Action: I'm ready for another chapter.

Blaze: Alright let's keep the vacation going.

Shun: I don't think this chapter or the next will be us vacationing.

Michael: I think Shun is right.

Blaze: Rats!

Chris: Hey!

Blaze: Sorry, Blast!

Chris: Better.

Tyler: Guys we have a chapter to get through.

Action: He's right, anyway Jamie disclaimer.

Jamie: Action does not own pokemon or music links if any.

~Tyler's~

SoI pitched the idea of doing a training camp with my friends and they actually agreed with me. The training center is located in Heat Rock and we will be there for five days. Blaze, Shun, Chris, Xavier, Aroura, Michael and I are going. Aroura said this was a great excuse to get away from her brother and honestly from what I saw I don't blame her. RIght now Xavier is driving us through Dark Moon because we had to pick Michael on our way to the training center. It would be another hour before we reach the border of Heat Rock but just by looking out the windows no wonder they call this place Dark Moon because it's unbelievably dark here even during the day. I've been here before to go to Michael's house but he lives at the edge of Dark Moon. There is light the closer you get to the borders I presume.

"Hey, Blaze" I turned to him and he was in the back seat while I was shotgun.

"Yeah" he turned off his Orb screen.

"I have two questions, one can you jailbreak my Orb and second I saw that there is a contest this sunday the day after camp finishes" I got a quizzical look from Shun when I asked my first question.

" Yes and no" he put his hand out as if asking for my orb. I took out my orb which is in the form of my earring and gave it to him. It only took him five minutes before he handed it back to me. " Here, and there is now a log info page with all the new features you were given, you should check that out later. The contest I won't enter because I already have four ribbons, I won't get my final one till you have four" Blaze said with a smirk.

"Talk about competitive" my brother Xavier let out a chuckle.

"I'll compete in that contest with you, I actually have three ribbons even though I major in fighting" I heard from Chris.

"I'll join too even though I'm really a pokeperformer I already have two of my three princess keys" Aroura chimed in as well. "My stagehand is my brother, Jamie I used him for both my previous wins" Aroura then explained how performances can range from just the performer to having three others on stage with you but they can't be other contestants.

"Alright then now I have competition" I was excited.

"Tyler just because you were gone doesn't mean others are not trying to get stronger. Some of these kids that will soon become freshmen are strong. If you remember Jai who is a freshman now is already one of the top students at evergreen" I nodded as Xavier explained.

"Okay, I meant to say some friendly competition" I forget my brother likes to give me a hard time. We continued mindless chatter till we reached the training center and it was huge.

"Chris come with me, we're going to check in" Chris and I hopped out the car and was blasted with a heat wave. My Orb said it was 108°F.

"Wow it is hot out here and it's winter, I would hate being here during the summer" I heard Chris comment. To my knowledge only alolan like pokemon live here along with fire, rock, ground, ice, steel, grass, and flying pokemon live here. We walked inside the main building and it was a little cooler in here than it was outside. There was a Kommo-o behind the front desk.

"Hello, I'm John, how may I help you" That name sounded familiar but I haven't heard it in a while.

"Hi John, I'm Tyler and my friends and I made a reservation to be able to train here" there was shock apparent on his face.

"Tyler, like the winner of Holy Road!" I nodded. "Okay here you guys will be in building A and have rooms A1-A4 there are two beds in each room, there are communal bathrooms on each floor. When you are done getting settled come back here so we can handle everything else" he handed us a blank white card. "Bring that back when you're done you will need that to unlock the doors ro get into the building along with the rooms" I thanked him as we walked out the building. We made our way to the car and I told Xavier what John told us. We followed the path which led us to building A. We pulled out our luggage and everyone was blasted with the heat wave and groaning.

"I don't understand why you guys can't bear the heat" we looked at Aroura who wasn't being affected by the heat.

"Speak for yourself, you're an ice and rock type" Michael groaned at her.

"Guys let's not complain and just get inside" Xavier led us in and it was way cooler in here. Instantly to our right was a room with a poker table and pool table and to our right a set of stairs and we made our way up them to the second floor and straight forward was a tv room and to our left a pair of double doors leading to rooms. Through the doors there were rooms on both sides of the hallways there looked to be eighteen rooms. Our rooms were directly to our right. Rooms one and three on the tight side of the hallway and two and four on the left side.

"Who wants the first room?" I unlocked the door. The room was like a small college dorm room, something I'm used to.

"I'll take it," Shun and Xavier said in unison. They both walked in and I closed the door behind them.

