I wake up to a slowly brightening sky. I sit up and look around. I see Dawn out of the corner of my eye. She's changing, but I can still see her. I immediately flush red. She's in her panties. Luckily, they're a new pair, so she puts on her clothes. I stand up and get changed too. Uxie and Mesprit are sleeping together. Piplup is just starting to wake along with Starly. Ralts and Chimchar are still sleeping. When I walk out, I'm calmed down. Dawn smiles at me. "Good morning, sleepyhead," she says.

I am about to reply when I hear a rustling in the bushes. I immediately take a blanket and cover the Legendary Pokémon. Two young men walk into our campsite. One is wearing a black tanktop and blue jeans with two pockets on the front. He has blonde and mildly red hair. The other is wearing a black hat with a horizontal white stripe with two 'ears' on it. He is wearing a black sweater with an orange vest. He has brown pants and is wearing brown fingerless gloves. "Trudly," the man without a hat says to the other. "Seems we got separated from the boss again."

Trudly looks around, not noticing us. "It seems that way Folly."

Folly takes notice of us. "Look, trainers."

They smile and walk to us. "Hey! It's time to give up your pokémon to us!" Trudly says.

I sigh. "No."

Dawn and I cross our arms and I send out Piplup, who is fully awake. Dawn sends out Ralts, who woke up when she sensed their bad intentions. I smirk to try and frighten them, but they just laugh. I hear beeping by the men. "Our boss is here, and he's going to take care of you two."

I hear funky music start playing as a tall and slender man with a red and white afro moonwalks out from the woods. He is bare-chested and is wearing an open purple jacket as well as purple pants. He is wearing yellow heels, a yellow scarf, and sunglasses. He spins around to the beat. "Alright, alright!" he says, turning to us. "Stop the music!"

Folly presses a button on his Pokétch and the disco music stops. "So, I hear you two aren't willing to hand over your precious pokémon for our cause," the man says.

I look at Dawn and give her a look saying, 'Is this guy for real?' Dawn shrugs. "Hey! Pay attention."

He steps forward. "Now you're going to hand over your pokémon, or we will take them by force."

"We're not giving them up, especially to you," Dawn says.

"Alright then, but beware as I am a strong trainer. Behold the awesome power of Miror B.!"

Miror B. points his hand in the air and music starts playing again.

[Song: Miror B. Battle]

Miror B. sends out two Lombres. Dawn sticks with Chimchar, but I switch to Starly. The men in front of us smile. "Lombre, use Rain Dance!"

One of the Lombre dances, causing a small cloud to appear above the battlefield. The Lombres smile as they start to move quicker. "Chimchar, use Ember!"

Chimchar breathes out small balls of fire. "Use Water Gun," Miror B. says, smiling.

The other Lombre shoots a stream of water at the fire, dissipating it. The water goes on to hit Chimchar, inflicting massive damage. "Starly, Wing Attack!"

Starly flies forward and makes his wings glow white. "Starly!" he yells, hitting one of the Lombres inflicting lots of damage.

Miror B. takes no notice, as he is dancing to the beat of the music. I feel my body starting to move as I get into the groove of the moment. Dawn seems to be starting to dance as well. "Chimchar, get close then use Scratch."

Chimchar jumps forward and scratches Lombre to the beat. Lombre is slowly losing health. "Water Gun!"

Both Lombres fire their Water type attacks at each of our pokémon. Chimchar flies into a tree and crashes to the ground, knocked out. Starly gets knocked out of the air and crashes onto the Legendary Pokémon, knocked out as well. I gasp as I realize how strong this guy is. Uxie and Mesprit rise out from under the blanket, enraged. Team Miror gasps as the Legendary Pokémon float in front of us and start to battle. "Uxie, Psychic!"
