A Champion in a Twisted World

Chapter 16 - Acception into the College

A/N: I found this song and I love it. I now bless all of you with it.

--------

You and your group (Chien-Pao having reluctantly went back in their Pokéball) burst back into the Mirror Chamber, you and Deuce holding the Magestone above your head.

Perfectly enough, Crowley was actually standing in the Mirror Chamber. He gives your group a bewildered look when he sees you all sitting on a derpy Koraidon and holding a Magestone in the air.

"Pardon? You're telling me you actually went to the Dwarf's Mine in search of a Magestone?"

"Yeah." You, Ace, and Deuce say in sync.

The Headmage brings a hand to his face, shaking his head in disbelief. "I didn't expect that you'd seriously do it. And never in my wildest imaginings did I think you'd seriously do it! And here I spent all evening preparing your expulsion documents."

"...way to show confidence in us, Headmage." You say sarcastically, not bothering to hide your frustration.

"Are you serious!?" Grim yowls a bit as he clambers up onto Koraidon's head. "While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?"

Crowley tilts his head. "Monster?"

"Yeah. There was a monster, all right! A big, nasty one. It nearly killed us!" Ace responds, looking just as annoyed as you.

"Would you kindly relate this story in full?"

--------

Your group (Koraidon going back in their Pokéball since they're a bit big and a little tuckered out from running around all night) now stands in front of Crowley from where he sits behind his desk in his office. Behind the desk is seven floating portraits which you guess is the Great Seven.

You, Deuce, and Ace finish recounting the story, Grim occasionally trying to take more claim for the events and pretending he wasn't scared most of the time. Crowley puts a hand to his chin.

"Hmmm... So a mysterious monster was living in the mines. And the four of you worked together to destroy it, and then brought its magestone back to me?" He gave you all inquisitive looks.

"I don't think I'd call it "working together"." Ace disputed as he rubs the back of his head.

Deuce nods in agreement with Ace. "It was more like we just happened to share the same goal at the same time."

You and Moonstone roll your eyes at the boys in sync. "Ignore them, Headmage," You say with an amused smile, "They just don't like to pretend they're probably friends- sir? Sir are you okay?"

You give Crowley a concerned look as the presumably much older man bursts into tears for seemingly no reason.

People here are so weird... and you're friends with the girl who's terrified of almost all Pokémon who are larger than 31 centimeters and is somehow the champion of Unova. She's nice, and you like her, but how is Grey even the champion of the region?

Oh wait, she did kinda save the world from Team Plasma. Reasonable, now that you remember it.

Wait, Crowley's still crying for no reason.

"Oh, gracious! Ohhhhh... ohhhhhhh!" You look at the other boys for help, feeling concerned about Crowley kinda just crying for no reason. Even the others look startled.

"What's this guy's deal? Burstin' into tears in public? At this age?" Grim crosses his arms from where he stands on your shoulders and leans on your head.
