"I... guess I'm still a little, what's the term... camera shy," Owen admitted. "Fighting in a big arena like that, with so many people watching, gives me..." He trailed off. "...I guess it puts me in a place I don't know how to feel about yet, sometimes. Being with the whole team, it's...

"Yeah," Owen said with a whimsical sigh. He still looked like a broken mess and it looked like parts of his body were somehow dented from the beatings he'd taken, despite healing up nicely. There was a smile on his face, though, like he was daydreaming about the fight again in his head. "It's...

Chapter 119 – Darkness Rises Owen’s blood turned to ice. Zena froze in place. It came from where Owen had pointed, on the thin wall that separated their room from an alley between the buildings. “Zena,” Owen said softly. “Complete guess, but… did Demitri and Mispy come back home yet?” “They...

Been a while! I'm here to make some final announcements. First of all, congratulations to everyone who made it this far. It's the final round, and therefore the absolute final boss will be coming shortly. I'll be putting a poll on discord--specifically discord--to track when people would like...

And then, silence... By some miracle, the analysis machines that were geared up on the colosseum's perimeter had not all gone out, allowing them to continue to monitor who won and who had lost. Incineroar was, briefly, nowhere to be seen, until a pile of rubble near the far end of the northern...

-- “Bakana…” she whimpered and fell, her wings disappearing into sakura petals. “I am sorry, friends, I have fallen…” She stayed on her knees, clutching her injuries. -- Mergo left grooves in the floor of the arena as little more than sheer force of will kept him on his feet. His body was...

-- Nero buckled to his right. "Urgh!" A gout of smoke puttered out of his right cheek bolt. "That's gonna be my limit here. Nice work, Team Spectrum. But if I... annoyed you even a bit... then I did my job. The rest is... on the others." -- -- "A-" He fell face first, unconscious. Two other...

-- Danithan held out both paws, and in an instant, two golden swords of an aegislash formed. The blades on them seemed jagged and worn from use. As Danithan lunged and slashed like mad, the blades seemed to be dissolving into sand, which then spiraled around the arena like a sandstorm. -- --...

-- “Bah!” Gene grit her teeth and stood up, body glowing. “I will not falter to such attacks! I am a queen!” From her back, the silhouettes of two large wings emerged, spreading gracefully out. “Behold!” Her blades glowed red. “The power of an angel!” She, of course neglected to say she...

-- Danithan gave a jagged, almost maddened smile as the ground beneath him turned black as pitch. A spire of darkness rocketed out of the ground, enveloping the Emolga in an instant. It hardened into a onyx crystal, shimmering for a moment before cracking. A much larger bipedal, almost feline...

Alice was down first, but it seemed to do little more than give her a daze. She shook her head, puffing her cheeks at the insolence of her opponents... -- Just after the Revive's light dissipated, Chyla landed back on his feet, as if nothing had happened. Swirls of red and blue appeared on the...

-- "Yes, yes! Hahaha!" Chyla said, after finishing his barrage. "This is what I'm talking about! Oh, it feels good..." -- "All right, keep it up, everyone," Miracle Owen said lowly, focusing on the orbs that were forming in his hands. He gently tossed each one behind him, never landing a...

-- "C'mon. I saw your love for hexing in the colosseum broadcasts." Nero chuckled. "Maybe you guys shouldn't have been showing off so much?" -- -- Nero dug his talons and heels in to stand strong against the blows. "Whoo. Yeah, you guys are tough. I see why you're so popular around here." --...

"It looks like Team spectrum has readied themselves into position! And what a coordinated effort it is! But let's not underestimate their opponents. They've done the very same thing! the Miracle Matters--what will their answer be?! Ah--here they come! The response! -- "Ooh, nice boosts. Mind if...

Owen smiled a little. "That's life," he replied to Shadow. "Even in a world like Pop's, someone somewhere has to work to get something done. Who the reward goes to isn't... always the person who did the work. And sometimes you can do everything right and be the best person you can, and still...

It was strange to see this once trembling, lost Charmander now look down at Dave with the air of the age he actually was as a blackened, hardened Charizard. It had only been the better part of a year, but perhaps Owen had lived much longer as his memories rebuilt themselves. A younger, emptier...

"There you go again with the extremes," Owen replied coolly. "Either you're doing the right thing or you're an unhappy doormat. Like there isn't something in between." Owen tilted his head left, then right, slowly, as he spoke with his eyes closed. "All right, Dave. What should I do?" And then...

Owen frowned. "Well, that's a selfish way to look at things," he commented with just a hint of pointedness. "I won't be around, so why should I care how others remember me? That's the same attitude as people who make short-term decisions for the world when they won't be alive for the long-term...

Miracle Owen glanced worriedly at Mergo. There were pranks and Mergo's usual sense of humor, and then there was... that. Was something wrong? Something terrible must have happened back home. Or maybe he was still disoriented. He glanced back at Miracle Diyem, who remained stoic, eyes locked on...

The stands were packed and overflowing; no expense was left untouched for all the cameras and crew made to watch every aspect of the fight. Equipment upgraded, technology cutting edge, and Incineroar himself looked like he had half a mind to jump into the fight. "We have a very, very special...
