Champion's Tournament
...---...---...---...---...

The next morning...

The Avengers are downstairs eating breakfast with the pokemon and are planning out their whole day. A knock is heard on the door. Tony walks over and answers it. Standing before him is a beautiful long blonde haired woman wearing a light blue shirt and black pants. In her hair are 4, 2 on each side, black teardrop-shaped objects conjoined with a pale yellow stripe. She looks shocked to see him.

"Well hello beautiful," Tony says suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Who the hell are you!?" the woman yells pointing an accusing finger.

"I'm Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, owner of Stark Industries, etc," Tony says. "And you?"

"Cynthia, former champion, and here for Miranda, the new champion," Cynthia says.

"Miranda? She's not even up yet," Tony says.

"What!?" Cynthia yells and pushes Tony aside, almost throwing him to the floor. She stops herself short seeing the others inside. "Who are you people!?" She puts it aside and runs upstairs to Miranda's room. She throws open her door and pounces on Miranda. "Get up! You need to go to the tournament! Did you forget the Champion's Tournament!?"

The Avengers walk into the room. "Champion's Tournament?" Tony questions.

"How do you not know what it is?! It's where all the champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them!" Cynthia yells pushing Miranda. "Get up!"

"You're not going to get her up like that," Lucario says.

"Water," Clint says and goes into the bathroom and returns with a cup full of freezing cold water. He dumps it on her face and she doesn't flinch an inch. "What the hell!?"

"That won't work either," Lucario says with a snicker.

Cynthia grabs both sides of Miranda's shoulders and shakes her back and forth. "GET UP!"

"That's not gonna work either," Lucario says shaking his head.

Cynthia whistles into her ear really loud. Nothing. "Nope," Lucario says. Cynthia calls out her Garchomp and made her roar (not one of her moves). Nothing. "Not gonna happen." She rings a bell. Nothing. Smacks her in the face with a pillow, uses a megaphone, waves stinky socks in front of her nose, and still she doesn't stir.

"Damn, how the hell do you wake her up?" Cynthia complains.

Lucario snaps his fingers and Miranda jolts up right. "I'm up."

"Really!? A simple snap?!" Cynthia complains.

"All you have to do is this," Miranda says and snaps her fingers. "And I'm up."

"Why didn't you do that the first time!?" Cynthia yells at Lucario.

"It was amusing to watch you try to get her up," Lucario says evilly with a laugh.

"Grrr..." Cynthia clenches her teeth. "Anyway, Miranda, hurry and get dressed! You're gonna be late to the Champion's Tournament!"

"What!? That's today!?" Miranda fusses and runs into the bathroom. She quickly puts her hair up and changes. She runs back out while putting on her shoes. "I'm ready!"

"Good! Let's go!" Cynthia yells and leaves the room. Miranda begins running after her with her bag, but gets stopped.

"What about us?" Steve asks.

"Oh! I forgot! You need to come with me! We will search for the lake guardians in a few days! But we need to leave now, so hurry!" Miranda says and rushes out the room with Pachirisu on her shoulder.

"Hurry before you get left behind," Lucario says and rushes after Miranda.

"Let's go, Avengers!" Tony calls out and rushes after them of course with the pokemon.

...

Outside...

"Come on out, Dialga!" Miranda yells throwing out a pokeball. Dialga is revealed and she leans down so everyone can get on her. "Alright, everyone on!" Everyone except Cynthia, who's on Garchomp, gets onto Dialga. "To the Unova region! Driftveil City awaits!"

"Miranda? The pokemon seem scared," Tony says tapping her shoulder to get her attention.

She tosses out a pokeball and Gardevoir is released. "Gardevoir can you sit in the very back and make sure none of the pokemon fall off?"

"Yes," she says and sits caboose behind Thor.

"Now, Dialga! Let's depart!" Miranda yells.

...

A couple hours later...

"Are we finally here?" Clint complains.

"Yes, we are here, crybaby," Miranda says rolling her eyes in annoyance. She pulls out 6 tickets from her bag and gives one to each Avenger. "These are to get in to the stadium to see the show. They also allow you backstage. Come backstage and ask whoever's working to take you to me. Secret word 'Woopers and Kingdras." She shuffles through her bag again and pulls out some money. "Go get some food then come back. A pokemon center is not too far up ahead. I will see you later." She walks off with Cynthia.

"Who are those people? And why are you giving them your money?" Cynthia asks confused.

"Believe it or not but they are from a different world and I'm trying to help them get back," Miranda says.

"Don't believe you, but let's go with that," Cynthia says with a wink. They laugh and head backstage after checking in.

...

"I thought pokemon centers were for healing your pokemon not eating," Clint says confused.

"Remember in the anime? It's basically a hotel," Tony says.

"Oh, I completely forgot," Clint says mentally smacking himself for forgetting that simple fact.

"Dumbass," Widow says with annoyance.

"Let's go," Tony says making a follow me gesture.

...

"We have our match ups! The first battle to take place is Blue vs. Diantha! The next battle will be Wallace vs. Red! The third battle will be Miranda vs. Iris! The fourth battle goes to Cynthia vs. Alder! The last battle goes to Lance vs. Steven!" the announcer yells into the microphone. The crowd cheers extremely loud.

"Great, I get to go against the newbie," Iris complains and rolls her eyes annoyed.

"I wouldn't be so down on the newbie, she's much stronger than you. She hasn't lost to a challenger yet," Cynthia says and turns to Miranda. "You better win."

"You really think I'd lose?" Miranda asks.

"No," Cynthia says without a second of a doubt.

...

"Is this the way backstage?" Tony asks the huge bodyguard with the Arcanine.

"Yes, it is," he says. "The front is back that way."

"No, we're here with the Champion Miranda," Steve says.

"Prove it," he says with a laugh. They take out their backstage passes and show the bodyguard. "Very well you may come back."

"Thank you," Tony says. They walk in and follow the way to the area where the Champions are.

A guard with a Machamp stops them before they walk into the area. "No access beyond this point."

"The Champion Miranda is our friend," Bruce says along with a nod from Munchlax.

The guard laughs. "That's what they all say! Now shoo!"

"Woopers and Kingdras," Widow says.

The guard's expression changes from laughter to being serious. "Before I allow you access, what is Miranda's first hand pokemon?"

"Pachirisu," Bruce says.

"Lucario," Tony says.

"Yeah, one of those two," Clint says shrugging his shoulders along with Ambipom.

"Then I'll give you another question. Where does Miranda live?" he asks.

"Uh..." Clint says. "Was anyone paying attention to where she said her villa was?"

"The Area of Resort!" Thor exclaims.

Widow smacks her forehead and sighs. "The Resort Area..."

"That is correct, I will now let you in," he says and moves out of their way.

"Thanks," they all say and walk past him.

...

"Miranda!" Tony shouts waving his arms back and forth.

