After a while of searching, the trio is worn out. "Aw, man... where is she...?" Pika asked. "I... I have no clue..." "Thanks a lot, N... that helps..." Then N suddenly heard the cry for help again. "Follow me! She's this way!" N yelled, dashing off. "Hey, how can you just be restored to full energy like that...? That's unfair..." Hex called after him. They ran into a clearing to see a Shiny Glaceon being attacked by a man's Scrafty. It was clearly weak and it collapsed. "Uh... where's Kylani...?" Pika asked, giving N a crazy look. Then he heard the cry for help again, this time it was very weak. "T-T-That's Kylani!" N yelled, pointing at the Glaceon. The girls looked at each other in confusion. "I'm sure of it! We have to save her!" Upon hearing N's shouting, the man turned around. "What in the-" "Go!" the three of them shouted. Pika sent out Silvally, N sent out Archeops, and Hex sent out a Mimikyu. The man gave them a nasty look. "Listen, kids, this Pokémon is mine!" "Oh no, she isn't!" Hex yelled at him. "I won't let you steal my catch!" the man snarled angrily. Then he threw two Poké Balls, sending out a Crobat and an Aegislash. "Let's get this party started!" Pika yelled. "Silvally, Ice Fang on Crobat!" Silvally, fangs cloaked in ice, charged at Crobat. "Dodge it and use Wing Attack on that Mimikyu!" Crobat quickly flew out of the way of Silvally's attack, then dived toward Mimikyu. With no time to dodge, it was hit hard with Crobat's wings, and its disguise's head went limp. "Mimikyu, Shadow Ball on Aegislash!" Mimikyu hurled the shadowy blob at Aegislash, hitting it hard. "Slash on that Silvally!" Aegislash switched to its Blade Forme and slashed Silvally with its body, causing it to cry out in pain. "Oh no, Silvally!" Pika cried. "Now, Scrafty, use Focus Punch!" Scrafty pulled its fist back and closed its eyes to concentrate. "Archeops, use Dragon Breath on Scrafty!" Archeops breathed out a stream of purple and blue energy, but Crobat flew in front of Scrafty and took the attack. Suddenly, Scrafty charged toward Silvally and unleashed its Focus Punch, knocking Silvally flying. It hit the ground with a crash and fainted. Archeops landed in front of it, staring in shock. "Oh, crud..." Pika muttered as she returned it to its Poké Ball. "Now! High Jump Kick!" Scrafty leaped toward Archeops to hit it head-on. "Look out!" Suddenly, a Metagross descended in front of Archeops and took the hit. However, it barely seemed to do any damage, and Scrafty looked panicked. "What the?!" Then a voice shouted "Use Hammer Arm!" and the Metagross swung its arm at Scrafty, knocking it flying, and it fainted. "What the...?" N said, looking stunned. "Augh!" the man yelled as he pulled out his Poké Ball and called his Pokémon back. "Who did that?!" Then a boy jumped down from a tree branch and landed near the Metagross. "I did." he said. "Who in the absolute frick is this?" Pika asked, looking a bit agitated about her Silvally fainting. "Call me Meta-Man." he replied. "Okay then." Pika said. "Call him what? Mega Man?" Hex asked. Pika snickered. "Quiet, you two!" N said to them. "Archeops, Crunch on Aegislash!" Archeops bit down hard on Aegislash's metal body, and flung it. "Mimikyu, Shadow Ball on Aegislash!" Mimikyu fired off its Shadow Ball and it hit Aegislash, making it faint. The man looked absolutely furious. "Play Rough!" "Dragon Breath!" "Dodge them!" Archeops used Dragon Breath and Mimikyu charged at Crobat so it could use Play Rough, but it dodged both attacks and crashed into Metagross. "Metagross! Psychic!" Metagross lifted Crobat up with its psychic powers, and flung it into a tree, causing it to faint. "No!" the man yelled. Then N, Pika, Hex, Meta-Man, and their Pokémon started surrounding him, and he panicked. "Y-You kids'll regret this!" he cried, picking up his Crobat, and ran off. "Yeah, run, you stupid coward!" Pika taunted. Then they returned their Pokémon to their Poké Balls.
