Light Into Darkness

Chapter 4: Beware of Lucario

Beware of Lucario!

In the trainer's waiting room stood the three champions of Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Steven was sitting on the bench trying to psyche himself up for one of the toughest battle he could ever face in his life. Lance and Cynthia were standing by his side also trying to psyche themselves up.

"Steven, be careful of this King" the dragon trainer said. "This man seems extremely dangerous. I'm sure that all the rumors about him are all true."

"Don't worry. I'm going to wipe the floor with the guy" the Hoenn Champion said while pumping his fist. "I'll make sure he remembers the name, Steven Stone!"

"Calm down, Champ" Cynthia said sweatdropping. "Be extremely careful. I can sense a foul, dark aura around him. Anyways, we weren't sent here to battle him in first place, remember. It's a cover up so we could study him."

"Yeah, Cynthia is right" Lance said. "If he is who we think he is this could be big trouble."

"Thanks for the advice" Steven said getting up from his seat and entering the elevator. "But I'm still going to win." The elevator doors closed leaving two worried champions.

"Do you think that Steven will win?" the blonde beauty asked.

"I don't know. Heck, I don't even know if I could beat King" Lance said while clenching his fist. "But I do know if he is the guy that we're looking for he has to be brought to justice." The woman nodded.

In the cloaked leader's room which was personally made for him stood the auburn eyed man standing their calmly with a pokeball in his hand.

"I wonder if these so called champions can make me feel alive" the cloaked leader of Organization Omni wondered aloud while gripping the pokeball in his hand. "Either way they will lose like the others." The auburn eyed man walked toward his personal elevator with feelings of anticipation and excitement.

"This arena is awesome!" shouted the young boy with glasses. The arena was enormous; it was almost bigger than the stadiums at the Indigo Plateau. The field was a large and round with a pokeball symbol in the center. Directly above the battlefield was a four sided, large TV screen with the beloved King picture on in and Steven.

"When will the battle start?" the blue haired coordinator asked. Suddenly, the lights in the stadiums turned off leaving only the lights on the battlefield on. "I guess it's starting."

Two circles opened on each side of the battlefield, and then two capsules like elevators came out. The capsule like elevator on the left was the first to open up; steam came out of it and then a man in a suit. Everybody in the stadium cheered.

"People of Sasado City! The name is Steven Stone and I'm going to win!" Some people cheered, but some of them booed at the overconfident trainer thinking that he could beat their savior, King.

"Man! These people must hate anybody who think that they can beat, King" the breeder said, and then looking at the little girl by him.

"Boo, you stink! King is going beat the crap out of you!" Lisa yelled. Our heroes sweatdropped.

Suddenly, the capsule like elevator on the right opened revealing the cloaked trainer. The stadium shook in an uproar. The cheering was so loud that even an army of Exploud couldn't overcome. The cloaked trainer walked out of elevator and locked eyes with Steven.

"Oh my Mew! King is the sexiest man alive!" Lisa yelled with her hands cupped on her cheeks. Our heroes sweatdropped some more.

"Are you ready!" the announcer yelled. The crowd stood on their feet and cheered. "This will be a one on one battle! Who will win our unbeaten, beloved King or Steven Stone the Hoenn Champion!?"