"Oh! Hey, guys! Glad you made it on time! The first battle is about to begin. Here take a seat," Miranda says.

They all happily sit down ignoring the glares coming from the other Champions, excluding Cynthia. Widow shoots a glare back at all of them causing them to turn away with a huff.

"Doesn't the newbie know that bringing friends is obnoxious?" Iris asks loud enough so Miranda can hear her. "What a kid."

"Don't you know that it's kinda called being an asshole when you direct something towards a person, when you should keep it to yourself?" Widow states along with a huff from Buneary. Iris gets a look of surprise and huffs angrily.

"She can bring friends if she wants. It's not like it's a rule to not be able to bring them," Lance says while twirling a pokeball on his finger not really paying attention.

"Weren't you the newbie last year? Why are you being so rude when you're still a newbie yourself?" Cynthia says from Steven's shoulder, on which she's leaning.

"Didn't you bring Drayden the first time you came?" Alder asks trying to think back.

Red doesn't say a word and just watches the communication without any interest. The same bored, I'm better than you, expression on his face. Steven and Wallace are completely ignoring the situation and are talking with each other next to Cynthia. The crowd begins cheering loudly.

"Ssshh! Blue and Diantha are beginning their battle!" Miranda shouts looking down at the battle field. The others quiet down and watch their battle.

...

"The battle between Blue and Diantha will now commence! Each trainer will use 6 pokemon and the battle will be over when one trainer's pokemon have all fainted! No pokemon may be recalled. Trainers ready?" the announcer shouts.

"Ready as ever!" Blue shouts.

"I'm all set!" Diantha yells.

"Let the battle begin!" the announcer shouts.

"Come on out, Pidgeot!" Blue shouts.

"Hawlucha, I need your assistance!" Diantha calls out. The pokemon come from their respected pokeballs out onto the battlefield. "I'll let you take the first call!"

"Alright! Pidgeot, aerial ace!"

"Hawlucha, jump onto Pidgeot's back and use poison jab!" Hawlucha does as told and hops right when needed. His hands turn purple and he repeatedly jabs Pidgeot in the back.

"Pidgeot, throw Hawlucha off! Then use whirl wind!" Pidgeot twists and turns eventually throwing off Hawlucha. Pidgeot gets enough distance and whips up a whirlwind.

Diantha smirks. "Hawlucha, use the whirlwind to your advantage and elevate to the top!" He boosts himself up to the top and the whirlwind disperses. "Now use flying press!" He dives down towards Pidgeot gaining speed to increase the power of the attack. He hits head on and Pidgeot faints.

"Pidgeot is unable to battle point to Diantha!" the announcer announces and the crowd cheers.

"Pidgeot return," Blue says. "You did a great job take a nice rest." He kisses the top of the ball and sets it back onto his belt. "Good job! But the next point will go to me! Rhydon, let's go!" Rhydon enters the battlefield with a roar and the crowd cheers. "Rock tomb!" Rhydon throws a rock straight at Hawlucha and it hits him head on.

"Hawlucha is unable to battle! Point for Blue!" the man announces again the crowd cheers.

Blue is now the one to smirk. "Nice one," Diantha says and recalls Hawlucha. "You did a wonderful job, please rest. Goodra, come and help!" Goodra appears and once again the crowd cheers. "Let's finish this quickly. Goodra, muddy water!"

"Rhydon, dodge it by using rock tomb!" Rhydon throws a large boulder at Goodra's muddy water and cuts it off. "Can't win that easily!"

"It seems so. Goodra, dragon pulse, let's go!" Goodra whips up a purple and red beam aiming straight towards Rhydon.

"To the right!" Rhydon moves to the right and the dragon pulse whizzes right passed him. "Earthquake! Knock Goodra of her feet!" The ground rumbles and shakes Goodra up. "Take down while Goodra's distracted!" Rhydon charges at Goodra with a great amount of speed and slams right into Goodra. Goodra stumbles but catches herself.

"Now Goodra, muddy water!" Goodra shoots a muddy water straight at Rhydon and he, can't move away fast enough since he's so close, gets shot straight in the face.

"Rhydon is unable to battle. Point to Diantha!" the man shouts causing the crowd to cheer again.

"Grrr! Rhydon, return!" Blue yells. "You did a great job, thank you. Exeggutor, I need you!" He comes out and gets into position. "Sleep powder!" He does as told and knocks out Goodra with a sleep powder. "Egg bomb!" He shoots egg bombs at Goodra until she faints.

"Goodra is unable to battle! Point to Blue!" the man announces sleepily and the crowd somewhat cheers. They seemingly got hit with sleep powder as well. Luckily, Blue and Diantha held their breath.

"Goodra, return," Diantha says. "You were amazing, thank you for the great job. Aurorus, your assistance please!"

"Giga drain!" Blue calls out. Exeggutor does as commanded and restores his hp with Aurorus'.

"Blizzard!" Aurorus starts up a blizzard and hits Exeggutor dead on. Exeggutor falls but slowly gets back up confirming he's still in the game. "I'm impressed."

"Sleep powder!"

"Blow it back with Blizzard!" Exeggutor falls asleep. "Thunder."

"Exeggutor has been defeated. Point for Diantha," the man says.

"Thanks, Exeggutor, you did a great job," Blue says. "Alright, let's win this! Arcanine! Come on out! Use flamethrower!"

"Aurorus has fainted. Point to Blue!" the man yells.

"Thank you, Aurorus, you did an amazing job. Tyrantrum, spotlight!" Diantha yells tossing out the pokeball with Tyrantrum. "Use head smash!"

Blue laughs. "Not so fast! Extreme speed, Arcanine!" Arcanine disappears; he's moving so fast. Tyrantrum gets hit on the back, then right side, then right again, then left, then gets a jab to the stomach.

"Tyrantrum is unable to battle. Point to Blue!" the man says.

"Thanks for what you did even if you didn't get any hits in. Your opponent was just too fast," Diantha says and puts the pokeball back where it belongs. "Gourgeist, you can do it!"

"Extreme speed." The attack goes right through Gourgeist. "Damn, ghost type."

"Shadow sneak." A shadow creeps along the ground and directs itself towards Arcanine.

"Jump and use flamethrower!" Right before the shadow sneak get to him he jumps and destroys it with flamethrower. "Flamethrower!"

"Seed bomb!" Gourgeist throws the bomb at flamethrower and the room fills with smoke. "Now, use shadow sneak!" You hear a quiet whimper and then the smoke clears. Both pokemon are still standing.

"Flamethrower again!"

"Phantom force!" The attacks both hit their directed target.

"Both pokemon are unable to battle! Point to both!" the man yells.

"Thank you, Arcanine, you battled hard, we have only one more of her pokemon to defeat because of you," Blue says.

"Great job," Diantha says and takes out her final pokemon. "I know you can win all this! Let's go, Gardevoir!"

"Let's go, Alakazam!"

