarlet emerging from the pressure wounds and falling in slow drips. The fool's cloak was tattered and torn to the point where one would have sooner recognized it as a rag than an article of clothing. He glared at Sebastian, eyes full of fire as he nonetheless backed away, his legs feeling like rubber...

"I gave you fair warning that you would fall if you engaged me." The Psychic called in his mind, another taunt, just like all the other ones he'd been throwing his way the whole time... Brantyn would shut him up if it weren't for the fact that he was using his own brute force against him every chance he got. First driving him head first into the gate when he had charged, then sending his own rocky bullets back at him...

but the nastiest trick was by far the psychic meteor shower. Thousands upon thousnads of tiny pockets of telekinetic force, rained down upon him... Brantyn had no idea how the old man had gotten so powerful. But it must've had something to do with Azauqyar's scale around his neck.

"You see, you wretch?" The Titan asked, luaghing to himself. "You see? This is why I want the find Groudon, the type of Power I could harvest from him, just from a bodily artifact of his alone! You hold the very same type of power around your neck as I desire, yet you don't even see it!"

"This power belongs to no other being but myself, Titan." Sebastian again raised his staff, eyes flaring that brilliant emerald green as his Lord's scale blazed into life on his chest despite his words... Brantyn simply kept backing up, finally throwing his hands to the heavens, blood sprinkling everywhere from the wounds.

"Bah! Fine, enough! It's obvious I'll be killed If I try to go any further here, but mark my words..." He looked right at the elder Flygon. "I will be back, baba... and your little priest friend won't be here to save you next time!" And the Titan turned, leapt into the air, and began to corkscrew his entire body. The ground rumbled as he collided with the dirt, easily burrowing into the earth's crust and disappearing in the darkness, right before the hole's entrance suddenly collapsed behind him...

[Darvan Korematsu]

Ulkina (Latias)

Watching patiently and frantically, Ulkina saw Stratos revert to his base form and tentatively prepping his claws to dig into Alucard. She gasped as the dragon wasted no time penetrating the spectre's form even as it writhed uncontrollably under the control of the mages.

With a proper amount of force, it looked like the Salamence had indeed found the prize it intended to seek. It pulled out a Mega Stone from Alucard's spasming body, dripping with the ghost's misty shadow juices. It looked like a dark black with the familiar purple stripe running through the middle.

Ulkina felt the presence of the spirit she felt earlier. "Spirit? What's going on?" She called asking.

[Ragnar]

Rain - Suicune (near the gates of the Magic kingdom)

Rain makes haste as the water wolf gracefully leaps over obstacles and gallops across the Toxia badlands, along side with his disciple, Zaire on his back as the two nimbly make their way to the borders of the magic kingdom.

"There it is, just a few more steps.. " Rain arrived at the gates as he halted and pointed out the city to the Cacti. "Are you alright back there? once we enter this gates, there's no turning back for us.. are you ready?" Rain asked his passenger before heading inside.

The Magic kingdom's climate suddenly changes as strong dry cold winds blew relentlessly across the city. making Rain's presence felt that he is within range of the kingdom.

[K_H]

Eve (Eevee)

As Eve was patrolling the Courthouse Entrance, she felt the weather suddenly turn frigid. At least, she did just before getting frozen solid in a coating of ice. When she tried to move, the ice groaned, but still held firm. She tried again, and still no luck. It was only on the third attempt that she managed to break her icy shell enough to move. The resulting shattering sound could easily be heard inside the Courtroom. On the plus side, though, she did have a cool new suit of armor...

((Sorry, i just couldn't resist making the Pun. It's the only reason i added that last sentence.))

[Komodojoe]

Atlas (Golurk)

As King Krusher set out to find Groudon, Atlas stayed behind to once again strengthen their defenses and recover from the aftermath of the disaster that had occurred due to Kyogre's awakening. While it did find enough hand-picked troops it's new force, which it has decided to call 'The Precipice Brigade' (Which was named after Groudon's Signature move 'Precipice Blades'), it felt as though something was missing from it. Something important. And not just because off all of the hindrances and setbacks, most of which still exist due to recent events. Atlas knew that something felt like it was missing from the start. While the Golurk had been contemplating this, he had found one Ursa Maior gathering a small amount of troops. It looked like that the Ursaring was going somewhere. Atlas approached his fellow commander. "Mind if I ask what it is that you're doing here, Ursa? It looks as though you're about to set out on a mission of some sort."

Sir Darius (Gallade)

Having heard the sound of something shattering coming from outside the courtroom, Sir Darius, along with several other pokemon, looked back to the door out of reaction. A few of the soldiers had even gotten up to see what was going on out there and looked to see their Captain getting up as well. Sir Darius signaled them to wait here in case something happens while he's gone. Afterwards, he quietly left the courtroom, not wanting to disturb the case any further. When he was outside, he realized that something was off: it was surprisingly cold outside, not that it really bothered him at all. The Gallade looked around to see an Eevee struggling to move as it was freezing. It was Eve. Sir Darius ran over to her to see what was wrong. "Eve, are you alright? What's going on here?"

Velvet (Lopunny)

Velvet waved to the pokemon as they went underground. "Goodbye! Thanks for the directions. And we'll be sure to find you if we do need any help." After they disappeared into the ground, she turned to the others. "Well, now that that's settled, what should we do next? Should we head back to camp? Or does someone have anything else in mind?"

Shidew(Sableye)

Shidew moves to the stand as requested by Uxie.

Valerie(Togetic)

Meanwhile, Valerie is in Toxxia Badlands making peace with the Pokemon and trying to peacefully get the land. (Need host to say the outcome)

Edited May 18, 2015 by Cytan

[Aurorix]

Judge - Uxi

"Now, Shidew, I need you to testify about what you ordered the gaurds to do and how you reacted to the Gyarados over there." She spoke towards the ghostly king at the stand.

