Chapter 13

Triple Threat

The Hoenn Region the place where top coordinators could be found. Everywhere you look you kind find great beauty, but now the Hoenn Region has begun to lose its radiance. The cause of this comes from none other than Organization Omni. There first strike was the luxurious, Lilycove City. The city that was known of having the largest shopping mall in the Hoenn Region was ablaze. The Omni Grunts came by sea and attacked the glorious city. Battles were everywhere. Attack names and Pokemon names could be heard echoing throughout the city. Near the contest hall stood a figure with silver hair wearing a tuxedo. By his side was a large blue spider-like Pokemon and in front of them were a small army of Omni Grunts and their Pokemon.

"Metagross, Psychic!" the Hoenn Champion commanded. The spider-like Pokemon's red eyes glowed blue and lifted several Pokemon into the air. The Omni Grunts gasped. "Slam them!" Metagross roared its name and used its psychic power to slam the Pokemon into the ground creating a large cloud of dust. The dust settled revealing the small army of Pokemon in a crater with swirls for eyes. The Omni Grunts collapsed to the ground. "This is becoming very repetitive. Each time I take an Omni Grunts two take their places."

"How about you take me on for size?" a figure asked. "Or are you afraid?" Steven froze in his tracks. He frantically looked for where the voice had come from.

"Metagross!" the blue Pokemon shouted to its trainer. The Hoenn Champion looked behind himself and saw a caped Omni Grunt on top of the contest hall building. The cape wearing Omni Grunt jumped off the building and landed a couple feet away from the silver haired champion.

"Now how about it?" the caped Omni Grunt said. "I'm sure I can be a worthy opponent for a trainer like you." The Hoenn Champion looked at the new Omni Grunt. The first thing he noticed was the long, flowing cape.

'Just like Jimmy' Steven thought. 'This guy must be a high ranking Omni Grunt.' The silver haired champion smirked. "Finally, maybe you can prove to be a much better challenge, then the others. I accept your battle." The cape wearing Omni Grunt laughed.

"Ha! You really think you can beat me!" the caped Omni Grunt shouted. "I am one of his majesty's captains. There is no way you can beat me!"

"We'll see for ourselves" Steven said. "Now what are your terms for the battle?"

"This will be a two on two battle" the caped wearing Omni Grunt stated. "First one to lose both of their Pokemon loses the match." Steven nodded and let his psychic/steel type Pokemon float to the battlefield. The cape wearing Omni Grunt took out his pokeball and threw it onto the field. "Go pokeball!" The pokeball released a wild light revealing a brown Pokemon with long white hair. Its hands were like twigs with three leaves coming from it.

"Shiftry!" it shouted its name.

"Before this battle begins. I will show you the face of the person that will defeat you." The cape wearing Omni Grunt took off his silver helmet revealing his snow colored hair. Steven's eyes widened. The caped wearing Omni Grunt's blue shaded eyes locked with the Hoenn Champion.

"Brendan?" Steven uttered out. He couldn't believe that Ash has recruited such a powerful trainer into his ranks. The last time he met the snow color haired trainer was in the finals of the Hoenn League Championship. It was a long grueling battle, but he was able to retain his champion title. Steven let out a long sigh. "This just got interesting."

"Now, prepare for battle!" Brendan shouted, while pumping his fist. "Shiftry, Razor Wind!" The brown Pokemon jumped into the air with its leaves emitting a bright, white color. The grass/dark type whipped its arms and released a boomerang-like blast from its leaves towards the spider-like Pokemon.
