The following morning both Ash and Gary are moping around. Gary is more in a state of shock from what Scizor said to him. "What does that idiotic bug know? Karen and I were made for each other. Now why does that guy in the wheelchair look familiar?" Gary says to himself. Ash is replaying the previous night's events over and over in his mind to try and figure out what he did to piss Misty off so bad. Scizor on the other hand was in the Chamber playing the tape for the pokemon that lives in there. Life around the city had returned to normal and no one knew of the previous night's events. Trainers were busy trying to earn their Tempest badge from Maurice. Guadalupe was on her way over to console Karen who was still weeping in the bunk of the semi. Guadalupe arrived at the semi in the early afternoon and was met by a very distraught and tired looking Karen. "What the hell happened to you? Where is Shino?" Guadalupe asks closing the door. Karen buries her face into Guadalupe's shoulder and proceeds to tell her what happened. While she is telling the story Scizor walks in and puts the tape back in the tape player. After Karen is done telling her story Scizor plays the tape. "How do you know he didn't just give you those things to hold onto until he gets back?" Guadalupe asks. "Because he wouldn't of left this behind." Karen replies as Scizor sets the small black marble ball down on the bed. "Oh. Shit. Why would he leave that behind? He never lets that leave his side." Guadalupe says staring at the ball. Karen shrugs and blows her nose which is red and sore. "Something isn't right. Shino leaves behind all three of his pokemon. One of which has never left his side. He doesn't plan on surviving the fight or returning at all. He has only done this once before and he disappeared for three years. You said Larry admitted to killing Shino. That's not possible because Larry is still recovering from the serious beating Akurei gave him. Larry is stuck in that wheelchair for another year or more. Larry must of paid someone to kill Shino for him, but who?" Guadalupe says pacing back and forth. "Forget calling Diego. He is in Goldenrod on band business. He doesn't even know yet. Nobody but us knows." Scizor says before Guadalupe could even suggest it. The sun sets and their stomachs start to grumble. Maurice shows up with some food and is filled in on the details. "There is really no abandoned buildings to pull off anything like that around here. Officer Jenny and the cops search them daily. They would of found him by now. Nobody has mentioned anything about this today." Maurice says sitting on the floor. Karen is curled up under the blankets on the bed with Guadalupe sitting next to her. Scizor has left and is searching the city street by street. Sometime around sunrise Scizor returns empty handed and falls asleep in the trailer. Karen is asleep next to Guadalupe on the bed and Maurice is sound asleep on the floor. The little black marble ball rolls out the door as Scizor walks in. Ash wakes up early and gets himself cleaned up. As he is leaving the Pokecenter with Pikachu by his side. "I will win Misty back if I can just win this league championship. Ready Pikachu?" Ash says staring at the rising sun. "Pika!" Pikachu replies and they set off for the Gym. Gary wakes up around noon and gets dressed. On his way down the hall Nurse Joy stops him. "What's with you? You and Ash were moping around here all day long." Nurse Joy asks. "I was rejected by the woman I love." Gary replies softly. Nurse Joy slaps him hard across the face and says "Grow a pair and get over it. If you really love her then don't give up. Just keep trying." Gary rubs his cheek for a second before hugging her and running off. He reaches the semi and as he comes up to the door Maurice opens it hitting him right in the face. Gary is laying on the ground unconscious right in front of the door. Maurice looks down at him and closes the door. He doesn't say a word and walks away. A little while later Guadalupe comes out and steps right on Gary's nuts. Before she can say anything, Karen does the same thing. They look down at Gary who is currently curled up in a little ball holding his crotch. "Why are you laying there?" Karen asks. Gary looks up at her and before he can answer Karen and Guadalupe leave. Maurice enters the gym and is followed by a dozen trainers. As they enter they see the old man leaning against the wall. Maurice walks into the back of the Gym while the trainers talk amongst themselves. After Maurice is out of sight the old man says "Listen and listen well. If you want to win this badge easily then do as I say. When he greets you call him "Legend" and he will give you