We see Tassel once again in the house. "Bonne lecture everyone! We left off in the previous chapter where we met this particular individual. His name is Hop," he opens the book to show the recap of the chapter, "In the previous chapter, we were introduced to Naomi, a character that was in The Rising Dreams and now she's here with them to help with their little cafe that turns out to be a success. During that, Gloria learns about how she'll achieve great strength, that is by beliefs. After that, they found out a Megiddo is rampaging parts of the Lumiouse city and goes to stop it. Both met Falchion there, and Victor decides to fight him while Gloria fight the Megiddo on her own without his support. Gloria understands and goes into the Wonder world to stop the Megiddo. Victor and Falchion fights while Gloria successfully defeated the Megiddo. After it's over, they come back to the cafe. The next day, while they're discussing about the book. A boy that goes by the name Hop is there sitting on a golden floating magic carpet in the cafe before it opens," Tassel closes the book, "And this chapter is focusing about gym battles, so Hop's rider form will be later in the next chapter. Don't worry, all of gym battles after this will be skipped so we don't have a boring filler," he says before transitioning into the chapter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4: Experience in the first gym!
We see a train that's operating and is in the railway. The surroundings and designs of the train feels like it's the 19s century because of the steam locomotives design of the train. On one of the windows of the passenger side, there's a man that's sitting on the seat and looking out of the window
"It's been a while since we've met. I wonder if we'll meet again like we promised,"
"Henry is that you?"
The person turns his head to see another man standing next to him
"Harry!"
"Oh my goodness! How things been!?"
Henry got up from his seat. They both hugged each other
"Can't believe my best friend who I haven't met in a long time is here!"
"We're more than just friends..."
Henry looks at him, "What do you mean by that?"
"Because we're..." He was interrupted
"Not to ruin your guys fantasies. But..."
The background is changed to the Bookcafe where they left off
She's sitting on the seat next to the counter while looking at them, "Do you guys always do this whenever you meet each other again?" Gloria asked them
Both separate themselves and looks at her
"Actually this is my first time roleplaying," Victor responded
"Then why does it felt like you've did it many times?" Gloria asked
"I learned that mostly from Touma," he replied, "And what we did was just our reunion,"
"Yeah, and I've changed my mind to help you get back to our home world," Hop said
"So you've made your decision?" She asked
"Yep. I got permission from Sonia if I can come here to help you guys. And after that I use the book gate to get here," Hop responded while showing the book
"Oh yeah. Did you brought your book and the Seiken with you?" Victor asked him
"Of course. I brought the Lamp Do Alangina Wonder Ride Book with me and this Driver," Hop replied then show them the items
"I can see that you've kept it with you," Victor said
"I know that they're important," Hop replied
"Do you have your risephone with you?" Gloria asked
"Risephone...?" Hop forget to bring that with him
"Did you forgot to bring it with you?" Victor asked
"Yeah... I totally forgot to bring mine!" Hop replied
"No worries, I can give you a new phone for communication," Victor said
"Wait really!?" Hop asked
"Yes. Here," he gives him the Gatrikephone
Hop receives it, "Woah... What does this do?" He asked
"It can do what a normal phone can. But with a twist," Victor replied
"And that is?" Hop asked
"That it can turn into our vehicle," Gloria responded
"Heh? Really?"
"Yep. You can," Victor said
"Can it call emergency?" He asked
"Yes..." Victor puts the Gatrikephone next to his ear, "Hello hello? I'm currently in a state of emergency," then immediately puts it away, "Of course it does," he replied
"I was just joking. Just asking too many questions for you. And also," Hop then took out a box, "I have this to give you guys something,"
"What is it that you're showing?" Gloria asked
Hop opens the box to reveal macarons, "This, I would've thought this makes sense since we're in Kalos,"
"Thanks for the offer," Victor replied while taking one
Meanwhile Gloria was just staring at the macaroons as they were talking
Victor notice her staring at it, "Gloria, are you okay?" He asked
Gloria snaps back and shakes her head, "No... I mustn't. A Swordswoman like me must have self-restraint and maintain their bodies," she looks back at the box, "But sugar can help the brain, and only eating one will be fine," she tries to pick one
"Why are you acting strangely towards the macarons?" Victor asked
She stops and puts her hand away, "N-no. I'm okay, don't need that anyways," Gloria said, "But one is okay," she took one
"Are you even listening to me? Hello?" Victor waved
Gloria turns to him, "Oh, what were we talking about?" She asked
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the royal throne room
Calibur went up to the rest, "It seems there's no plans for today," he said
"What!?" Falchion goes up to him, "What do you mean no plans for today?! You want to merge the worlds or not!?"
