Once more, the Dark Ones reunited with their sinster master.
"We have failed again to find and bring Frostwraith alive!", yelled the Dark Ones' Master. "Ghetsis proved to be useless after all, or he wouldn't have died like that!"
"My Master, it seems that Luco and Xiroey are also very powerful... perhaps, we could focus our efforts in obtaining their powers?", suggested Palpatine.
"Ah... Lord Sidious... not a bad suggestion. After all, what it matters to us is power. But! Frostwraith is essential to our plans! He's the one!", said the Dark Ones' Master, speaking through the orb, as usual.
"We're aware of that, Master. But for now, we must regroup and focus on our next step.", calmly said Ganondorf.
"Exactly, Lord Ganondorf. Hm.... Muhti hasn't come yet. I'm feeling betrayed by that wretch again. Another failure in my command...", said the Master.
"I will go and reorganize our army with Lords Archimonde and Ganondorf. We must ensure that the next battle will bring victory to us.", prompted Kil'jaeden.
"Wise decision, Lord Kil'jaeden. It pleases me that I still have competent followers, unlike those disgraceful idiots like Spirit, Ghetsis, Ghirahim and Muhti!", responded the Master. "Don't forget to bring Luco and Xiroey too. Their powers are just too strong to be ignored. These three must be brought to my presence... alive! I also want those treacherous idiots Spirit and Muhti in my presence... nothing will delight me more than seeing them torn to shreds!"
"That shall be done, Master.", responded Ganondorf.
---------------------
Frostwraith was in deep thought inside his tent.
"First Xiroey, now Luco... I guess the Battle Frontier tournament will have to wait...", commented Frostwraith.
Picking up his bag, he began to search it, looking for something.
"Where is that thing... ah, found it."
Frostwraith took from the bag a flask with a blue liquid inside.
"I knew I had this useful potion. Hmm... I should learn how to make those Mana Potions. They are a very convenient item to have..."
Frostwraith began to drink it.
"This thing tastes horrible..."
Shortly after, he began to feel his powers returning, but those were still far from their usual levels.
"Better than nothing... now... on to the experiment..."
Frostwraith picked an empty jar from his bag, as well as a syringe. Frostwraith proceeded to take his upper part of the robe off. Frostwraith felt the chilling air of Mt. Coronet in his now exposed upper part of the body. Frostwraith stung the syringe on his left arm and took a sample of his own blood.
"One small drop...", muttered Frostwraith, as he put the sample of his blood on the jar.
Next, Frostwraith put his hand on his chest, close to his heart and used a strange spell that caused him to take a tiny, purple energy ball from his own body, putting in the jar as well.
"I put this in the jar too... hope this works out in the end...", said Frostwraith, slightly unsure of what he was doing.
After dressing the upper robes back, Frostwraith stored the jar on his bag and proceeded to take an orb from his bag.
"Master Hand?", said Frostwraith.
"Ah, Frostwraith. You have anything to report? How's the tournament going? We're preparing our weapon, so you shouldn't worry about it.", responded Master Hand.
"I am sending an important report."
"What happened?"
"The Dark Ones attacked again. They sent Ghetsis who had both White and Black Kyurem to attack us. Luco and Xiroey are unconscious as of now due to complications..."
"Those are bad news... where are you anyway?"
"Mt. Coronet. We have also new allies, such as members of something known as Impact, which Xiroey is part of, as well as a girl named Mari, who came alongside Sonic. I've seen Magolor as well."
"Interesting... that means we must focus on our objective... to find Mesprit and summon Palkia... may I suggest that you split off from the group alongside other members? With Xiroey unconscious, it would be wise to not leave him defenseless."
"Got it. I am taking the angels, Cynthia and Alder with me. I am separating from the group for a while... I'm sure they will handle anything well without me."
"If that's what you think, then it's fine. But, send a message to Sonic. Tell him that we need the 7 Chaos Emeralds."
"As you wish, Master Hand."
---------------
Frostwraith headed outside, accompanied by his Rotom, who remained as his bodyguard.
"You're awake already?", said Pit.
"I just spoke with Master Hand.", responded Frostwraith, ignoring Pit.
"Should be important...", said Dark Pit.
"All right, listen up! The Dark Ones have sent us quite the surprise attack. We managed to escape, but at great cost. We won't have help from Luco as of now. Master Hand suggested that I would find Mesprit, so we could summon Palkia right here."
"Sounds clever.", said Ness.
"Also, Sonic. Master Hand wants you to find all 7 Chaos Emeralds. We're going to need them to empower the weapon Master Hand is building. The Time Gears are simply not enough."
"No problem!", responded Sonic.
"I will leave you here for a while, for I am heading to Lake Verity to find Mesprit.", said Frostwraith.
"You're not going alone, now are you?", said Richard.
"I'm not. I am taking some of you with me... as I have worked with some of you before this group's formation, I'd like to work together again... Pit, Dark Pit, Cynthia?"
None of them objected and Frostwraith asked Alder to join as well, who agreed.
"I will be off now. You must remain here, for this place will be important to Master Hand's plan.", said Frostwraith.
Now approaching Mari, Frostwraith whispered: "Watch Muhti carefully... I don't know what Luco had in his mind when he saved him, but, keep a tight watch on him. Tell this to everyone else, without having Muhti to notice."
Mari silently agreed and Frostwraith took off on his Hydreigon's back. Cynthia and Alder also rode their Braviary and Volarona respectively, with Pit and Dark Pit flying thanks to Palutena's powers.
------------
Few minutes later, they arrived at Lake Verity. Hydreigon, Braviary and Volcarona were tired of flying at such high speed, since they had a five minute limit before Pit and Dark Pit's wings would burn.
"Lake Verity... home to Mesprit. One of the legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh.", commented Frostwraith.
"Yes... let's head inside that cave. Go Milotic!", said Cynthia, sending her Milotic, who took the five members of the group to the small islet in the middle of the lake.

