I'm back once again. Here it is, the final part in the Sinnoh Saga. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Same rules from Legends of Sinnoh apply as before. Don't worry, I won't forget the main cast this time. =P
Enjoy.
The Battle Frontier is a location where trainers participate in battles almost non-stop. After the previous tournament in Hoenn, popularity has increased in Sinnoh and will eventually be expanded to the rest of the world. Like it's grand opening in Hoenn, it's Sinnoh region opening will have a similar theme: inviting the best trainers to participate in the battle.
Rain is amongst those few to participate in this grand competition. He disembarks from the boat that brought him to the Fight Area as he's amazed at how much it changed. He suddenly feels it being warmer and removes his jacket to wrap it around his waist. He heads over to the entrance surrounded by mini waterfalls that added beauty to the surrounding pink hooded entrance.
“Here it is,” Rain said. “The Battle Frontier!”
He goes inside where numerous women in blue uniforms were checking in the number of competitors. He waits on line as he hopes to get in as soon as possible. He's aware of the facilities in Hoenn, but what about the facilities here? What are they like? He soon feels someone bumping into him and immediately apologizes. The girl also apologizes, but she was soon shocked at finding out who he was. Safe to say, Rain is surprised as well.
“I know you!” Rain said.
It was none other than Artemis, the young, blue-haired girl with the white shirt, tan coat and blue pants who used to hang around with Zeus.
“Call me Gabriela,” Artemis said. “That's my---”
She soon realizes that Olympus members were outright harmless at this point, so telling him that was pointless.
“Well in any case, what are you doing here?” Rain asked.
“I'm participating!” Artemis replied. “I was picked to come here! I assume it's the same for you?”
“Yes it is. I haven't seen you battle, though.”
“Oh, I'm really good. I managed to take out Cynthia's Garchomp easily.”
Rain was stunned to find out that she beat Cynthia. If he merely tied with her, how was he able to beat her?!
“Is there someth....oh, I get it. You're just surprised that I beat the Champion's strongest Pokémon. Well, I suppose that it would be a shock to anyone.”
People surrounding them were surprised as well. They soon reach the counter as the brown-haired woman wearing a pink uniform prepares to take their information.
“Name, please?” the woman asked.
“Rain Eidoh,” Rain said.
“Gabriela Richards,” Artemis said.
“We're together.”
“Okay...Rain and Gabriela...All right, can I have your Pokeballs, please?”
They both hand her their set as she records their data. Rain's team pops up, as well as Artemis' team. Rain was surprised at the Pokémon set she had. Glaceon, Lumineon, Blissey; she has some motley crew.
“I collect a lot of cute and beautiful Pokémon,” Artemis said.
They were both given several small items, a key card to their room in the Battle Tower, which doubles as a hotel for guests, a rule book on the various facilities, and a Vs. Recorder to record their information throughout the tournament.
“The key card will be your access to your rooms in the Battle Tower,” she said. “Also the rule book will provide tournament rules as well as facility rules. The Vs. Recorder will keep track of your data from our computers. It also has your data on the Prints you receive, so don't lose it. Other than that, welcome to the Sinnoh Battle Frontier!”
“Thank you,” they both said.
They both progress through as they see the numerous facilities surrounding them, as well as numerous stairs and walkways for them to travel upon. The Battle Tower faces them square in front of them as the main symbol of the Battle Frontier.
“So our room is supposed to be in the Battle Tower, right?” Rain asked.
“That's what she told us,” Artemis replied.
They both head off to the Battle Tower, which is just in front of them. They just simply had to climb the large staircase above them, which would prove to be an exhausting push.
----------------------------------------
Up the top of the staircase, a teen, wearing a white and black T-Shirt with black, white-striped jeans and a white do-rag was sitting on his own boom box, which was big enough for him to sit on in the first place. The boom box was blasting some rap music while his Pokémon, a cream colored cat-like Pokémon with large, purple ears, a purple ruff-like collar around its neck and a flower-like object at the end of its tail, resembling a purple tulip, is sleeping soundly, despite the blasting boom box that was next to her.
“No, I told him that Kariko knew Giga Impact, not Hyper Beam. Yeah, man, I know those two have the same effect, but they're completely separate attacks.”