"Falchion that's enough," the figure on the throne said and Falchion stops, "He's right. No plans for today, for now,"
"So you want to delay it?" He asked
"There's still time for it to merge anyways if you are patient enough," the male figure said to him
"Don't you dare say how I act," Falchion said
"The world would've been merge a lot earlier if you weren't acting like a middle schooler during an argument," the male figure said
"Tch, I bet you were just holding back our plans, Legeiel," Falchion said his name
"We could've, if we didn't recruit you," Legeiel replied
"Can you two please stop arguing? It's annoying," the female figure said
Both stops and Falchion walks away from Legeiel
"Good thing that's settled," the figure on the throne said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the Fantastic Bookcafe Kamiyama
"So, when does a Megiddo starts attacking?" Hop asked
"There should be a GPS app that'll notify you about their presence," Victor replied
Hop taps on the app to see there's no Megiddo yet, "There's none, so I don't know when I'll use form," he said
"Good times will come if you waited patiently enough," Gloria said
"As if," Hop replied
"During this time, why don't we go to my first gym?" Victor asked
"That's a good idea," Gloria replied
"Wait, you're a Kalos trainer now?" Hop asked
"Yes. Because, I've decided to fit myself into the timeline to disguise myself," Victor responded
"So what's your first gym will be?" Hop asked
"I don't know, I'm currently thinking about it," Victor replied
"The first gym for you is the Santalune gym," Gloria said while looking at the Gatrikephone
"How'd you know?" Victor asked
"Because it says here that the gym is what most trainers goes to get their first gym badge," Gloria replied while looking at the Gatrikephone
"Cool, why don't we go there? I want to see how you do in a Pokemon battle since I haven't seen it," Hop said
"Actually, I won't bother to go and get a gym badge," Gloria said
"Why not?" Victor asked
"Did you forget?" She asked
Victor then realized that, "Oh... You meant you're already champion,"
"Yes, that's exactly why. So I can give you an opportunity to become Kalos champion if you want," Gloria replied
"What about you, Hop?" He asked
"I'll probably going to be a support or someone who'll be helping with stuff. Because well, I'm a professor back home. What things do I contribute? Blacksmithing? Knowing about the Seiken's feeling?" Hop asked
"I guess you can be our smart guy for now in our team," Victor responded
"Sure I guess I can do that, or a strategist that won't be consistent," Hop said
"Are we going to the gym or not? Or are we just going to have a conversation until tomorrow?" Gloria asked
Victor turns to her, "Oh, sorry. Got a little too carried away," he took out the book gate and open the page
"Open the gate"
The page goes to the entrance of the cafe door. "We won't travel there by foot anyways," Victor said while walking to the door and others follows
"So we're going to use a short cut whenever we're going to another place?" Gloria asked
"Yeah, and walking is boring anyways," Victor replied and opens the door then entering it
Both follows soon and they've entered the door and it closes behind them before returning back to normal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Night
Santalune city
A giant book appears then opens and flips it's page to show the three of them. They got out of the book and is in a random battlefield
"You sure it's here?" Hop asked
"Definitely," Victor replied
Until there was an explosion that releases smoke that covers the battlefield. They were coughing from the smoke
"Is there a Megiddo here?" Hop asked then took out his Driver
After it was cleared, they saw four people and a Pikachu in the battlefield having their hair puff up and is covered in dust after the explosion
Hop puts away his Driver, "What's going on here?" He asked
They goes up to the four people in concerns. Victor and Gloria recognize the three people
"Ash, Clement, Bonnie. Are you guys okay?" Victor asked
They turned their heads to him. "Yeah, we're fine," Ash replied
"What happened before? What was that explosion?" Hop asked
"Clement's invention goes boom..." Bonnie responded
"Invention?" Hop said
"Huh? Who are you?" Ash asked Hop
"Oh, I think I haven't introduced myself. My name is Hop, and I come from the Galar region like these two," he replied
"My name's Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu," he replied with Pikachu on his shoulder
"Pika pika!"