[Cytan]

Shidew

He clears his throat.

"I ordered the guards to arrest the Gyarados because she threw the gem at me, not because she was talking to the citizens. I actually think it's good that the citizens hear many ideas, and I will listen to them. I never ordered a guard to attack a citizen, and I highly disagree with that action. Now, I know everyone does not want this Gyarados to be put in prison, but she did break a law. Again, I do not care that she is using her freedom of speech. It was requested that I have a peace treaty, and I replied that I did want to talk to the kings, not a representative. I'm open for negotiation, as I have been... As for the guard, I -will- get to the bottom of this... Anyone who knows anything should speak up."

[Aurorix]

Titania - Gardevior

"I think we're suppose to try to get the pokemon here to join the magic kingdom. So I say we do that in the morning unless someone else wants to do something different." She spoke towards the group who was there in the field

Judge - Uxi

"So you say that you didn't order your guards to attack, and the only reason why you jailed her was for throwing the gem back at you. While I don't see why you would jail someone just for that. Anyways I think I know whats going on here. The King didn't order the attack but a guard attacked. The crowd didn't riot until said guard attacked thus it's that guard is guilty. Too bad the guilty party is not here anymore." The uxi sighed as she knew the culprit is probably gone by now.

[TyranntX]

Xeen- kabutops

"I think we should seek out the kingdom of the under dark. From the looks of things it seems much closer" he exhaled. An started to examine one of the dead poke'mon " besides, we have no idea what's out there, so lest we want to run into those dragons again we best play it safe for now" he said as he exhaled bubbles

[Ojama Yellow]

Zaïre (Maractus)

"Ready. Set. Let's go," Zaïre told the blue-and-white wolf-like Pokémon. He hadn't imagined they would be here this fast. Would they even need the help of that commander of the Kingdom of Land, the Ursaring? Zaïre doubted it.

Riding on the back of Rain gave him a good feeling. Never before had he moved over land this quickly. However, realizing he was actually riding on the back of his master, gave Zaïre a weird feeling. Almost as if he shouldn't be enjoying the ride. He shook off the worries. That kind of emotions were not welcome in the cactus' head.

Ursa Maior (Ursaring)

He groaned when Atlas, his fellow commander, noticed that he was about to leave. "We," he said as he gestured over the troup of Metang, "are about to depart for the Kingdom of Magic. A peacekeeper is held on trial there. Even more, that peacekeeper, a Gyarados, is an underling of the Suicune that saved us. I am going to provide support in the liberation of that Gyarados, together with these Metang. Then I will have repaid my debt with him." He took a long breath. "Now if you would be as friendly to not immediately go to our lord with this info, I thank you."

[Komodojoe]

Atlas (Golurk)

Atlas was a little angry that Ursa didn't bring this to the King at all, but it also knew how beneficial this could be to the Kingdom of Land if he succeeded. Therefore, Atlas decided to let Ursa go through with this. "Very well then. I will not tell. But before I leave, however, I must advise you to watch out for their Captain. And not just because of the type disadvantage. He is a very stubborn one, even more so than I thought if he truly is who I think he is."

Velvet (Lopunny)

"Okay then. We'll find out where the Kingdom of Underdark is and go talk to them." Velvet yawned. "But Titania's right. We should probably get some sleep before we do anything. We wouldn't want to be tuckered out in case we have to fight, do we?"

[Yash]

Toxia Badlands

After Valerie had helped the scouting party from the Land Kingdom, and the dragons had left, she started on her way back. Till that point the residents had been hiding, scared of the Ground type dragon. As Valerie went on her way, she noticed the poison types come out of hiding. On having a conversation with a few, she managed to relay her message to them. The leaders of the clans had seen the kindness of the Togetic, and thus were warm and friendly with her. "We see that you have helped somebody who was a stranger. From what our people heard, it seems they had done your people some harm, yet you helped them. You truly seem kind hearted, Valerie. Any volunteers from our clans are free to go with you. Also, if you can ask the King or Queen to pay us a visit and form an alliance with us, we will be willing to join you."

((The Magic Kingdom can now form an alliance with the poison types in the Toxia Badlands. Also Valerie will head back to the Magic Kingdom with 28 pokemon which include some grimer, muk, koffing, seviper and some nido's.))

Sky Kingdom

With his mega stone ripped away, Alucard finally started going back to his normal form. He seemed to regain his senses and had stopped fighting against the White Crescent mages. They managed to finally overcome him and put him to sleep. However, the trouble didn't end there as the mega stone started shooting out shadows from itself, attacking Stratos. It seemed to have a mind of it's own. It was obvious that there was something wrong with it. Almost as if it was possessed by an evil spirit. The White Crescent mages now turned their attention to the object. While they tried battling it, they realised that it would not be easily affected by their attacks. They needed to trap the the evil within. After moving Alucard outside the barrier and letting the Captain and the giant Salamence out,they used their psychic power, to set the Odd Keystone in the middle of the ground and activate it. The keystone started glowing and absorbing the spirit from the stone. At first it was a slow process. It seemed to take one little wisp of a shadow here and there. Then the Keystone and Mega Stone both started levitating and almost as if a vessel was being overturned, a shadowy, almost liquid like substance seemed to flow from the mega stone and into the Keystone. The liquid gathered more and more speed, almost as if it were the current in a river and then all of a sudden it stopped. The glow from the Keystone changed to a dark black aura and then suddenly vanished, almost as if it were an ordinary rock. Both items fell to the ground. It seemed that finally the problem had been handled.