"Okay then next up is room two" I unlocked the same style as before.

"Blaze you and me" Michael sounded very enthusiastic.

"Sure no problem there" Blaze agreed and entered the room with Michael.

"The third room, do you two want to be together?" I asked Aroura and Chris.

"I don't mind" Aroura shrugged.

"I don't either" Chris walked in followed by Aroura.

"I guess this room is for me" I unlocked the door and it was the same layout as the rest. I dropped my duffle bag on my desk and sat in the chair. I looked in the mirror to see what I was wearing. "I need to change into something more comfortable" I was wearing a black shirt hoodie where there was a sword sheathed in shield, the sword being blue and the shield red with gray sweatpants. I went through my bag and pulled out my clippers and a change of clothes. I took off my shirt and grabbed a towel heading to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror all at my fur, I wasn't able to take care of it for three months and it's long and shaggy as well as bothering me. At this point it's a foot in a half long. I tried braiding it to make it shorter but it's greasy and disgusting. I cut it down to a reasonable four inches and that is a lot of heat off my neck I then washed it getting rid of any lingering hairs, finally I dried it. That only took me about ten minutes, I'll probably dye it and do something else with it later. It looked like a cotton ball around a Frogedier's neck but a bit smaller. I went back to my room and changed into some comfortable clothes. I decided to wear blue shorts and a blue wife beater with the logo of ferrum on it. I then looked in the mirror and checked myself as well as making sure my eyes are their natural color of gold.

"Tyler! We're waiting for you!" I could hear Xavier outside my door.

"Coming!" I opened my door and was greeted by everyone and they also changed to accommodate for the change in weather. Blaze was wearing the same thing as me but it was purple. Along with Michael and Chris, though their shirts said Unova. Michael's was green, and Chris was orange. Aroura was special and hers was black and said Kalos and Shun wore black shorts and a black hooded shirt with Giratina on it, but it was sleeveless.

"Alright we're ready let's get going" Chris was energetic while leading us out the building to the scorching outdoors. There was a basketball court and a few picnic tables, some pokemon were out and about having fun but they just looked our wway and waved. We followed a walkway leading us back to the main building and made our way to the front desk where John is.

"You're back. I have everything prepared" he pointed to a camera that was aimed at the wall. "I'll need to take your photos for your cards so you can navigate the area" we did as he said, taking our turns with our photos. When we finished he gave us a lanyard with a white card attached to it with our photos on it. "These allow you to get into all the facilities and the cafeteria, also these allow you into seminars if any. If you want I can give you a tour" I could see he winked at me and flexed his muscles a bit. I felt Shun nudge me in my stomach and I can only imagine the smile he had on his face.

"We'll pass, I've been here before" we looked at Xavier who led us to the stairs behind the front desk. "That guy never stops flirting doesn't he. See you John" Xavier waved to him while we went down the stairs.

"Xavier, you have cute friends. Why kill my chances?" we heard the dragon whine as we kept walking.

"That was my brother you ass!" Xavier yelled as he led us out a door at the bottom of the stairs, but looking behind us I saw the cafeteria. "Always a horn dog, anyway welcome to the training center. Looking around there were so many pokemon with popular backgrounds roaming around, there were multiple practice contest halls, gyms, stages. They even had a gift shop and a museum.

"Xavier, you never said you were here before!" The shock in Chris's voice was full of shock. We all looked at Xavier skeptically.

"Oh yeah, after becoming a new gym leader I was brought here to train extensively" he rubbed his shoulder as if shying away. "You guys are free to do what you want, join a seminar, sign up to train under a professional, train by yourself, do a challenge. Though remember the cafeteria has specific times when breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, snacks are always served and they are healthy ones, remember that" after he said that we all split up to do our own thing. I went straight to the contest hall and saw they had four separate buildings for it.

I read a sign and it said "This is where the bi-annual Spotlight Grand Festival is held, only the best performers of grand festivals are invited" I've never heard of such a thing. I then looked at a list and saw that an older coordinator that trained Wallace, known as Juan will be here later today at 1PM. It was only 10AM now so I could get a bit of practice in before that happens. Making my way inside building three I had to use my card to get in and I was greeted with a white hallway and a set of stairs. The signs said the stairs lead to audience seating so I followed the signs marked contest participants. I reached some double doors and went through them. I was amazed there were four battle fields/stages and only two other pokemon in here but they were practicing together. I decided to warm up by training my special abilities. I practiced transforming into each form and making it last for five minutes. It went smoothly without any pain.