"Alakazam vs. Gardevoir, battle... begin!" the man yells.

"Gardevoir, shadow ball."

"Alakazam, catch it and send it back."

"Alakazam is unable to battle. Point to Gardevoir!" the man announces.

"Wait, what!?" Blue yells shocked. "What just happened!?" He returns his Alakazam.

"You should know that you can't catch my Gardevoir's shadow ball," Diantha says confidently.

"You did a great job. Sorry you didn't have a chance to prove yourself," Blue says and grabs his last pokeball. "Blastoise, hydro pump!"

"Catch it with psychic!" Gardevoir gets knocked down by the force of water. "How?"

"You should know that you can't catch my Blastoise's hydro pump," Blue says mimicking Diantha's voice.

"Haha, very funny," Diantha says sarcastically. "I think it's time to make this battle better!"

"I couldn't agree with you more," Blue says.

"Gardevoir/Blastoise, mega evolve!" they both shout. Right before your eyes they take on a different form. The crowd goes wild. "This is more like it!"

"Hydro pump!"

"Moonblast!" The attacks collide and disperse. "Thunderbolt!"

"Skull bash it!" The thunderbolt hits the skull bash and gets reflected.

"How?"

"Our skull bash basically changes to like a ground type, so electric type moves won't work."

"Clever. Moonblast!"

"Eat it with crunch!" Blastoise chomps all the blasts disintegrating them. "Hydro pump!" He shoots Gardevoir straight in the face. "Hurry and use crunch on Gardevoir's head!" Blastoise gets right next to Gardevoir with some unknown speed and chomps her head. She topples to the ground once he releases her from his mouth.

"Gardevoir is unable to battle. The winner is Blue!" the man yells and the crowd erupts into loud cheers.

Blastoise gets beside Blue. "Great job, Blastoise! I know I can always count on you!"

"Gardevoir you were amazing," Diantha says and returns her. "Have a nice long rest."

"Blue will advance on to the next round!" the man announces.

...

"Whoa... These battles are intense..." Clint says and Starly nods.

"Well, they are both champions. They should be intense," Miranda says.

"I was sure the girl was gonna win!" Tony fusses.

"Pay up," Clint says rubbing his fingers together. "10 bucks."

Tony hands him 10 bucks regrettably. "Stupid bet..."

"Well, I guess that would be our cue," Wallace says and smacks Red on the back. Red makes an annoyed grunt and gets dragged out the room by Wallace.

"So you wanna bet again?" Clint asks. "We can double it this time."

"Definitely," Tony says.

"I'll let you choose first," Clint says.

'Choose−,' Miranda says telepathically to Tony. 'He will win.'

"Then I choose−!" Tony says.

...

"The battle between Wallace and Red will now commence! Each trainer will use 6 pokemon and the battle will be over when one trainer's pokemon have all fainted! No pokemon may be recalled. Trainers ready?" the announcer shouts.

"I'm always ready," Red says.

"Okey dokey over here!" Wallace calls out gleefully causing Red to roll his eyes in annoyance.

"Let the battle begin!" the man calls out.

"Go Pikachu," Red says and his Pikachu jumps off his shoulder to the ground.

"Already starting out with your best? Alright, Wailord, come one out!" Wallace shouts.

"Thunder..."

"Wailord is unable to battle. Point to Red," the man says.

"Come on out Whiscash!"

"Quick attack..."

"Earthquake!"

"Use iron tail on the ground to boost yourself into the air then use an air quick attack," Red says.

Pikachu uses iron tail, on the ground just before the earthquake reached him, and gets a clear shot of Whiscash.

"Hyper beam, Whiscash!" It was already too late, Pikachu had already defeated Whiscash.

"Whiscash is unable to battle. Point to Red," the man calls and the crowds shrieks.

"Alright, Tentacruel, let's go!" Wallace calls out.

"Thunder..."

"Tentacruel is unable to battle. Point to Red!" the man calls.

"Go Ludicolo!"

"Thunder..."

"Dance out of the thunder's way!"

"That won't work..." Red says. Ludicolo moves out of the way but the thunder follows after him and shocks him to defeat.

"How did you do that!? Your Pikachu must have some kinda power to control its own thunder attack..." Wallace says.

"Ludicolo is unable to battle. Point to Red," the man says and the crowd squeals.

"Milotic, come out, beautiful," Wallace calls out.

"Thunder..."

Milotic gets hit and almost faints. "Recover!" Milotic pops right back and looks full of energy.

Red clicks his tongue in annoyance. "Quick attack..." Pikachu rams right into Milotic's side and pushes her over. "Now thunder."

"Milotic is unable to battle. Point to Red!"

"Gyarados, spotlight!" Wallace calls out. "Mega evolve!" Gyarados transforms.

"It won't make a difference if you mega evolve it. It still gonna be out in one hit..." Red says to himself. "This wasn't even worth my time. Thunder..."

"Gyarados is unable to battle! The winner is Red and he will be advancing on to the next round!"

"Good job!" Wallace says and sticks his hand out for Red to shake. Red looks at his hand and Pikachu climbs onto his shoulder. He doesn't shake his hand.

"Word of advice, don't choose just one type of pokemon," Red says and turns to the exit.

...

"Yes! 20 bucks for me!" Tony says excitedly and high fives Sneasel.

"Dammit!" Clint yells and hands him 20 bucks. Miranda and Tony high five. "Hey! No fair! She told you who to choose! Didn't she?!"

"What makes you think that?" Tony says and smiles mischievously.

"That! That smile!" Clint yells and points an accusing finger.

"Oh? I guess this means it's my turn!" Miranda says erratically and jumps up from her seat.

"This battle won't even be worth my time," Iris says annoyed.

"We'll see about that," Miranda says and bumps into her shoulder purposefully. "Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt?"

"Grrr..." Iris growls. "I'll get you for that!"

"Whatever," Miranda says and rolls her eyes. They walk down to the battlefield bickering the whole way down. They get into their positions on either side of the battlefield

"The battle between Miranda and Iris will now commence! Each trainer will use 6 pokemon and the battle will be over when one trainer's pokemon have all fainted! No pokemon may be recalled. Trainers ready?" the announcer shouts.

"Ready to pummel her into the ground," Iris says evilly.

"I'm A-OK! All ready to go!" Miranda shouts cheerfully.

The man looks between the two confused. "Uh... Okay! Let the battle begin! And please don't kill each other!"

"Hydreigon! Come forth!" Iris yells infuriated.

"Lucario? Wanna go?" Miranda asks him.

"Greatly," Lucario responds.

"Alright, let's go Lucario!" Miranda shouts. Now she talks telepathically. 'Got it.'

'Got it,' Lucario says back telepathically.

'Dragon pulse.' The purple and red colored beam forms in Lucario's hands and is shot at Hydreigon.

"That was stupid, letting a steel type go against me, what a little kid," Iris says. "Fire blast." Hydreigon releases a 大-shaped blast from its mouth.

