Nessie was sent flying from the Leaf Blade, crashing onto the ground, knocked out. Chuck recalled her and sent out Omega next. He changed Omega to Fire Type and unleashed a firey Multi-Attack on the Kartana.

"Kirigami, make like a ninja and use Double Team!" Multiple Kartana copies manifested, but it was to no avail as Omega—cloaked in fiery energy—charged into the real Kirigami and knocked it out in one hit.

"Nice work Omega!" Chuck said, petting his Silvally.

"You did well, Kirigami," Shiranui praised as he recalled his Kartana, "Looks like Kubfu is under your wing, Chuck."

"Throwing in the towel already Shiranui? That's unlike you." Chuck said. "You still have one Pokemon left."

"Yes, well done all of you," Mustard praised. He then asked Chuck to follow him.

"Throwing in the towel already Shiranui? That's unlike you." Chuck said. "You still have one Pokemon left."

"Last I looked, we were only allowed two Pokémon this battle," Shiranui reminded.

"Last I looked, we were only allowed two Pokémon this battle," Shiranui reminded.

(Oops, guess I misread that then, I thought it was all three in the final)

Chuck nodded and followed Master Mustard.

Mustard took Chuck to a secluded part of the compound and whistled as a small grey bear-like Pokémon leapt down from the roof. Mustard said it was called "Kubfu" and said he was entrusting its care to Chuck. He wanted the two to spend time together and come back once they bonded.

Shiranui pondered over how Chuck and Kubfu would get along while he healed Nekomata and Kirigami. "Rotom, what do you know about Kubfu?" he asked his phone.
"Kubfu, the Wushu Pokémon. A Fighting type. If Kubfu pulls the long white hair on its head, its fighting spirit heightens and power wells up from the depths of its belly."
"I have not heard mention of wushu outside of the history texts before," he mused, "Nowadays we call it bujutsu taikyoku ken or various styles of martial arts."

Chuck greeted the Kubfu, and thanked Master Mustard for the opportunity.

"So, do we want to look around the island a bit more, or go back to Mainland Galar too get ready for the World Coronation event happening out in the Wild Area?"

“I want to look around the isle some more as Serina’s village is near the Doho,” Jen said as Aura stands next rp her teainer.

Selina walked up to the group and said "But before that, you've got a meeting with some Lucario" She would then direct then to Mustard office where Mei and Cammy were helping an elderly Lucario who was blind in both eyes but he sensed their approach and said "Greeting humans, my sister's Mei and Cammy have filled me in on what it is you seek. Sadly, I can't agree to it, epically with how much darkness three members of your team carry, epically one who darkness matches the one who attacked our village many years ago"
He pointed to Liam, Shinranui and Selina before adding "but I have also been watching and are well aware that the one called Chuck has gained Kubfu and Master Musterd seems to have faith in you, so Chuck North, you will be the one who will gain our tribe trust, take that Kubfu on a journey, fully complete Master Mustard training and we will allow you and your friends into our village to obtain the Auravellas Flower to cure your special pokemon of their Berserker gene"

Selina felt like she had to ask "Elder, you say that myself, Liam and Shinranui would not be allowed in your village because of the darkness inside our heart, but why does that hurt Chuck and Jen too?". The elder answered her "You are a group, are you not? We are just being careful, the others and myself still remember what transpired when we let a group in, who only had one darkness in their group, my older sisters were taken alongside countless other, and only my sisters Mei and Cammy survived, but many other lives were lost in the battle to prevent from being taken in the first place".

The Elder though about something else before pointing to Liam once more "Tell me, does the human known as Nigal Knightwing still live?" "He does, despite Liam and Co best efforts, Nigal keep slipping away" Mei told him. "Then it is as we expected too, Nigal lead the attack on our tribe over 300 years ago" The Elder told the group getting a gasp from Serina. "After the attack, we dedicated a lot of resources and time into finding everything about him to try and rescue you all. His face has appeared in many old photo and the aura itself believe that he is far older then he appeared. Our research with the help of Master Mustard once he moved and built his dojo here, reviled that Nigal Knightwing has been alive since before the other Regions came about, when only the Hisui and Ransei regions were around, we discovered that Nigal Knightwing true name was Nobunaga Kazuma, the younger brother of Nobunaga Oda, who survived the destruction of the Ransei region before it became the region known today as Hoenn"

Shiranui was surprised to hear that Nigal was far older than he thought. "I believe you're telling the truth and understand your hesitancy about me since I walk the path of a shadow warrior, but it doesn't make sense that a human can live that long naturally," he stated to the Lucario elder, "Per the texts I read about the Nobunaga clan, Kazuma would have already exceeded the maximum natural lifespan of humans by the time he attacked your clan. I have a hunch about how he might have prolonged his life; but what are your thoughts?"

The Elder was silent for a while before saying "When we were inspecting his Aura, it seemed like something granted him that expanded life. We believe it may have been a legendry pokemon ether Ho-oh or Xerneas, Ho-oh appeared often around the castle Kazuma had. We believe when the hero of Ransai brought down the last of Nobunaga general, something happen at that castle that granted Kazuma his long life"

Jen and Aura listens to the Elder Lucario. They both saw the aura around the Elder Lucario it was powerful mixed with rage and sadness. “We will split up, Chuck and I will bring back the Azure flower.”

"It's a possibility," Shiranui replied. Since he trained both of those Pokémon he would want to hear their side of the story. After hearing Jen's suggestion, he added, "I, Liam and anyone else in the World Coronation Series will return to the mainland to participate in their event.

"That might be best," Liam said. "Seeing Klara cheat set me over the edge. Dealing with Nigel sully the name of my beloved Dragons, and that poacher, Erik who abused Smaug when he was a Charmander." All things that set me off. I understand why they would fear me coming to their village." Liam turned to Jen and Chuck, "Good luck you two,"
