Round 4: Battle Palace- a- go go!
(?)
X: So, it seems as though an upstart tried to mess up the plan. Heh, that's amusing. By what the detectors said, he wasn't much of a match for the upper five.
(Mitsuki walks in)
Mitsuki: My lord, is it time yet? The Battle Chateau needs to be tended to.
X: No, not yet. There seems to be movement near there. Not only was there an upstart soul sucker, we had two bandits that could have beaten you.
Mitsuki: Shouldn't we take care of the problem?
X: No, we can't afford to have Zetto on our tail. That would be more trouble then it's worth.
Mitsuki: Zetto?
X: I heard he became the Battle Chateau leader, though he might have turned it down. Nevertheless, he has been spotted in the Battle Frontier. He is one of the only trainers to hit the second limit.
Mitsuki: Second limit?
X: It does not matter. We must prepare to take off. It'll take us a while to get there the method I wish to use.
(Mitsuki walks out of the room, X following her.)
(Battle Palace)
Nathan: Well, you people are here. That's good, because we're back in the main competition! A few people have dropped out, for fear that Brandon came in, so our number is exactly fifty. With that in mind, one contestant is immediately going to the next round, and the other forty-nine will be competing for the spots in the final solution.
Nathan: We will take the nine best battlers, so that means that it doesn't matter whether you lose or win, if your style is solid, and you are able to impress the judges, then you may get to go through. Though, winning all of the fights will likely increase your chances to go into the next round.
Nathan: Now, we shall begin the lottery machine! Whoever's name is called will fight in the battles. Now, let's go!
(Nathan faces the lottery machine for a second)
Nathan: (Name) and Richard, proceed to the main arena, immediately. Your fight shall begin now!
(Richard leaves the crowd)
(As you go towards the door, you run into someone)
?: Hey, watch where you're going!
Loki: Who am I? I am Loki, what business is it of yours?
Loki: Heh, whatever. I need to get through anyway. So move!
(You move to the side as Loki walks through)
(In the stadium)
Nathan: Okay, now... we shall begin the battle! (Name), the slayer of Team Enel and the Elite 4, and Richard, the man who defeated Alice in a minute!
Richard: Good luck, kid. You'll need it. I haven't thought that you would be the one who beat Team Enel, but that doesn't matter. Let's go.

Richard: Damn Loki, he lied to me! He told me that you would be a pathetic trainer!
Nathan: Loki?
Richard: It doesn't matter. I don't care what he wants, I'm out of here!
(Richard runs out of the room)
Nathan: Is that another upstart?
((Name) looks at Nathan)
Nathan: It's nothing. Now, will the next two names... Erika and Jessie come in to fight!?
(Waiting room)
(Loki walks in)
Loki: Ah, this looks like the perfect place. Heh, I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when this goes off.
((Name) walks in)
Loki: Hm? Oh, it's you. Whatever, it looks like this place is no good.
(Loki disappears)
?: Who was that?
((Name) turns around and sees someone else, a girl)
?: Whoever he is, he has style. Hi, I'm Rachel, who are you?

Nathan: Will (Name) and Justin please come up here!?

Justin: Yeah, I'm fine.
Nathan: Let's begin the fight! (Name), slayer of Team Enel, and the one who defeated Master-Champion Storm will face off against Justin, a former general of the Hoenn Army, and master of the electric type!
Justin: I fought Lt. Surge in the skies, he was a worthy rival, who used tactics similar to mine. But I evolved, and now, I use many types. I wish I could show you my full team, but with the limit, I am only limited to just three.

Nathan: The winner is... (NAME)! And now, begin the lottery machine! And... will Rachel and Manuel step up to the arena!?
(Waiting room)
((Name) walks in and finds that a few people are around a fallen person.)
Guy: Is he okay?
Girl: I don't know, someone call the doctor!
Guy: Step aside, let me see!
((Name) walks in closer to look at him.)
Fallen Guy: L-Loki... he did this to me. He's strong. I-I never thought someone could beat me like this.
Guy: Listen, don't fall asleep! We're calling a doctor!
Fallen Guy: Don't... I'm not dying. I'm fine, really.
(Fallen guy gets up)
Fallen Guy: There, see? Loki can't keep me down forever... because...
(Fallen Guy begins to spin around, before revealing Loki)
Loki: I am Loki! Ahahaha! I got you good! You fools don't know what you're in for! Alakazam, let's go!
(Loki disappears)
Guy: That was Loki?
Girl: He's real?
Guy: That was awesome!

Phil: Whoa, I can't believe this! That was ridiculous! I'm out of here, even Loki's pay isn't enough for me to go through with this.
Nathan: What is it with this Loki guy? He's such a pest. Well, I doubt Zetto would have trouble against him.
(Phil walks out, and (Name) returns to the waiting room)
(Waiting room)
Rachel: Hey, (Name)! That was a good fight. I can't believe it. A lot of trainers seem to be working with this Loki guy. Maybe after the tournament we should look for this guy.
?: It's pointless, Rachel.
Rachel: Oh look, it's Matthew. What are you doing here
Matthew: I'm competing, and I know that Loki can't be caught. He surrounded himself earlier, he can run away really good, at least.
Rachel: Maybe, but we can beat him before he runs!
Matthew: Heh, I doubt you could, Rachel. You were always the weakest one in the situation. Remember when Team Enel invaded our town? You froze up, and I had to repel them. You don't deserve your pokemon, you coward.
Rachel: I made it here, didn't I!?
Matthew: Only because I wanted it.
Rachel: I made it to this round by myself, so if you don't mind... go away!
Matthew: You can't tell me what to do, I can do whatever I want, and there's nothing you can do. Remember the last time?
Rachel: Why are you so confident that Loki can't be caught?
Matthew: I saw him, and fought him. He defeated me. It was close, though, so there's no way you or your boy/girlfriend can beat him!
Rachel: He/she isn't my boy/girlfriend, and just... go away.
Matthew: Girl, you can't tell me what to do.
Nathan: Will (Name) and Master Rhett come to the arena?
Matthew: Well? Get going! I need to have a conversation with Rachel.
(Arena)
Nathan: Where's Rhett? I thought he would be here by now.
Servant: Introducing to the general public, the greatness that is... Master Rhett Clade XIV, one of the CEOs of Silph Co, and the greatest battler alive.
(A red carpet is laid out, and Rhett walks down it)
Master Rhett: Well, it seems as though I've been summoned to fight another peasant. Very well, let's begin this pointless fight. We know I will win.

