As the siblings came closer to Ever Grande City, Ashura could feel a sense of familiarity. He could remember the old days when he was just a young, naïve kid, fighting for a simple title that meant nothing for the world at large. Still, it was nice to have no other worries, just a burning desire to win with a denseness that was legendary even to Arceus. Ashura sighed to nostalgia as he angled his body downward to an unoccupied patch of shore where they could set down. Ignorance was bliss.

The two Pokémon landed, out of sight of any human. Before Ashura could transform back to human, Olivia grabbed his right paw and said, "Ash, we haven't spent much time together like this and we're early by an hour. Let's stay and have some fun."

Ashura smiled at his sister's statement. He really liked staying in his Equlipso form and he was early...

"All right, sis, you win. How about we play a game? Since I had to race after you the entire time here... TAG, YOU'RE IT!" Ashura poked Olivia's wing and flew away from his now annoyed sister.

"Get back here, idiot!" Olivia growled as she raced after Ashura, intent on making him pay for his little stunt. However, it was in vain. Ashura's bigger body allowed for more speed and endurance, and an hour later, a tired Olivia was enduring her brother's mocking laughter in a small clearing.

"Oh come on, Livi, you have to admit that was fun! You were just too small to keep up!" Ashura instantly shut his mouth as he realized what he said, but it was too late to save him from a woman scorned.

"SMALL! I'LL SHOW YOU SMALL!" Olivia yelled as she tackled Ashura, sending them both to the ground. They wrestled for some time, ruffling their feathers and fur and causing Olivia's wings and Ashura's fur to catch the dirt from the dirty ground. After five minutes, they stopped their playful wrestling, both tired and dirty.

"Well, I haven't had that much fun in some time. Thank you sis. We really should do that more often," Ashura admitted.

"Well, I'm glad that I did something right" Olivia said smugly. "We better get going, you need to register for the seminar."

Ashura nodded as they both turned back human. Ashura was wearing another outfit of his prince of champions clothing, exactly like what he was wearing when he received Scott's letter. As they began to walk to the pokemon center, Ashura briefly took the time to look over his sister's beautiful human form, he had to protect her from any perverts around.

She had shoulder length, wavy black hair with red streaks, the same color as her feathers. She still had her deep sky blue eyes, and a very shapely body, that still was slightly immature, she had light tan skin . She wore a black tank top and blue jean shorts as well as a small eclipse symbol pendant around her neck.

Nurse Joy sighed as she watched another contestant apply for the top 128 challenge. She seriously was not impressed by the quality of trainers that had applied. Ever since she had taken a tour of duty outside the seven Regions, her opinion on quality trainers had drastically changed. What she previously thought of as fantastic was now average or even below average. In fact, her sister could probably crush or at least severely batter several of the applied contestants, provided that she used her Latias that she trained slightly outside of the seven Regions. What had gotten in Mr. Goodshow to invite them?

Her thoughts were interrupted as someone approached her desk, obviously wanting to apply for the tournament. Nurse Joy sighed as she turned to face the contestant, expecting yet another dunderhead. When she saw him, she couldn't be more wrong.
