Action: Seems like Tyler isn't himself.

Tyler: It's your fault you know that.

Tyler?: Do you not like me?

Tyler: Holy shit you're here.

Action: Oh boy.

Blaze: We should just dive in.

Ashley: Action doesn't own pokemon, music links or art referenced in today's chapter.

~Tyler's~

(Roxas Theme - Kingdom Hearts 2)

I'm back in a room I swore I wouldn't come back to, not because I hate it, but it proves that I haven't changed since the incident. I'm still weak.

'No you're not. With me here we are strong' his voice I can hear it again. It's like I have a true demon sleeping inside of me. If I were looking in a mirror it would be as if we were once one and now we are separated, at some point the glass broke and now we're like this.

'I let you do what you want for a day and I'm back here, a place I don't want to be' I retorted to the beast in my head.

'I'm sorry I guess I let loose a lot today, but you gave me permission and I thought our body could handle it' That's a first from this feral beast that he apologized.

'We share a mind space you know and of all pokemon that can hurt me it's you' I heard a little whine come from him as he spoke.

'Sorry was just noting how out of character you were' I heard a light chuckle come from him.

'What do you know you only realized I've existed starting yesterday. You don't know how long I've been dormant in your body' it was as if he was teasing me.

'Since I had my power taken away. I've felt like I wasn't alone' I spoke without thinking.

'I have to hand it to you, you were spot on. Seems like I have to go you have friends coming' In an instant it was like our connection vanished.

"Tyler we came as quick as we could" I opened my eyes to look around the room I was in and my friends filled the room.

"It's nothing to worry about I was just fatigued" I tried to reassure them I was fine.

"Yeah, then why have you been acting weird all day" Ashley confronted me.

"I was just trying something out," I retorted.

"Maybe Blaze should do a check on you" Glitz pointed to Blaze who was behind her.

"Maybe I could see what-" I interrupted him.

"I told you I'm fine and don't even bother the doctors checked everything they could" I spoke in a sharp tone.

"Tyler, I just want to help" Blaze ticked me off.

"If you want to help, then please leave" I pointed to the door. He did as I asked and made his way to the hallway and walked off. Looking at the others they had shocked looks on their faces. "I'm being discharged soon so don't worry you guys" they looked at me worried.

"That's fine we'll see you later then" Flora spoke and the rest of them left. Then Eevee walked in the room.

"That was quite the outburst you had" he spoke calmly.

"So what if it was" I snipped at him.

"There's no need to get snippy at me. I only want to help" everyone wants to help but then they put a knife in my back.

"I'll pass" I responded quickly.

"I'd just like you to think about it. I'm going to be a new professor here, as well as a new social worker. Maybe sometime come to my office" he left a business card on the table and made his way out of the room.

I read the card " Michael Tailside" in quotes under Michael was Milo. I guess that's what he wants to be called.

'Maybe some counseling will do you some good. It's not only physical for you to maintain power but also mental' I was being lectured in my head.

'I thought you were a mindless beast who is grumpy and ready for a battle' I think I struck a nerve.

'I'm not always mindless I still think and plus I have to take care of you since you keep getting hurt' I have to agree with him on that. 'Can you refer to me as my name instead of the second person' he let out a growl.

'Being honest I don't know your name' I sweat dropped thinking about it.

'It's Axel you half wit!" It was as if he snarled at me.

'Sorry Axel' I apologized.

'No problem, but we should go pick up Lucifer and go home'

'You say that as if you're in control' I laughed at him and I heard him scoff. Good to know he has a soft side and isn't always a dick.

(The Continental Champion - Inazuma Eleven)

I can't believe that the Chroma League is about to start and only 50 teams made it this year. The sound of the fanfare I just love. After my little incident after the festival I've gotten better and I'm less reluctant to talk to some. My fur is still dyed black and I now more or less give control to my inner self known as Axel, it would seem my Devil form evolved and took on a personality after fusing back together. Since my other forms come from rocks unlike this form those weren't affected. I also decided not to tell my friends about my new alter ego, plus he treats me right with care.

"Tyler, are you ready" While walking I look up to Arthur.