"My name's Clement, and this is my little sister Bonnie," he introduced himself
"Hi!"
Victor turned to the girl with them, "And who are you?" He asked
"Oh, my name is Serena, and I'm a new trainer," she introduced herself
"A new trainer huh?" Victor said
"Are you going to battle the Santalune gym, Victor?" Ash asked
"Yeah, since it's night. I'll battle it tomorrow," he replied
"So what were you doing in this battlefield?" Gloria asked
"Oh, I was just training," Ash replied
"Training for what?" Victor asked
"You see, this gym has a clever strategy," he replied
"And that is?" Victor asked
"She uses sticky web and icy floors, it was a difficult match for me to beat for the first time," Ash responded
'Usually sticky web will just lowers the Pokémon's speed, but I guess it works different here,' Victor's thought
"Oh and by the way, when will we have a Pokemon battle?" Ash asked Victor
"Well... Maybe later," he replied
"Like when?" He asked
"I'll decide when to battle. For now, good times comes when you wait," Victor replied, "Right, we'll be going to a Pokemon center. You can continue your training without our disturbance,"
"Kay, see you soon in the gym!" Ash said
The three walks away from them and goes far away
"So, are we going to wait for tomorrow?" Hop asked
"We can timeskip our way to tomorrow," Victor replied
"Wait, you can do that?" Gloria asked
"Yeah, since we're in this timeline we can go further without changing the timeline for now," Victor replied and opens the book gate
The giant book appears and opens it's page for them to enter. They went inside the book and it closes
--------------------------------------------------------------
The next day
Santalune gym
A giant book appears in front of the gym and the three comes out of it
"By the way, who was the user of Raimeiken Ikazuchi back in Touma's world?" Hop asked
"That would be Kento Fukamiya. Why'd you ask?" Victor asked
"Just wanting to know who can wield it besides me," Hop replied
"You should change your last name with Fukamiya too," Victor said
"Huh? Why?" Hop asked
"So we can have a proper identity and to keep ourselves a secret," Gloria replied
"I see... So, Hop Fukamiya?" He responded
"Yeah, that's how it goes. Just like my disguised name, Victor Kamiyama," he said
"And Gloria Shindo," she said
Hop smiles, "It's good to see our friendship has developed exponentially," he said
"We know, we've had this friendship since back home," Victor replied
"Yeah, it's always been there in our hearts ever since we've met," Gloria said
Then, they were about to went inside the gym for Victor to battle the Santalune gym leader. But see them again outside of it with the gym leader and her sister
"When looking through a camera's viewfinder, and things you'll only see clearly by living together with pokemon. Keep strengthening the bonds you share with your Pokemon, and good luck," the gym leader said
"Guess we were a bit too late to see your battle,"
They turned their heads to see the three of them. "Oh, Victor. Yeah, I've got my badge already," Ash said
"So what's the next gym you're heading?" Victor asked
"The next gym?" Ash said
"How about the gym in Cyllage city?" The sister of the gym leader said
"Cyllage city gym? That sounds great! But I do want to see what Victor's battle against Viola looks like," Ash replied
"It's okay, you can continue on your journey without seeing it," he said
"No, I really want to see what are your Pokemon that you're going to use," Ash responded
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the gym
Victor and Viola are in their sides of the battlefield about to have a Pokemon battle. The rest are watching him as the spectator
"The battle between Victor the Challenger and Viola the Santalune Gym leader will now begin!" The female referee said
"It's been a while since I've had a gym battle, and I still have that experience with me," he said while taking out a pokeball of his choice
"Each side will use two Pokemon and the battle will be over when either trainer's Pokemon are unable to continue. Only the challenger may substitute Pokemon," the female referee said
"So Victor, I heard that you're a photographer as well," Viola said while taking out her pokeball
"Yeah, we have one thing in common, that is taking photos. The only differences between me and you is that my photos are bad," Victor replied
"Oh... Nevermind, my lens is still focus on victory and nothing will ruin this shot. Go Surskit!" She throws her pokeball and Surskit comes out of it
"Surskit!"
