Landis was at a place to check Trainer's Pokemon so he could think of a strategy. "So Drew he has Poliwrath, Gengar, Ampharos, Dragonite, Maganieum, and Ninetails. Zack, he has Typhlosion, Tyranitar, Ampharos, Kingdra, Umbreon, and Steelix. I know I need to check the rest of the Trainers that are still in this Tournament so that's what I need to do right now so I could come up with a good strategy with any of the Trainers I end up going against," Landis said to himself searching up each of the Pokemon the Trainers have.

After finishing his battle, one of the last ones in the first round, Gyro was ready for bed. He'd been training, yelling, and battling all day and was about ready to collapse. He'd made it back to his hotel and gotten to his room. He walked in, stretched, and threw all his stuff carelessly on the floor. He then hoped onto his extremely comfortable bed, turned on some TV, and fell asleep watching some of the highlights from the first round.
"Your not strong enough, skilled enough," A voice said.
"You let them down," said another.
"You frighten them," yet another one said. The voices wouldn't stop talking, and memories wouldn't stop flashing before Zack's eyes. Then everything suddenly went black. Zack nearly jumped out of bed after waking from his dream. He was breathing heavily and sweating. He calmed down, getting out of bed. He walked into his bathroom, and splashed water on his face several times.
"I'm still not in control of my emotions, of anything. This needs to stop happening," Zack said, stepping outside his room. He thought a walk in the chilly night air might help him think. He made it down to the ground floor, walked outside, and took a breath of fresh air. He began walking down the street towards the main road, where it was mostly empty.
"I've been taking to many walks lately," Zack told himself, smirking at his own comment. I know those voices are just in my head, but they feel so real. When with they stop? Zack wondered, anxious for his night terrors to end. He, just one time, wanted to have a normal tournament. A normal adventure in general. On his way down the main road, he let out a one big yell of aggravation. Granted he probably just woke up a lot of people, he felt better letting that out. He then continued down the middle of the street. trying to clear his mind.

Layla had a lot of trouble sleeping that night. She kept waking up until she finally lost the will to try again. She got out of bed pretty early in the morning with yesterdays events still in the back of her mind. She treated herself to a longer shower sense she woke up so early. She didn't want to think about anything that happened but her mind kept wondering back to the deaths. She knew there had to be something deeper going on, but she wasn't there to get involved with that. She just wants to participate in a tournament and she is going to do her best to focus on that. She finally got out of the shower and dried off and did her hair and make-up. She put on some jeans and blue top and grabbed her stuff and put the subs back in her bag and went out the door. She didn't stop for breakfast and moved quickly to the trainer waiting room keeping her head on a swivel, slightly paranoid. Finally she arrived at the waiting room and she wasn't surprised to find she was the only one there. She sat down on one of the couches and let out a conflicted sigh. Now she really wished she could have slept longer, every other thought was about yesterday. She finally shifted her thought process by thinking about how everyone else might be doing. She was sure they weren't nearly as shaken up as her, she always seems to be the weakest of the group. Layla frowned at the thought. She decided she wasn't going to talk about the homeless man, they probably haven't heard anything so there's no need to make any one worry. Layla laid her head back trying to relax hoping she might get a nap in before anything else.
Riley swore he was going to nurder Nion when he got up. He had so many dreams where Nion showed up out of nowhere and ruined his once peaceful dreams. Everytime Riley would get close to killing the Nion in his dream, it would laugh before the dream ended and the cycle would repeat. "Great! Now I'm haunted by Nion." Riley complained as he got off of his bed.
After completing his morning routine and getting dressed, Riley headed to the lobby to get some breakfast. He was especially hungry this morning due to not having a decent dinner the last night. Unfortunately, when he went to the counter, they were closed. "What the hell?! This is a place is a five star hotel but they can't serve breakfast everyday?! Wait until they get my review." Riley cursed as he stormed out of the hotel. Now he was grumpy and hungry. 'What a great start for the morning.' Riley thought to himself before walking to the stadium.
Once Riley got to the stadium, he headed straight to the waiting room. Hopefully they would have the matches up so he could atleast strategize instead of doing nothing for the next hour. When he got in, he noticed that it was empty besides someone sleeping on the couch. Riley didn't pay that much attention and went straight to the area where the match would be posted. "Great, it's not here." Riley groaned and turned around. That's when he saw who was sleeping. "Layla, what the fuck?!" Riley asked a bit to loud. "Oh shit!" Riley said quieter than before as he realized that he could've woken her up. He wondered why she was sleeping in the waiting room. Was it because of what happened last night? But even then, he was sure that some officers had escorted her to her room. Whatever the case, Riley decided he would just let her rest and ask Layla when she got up. He sat down on the couch beside Layla's and went on his phone.

