Chapter 6: New member?

Main Pokemon center

Coffee and drinks section

After discovering that they share similar interests the young scientist and trainer were having a heart to heart in the famous drink shop of the Passio region's main Pokemon center.

"A human experiment?" Neil said as he sips down a raspberry float in a glass.

"That's right, both myself and twin sister that's why we're here looking for our dad, so we can ask him the reason behind our birth" Nick said while holding a can of lemonade

"Aether is really shady, they let a guy like that into their labs, well I hope you find him, also you said something about Aura?" Neil asked.

"That's right, the ability some humans have that help them strengthen their Pokemon, I have a fair amount of control over it, but it's hard" Nick explained.

"To tell you the truth it seems I'm in a similar situation which such aura experience" Neil added.

"Yah me too! I just feel swoossssh Everytime I use it!" An unexpected Ash pops into the conversation.

"Ash?! Aren't you supposed to be registering for the tournament with Goh and Chloe?" Neil asked pissed.

"Buuuu, that's boring, they'll do it for me besides they were talking about the rules with big words" Ash says feeling down.

"I'm also stomped on the rules, since we couldn't register yet, mind explaining them with easier words neil" Nick asked.

"Well, the whole deal with the tournaments is that their 3 v 3s, 3 people only using 1 Pokemon to battle, you win when they other team's Pokemon have all fainted, also the most important part is teamwork and roles members play, Striker- attacks the most, Support- heals and defends, Tech- hinders the other team with burns, poison and other status affects" Neil explains.

"You explained that like a pro! You should be a teacher Neil!" Ash compliments him.

"I am a professor....." Neil's face goes blank.

"Still before the line ups are decided we need a 3rd member" Neil says with a sad tone.

"Well in that case, I asked around and someone like us without a team was supposed to come here looking, so keep your eyes peeled" Neil comns his purple hair back and smiles.

Neil, Ash and Nick Waiting silence for about 5 mins before 'Boommmmm!'.

"What was that?!!" Ash and several others rush out of the center to investigate the sound.

"Wait up!" Nick pleds as he also starts rushing leaving Neil behind with the drinks.

"Sigh guess I'll go too..." Neil attempt to stand up, but is stopped by a green haired girl with an angry expression on her face.

"Trinnia here! Um sir the check" she says with veins on her cheeks.

Neil starts to sweat bullets at the sight of Trinnia's fury.

Outside of the center

A battle is taking place surrounded by a crowd of people, it's between a black belt karate master wearing a white gi and a foreign looking traveler with a big bag, his wearing a brown track suit and a red baseball cap covering his marron hair.

The black belt's Pokemon was a machoke, a humanoid pokemon with veins coming out of it's blue skin.

The foreigner kicks the ground a bit with his big black boots commanding his Pokemon to charge up power, his partner was an Infernape an orange monkey Pokemon with white fur and golden bands around it's body but it's main feature was the crown of fire erupting from it's head.

Ash observes the battle with Nick next to him, "Wow! Infernape vs Machoke!" He starts to fanboy out. While Nick notices something off.

"Machoke finish this punk off body slam!" The black belt yells.

"Maccccch!" The muscular beast shouts and jumps over the  monkey ready to squash it.

"Stand your ground Infernape, get ready to catch it" the foreigner says calmly as he puts his hands into his pockets.

The crowd all felt like he was crazy but Nick and Ash could sense something.

A red steam came from the foreigner and entered the monkey, "This guy's got Aura too?" Ash questioned Nick. "At this point aura users keep popping up like rabbits" Nick said laughing a bit.

As Machoke was about to land on the monkey, Infernape caught it with it's hands "Nani(what)!" The black belt shouted.

"Overheat!!!" The foreigner shouted and Infernape's entire body exploded into a ball of flames knocking out the muscle monster.

The smoke cleared showing the fainted Machoke on the ground while the monkey stood up with steam coming off it's body.

"No my Machoke!!!" The black belt cries.

"Guess I win, good job as always Infernape!" The foreigner returns his Pokemon to it's ball smiles and walks into the crowd however.

As the crowd let's up he stares at Ash and Nick who we're looking at him the same way.

"Are you perhaps a Neil person who said you needed another team member?" The foreigner asked Ash.

Before he could answer the real Neil comes from the door, "That would be me!" He says with a red hand mark on the right side of his cheek.

Main Pokemon center

Registration section

"Nice to meet you all, my name is Leonardo, Leo for short from the Orbitus region (northern regions)" Leo smiles and rubs his head(main character from Pokemon Gaia)

"Wow seriously I'm also from the northern regions too! The Tunod region to be exact, I'm Nicholas, Nick for Short as well" Nick shakes his hand vigorously.(main character from Pokemon Glazed)

"Yah I'm a northern too, from the Ivara region, professor Neil" Neil says as he writes down the team details and hands it to the receptionist (main character of Pokemon mega power)

"Alright, give me second please" the receptionist Trista says smiling, she has red hair and is wearing a red and white dress and cap, (she's a lot nicer than Trinnia) Neil thought to himself.

