"Well that's good." Chuck said under his breath. He pulled out a hand mirror to help him peek around corners as he moved around through the base.

(Blood, can I get a list of the twins Pokémon?)

Once Chuck made it out thw other end, he looked around at his surroundings and headed down the path ahead of him, sneaking through while keeping an eye out for the twins.

"Right, no time like the present." Chuck said, stepping through the portal.

(What Pokémon did Sashia lend Chuck?)

"Alright, thanks for the assistance." Chuck said, taking the Pokeball.

"Sounds like we have a solid plan here." Chuck said, stretching himself out.

"Well, hopefully it shouldn't be too much for me to handle." Chuck said. "Unless Sashia wants to provide assistance in taking them down, but that depends on if Jen thinks she can handle saving all the Pokémon with just her own to assist her."

Figured I'd just drop my planned Pokémon League team here so you guys know what I'll be working with.

Also, wanted to mention that Marshadow is now separated from Chuck, it has gone with Tru, as has Chuck's darkness. If Blood's okay with it, after the stuff with the Poachers, Mike could maybe sense that all of Chuck's darkness is gone, and deem him worthy of the final Type: Null, which I will not be evolving yet, and will have travel with Chuck to Galar.

"Well, like before we can leave Saisei and Azriel to watch over us and keep us linked together." Chuck said. "I think we should split up and try to locate each of the remaining head poachers, as well as locate where they're keeping the Pokémon. I'm sure Liam will want to go after their leader, which is fine by me. Alexa is mine, there's something about her Lopunny that's throwing me off, and I want to get to the bottom of it. Jenn, I think it might be best if you and Aura look for the captured Pokémon, since you'll be able to use your powers to sense where they may be."

"I don't know what happened to my brother, but I have to find a way to bring him back." Chuck said. "After we're done here, I'm going to head home for a little while before the Pokémon League, my parents need to know what's become of Tru. Then, after the League, I'm heading to Galar to get to the bottom of this. But first, the Poachers and Necrozma."

Meanwhile the battle between Chuck and his brother Tru was still going strong. Ariel had managed to take down both Jaws the Tyrantrum and Galapagos the Carracosta. However, Tru shook things up by sending out both Aegis and Gae Bolg, the Bastiodon and Rampardos respectively, and they took down Ariel before Chuck knew what happened. Chuck sent out Megumin and Azriel, the Turtonator and Alakazam respectively, in what ended up as a triple KO from everyone getting caught up in Megumin's Shell Trap. Unfortunately, Megumin was left weakened by the blast, so Marshadow made quick work of her, leaving both with just one usable Pokémon.

Chuck looked around at his surroundings and found he didn't have enough room, so he began running out of the Dragon trial cave and into the open area, Marshadow and Tru on his heels. "Let's finish this, Christa!" Chuck said, sending out the massive Celesteela. Marshadow leapt up after Christa, it's fist flaming in a Fire Punch, but Christa swatted it away with a Heavy Slam, knocking it through a couple trees and dealing massive damage due to their weight difference. Marshadow got up and shook itself off as Tru said "Time to level the playing field, Dynamax Marshadow!" He revealed an odd bracelet and recalled Marshadow, then the ball grew massive in size and Tru chucked it, revealing a massive Marshadow, on par with Celesteela in height. "What the hell!?" Chuck cried out, looking on at the massive Pokémon before him. "A new thing courtesy of the Galar region. I give you, Dynamaxing. Now Marshadow, go!" The Marshadow swung a massive fist a Christa, knocking her back a few feet. Chuck activated his Z-Ring and, going from Air Slash, Christa unleashed a massive Supersonic Skystrike, knocking the already weakened Marshadow down and reverting it back to normal size.

Marshadow was battered and bruised but still conscious as Tru smirked. "I see you're not half-bad as a trainer Chuckie. We'll call this your win for now, but you won't be so lucky next time. If you really want to know more about what happened, see me in the Galar Region. With that, he and Marshadow returned to the shadows. Chuck used a Max Revive on Azriel and had him teleport them back to the Pokémon Center so he could heal his team. Once done, Azriel locked in on the other's location and teleported Chuck to them. "Sorry I'm late guys, but I just had an intense battle with my brother." He then proceeded to tell them everything, including the Dynamaxing and Tru's 'invitation' to Galar.
