Phil, Denny, and their Pokemon were very busy.  The campsite had to be packed up, and with odds and ends had managed to scatter everywhere during their stay.

"Matt, quit running off with my bag!"  Denny yelled over his shoulder.

'I didn't take it.'

"I found it Denny, Mary had it.  She was looking for some food."

"Dragging my bag away was uncalled for though."

"I know, but she is excited to finally be leaving the valley.  Have you seen my Bible?"

"Yes, George was reading it enthusiastically, he said it was a good story."

"I better go talk to him."

Phil walked to what had quickly become George's favorite spot, a small, dry cave near the entrance cave.  He stepped inside, peering into the cave for his Gallade.

'Oh, good morning, Phil.  I have been enjoying this story of your book called Bible, I cannot seem to find the author though, who wrote this?'

"No one person wrote this, it is a history book of sorts, it is the story of Israel, and how God sent his son to die on the cross for all our sins."

'That is barmy!  The Arceus, Palkia, and Dialga made the universe.'

"Who created them?"

'Well, legend says Arceus created Palkia and Dialga.'

"Who created Arceus though?"

'No one, he has been here since before the beginning of time.'

"Then why can he die?  We have all studied the legend of how one Arceus died and left behind an egg that hatched into a new Arceus.  If Arceus has existed since before time, why can he die?  The legend does say that Arceus dies every 5,000 years.  The first legend of his death comes from about one millinium ago or 1,000 years ago.  From the legend we know a lot of people have aligning evidence that this event actually happened.  That, along with a pile of other evidence suggests that the world is around 6,000 years old."

'But, the Earth is millions of years old.'

"That is not what believe.  I look at the most convincing evidence, which points to a young Earth.  I won't force you to think like I do, you have the right to you're own belief.  However, it does sadden me how the world has pulled away from God."

'Why did you come in here?'

"We are packing up to leave, come on, I could use an extra pair of hands to put away the tent."

The two left the cave to finish packing the campsite up.  Once the campsite was packed Denny lead Phil to the end of the river.  There, two hangliders were waiting.

"A fun way down!  Come on," Denny informed him.  The pair quickly grabbed onto the gliders, and kicked off.  When they landed, Phil realised that it was only an hour until night fell, and he was not sure how far from town they were.

"Hey, Denny, we should get moving, right?"

"Relax, Phil, the town is only a short walk away.  Just through this small forest."

"Then away we go!"  The pair walked throuhg the forest and reached the town before sunset.

"This is just a small rest stop town, so don't plan on being here long, Phil."

"Don't worry.  I want to get a move on to the next gym quickly."

The two then decided to let their Pokemon out, and, as a group, they walked into the small town of Napole.  Reaching the Pokemon Center, Phil realized something.  He had not had proper battle in months.

"Denny, I'm going to see if I can find a sparring partner."

"Okay, see you in a little while."

Phil went and looked for a partner to spar with.  That is when he saw a proud looking Henry.

"Hey, Phil, what took you so long to get here?"

"I stopped to train for a while."

"No way are you as good as me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Let's find out!"

Phil and Henry  walked out to the town arena.  It was rather small, but the wait line to have a battle was non-existent, so it didn't really matter.  The two teens faced each other, ready to battle.

"How many?"  Phil inquired.

"Double battle, four on four.  Tyler!  Chase!  I call on you!"

"Jes, Blazer, my dynamic duo!"

The four Pokemon appeared on the field.  Phil's Luxio and Arcanine stared down a Charmeleon and a Tyrunt.  Phil was a little taken aback at the fossil Pokemon, but quickly regained his posture.  However, he then realized that Blazer was largely useless.

"Blazer, Bite on that Tyrunt!  Jes, Spark on the Charmeleon!"

"Tyler, match it!  Chase, counter with Dragon Rage!"

Blazer and Tyler latched onto each others necks.  It was clear that the Tyrunt had more raw power and Blazer more experience.  Jes collided with Chase's attack head-on.  It slowed him enough that his Spark attack did significantly less damage, not to mention the damage he took.