He sat down on the couch beside Layla's and went on his phone.
Layla woke up yet again because she thought she heard someone yell. She didn't even care to investigate at the moment she just closed her eyes again and tried to fall asleep again. After a few minutes she woke up again but now she was on the floor next to the couch. She chuckled as she forced herself onto her knees on the floor. She stretched out and yawned and then finally out of the corner of her eye she saw Riley sitting on another couch. She turned her head toward him and smiled embarrassed. She let out a nervous laugh as her cheeks turned a little pink and she awkwardly chose her next words. "How long have you, been there?"
Riley grinned as he watched the scene unfold. He was suprised at how fast Layla was able to regain her composure... or atleast tried to. "I've been here long enough to see that you really don't sleep still, do you?" Riley said, playing with her. "Seriously though, how long have you been here? When I came in here, you were still sleeping." Riley said before remembering what the officer told him about Layla. "Actually, I heard about what happened last night. Are you alright?" Riley asked, still feeling bad for leaving her.
Zack had woken up in a very uncomfortable bench right outside the entrance to the stadium.
"W-What the hell? Did I never make it back to the hotel? Shit," Zack realized, rushing inside to see if he'd missed anything important. Luckily the second round hadn't even started yet, helping him calm down. He walked down the hall to the waiting room and stepped in. Unsurprisingly, some people he knew were there. He didn't want to interrupt there conversation so instead of going over decided to lean on a wall, seeing as all the other seeing as were taken. In the meantime he turned his attention to the television, seeing if he could spot where he was in the line up.

Layla got back on the sofa and fixed herself so she looked less like she just fell on the ground. She wasn't surprised by his response and she pouted when he teased her. She reacted quickly when he turned the question on her. "Oh, I've only been here for a few minutes or so. This isn't a repeat from last tournament's hotel lobby." Layla laughed it off before noticing his expression was still serious. Shit, of course he knows. She tried really hard not to show a change in expression, and kept a ignorant smile on her face clearly avoiding the question. Thankfully someone walked in just as he asked the question. She acted like she just didn't hear the question and stood up when she saw it was Zack. She wasn't sure if he wanted to talk seeing as he was standing away from them, but she needed something to do rather than answer that question. "Hey Zack! Come on over! How did you sleep?"
Nion was at a place called "donut palace". A officer came walking in hoping he could get answers out of Nion. He hoped Nion was the cause of the deaths. So his job could be a lot easier. "Mr.Nion I need to ask you some questions"The police man said. Nion who dident have a hat on and was reavealing his hair that he got dyed yellow,red,blue, And orange. Nion was wearing orange pants and a orange shirt. Nion started sweating. "Yea..."Nion said. "Sir we found two people dead and we have reason to belive you've killed both of them"The police man said. Nion went to the I'm fucked face to the I'm fucking confused face. Nion hadn't done anything to the first victim wich he knew must have been the one at substitute but he never here's of the second death. "Yeah you know about the 1st kill but the second one involved a homeless man and ms.evans."the policeman said. Nions full attention went to the police man. "Ok ok get to the point." Nion said. The policeman handed Nion a little tube.
The next moment Nion was driving in his lambo to the stadium. When he arrived he ran to the waiting room hoping his friends were there. He walked into the room and smiled to see everyone ok. "Good morning guys"Nion said to them. "I was told about the incident when layla was walking back to the hotel last night..."Nion said looking down at the ground. "Anyway on that note. Are you ok Layla?"Nion said looking at layla with a concerned.

"Yeah, so... Wait Zack?!" Again Riley had no idea Zack was there. It always seemed like Layla always knew when Zack would show up. 'It must be some type of special connection.' Riley thought as he listened to the the question. When he heard the question, he had a sudden realization. He had wondering why Layla had avoided his question. "Holy Arceus!" Riley softly said to himself. It all started to make sense now.
After putting the pieces he had together, he thought he figured out was going on. Something must've happened last night and it wasn't just the assault on Layla. The way she avoided the question and went straight to Zack seemed to prove his point. As well she was the first to notice Zack was there at the restaurant. She also got a little mad at himself when he was arguing with Zack. The question Layla just asked sealed the deal. "I've finally figured it out." Riley said to himself as Nion walked in.
Riley was so deep in thought that he completely forgot about the anger he had towards Nion. It all came together. No wonder Layla was so tired. Was it an officer who took Layla to her room or was it Zack? It made perfect sense in Riley's head. They were always so seperate but so close at the same time. It was like some sort of secret relationship.
Without thinking, Riley went up to Nion and decided to ask him. If anyone, Nion probably had the most information since he was literally a fucking stalker. "Yo, did you know that Zack and Layla are in a relationship? I'm pretty sure they slept with each other last night." Riley suddenly realized that probably wasn't the best term considering the person he was talking to. "Not that but you know, just sleeping, nothing else." Riley whispered to Nion while making some hand gestures before realizing how wrong that looked. He hoped Nion didn't get the wrong idea. But then again, it was Nion he was talking to.

