Incredible journey this 1 was. How dare Fern treat you that way. Although, I think you should help out a wee bit. Never know where the sword could be. You might find it sooner than later while helping out with Florinia's request.

It’s chill. Good thing this is coming back relatively shortly as I too am going on a bit of a hiatus from my own run. I’m in a “let’s record Pokémon fan made games” right now.

Either really enjoy her company or not be able to handle her insanity. Or she’ll break & be like Saki too.

By the way, this was the 1st time I've ever done like an intro on 1 of my videos. I'd like to know what you guys think of it. I know it's mediocre but I'm just a beginner at this. Haha.

So this is where I shall be posting my videos of my Pokemon Clockwork playthrough. I'll give my thoughts and stuff on the episode and then well yea. If any of you wanna ask me something, feel free to do so. I love answering questions!

Really? Nothing for Meganium or Feraligatr? I mean it's cool if you don't give them a secondary typing but Meganium deff could have fairy typing (unless that's not gonna be in your hack) and Feraligatr seems like it'd be a Water/Dark type.

Thanks and you should. I always love seeing other people and what they do with the reborn characters and their own and how they interact and maybe possibly change.

Plus, it wouldn't listen to you half the time in Reborn.

He'd pretty much have to like grab it out and then touch the Garchomp in like 2 seconds. Idk. Haha. A level 88 Pikachu from the start?

But it's still standing even when the battle ends. Haha.

Lol. I always just imagine that like the Garchomps HP bar isn't really all there. So when you "beat" it, it isn't actually beaten. After all, he does stop the battle himself. But yea. This way does make sense.

Me and Laura ran into Kiki’s room. Everyone else was already sitting around her. We came in and did the same thing. Kiki: Good. Everyone’s here. I cannot speak much, nor long. We already saw the Meteors pass through and they’ve begun climbing the mountain. Matthew: Damnit. I thought maybe we’d have a bit more time since we battled a couple of them before coming here. Cain: They’re gonna use a machine to make a Camerupt react with the volcano. Laura: They’re gonna force it to erupt! Victoria: Wait. If they do that, then the academy and everyone here will be… will be- Kiki: From what I’ve been told of their motives, I can only assume that it is more than that. Matthew: What do you mean Kiki? Kiki: The 2 may be separated by the toxic lake, but if Apophyll is destroyed, the city will be hurt as well. Cain: That doesn’t sound good at all. But it makes sense for them. They’re so hell bent on making everyone leave for some reason. Matthew: Wait wait. I’m confused. Not that I’m saying I want Apophyll destroyed but how would this place being in lava and gone hurt the city? Kiki: Well you see Matthew, even though we reject the technology which festers in Reborn, we are 2 sides of the same coin. Reborn, outside the city and within, is 1 whole. Matthew: Ohh. I get it. So if 1 part is gone, then things just wouldn’t be the same? Kiki: Precisely. And the power will shift to their favor. We must stop them and time is short. Cain: Well, if they’ve already begun, what can we do? Kiki: Our only hope is that Cal can hold them off til you all get there. Laura: Wait. Just us. What about you? Kiki: I-I… A-Ah… Victoria: You have to try to take it easy Sensei! You need to conserve your strength! Matthew: I know she’s in pain and all Victoria, but now’s not the time to try to be taking it easy. Victoria: Will you shut up Matthew? That’s not helping in the slightest right no- Kiki: Victoria! Stop that. He is only telling the truth. There is no time for that. Victoria: No… No you’re wrong. You’re both wrong. There has to be. Matthew… Cain… Laura… Please find a way to stop them. I;m going to stay here with Kiki and make sure that’s she’s ok. Matthew: Victori- Victoria: This is what I’m doing! Cain: It’s cool Matt. Just let it be. Matthew: Fine. Fine. Victoria: I’m trusting you 3 to help Cal out and stop Team Meteor. All right? Matthew: Don’t really like the guy but sure. Guess we don’t have a choice if he’s holding them up. Victoria: Ok. You’ve been acting weird since you got done battling him. Do you have a problem with him or something? Matthew: He’s a jerk. Plain and simple. Victoria: Or are you jealous of him? I think that’s it. Matthew: Why in the world would I be jealous of him? Like I said, he’s a JERK! Victoria: Why you- Kiki: ENOUGH! Ack! Urgh… Victoria: Sensei! Laura: Come on Matt. Me, you and Cain will go. Let Victoria stay with Kiki. Matthew: …Fine. Cain: We have to go quickly. Come on! Cain zoomed out of the room. Me and Laura followed suit, leaving Kiki and Victoria in the room. I was still pretty pissed about Victoria getting up in my face about Cal. If only she were up there when I was and heard what he said, she’d feel the same way I would. Or would she? Laura could see I was still mad. Laura: H-Hey Matthew? Matthew: What? Laura: I believe you. Matthew: What? Laura: I believe you. Matthew: About what? Laura: Whatever it is that Cal did or said to you up there on the mountain before… I believe you. -puts her hand on my shoulder- Matthew: -smiles, feeling better- Thanks Laura. As we made it up to the entrance of the cave, we could see a Team Meteor Grunt, Cain and his Nidoking out. We walked up beside him. Matthew: What’s going on dude? Cain: Well this guy popped out and I expected a battle, hence why my Nidoking is out. But he’s not doing anything but just… standing there. And not moving. Team Meteor Grunt: No sir. Those are the orders that were given to me. No entry or battle. Cain: Soooo… You’re not gonna send out a Pokemon? Just gonna stand there? Team Meteor Grunt: Yes. I’m just gonna stand here to block your path. Because that’s what I’m here for! Matthew: -turning to Laura- Why did he make that sound like he was being a super hero or something? Cain: Riiiiight. Nidoking?