Lucario's dragon pulse blasts through the fire blast and hits Hydreigon right in the face.

"Hydreigon is unable to battle. Point to Miranda," the man says and the crowd cheers.

"Grrr! Archeops! Front and center!"

'Aura sphere.' Lucario puts its hands together and creates a blue ball of energy then shoots it at Archeops.

"Archeops is unable to battle. Point to Miranda."

"You didn't even tell Lucario to do anything!"

"If you weren't such a little kid maybe you'd know why I don't have to."

"Araghhh!" Iris screams in displeasure. "Aggron, let's try you out! Use earthquake!"

'Jump and surround yourself with protect like a bubble.' Lucario jumps and uses protect. The earthquake still continues and Lucario falls back down and bounces on the ground, inside his protect, like a bouncy ball. 'Extreme speed up to Aggron and then use a close combat dragon pulse.' The earthquake stops and Lucario does exactly as he's told. The Aggron gets knocked over. 'Now finish it off with aura sphere.'

"Aggron is unable to continue. Point to Miranda."

"What!?" Iris screams. "Lapras, use sing!" She throws out the pokeball. Lapras sings a lullaby and multicolored music notes come from its mouth, floating towards Lucario.

'Dodge the sing by twisting on the ground and using dragon pulse. Then extreme speed.' Lucario blocks away all the music notes floating his way and then smacks Lapras at an extreme speed.

"Lapras is unable to continue. Point to Miranda."

Miranda smirks. "This is such a waste of my time. I could be sleeping right now and having a dream where someone's actually a challenge. I hope that day comes soon! Because this is obviously not the one!"

"Salamence, come out!" Iris yells incredibly angry. "Mega evolve!" His appearance changes his wings meld together into a single huge, crescent-shaped wing. His face, neck, body and tail are narrower, and his tail is noticeably shorter in length. The ridges above his eyes are now far less prominent, and he no longer possesses the thick, gray scaling over his lower jaw. Instead, the smooth red flesh underneath has been left exposed, increasing his streamline appearance. The upper pair of fins resting on the sides of his head are now elongated and tapered. The lower pair has not changed much. However, the middle set now take the form of quarter-arches, spanning towards the bridge of the nose. The remnants of his shelled underbelly have been drastically transformed into a segmented, more aerodynamic, vest-like armored frame.

"All right! Maybe I might get a challenge! Or not." 'Dragon pulse, obviously. Let's quickly wrap this up, I'm getting bored!'

"Salamence has been defeated. Point to Miranda."

"Arghhh! Haxorus! Use outrage!"

'Protect...'

"Guillotine!" Haxorus' hands glows light blue and runs towards Lucario.

'What the hell does that even do? Finish this up and use dragon pulse.'

"Haxorus is no longer able to battle. The win belongs to Miranda! Give a round of applause because this is the first time Miranda has been here!" The crowd roars louder than it ever has before. "Miranda will be moving on to the next round!"

Iris stomps up to Miranda and throws a punch at her face. Miranda of course caught it with no difficulty. Or otherwise you can say she blocked it with her powers. "Next time don't be a bitch to someone because they're new. Also, anger and battling do not do you good. I was getting you all riled up; you need to not let comments get to you."

"Grrr!" Iris fusses trying to punch her but with no prevail. She had a total hissy fit and begins stomping the ground with irascibility.

'And if you haven't noticed I have powers. I can talk telepathically to my pokemon, so I don't need to call out any moves.'

Iris' eyes widen and she slowly backs away then takes a run for the hills. Miranda laughs and walks back to the Champion seats.

...

"That was incredible!" Thor shouts once Miranda returns to the Champion room.

Red glances at Miranda, looking her up and down, and thinks about something but his expression doesn't show it.

"Good job! You really showed that bitch," Clint says.

"I guess that means it's our turn," Cynthia says and turns towards Alder.

"Guess so!" Alder exclaims.

...

"The battle between Cynthia and Alder will now commence the two ex-champions! Each trainer will use 6 pokemon and the battle will be over when one trainer's pokemon have all fainted! No pokemon may be recalled. Trainers ready?" the announcer shouts.

"Ready as ever!" Alder shouts.

"All systems are a go!" Cynthia yells.

"Let the battle begin!"

"Accelgor!" Alder yells.

"Gastrodon! Battle dance!" Cynthia yells. "Earthquake!"

The pokemon are released and the ground begins to rumble. Gastrodon uses earthquake causing Accelgor to fumble.

"Energy ball! Accelgor!"

"Burst it with stone edge!" Accelgor opens its mouth and forms a light green energy ball in front of its mouth. He then fires the energy ball from his mouth at Gastrodon. Three light blue rings surround Gastrodon's body. The rings glow white and form into gray stones. Then, her eyes glow yellow and she aims at the energy ball. The attacks collide and the energy ball bursts into sparkles. "Stone edge, one more time!" The attack pummels Accelgor.

"Accelgor is unable to battle. Point to Cynthia."

"Druddingon, outrage!" Druddingon's eyes glow red and its body becomes outlined in a red aura. He slams into Gastrodon.

"Gastrodon is unable to battle! Point to Alder!"

"Lucario! Battle dance!" Cynthia shouts and tosses out his pokeball. "Dragon pulse!"

"Druddingon is unable to battle. Point to Cynthia!"

"Vanilluxe, front and center!" Alder calls out. "Blizzard!" Vanilluxe opens its mouth and the inside of it starts to glow light blue, then shoots a powerful blizzard at Lucario.

"Use psychic to control it!" Lucario does as so but get pushed back some by the force. "Send it back along with aura spheres!" Vanilluxe gets hit by the returned blizzard but isn't affected. Lucario begins shooting aura spheres from both hands. Each one makes a bullseye.

"Vanilluxe is unable to continue! Point to Cynthia!"

"Escavalier, you're needed!"

"Aura sphere!" Lucario sends multiple aura spheres.

"Escavalier has fainted! Point to Cynthia!"

"Volcarona, use overheat!" Alder yells tossing out his pokeball. Volcarona's body turns a faint red and it releases a white fire with a red-orange flame spiraling around it at Lucario.

"Aura sphere!" Lucario uses aura sphere but it disappears inside the overheat and he gets hit right in the face.

"Lucario is unable to battle! Point to Alder!"

"Milotic, your time is now!" Cynthia yells. "Surf!" Milotic creates a huge wave, rides on it, and then crashes into Volcarona.

"Volcarona is unable to continue! Point to Cynthia!"

"Bouffalant, it's your time to shine!" Alder yells. "Earthquake."

"Use your tail to spring yourself up!" Milotic curls herself like a spring and pushes against the ground causing her to fly into the air. "Surf!" She rides along the top and crashes into Bouffalant.

"Bouffalant, use stone edge!" Milotic gets pummeled by rocks and collapses to the ground. "Head charge!"