Now to practice my routine before everything happened. I returned to my normal form and used dragon pulse followed by heat wave, now I use psychic. I made the pulse into three purple balls then they were trapped in a sphere heat case. Now boomburst causes the heat sphere to shatter into red particles, releasing the pulse spheres. I catch them and thanks to constant heat and high pressure soundwave a glass case form around the dragon energy turning them into balls. Inside you could see the dragon energy moving. Juggling while dancing with them as if a gymnast. I lost my footing once but it didn't stop me. Now time for the finisher, I used psychic to move the balls in a triangle formation above me. I then made a purple triangle aligned with the balls, there was a rose symbol in the center. Now, to jump through, as I made it through what I wanted didn't happen and even worse the whole thing exploded. It felt like someone shoved me into the stage ground.

"Crap! That hurt like hell" I grit my teeth.

'I heard that' I heard Shun's voice in my head. I then heard two voices come my way.

"Young man are you alright?" I open my eyes after having them closed from the pain. I saw Milotic and Kingdra. "Here let patch you up" before I could say anything, a ring of water encased me and I could feel all my wounds heal.

"That should make you feel better for now" the Milotic guy gave me his hand and I took it to get up. "That was quite the performance except for how it ended" I laughed as the milotic guy pointed out what I was doing.

"Wallace you know it's rude not to introduce ourselves" the Kingdra guy scolded Wallace.

"How rude of me, I'm-" I didn't let him finish.

"The champion of Hoenn and top coordinator Wallace" I squeld that. "And you're Juan a top coordinator as well, along as a gym leader" I was fanboying so hard.

"So you do know who we are" Juan let out a small smile.

"Yes I'm a fan" I could feel my eyes sparkle.

"We should say that to you. You are quite the elegant fighter and not only that but winner of the Holy Road tournament to boot" I was receiving praise from Wallace. I can die happily now. "I've seen the contest you've appeared in as well and can say you are a sight to behold that you randomly stopped appearing on stage. Something happened?" Wallace is as energetic as they show on TV.

"Well yes, I'm not able to control my power as well as I used to and you just saw my latest routine that I plan to use in Ferrum's grand festival blew up in my face" I dusted myself off.

"Ah, I see but don't you only have two ribbons?" I nodded toward Juan who was looking at my data as we spoke.

"Hah, Two ribbons. Why even think about the grand festival, the festival is in three months and in four months you only got two ribbons!" I heard a shriek followed by laughter. I saw a Gabite appear on the field.

"Ursula, how rude to interrupt our conversation" Juan calls out to Gabite.

"Sorry, just being honest" she grumbled. It was true I only had two ribbons and the grand festival is closing in.

"Going back to what I was saying, you have some very special abilities and maybe focus on that instead of transformation appeal. Do you have any other routines?" Wallace was so gentle with his words.

"Yeah, sure" They left the stage after those words.

Using heat wave then Psychic I made it so the heat did a sort of fire dance and then I trapped myself in the sphere of heat. I then used Hurricane to fan the flames.

"What are you doing! You'll get hurt!" I could hear Juan but I ignored him. With a quick movement the sphere exploded in a puff of smoke then turned into red sparkles. When they saw me I was in my devil Inccubus form.

"Wow" I could hear Wallace.

"Now to wrap this up!" I used poison tail and knocked up a giant stone from the stage in the air. It was soaked in poison like energy. When the rock came back down, I used Close combat to smash it into small pieces and it then looked like it was raining poison.

"Wow what an amazing performance from hell" Wallace clapped his hands.

"Thank you I worked hard not to burn myself whenever I do this one" I rubbed the back of my neck.

"I have to say not bad but anyway I'm out see ya" Ursula left as quick as she came.

"Yes I was actually worried" I saw worried look on Juan's face

"Though if I were you I would've gone for a powerful finish instead of flashy because the whole performance was flashy so maybe give the judges something to be excited about" I listened to Wallace's advice.

" Would you like to practice some more and possibly stay for our little seminar?" I nodded in agreement and I got back to work. I got a lot of tips from these two and they were so nice. I spent the rest of the morning training along with the afternoon. Their seminar was on how to keep the audience's attention and how double performance contests work since they will start double contests next month. After the seminar and some more training I went back to the rooms so I could take a shower. Who knew all that performance training would make you sweat so much. After cleaning myself I went back to my room and changed into some green shorts and green shirt. I looked at the time and it was six, time for dinner, but I didn't want to go yet so I pulled out my dye. I decided to keep it like the cotton puff it is and dye it green. It didn't look bad. I thought it looked sort of like my flowers when I go delta. I looked at the time again and it was 7PM. I guess I'll go eat. I made my way to the cafeteria and found Aroura, Chris, and Shun at a table together. I sat next to Chris and across from Shun and Aroura.

