Calvin stood in the Eterna City gym, mind lost in thought.

Many Citizens had shuttled inside the Eterna City gym, for obvious reasons, considering how well-protected the gym is.

"What did he mean?"

Calvin's brain was fried, he wanted to know, he wanted to know what the hell Nick was talking about.

He pulled out a pack of chewing gum, before taking one out, and after taking off the wrapper, flicked it into his mouth.

Calvin couldn't help but feel immense frustration, he wanted to know, if they were going to be rivals, he wanted to know at least something important about him.

He continued to chew the gum, sighing as he did so, he used some potions to heal up his Pokemon, and he also bought more, just in case.

As he was lost in thought, his mind drifted over to the fight he had with that member, he managed to squeeze out a win, but he had to use a "Secret" technique, a part of him was kind of glad Nick left, due to him being able to use his "Secret" technique.

Calvin have never felt such emotions before, ever since he started his journey, he was confident, energetic, and eccentric...

Yet, for the first time, he felt turmoil, he felt like he was staring at a brick wall he could never penetrate.

"Nick, I'm sorry..."

"But I can't just stand still and dwindle!"

He exited the gym and ran.

X/X/X/X/X//X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/XX/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/XX/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X//X/X?x?/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X//X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X/X//X/XX//

Nick rubbed his eyes, sighing.

He stole some super potions from the dude he beat up, and also did some threatening, and now his The Pokemon was in good condition.

"Bellator, Sicarius." Nick whispered as he released the two Pokemon, who appeared in a flash of light.

"Sicarius, keep on guard." Nick explained, "Bellator if you sense anything approach us, warn me and Sicarius."

"Sicarius, I will probably have you scout out the aggressor, so be prepared," Nick said, "Let's go."

Nick walked through the outskirts of Eterna city, eventually arriving at the main city.

"This place is messed up..."

In the short time, he had left the city, somehow things escalated so quickly...

"What the hell happened here?!"

Suddenly, Nick's eyes widened...

Gardenia stood on her massive Torterra, roaring with might.

In front of her...

Was a Garchomp.

The two mighty Pokemon roared with power, the Garchomp charged with power, it was relatively small compared to adult males, so it was very clearly newly evolved.

"What..."

Suddenly, a wave of rocks was hurled at him, he narrowly dodged the sudden attack, Bellator also helped by shooting down some of the boulders with a clean Psybeam.

Sicarius readied for battle, but Nick ordered her to follow him, and they all retreated behind a building.

"That Garchomp isn't an opponent we are remotely close to beating." Nick said, "Fighting it will be the same as committing suicide, our chances of winning are slim."