''What a good night.'' Karl said getting up. He getted out of his room, going to the Stadium. Lucky enough, the second phase don't hadn't even started yet. ''So I'm going to fight with who?'' He said going to the waiting room and looking at the monitor. Zoe vs Karl. ''Zoe... Who is Zoe?'' Karl asked himself seeing the group of friends from before. He walked to the group, hoping he could think about something to say. ''Erhmm... Heya guys... I know last night wasn't that good but, maybe we can start this again? I'm pretty sure nobody is going to die today.'' Karl said trying to make an awkward smile. All that happened was really awkward, at least for Karl.
"Ummmmmmm"Nion said stuck on the topic of what Riley just said. "Ok um.....I don't know..."Nion said then realizing Riley was right. "Wait your right they did go the same way last night maybe the freak out was there plan to go back to there hotel to sleep with each other or possible other weird shit"Nion whispered to Riley. "What if they've been doing this since kanto"Nion whispered to Riley thinking he had been so blind.
Layla's eyes widened when Nion came in and brought up the same topic. She wanted to just bang her head into a wall at the timing but she didn't meet anyone's eyes and gave a quick and meaningless. "Yep." To answer Nion's question. Layla sat back down and stared at the ground trying to keep her mind off the topic. Layla gave a small wave when Karl walked up, she didn't know much about him but he seemed okay. Layla perked up when Riley went and started whispering something to Nion. She acted like she wasn't paying attention but she was very confused as to what they could be talking about. She thought they hated each other. Out of the corner of her eye she could see their eyes go from her and over.. to Zack. Layla paused for a second before she thought she had an idea what they were talking about. She could have sworn she heard the word 'relationship' so that was enough evidence for her. She didn't really like how they were talking behind their backs, especially with everything that's happened recently.
Layla quietly stewed over what to do about Riley and Nion. She could just ignore them, but that might come back to bite her later. She could confront them right now, but she wasn't one to start confrontations. Then she got an idea, albeit a risky and rather stupid idea but it might catch them off guard which just might be worth it. Layla got up and strolled over to Riley and Nion and acted enticingly innocent. "Hey sorry to interrupt but I forgot thank you for coming over the other night Riley. I.. enjoyed it.. Really, enjoyed it." Layla smirked suggestively and toward Riley. "I guess now I know what a champ is really made of." She kept the out of character flirty facade up hoping catch them off guard and maybe even get Nion to believe her bullshit.

"Ummmmmm"Nion said stumbled again. "I think she's on to us"Nion whispered to Riley. Nions brain was empty and his insides were littering crying if this was all true. "Layla that was a completely weird ass thing you could bring because Riley was just talking about how he is gonna demolish me in the tournament"Nion said. Nion walked up to Layla. "Yeah you got it right he was definitely talking about you zack being together"Nion whispered in laylas ear before walking away. Nion walked away from Layla and stood from the far right from Riley. "Nion you fucking dumbass"Nion whispered loudly to himself.
Of course, it didn't take him long to be spotted, soon after he got to his spot Layla found him, again. He walked over to them, where something was clearly wrong. When he finally got there he caught a few words Layla was saying to Riley.
"Woah! I knew you two were like, together and stuff but I didn't know you took it that far! Then Nion told Layla something clearly bothering him, and walked away.
"Ok wait so what did I miss? First you two are... doing stuff and now you got Nion quiet. Nion of all people," Zack stated, clearly confused by everything he just heard. He still couldn't believe the two would go that far so quick, but he guessed they'll do what they want. He also was curious what was on Nion's mind, seeing as he never wants to be away from the group. Something wierd was going on and Zack was frustrated he didn't know what it was.

Drew yawned as he woke up. He cracked his neck as he looked around. " Alright team return." He said as he started to walk towards the stadium.
McNiel mumbled as he watched the opening ceremony for the second round. He looked at his clock. " Soon." He thought.
Cortez laughed full heartedly as he drank some wine with his men. It had been a long year but soon they will have what they need to bring this world into a new order. ' Pop.' He heard he looked up as some of his men started attacking each other.

"What the hell? What are you talking about Layla? I did not... wait, what the fuck? Okay, that's messed up. I did not sleep with you if that's what you're implying." Riley was confused as to why Layla would even say such a thing. Things got even more complicated when Zack suddenly had something to say. Riley just shook his head as he listened to Zack. He was pretty sure Nion was probably falling for their trick.
'That has to be it! It's a trick!' Riley figured. There was no way Zack would just come into the conversation like that, already knowing what they were talking about. Zack and Layla were in this together. Riley started to grin when he realized he had figured it out. He was ready to flip the script on them.
"Okay, I've figured it out. There's no need to hide it anymore. It's clear to me what is going on." Riley started to explain. "Your plan was to make it look like I was with Layla but instead you're with Layla." Riley told Zack. "Since you both knew I would be the first to catch on, you both decided to make me look like I was with Layla!" Riley stated in an accusing tone. "So you and Layla did your thing last night and since I've caught on, you have to make it look like I was with Layla last night." Riley told Zack, believing he played a big part in this.
"I mean nothing is wrong with being with Layla, I would be glad to be with her as well." Riley said before realizing he said the aloud. 'I can't believe I just said that aloud.' Riley mentally cursed himself. Hopefully Zack wouldn't kill him for saying that. "However, that's beside the point. So yeah, congrats on Zack Jr. or whatever you decide to name your child. Also, send me an invite to your wedding." Riley said, having a grin on his face afterwards. He knew that they would have a response, but whatever it was, he already knew the truth.