a easy win. Don't and you won't win." A large throne comes out of the floor with a Ninetails sleeping in it. Maurice makes his way towards it and Ninetails doesn't move. Maurice looks down at him and snaps his fingers then points to the floor. Ninetails doesn't even acknowledge his presence. Scizor walks in and stands in the back of the crowd. "This guy is a supposed legend and he can't even get a Ninetails off the chair." A trainer says to another trainer. Scizor makes his way up to the throne. And looks at Ninetails then Maurice. "Allow me." Scizor says and pulls out a large rolled up newspaper. He smacks Ninetails in the head with it as he says "Bad mutt. No filthy mongrels on the furniture." He smacks him again and Ninetails gets down. The old man walks up to Scizor and sprays bug spray in his face. "Damn bugs keep getting bigger and bigger every year." He says still spraying Scizor. When he stops Ninetails sneezes and Scizor catches on fire. "Good boy." the old man says and gives Ninetails a treat. "What the hell just happened?" Several trainers ask. "So who is up first?" the old man asks. "What do you mean?" A trainer asks. Scizor is running around in the background trying to get the fire out. "Let's see. How to answer a self explaining question? Out of all of you trainers which one of you would like to challenge me first for the Tempest badge?" The old man says slower. A look of confusion comes over the trainers. "You aren't the gym leader. He is." A trainer says and points to the empty throne. "Who?" The old man says as he rips off his face and clothes. The trainers back up and look in utter shock. Maurice is standing there with the old man's clothes and face in his hands. "What the...?" says several trainers. Maurice lowers his head and mutters something. "You have got to be kidding. Are all of you that stupid? I don't believe this. The trainers yesterday got it." Maurice says. "Are you like Hannibal Lector or something? Where is that old man?" A trainer in back asks terrified. Scizor walks up to the trainer, his head still burning, and slugs him in the face. "I can't take your stupidity any more. There never was an old man. Maurice was disguised as him so he could try and scare you with some horror stories. How hard is that to get? Honestly what are these kids learning in school these days?" Scizor says angrily. One trainer leans over to another one and whispers "Since when can pokemon talk?" Before the other trainer could respond Scizor slugs both of them. Maurice dumps a bucket of water on Scizor and then drags him away. "You keep hitting them like that then I won't have anyone to fight against. So just go settle down over there." Maurice says calmly and gives him a little push. The three trainers he slugged are on the ground with blood coming out of their ears and twitching uncontrollably. "Now then. Which trainer would like to try and win the badge first?" He asks. The remaining trainers raise their hands. The three on the ground stop twitching and are completely motionless. Ash walks in as Scizor walks out with a blackened head. The first trainer steps into the box and Maurice sits down on the throne. "How are you doing today?" Maurice asks. "Not bad." The trainer replies and sends out Pinsir. Maurice sends out Charizard and smiles. "Fight!" Shouts the ref. Pinsir runs towards Charizard and tackles him. As they tumble backwards they burst into flames and Charizard is the only one remaining. He gets up and brushes the ashes off. The next trainer steps into the box pulls out a pokeball. "How are you doing today?" Maurice asks. "Fine. How about you, Legend?" The trainer replies. "Very good." Maurice replies with a small chuckle. The trainer sends out an Arbok and Maurice sends out an injured Shuckle. Arbok wraps around Shuckle and quickly bites it's head. The poison from Arbok kills Shuckle almost instantly. The trainer wins and is given the badge. The next seven trainers all call Maurice "Legend" before the match and win the badge. Ash steps into the box and says "Why is everyone calling you a Legend?" "They do it out of respect. I am the only real legend on the Dark Islands." Maurice replies. "I have never heard of you before I came here." Ash replies. "You have never heard of anyone here before you got here." Maurice replies. "The only true legends here are Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak. You, Maurice, aren't legend anywhere but in this forsaken town." Someone says from the front doors. "Shino?" Maurice says looking at the silhouette that looks like Shino. "Here Ash take this." Maurice says running by him and tossing him the badge. Maurice stops dead in his tracks and doesn't say a word.
