A/N: This is Milo's new theme.
I was on a cold sheet of metal in one of the school labs while Tyler and Jason were messing with the equipment while Professor Tailside was watching over them.
"Any results?" Tailside asked.
"We aren't finding any and he didn't react to one of our crystals" Jason responded.
"Not only that, but thanks to the info Snap has given us this has been a problem since the winter" This time Tyler responded. They then unstrapped me from the table and I sat up. I could see the professor was just walking around looking at the multitude of screens in the room. From what I could tell it was my data in battles as well as the info they got from scans. What I find weird is that it said 'Compatibility: success' . I don't know what that means, but I can only guess with the info given. It has something to do with the crystal they mentioned earlier.
"If I'm done here, can I leave?" I responded, while stretching.
"Sure thing and here, eat this" Professor tossed me an energy bar. " The stuff we scanned you with drains a lot of energy so this could help" I then noticed he was eating one as well, so I wasn't hesitant in eating it. They didn't let me leave though for another thirty minutes. If you don't understand, I was asked to come in after my incident two days ago to get examined. They wanted to see if I caught the S-virus since I was never truly infected during the outbreak and also a mastermind. It all came up negative though.
"Also since when do you two work together? I know that you are on the same team, but you hate each other's guts" I pointed out.
"So what if we do, as long as we do as we're told there's no problems" Jason scoffed. Though looking behind him I could see Tyler's reaction, it wasn't hatred or anger. His eyes actually softened like he was hurt and lost a friend.
"Whatever, I'll see you guys around" I then made my way out of the lab.

I'm so mad, I just realized what Flora used our match for and Liz is about to have her neck on a stick. She was doing a concert in Neos city and frankly I could give a damn. I found out through Volcan that Flora recorded our match and gave to Liz and Flora's reward was a vacation. What the hell does she even need the video footage for. Was she planning to use it against me because if so, she would've challenged me by now. So now I've come for answers and she can't refuse what I'm about to offer. Though I'm going to play it off as a nice girl like I always do. Plus, she invited me as a special guest. I went up backstage and got all set up. They made sure my mic was set up and my makeup was ready. The mic I was using was a wire so it was hidden.
"Finally you're here. I thought you were going to turn tail and bail on me" Liz voice as always dripping in poison.
" I wouldn't miss one of your concerts for the world" I then noticed Michael and the other backup Ghana and Rumi. "Hey you guys" I waved at them.
"Hey Mona, nice of you to join us" Michael came up to me. "I hope you'll like what we have planned today, but we need to run on stage" Michael ran out on stage with his guitar followed by Liz and the others.
"Hey Neos City!" You could hear the roar of the crowd and I would never have though Liz and her group would be this popular. "I'd like to say tonight's concert is special and here is why. I'm joined by my good friend Mona, who will be singing our songs with us!" I then skip on stage making my appearance.
"Hi Everyone!" I jump around and cheer.
"Before we get started I have a question" Liz started. I interrupted her and it looked like she was prepared for that.
"I'm so glad you invited me out here!" I directed at Liz and I could see she blushed. "Wait, are you finally asking me out on a date?" I dramatized.
"No, actually I was going to ask something else" she then pulled out a remote.
"I know why you truly asked me here" The stage morphed as soon as she pressed a button on the remote. It morphed into a mock battlefield. Now it makes sense why she needed the footage and why she was suspicious a few days ago.

A/N: Liz's Theme Second Version
I was chilling in the commons room in the girls dormitory when she approached me.
"Hey Mona, can you do me a favor?" For once her voice wasn't filled with malice or ill will.
"No" I responded a bit annoyed. Whenever she asks me for anything it takes me hours to get done and consumes my day while she just relaxes. It frustrates me to no end and fun fact about the outfit I got for the opening concert Tyler could have made in half the time.
"Please, this won't take too much time. Can I take you out for lunch and we talk out the details there" I was shocked she said that to the point I dropped the magazine I was reading. She never invites others out and pay for them. I think I blushed at some point, but I think that's from the shock of the situation. Though I shouldn't have gotten excited, we just went inside the dining commons at the bottom of the girls dormitory. We sat down after getting food which I decided to just get a slice of cake, none of the other food deserved to touch my lips.
"What do you want from me, you normally wouldn't go through normal means of talking to pokemon?" I took a bite of the sugary sponge bread and almost moaned at the taste.
"I want your help with my next concert" she looked really nervous as if almost giving her heart to me. Ugh, why would she do that? " I want you to be on stage with me and my crew and sing our songs as a guest star" she then blushed. Is she okay? Before I could truly react I gave her an answer.
"Yes, how could I not" I was shocked by my answer. Though all I could see was the pure joy radiating off her. Out of all the time I've known her, I've never seen her so happy.
-Memory Over-
"Let's make it interesting for the audience and put all of our points on the line!" I cheered and heard the crowd roar.
"I agree, but they also came for a concert. Have any ideas?!" her voice was taunting and all I wanted to do was fight back.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"Of course, if your team would give me a light beat I could lead us in song. First officially accept my challenge" Instantly she accepted and the timer appeared. '3 . . . 2 . . . 1. Battle Begin!'