Karl looked around. He were ignored by them, so he tried again. ''Heya guys... Last night weren't that good, so can we start this again? I'm pretty sure nobody is going to die today...'' Karl said with a awkward tone. All that happened were really awkward, at least for Karl. ''Well, my name is Karl and I'm a trainer too.'' Karl said trying to forget about the last night.
Drew walked up to the stadium as he watched as his opponent walk up. The woman was wearing a purple kimono. " Alright." The Reff said. " This is a three on three match." He said. " Begin."
Cortez coughed up blood. He stood up. He felt his side was wet with blood. He looked around. His base was being burned as his men were on the ground bleeding out. He looked and saw that the a man walk towards him. It looked like an a man he thought died years ago. " The masqueraders send their regards." The man whispered into Cortez's ears before stabbing him threw the heart with a knife. Cortez fell to the floor as blood flowed from him. The last thing cortez could feel was a warm feeling.

"Riley what the hell are you talking about? I left from the restaurant last night, went to my room, took a walk, and woke up on a bench. A-And do really think I'd get back with Layla? I told you yesterday I can't handle relationships! What did you hear? Jesus Riley, I can't be around you for 2 seconds without you trying to pin me with someone. Can you just drop it already and let me be?" Zack asked, really starting to get pissed that Riley wouldn't just leave him alone. Could he not just be a single dude? He shook his head and turned his back, walking back over to where he was originally positioned. Maybe the reason Nion left was because even he was getting tired of Riley's bullshit. A lot of things were going through his head, and he didn't like it. Hopefully, Riley would leave it there, with luck. He never seemed to understand when he'd taken it too far.
Layla acted like she didn't know what Nion was talking about to try and maintain the facade. She almost lost it when Zack walked up buying into the lie she was spewing. Layla barely held it together by looking away for a second. She honestly regretted starting this and wasn't sure why she thought it was a good idea in the first place but there was no backing out now. Layla wasn't sure how to feel about how violently Riley shot down the notion. She raised an eyebrow when he said he figured it all out and she really didn't know what to say to his grand realization. At the very least this whole debacle helped get her mind off of yesterday. Layla had heard just about enough of Riley's theory when he said something that really caught her off guard. She looked at him for a second and smiled seeing that he was a little surprised he said that. She supposed that was at least one good thing that came out of this. Zack fired back at Riley in an attempt to set him straight and after he finished Layla dropped her facade and spoke plainly, seeing as this got a little out of hand. "Okay, seriously though. Nothing happened with anyone okay? Everyone understand that?" She stared directly at Riley expecting his cocky nature to cloud his judgement.
Layla finally turned her head to Karl and she was a little confused at to why he was repeating himself and she thought it was a little inappropriate how he made light of what happened yesterday. She still gave him a smile and a wave. "I remember ya Karl, good luck today."

Riley looked at Zack after his outburst. He was honestly offended by what they were doing. "What am I talking about? What the fuck are you two talking about?! First Layla starts saying some bullshit and then you come out of nowhere saying you can't believe it." Riley stated before taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He watched as Zack walked away and Riley started to wonder if Zack was telling the truth. 'Okay, maybe Zack is right but then what is Layla talking about?' Riley thought to himself as he turned to Layla.
"So nothing happened?" Riley asked as Layla tried to clear everything up. He knew Layla wouldn't lie but her act just now added some doubt into his mind.

''Good luck too. This question can sounds dumb, but who is Zoe?'' Karl asked to Layla. At least Layla answered him. ''Oh, and what's your name? Sorry, this may sounds dumb too.'' He asked smiling. He was a little bit weird, but nobody never died in his front, so that was weird. At least for him.
Layla turned back to Riley who was staring at her clearly still a little skeptical. Layla cursed herself for partially causing this mess and felt bad for making things worse between Riley and Zack. She looked Riley in the eyes and spoke truthfully. "Nothing, um.. lovey dovey happened." She didn't want to go into detail but sense Riley apparently already heard she should just confirm that so he knew she was telling the truth. "The only thing that happened after 'dinner' was the, incident." She hoped that was enough to clear this mess up.
Layla turned back to Karl and was confused why he was asking about Zoe. She smiled a little when he forgot her name. "Oh, I don't remember that name. Also, I'm Layla."