"Yeah, I'm good" I instantly looked away and spoke in a hushed voice. I've honestly avoided talking to everyone besides Volcan and Gladion. If I do speak it's not for long. I have gone to a few social gatherings but I rather spend time with my son and teaching him to draw. Lucifer likes the art I create and I am happy to make some just for him.

Focusing on the League we're waiting for the announcements to start and we saw Giratina walk up on stage.

"Hello everyone and welcome to the Ferrum Region Chroma League. You are probably alarmed to see me on stage because the dean is supposed to be up here, but due to past events his position was surrendered to me. I'm your new Dean, please call me Dean Dark" You could hear murmurs across the field about how the devil is our dean and how he may be harsher than MT. "Now let me explain how the first stage will work. In this stage only fifteen teams will move forward. Reason for that is the Iron League champions get to get through this first part as a prize for winning last year" I would've thought they would make it so the winners fight the iron champions but I guess I can't complain.

"Now each team will be given a flag, and an area within the region to protect it. If it gets stolen you lose and can't participate further. When you steal a flag you have to bring it to your base. No one can steal the flags you stole, but if someone stole your flag you do have a chance to get it back before they leave your designated area. Do not worry about destroying the towns because we have set up strong barriers all across the region to prevent collateral damage. Now if you look at your Orb screens your team's designated areas will be shown and you have twenty minutes to prepare before the first stage starts" after his explanation he walked off stage and students started trampling for the exit.

"Ugh amateurs" I sigh to myself. I then mentally locate Jason and Arthur and then open my orb. It would seem we have about three blocks of Neos city, I'm not sorry if they get motion sickness from this. I focus on creating psychic energy in the center of my body and close my eyes. When I open them three of us are on a rooftop. I then look toward Arthur and James and the alarm on their faces.

"What the fuck was-" You then see Jason not look to well and it all comes out.

"Maybe warn us about that" Arthur went to Jason's side patting his back.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

"Oh, yeah. The side effect of Psychic travel includes motion sickness, headaches, Profusely sweating and loss of appetite" I explain while twirling my finger not caring what's going on around me.

"You sound like your adver-" He lets out another guttural sound.

"You might want to focus on not losing your lunch," I spoke with a grin. I thought being angry at Jason was behind me but it felt so good.

"This is kind of your fault" Arthur retorted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Here" I pull out a small vial and pour a bit of the liquid on my hand and rub it on Jason's skin. "The side effects last for half a day but this remedy should stop it for the next few hours" I did the same to Arthur.

"What is in this remedy?" Arthur asked.

"Noivern scales'' I stopped and their reaction was priceless. " Along with other healing ingredients, Holy water, crushed noivern scale, mint, ginger, a small bit of full heal," I put it away. Fun fact I read how Noivern scales have many healing properties, and if mixed with basic healing items it can make the effects greater.

"Okay, Now we need a plan" Jason spoke looking at me with a glare.

"How about one or two of us head out searching for flags while the others guard the flag" for a major idiot I give him props for a basic idea.

"How about we also add working in shifts, So the others get to participate" I added the idea.

"That can work, Jason you get to capture flags first" Arthur opens his Orb screen pulling up our profiles and connecting it to his so he can see our status and whereabouts.

"What if I want to defend?" he retorted as if upset he gets to cruise around for flags.

"Really?" I questioned him.

"I want to go, don't get me wrong" I rolled my eyes.

"Then, please don't complain" Arthur face palmed. A screen then appeared before us counting down from ten. "Jason, if you can't handle an opponent don't be afraid to fall back" Arthur called out to Jason who was walking to an edge of the field. The screen then said begin.

"Don't worry, I got this" He then starts flying away, leaving me with Arthur. I decided to take a look at our flag. It was purple with an emblem of darkus. I mean dragons are strong, but I didn't expect Arthur to correlate strong dragons with darkus bakugan, I chuckled a bit. Arthur noticed but I went back to my normal composure. We sat around for a bit and I was stubborn. I didn't want to talk, but lord knows how long I will be stuck with him and have nothing to do.

"What was last year's first stage like?" I asked and I didn't bother to look at him.

