Before Tzerah's... rampage would be the best word to describe it, began, Spirit and Flash squared off, eye to eye. Flash happened to glance down to the bracer on Spirit's arm. [color=ed1c24]"Sure you don't want to take that off? I'd hate to break your pretty little rock."[/color] Lucario held up his arm, pointing at the gem on his arm. [color=004b80]"This is what will be your undoing, Flash. Your escapades end here!"[/color] He touched the gemstone, and suddenly was enveloped in a bright light.

Rico and Lulu led their party over to a nearby rooftop to watch the battle, both knowing full well not to get involved. They watched as Spirit appeared to transform, and were in complete awe over what they were witnessing. Soon the light faded, and there stood... Spirit? Razor had finished off the grunts that had come at him rather quickly, as they had been distracted by the sudden transformation. [color=a36209]"Flash, you're in for it now. It's not everyday Guildmaster Spirit breaks that out."[/color]

Flash was in disbelief. Sure he'd heard of this before, but he was in NO way prepared to fight against... Mega Evolution?! But... if he ran, his gang would hound him for days to come. He had no choice, he would fight. [color=ed1c24]"Mega Evolution or not, you're still going down pal!"[/color] He rushed forward with his Superpower, but was stopped cold when Spirit merely grabbed his hand. His eyes had been closed the whole time, and suddenly they opened into Flash's. [color=004b80]"You came here today with malicious intent, for that, you will suffer the consequences."[/color] Flash was suddenly pelted by the volley of swift kicks and punches produced by Spirit's Close Combat attack.

At once, his entire gang halted in their tracks. They started to back off, Razor saw. But he also heard Tzerah, or was that even Tzerah? He looked over to see her on a complete rampage, she was out of control! He ran over and tackled her, pinning her to the ground. [color=a36209]"TZERAH! Snap out of it! This isn't you, you have to stop! Think about what you're doing!"[/color]

Rico and Lulu were amazed and horrified at the sight. Tzerah was... someone completely different than the twins knew her. Their dad was beating back Flash without even taking a hit, and his gang was on its last legs.

Flash had gone from the prideful leader of a criminal gang to a Lillipup with its tail between its legs. He was completely on the defensive, trying in vain to block the volley of attacks thrown his way. He was on the ropes. Then Spirit just stopped, looked at the beaten Flash, and held out one hand. From that hand formed a ball of energy, an Aura Sphere. Without even a word, he fired it straight at Flash. A massive explosion shook the very earth they stood on, and a cloud of smoke and dust covered the area.

When it cleared, there stood Flash, still completely alive, it looked like he was still ready to fight. He took a step forward, and collapsed on the ground. The remainder of his gang looked at the once great Flash the Scizor. [color=007236]"The boss... he ain't my boss no more!"[/color] Said the lead Cacturne as he and his remaining Cacturne fled into the forest. [color=a36209]"I... I'm with you! I'm scramming!"[/color] Said the lead Crustle, following swiftly behind for someone lugging a giant rock on his back. In the commotion, the small Vanillite that they had captured was set free.

It had been a long time since he had treaded along this path. Almost a year ago he had left along this same path, looking to help Pokemon in the south. He wondered how much had changed... He had to quickly jump out of the way as a group of Cacturne and Crustle rushed past. He wondered what they could be running from...

He quickened his pace towards the Village, stopping just short to a sight he had never seen: Flash the Scizor lay defeated on the path just before the Valiant Village gate. He looked around, there were unconscious Pokemon everywhere, some maybe more than that... He saw what might be... Spirit? Mega Evolved? And... Razor wrestling with Tzerah? What was going on here?!