Both balls hit each other as a Flareon and Ampherous came out of their respected balls.
" " Thunder." Drew said as a barrage of lightning came from Marry. Flareon jumped into the air and sent out a stream of fire at her.
Marry put her arms together as she tried to protect herself. Mary's fist turned into electricity as she tried to attack Umbreon it dogged repeatedly as it fired a flame blast at her causing Marry to scream before falling down Koing her.
The girl smiled sinisterly as Drew sent out Poli.
Poli quickly disposed of Flareon. Before a Espeon came out. Both Pokémon looked at each other before Poli sent out a torrent of water only for a beam of psychic energy broke threw the water and attacked Poli directly Koing him instantly
Drew sent out Kuma the ninetails. for his last stand. It moved quickly burning the espeon every chance it got before it fell to the ground. The girl smiled as she sent out a Vaporeon for her last pokemon. It quickly fired a a torrent of water at Kuma only for Kuma to fire fire at it. both moves collided with each other before the Vaporeon got the upper hand and started to hit Kuma repeatedly with surf. by the end of it Kuma was barley able to stand.
" Finish her." The woman said causing Vaporeon to create another wave of water. Kuma stood up and fired a beam of light at her quickly breaking threw wave of water hitting the Vaporeon directly. It caused it to fly into the air for a good few seconds before hitting the wall to the stand hard Koing it.
Drew looked and disbelief before wrapping his arms around Kuma and gently petting her forehead.

"You're not lying." Riley said quietly as he started to feel the guilt come over him. "I really messed up didn't I?" Riley asked Layla as he looked to Zack, who was standing alone. Their whole argument was based on a misunderstanding. Then he looked back at Layla when she finally said something about the incident. It occurred to Riley that if Layla didn't ignore his original question, the argument wouldn't have happened. Maybe she just didn't feel comfortable talking about it with him, especially after everything else that happened at the cafe. "Well I hope you're alright." Riley started to say. "I understand if you don't want to talk about it with me. Actually, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought that topic up in the first place." Riley said to Layla. "You probably don't even want to talk about this now so I'll stop and just leave you alone." Riley said before walking over to Zack.
Riley had to muster up all the courage he had to speak to Zack and say what he wanted to say. "Yo Zack, um, you probably hate me right now but I just wanted to say sorry. I went to far with this and caused us to have some petty argument. Yeah, and I don't think you should give up on relationships either." Riley said, not knowing what else to say. It was dumb but he didn't want Zack to hate being in a relationship.

Nion was looking at the ground while the group were talking. He just stood there looking at his phone. His eyes were wide. Somebody who worked for him had texted him saying he needed to go to an old abanded building because its spike levels on the radar were really high. Nion thought this could be cortex witch had been the leader of team rocket now this could meen he could ask cortex about his father. Nion who had been standing next to the tv. Nion had moved so quickly he knocked over the tv and began running to his car to begin driving there. He got in his car and drove there and in no time he arrived there. Nion walked into the building with two pistols in his hand. Nion was sweating and breathing heavily. Nion ran into the other room getting ready to shoot people. Nion looked around and people were on the ground dead. Nion eyes went to nervous to terrified. Nion walked around the room when he saw cortex laying on the ground. Nion ran to cortexes dead body. "no no NO NO NO!!!"Nion screamed. "please tell me this is a ditto or something!"Nion screamed. It was clear cortex was stabbed. Nion started crying uncontrollably. It was clear cortex was killed not that long ago. Nion became more terrified too scared to cry. Nion took out his phone and started calling drew. Nion put his phone up to his ear. Nion pointed his two guns around the room.
Zack sighed and crossed his arms as Riley walked over. He prepared himself for some more cocky insults, but instead got quite the opposite. He listened to Riley's apology, which was clearly forced and pretty hard for him to spit out, but probably the best he'd get out of Riley. He raised an eyebrow when he added the relationships bit at the end.
"Well it's about time you realize dumb ass," Zack said smirking. "But yeah, I forgive you. But, why don't you want me to stop relationships? I clearly cannot handle it, and it's just better all around for me, and whoever else that I just don't. A-Anyway, just don't continue to fit me in with someone every other sentence ok?" Zack asked, relieved Riley came to his senses. Hopefully the beef between them would finally end, and they could focus more on other matters.

Drew stopped as he heard his phone ring. He looked at the caller id. " What do you Nion." He asked as he laid sat down in the stands waiting fro the next battle to begin.
" This just in." a News Reporter said. " The criminal organization known as Team Neo Rocket has been officially dismounted. From reports shown their base at Azelea town was found and every member of their organization was found dead." The reporter said. " From the evidence found the leader of Neo Rocket was a so called peace lover named Emile Cortez." the reporter said as his picture showed up. " His body is currently unaccounted for." The reporter let out a breath. " In other news CEO of Dex industries Lex Peters has announced a new national pokedex cataloguing pokemon from mostly unknown regions."

"D-Drew I'm here in aabandoned lab I think cortex is dead like I see a stabbed corpse right in front of me that I think is cortex."Nion said into the phone clearly terrified. "I decided to call you because you've always seem to be the one to know about this stuff and mainly because I trust you the most seeing your family has saved me a couple of times."Nion said into the phone hoping drew knew where he was and would come there because he needed help.
Drew looked at the TV and saw what was going on. " Get out of there Nion. The police are all over the place. From what I heard Cortez was hit earlier today." He said. He let out a breath. " Let the Police take care of it." He said. He then looked around that girl he saw a couple of days ago was nowhere to be seen. He stood up. " Besides I think I someone might actually be in trouble." He said before hanging up the phone.
He didn't know why he cared about some girl he just met but he did. He let out a breath as he started to look for her.