"Last year was a battle race across the region and the first sixteen members of a different line that crossed the line moved on. The fastest time was two days" I listened so time could go by faster. Every now and then asking the occasional question. Though after some time we heard an explosion and some screaming.

"What was that?" I looked in the direction I saw fire.

"I can take a wild guess," Arthur spoke, getting defensive. Not even seconds later Jason returned with two flags.

"I knocked out two teams" his face lit up putting it next to ours.

"Jason did you get a look at the other teams?" Arthur gave Jason a skeptical look.

"Yeah," he spoke with a bit of sass and Arthur just gave him a look of ' I'm waiting'. "It would seem team Overcrest leader Volcan and Snap have let loose on a rampage" Jason laid down as if needing rest.

"Tyler, you're up and do not cross paths with Volcan, even if you're his friend it won't matter" I rolled my eyes and started to fly off the building.

" I know asshole" with that I started scouting from the sky. It's only been about three hours in and massive fights have broken out and only thirty teams remain.

'We can easily make it twenty seven' Axel started speaking again.

'As much as I want that, knowing what you have done. You will only cause more chaos and if I let you do what you want many pokemon will be injured' I scoffed. All I got was a growl in response. ' thought so, we're doing this my way' I flew into the mountains which alone took me an hour and it would seem that there are a fair amount of teams still left here. I then noticed a familiar team from the opening ceremony; Team Overheat. Though if it was just Polo there I wouldn't notice their team because she is now an Infernape. It would seem they were all there waiting for someone to attack. Maybe it won't be the best if I take their flag.

'Come on you husie, let me do this' I growled back at him.

'Do you ever think strategy?'

'Yeah, let's take them on. You may surprise yourself. Plus all we need is their flag' for once he sounded logical.

'Fine' I flew down, but made sure they couldn't see me. I clinged to the mountain side which was behind their field of vision. It's also helped that it was getting dark and I'm great in the dark.

(Hope Ster - Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth)

"Intruder has entered your zone!" I heard an automated voice. I didn't realize teams were notified when an opposing team enters.

"Where, I can't see anything" Dusty sounded annoyed.

"It would seem only one has entered and by the smell it's a dragon" Penma, I could tell, was sniffing the air. I didn't know Dragonites had a good sense of smell.

"Can you tell us where?" Polo asked.

"All I can say is they are close by" They were now on alert.

'You got to move' Axel was giving me instructions.

'I know' I retorted back annoyed. I ripped off a rock on the mountain side and let it fall kicking off more rocks, while I took to the sky.

"The mountain side!" Dusty Rushed to where I was but found nothing. Here's my chance to snatch their flag.

"No you're wrong, the dragon is above us" Penma looked up at me. I was mid dive. "Take this!" She simultaneously shot a Hyper Beam. In close quarters like this it is easier for me to dodge rather than taking this from a long range. I barreled and rolled to the right landing on the ground and slid a bit. I dusted myself off and got up.

"I have to give you props for figuring out where I was so quickly" I smiled.

"Tyler, you have a lot of nerve coming here on your own, if you think you can take the three of us on alone, you're wrong" Polo ran up to me with a fire punch, using steel wing I hardened my wings and blocked the attack.

"I'm not here to fight, I'm only here for the flag" I pushed Polo back. Lucky me I felt more fortified with my defense.

"Not without a fight you're not" They started to surround me and as they spoke a red aura flared around me. I mean using stat boosters is one way to make this fair. Dusty charged at me first, his tail coated in steel, he was aiming for my back. All I did was jump.

"With one stage speed boost why does he seem so fast?" Dusty was frustrated. Following me jumping up was a cyclone of fire.

"How do you like my fire spin" It stung a bit, but now I'm trapped.

"Nice job Polo, Now Penma you're up" Dusty commanded and I could only guess what was about to happen. I fanned the flames with my own hurricane and instead of there being a basic fire it turned to an inferno. As if my prediction was right I could see a bolt of blue aimed at the Inferno, but didn't pierce it.

"That should have worked!" Penma was alarmed her Ice beam didn't work.

"Synergy burst ready!" I could hear my Orb call out.

"Let's do this. Burst!" I fan the Inferno to the point it expands out through the area and I was released from the vortex. My scales were scorched a bit but I'm fine.