~ If you’d be so kind? Nidoking went up to the guy and knocked him down a small cliff, leaving him unable to climb back up. Me and Laura snickered as Cain continued to venture inside the mountain. Matthew: Ok. I know this is a serious situation that’s going on right now but… That was funny. Laura: Hehehe. I agree. Matthew: Alright. Let’s continue. Laura and I rushed into the mountain. As soon as we were about to go up the mountain, we heard a familiar voice call our names. Victoria: Matthew! Laura! Matthew: What’s she doing here? Victoria: Finally. Caught up to you. Matthew: Not that far of a run from here. Victoria: Look… I didn’t come here to fight Matthew. We gotta make sure that Team Meteor doesn’t succeed with their plan of making Pyrous Mountain erupt. Matthew. Alright. Alright. Fine. You’re right. Laura: But wait. What are you doing here at all. I thought you were gonna take care of Kiki. Victoria: She made me leave her. She said there was nothing I could do for her. Matthew (thinking to myself): THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO DRILL INTO YOUR SKULL WOMAN! Victoria: I know she’s right but… I don’t like it. Matthew: Trust me Victoria. She’ll be fine. Victoria: I hope so. So you know the way to the top, right? I’ll just follow the 2 of you guys. Matthew: Wait. Since there’s 3 of us going up, let’s come up with a quick plan. Laura: For what? Do you think we’ll be taking on Team Meteor Grunts in here? Matthew: I doubt Cain would just fight every single 1 on his way to the top of this mountain. Victoria: Matt’s right. Alright. Here’s what we’ll do. Me and Matt will be the primary attackers. Laura, you stay behind us and back off and Team Meteor Grunts that try to interfere. Matthew: And don’t worry. We’ll get them too after we deal with the ones we’re currently dealing with. Laura: Well… Sounds like a good plan just as any. Let’s go then! Victoria and I led the party upwards as Laura stayed behind us to keep off any oncoming Meteor Grunts. We faced many of them going up there but our plan of attack worked and we finally made it up to the top of the mountain. As we were making our final steps to the top, Victoria stopped us. Victoria: Can I ask you something Matthew? Matthew: What is it? Victoria: Before when you battled Cal, what did you think of him? Matthew: Ok… Seriously? You’re gonna ask that right now? Laura: No offense Victoria but… I agree with Matthew. We should just focus on the problem at hand. Victoria: Oh… Right. Sorry. We ran all the way up to the top and spotted everyone. Cain stood alone on 1 side while Cal, Taka & Solaris stood on the opposite. I found it kind of weird that Cal was resting near Team Meteor people but I couldn’t think about that right now. What was on my mind at that point was the people of Apophyll and Kiki. Now that she wasn’t here, I didn’t have to worry about her being beheaded by the Garchomp. We all ran up to Cain’s defense. Victoria: Ohh Cal! Were you defeated already? Cal: About that. Umm… Cain: I tried my best but I couldn’t take both of them at once. Ohh yea. Look over there. -pointing to the PULSE Camerupt- That’s the machine they’re going to use to destroy Apophyll! Victoria: It’s ok Cain. You did the best you could do for Apophyll and for that I thank you. Don’t worry. The rest of us will handle this. -walks up to Taka- I will not let you or anyone else lay a finger on Cal or anyone on Apophyll for that matter! Solaris: Haha. How amusing. Matthew: Time to get some revenge! I went to go face to face with Solaris but Laura put her arm up blocking me. I was shocked and confused by this. Matthew: Laura? Laura: Listen Matt. He seems like a really tough trainer. I’m part of the Elite 4. Let me handle him. Matthew: But you only have- Laura: I know. But I’m not part of the Elite 4 for nothing Matt. And trust me. I think you’re a great trainer but this… Matthew: You know what? You do this Laura. Show him who’s the real boss here. Laura: Thanks. I stood back as Laura stood toe to toe with Solairs. he was nervous for sure but she was trying to do the right thing for Apophyll. Solaris, however, didn’t seem started in the least. In fact, he snickered at it. Solaris: Hahaha. So, Laura right? Yes. My underlings informed me about you. An Elite 4 Member helping out. We did not expect that. At least not yet. Lauara: Y-You leave these people and this mountain alone! There’s no reason to do this! Solaris: I can hear the nervousness in your voice in that demand. Laura: I may be nervous but I w-won’t let you harm these people! Solairs: Hmm. Tell me. Is it true that you only have 1 Pokemon at your disposal at this time. Laura: -grabs her PokeBall and shows it to his face- Yes… It is. Solaris: Hmm. Let’s make this a little fun. It will be a 1-on-1 battle. If you win, we’ll pack up and leave this place. But if I win, I continue through with the plan. Laura: Umm… Solaris: In fact, if any of you can defeat 1 of the Pokemon I choose to face her in this battle, I will do just that. But… It is highly unlikely that that will happen. Laura looked around at everyone. Her eyes met Victoria’s, Cain’s and mine. She seemed to fixate on mine for some reason but then she looked back to Solaris. Laura: Fine. I accept your terms as well as everyone else here… Solaris: Excellent. Son, while I teach this Elite 4 Member a lesson, you take on the girl. Cain: Wait. You 2 are father and son?! Taka: Seems so. Matthew: Of course you 2 are. Solaris: Now, let the battle commence. Laura returned her Lilligant back to her PokeBall. Everyone looked on in disbelief. This even stopped the battle bewteen Victoria and Taka. Taka: Hmm. Even I didn’t expect that. Victoria: No way… Laura lost? Cain: Whoa… Matthew: Are you ok Laura? Laura: I’m sorry guys… I tried my best but… he’s just too tough… Solaris: Exactly. Not even a member of the Elite 4 can stop us. So if you’ll please- Kiki: If you will, please stand aside. The voice shocked us. Cain moved out of the way and let Kiki walk towards Solaris. Victoria: Kiki? What are you doing here?! You should be resting at the Academy! You’re too weak! My mind was racing. That video I saw. Kiki was getting closer and closer to the Garchomp. At any second, that beast could slice right through her neck and decapitate her. I was horrified. Laura: Kiki… I’m sorry. Kiki: It is alright young 1. You did what you could to defend this place. Thank you. Now please step back. Laura: A-Alright… Kiki: -throws a PokeBall into the air- Medicham! Solaris: Hmph! No matter how many of you there are, you cannot stop it. The PULSE will soon reach full capacity. Kiki: In that case… Medicham, destroy that machine with High Jump Kick! Solaris: Cal, stop it! Cal: Magmortar! Catch it! Magmortar popped out of its PokeBall and caught the Medicham in time. Laura, Victoria, Kiki, Cain and myself all looked at him in shock. Matthew: I knew there was something about you… You were standing over them by their side. I should have put 2 and 2 together! You son of a- Victoria: Wait… Cal, you’re betraying us? Cal: Sorry Victoria. I know this isn’t what you thought of me. But I suppose I have a habit of not really being what people want me to be. Matthew: Shut up Cal… Solaris: Now… Dispose of it. Cal: What? But that- Soalairs: Do it. Now! Cal:… Do it Magmortar. Magmortar turned towards the lava. It held Medicham behind it and then through it into the lava, killing it instantly. Everyone was in total shock at the sight of this. Kiki: My… My… Cal: Sorry Sen- Kiki… Solaris: All those who oppose Team Meteor will be silenced. As soon as I heard Solaris say that, I turned around ready to run towards Kiki to try to push her to safety. But it was too late. Solairs: Execute Garchomp! With amazing speed, the Garchomp sped in front of Kiki. Kiki looked up at the beast and closed her eyes as it raised its scythe like hands and swung down slicing Kiki’s neck, killing her instantly. Laura was standing right next to her. She jumped back, almost falling off the mountain. Everyone dropped their jaws in total shock and horror. Cal: No! Why did- Victoria: Kiki! Cal: Solaris! This was NOT part of the plan! Solaris: She would have died in the flames. You have no reason to be upset. You knew this would hap- Cal: No, I didn’t want this! You know what? I’m done. Solaris: Hm. It seems you’re as weak as your brother advised, after all. Matthew: Really?! So everything you said to me before Cal. Was it all true? Or were you just trying to make me feel sorry for you. Cal: I was serious Matt. And you Solaris, maybe I am. I am also pathetic. But Kiki made me realize that and also helped me accept it. Strength isn’t what’s important. Or maybe it is, and maybe weakness is just standing by, not doing anything to stop the things you hate from happening around you. But I’ll stop that right now. Magmortar? Destroy the PULSE! Magmortar turned towards the PULSE and launched a powerful Flamethrower attack. It connected and somehow released the Camerupt. The PULSE Machine was now destroyed. I don’t know why. Maybe knowing that there was nothing left they could do or they didn’t want to lose their Pokemon either, everyone recalled their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. Except for Solaris. Garchomp went back to its place in front of its master. Solairs: Blake was right. You are useless and you killed your own teacher. I was seething. The fear that I had when I 1st met Kiki finally came true. And I was not happy. I was seething with rage. I was hurt and angry. Kiki didn’t deserve to die that way. I slowly walked up to Solaris. Laura: Matthew? Cain: Matt don’t. It’s not- Victoria: Wait Cain… Solairs: Haha. Matthew, I am quite surprised that you’d step up to me, let alone challenge me. I suppose we still have unfinished business with each other. Matthew: You killed Kiki and had her Pokemon burned alive. What is WRONG with you?! Do you have no soul in your heart?! Nothing?! Solaris: As I said, anyone that gets in Team Meteors way must be eliminated. Which reminds me. -looks towards Laura- While you are not a threat to me at this time, I would like to keep it that way. So? Garchomp, execute! Laura: What?! Matthew: You motherfucker! No! Laura! The Garchomp sped right to in front of Laura. It raised its arm into the air but unlike with Kiki, I was able to push Laura to the corner of the mountain, keeping her safe from the attack. But I didn’t think of my own move after that. I looked up at the beast and watch it swing its scythe like arm towards my face. Now I have no idea how this happened but I was able to make it miss going for my throat. That was the lucky part. The unlucky part was this. Its sharp arm somehow came into my mouth and slashed through it. The Garchomp jumped back in front of Solaris. I held my cheek to try to stop the bleeding but it felt so weird. I slowly let go and could see that my cheek was hanging by my skin. It was gruesome looking. Everyone looked on disgust. You could literally see the teeth on the right side of my face. Laura got really concerned for me. Laura: Oh my…. Oh my Arceus….. Matt, are you ok?! Matthew: Ahhhhhhh! (slurred): It’s really painful! Urrrrgh! Solaris: Well, I was going for a kill but seeing you suffer does bring me a lot of joy. Haha. Victoria: Matt! Holy Arceus! Cain: Whoa. What the… You’re crazy! Taka: Ok. That’s seriously fucked up. Even for me. I was in horrible pain, fearing for my life and really fucking pissed off at Solaris for trying to kill the girl that I really liked. I held my cheek back to its original place. I slowly stood up, with blood pouring from my face to the ground. I looked up at Solaris and gave him a death stare. But of course this didn’t affect him. Solaris: Is there something you wanna say? Or at least try to say? Matthew: Urrrrgh! WEEETTHAAAAAAAAAAM! I said the name and the transformation happened but it was different. Something went wrong with this 1. I could feel Wehttam taking over but unlike most times, I didn’t feel myself leave. I was still in control and soon, so was Wettham. We fell to the ground. Laura: Ma… Matthew….? Taka: What in the hell just happened to him? Cain: Matt? I slowly started to rise back to my feet but I was a bit groggy. I wasn’t sure what was going on at 1st. I looked at my friends but they looked at me with confusion. Even Solaris looked out of it looking at me. I pulled out my PokeGear and looked at the dark screen. My right eye had turned completely red and the left side of my hair turned all grayish white. Just like Wehttam. I looked at my body but when I talked, 2 different voices were heard but saying the same thing. ???: What the… What’s happened to me? Solaris: What is going on here? What has happened to you? Victoria: Matthew, your cheek! I felt it. It was back in place where it was. But how was that possible? Suddenly, I felt myself talking in a weird way. ???: (Wehttam) Ahhh yeeees. It seems I have returned to the living world but this time with a twist! (Matthew) Wait. Wehttam? But… How? How is this possible? (Wehttam) I am not sure but it feels WONDERFUL to not be alone here. Laura: Umm… Can anyone tell me what’s going on with him? Cain: I have no clue but… It’s kind of cool. Solaris: Matthew, I- Mattam: (Wehttam) Uh uh uh. It’s not Matthew. (Matthew) Well, it’s not like it’s all just you here Wehttam. (Wehttam) True vessel my soul resides in. I suppose that when you see us like this, call us Mattam. (Matthew) Mattam? Really? Well I suppose it’ll have to do. This is still so weird though. (Wehttam) Maybe for you but for me, this feels fantastic! YEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeSsSsSsSsSsSs! We walked up to Solaris and grabbed a PokeBall from our belt. Solaris still looked confused but also didn’t show any kind of scared expression on his face. Solaris: What in the world are you doing Matthew? You are being ridiculous. Mattam: (Matthew) No, YOU’RE being ridiculous! You killed Kiki and then tried to kill Laura! (Wehttam) It is high time that we have tried to DELETE you from this realm as well. (Matthew) Even though this is new to me… Well both of us, we challenge your Garchomp to a battle Solaris. (Wehttam) YES! So what do you say Solaris. Will you give us a battle with the Chomp of Gar?! Solaris: I don’t know