"Yeah I was wondering where she was wasent her battle was suppose to be first..."Nion said behind drew with his alakazam by his side. "What if she was kinnaped by the same person that caused the scene st cortezes base"Nion said to drew returning his alakazam. "What if there's some force more powerful than anything we ever imagined and it's coming to bite all of us in the ass"Nion said thinking of what it might have been it had to be the one group that McNeil had been in but he hoped it hadn't.
Riley was relieved when Zack didn't go off on him like he expected. He figured Zack would also question the relationship part of his apology. "Well maybe it's just the way you are right now but I don't want that atitude to stop you from pursuing any other relationships. I know I keep bothering you constantly about it but it's because you actually have a chance to be in a good relationship. So yeah, I don't want to be the one who made you hate being relationships." Riley cleared that part up. Hopefully Zack understood what he was trying to say.
Zack took a minute to put together what Riley was saying, trying to figure out how to respond.
"Um, you don't have to worry about that, you aren't the reason I'm not 'pursuing' a relationship. Maybe I will in the future, when I'm more... stable, I guess. I've been working on it ever since the last tournament, but I'm still not comfortable with it. So uh, thanks for the apology," Zack said, starting to walk off. The conversation was getting a little to out of his comfort zone. He was a little weirded out by why Riley wanted him to continue trying to get in a relationship so much, but decided to push aside the topic and focus on getting ready for his battle. However before he got to the training fields, he had second thoughts. Well, I haven't hit the gym in awhile, I should probably do that before training my pokemon. They've been training non-stop the last few days. Zack decided, changing course to the gym. When he arrived, he was surprised to find the place empty.
"Well lucky me," Zack muttered, looking around the giant room. On one side of the room was the workout tools and mechanics, and on the other was an acrobatic area, with balance beams, swinging poles, and more.
"This is my heaven, in one building," Zack said, rushing over to the workout area. He did his usual routine around the machines, lifting weights, running, and practically every type of thing the gym had to offer. After quite a while of time, Zack decided to stop halfway, and work on the other side of the gym. He wanted to have energy left for that, so he made his way over and began working on some of his martial arts, meditation, and just for fun, a lot of flips, twists, and spins, just to show off. Even though no one was there.

Layla's gaze fell to the ground when Riley spoke to her in a surprisingly understanding tone. She was impressed with the way he tried to patch things up and she felt a little bad when he said he was just going to leave her alone. She knew that Riley really wasn't accustomed to apologizing so she really appreciated his words. She was even more impressed when he went and apologized to Zack. She couldn't hear what they were saying but she could tell it wasn't hostile at least. Then she noticed the list had been posted while they were busy talking. She was surprised to see her name second on the list and only then did she realize the first match had just finished. She had no idea how that time passed so quickly but she was just glad she saw the list when she did. She turned back around to see Zack leaving the waiting room, it didn't seem like he was mad at least. She walked past Riley to the stadium entrance managing a grin. She grinned happily toward him without saying anything and then entered the arena.
Layla took a deep breath as usual before stepping onto the field with the crowd still cheering from the last match. She smiled and waved happily, clearly in a good mood. She stopped at her spot right as a man who wasn't too much taller than her stopped on the other side. He seemed like an average guy, still taller than her because well who isn't? He didn't say anything he just looked her up and down before smirking and grabbing a pokeball. Layla Evans from Celadon City! Versus! Gabe Hickle from Mahogany Town! Begin!
They both tossed out their first Pokemon revealing her Quagsire and his Houndoom. Her eyes lit up just as Gabe saw the situation he was in and she had to play off the surprise quick. "Waterfall!" Quagsire rushed forward enveloped in water and slammed into the fire type before it's trainer could even call a move. It fell to the ground unconscious and Gabe sent out a hitmontop which she was a little surprised to see. "High Jump kick!" Hitmontop quickly launched itself and Quagsire and planted it's foot right in her gut sending her back several feet, dealing a ton of damage. Layla grimaced figuring her best bet was to do as much damage as possible rather than waste time switching out. "Waterfall again." Quagsire charged forward again and slammed into the hitmontop but it followed through with another high jump kick, knocking Quagsire out. Layla sighed at how by the books this battle was but she just wanted to win and get this battle over with at this point. She sent out her Skarmory which flew straight toward the hitmontop with an aerial ace knocking it unconscious. Gabe frowned not liking the situation he was in but it seemed he wasn't much of a talker as he simple sent out a Golem that used Rock slide. "Steel wing!" Skarmory flew straight toward the Golem, using steel wing to smash incoming rocks and finally to slam into Golem. Golem rocked back and forth before Skarmory swooped in again putting him down. The crowd cheered but it was nothing like any of her other battles. Layla returned her Pokemon and sighed at how underwhelming the battle was. She feigned excitement and waved to the audience as she walked back into the waiting room with a shrug. Not every battle is a banger I guess. At least I won.