"Tyler you missed it, I can across the Charizard Alan and he used his mega X form" Chris was ecstatic.

"Chris you know James right he has a Mega XY form and when you see that Mega X pales in comparison" I say lazily like I'm tired.

"Yeah, but I bet Alan is still stronger" I'll agree with that though.

"Well, I met Cheren the Stoutland, earlier and Bianca the Emboar, they are so nice" Aroura let out a content sigh.

"I met my older bro-, I mean legendary Dialga for some reason he worksout here and assists from time to time" nice save Shun.

"Cool I did hear even some legendaries come here" Aroura ate some cold noodles.

"I finished eating so I see you guys back at the rooms if you want to play any games" Shun got up and left which his seat was soon replaced with Michael and his big plate of food.

"Tyler, you got to try this" before I could respond. Michel shoved food in my mouth. It tasted as if riding waves on a spring breeze.

"This is good, what is it?" I asked while swallowing.

"Peppered Mackerel is what they say it is, want some more?" I nodded yes. " Say ahhh'' I blushed and looked at everyone around the table and they weren't paying attention. I then did as Micheal asked and he fed me. "Good boy" I blushed more as he treated me like a poochyena. The food was delicious though. "There is a ton of food here and they even make custom orders though there is only healthy food here" I nodded and made my way to where the food was being served. It was like I was in heaven, more like I was at a Food wars buffet. Normally I would eat meat but I went to the vegetable terrines and took two and took a vegetable meat dish called a Chou Farci. Then I got a healthy buerger I asked for a custom order. I then made my way back to my seat and Aroura must've left.

"Tyler your back and woah some fancy food" Chris was giving off small spurts of shocks.

"Tyler alot of that food outside of here is fairly expensive" Michael agreed.

"Yeah, that means to stock up on it now" I smiled while eating my vegetable terrine. It was so sweet and bitter and it was just a bit creamy. I then took a piece of my Chou Farci and the taste of meat mixed in with the vegetable is like a fluffy dream. It's amazing that it is fairly sturdy like a burger. I can hold it in my hand and it won't fall apart. I felt like I was in a food dream.

"I never thought you could look so cute while eating but you've done it" The slick comment from Michael I blushed while sending him a glare, while Chris laughed.

" I hate both of you" I let out a low growl. Chris just hugged me and nuzzled into me.

"No you don't you love us" I could feel some light shocks coming from Chris.

"Yeah, about that" I roll my eyes and continue eating.

"Hey Tyler, you want to go for a walk with me after you're done?" Chris let go of me and I could see his tail swishing back and forth. What a sudden mood change.

"Uh, sure" I ate my piled food quickly and put away my dishes.

"I'll be here till the place closes" Michael said as we passed by the table on our way out.

"Okay, see you later Michael '' I waved to him as we left through the back door. I was instantly hit by a wave of cool air and it felt nice against my scales. "So Chris where are we going?" I asked. He started walking and I followed.

"Don't ask, it's a little place I found while competing in this scavenger hunt earlier today" I was a bit jealous that I didn't compete as well but then again I got to meet Wallace. "Tyler I just wanted to catch up with you, it's been a while" Chris smiled as we kept walking.

"Well, I mean everything has been well. I'm friends with Arthur and Jason again" I smiled but Chris frowned.

"You think I don't know what happened?" I gave him a shocked look. "You think I wouldn't notice you suddenly disappearing from the media" he said it so softly as if hurt. "I was able to figure out what happened thanks to your brother. He went through so much trouble to figure out if you were okay" I then thought Xavier knew. "Then to find out a legendary Pokemon wanted your power and after defeating him you blacked out after getting your power back" I kept walking while letting him talk. "Xavier was only able to find this out by tapping into the security footage in Ferrum and he told Michael too, but I'm guessing your number one fan Aroura doesn't know" I just thought I have to give my brother more credit for his abilities with a computer if not mistaken I think Blaze made the firewalls to not allow anyone to hack any tech in Ferrum. "Now, you're hanging out with the guy who assisted in the whole incident" I don't know why but that got me mad.

"You only know what you saw, you didn't go to school with him" Chris gave me a shocked expression but went back to normal instantly.

"Thanks to him your own power blew up in your face earlier and yesterday hurt you and Aroura" I blinked wondering how he knew both of those situations. "Yes, I've been watching you from afar to make sure you're safe" We came to a stop in front of a statue. It was Victini the pokemon said to bring good luck. "For all of your misfortune I thought I could bring you to Victini and you could possibly touch the statue and all your bad luck can go away" Chris took my hand and placed it on the statue.

I turned to look at Chris "I don't think it'll be that simple" he then looked me in my eyes.

"Shut up and let me help you" he then kissed me and I welcomed it. It was beautiful as if I was dreaming. We were under the moonlight and the stars shining in the night , all we could hear was the light splash of a water fountain behind us. The kiss was light and simple. I broke the kiss. "Just don't make me worry" I giggled a bit.

"Fine, but Chris I should be heading back, it's getting late" he looked disappointed, but understood.

"Okay Tyler, I'll be out for a bit longer, but goodnight" I made my way back to the main building and saw that Michael was gone so I went back to the rooms. Inside the building I saw Aroura, Xavier, Shun, and Blaze playing doubles pool, so I didn't bother them. I made my way up the stairs and when I passed by Michael's room the door opened.

"Oh, hey Tyler. I was just about to go to your room and see if you were there. Um, is it okay if I come in and we talk?" I thought why not I was only planning on drawing anyway.

"Sure" I unlocked the door and let Michael in first. He unloaded a ton of snacks on my desk I didn't know he was holding.

"The snacks are good too" he gave me as a defense followed by a goofy grin. I closed the door and sat on my bed while Michael sat on the desk chair. He tossed me some healthy chips and he opened one himself. "So I had an idea, why not do a funny vlog/Q&A while we're here. I'll post it on Instagram" I gave him a skeptical look as if he had something planned. "It'll only be two minutes long trust me" he pleaded with me and gave me puppy eyes.

"Fine" I gave him a defeated sigh.

"Okay, the list of questions appears on the phone and when we answer them the next question will appear" he set up his phone on the desk and sat next to me. "Hey everyone, it's me Michael and I'm joined today by an old friend Tyler" I waved. "Tonight we'll be answering some questions I got from you guys while on our way here to the training center. First one is 'What did we first do when we got here?'" Michael looked at me as if telling me to go first.

"Well I went to the contest halls to practice for my next performance and got to meet Wallace" I gave the camera a wink at the end.

"Well I actually went to the pool they have and did a bit of water training, not as great as meeting the infamous Wallace though" Michael, growled a bit.

"Next question ' What do you think is the best thing there?'" I laughed a bit while looking at Michael and he growled and had a hint of a blush on his face.

"Well the best thing here is definitely the food. All of you know my weakness is some good food" he gave his signature fang smirk.

"Possibly the activities you can do outside of training" I said as if I was thinking about it.

"Weak" he dragged out his word.

"Shut up, last question 'who do you have a crush on?'" Both Michael and I blushed, not prepared for that question. "Well I got out of a relationship not too long ago with James the Charizard, but don't worry it was a mutual thing" I tried to hide my blush while talking.

"Well, for me I broke up with Lanion the Zoroark at the beginning of the semester, but I shouldn't have even dated him. He's a cheater. Though my friend over here is very faithful" Michael started to tower over me while I was underneath him. "Look at that he's single" looking in his red eyes it was like he was a predator and I'm his prey, I was pinned underneath him and he got closer and closer to my face. "Just kidding guys we're just friends but I'll see you next time" He started laughing while getting off me and I was really flustered. He grabbed his phone and turned off the camera. " You really thought something was going to happen, you looked like you were just waiting for me to strike and you looked so good too" I couldn't control my blush anymore. I hit him.

"Asshole, don't play games like that, plus the camera was on!" I grumbled, but Michael grabbed my wrists.

"Tyler I wouldn't make a sex tape with you" he paused for a second looking me dead in my eyes. "At Least not yet" he gave me a wink and let me go. "Though I'll head out for the night and leave you alone. See you at breakfast tomorrow and have fun with that" he pointed at my shorts.

"Shut up and get out!" I covered the bulge he was pointing at. Damn I was basically under his spell and had no control, was this what it was like when I was under Arthur's spell. Let's not focus on that, I need to clear my mind. I decided to pull out a new notebook out of my bag and no it's not for art. I decided to write/draw all my performances I used and will use in the performance rounds of contests. I wrote down my first two contest performances along with the performance I practiced with Wallace and Juan along with the performance I need to work on for the grand festival. I looked at the time it was already 10PM.

"Wow I need to get to bed now if I'm going to train early tomorrow" I thought about all the things I can do here while at camp with my friends. This should be fun.
