"And the crowd roars as Kyle's Umbreon takes a direct hit from that Hyper Beam!"

The Umbreon was thrown into the air, made a flip, and landed resolute. She threw it off like nothing had hit her, though even I knew she had taken a lot of damage.

"Did you see that dad?! That Umbreon must be really powerful!"

"I did son, and she is. That's your brothers Pokémon after all."

"It is? I didn't know it was THAT Kyle!... Look dad! There he is! Hehe, He has his hood up again."

I pointed to my brother standing on one side of the battlefield from my father's shoulders. He stood there like nothing had happened, Just as calm as always. Then I heard him call out:

"Brea, Shadow Claw! Show them what we're made of!"

The Umbreon shot forward, dodged the countering Air Cutter attacks, left then right, then it jumped high into the air while dragging the power from its claws. They elongated and gave off a dark aura, and then she brought them down as a fierce blow to the Absol's head. The Absol hit the dirt hard and a huge plume of dust erupted around them.

"And it's a direct hit!" Shouted the announcer into his mic. "Cora's Absol takes a huge amount of damage!" The dust started to clear "Is this it?!" the Absol was lying unconscious in the rubble "It Is! Kyle has defeated Cora! Kyle has defeated Cora! Kyle is the new Cenova Champion!"

"Dad He won! Big brother won!"

"I saw that Corey. Let's go find him. It's not every day that your big brother becomes Champion!"

Dad was happy, but there was something about his voice… something that made him seem tense… we walked down to the arena where all the big fans had flooded to. Dad was pushing our way to the front "Out of the way. Excuse me, father of the winner coming through." We got to the center where Cora was standing… but Kyle had disappeared.

"Where's Kyle dad? I don't see him."

"Oh you know your brother. He was never one for a lot of attention. I think I know where he's gone to..." He pushed our way back to the now empty corridor that led to the stadium.

There was my brother. He had finally pulled down his hood, but he must have worn his favorite reversible jacket, because the colors had changed from black to white since the battle.

"Kyle you were amazing! I never even noticed it was you till just before the end. Dad pointed you out to me." I beamed at him. Them I looked at dad "I think he's psychic Kyle. I never would have guessed you were the challenger."

He was leaning against the wall. He was tall and… kinda lanky. He just seemed very awkward, especially in a crowd.

"Come on Corey. Haven't seen all my badges?"

"Yeah but still. You never seemed interested in being Champ. You never became champ of the other regions, heck you don't even like parties!"

"Yeah but… I just wanted to see if I could beat her. I didn't want all…" He waved his hand at the crowd. "…This. This is too much. And I never expected to win."

"Well, all that matters is that you did. Tomorrow you'll get her Absol. You gonna retire Bree?" Dad chimed in.

The crowd was starting to disperse. As I looked around, no one knew Kyle was the new Champion. They all looked angry and disappointed. Must be they really wanted to congratulate him.

"No. I think I have a better plan than that. I think I'm going to-"

"HEY YOU! CHEATING CHAMPION! Get your ass over here so I can KICK IT. Hello?! Yeah you, in the white sweatshirt!" It was some guy that had already had a few too many drinks. "I know what you did. I don't know how you did it, but I know you did!"

"What are you talking about?! My big brother didn't do anything but kick Cora's butt!"

"No, big brother here cheated. I'm almost positive he poisoned that Absol at some point yesterday."

"My brother would nev-"

"SHUT UP KID. Now you! You're gonna pay for what you did you my daughters Pokémon!"

He took out a pokeball, a blue Great Ball. A big dragon type came out of it. Dad set me on my feet and stepped forward.

"Hey, no need for so much violence. If you want, we can have the Absol tested at the pokecenter."

"No. I will have justice *burp* NOW! Gabite, lets teach him a lesson!"

In a flash of white light there was a Gabite sitting next to him. Dad backed up looking worried, and I was hiding behind my brother cowering for my life.

"Gabite, use DragonRage!"

"Gabite!"

The dragon type leapt forward and unleashed a huge blast of fire from its maw, it glowed white-purple and was flying right at Kyle, Dad, and I.