"Welcome to the Master's league team Horizon!" Trista says and hands all 3 of them red and blue smart phones.

"Master's league?" Neil asked and Trista points to the flat screen TV in the waiting area

Rosa once again makes an appearance with a man and woman wearing suits, both have dark Blue hair and are sitting on a deck in a big office "well the battle managers Scott and Bettie have a new Announcement for all trainers in the Passio region so listen up!" Rosa says full of energy.

"That's right, the winning team of the intro tournament will also get a Master badge, getting 5 of these will allow the team to enter the Passio masters league (PML) where the winners will receive a cash prize of 1 million pokken, as well as the title of master trainer" the man Scott explains the new rules.

"Only 32 teams can enter the PML so it's a race to see which team can get 5 badges first, well be contacting teams on their new Poryphones whenever a new tournament is decided and hosted by a champion, elite four member or gym leader" this time the woman Bettie said it.

"Remember to have fun! Let's Pokemon battle!" Both Scott and Bettie say this at the same time.

All 3 guys look anxious after seeing that.

"Master's league....." Nick mutters.

"Only 32 teams out of more than a 100" Neil says while gulping some spit.

"1 million pokken..." Leo also stress's over this.

"Alright I'm so pumped up I'm going to win and get that title of master trainer!" Ash shouts making all the other trainers look at him like a mad man.

Goh quickly covers his mouth and Chloe increases the volume of the TV to attract attention.

"Seriously Ash stop saying stuff like that! You'll make tons of enemies" Goh tells him furiously.

"I was just being honest" Ash says cluelessly.

Chloe approaches him and slaps his head to his disdain.

Watching that scene the 3 guys calm down a bit

"So since all 3 of us have this Aura power you talked about we better start training to master them" Leo suggest.

"That's true also what's your goal Leo, as a trainer?" Nick asked nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Leo said confused.

"Like my goal is becoming a Pokemon master, and finding my Dad, Neil's is to give Mega evolution to all Pokemon, so what's yours" Nick asked again, this time Neil paid close attention to Leo's response.

"Hahahaha, I'm just doing it for fun that's all" Leo said with a dry laugh

This was obviously a lie but both Nick and Neil decided to leave it as that for now at least.

"Alright trainers teams competing have been decided" Trista Announced and turned presented the list to the TV screen.

Intro tournament teams hosted by Scott and Bettie

1. Team Akala(Kiawe's team)

2. Team Ecilpse

3. Team Cherry blossom [sakuragi] (Ash's team)

4. Team Darkstar

5. Team Goth

6. Team Normie

7. Team Earth (Misty's team)

8. Team Horizon (Nick and Neil's team)

It seemed both Ash's team and Nick's team where there.

"Alright!!!! We made it in" Ash shouted happily

"And Red's team didn't, we might actually stand a chance now" Goh exhaled.

"That sounded so cowardly Goh" Chloe complained.

"Nice we made it!" Nick yelled happily.

"That's pretty good, I wonder who we'll be up against?" Leo smiled arrogantly for some reason.

"Yah I wonder?....." Neil tensed up, he had a bad feeling about the line up.

Far away on another island

Training area

A dark brown dojo stood apart from the others due to the amount of energy being released from it.

A man with a blue and red suit tying a yellow scarf around his neck was dosing off while a woman wearing a skintight yellow dress like a super model with iron headphones on was training her Pokemon an electric flying squirrel to attack multiple wooden dummies at once.

Then came running a dark skinned girl with wild purple hair wearing a pink and purple native shirt and long black spats shouting, "Grimsly, Elisa, Grimsly, Elisa!".

"What is now Iris?" the super model looking woman Elisa asked while the man Grimsly countined to sleep.

"Our team! Team Darkstar! We qualified for the tournament!!!" Iris happily jumped up and down while giving the news.

"That's indeed wonderful news I can't wait until people see my dazzling Nimbasa city moves out there!" Elisa said as if she was sparkling.

All of a sudden Grimsly stood up from his sleep with a creepy smile on, "I was enjoying my sleep but this development is interesting" he said while rubbing his spiky dark blue hair.

"Easy money, we'll also be able to show the strength of the Unova region as well" The grim reaper looking man said as he flipped a golden coin.

Iris and Elisa siding with him as he looked onward to the next frontier.

That's what tournaments are all about, Iris has made a return (she's kinda different from her anime counter part tho) next time the tournament starts!