what kind of facade you’re putting on here for your friends but I’ll be gladly to put you down and shut you up once and for all. Luara: Oh my… They did it… They beat him! Victoria: Wow. That’s incredible! Cain: You’re a strange trainer but I’m loving that ass kicking you gave~ Mattam: (Wehttam) Ahh yes. The purple boy wonder. It is a pleasure to meet you acquaintance. I am sorry for the odd way we had to meet though. (Matthew) So Solaris. You’re 1 Pokemon couldn’t defeat me. What now? Solaris: Hmph. There is no point in staying here any longer. Matthew… You are Team Meteor’s #1 enemy and will be eliminated any means necessary. Until then, Farewell. Let’s go Taka. Taka: As you say father. Taka and Solaris got off of the mountain. Victoria ran over to Kiki’s body and held her. Cal walked up to her. Cal: Victoria… I’m so sorry. I never meant for this to- Victoria: Then just what did you mean to happen, Cal?! You meant to destroy all of Apophyll? What about me? Did you want me dead too? Cal: No! Victoria: -Turning to Mattam- Matt or Wehttam or whatever, you were right. He is a jerk. A major 1. Mattam: (Matthew) Thank you! (Wehttam) Anger has become of you Matthew. But I understand why. (Matthew) I hope you do! Victoria: -turning back to Cal- What were you thinking?! Were you lying to us the whole time!? Did you even care at all?! Well?! Cal: Victoria, I- Victoria: No! Just… Just shut up. Shut up and don’t talk to me. Leave. Cal: I’m sorry… Victoria: I can’t even look at you right now. Cal:… That’s fine. Cal went back to where I had last seen him. Everyone else remaining all circled around Kiki’s body. Victoria was sobbing. Cain: Victoria, are you ok? Victoria: I’m fine but Kiki… Mattam: (Wehttam) While I haven’t met this vessel as she was alive, I would assume that she had saved the place in some way or another. (Matthew) She did. She really did. Cain: Apophyll is saved thanks to Kiki’s actions. Victoria: That’s right. She died protecting the place she loved. It was her home and everyone there was her family. She… She built it from the ground up. Laura: She gave life to it. Victoria: And for it. Kiki… I’m so sorry. Mattam: (Matthew) Hey. You did everything you could… Although some of them weren’t the best but… Your heart was in the right place and that’s what matters. (Wehttam) I concur with his words. Yeeees. As we all continued to look at Kiki’s body, I started to feel a little dizzy and wobbled backwards a bit. Laura: Mat… Mattam? What’s wrong? Mattam: (Matthew) I’m… I’m not too… sure. I feel dizzy… (Wehttam) This form is new to me as well and I can feel myself slipping back into this vessel. (Matthew) So… I’ll have control of… Ooof… I’ll have control of my body… again? (Wehttam) It appears so. I apologize for how I came out but it seems that it was effective still. (Matthew) Yes… Yes it- Before I could complete my sentence, I felt Wehttam completely go back into the soul in my body. The gray hair line vanished as did my red eye. I started to feel something wet on the side of my cheek. I felt it and it was all bloody again, with my cheek again hanging off to the side. As soon as I saw that, I fainted onto the ground. Laura came running over to me. Laura: Matt! Matt! Say something to me! Matt! Cain: Ok. I don’t know what the HELL is going on with him but we gotta bring him back down to the academy. Victoria: Right. I’ll carry Kiki down and you 2 get Matt. We have doctors down there. They’ll stitch his cheek back together. Laura: Ok. Good. Don’t worry Matt. We’ll get you to safety. Laura and Cain somehow were able to pick me up and drag me down to Apophyll Academy as Victoria carried Kiki’s body. Sometime later, I woke up. I was back in Kiki’s old room in the academy. Laura looked over to me and was delighted to see me up. Laura: Hun! You’re awake! Matthew: Wha- Ow! Cain: I’d give talking a rest for a while right now. The doctors here did all they could to reattach your cheek back. Victoria: It looks pretty good to be honest. Laura: At least you’ll have a bad ass scar. Matthew: -laughs weakly and tries to talk without moving my cheek- Hey… How long was I out for. Cain: It’s been about… a day and a half? Matthew: Wha- Ow! Victoria: We wanted to make sure you were ok and stuff. That whole thing up on the mountain was absolutely crazy. Matthew (slurring my words): Do you mean Solaris slicing my cheek open or… The other me? Laura: Umm… I mean- Cain: Pretty much both. We’d ask you for an explanation on the other you coming out and your eye and hair changing but with your condition, we’ll hold off on that. Matthew (slurring my words): Hehe… Thanks… Victoria: By the way, I wanted to do this when you were awake and alert so here. -walks over to me holding out a disc- As owed to you by my former master, I present you, Matthew, with the Machine, Strength! Laura: That’s awesome! Matthew (slurring my words) : Thanks Victoria… But there’s bad news right? Victoria: You can read faces that good huh? While I would love nothing more than to give you the Fury Badge you so rightfully deserve… I’m afraid I cannot. Since Kiki… You know… Matthew (slurring my words): It’s ok. I’ve went through this kind of thing once before. You don’t have to say it. Laura: Someone should contact Ame for the reserve Fighting Leader. Victoria: Right. I’ll make sure to do that later. Matthew (slurring my words): So… What now? Victoria: Well, I don’t know what the 3 of you are going to do but… I will be remaining here at the academy henceforth. Kiki chose me to be the leader of Apophyll Academy. So I apologize Matt but… We can’t travel together anymore. Matthew (slurring my words): Hehe… Don’t be so sad… The people here need you… Victoria: I’m also sorry I didn’t believe you about Cal. I can’t believe he… he- Matthew (slurring my words): It’s ok. It’s in the past now. Just… You can’t think about it… It’ll destroy you. Trust me. Victoria: Right… Thank you. Cain? Matthew? You 2 have to beat the Reborn League for me alright? Laura: Excuse me but I’m RIGHT here! Haha. Victoria: Haha. Ohh yea. Sorry. I forgot you were part of thr Elite 4. Laura: Haha. It’s ok. Cain: Haha. Well, when I’m asked to beat something, it’s a little more intimate, but you got it honey~ Victoria: Uhh… Do I even wanna know? Matthew (slurring my words): Hahaha… Cain, I’m so glad to hear you making jokes like that. Cain: Me too bud and probably not. But I’m just trying to lighten the mood~ But hey. Before we do that, some other things gotta come 1st, remember? Victoria: Yea. You all still have to save the kids. Cain: Which means that Matthew has to beat my sister Aya, huh. Laura: Is that a bad thing? Cain: I guess not. But she’s just like… grrrr sometimes you know? Laura: I actually do. Cain: Well anyways, I’m gonna head down to the Byxbysion Gate to open it for you. Although, take as long as you need to rest up. Whatever happened to you what you were up there REALLY messed you up good. Matthew (slurring my words): Thanks Cain. And I promise to all of you, I’ll do my best to explain what you all saw up on Pyrous Mountain. Cain: Sweet. Can’t wait to hear all the juicy details on that.