"Milotic, use ice beam on the ground!" The ground freezes over and Bouffalant loses control of his footing. Milotic slides along the ice gracefully and twirls around Bouffalant, occasionally bumping into him to make him fall. "Alright, enough messing around finish this off with ice beam!"

"Bouffalant is unable to battle. Cynthia is the winner!"

Alder recalls his Bouffalant. "Great battle, Cynthia!"

"You too!" she calls back.

...

"That Lucario was pretty good! Did she help you?" Bruce asks Miranda.

"She helped me somewhat but I did all the work," Miranda says. "Obviously my Lucario is better. Isn't that right?"

"Of course," Lucario says with a confident nod.

"Hello, everyone!" Cynthia says walking into the room excitedly.

"Great job!" Tony says and tries to give her a hug, but gets pushed backwards.

"Don't touch, she's mine," Steven says flames growing in his eyes. Tony shrinks back into his seat.

"Is it our turn already?" Lance asks.

"Yep, ready to lose?" Steven says competitively.

"As if!" Lance yells and they laugh. They head down to the battlefield.

"So who's gonna win?" Tony asks Miranda.

"I have no doubt that it's gonna be−"

...

"The battle between Lance and Steven will now commence! Each trainer will use 6 pokemon and the battle will be over when one trainer's pokemon have all fainted! No pokemon may be recalled. Trainers ready?" the announcer shouts.

"As always!" Lance says.

"Let's make this battle great!" Steven exclaims.

"Battle... begin!"

"Salamence! Come to battle!" Lance yells.

"Claydol! Some help!" Steven calls.

"Salamence use shadow claw!" His hands become surrounded by a black aura with a purple outline. The aura then takes the form of a claw and Salamence slashes Claydol.

"Reflect!" Claydol's eyes glow light blue and a clear, glass wall appears in front of him and blocks the shadow claw.

"Break the barrier with dragon and shadow claw!" The right claw glows bright green and the other claw is a shadow claw and they repeatedly slash at the barrier of the reflect.

"Earth power!" Claydol's body glows gold, and the ground all around it starts to shake, with glowing gold cracks spreading all around it and a force comes from the ground striking Salamence right as he breaks the barrier.

"Salamence!" Salamence cries out from the pain.

"Flamethrower Salamence!" He releases a red-orange stream of fire from his mouth and aims it straight at Claydol.

Claydol gets hit head on and stumbles back a little. "Extrasensory!" A gold energy starts to form around him and forms into his body, causing its body to become surrounded in a golden aura. Then a rainbow colored beam shoots straight at Salamence.

"Dodge and use shadow claw!" Salamence doesn't move out of the way quickly enough and gets struck and he cries out in pain. Once he recovers he moves quickly towards Claydol.

"Light screen!"

Salamence breaks straight through it and delivers a devastating blow to Claydol's head knocking him out.

"Claydol is unable to battle! Point to Lance!"

Steven returns Claydol. "You were great take a well deserved rest. Come on out Aerodactyl! Use thunder fang!" He flies at Salamence with electricity coating his teeth and clamps down, before Salamence can react, on his wing.

"Sallaamennncee!" Salamence cries out.

"Shake it off and use flamethrower!" He does and blasts the fire attack burying Aerodactyl into the ground.

"Aero!" he cries out.

"Once more, thunder fang!" Aerodactyl chomps down on the end of Salamence's tail and shocks him. "Ice fang!" His teeth change from being coated in electricity to ice and ice begins to creep along Salamence's tail.

"Salla!" the dragon type cries out hating the coldness.

"Slam it down to the ground!" Salamence twirls in the air and dives straight for the ground and turns right before he hits and slams his tail into the ground along with Aerodactyl.

"Hang on, Aerodactyl! Continue using ice fang!" He does as told and the ice now completely covers Salamence's tail.

"That's one hard headed Aerodactyl! Salamence use flamethrower on your tail to melt the ice away!" Aerodactyl releases his grip before he gets hit in the face with flames and all the ice melts.

Salamence is now breathing heavy as well as Aerodactyl. "Let's finish this off! Aerodactyl, thunder fang!"

"Salamence is unable to continue! Point to Steven!"

"Return Salamence. You did a wonderful job take a nice rest. Let's go Gyarados!" Lance yells.

"You really wanna use a water type if I have an electric type move?" Steven shouts out.

"Well, your Aerodactyl is weakened and is also a rock type! I think I have the advantage! Now, Gyarados use waterfall!" His eyes glow light blue and a column of water rises from the water, and he swims up the column in a fast, spiraling motion.

"Dodge and use thunder fang!" Aerodactyl tries to dodge but is so tired gets struck and falls to the ground.

"Aerodactyl is unable to battle. Point to Lance!"

"See told you!" Lance yells out with a chuckle.

"Great job, Aerodactyl, you did an amazing job, please rest. Skarmory, use spikes and then toxic!" Skarmory spins its body rapidly and multiple glowing metallic red spikes come out of its body and fall onto the battlefield. The spikes sink into the ground when they land. Then he opens his mouth and releases a black smog from its mouth and it lurks over to Gyarados and his body begins to glow purple.

"Thunder wave, Gyarados!" He releases thin streams of electricity from his body aiming right for Skarmory.

"Dodge and use steel wing!" Skarmory twirls out of the way and his wings glow white, and he slams them into Gyarados.

"Graaarrr!" Gyarados cries out.

"Dragon dance!" Lance calls out. Gyarados becomes surrounded in a red and purple vortex that comes and goes quickly, and he looks pumped up. "Waterfall!"

"Aerial ace to cut right through it!" Skarmory cuts right through the waterfall and finds Gyarados and slams right into him. The water dissipates all around the room making it unable to see the two pokemon.

The field finally clears and you see both pokemon on their last stand until Gyarados' eyes grow even bigger and he falls to the ground with a loud boom.

"Gyarados is unable to battle! Point to Steven!" At that moment Skarmory falls too. "Point to both champions!"

They return their pokemon and call out there next one.

"Garchomp!" he comes out and small explosions go off under their feet, hurting him from the spikes.

"Aggron!" Steven calls. "Dragon claw!"

"Earthquake, Garchomp, mess up his footing!" As matter of fact Aggron stumbles but stays in one place until the rumbling stops then continues charging at Garchomp to deliver his dragon claw. "Outrage when he gets close!" Garchomp's eyes glow red and its body is outlined in a red aura. He begins going wild and thrashes around hitting Aggron.

"Agg!" Aggron cries out.

"Use dragon claw!" Aggron does as told and repeatedly lands slashes at Garchomp. "Now stone edge!" Garchomp gets hit badly and he delivers a harder blow right back at Aggron. "Iron tail!" Aggron's tail becomes coated in a silvery glow and it slams into Garchomp's side sending him skidding to Lance's feet.