"Surskit huh? A bug and water type. That won't be much a problem. Rookidee! Come out!" He throws his pokeball into the battlefield and Rookidee comes out of it
"Rookidee!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the spectator side
They were surprised to see a new Pokemon that's not from this region except for Gloria and Hop
"What Pokemon is that?" Ash asked
"That's Rookidee. A common bird pokemon found in the Galar region," Hop responded
"So that's what a Pokemon from the Galar region is?" Bonnie asked
"There's more, but I don't want this to be a 2 hour lesson about the Pokemon in Galar," Hop replied
--------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the battlefield
"The battle begins!" The female referee announces
"You can't take a picture without pressing the shutter and you can't win a battle without attacking! All right Surskit! Use Sticky web!" Viola said to her Pokemon
The Surskit starts shooting out webs at Rookidee
"Rookidee! Dodge them while using hone claws!" Victor said
Rookidee then dodges all of the webs fast enough while using hone claws to increase it's attack and accuracy
"Your Pokemon is as fast as Ash's Pikachu," Viola complimented
"I know, but his is just faster. Alright Rookidee, use peck!" Victor said
Rookidee goes forward while it's beak turns white
"Surskit use protect!" Viola said
Surskit incase itself in a light blue ball around itself and protect from Rookidee's attack
"Signal beam, go!" Viola said to her Pokemon
The Surskit then charges up a beam on top of it's antenna and unleashed it towards Rookidee
"Dodge and use power trip!" Victor said
Rookidee dodges the beam from mid air and goes to Surskit and hit it with power trip that increases it's attack stat
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn, Victor is good at this," Ash said
"That's because he's recently just completed facing gym leaders back in Galar. So he has a lot of experience from battling them," Gloria responded
"Does that mean he's really strong?" Bonnie asked
"He's definitely not the strongest, but he's a tough one," Hop replied
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Now use ice beam!" Viola said
'Crap that's bad news for Rookidee,' Victor thoughts, "Dodge it if you can!"
Surskit uses ice beam with it's antenna and shooting it up. Rookidee dodges the beam and see it going back down and turns the battlefield into an ice field
"An ice field? I've never seen like this before," Victor said
"A picture perfect ice battlefield! Now I have the upper hand if your next Pokemon that doesn't fly," Viola said
"I accept the challenge and the obstacles you gave me. But it doesn't mean that you'll automatically win this battle," Victor replied
"You really are an ambitious one. Surskit start skating," her Surskit is skating around the ice battlefield
'This definitely making it a lot more difficult to hit since it moves around too much...' Victor thoughts
"This ice battlefield is my studio, I'm the photographer and I'm starting to shine!" Viola said
"Let's see who has better photography in this battle," Victor said
"I accept that. Surskit use ice beam!" Viola said to her Pokemon
"Rookidee use peck while you dodge the beam!" Victor said
Surskit starts using ice beam at Rookidee that's in the air. Rookidee goes down to Surskit to use peck. The beam hits Rookidee and smokes covers the battlefield. Viola thinks that it has fainted until what came out of it surprised her. Rookidee comes out of the smoke and hits Surskit with peck, it hits on impact and sending Surskit back. Surskit is shown to be fainted from the move
"Surskit unable to battle, Rookidee wins!" The female referee said
"Roo!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
They were surprised by the results of the battle. "How did it survive? It's an ice move," Clement asked
"Well you see, not everything is always simple. Sometimes it can be beyond your expectations rather than what you knew," Gloria replied
"What does that mean?" Ash asked
"It just means that his team is pretty strong, and they sometimes can resist their type advantages except for four times weaknesses," Hop responded
"A Pokemon team that can withstand their type advantages? He's stronger than I thought," Ash said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Viola returns her Pokemon into it's pokeball, "Surskit you did well. Get a good rest," she said
"You know, making a ice battlefield is clever and all. But sometimes it doesn't go as what you're expecting," Victor said
"I know, and that's why I save this for last," she took out her second pokeball to use in battle, "Let's do this Vivillon!" Viola throws the pokeball into the battlefield
Vivillon comes out of it's pokeball, "Vivillon!"