A/N: Mona's second theme
Kicking off to battle with a tricky beat I was able to get a groove. "Striving for some nice rest! Let's all make it the best! Heading off to dream world here we go!" Making a giant wave appear I rode on it like I was surfing. Heading in Liz's direction but she didn't budge. The wave didn't affect her at all and she was dry and then she let out a scream. Shit, that was Obstruct.
"As I search for the ideal spot with all of my might! Now, it's time for bed so long, good night!" Liz continued my sound in her grim tone. You could hear the roar of the crowd just from our match starting. Liz then went charging at me with blazing speed, coming in direct contact with my body. She used double-edge which I would think she'd be smarter than to use that on a steel type. Next thing I know she chopped me twice across the chest and then kicked me back. Talk about a double whammy of fighting type moves. Even if this is a Ferrum match, she prefers using her actual moves which let's face it the only way she can win. My turn to retaliate, coating the field floor in ice I'm able to skate around with ease.
"I'm a Princess and locked up far away . . . In a demon's castle is where I now stay!" Being as quick on ice as I am I'm able to claw at Liz and get away without her countering and I was able to do this a few times before I went in for a Brick Break right in her stomach. I saw her grit her teeth proving I landed a critical hit but it'll be a bit before she actually gives in. If she thinks she can outdo a princess she's mistaken. Continuing my song "It's so boring, as the days go passing by . . . I end up falling asleep almost every day and night!" I fake a yawn to urk Liz just a bit. I'm sure Lizeretta has more to offer than that. She decided to charge at me once again and this time I was prepared, blasting a flash canon.
"So once again. I enter my bed . . . Snoozing away in my syalist lifestyle" She was continuing my song again and was able to blast past my flash canon. Though she didn't crash into me, instead instantly going for the chops and two sidekicks sending me sliding on the ice. How was she able to get traction on the ice so quickly. "But my pillows and sheets are stiff and cheap! There's no way I can get any sleep!"
"Would you like to help me sleep, Pretty Please!" I winked at Liz.
"Everyone join in!" I heard Michael cheer into the mic. Our fight continued and I went charging at Liz with my claws glowing with a white hue.
"Striving for some nice rest! Let's all make it the best! Heading off to dream world, here we go!" The crowd cheered our song.
"I'm sorry" I faltered for a second. I thought I heard Liz say something. "As I obtain the fluffiest pillow with such ease, erasing my stress and giving me peace!" She then continued the song with the same vulgarity. Her arms glowed as if prepared for a cross chop but then she started spinning on the ice. Forcing the chop to look like a giant 'X'.
"I'm all set and ready to hop in bed already! As I start to slowly close my eyes!" I continued my part a bit panicked. I won't give in, time for an all out blast. I prepared a big ball of light at my beak but not only that I fused it with a ball of blue. Time for Hyper Ice to make an appearance. I blast the beam and Liz is breaking through it getting closer to me.
"I'll be embraced by these soft sheets of mine!" Michael took the lead and sang the last line.
"Now it's time for bed so long good night!" Everyone sang while we were in the mists of seeing who the victor will be. With my beam dispelled and Liz bombarding me with multiple chops, I'm sure it's clear who the victor is. I land on my back sliding on the ice.
"Winner Liz Fang!" That's all I could hear before I completely blacked out.