The red aura fades away from Garchomp and he slowly gets up. "Earthquake!" The ground rumbles stronger than before and makes Aggron wobble. "Now slam yourself into him!" Garchomp slams into Aggron and makes him topple over.

"Use earthquake yourself Aggron!" Aggron pushes Garchomp off him and throws him back to his side of the field. The earth begins to rumble.

"Fine then! Use your own earthquake too!" Garchomp begins to rumble the ground. The middle of the field begins to crack open and then the ground splits in all sorts off places.

"Stone edge!" The stones fly at Garchomp and he falls down not getting back up.

"Garchomp is unable to battle! Point to Steven!"

"Thanks, take a rest. Charizard, flamethrower!" He gets hurt from the spikes. The attack hits Aggron head on and he falls.

"Agg-" the announcer begins but stops when he sees Aggron getting back up.

"Great job! Bring Charizard down with stone edge!"

"Dodge!" Charizard dodges as much as he can but gets pelted by lots of the stones and lands on the ground. "Flamethrower once more!"

"Block it with stone edge!" The stones form in front of Aggron and get used as a shield and blocks the flamethrower.

"Charizard, hyper beam!" The powerful beam comes from his mouth and travels straight towards Aggron.

"Block with dragon claw!" He crosses his arms layering the dragon claws and pushes against the hyper beam resulting with some damage.

"Dragon claw!" the champions both call out. The two pokemon go straight towards each other and fight head to head. "Finish it!"

"Pokemon on either side are unable to battle! Point to both trainers!"

"Carbink!" Steven calls.

"Dragonite!" Lance yells. Dragonite gets hurt from the spikes. "Draco meteor!"

"Protect yourself with power gem!" A large gem covers him and blocks all the draco meteors with some struggle. "Moonblast!" An image of the Moon appears behind him. He then forms an orb of pink energy in front of his mouth, and fires it at Dragonite.

"Quick dodge it!" Lance yells worriedly. Dragonite doesn't move quickly enough and gets a full on moonblast. He cries out in pain. "Safeguard!" His body glows green and he pushes out a green barrier from his body that prevents anything from getting in.

"Break that safe guard with power gem!" Once again Carbink shoots a powerful gem at Dragonite and manages to get through the safeguard. "Moonblast!"

"Counter it with fire blast!" The attacks collide and the pokemon being so close together get thrown back.

"Hold Dragonite in place with psychic and then use moonblast!" Carbink gets a hold of Dragonite surrounding him with a blue outline.

"Draco meteor!"

Steven smirks. The meteors hit Carbink but they don't seem to hurt him more like bother him like a pesky fly. "Moonblast!"

"Ah shit! Damn fairy types! Hyper beam!"

Both attacks hit the targeted target and smoke rises from the explosion. The only thing you can tell is that one is up and one is down. The smoke finally clears and Carbink is on the ground while Dragonite is struggling to stand up.

"Carbink is unable to battle. Point to Lance!"

Steven returns Carbink. "That was a fantastic battle. You almost took down the strongest of his pokemon," Steven whispers to the pokeball then tosses out another. "Metagross! Let's finish this off with giga impact!" The white Metagross flies into the air and his body becomes surrounded by spiraling orange streaks. Then, a purple energy sphere surrounds his body and he flies into Dragonite with great force before Dragonite can even react.

"Dragonite is unable to battle. Point to Steven! Both champions are down to their last pokemon!"

"Great job for taking down a type disadvantage. Take a wonderful deserved rest," Lance says tucking the pokeball back onto his belt, then grabbing another one and throwing it into the air. "Altaria! It's all up to you!"

"Do you wanna take this up another level?" Steven asks twiddling with the pin with a colorful gem on it on his collar.

Lance fiddles with his own pin on his collar and nods. "Alright! Altaria, mega evolve!" He presses the stone on the pin and it glows yellow. The stone on the necklace around Altaria's neck glows blue. The two stones send out their respected beams of yellow and blue and connect together. Once they combine they turn green and connect back to the stones. Once the green glow reaches Altaria she begins to glow and her appearance changes.

Mega Altaria has more extensive cloud-like plumage, with a large, fluffy mass extending from its back. The feathers have grown as a self-protective measure, and they glimmer with an iridescent sheen. Her cottony wings are more distinct than in her base form, and her blue belly is now exposed. Additional fluff surrounds her neck like a collar, and her head is adorned with a hat-like crest. A single, small feather curls out from her forehead, though her facial features are unchanged. Her tail feathers have grown into a long, wavy streamer, with three longer central plumes.

"Mega evolve, Metagross!" Steven says and kisses the top of the stone in an elegant way. The stone from the ankle bracelet Metagross has begins to glow and the same process as Altaria happens.

As Mega Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. The cross on its face turn navy blue, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Lance yells excitedly. "Let's begin with dragonbreath!"

"Counter it with bullet punch!" Metagross punches right through dragonbreath. "Now meteor mash!"

"Double team!" Altarias spread all around Metagross and he punches one but it disappears. "Dragonbreath again!" The beam comes from all the Altarias but only one causes damage since all the rest are fakes, and Metagross cries out. Lance smirks knowing there's no way Steven can when since his Metagross only has physical attacks.

"Metagross, punch the ground with bullet punch!" Metagross looks confused but does as told and rapidly punches the ground causing the dirt to rise up and make all the Altarias disappear besides the real one, of course, that's trying to get the dirt out of her eyes. "Now use bullet punch!" Altaria gets pummeled and thrown back skidding to Lance's feet.

"Altaria you can do it! Use hyper beam!" She does as so and struggles getting up and launches the attack with it landing head on. Metagross cries out.

"Great, now, while Altaria can't move use meteor mash!" Altaria falls down once again at Lance's feet with one more hit she would be done for. "You okay, Altaria?" She nods and slowly gets back up. "Alright last resort, use perish song!" Altaria flies into the air and sings. As she does a trail of gold light, with multicolored sparkles in it, comes out from behind her body.

"Finish Altaria off with zen headbutt!" His head glows blue and slams right into Altaria making her faint.

"Altaria is unable to continue! Point to Steven! Steven is the winner and will be going onto the next round!" The crowd goes wild shouting 'Steven' repeatedly. "Tomorrow will be the next rounds!"

The two champions walk out together and return to the champion section.

"Great job, sweety!" Cynthia says giving Steven a hug which he returns.

"The champions moving on are Blue, Red, Miranda, Cynthia, and Steven. Which means we have an uneven amount of champions. Thus we have made the decision that one champion will have to sit out and battle in the third round! Please champions look towards the board and we will see who is randomly chosen to sit the next round out!"

"That's kind of a stupid way to do things," Cynthia says.

The board has pictures of each champion that won being shuffled around and eventually picks one. The picture that comes up is Steven. "It looks as if Steven will be sitting the next round out! Now let's see who will be matched up tomorrow!" Again the screen shuffles and then matches champions together. "Blue vs. Red! And Miranda vs. Cynthia!"