Servants: Yes, my lord.
(The servants and Rhett leave, the Red Carpet already gone)
Nathan: That was... umm... interesting. Now will... Kevin and Matthew come to the stage?
((Name) walks away, towards the waiting room)
(Waiting room)
Rachel: Oh, hey. Don't worry about my eye, I'm fine. I managed to get him back twice as hard. He'll be feeling that for a while. Listen, how about we look for Loki? I mean, he has to be around here somewhere.
(BOOM!, earth shakes, and an explosion is heard)
?: Ahaha! Look at the beauty! Nothing will top it... yet! Ahaha!
Rachel: That sounds like...
(Rachel runs out of the room, (Name) follows after)
(Outside)
Loki: Look at this... these statues that clogged up the area are gone! It's so beautiful! Ahahaha! Boom boom, baby! Wahaha! This looks amazing, doesn't it!? Ahahaha! Let's go, Alakazam!
Rachel: Not so fast, Loki!
(Loki looks at Rachel, who walks out to meet him)
Rachel: I challenge you to a battle. If you lose, then you turn yourself in!
Loki: Ahahaha! I'm sorry, but I decline. I have bigger booms to make. More art to create! I have to get rid of this horrid abominations you call 'art'. Bye!
(Loki disappears)
Rachel: No! He got away. We'll get him next time.
Matthew: I doubt it, Loki is a tricky person to catch. You have no clue what I had to do to get him to fight.
Rachel: Tell me how to have him fight!
Matthew: I might have, if you didn't break my nose. Now shove off, before I beat you again.
(Rachel walks away)
Matthew: Heh, know your place, woman.
((Name) walks up to Matthew)
Matthew: What do you want?
[PUNCH!]
Matthew: AAAAAHHHHH! MY NOSE! MY NOSE IS IN TREMENDOUS PAIN! **** YOU, (NAME)! AAAHHHH!

Rachel: Heh, don't hold back, I can take your pokemon on!
Nathan: Now, we have (Name), the slayer of Team Enel and the Elite 4, and Rachel, who was one of the finalists in the Hoenn and Sevii leagues! Let's go! Begin the battle!

Matthew: Yeah, I'm Loki. I was waiting to win to enact my plan, but I'm going to do it early.
(The area flashes white)
Loki: Hahaha! There are five bombs, the equivalent in power to a nuclear bomb! They are set to detonate, and sink the island into the sea! In five minutes, this island will be no more! But, I'm going to give you a chance to live. If the Palace King and (Name) go and disarm the bombs, then I will face them in final combat. The winner decides the fate. Get going, time's running out.
?: So, he wants us to work together, eh?
(A woman walks in)
Kanna: Hello. I'm sorry, but I don't believe we have time to talk. Listen, I heard reports of strange devices. These devices might be the bombs Loki planted. I marked on the frontier map where the devices are.
(Locations are behind the Battle Factory, and near the Pier)
(After disarming the bombs)
Loki: URRRRAGH! I can't believe this! My bombs were actually stopped?
(Kanna runs in)
Kanna: I'm afraid that you are going to jail, Matthew Loki Griswald.
Loki: Heh, can you even beat me in battle?
Kanna: Yeah, I think we can. It's two on one, you can't be that powerful.

Loki: Z-Zetto!? No!
Zetto: Come with me, Loki.
Loki: Damn you, and your meddling kid! You two deserve a pox! Heh, I'll be back, I swear it.
Zetto: I said come with me, or do you wish to be a pile of ash? I have the authority on this island to do what I want with terrorists like you.
Loki: All I wanted to do was make this place beautiful.
(Zetto leads Loki away)
Kanna: That man is quite intimidating, my heart is still pulsing quickly. You did good, now I believe we must face off in battle. Since you're not as weak as I thought, we will fight. Maybe I will have some earnest competition other then Hunter.

Nathan: But that's eleven!
Zetto: I saw potential to go higher in one candidate. I'm the one who decides who goes on, not you.
Kanna: I thought the last Frontier Brain said only ten.
Zetto: I can convince him otherwise. For all you know, I could be the last Frontier Brain. His or her identity is unknown. Only I know who this candidate is.
Kanna: …
Zetto: I know what I'm doing, don't get in my way. It's hard enough to keep this persona, I don't need anyone else making it harder.
Kanna: Persona?
Zetto: Never you mind, woman. Just go back to the kitchen.
Kanna: Excuse me? I don't know what you think you are, but if you think you can just insult me like that, you can forget it!
Zetto: I believe that I told you to leave, now do it.