~ Well see you all later~ Cain left the room. All that remained in there was me, Laura and Victoria. Finally, Laura spoke up. Laura: Um… Hey Victoria? You think I can talk to Matthew alone for a couple of minutes? Victoria: Yea. Sure. I’ll be out in the courtyard doing stuff. Victoria left. When she did, Laura came closer to me. I was a little bit scared on why she wanted to be alone with me. Laura: Matt, what you did up there… That was so brave of you. I don’t know why you saved me but- Matthew (slurring my words): I did it because I couldn’t bear to see you hurt or worse. Laura: Yea but your cheek is all messed up thanks to me. Matthew (slurring my words): If that scene were to play out again, I’d do it all over again. Laura: Ohh my Arceus… Matt… -puts her hand on mine- You’re 1 of the sweetest boys I’ve ever met. Matthew (slurring my words): Hehe. Thanks Laura… -slowly intertwines my fingers with hers this holding her hand- Laura: I think… I think I wanna change my answer from before. Matthew: (slurring my words): Wh-What do you mean? Laura: On the boat. You asked me to be your girlfriend and I said no. I wanna change my answer. I mean… That’s ok right? I smiled as big as I could. I looked as she smiled back at me. She leaned over and kissed the cheeks that wasn’t all messed up. That made me shutter with shyness. Matthew (slurring my words): I-I didn’t think that this would ever happen Laura. Laura: Well now it is. Hehe~ Matthew: Thank you… Urgh… I’m still in pain and I feel like I’m falling asleep. Laura: That’s ok hun. Lay your head on my arm and rest up. We need as much rest as we can get for the next part of our journey anyways. Matthew (slurring my words): You’re right. Thanks hun. I laid my head on my new girlfriend’s shoulder and slowly went back to sleep. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

We were on the boat in the living quarters headed towards Azurine Island. Laura looked up to me. She could see that I was still worried. Laura: Hey… It’s gonna be ok Matthew. He’ll be fine. Matthew: I hope so… If he’s still… You know, I’ll let him say whatever he wants without barking at him to stop. Laura: What does he say that makes you do that? Matthew: Well… You’ll see… Hopefully. So, have you ever been here before? Laura: No. I’ve only heard about it. This is gonna be my 1st time here. Matthew: I see. Then we’ll be going in totally blind. Ohh well. At least we have each other. Laura: Hehe. Yep. Speakers: WE HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION: AZURINE ISLAND. PLEASE ENJOY YOUR VISIT. Matthew: Looks like we made it. You ready? Laura: I’m ready as I’ll ever be. Laura and I walked out onto the deck and then off the boat and onto the island. The whole area was swampy looking. Our shoes were getting all muddy and mucky. Laura: Ew! I hate this. Matthew: Tell me about it. I hate it too. But the faster we find Cain, the faster we can get off of this island. Laura: You’re right. Let’s go searching then. We took off deeper into the island to search for Cain. We looked everywhere we could but so far, there was no trace of him. As I was continuing to walk in this direction. Laura called out to me. Laura: Hey Matt! Wait! Come back here really quick! Matthew: What is it? Did you find something? Laura: -pointing to the ground- Is that an earring? I looked down to where Laura was pointing at and saw an earring. I picked it up from the mucky ground and tried to clean some of the mud off of it. As I continued to clean it, I realized something. Matthew: Wait… This is… This is… Laura: What? What is it? Matthew: This is Cain’s earring. He never takes these things off. Well unless he’s about to get “busy.” Uh… Anyways, this at least confirms he’s here somewhere. Laura: It does… But where? I looked around at all of our surroundings. It was a decently sized island but I wasn’t about to give up. Matthew: I’m not sure but I’m not gonna quit looking for him. Come on. Let’s go. Laura: Right! We continued our search for Cain. We searched every area we were able to but still, we had no luck. Finally, we found something. It looked like a house of some sort. Laura went to walk in but I stopped her. I needed to talk to her before we just went in. Laura: Why’d you stop me? Matthew: Hey, I’m not too sure but I’m pretty sure that this is the work of Team Meteor. Laura: Team Meteor? Who are they? Matthew: An evil organization that’s trying to wipe out Reborn for some reason. Laura: What?! That’s just insane! Matthew: I know. But I just thought you should know before just going in there with you not knowing about these guys. Laura: How sure are you that they’re behind this? Matthew: About 99.9% sure. Laura: What’s the .1% for? Matthew: Cain might have gotten lost and just came here to ask someone for directions. But I highly doubt it. Now, are you ready? Laura: Mhm. Me and Lilligant are ready. Matthew: Good. I had Laura stay behind me. I put my hand on the doorknob, opened the door fast and stormed inside. When we got inside the building, I could see 2 Team Meteor Grunts but they weren’t just any ordinary grunts. Eclipse: Ahh hello! Was not expecting you here. Aster: Ohh hi Matt! Matthew: Yea. Hi Aster. Eclipse: Seriously Aster. He compliments you 1 time and you suddenly become his best friend? He didn’t even mean it. Aster: Of course he did. Right Matthew? Matthew: Of course I meant it. Aster: See Eclipse? He did! Eclipse: Whatever. Who’s the girl there? Laura: M-My name is Laura. I’m part of the Elite 4. Now let Matt’s friend go n-now! Aster: Wait. Did she say the Elite 4? Eclipse: What?! How could you possibly have gotten an Elite 4 Member to help you?! Matthew: Well 1 of the kids your team kidnapped was her younger sister soooo- Aster: Well… That was unexpected. Eclipse: Doesn’t matter though. Your purple haired friend is already captured. Aster: Boss’ orders of course though. Eclipse: Apparently, he escaped that previous ambush that took your sister and others. Laura: Where is she?! Aster: Sorry but we can’t say. Eclipse: Anyways, we had to correct that mistake. And now, we’re gonna take you 2 out. Matthew: Haha. Ohh boy. Yea. We’ll see about that. It was Aster & Eclipse against me and Laura. Despite Laura having only her Lilligant, it’s high level power was enough to make this battle a breeze and easily defeat through these 2. Aster: Wow… I never fought an Elite 4 Member before. That felt amazing! Eclipse: Shut it Aster. This isn’t a good thing. Aster: Ohh yea. You’re right… Sorry Matthew. Matthew: Where is he?! Eclipse: Hehe. Good luck finding your friend.