"The two rivals since the beginning and the Sinnoh champions. I feel this wasn't randomly selected," Cynthia doubts the system.

"Be prepared to go down, again!" Miranda says to Cynthia determined.

She laughs. "I have no doubt in my mind that you will beat me, but that doesn't mean I won't give it my all!" Cynthia says.

"I want you to give me your all!" Miranda says.

"So looks like you'll be my opponent old buddy," Blue says throwing his arm across Red's shoulder causing Pikachu to jump on Red's head instead of getting knocked off.

"Seems so," Red says seemingly annoyed and disappointed.

Tony taps on Miranda's shoulder, getting her attention she turns around. "What about us?" The champions, besides Cynthia and Miranda, all leave.

"Oh my! I completely forgot! You guys will just have to wait a few days longer. As you can see I'm busy... I promised I would help you and I don't break my promises! I promise I will help you return to your world. It's just gonna be a while. I have lots of duties to take care of as champion. Don't worry I will get to you guys as soon as possible," Miranda says.

"Snea Sneasel?" Sneasel says confused.

"These guys aren't from this world Sneasel. They come from another one. I'm helping them get home," Miranda says. "Where you not listening when we were talking about it?"

"Snea..." Sneasel says shaking its head 'no'.

"This means they won't be here forever. Which also means that you shouldn't get too attached to them, you can't go with them to their world and they can't stay here in ours. This goes to all the other pokemon, too. We don't want any problems forming when the time comes for them to go," Miranda says stating the facts.

"We do not need any problems what-so-ever," Lucario says.

"I still don't believe it. You guys are pretty convincing though," Cynthia says.

Miranda turns towards Cynthia. "You study about myths and such right?"

"Yeah?" Cynthia says not sure where this conversation is going.

"Where do you think Arceus would be?" Miranda asks.

Cynthia looks a little taken aback by this question then begins to laugh. "I wouldn't know. That's what I've been trying to find out for years."

"Darn..." Miranda says snapping in frustration.

"Well, legends say that you can find Arceus at the Hall of Origin which is at Spear Pillar. But I've looked for this place and haven't found any sort of clue to where exactly it is. The legend also says you need to have an azure flute, but nobody knows where that is," Cynthia says remembering all the things she read about.

"Does anyone know who made the azure flute?" Widow asks joining in holding Buneary.

"No, nobody knows who made it," Cynthia says sadly. "My advice would be ask Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. I bet that they would know since Arceus made them, he's their father, or so legends say. He also seems to have made the lake guardians as well."

"Well, this sucks..." Clint says and pouts and Ambipom copies his expression. "Would you stop that!?" He smacks his hands towards Ambipom and Ambipom copies. "Dammit! Stop!"

"Star!" Starly says trying to resolve everything.

"Bui bui!" Buizel says shooting water at the two.

"Crooo," Croagunk says puffing his cheeks in and out.

Miranda looks around at the Avengers and how they act with the pokemon.

"I don't know how you guys eat so much for being so small," Bruce says with disbelief as he watches the two pokemon stuff their mouths with their like millionth hotdog.

"Munch!" Munchlax says stuffing down another.

"Swin!" Swinub says swallowing a hotdog whole.

Miranda giggles.

"What? Thou want to battle me?" Thor says looking at Shinx.

"Shinx!" Shinx nods.

"Ele," Elekid says.

"Methinks that is not the smart move," Thor says.

Miranda turns to Steve.

Cradled in his arms fast asleep is Abra along with Riolu watching carefully to make sure Steve won't hurt him. Togepi is skipping along the floor in a totally different world.

"You know you don't have to constantly watch me. The little guys are safe with me. I'm the most trustful out of this whole group," Steve says.

"Rio!" Riolu says knowingly, but still wants to make sure.

"Toge toge toge pi! Toge toge toge pi! Toge toge pi pi!" Togepi says walking back and forth singing a song.

Miranda turns towards Tony.

"So do you cut things with these?" Tony asks Scyther while observing his arms.

"Sy," Scyther nods.

"Like fruits and... berries?" Tony says unsure what there is in this world.

Scyther nods again and Sneasel begins showing off her claws. "Snee!"

"So you can cut things too?" Tony asks obviously noticing Sneasel trying to show off.

"Snee!" Sneasel says happily.

"And do you cut things with your horn?" Tony asks Absol.

"Absol," he says with a nod.

"That's pretty cool," Tony says.

Then Miranda looks towards Widow.

"Bun?" Buneary looks up at Widow confused.

"Why did you wanna come with me?" Widow asks looking at all the pokemon around her. "Do you like me that much?"

"Rupi!" Skorupi says with a nod.

"Ha ha ha," Haunter laughs with malevolence.

"I can't imagine why, all animals hate me," Widow says.

"Hey, Miranda, I'm gonna go, see you later at the hotel," Cynthia says.

Miranda turns towards her. "Alright, we're right behind you. Avengers!" They all look at her. "Time to go."

"Go where?" Widow asks.

"To the hotel where we'll be staying," Miranda says.

"This better be a nice hotel," Tony grumbles so low only he could hear it or so he thought.

"Don't worry Tony, this hotel is top notch, enough to even fit your tastes," Miranda says and snickers at his shocked face. "Now." She claps her hands once. "Time to get going!" She leaves through the door, Pachirisu on her shoulder and Lucario following behind her.

Lucario turns back and looks at them after Miranda leaves the room. "Look just because my master is helping you does not give you any special privileges. You are lucky she is willing to help you; most people would look at you and totally ignore you. If it was anyone else you might never get home. And you better hope you are able to get home because her helping you out will not last forever. Anyway, the point is you are lucky that anyone is helping you so be grateful for what you get," Lucario says and begins walking through the door again. "Now hurry up or we will leave you." He leaves.

"Wow, talk about good acting. A total precious being in front of Miranda then an ass when she's not," Tony says.

"He's right you know," Steve says. "You should be thankful for what you're getting and not complain for what you're not."

"You know I think he was aiming that more towards you, Tony," Widow says.

"Why is it always me?" Tony asks annoyed.

"Because you're the only one who complains about things not being good enough," Clint says.

Steve looks down at Riolu and she looks at the door with awe then quickly shakes her head when she notices Steve looking at her. Steve snickers and Riolu fusses with him.

"Alright guys, let's hurry before they disappear into this large city," Steve says carrying Abra and leaves the room with his respected pokemon. The other Avengers slowly file out behind him.

...

"Now everyone stay together, don't want anyone to get lost. Lucario can you hang in the back to make sure none of the small pokemon get lost?"

"Yes," he says and makes his way to the back of the group.

Riolu begins to slow down her pace so they pass by her so she can get near Lucario. Steves notices and stops her for a few seconds. "Don't... fondue..."

Riolu looks at him funny and continues making her way to Lucario. Lucario notices and glances at her then returns to patrolling the group. She slows a little more so she's right next to him.

