The inside of the crystal den was the same as the others, blinding them as they entered. Once the light settled, the team were greeted to the usual theatre setup. The walls didn't display any reflections, and were presently black. The wind had stopped in here, yet Kayla couldn't help shiver. There was a monster here, and if it was anything like Zude's thing, she didn't want to face it.
Pola soon stopped and held out her paw. "We need to go up together this time."
"Is the paw holding necessary?" Shannon rolled his eyes.
"It's just so we do it in sync. I'm not that pathetic," she spat. He grumbled but obeyed, and the duo stepped up to the stage, leaving the others below.
"By the way... you're gonna tell us why you keep ignoring Shannon, aren't you?" Kayla glanced at May.
"You chose now to inquire about that?" the Pichu replied.
"Well, we're about to do a tough battle. I just wanna make sure you can fight alongside him."
"You've forgotten that I'm not a member of Team Daybreak. I couldn't fight alongside you safely to begin with," May shrugged. "So you needn't worry. I'll be out of your way in this conflict."
"That doesn't really answer the question, but then what do you call the Zude battle?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Eyes open. It seems the performance is starting," May tucked her arms behind her back.
A pillar of light slammed down from above onto Pola and Shannon, engulfing them in a blast of light that exploded across the whole area. The others only had time to twist and shield their eyes, but the light turned out to be harmless. Once it faded, they found themselves in a world familiar to Kayla. They were all on the same smooth, brown, and glossy crystal floor. Surrounding them on all sides were swirls and lightning patterns, all of which animated individually from each other and slowly scrolled around them. It was a world of battle.
Another pillar of light came down, this one much larger, but coated in similar energy to what was on the crystal den: swirls of purple and electrical sparks. Pola and Shannon ran back to the team, while everyone posed for battle.
When the pillar cleared, in its place was a quadruped creature that towered over the whole group. It was smooth, dog-like, or perhaps more fox-like, with rounded paws and a hulking figure. It had two tails, one bushy plume of fur with a longer, thinner tail sticking out of it, adorned with spikes and fish fins at the tip. This monster's defining feature was its heads, however. Three heads belonging to three different Eeveelutions, neck and all - the centre head was a Flareon, the left head was a Vaporeon, while the right head was a Jolteon. These heads ignored all the other features of the monster to resemble each Pokémon as normally as possible.