"We're inside... let's find Mesprit.", said Alder.
The floor was slightly wet and it felt slippery, so the small group had to watch every single step they took.
"Where's Mesprit?", said Frostwraith.
"I have him under my control... an ingenious device that I invented.", said a familiar voice to Frostwraith.
"Wait... Colress?!", said Frostwraith, noticing the scientist. "What are you doing here?!"
"My motivation is to research the Pokémon's strength... to bring out their maximum potential! I will do whatever it takes, as long as I find results! If the research leads me to join the Dark Ones, so be it! Now, you've shown quite prowess in fighting, Frostwraith. I was amazed at how confident you were in the unfortunately unfinished tournament."
"So... you were working with the Dark Ones...", muttered Frostwraith.
"As long as my research advances, nothing will stop me. Yes, I did tell the Master of your presence in the Battle Frontier. Now, let's see how will you fare against Mesprit!"
"You're a fool...", muttered Frostwraith.

MESPRIT

"Go, Chandelure!", yelled Frostwraith.
Mesprit began to charge a Shadow Ball.
"Drat! Chandelure avoid that at all costs!", ordered Frostwraith.
Mesprit launched the attack at a speed so high, Chandelure had no chance to avoid it and was hit severely by the attack, becoming unable to fight.
"Chandelure... come back."
Frostwraith sent his Hydreigon to battle, who roared loudly upon entering in battle, the sound echoing throughout the cave.
"Hydreigon, show what you're made of! Dark Pulse!", ordered Frostwraith.
The attack hit Mesprit hard, who countered with a Signal Beam move. Hydreigon's speed allowed him to dodge the attack and charge at the legendary Pokémon, attacking him with Crunch. Mesprit was crippled from the brutal attack, but still managed to fire an Ice Beam at Hydreigon, who barely resisted.
"Damn this... Hydreigon, get back!", said Frostwraith in frustration. "Rotom, now! Begin with another Shadow Ball!"
The attack hit Mesprit, who was almost down. Mesprit attempted another Shadow Ball move, but Rotom was speedy enough to dodge it with Double Team.
"Great, Rotom! Now, let's finish this! Attack with Thunder!"
The humid atmosphere of the cave made the attack more effective, and Mesprit was finished off by Rotom.
----------------
"I commend your battle skills... but even fainted, Mesprit remains on my command as long as I have this device.", said Colress, holding a strange machine.
"Rotom, ThunderShock that thing now!", ordered Frostwraith.
Rotom launched a small bolt of lightning, destroying the machine in the process.
"The hours I spend in building that... and now you destroyed it! You shouldn't have done that in the first place...", said Colress menacingly.
"Threaten all you want. If it's a battle you want, I'll gladly take you on!", responded Frostwraith with bravado.
"Let me show you my Pokémon's true strength!"