Rain and Artemis soon come up to see what the noise was and finds him and his Delcatty nearby. As he was jabbering on his phone, he notices Rain and Artemis and wonders why there were here.
“Could you hold on one second, dude?” he said. “Can I help you?”
“I...wasn't staring, I was just...”
The boy was soon shocked when he realized who he actually was.
“Dude, you are not going to believe who I'm talking to!” he said, talking to whoever was on his phone. “Rain Eidoh! Yes, that same one!”
Rain's pleased to see that he's famous, but to have a guy like him amazed at his presence was a bit uneasy. Not that he's that bothered by fame.
“I'll call you back. Okay, bye.”
He hangs up and clicks a button on his boom box to stop the music from playing. He stands up, which causes Delcatty to wake up and look at him.
“I've been waiting for this moment my whole life,” he said. “If you're here then you're part of the Battle Frontier, right?”
“Yeah,” Rain said. “You are...”
“I'm J.D. I'm a bit of a celebrity myself!”
“In what?”
“Battling! Three time Tag Battle champion!”
Rain thought that was pretty impressive. The only tournament he's been in was the Sinnoh League, and this. He's had more experience than him, but he has the heroic fame on his side, it would seem.
“I hope you're ready, kid!” J.D. Said. “Kariko, are you ready?”
Delcatty gets up and stretches her legs out. J.D. shuts his boom-box off o he can battle and concentrate. She assumes the ready position and prepares to battle against Rain. He opens his Pokédex to check it out.
“DELCATTY: THE PRIM POKÉMON; THE EVOLVED FORM OF SKITTY EXPOSED TO A MOON STONE. IT IS HIGHLY POPULAR AMONG FEMALE TRAINERS FOR ITS SUBLIME FUR. IT DOES NOT KEEP A NEST.”
“Why does a teen like you have a girlish Pokémon like Delcatty?”
“There's a reason. A good reason. Besides, I need a Pokémon that can throw off a battler so we can strike the finishing blow!”
Delcatty meows in response. Rain takes out one of his Pokeballs and prepares to battle.
“Go, Gallade!” Rain said.
Gallade comes out and prepares to battle. Being a Fighting Type, he'll have a big advantage over the Normal Type Delcatty.
“Ready, because I'm not going to let you win!” J.D. said. “Kariko, use Giga Impact!”
“Giga Impact?” Rain thought. “Gallade, use Close Combat!”
Both Pokémon go after each other with their respective attacks, while Delcatty is absorbing herself in a red and orange aura. They both charge after each other, however they are soon stopped by a massive windstorm that's as hot as a volcano, stopping both of them easily. They both obtain powerful burns as they look around to see who caused that attack.
“Honestly, you're acting like children!” someone said.
They turn to see a man who appears to be in his 20s with short, blond hair and eyeglasses wearing a white regal suit to match his rich boy look. He also seems to have a rapier attached to his side.
“Who are you?” J.D. asked.
“I'm Kent Lewis,” he replied. “You know that battling is not allowed outside of the facilities.”
“Says who?”
“The rule book, of course. Now I must head off. I'd watch your backs from now on...both of you!”
He walks off while J.D. grows annoyed with him. He acts like he owns the place, which he didn't.
“Who does that guy think he is, anyway?” J.D. asked.
Suddenly an announcement is made over the loudspeakers. It ordered all the participants to make their way to the main area in the Battle Tower for information on the tournament itself, hosted by a man named Shinsei Muto, a name that shocks Rain completely.
“Sh....Sh....Shinsei Muto?!?!?”
“Who's he?”
Rain really didn't want to hear that name ever again. He wonders if this was really why he was invited to the Battle Frontier. He explains the situation to J.D. and is surprised to hear such things about him. He tells the story about Jessica, his friend, and J.D. was even more annoyed with him.
“Well, I guess this guy must be an absolute jerk if he had to do something like that!”
“Yeah, I wonder what sick plans he has for me?”
J.D. didn't want to be involved with him, despite hearing that story. He picks up his boom box and calls his Delcatty over.
“I'm heading inside. Want to come?”
Rain nods as they both go inside to hear what this tournament was all about. The Battle Tower was well designed, showing numerous statues of palm tree-like designs and glass windows that cover most of the area. It's greatly improved from the last time they were here. The Battle Frontier logo, a five circle symbol with a house-like design in the middle. It 's all gray save for the top circle, which was red.