"I haven't seen that one," Victor took out the risephone to scan the Pokemon
--------------------------------------------------------------
They notices this. "Hey, what's that he's using?" Serena asked
"That's... A phone exclusive in the Galar region," Gloria lied
"Y-yeah, it's only available in Galar," Hop lied as well
"Wow! Can't believe there's advance technology there too!" Ash said
"Don't be a little too excited about it," Gloria said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Victor done scanning the Pokemon, "Let's see... Vivillion Level 15... Moves, Solar beam, Gust, Psychic... Right that's the information I could get," he puts the risephone back into his pocket, "Use fury attack!"
Rookidee then flies up towards Vivillon to hit it
"Use psychic!" Viola said
Vivillion eyes turns light blue. Rookidee's body turns light blue and was swung around the battlefield before smacking into the ground
"Rookidee! You alright?" He asked
"Roo!" It then got up
"Okay, use fury attack!" Victor responded
Rookidee flies up and hits Vivillon multiple times with fury attack
"Now then use peck!" Victor said
Rookidee's beak turns white and goes up to Vivillon to peck it
"Dodge it quick!" Viola said
Vivillion dodges Rookidee's moves from hitting it
"Use gust!" Viola said
Vivillion's wings turns light blue and swinging it making a gust of wind at Rookidee
"Keep using peck!" Victor said
Rookidee was shown to have little effect after the gust and flies towards Vivillon and tries to hit it with peck
"Use sleep powder!" Viola said
'Sleep powder?' Victor thought
Vivillion spreads spores towards Rookidee as it's getting closer. Rookidee gets a whist of the powder and started dozing off and sleeps following by falling into the battlefield
"Rookidee!" Victor shouted
"Excellent picture. Vivillon use Solar beam!" Viola said
Vivillon charging up for the beam then shot it towards Rookidee. It got hit by the beam and made an explosion. After the smoke clears, it is shown that Rookidee has now fainted
"Rookidee unable to battle, Vivillon wins!" The female referee said
--------------------------------------------------------------
"It lost?" Ash said
"Not every Pokemon is invincible like Victor's Pokemon that you see. Everyone has its limits even if you break a limit, there's still another limit you'll need to break that is more difficult than the last one," Hop said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Victor returns Rookidee back into it's pokeball, "You did great. Now on my second Pokemon," he took out another pokeball, "Let's go, pal," he throws the pokeball into the battlefield. A Pokemon comes out of it's pokeball and it's reveal to be Scorbunny
"Scor!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
They were excited to see a new Pokemon that they don't know
"What Pokemon is that? It's so cute!" Bonnie asked
"That's Scorbunny, a fire type starter pokemon that new trainers get if they pick that one," Gloria replied
"A fire type starter pokemon?" Serena said
"Wasn't your starter pokemon was Cinderace before, Gloria?" Hop asked
"Yes it was, but we switch our starter when we got here," Gloria replied
"Huh, I can see that," he said
--------------------------------------------------------------
"A fire type huh? It can melt the ice with it's feet with ease, but can it defeat an opponent that's flying overhead?" Viola asked
"Together, we can. Because we have a beliefs of our own," Victor replied
"Beliefs?" Viola was confused
"Is that, we believe that we can change the outcome of this battle!" He responded
"Such a beautiful perfect burning passion. But you'll never change it! Vivillon use gust!" Viola said
Vivillon swings it's wings to produce a gust of wind at Scorbunny