What Did You Do To Snoke?
Previously Ratbag the Coward
Zoe awoke. She was tied to a wall in a prison cell, once again. Jack and Ripper took a look at her. "Who did you say you guys were again?"
"I'm Jack." Jack said to Zoe. "And this is Ripper." Jack pointed to Ripper. "All of here with these masks on...we're from a secret organisation known as the Masqueraders." Jack whispered.
"Why do you want me? Why have you got all these women with me?"
"Well, our boss wants to sell you lot to the highest bidder! He wants to sell you as a prostitute with the others! He's left in charge another person, though, who doesn't want this." Jack explained.
The Leader pushed open the door. "I'm back." He announced.
"There he is!" Ripper roared. Sudenly Daevara and a group of Masqueraders walked towards him. Zoe could see another prison cell with even more women in and she could spot her two sisters. The sisters glaced at her and saw her.
"Zoe?!" They cried.
"It's me!" Zoe shouted.
"Enough!" Daevara exclaimed. Daevara walked up to the Leader. "You are not in charge here. These women won't be sold like you said so."
"Why?"
"It's wrong...we can't do this..."
"Then what do we suppose we do with them."
"This." Daevara answered. She snapped her fingers and a group of Masquerader men fired a stream of bullets from machine guns. This instantly killed all the women in the prison cell in front of Zoe. Zoe jumped, then screamed.
"No!" She cried and the other women cried too. Water began to develop in Zoe's eyes. Her sisters were dead.
The Leader saw Zoe. He had his Gengar grab each of the guns from behind. The Leader then walked over to each of the grunts and picked them up with his bare hands and threw them into the walls.
"I'm the Leader here. I didn't order that. You won't kill the second batch of women."
"I'm sorry love, but, we won't respond to you anymore. Get him!" Daevara teleported out of the room and a group of grunts came in with their pokemon. The Leader's Gengar took them all out.
The Leader stared at Zoe. He took the keys for the prison and set her and the other girls free. He gave Zoe her pokeballs back.
"How did you know these were mine?" Zoe asked
"I...didn't..." The Leader said. "There's going to be more coming. I can tell. I don't approve of these Masquerader business anymore..."
More Grimers, Koffings, Nidorans, Ekans, Gastlys and other pokemon started spawning as more Masquerader grunts came in. Zoe sent out Daenerys to clean the floor with Dragon Pulse, which it did. Seeing Zoe's talent, the Leader praised her. "You're good...maybe you can stay and help me?"
"Why would I help you?"
"It'll give the other women a chance to escape." The Leader said, looking back as the women tried to run across the battlefield into the corridors of the underground.
"I'm Jack." Jack said to Zoe. "And this is Ripper." Jack pointed to Ripper. "All of here with these masks on...we're from a secret organisation known as the Masqueraders." Jack whispered.
"Why do you want me? Why have you got all these women with me?"

