**Alrighty, so this is a preview for the next story… the continuation- if you will. The next story would be called Deep Obsidian. So read this, leave a review, and you will be seeing 'Deep Obsidian' up shortly. It will definitely explain everything going on in this scene. So have fun! 3**

Brendan stepped back and studied the girl for a while, taking in every detail. He was easily able to tell that she was a dragon-type user. She gave him a cold, red-eyed glare, matching the color of the front of her corset and inside of her violet cape. Her hair was a dark grey- almost black, running down ragged behind her thin frame.

His friend stood beside him, and both boys were now wondering why they'd gotten involved with this trainer in the first place. Brendan hands trembled and his breathing shook as he watched her reach down for a red-violet pokeball off of her belt. This ball was unlike any they've ever seen. "Raivern…" she said, "Croni mekt." She commanded in her language and threw the pokeball up into the air, summoning a yellow-colored dragon-type Pokémon they had never seen before. The creature looked at them with cerulean eyes with the intent to kill.

"Clarence?" Brendan leaned over, "Do you know what she said?" he asked for a translation.

"No clue, but that dragon does." Clarence said, his silver eyes staying on the 'Raivern' as it reared up, its large mouth gaping open with an electric-blue charge pulsating inside. The monster's grey belly and throat pulsed the same color before shrieking and shooting a plasmatic ray, resembling Flamethrower, Dragonbreath, or Ice Beam. The attack barely missed the boys' feet as they leapt out of the way.

The girl glared at them, "Tu man trevi twicen…"

Clarence was barely able to understand that statement. He looked over at Brendan who was picking himself up off the ground, "We've got three seconds to run!" he translated as he got up and ran.

"Ifryvern!" she called out and sent out another dragon-type, somewhat resembling the Raivern, but the fiery answer to the electric-type. The red-orange dragon bellowed and chased after the two with Raivern.

Brendan turned the corner and ran down a pathway. He knew the labyrinth was a bad idea. Something was strange about the place. And after following Tirza in and finding that her precious legendary Pokémon was missing, something was bound to happen. He made another turn and sent out a Darkrai that Clarence had given him. "Make it go to sleep!" Brendan called.

The Darkrai turned around to the Ifryvern behind him and held his hands out in front of him, creating a dark area around the fire-dragon. The dragon burst out of the dark area and collapsed. Lying perfectly still in a deep sleep. Darkrai looked back at Brendan and motioned for him to follow. Elsewhere in the labyrinth, he heard Clarence scream in pain and in fear. Brendan looked up at Darkrai in fear, "Lead me to him."

Darkai grabbed his wrist and pulled him around the labyrinth.

"Brendan!" Clarence's voice echoed. "Help!"

Darkrai stopped at an intersection, hearing that Clarence's voice came from every direction. Brendan looked around, "Clarence?" he called.

"No!" Clarence's voice screamed loudly.

Fear filled Brendan's chest, "D-Darkrai… where is he?"

Darkrai looked back down at him, I-I don't know… I can't tell where his voice is coming from… he said.

There was now silence. Brendan's shaky breathing was all to be heard. "Clarence!" he screamed, in desperate hopes that he'd be able to locate him, but all that followed was a crackling roar emitted from the Raivern.