“This is completely different than what I remember!” Rain said.
Nearly everyone is there waiting for Mr. Muto to appear on the stage that was present, to which he'll explain the Battle Frontier rules and kick things off. Rain was still surprised that Mr. Muto was running the whole thing. He just wants to wish that it's all a dream and just get it over it. He looks around to see J.D. and Kent surrounded by other trainers who were here for the same reason.
“When is this thing going to start?” Rain asked.
“Has to be soon,” Artemis replied.
They soon see him approach from the back and onto the stage, resulting in a mix of cheers and boos from various people within the audience. He approaches the microphone as he prepares to lay down the rules of the Battle Frontier.
“Ladies and Gentlemen!” Mr. Muto said. “Welcome...to the Battle Frontier!!!”
Everyone cheers in response, even those who previously booed him were cheering. Everyone is so anxious to get this tournament started.
“Before we begin, allow me to lay down the rules of this tournament! Like Gym battles, you will all seek to obtain a certain amount of Prints,”
He holds a small miniature plate with an image of the battle frontier engraved in a color print.
“These are what you'll obtain from the Frontier Brains here. You must fight by their rules, and so must they. Each facility has their own special rules, which they will explain when you enter. You will have five days to complete this challenge, more than enough time to complete two challenges a day. The best trainers will get through them easily.”
Rain is nervous about this five day rule. Can he beat all five Brains in that time frame?
“Once you have all five, you must enter the Battle Tower and confirm to the receptionist that you have all five plates. You must have one from each facility, duplicates do not count at all. We will then have a tournament to see who is indeed the greatest trainer ever!”
Everyone continues to cheer. Rain's hoping to battle him eventually, just to get revenge on him for harming Jessica.
“I hope for the best from all of you! Do not disappoint me!”
“Oh I won't disappoint you at all, Shinsei Muto!” Rain thought.
The meeting is soon concluded with some last remarks. Once that's out of the way, they all go outside to see some of the facilities before going off to bed. It's a good idea to see what this Battle Frontier had planned for him as well as what their rules were for each of the facilities.
-----------------------------------------
Two individuals, both wearing gray trench coats, gray fedora hats and sunglasses enter the Battle Frontier at the request of Mr. Muto to find two specific trainers to battle. They were sent to provide early excitement for the Battle Frontier.
“Remind me why we're here again?” one of them asked.
“We need to find some trainers to give them an opening show for the Battle Frontier. Mr. Muto said that, but I think it's to get people riled up.”
“Why invite us?”
“We're just really good trainers.”
“We're on far different ends of the spectrum Fli-”
The other man shuts his mouth immediately. They were supposed to be disguised until they found a pair of trainers to battle.
“We can't say our identities yet!" he replied. "We need to find a good pair of---”
He soon stops upon seeing Rain and Artemis walk towards the Battle Castle, the large green roofed castle that's to the southwest of the entrance. One of the mysterious men smiles as he go over to the two of them. He the other guy sighs as he follows him.
“Excuse me,” one of the guys said approaching him. “Would you care for a Battle?”
Rain wonders how to respond, since they weren't supposed to battle outside of the facilities.
“We're not supposed to battle outside of the facilities,” Rain said.
“I was hoping to battle with my disguise on, but...” the other mysterious man thought. “If I can explain. We go by Flare and Jolt, we were invited by Shinsei Muto to battle two special trainers, and it just so happens that you two are the lucky stars!”
Rain wonders where he heard that voice from before. It was definitely familiar. If they were truly invited by Mr. Muto, then it should be a problem for them to battle.
“Fine, we accept!” Rain said.
“Rain, are you sure?” Artemis asked.
“Well, before we begin, allow us to take these annoying disguises off.”
He looks at the other mysterious man as they both take their disguises off. Rain was surprised to see who they really were. The two men were none other than Flint and Volkner, the dynamic duo that Rain previously met in Sunyshore City. Why they were invited by Mr. Muto was a mystery to them.
“Now then,” Flint said.
“PREPARE TO BATTLE!!!!” they both said in unison.
To Be Continued!
Enjoy.