Nion who was talking to drew was interrupted by a police man. "We have proof your the cause of the 2 incidents your coming with me!"the Policeman said Nion just stood there for a moment. Nion just started running to his car wich he got to. He drove away from the tournament stadium and and headed to his mansion. Until 5 or 6 cars started chasing him. He began to go foreward to the bunker but his 2 back tires were shot off. "Shit"Nion said to himself. Nion was know rolling to a cliff. His car had barley balanced anough so it wouldent fall. "Yeah cliffs you will never win"Nion screamed. A police car then came running into him. "Fuck!!!!"Nion screamed while falling. Nion was pretty sure he was dead this time no one would save him so he was actually enjoying the fact he was about to die. Then Nion looked down. He was only 1/4 to the bottom "HELP ME!!!"Nion screamed.
Riley was a bit confused himself as to why he was talking to Zack about relationships of all things. It definitely caught him off guard but now he focused his attention to the tv showing Layla's match. Riley still felt a little guilt for what happened earlier but Layla seemed happy when she had walked to the battlefield. Her battle was interesting to say the least but it wasn't anything to special. Hopefully his match would be more entertaining.
As Riley walked onto the battlefield, the crowd roared in excitement, hoping the champion would provide an entertaining battle. Riley looked over to his opponent, Cameron was his name. He seemed to be more quiet than the other opponents Riley had faced, which he was grateful for. However, Riley just had a feeling Cameron wasn't showing his true colors yet. Riley didn't get a chance to learn more about his opponent before the match started.
Riley sent out Dragonite and Cameron sent out a Lapras. Riley smirked and shook his head, believing he had already won. Dragonite yawned as it looked at the Lapras. "Thunder punch!" Riley called out. Bright yellow electricity engulfed Dragonite's fist before it charged at the Lapras. Dragonite sent a crushing blow right on the Lapras' face which should've knocked it out. "Another one." Riley casually said before noticing a slight grin growing on Cameron's face. "Sheer cold!" Cameron shouted to his Lapras. Riley watched as the air around the field grew so cold that the crowd got quiet. Dragonite had disappeared into a thick fog that engulfed the battlefield. Riley couldn't see anything as he tried to keep himself warm. He knew Caneron was up to something but he never expected this. Once the fog cleared, Riley saw Dragonite frozen on the floor, not even moving. The crowd roared as Riley was now losing!
"Damn it!" Riley cursed his carelessness after returning Dragonite to it's poke ball. He was now down one Pokemon. Without hesitating, Riley sent out his next Pokemon, Scizor. "Bullet punch, now!" Riley commanded, not giving his opponent a chance to react. Scizor's fist glowed a greyish color it suddenly dealt a barrage of blows onto the Lapras. "Keep going!" Riley exclaimed, not wanting to give the Lapras the chance to retaliate. As Riley expected, the Lapras couldn't take much more due to Dragonite's earlier thunder punch and feinted after the barrage of bullet punches.
Cameron didn't seem to worried as he returned Lapras and sent out his next Pokemon, Arcanine. Riley cursed under his breath, already realizing the disadvantage he was at. However, Riley didn't get a chance to react as an extreme speed knocked Scizor to the ground. "U-turn!" Riley had to get Scizor out of there. A lime green aura came over Scizor before it went straight for the Arcanine, hitting it, then going right back to its pokeball. The Arcanine shook off the attack, since bug type moves are not that affective on fire types. Riley sent out Tyranitar, hoping the type advantage would end the match.
"Flare blitz!" Cameron shouted to his Arcanine. A fiery aura came around Arcanine as it dashed towards Tyranitar, hitting it in the chest. "Stone edge!" Riley shouted his counter attack. Tyranitar roared as large stones came up from the ground, literally crushing the Arcanine. It was out only after a few hits. Afterwards, Cameron sent out his last Pokemon, Ampharos.
"Keep using dragon dance." Riley told Tyranitar. He wanted to end it in one it. Cameron knew that this was his only opening and shouted attacks one after the other. "Thunder bolt, signal beam!" Riley heard Cameron shout. The attacks landed but didn't do any significant damage on the dancing Tyranitar. The crowd laughed as Tyranitar kept dancing, ignoring the damage. Once Riley figured it was enough, he told Tyranitar to use stone edge one more time. Ampharos couldn't even dodge the attack if it wanted to and it brutally crushed by the attack. The crowd roared as Riley walked off the battlefield, easily winning his second match.
Riley walked back into the waiting room and sat down on one of the sofas to watched the next match.

Riley heard Cameron shout. The attacks landed but didn't do any significant damage on the dancing Tyranitar. The crowd laughed as Tyranitar kept dancing, ignoring the damage. Once Riley figured it was enough, he told Tyranitar to use stone edge one more time. Ampharos couldn't even dodge the attack if it wanted to and it brutally crushed by the attack. The crowd roared as Riley walked off the battlefield, easily winning his second match.
Riley walked back into the waiting room and sat down on one of the sofas to watched the next match.
Layla stood in the waiting room and watched Riley's match on the monitor. She was surprised to see his dragonite get taken down but she wasn't worried. As much as she wished he wasn't as cocky about it, she had a feeling he was going to be the Johto Champion as well. As she stared at the TV watching Riley come back from the poor start her mind wondered back to the deaths that have been bothering her. She didn't know much about the homeless man but the man's last words still rang in her head. There has to be more going on with that, but she wasn't sure she wanted to go looking for trouble, nor did she know where to start.
Layla smiled and shrugged to herself as Riley's Tyranitar finished the second round. Unsurprising outcome but it was entertaining. She watched him causally stroll back into the room and sit on a sofa and after a second she walked over and sat next to him. She smiled and cheerfully congratulated him. "Nice job! I don't think I had ever seen your Dragonite faint before, I thought he was indestructible." She laughed slightly, trying to make small talk. She turns her head to Riley wanting to ask a question. "By the way, how did that talk with Zack go?"

"By the way, how did that talk with Zack go?"
Riley didn't know that Layla was still in the waiting room. If he had known, he would've gone up to her first. Either way, he was still glad she came over to him to talk. "Well first off, thanks for not scaring me like you did yesterday." Riley joked around. "As for Dragonite, he indestructible, I just got caught off guard, that's all. In fact, you could say I let Dragonite go down to make the match more interesting." Riley said, grinning as he knew that Layla could see through his bullshit.
"As for Zack, I think we're on good terms now. I apologized for what I did and he accepts it." Riley thought of what to say next. "However, maybe you should have a talk with him. If anyone, I'm sure you can get through to him and help him with the problems he's going through as well as clearing the air between you guys." Riley told her, before looking around to find Zack. "I guess he's still gone though. Maybe you can talk to him later, if you want to. I just think that once everything is sorted out, everything will go back to how it was... except Nion. I don't know what's up with him." Riley said, chuckling afterwards as he thought about where Nion could be.