"Jes, take a step back, keep your eyes peeled for an incoming attack.  Blazer, keep pushing!"

"Tyler, I know you can do it buddy!"

The two Pokemon continued their Bite battle.  When, suddenly, Blazer's attack seemed to intensify.

"Good job, Blazer!  Keep it up!"

Blazer and Tyler struggled with each other, until they both broke free.  Panting, they stared each other down.  Their intense staring contest was, however, interrupted by a sudden shout from Chase.  Jes, seeing that his opponent had become distracted, and had taken the opportunity to launch an attack.

"Excellent work, Jes."

'Thanks, now, attack!'

"You silly Pokemon.  Alright, Blazer, finish off the opponents with Flamethrower!"

Blazer let lose a powerful jet of flame.  Although it wasn't very effective, both opponents keeled over once the attack swiped through them.

"You guys take a rest.  Geo take the stage, Angela, Earthquake!"

The sudden attack from Henry's Gligar was enough to startle Phil, and his Pokemon also.  Jes keeled over, unable to continue.  Geo then sent a quick blast from Water Gun at Blazer, who then stumbled, trying to stay up.

"Blazer, you've had enough, return.  Jes, return.  George, Mary, finish this!"

Mary's rare coloration clearly caught Henry off guard, he stumbled and stammered for a moment.  Unfortunately, George wasted their chance.

'Hello my lady, I'll help you fight,' George told the smaller Pokemon.

'Of course you will, Phil told you too, and I am just a strong as you.'

"Quit fighting.  Mary, Ice Beam.  George, Leaf Blade."

"Bite! Acrobatics!"

Geo used Bite to grab George's arm, and Angela began swooping about trying to dodge the Ice Beam.

"You've got two arms for a reason George!"

'Oh, I'm blooming barmy.' George replied, as he attack Geo with his other arm.

Mary was struggling to hit the Angela.  However, she finally landed a blow, and the Gligar came tumbling down.  Angela was very clearly unconcious so Henry returned her, yet, George had just taken a Water Gun to the face.  As he tried to spit up the water, Geo landed another Bite, and George collapsed.  Mary and Geo turned to face each other.  Both trainers called for a Water Gun, but Geo quickly overpowered Mary, sending her flying.  When she landed, Mary immediatly stood, determined to win.  A blinding light lit the arena like an Olympic torch, and where a Mudkip once stood, there now stood a Marshtomp.

Phil felt his Pokedex bleep, and when he pulled it out, it informed him that Mary had learned Mud Shot.  Smiling Phil turned to his Pokemon, "Mary, us Mud Shot!"

Mary smiled back and turned to launch her attack.  Geo, still reeling from the bright light, took the attack head-on and collapsed.  Mary walked over to Phil and fell ontop of him.

"Good job girl.  Let's get you rested."

Phil took his Pokemon to the Pokemon Center and handed them over to the nurse.  He decided to go for a walk with his remaining Pokemon.  Releasing Evie and Craig, Phil began walking around downtown.  However, he was interrupted mid-walk by a loud alarm.  Slipping into invisibility, Phil sped off towards the alarm.  He saw a couple of goons with mini-machine guns standing over the bank's customers.  He slipped through the door, and knocked the first one out easily.  The second one was a little brighter though.  He simply blasted the whole wall Phil had just been in front of.  Circling around, Phil knocked the second man out.

"What's going on up here?" a third man walked up from the vaults.  Phil knocked him out too, and then slipped out of the building.  However, he had noticed something that bothered him.  The men had been wearing the Team Dominantion emblem.  Determined to find out more, Phil told Denny what had happened and they decided to stick around for a little longer.

---Team Domination HQ---

"What do you mean they failed?"

"The security footage doesn't show anything.  It looks like air knocked our operatives."

"So, the mystery Aura Guardian strikes again.  Be sure everything at base A113 is secure."

"Of course, Father."