"Can I h-help?" Riolu asks nervously.

Again Lucario glances at her. "If you want that would help."

They're quiet for a moment longer and Riolu nervously speaks back up. "U-um... I liked your speech..."

"What? Oh, what I told the uh... Avengers?"

"Yeah, I agree with you," she says.

"Good, if only that big headed idiot with the goatee would understand that," Lucario says with an annoyed sigh. It's silent for a few moments until Lucario speaks up again. "I've noticed how you watch over your friends. You really care for them, don't you?"

"Togepi and Abra are basically like my little siblings. If they ever got hurt I would blame myself," Riolu says.

"How long have you been together?"

"5 years. 5 years ago a storm came upon our little village and blew us far away from our families. From then on I've taken on the responsibility of being in charge. Togepi was a just hatched and Abra was about a year old. I was 3."

"Sounds terrible. Seems like we are about the same age. 6 years ago I was 2 and had a constant broken leg. One that would never heal so nobody wanted me as their pokemon until Miranda came. I told her to leave me alone but she persisted and then I eventually got annoyed and lashed out at her, but of course I didn't get her. She actually healed my leg with her powers."

"That's insane! Maybe all Riolu's have a bad childhood or something?" Riolu says and laughs and Lucario lets out a little laugh.

"Maybe. We should ask Cynthia's Lucario," Lucario says. "Should I ask Cynthia if she will let us talk?"

"Yes!"

"You think you can handle things back here?"

"I've got it!" Riolu says and begins to watch the pokemon.

Lucario walks up to Cynthia and points to her Lucario's pokeball. "Can you let him out?"

"Oh, sure!" Cynthia says and releases Lucario.

The two Lucario's walk back to Riolu.

"So that is what we wanted to ask you?" M Lucario says.

"Maybe they all are bad. When I was a Riolu I was taken away from my parents in a storm too," C Lucario says.

"Strange," Riolu says now walking between them and starts to fall behind since their legs are longer. M Lucario grabs her hand causing her to blush.

"Do not want you getting left behind," M Lucario says.

"Here we are!" Cynthia exclaims.

"Whoa, this place is bigger than Avengers mansion!" Clint says staring up the fancy hotel's size.

"The top floor's are the rooms the champions are staying in which are the penthouse suites. Since we only have 5 open rooms, since those 5 champions are no longer staying, one of you guys will have to sleep with another," Miranda says.

"There is no way I'm sleeping with someone!" Clint yells.

"So not Clint," Miranda says.

"Pretty sure nobody wants to sleep with me. That could end up in a big disaster," Bruce says.

"That goes for me as well," Thor says.

"So those two are out," Miranda says.

"Um, yeah, not happening," Tony says.

"Only unless you wanna die," Widow says.

"That leaves you Cap," Miranda says picking up on what Tony calls him.

"Great," Steve says sarcastically giving everyone an annoyed look.

"Don't worry there's an extra bed in my room," Miranda whispers so only Steve could hear.

"Oh, great," Steve says a little bit happier.

The lights in the city illuminate the night now the sky has turned to night and everyone's getting ready for bed. Right now everyone is hanging out in the lounge of the penthouse suites. The Avengers and the champions are talking and in another corner all their pokemon are talking.

Red's pokemon Pikachu, Snorlax, Charizard, Lapras, Venusaur, and Blastoise. Blue's pokemon Pidgeot, Rhydon, Exeggutor, Alakazam, Arcanine, and Blastoise. Miranda's pokemon Lucario, Pachirisu, Gardevoir, Gallade, and every Eevee evolution, including an Eevee, excluding a Sylveon. Cynthia's pokemon Spiritomb, Gastrodon, Milotic, Roserade, Lucario, and Garchomp. Steven's pokemon Skarmory, Aggron, Aerodactyl, Claydol, Carbink, and Metagross. Then all the Avengers pokemon. It's a very large penthouse.

All the pokemon talk with certain others; each has their little groups.

Eventually they all get tired and start heading off to bed. Miranda already fell asleep on the couch on Red's shoulder to his annoyance, but seems as if he doesn't mind at the same time. All the Avengers but Tony head to their rooms. As well as all the champions besides Red, Blue, and Miranda, of course.

"Looks like Red has a girlfriend!" Blue teases his rival.

Red's face turns, well, red. "Shut up."

"At least he has one," Tony says nonchalantly.

Red snickers. "True... Hey, wait! She's not my girlfriend!"

"Why not you like her don't cha?" Blue asks. "She's the same age as us, ain't she?"

"..."

"You do!"

"No... I find her interesting. She seems like she'll be a challenge."

"Is battling all you think about? Come on seriously man. One day you're gonna grow up and you're gonna be a lonely old man. And become a Meowth lady."

"I'm not gonna be a Meowth lady!"

"Then get a girlfriend, ask her out," Blue says.

Miranda stirs in her sleep a little causing everyone to look at her and her head falls into Red's lap. His face turns red and he drops his head low so his hat covers his face so that they wouldn't see his blush.

"Aww! Your ears are red, Red! You're blushing! It's a sign you like her!" Blue says teasingly.

"He got you there," Tony says snickering.

"Then what about you Blue?" Red remarks.

"Haven't you heard?" Blue asks. "Me and Misty."

"... What? No, I haven't heard about it," Red says confused.

"Okay, well... she doesn't know it yet," Blue says.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Red says and rolls his eyes.

"You know, I think this is the most I've heard you talk," Tony says looking at Red.

"He talks more when he's tired," Blue says. "Take Miranda to her room, Red, and then go to bed yourself."

"You're not my mom. I can do what I want," Red says and picks Miranda up and takes her to her room. He opens the door and Steve pops up from the bed, surprising Red. "Sorry, just getting her in bed."

"Sorry I scared you, son," Steve says and points to the other bed. He turns his back to him and returns to his sleeping position, falling asleep holding both Togepi and Abra.

Red walks up to the bed and sets her down next to the sleeping Lucario and Riolu that are snuggled together. He tucks her under the covers and looks at her peaceful sleeping face. (Maybe I should ask her out... But I don't know the first thing about dating... If I asked Blue for help, he'd just tease me more. Ugh... She probably doesn't even like me or already has a boyfriend? One of these older guys? The guy in the bed over there? She into that? No, I don't think so. Who exactly are they anyway? They're a strange bunch of people. This will have to do for now...)

Lucario opens one eye right at the exact moment the Red kissed Miranda's forehead. "Grrr..."

"Goodnight..." Red says and leaves the room.

Pachirisu sneaks into the room and curls up in the curve of Miranda's stomach. All the Eevee evolutions come in as well and all curl up in the king size bed. Then Gardevoir and Gallade come in as well and manage to get room on the bed too.

Later Tony, Blue, and Red all went to sleep because tomorrow is gonna be another long day.

...---...---...---...
Alright having some pokemon perspectives! Up next is round number two! :D Day three!