~ Aster: Haha. Yea! We’ve got him hidden away in here good. I smiled at the remark Aster just said. Eclipse did a face palm and looked like she was going to kill him. Matthew: Aster, I have to say this again. You’re my FAVORITE member of Team Meteor. Aster: Haha. I know but thank you. Eclipse: Are you… Why… Can you just for once in your life shut the fuck up?! You just told them that he’s here! Aster: Ohh… Whoops. Eclipse: Ugh Whatever. We need to go inform the boss of another enemy. We’re gone. See ya! And just like that, Aster & Eclipse rushed out of the building. Laura looked at me with a weird expression on her face. Laura: That’s Team Meteor? Matthew: 2 of the many grunts they have. Laura: They seem weird. Matthew: Those 2 are basically the only weird ones on the team. Everyone else… Trust me. They’re dangerous. Laura: I’ll have to be careful then. Seems I’ve made an enemy today. Matthew: Sorry about that. Laura: It’s ok… They kidnapped my sister. I think it was inevitable that we’d cross paths at some point. Matthew: True. Alright. They have to have a hidden room in here somewhere. Look for anything suspicious. We started to investigate the room to see if there was a secret switch for a secret room or anything like that. But so far, we couldn’t find anything. 15 minutes into our search, Laura called me over to a piece of machinery. Laura: Hey Matt. Come over here. Matthew: Find something? Laura: There’s something behind this machine. Matthew: Alright. Let’s move this. We went to 1 side of the machine and started pushing. It was a little tough but we eventually moved it out of the way. When we got done with moving it, we looked back and noticed another doorway. We walked through and up the path. At the end, we were faced with a couple of Team Meteor Grunts, Taka, a Camerupt trapped in a cage and as well as Cain trapped in a cage. Taka: Mhm. Yes. Camerupt is ready. Let’s get going shortly, all right? Matthew: Not too sure you’ll be leaving shortly. Taka: Ohh. Hey Matthew. Didn’t expect to see you down here. -looks over at Laura- Who’s the girl? Matthew: Ohh she’s just a friend. Cain: Thank Arceus you’re here Matthew! And… Wait. Laura!? You’re part of the Elite 4! Why are you here?! Laura: My little sister was part of the group of yours that got kidnapped. So I’m with Matthew and helping him to rescue them and now you. Taka: Haha. Making friends in high places are we Matthew? No biggie. So, came for you friend huh? Yea. Sorry about that. Matthew: Not too sure how sincere you are on that 1. Taka: Take it as you will. We were ordered to capture him. It was so simple though. He was just sailing right be so we grabbed him and and now here we are. Cain: Ohh Matthew! I am but a damsel, imprsoned and distressed! Matthew, save me! My darling prince! Matthew: Cain, you have no idea how happy I am to hear you say those things. Cain: Hehe.~ Taka: Still. I’m quite surprised you found us. This island was meant to be for breeding Pokemon and repopulating the region. Matthew: That’s what this island is for? Laura: I never knew that. I thought it was just an island. Taka: Well it’s not anymore. We closed it. But nobody should be coming here. Matthew: Well we’re here. Taka: This building here. It was just an observation center. Well, until we- Matthew: Let me guess. Hijacked it? Taka: Well despite being sarcastic, you are correct. Cain: Matt! Laura! They’re gonna try to attack Apophyll! I stood there looking at Taka but in my mind, I was playing out scenes that could happen. But a lot of them ended with the same vision. Kiki being killed by the Garchomp. Taka: Well yea. That’s the plan. Take a PULSE up there as well as the Camerupt. You probably already know this but Pyrous Mountain is the last active volcano in Reborn. Laura: What are you planning to do there? Taka: We take the Camerupt, put it into the PULSE Machine and have it use Eruption. Then we can say bye-bye to Apophyll. Matthew: That’s totally fucked up. Taka: True. But still. That’ll be 1 pocket of civilization wiped off the map and off our to-do list. Matthew: Well you won’t have any luck in succeeding with your plans! Taka: Haha. Anyways… We were also ordered to capture you as well. Although, we didn’t expect you to walk in here with an Elite 4 Member but no matter. Time for you to be captured. Laura: Good luck with that. I won’t let Matthew fight alone. Matthew: You will. Laura: Wait. What? Matthew: Well, not completely. I need you to take out the rest of the grunts in here. I’ll deal with Taka. Got it? Laura: Yes. Alright Lilligant! Time for another battle with these Team Meteor Grunts. Team Meteor Grunt: Holy Moly. Even with just 1 Pokemon, she wiped us all out like it was nothing. Laura: Well I’m not an Elite 4 Member for nothing you know. Taka: Ohh well. I tried. Seems like you’re still be freed huh? Matthew: Looks like it. Taka: Well, in that case… Team Meteor, prepare to retreat. And bring Camerupt with us. I’d say we just gotta hope Matthew doesn’t try to stop us but that would be stupid of me to say. We’ll see you up there Matthew. The grunts and Taka took everything they needed and bolted out of the building. Laura and I went over to the cell and pulled it open, releasing Cain. Cain: Phew! I knew you’d come for me~ Laura: Are you ok? Cain: Yea. They just brought me back here. I’m surprised you’re traveling around with an Elite 4 Member Matthew! Matthew: Yea well- Cain: And I was just kidding before about the damsel and prince thing. Matthew: Trust me. I was soooo happy to hear that coming out of your mouth. Cain: Hehe~ Someone has a soft spot for me huh? Matthew: Ohh shush. Laura: I don’t mean to break up this reunion but what about Pyrous Mountain? Cain: Ohh yea! We gotta hurry! If we don’t get there in time, those Meteor freaks are gonna make Pyrous erupt and destroy Apophyll. Matthew: I’m not gonna allow that to happen! Cain: Good. I’m gonna head over there now. Hopefully, I won’t get captured again. I’ll see you guys there! Cain ran out of the room being followed by me and Laura. We hopped back onto the boat and went back to Apophyll Beach. As soon as the boat got there, we jumped onto the beach and ran straight over to the academy. As we got there, we saw Victoria standing outside, waiting for us. Victoria: Matthew! Laura! Cain told us everything that happened! Laura: So what do we do? Victoria: Come to Kiki’s room. She wants to talk to us all! And with that, Victoria ran back to the room. Me and Laura followed suit, not wanting to waste anytime. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES Original Double Battle Video Here!