COLRESS

Pokémon Black 2 / White 2 - Colress Battle! (Remix) ♪
"Go Magneton!", said Colress, sending his first Pokémon.
"Rotom, return! It's your turn, Golurk!", said Frostwraith, sending his Golurk.
Golurk had a great advantage against Magneton, crippling it with a powerful Earthquake attack. Colress sent his Wash Rotom to replace his Magneton.
"Rotom, Hydro Pump!", ordered Colress.
Rotom's attack proved to be too much for Golurk. Frostwraith sent his Rotom, who was in his normal form.
"Rotom, use Thunder!", ordered Frostwraith.
Being in the normal form proved useful, as Frostwraith's Rotom outran Colress's Rotom, who responded with a Shadow Ball, knocking Frostwraith's Rotom.
"Cofa grigus! Your turn!", said Frostwraith, sending his Cofa grigus for the first time in a long period.
Colress's Rotom outran Cofa grigus and attacked Cofa grigus with a Shadow Ball. Despite his weakness to Ghost type moves, Cofa grigus's defense proved useful in resisting the move.
"Cofa grigus! Finish it with Energy Ball."
A critical hit, the foe Rotom was knocked out. Colress sent his Metagross, who attacked Cofa grigus with a Shadow Ball move, knocking the Coffin Pokémon down.
"Only one left... you're my last hope, Houndoom!", said Frostwraith. "Use Fire Blast!"
Metagross was hit hard, but managed to survive and countered Houndoom with a powerful Stone Edge attack. Houndoom was defeated, causing Frostwraith to lose the battle.
----------------
"Damn this... You fought well, partners... I won't disappoint you next time...", said Frostwraith.
"The mighty Frostwraith losing against me... seems that my research worked out in the end...", calmly said Colress, who walked away. "I believe we may meet again sometime..."
"Not so fast, you coward!", said Pit blocking Colress's way.
"Your devotion to science is excessive, Colress... are you aware of the Master's intentions?", questioned Alder.
"I don't care about the Master's motives. Only my research matters.", responded Colress.
"Let's see if your research will help battling against me.", calmly said Alder. "Volcarona, use Overheat!"
"Whoa!", reacted Pit, who dodged the attack.
Volcarona's attack hit Metagross hard, causing it to faint.
"Not bad, Alder... Beheeyem, go!"
"Volcarona, keep using Quiver Dance!", ordered Alder.
Volcarona's Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed began to rise. With his Special Defernse rising, Volcarona managed to resist many of Beheeyem's attacks.
"Beheeyem, Trick Room!", ordered Colress. "Follow it with a Psyshock attack!"
The attack proved useful, but Volcarona resisted and countered with a now very powerful Bug Buzz attack. Beheeyem was horribly defeated in a single blow.
"Klinklang, begin with Giga Impact!", ordered Colress.
Volcarona was knocked down by the strong attack, prompting Alder to send his Bouffalant.
"Bouffalant, Superpower!", ordered Alder.
Klinklang's need to recharge gave a good opportunity to Bouffalant, and was knocked down by the Superpower move.
Colress had only one Pokémon left: Magnezone.
Alder's Bouffalant took advantage of Trick Room's wearing out and didn't hesitate to use a powerful Earthquake move, knocking down Magnezone.
-----------
"You prove to be stronger... very well, I am now focusing on my research alone. It seems that I was wrong into siding with the Dark Ones...", commented Colress.
"I will let you go. You would do well to reconsider your decisions.", suggested Alder.
With Colress out of the cave, the group focused on treating the injured Mesprit, now free from Colress's control.
"It will likely take a while for it to recover, but my magic will surely help.", said Frostwraith. "It would be wise for us to remain hidden here while Mesprit rests."
=============
Ended longer than I expected... Also, I had to find a way to write Cofa grigus's name without the censor to detect it...