"Scorbunny hang in there!" Victor shouted
"Scorbunny is currently is in a disadvantage, so you'll have to wait for your badge a little longer it seems," Viola replied
"Ain't no way I'm going to wait for tomorrow!" Victor responded
Vivillon is still using gust on Scorbunny while it's standing on it's feet trying to resist the wind that's pushing it back
"Even if it resists, it can make it easier to target. Vivillon use Solar beam!" Viola said
Vivillon charging up a Solar beam
"Now is the right time. Scorbunny, use quick attack!" Victor said
Scorbunny leaped into the air. Vivillon shoots it's Solar beam at Scorbunny and hits it
--------------------------------------------------------------
They were shocked to see that Scorbunny got it with a point blank blast with Solar beam
"Did he lose?" Ash asked
"We'll have to wait and see," Gloria replied
"Wait, there's something emerging!" Clement notice something from the smoke
--------------------------------------------------------------
Scorbunny comes out of the smoke and goes towards Vivillon
"Now, use double kick!" Victor said
Scorbunny instead was engulf in flames and goes to Vivillon and kicks it
"Wait, that's flame charge," Victor said
Scorbunny kicks Vivillon on impact, sending it to the ground
"Vivillon!" Viola shouted
After the smoke clears, it shows Vivillon had fainted
"Vivillon is unable to battle, Scorbunny wins! And the winner of the match is Victor!" The female referee announces
"Good thing that it's over," Victor said while Scorbunny goes up to him. He patted its head, "You did great out there, get some rest will you?" He returns Scorbunny back into it's pokeball
The rest goes to Victor. "You did well!" Bonnie said
"You were pretty strong I give you that," Clement said
"Can't wait for our match!" Ash said to him
"I'll decide when," Victor replied
"That Scorbunny was so strong!" Serena said
Meanwhile Calibur was watching them from the windows unnoticed by them. "Have as many fun as you can, before that time comes," he disappears into the darkness behind him
"I appreciate all of your compliments, it's great to hear all of it," Victor replied
"Victor,"
"Huh?" Victor turned around to Viola, "What is it?" He asked
"Congratulations, this is proof you won your gym battle against me, the bug badge," Viola said while the referee is walking up to Victor to give him the badge
"Sweet," he takes the badge, "The badge thing haven't change when I move here from Galar," Victor said
"It seems that it's done, come on let's go for another badge," Hop said
"Sure, see you guys later," Victor said to them
"See you guys later in another place in another time," Gloria said
The three walks out of the gym while waving goodbye at them. All of them waved back good-byes
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Fantastic Bookcafe Kamiyama
The three returns to the cafe after the gym battle
"Man, that's tiring. I haven't felt that ever since battling Raihan back in Hammerlocke," Victor said then sat down on the seat
"Yeah, you look like you gave it your all in there," Hop said
"I wouldn't say he use his full potential during battle but it was great," Gloria said
Victor nodded, "It was difficult before since I only can use two Pokemon," he replied
"You three..."
They turns their heads to see her
"Oh, Naomi. Is there something wrong?" Gloria asked
"Yes there is," she replied
"And that is?" Victor asked
"Would you three. Like to work in the cafe for tomorrow? There'll be no Megiddo yet," she responded
"Okay? Why are you telling this in a menacing way?" Hop asked
"Because... You three went missing for a day..." Naomi replied
"What? A day? I thought it was only overnight?" Gloria said
"Victor?" Hop said then turns his head to see Victor is missing, "Where did he go?"
"So, would you two like to assist me?~"
They turned their heads slowly to Naomi. "Y-yea ma'am,"
--------------------------------------------------------------
"And it ends here," Tassel closes the book, "A lot of questions was shown than answers. What does she mean by the memory? Why is Calibur stalking them and why did he say those in a different voice? A lot will be answered in the future chapters," he said
"Oh, after this. The first episode of short story will be debut right around now. It'll show the ending for this chapter first then show the short series," Tassel said and opening the book
CHAPTER 4 COMPLETE
SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pokemon Sword and Shield X XYZ X Kamen rider Saber: The belief in a story
Short stories
Episode 1: The introduction of the cast
It shows the four cast of characters sitting on a chair in the Sword of Logos base
"Welcome everyone!" They said at the same time while waving
"First episode will be an introduction episode since there's a chance no one ever heard Naomi before," Gloria said
"That's right, it's to make the readers understand who we are and what roles we got in the Rising Dreams series," Naomi said
"Let's start with you, Victor," Hop said
"Right, I'm Victor. And my fake name in this new series is Victor Kamiyama. The character's age start from 17 to 18 years old during the Rising Dreams, and the age is still the same as of now," Victor responded
"What about the role that you got?" Hop asked
"The role I got in the Rising Dreams is being one of the main character, and many other roles that I won't spoil for new readers but the old ones know what I did there, would say Aruto was in that world and I'm his cousin, as in he's in a body of my cousin and not literally my cousin," he responded
"Quite confusing but okay, now who's next?" Naomi asked
"Guess I'll go next, I'm Gloria. The fake name for in this new series is Gloria Shindo. The character age progression is the same as Victor, only started at 17 to 18 and is the same in this series. And the same as Victor, I don't want to spoil some details from the Rising Dreams series for new readers," Gloria responded
"So you're like the main character also?" Naomi asked
"Definitely, I am and still is till the phase 3 I think," she replied
"Don't tell some details about the previous series," Victor said
"I'll try my best to a minimum," she replied
"Okay, Hop. It's your turn," Naomi said
"Right, I'm Hop. And the fake name is Hop Fukamiya. The character age was unknown, since it wasn't told back in the Rising Dreams. But, confirmation from the author said that the character age is 18, same as them two. Would like to say a running gag about me debuting in the Short Series early than in the actual series is true," he responded
"How'd that happened?" Naomi asked
"Well, accordingly from the author, they said they added me because they wanted to add me very badly into the series but they can't, cause they can't fit me into the story well. So they decided to put me into the Short Series early than I was supposed to," he replied
"What chapter did you finally debuted?" Naomi asked
"Can I spoil some details?" He asked
"Only a little," Victor responded
"So, my debut in a few details was that it was in a stadium. I'm referring to the champion league I think it's called," Hop responded
"I think that's enough from you, it's Naomi's turn," Gloria said
"Yes! I'm excited, I'm Naomi and I'm one of the author's made up characters," she responded
"So there'll be more made up characters that we'll see?" Hop asked
"Yes! There's probably be more than one, there's a lot of them. For example, I don't know if I can say his name as to not spoil but Ryugh is one of them too. And there's many I don't want to say their names," she replied
"Sweet, can't wait to meet them all," Gloria said
"What about your age? We don't know how old you are," Victor asked
"He's right, you look around maybe in your young 20s by looks alone," Hop asked
"Well my age wasn't reveal back in the Rising Dreams, but with this introduction, my confirmed age from the author was that I'm a thousand years old," she replied
"A thousand years old!?" Hop was surprised
"And you're still that young?" Gloria said
"I'm surprised you're not a half demon and half vampire that looks like a little girl and act like a child," Victor said
"Where'd you get that idea from?" Naomi asked
"Many terrible tropes," Victor replied
"So, I think that's it for the episode. Not much to add here really," Gloria said
"Oh, what about adding a bonus skit?" Naomi asked
"Yeah that's a good idea, they didn't just waste their time reading this and expecting the humor in this," Hop said
"Who said what the author wrote in the Short Series is humorous?" Victor asked
"I don't know, probably someone who laughs at anime memes. That's a joke by the way don't attack me," Gloria said
"Are we starting the bonus skit or not?" Hop asked
"Yeah sure we can start it now," Victor
"Before we do that, let's say goodbye before the bonus skit starts," Naomi said
"Right,"
"Goodbye!" They said at the same time while waving goodbye

Bonus skit: Playing fetch
It showed Gloria in the forest with her pokeball
"All right Zacian, come on out!" She said then throws the pokeball
Zacian cones out of it's pokeball
"Hey Zacian, wanna play fetch?"
The Zacian nodded, Gloria picks up a stick and throws it at a direction in the forest. The Zacian then goes after the stick she had thrown
"Now let's wait for it to come back,"
Minutes has passed and Gloria got a bit worried
"It doesn't take this long, usually it comes back in a minute,"
She waited for another minutes for her Zacian to come back. Then, Zacian comes back from the bushes with something on it's mouth and Gloria was relieved
"Thank goodness you came back, so the stick..." She sees it's not holding the stick she thrown earlier
The object in question in it's mouth was Victor in his rider form. It was holding on to the blade above his head and he was dragged
"Gloria... Tell me why did you make your Zacian do this...?" Victor asked
Ends.
