As Corvus is walking down his way to the Ultimate Tournament, Cynthia tapped his shoulder, he turn around and saw no one but felt another tap on his left shoulder. He grunted and turn to his shoulder again, but finds nothing again.

"Birdy!"

"Gah!" Corvus send a jab to Cynthia's face who she managed to block it. "Cynthia, you bastard..."

"Sorry, I was messing with ya." She apologized, throwing her arm around his shoulders.

"It's not funny."

"It is to me."

"You're not helping my mood..."

"A kiss to the cheek?"

He blushed and look at Cynthia with wide eyes, she is wiggling her eyebrows, a wide shit eating grin plastered on her face. Corvus' face turn bright red, as he pushed the blonde beauty away.

"Stop..."

Suddenly, his power kick in again, as they watched as a large pole falls down, time seemed stop for both Champions, Corvus just stood there with a regretful smile on his face.

"Oh, sh—"

"Oh, sh—"

"—... it sucks, huh?" Kalaven asked, the three Kanto Elite Four looking at the depressed Corvus, and a shaking Cynthia.

"Yeah, it look pretty painful back there. Taking the impact for yourself..." White said, Corvus let out a heavy sigh, pulling out his flask and sip it.

"Also, we have been meaning to ask you."

"Yeah?"

The atmosphere changed into tense and serious.

"Why do you always drink, and stay away from people? Did... something happened?" Scarlet asked, they look at the Kanto Champion. Corvus closed his flask, putting it away and look at his Pokédex. 'Only forty minutes left... Guess I should tell them...'

"*Sigh* Look, it's a long story, okay?" He said, getting up from the hotel bed.

"Corvus, tell them. You know you can't hide away this from everyone else that long." Cynthia said, Corvus look out the window in silence, before speaking.

"Did you know that a Crow is a sign of bad luck? It's how I got my name when I was betrayed." Corvus approach the table, as he look at it for a second, before poking one of the table's legs with his finger. "See, I was one of those people who are born with power, some can generate energy and use it as weapons, flight and defense and some people can manipulate fire. My power isn't like most of them, it's not exactly something I do. It's always there, it has no control, no brakes, always activate. I bring misfortune. And, I can transform into a Crow."

Their eyes widened in surprise, as Corvus bitterly chuckled. "I guess you could call me a bad luck charm. Comes in real handy when I'm fighting my opponent and Pokémon battle, but it makes it harder for friends," He look at Cynthia, smiling a little. "and the people I loved." Cynthia blushed when she realized he meant her, as Corvus walk out of the room.

"C'mon, we only got thirty-five minutes before the tournament starts." Corvus said, and once he closed the door, one of the table's leg broke and it collapsed, surprising them.