"Welcome to the second stage ceremony where we congratulate those who have managed to cling on to their points. We have thirty two sophomores, twenty juniors, eight seniors have made it to the second stage!" You could hear the cheers of the crowd but I wasn't fully there. I could care less about what Dean Dark had to say right now. " Here you all can battle whoever you want and take their points, but remember only the students who rank in the top sixteen with points can advance to the third and final stage!" So much excitement is going on and I can tell my friends down there are happy. I could see Tyler, Arthur, Liz, Flora, Volcan, Snap, Jason, James and Axel. I also saw Glitz.
"I wonder if she felt guilty at all," Blaze commented. Shocking me out of my thoughts. I forgot he saw what happened.
"Not only that but we have a special guest from the elemental region Xavier Loft the fire type master. He will be joining in on the festivities as well" You could see the shock of having a gym leader compete in a school festival. " He will only start out with 800 points at the bottom of our ranking list. Now without further ado let's start the special event!" Dean Dark has so much to say I started to yawn. " We will start the second stage tomorrow but right now we will be doing exhibition matches for the top four students of each class. Now look at the screen!" He pointed to the screen and we looked up.
"No surprise Axel was in first place but I'm surprised to see Michael is fighting him which means he got third" I could hear that Blaze was annoyed.
"Look at that the second vs fourth match is James vs Tyler. I hear Tyler never eliminated an opponent, only taking large margins of points" Liz spat.
"That's Tyler for you, very merciful" Blaze spoke out. When I looked at the Juniors screen Volcan was first and up against Dusty, while Snap was seated second up against Polo.
It's weird how not even hours ago I thought I would be down on the field with my friends competing in the second stage. All because Glitz wanted to have fun.

It was early morning and Glitz wanted to watch the sun rise. How could I say no plus her personality change is super cute when the moon is out.
"Ash" Glitz gave me a cute nickname.
"Yeah" I responded.
"Let's have a fight with you and me on the sand" Glitz sprang up full of energy. I didn't see why not we spar all the time and log it in our ORBS.
"Yeah, let's do it" I agreed, accepting her formal challenge.
Then the screen appeared " This match is for all of your points since this is the last match of the final stage" we heard an automated voice and I jumped at that, but it didn't startle Glitz at all.
"Let's see after all of our sparring, who is the best?" She sounded so calm. I then noticed something flying in the sky but couldn't tell what it was.
'3 . . . 2 . . . 1. Battle Begin!' Glitz shrouded the field in complete darkness. In all of our spars she couldn't do that and she struggled to do so after he fought with Tyler. I can't see a thing in here, not even her glowing rings. I then was bashed in my side by what felt like iron. I was sent sliding in the sand but it didn't stop. I was hit again and again. I couldn't see where she was hitting me from. I try to counter by filling the whole area with fairy wind and then mystical fire causing a controlled explosion through the whole field to the point where you could see the force field crack a bit. I could also see Glitz got sent back into the forcefield.
"Talk about not letting up, I know I'm your opponent, but also your girlfriend" I joke a bit.
"That maybe, but we are in the middle of a match so save it for later. I need to finish this before the sun rise" I didn't know what the last part meant but that was odd. With me still being in the air I created a moon blast but instead of focusing the energy to blasted I made a circular gate in front of me so I could dive through it.
"Time to light me up for my new move" I dive through the gate and I'm coated in fairy energy. "Now to add the flames of mystical fire" Falling down like a fairy on fire, I start to spin, adding more speed to my attack. "Take this, Shooting Star!" All she does is get up and prepare herself to embrace the attack.
"You fell right for my trap" and she couldn't be right any further. When I noticed it was too late. She had a small white ball at her nose but once she released it I was done. What I don't understand is how or when she could learn Meteor Beam. I fell back first in the sand and Glitz didn't come to my side to see if I was alright it was Blaze.
'Winner Glitz Midnight!' The automated voice said and that's when I blacked out.

(Memories of you english cover)
It seems that there have been random spikes in unknown power. Prime examples being Snap Gator and Glitz Midnight. Yet they are not one's with dormant power so I wonder why they are being awakened. I look down at the crystals I've had my two assistants collect.
"These couldn't be the source of the problem could they?" I asked myself. When we tested Snap his reactions to the crystals came up negative and when we tested Glitz her reaction came up positive. I wonder, I also keep getting this puzzle. "If there are ten aces and they can bestow power unto others. Why not infect those who do not know and are around them. Only ten can live at a time yet there are more than ten operatives" This is giving me a headache. All I know is that to complete it I need eleven names and I have two being Tyler/Axel and Jason. It's weird to me that the system still correlates Tyler and Axel as one pokemon still. I feel like solving this will take time and I need to focus on my prime directive at the moment.
"Professor, the exhibition matches are starting. Would you care to join me in watching them" Jason barged into my lab out of breath.
"Sure, why not. I've been stuck in my lab all morning anyway" I log out of my super computer and leave the room with Jason. I can never say no to him and I don't mind. I love seeing him happy, it makes me happy.
Action: That took too long to make.
Liz: With school kicking your ass I'd expect it.
Mona: Oh well, at least it's done.

Payton: I heard my name.
Jason: Moving forward, don't forget to fav, follow and review. We'll see you soon