Hey! This is back! Yay! So a Pachirisu had somehow gotten Candy to Vanilla huh? Hmm. Interesting. But I liked the filler episode! Fights! More mysteries! More Candy! And more broken bones! xD Good job as always.

After resting up for a bit, I proceeded to go to Kiki’s room. When I got in there, I saw Kiki kneeling on the floor with Victoria behind her and Laura beside her. I walked up to them. Victoria: Sensei, please! If you keep pushing yourself, you’re going to hurt yourself! Kiki: N-No. Willpower… is a muscle. I… will not… let mine… slip… away… I have always said: 1 must fight hard to defeat the chaos inside. This just happens to be my chaos. So if you will, please allow me to fight it. Matthew (whispering): Hey Laura. What happened? Laura: I’m not sure. She was fine 1 moment and then just feel to her knees in pain. I don’t know what’s going on. Kiki: Ohh Matthew. You have returned. Please pay no regard to the weakness you just witnessed. Matthew: Uhh, yes! Ok. Kiki: I am perfectly fine. I was just only a bit winded. That’s all. Victoria: So, how was Cal? I mean like, did you beat him in a battle? Matthew: Yea. Although, I got to be honest, for a former Gym Leader, he wasn’t that tough. Kiki: So you did. I see. Victoria here has alos already been informed of everything she must do. That means there is but 1 thing left to do. Matthew, I will face you in an official Reborn League match. If you win, not only will you have your badge but you more importantly will get your machine as well. Matthew: Sweet and double sweet. Laura: Ooo. A Gym Battle. It’s been a while since I’ve witnessed 1 of those. Would it be alright if I watched from the sidelines. Kiki: Do as you wish Laura. I will be waiting for your arrival in the courtyard Matthew. Kiki started to walk out the door but when she got to the doorstep, she bent over and grabbed her stomach in pain. Kiki: Ugh! Ooo. Apologies. I-I am all right. She proceeded out of the room and into the courtyard. Matthew: You ready to watch me beat a Gym Leader? Laura: Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in watching you battle. This ought to be fun. Matthew: Now you’re talking. Let’s go! Me and Laura raced out of the room and were about to go to the courtyard but as soon as we got to the door, Victoria stopped us. Victoria: Matthew! Laura, wait! I need to tell you 2 something. Laura: What’s wrong? Victoria: When you were gone Matt, Kiki didn’t give me the graduation exam at all. Matthew: What? Then what were you 2 doing all this time? Victoria: She instead showed me how to run things here in the academy. Laura: Why would she do that? Is she gonna retire soon or something? Victoria: No, it’s worse… Matthew, Laura… Kiki’s dying. My heart dropped to the floor. I was already worrying about her being beheaded by Solaris’ Garchomp and now I’m being told that she’s dying as we speak. Me and Laura looked at each other with sad faces and then back towards Victoria. Matthew: How… How long has she been sick for? Kiki: She’s been sick for months but she’s trying her hardest to hide it from the academy students here. Laura: Makes sense. She seemed off. Last time I was here, she seemed more like her usual self. Matthew: Man… When did you find out. Victoria: She just told me before. And worst yet… There’s no cure. Laura: What? No way… Matthew: Fuck! Victoria: I think she intends for me to take over when she… when she… Laura: You don’t have to say it. We know… Matthew: This seriously fucking sucks. Like… Fuck. Victoria: Umm… Laura, can I talk to Matthew alone for a few seconds? Laura: Ohh sure. Yea. I’ll just head out to the courtyard. Laura walked out to the courtyard, leaving me and Victoria by ourselves. I could see she wanted to say something but was afraid to. Matthew: What is it? It’s ok. Just say it. Victoria: Matthew… I don’t feel good about you fighting her like this! Matthew: No. No no no no no. Not this again. Victoria: Just hear me out. I’m sure we’ll be able to convince her to give us the machine another way. But battling her in a Gym Battle? That’s gonna be too hard on her body. It’s gonna kill her more literally. Matthew: Victoria… I get it. She’s dying and you’re sad. Hell. I’m sad about it. But you have to realize 1 thing. She KNOWS she’s dying and she wants to continue doing this. You don’t have the right to stop her. Now if you’ll excuse me- At that point, Victoria threw out a PokeBall and out popped a Pangoro. It blocked my path from the courtyard. I turned around and looked her dead in the eyes. Matthew: Victoria, what in the hell are you doing? This isn’t what’s right to do. Victoria: Well it is to me! If I have to, I’ll battle you myself. Yea. That’s right. If you can't beat me, then there’s no reason for you to even challenge her. Matthew: Victoria… Victoria: Battle me! Now! After I won the battle, we both stood there in silence. Finally, Victoria spoke up. Victoria: This is all for the kids right? Matthew: That’s right. Victoria: They’re more important than her life right? Matthew: Victoria, that’s not what I mean. Victoria: I’m just gonna head out. Victoria sluggishly walked out to the courtyard. Before I went to challenge Kiki, I went to the healing spot that was in the academy. Then I went out to the courtyard. A lot of people were standing on the sidelines, prepared to watch the battle go down. I looked over at Victoria. She just looked like someone ripped every emotion out of her except for depression. Kiki seemed like she was trying to focus on the upcoming battle. Laura was just standing there, eagerly waiting for the battle to start. She looked over and smiled and waved to me. I did the same back. That actually made me feel a bit better but not by much. I walked up to Kiki. Kiki: If you are ready for battle, please