"Seems like your gauge is full, well so is mine" Polo gave off a powerful aura, while I was mega evolved.

'Come on, charge at her!' Axel's voice sounded sadistic as if wanting me to inflict major pain.

We charged at each other using steel wing and fire punch. Even if we were matched for power my speed was greater allowing me to land more hits. "Let's make this more interesting" two more Polo appeared next to her. One came at me with Fire punch, and the other with Thunder punch. It would seem she's taking advantage of Ferrum standards and using more then four moves. Fighting two of her was a bit much both striking me and sending me sliding back. Then they stopped their relentless assault and another Penma came at me with a flurry of strikes.

"How do you like that?" She then moved back and the clones disappeared. "They hurt as if they were the real me" She smirked. I was panting after taking that many hits. Penma and Dusty were still not around, but I probably don't have much time left.

"Synergy Gauge low, Warning!" That's not good to hear. I have to do this quickly. I let another red aura flare around me. While in synergy form the stats raise by two instead of one. I then return to normal.

"Seems like your time is out" Polo spoke with confidence.

"Not necessarily" I pull out a noivern fusion crystal and press into it, a white light flashes in the area. I can't use this for long since I spent most of my energy in synergy. When the light was gone I was slimmer and white with red eyes. I charged at her using my wing as if it were a blade. She tried to block it but misjudged my power in this form and the stat boosts and she was sent into the mountain side. I quickly turned back to normal and grabbed the flag with my talons and flew off. If I was a second late I would've been caught by Dusty and Penma.

"He hasn't left our Zone, we need to catch him!" Dusty's voice was a bit closer than I liked and I looked behind me and there he was on Penma's back.

"You won't escape" I could see her charging a blue beam again. I can't take a hit like that and the exit is so close.

' Fly down the mountainside to the forest by the time you exit the forest you'll be out of their zone' I was alarmed Axel was giving me advice. 'Don't Hesitate! Go, Now!' he yelled.

'Right' I did as he told and dodge the beam.

"Try my multi strike" I did my best to dodge and she hit me twice both on my tail and I could feel it start to freeze up, I can't stop now though. I pulled up right above the forest. My body was very hot and I don't know how much longer I could keep it up.

"Penma I'm going to do it, send me up" all I heard was his voice. I didn't bother to look back. I then noticed he was shot up in the air in front of me. A thundercloud struck his body and electricity was being shot in every direction. And it didn't help that Penma was still shooting at me. I would teleport but that requires focus and I can't focus right now. I then thought why not take a page out of Blaze's book. I focus electricity around me and my body moves quickly and any shot of electricity from dusty gets absorbed. I was out of Penny's range and made my way through the gate.

"Team Inferno eliminated! Surrounding teams zones Extended!" You hear the automated voice. I was still a ways away from Neos city and I was exhausted from getting one flag. I stopped using wild charge and landed in the grass though I had to go through recoil of using wild charge and absorbing all of Dusty's electricity. I can't move.

"Orb, message board for Arthur and Jason" The screen popped up with our group chat. "Voice message, I'm on the outskirts of the mountain and used all of my energy capturing team inferno's flag. I need help, I can't move too well. Send" The Orb screen went away. I took down a whole team on my own, well not really but I was able to steal their flag.

'Nice job though I could have done it with half the effort' I rolled my eyes at the sound of Axel' I dropped the flag from my talons and rested. It's been a while since I slept in my origin form and I'm too lazy to turn back. I let my eyes rest as I wait for Arthur or Jason.

Action: That's a nice fight and a nice way to kick off this month's four chapters.

Arthur: The song was nice too.

Dusty: I'm the team leader yet Polo got the spot light.

Penma: Stop complaining were only here to appear every now and then *Giggles*

Polo: Just proves how much Action prefers me over any of you.

Jason: Oh yeah, you want to bet.

Polo: Bet!

Jason: *Growls* -

Action: Let's not start here and plus they are eliminated.

Tyler: I hope you liked today's chapter and the next one is already up so stay tuned.

Arthur: Action also likes to hear your thoughts on today's chapter, so don't forget to fav, follow and review.

Jason: We'll see you soon.

Tyler, Arthur & Jason: Bye!
