Zachary wasn't there to explore some Boarder-- and in fact, he didn't even know about it. He was just a new trainer, working through his paces to garner experience. And it led him here. Mt Prye was his go-to spot for finding and making connections with new Psychic Pokemon. It was his first place to visit since he started. He met some amazing ones here, including Haunter, Umbreon, Calypso, Kirlia and Karma-- all Pokemon he considered valuable friends. [break][break] Unlike others, he had the means to teleport in. In the midsts of the forest in Mt. Pyre-- light formed and out appeared three figures. One was Kadabra, one of Zachary's strongest pokemon. With him, also appeared Delphox, also known as Dizzy-- and last but not least was Zachary himself. By teleporting, they bypassed every checkpoint that had blocked off Mt. Pyre. Sadly, Zachary was clueless about the events leading up to here. [break][break] Normally such a teleport would tire out a pokemon, but Tarot, the Kadabra, was resillant and uniquely strong. So strong, it rarely did listen to Zachary's orders and gave him a headache wrangling. [break][break] "Thanks for the Teleport, Tarot," Zachary thanked his Kadabra. To which the Kadabra just gave a grunt as they pressed on. Dizzy just grumbled the same, disliking Tarot's attitude to their trainer. [break][break] The entire area was foggy, a thick mist hanging around the place. Mt. Pyre was no stranger for gloomy weather but once Zachary wished it would be sunny or clear at night more often. IT was so thick, no one could see. Even Dizzy wouldn't light a torch in the fog, being so damp. As they heard the roar of water, they approached a pond of some sort-- and saw a figure on the other end. [break][break] And the figure could see three figures too. All odd shapes. [break][break] "Hello? Someone there? " Zachary called out. [break][break] Being an aggressive Pokemon, Tarot didn't hesitate as he released a telekinetic wave-- blasting water about and likely soaking whomever was there. [break][break] By the time the water, both the splash and the fog was pushed back-- Zachary saw him. [break][break] "A-Arron? Arron Torval? What are you doing here?" Zachary gasped, surprised. [break][break] All the while, Tarot didn't even flinch with an apology. [break][break]

Zachary's expression was wide-eyed and embarrassed to know Kadabra attacked his recent acquaintance he met in the arena. The battle was exciting from when they left it and had a mutual respect for one another. Though that respect probably died now that Arron was drenched by Kadabra. At least he didn't telekinetic dribble him-- yet. [break][break] A hand covered his mouth, both for his error and Tarot's. "Yeah... very, very sorry about that..." Zachary turned to his Kadabra, casting a grumpy look at the neutral-looking Kadabra. "My Kadabra, Tarot, has a BIT of an attitude problem!" Next to him, Dizzy also nodded, giving a barking scold at the Kadabra. [break][break] As if trying to say something, Kadabra used its free hand to use a finger to beckon Zachary closer. Zachary slowly approached, expecting to hear Kadabra make an apology. Perhaps shy. He got up close and... [break][break] WHACK!! Zachary felt the smack of Kadabra's spoon as the Psychic Pokemon hit him with it on his head. [break][break] Zachary shook his head away, and just gave a disapproving glare at his Kadabra. He turned to Arron, even more embarrassed. "Well, I'd like to see you raise a Psychic Pokemon with a superiority complex, as most Kadabras can be..." he replied to him, and rubbed his head. "But what's going on? Why would the league prevent people from coming here?" Zachary was clueless for the reason, as he did just bypass all the security by having Tarot teleport them in. [break][break] With him determine to explore this cave and go with a partner-- who was Zachary to say no. "Well of course. The more, the merrier. I'd be happy to watch your back here. " With that, Tarot decided to be somewhat helpful. Using his Psychic, the waterfall almost parted like a curtain. Dizzy flinched at the sight, revealing the cave inside. Perhaps that was the closest thing to an apology Tarot could do... but Dizzy doubted it. [break][break] Zachary wasn't 100% sure what the goal of Arron's mission here was, but he was all for exploring into the unown, especially when the psychic and supernatural was involved. If there was one thing he was sure of, this place held plenty of mystery to discover and Arron had the intent to discover it too. [break][break]

"Ultra Holes? HERE?!" Zachary asked. He did know a bit about those boundaries, but he didn't know they were here in Mt. Pyre. Clearly drawn to the desire to see these other places and worlds-- Zachary didn't hesitate. With their agreement, they entered the water fall entrance. Everyone was able to get in-- till Kadabra ended the control with dizzy behind them. The waterfall returned-- drenching Dizzy behind them. [break][break] As they entered the cave, they got a good look to see that Dizzy was the only one drenched, looking like a soaked rat-- whom started daggers at the Kadabra. Tarot, however, snickered to himself behind his long mustashe. Dizzy growled and soon stiffened up. [break][break] "Dizzy--wait don't---!!" [break][break] Too late as the Delphox shook, shaking his fur and the spray of water going everywhere. Everyone got a bit of water on them now as the fox speedily dried himself with his fur and fire, only adding to the flames of frustration with Kadabra's antics. [break][break] Arron clearly wouldn't be happy by that too... but the time for humor passed as both Pokemon sensed the unease of mystery in this place. [break][break] However it was then the portal appeared-- and soon they all were falling. A scream came from Zachary as did his other Pokemon. However-- Tarot was pretty Zen as he fell. Dizzy was freaking out, now barking loud as he failed his limbs. With no other choice, Tarot took action to save his 'annoying' comrades. [break][break] Tarot crossed his legs and glowed as he closed his eyes. An aura glowed around him-- and soon too did on Zachary and Dizzy. Their fall slowed, now going into a soft hover by a mysterious energy. It slowed their descent. "Well that was close..." Zachary commented, but soon saw it. Among the other wordly elements,they saw a flame and it took shape-- becoming a small, pointy eared creature. A Victini! Zachary's eyes widened with amazement, seeing the powerful psychic/fire type, just like Dizzy. "Oh my Mew-- a Victini! I never thought I'd see one!" Zachary said, wishing he could befriend it. But sadly it was not willing to be friendly as black flames mixed with its red. Something was wrong! [break][break] Black and red flames came shooting out, attempting to hit them all with its corrupting fire. [break][break] Seeing the incoming attack while they descended, Dizzy took action and took out his stick. He quickly drew a circle of fire in the air, quickly becoming a rainbow of colored flames. With a cry, he threw a Mystical Fire too! The two flames collided, one fighting to fend off the other and overpower them. Dizzy was defending them... but it wouldn't last long. [break][break]

The falling into another place-- and the attacking psychic spirit was making things difficult. Dizzy was fending off as best as he could, but Tarot was indisposed due to using his power to keep them in the air and safely descend. Tarot clearly had an irritated look of focus, keeping them descending while being attacked. The Victini was highly powerful, and fast as Dragapult did its think-- and luckily the ghost attacks were helping. [break][break] If Kadabra could, it would of used Shadow Ball to finish it in one shot-- but Zachary had another idea to help as he took out another Pokeball. [break][break] "We need your help-- PROPHET!!" Zachary shouted as he tossed up another Pokeball.[break][break] Lighth poored out and out came the flapping wings of the Xatu that Zachary had raised. The Xatu, Prophet let out a soft coo as it flew agove them. "Quick-- attack with Nightshade!" Xatu flapped its wings, and as it flew, its eyes glowed with an eerie presence. Dark, distorted energies shimmered around the Victini-- but oddly the ghostly power was not enough to quell the fires of hate that it was radiating. [break][break] "Well, that was a bust!!" Zachary shouted, alarmed by how strong the little psychic Pokemon was. [break][break]

Zachary could of sworn using Prophet's Ghost attack would put some dent into the Victini, but it only made things worse. Even worse-- Arron gave Zachary an annoyed glance as if to say 'are you kidding me?' He just answered back, "Hey, I'm working with what I have here!" he argued back. All the while the Xatu gave a neutral, blank stare at the two, unconcerned by their bickering. [break][break] Arron least gave some constructive criticism, which seemed out of place. "Not sure what you're going for but fine!" Zachary urged and looked for Dizzy! "Dizzy-- Magic Room!" Dizzy answered and quickly glowed. Suddenly the air around them took on a violet hue-- and several cubes of magical boxes appeared-- all of them floating in the air around them. That actually was a clever idea, providing cover, but also giving them a terrain to stand on as Tarot hovered down onto one of the boxes. Same did Dizzy. Zachary too landed on a box, while Prophet still hovered in the air. [break][break] Zachary looked up to Prophet overhead. "Prophet, Future Sight!" [break][break] The totem-pole bird spread his wings out wide, as orbs of psychic power took shape around him. Its eyes glowed, casting them into the future. With a small flash, the orbs vanished from sight. [break][break] Not about to wait around Tarot decided to take advantage, now not using Psychic to keep them airborne. [break][break] "Ka-daaabraa!!" Kadabra took action and aimed at Victini, now gathering fire. An orb of darkness formed before Tarot, becoming larger by the second. With his cry, he followed the ball forward--shooting a Shadow Ball at his target. [break][break]

The fight was a flurry of attacks. Even with them outnumbering the little legendary pokemon, it was still strong against them. No matter what they did, it wasn't going down easily. [break][break] From his perch on the Magic Room's Boxes-- Zachary observed it, but he had nothing he could do more than put his trust in his Pokemon. Kadabra had done well resorting to his Shadow Ball that Zachary helped him learned-- but it seemed Ghost-type attacks were not getting through. It was now or never as Arron gave his shout. [break][break] Zachary gritted his teeth and turned to Dizzy. "Dizzy-- Give it all you got! Psychic now!" Zachary cried. [break][break] FOregoing his fire attacks-- Dizzy used his own Psychic Power. At the same time, so did Psychic. A double-psychic attack, now driven as Victini suddenly released a V-flare attack of its own. However-- an invisible force stopped it. Now aglow in the two's unique aura of psychic control, it was pushing the fire back. Though Zachary gave no order, their connection and the urgency they had to protect their friends-- made them cooperate. [break][break] Victini saw the massive V-shaped fireball start to recede as more of Arrons attacks start to converge...[break][break] And then it happened. [break][break] Prophet the Xatu kicked in, spreading his wings wide in mid air-- as a swirling cloud appeared above Victini. Future Sight went off-- and in the form of a multi-colored, several strikes of lightning that rained down on Victini-- delivering a powerful blow enough to weaken its control-- and its fire backfiring on it. [break][break]

Their attacks were successful-- to drive off the vengeful Victini. Zachary frowned as it flew away, sad he couldn't permanently help the little guy. But with it being so violent, there was no other option. Zachary's train of thought was interrupted with Arron's request. The battle was over and they could try to descend to the ground. [break][break] Dizzy gave Arron a dirty look that said 'Do I look like a dry-cleaner? [break][break] With clever use of his Magic Room, Dizzy began to descend the blocks down to the ground via his Psychic Power. Prophet glided down, and Tarot simply teleported like he liked to do. Eventually, they reached the ground-- but for Zachary, he looked completely lost as he looked up to the 'sky'. It was a totally different color, different look-- even the forest seemed alien to them. They were in another different realm. A pit of worry brewed in Zachary's stomach, wondering how they would get home. [break][break]Arron explained a few things. Especally the avatars. That made Zachary wonder-- as he remembered the members of the Dark Triad had mention that. "Avatars? Well... my biggest question is, you been here before? I trust there is a way back to our world, I hope?" he asked. [break][break] If Zachary wanted to leave-- now was the time. But Zachary sighed, realizing he wanted to explore this place. He just hoped that there was a way out. But there had to be-- otherwise Arron had not returned the first time. Zachary shook his head and looked to him with resolve. "Well, I'm certainly not leaving you here alone. That's for sure," Zachary said with determination. A show of the confidence Zachary had within. [break][break] BONK! Zachary felt the 'swift punishment' of his Kadabra as the pokemon sneak-teleported behind him and gave him a wack of his spoon upside his head. "TAROT!!" Zachary shouted, the moment ruined. [break][break] Dizzy had finished 'toasting' Arron's clothing a little, only to bark at Kadabra for being such a troll. [break][break]