take your place on the other side of the battle field. Matthew: Ok. I walked over to the other side and stood there. I grabbed a PokeBall from my belt and waited for the battle to begin. Kiki: Matthew… Let us all see how well your discipline holds you. Victoria: The… The challenger, Matthew, will now face the Gym Leader, Kiki, in a 6 on 6 singles battle. Either side may make substitutions. The battle will end when either 6 of either trainer’s Pokemon are unable to battle… Begin. After the battle ended, everyone that witnessed the battle cheered and clapped. Kiki just returned her last Pokemon back to the PokeBall. Matthew: That was a good battle Kiki. Very tough to beat you. Kiki: I thank you for the compliments. Amudst true focus, your energy shines through. All of your hard work has earned you this. Pr-Proceed, take… Matthew: Are you ok Kiki? Kiki: I’m sorry. Excuse me, I- Kiki went to turn around but as she did, she collapsed onto the ground. Everyone gasped. Victoria, myself and Laura ran over to Kiki and helped her up and also took her back to her room for her to rest. About an hour later, Kiki woke up. Kiki: Ahh… What happened? Victoria: Sensei! You’re awake. Kiki: What happened Victoria? Victoria: You collapsed after your Gym Battle with Matthew. Kiki: Ahh. That’s… unfortunate. Victoria: Just concentrate on your breathing. Like in Beginning Meditation right? Keep it steady. You’re ok. Kiki: Am I? Am I really Victoria? Laura: I know what happened was bad but you don’t- Matthew: Wait Laura. Just let them talk. We have no involvement with this. Kiki: There’s no longer any point of keeping up this facade of serenity. Collapsing in my own courtyard… My reputation… It’s just like glass. It’s all shattered! Victoria: Kiki, nobody could be as strong as you have been through all of this. I mean… Look at everything you’ve done! All the people you’ve made happy and- Kiki: And nothing Victoria. And nothing. I have to be honest with myself. In the end, for astrong as I’ve been, I’m still too weak! Victoria: Please Sensei. You must try to calm down. This isn’t- Kiki: You want me to calm down? How can I? “Defeat the inner chaos?” Did you think I was only talking about zen of the mind? I could be centered to DEAD-ZERO and I will still end up just like that. Victoria: You musn’t think like that Kiki. Kiki: No amount of meditation is going to change the simple fact that my own body… my own body is killing itself! Victoria: Right… I’m… Victoria ran out of the room with her arm covering her face. Me and Laura looked at each other with shocked expressions. She never saw Kiki go off like that and I just never thought she would do that. Kiki sat back down with her eyes closed. Kiki: Matthew. Laura. Please leave me. I wish to be alone right now. Matthew: Yea. Of course. Laura: Alright… Me and Laura got up and exited the room. Victoria was just outside of the room wiping tears away from her eyes. Both me and Laura went up to her and hugged her. Victoria: Thanks you 2… Matthew: No prob. Laura: You’re welcome. Victoria: But wow… I’ve never seen Kiki get upset like that before. Laura: Yea. This is new to me as well. She’s always so calm and collected. That was a bit scary. Victoria: But I’ve also never seen her faint before either. Matthew: Yea. That was uhh… That was a scary situation. Laura: She must be going through a lot. Victoria: I understand if she just needs to rest alone for a while. I’ll try and keep things together, so she can hopefully get better. Laura: What about the machine? Ohh. Sorry. I didn’t mean for that to sound ignorant or anything. Victoria: It’s ok. It didn’t. And don’t worry about that. I’ll be sure to get the machine from her too. As well as your badge Matthew. Matthew: Sweet. Victoria: Although, she doesn’t make it, that badge would be reset. Matthew: Well, it’s not like it would be the 1st time this kind of thing happened… Under the same type of way too unfortunately. Anyways, what are we supposed to do til then? Victoria: Funny you ask that. Something’s been bothering me. Laura: What’s that? Victoria: Wasn’t Cain coming to challenge her as well? Matthew: Yea but… Wait. Everything felt like it froze in time. I was so caught up in all of the stuff that was happening in Apophyll that I totally forgot Cain left 1st to come here to get the machine. But I never saw him anywhere here since I’ve been here. Laura: Who’s Cain? Matthew: He’s a dude who dresses up as a chick and wears all purple stuff. He’s also another 1 of my friends that’s trying to break out our friends but… I haven’t seen him. And I saw him leave on top of his A. Muk to come here to face Kiki! Laura: Th-This sounds like a problem… Victoria: I asked Kiki before. She said he was never here. Matthew: This is really bad. Laura: Maybe he got lost? Victoria: I doubt that. It’s hard to miss a beach this big. Laura: True. Hmm. Hey. Isn’t there a place between here and Coral Ward? Matthew: Hmm? What place? Victoria: Ohh. You mean Azurine Island. Laura: Yea! That place! He might be there. Victoria: That’s a good spot as any to go look for him. Would you go look for him Matthew? He still has the key to the Wasteland after all. Matthew: Yea but that isn’t important right now. I just hope he’s ok. Laura: Don’t worry Matthew. I’m sure he is. Victoria: I’ll take care of Kiki, so don’t you worry about her. Matthew: Right. Then I’ll see you later. Hey Laura? Laura: Yea? Matthew: Are you up on helping me go to Azurine Island and find Cain? Laura: Of course! He’s helping to free my sister and the others after all. Matthew: Great. Let’s get to the boat and put in the destination! Me and Laura bolted out of the academy and towards the boat to go find Cain on Azurine Island. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES
