"Bonne lecture! In the previous chapter we've seen Gloria's new form! That is the King Lion Daisenki. It's very powerful and can't wait to see it in combat with Ryugh's Jaou Dragon. Can't wait what will await us in this chapter and when will Victor's get his? We'll find out in the next chapter probably," Tassel said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 18: The darkness twist the crime!
In a private room, Ryugh is seen holding a picture. In the picture, it show him and another person
"I remembered you, now you just a living memory in my head, I can't even save anyone from that monster..." Ryugh said then has a flashback of his last interaction with Naomi
--------------------------------------------------------------
Flashback
"I want to talk to you first," Naomi said
"Take your time, before the time ticks away your life," Ryugh replied
"I want to ask, why are you that desperate for the book?" she asked
"If you ask such questions like that, do you even remember that person?" He asked
"I know that person is much powerful than you are. But it doesn't mean you have to change and corrupt into getting that book," Naomi replied
"It isn't about corruption of having more power, it's my instincts telling me to use that power to end that bastard's life," Ryugh responded
"It could've results the same if you side with them and not the book!" She said
"I would want to side with them, but they're not strong enough for that day to come," he replied
"Even so, you can stop that monster by siding with them and don't have to rely on the book," she replied
"Naomi, you don't understand. I've been traveling to different world more than you do, and how many successes I've made with siding with them? None, they aren't strong enough to stop it," Ryugh responded
"Why don't you consider going to another world where they are much powerful?" Naomi asked
"That still results the same, no matter how powerful they are, it's still not enough to stop it," he replied
"Is this why you always isolated yourself from others?" She asked
"If I didn't, I'd have connections with them. And do you know what happened the last time I had true friendship?" He asked
"They... Died," Naomi responded
"Exactly, they died by the hands of that bastard. Cause we can't have nice things in different world no matter what the rules are. There's no rules outside the worlds," Ryugh replied
"That isn't right, I know we can do it this time in this world, right? This is the world you've been prepared for," she asked
"Even with preparation, it's bound to fail," he replied
"We can stop that monster if we work together," she suggested
"Cooperation doesn't work as well, I learned that the hard way," he replied
"Then what can you do? What can we do to stop it?" She asked
"Nothing, not only one. The only best I can do, is to put you in the dark void," Ryugh responded
"You mean..."
"It's the best choice I have to keep you safe, so I don't have to see someone I care for getting killed,"
The Kurayami's blade turns dark. Ryugh stabs the blade into the ground and made dark trails going towards Naomi. The trails reaches under her as she looks back at Ryugh that's sending her away to the dark void
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't worry... I'll get you out when it's over..." He said to the Ankokuken Kurayami
Then, the door opens and a man entered the room
"Boss, you said you have the data,"
"I have, here," he then give the man a chip which he took it
"I'll be going,"
"Don't forget about our plans," he said
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Sword of Logos base
Tonare is checking out on the King Lion Daisenki Ride Book that Gloria recently received
"This book is quite strange," he said
"You don't know about this book?" Gloria asked
"Yeah, I've never seen something like this before," Tonare replied
"So you don't know... Wait, where is-" Gloria was interrupted
"I don't know,"
"But I said-"
"It's about Naomi, right? I don't know either," he replied
"Yeah, but why is she gone for several days now?" She asked
"I have no idea where did she go,"
"Is it something to do with Ryugh? Did he cause her to go missing?" Gloria asked
"It might, but more like not causation," Tonare replied
"Then what do you think happened to her?" She asked
"I thought about she's probably going for a long walk to find a Seiken wielder herself," he replied
"But why would she do that?" Gloria asked
"There are three more Seikens to find so I wouldn't be surprised if she's trying to help you guys," Tonare replied
"Good point but, she could've at least contacted us before or during finding the other Seiken wielders," she said
"Maybe, but I don't know any better," he responded
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Fantastic Bookcafe Kamiyama
Victor and Hop is seen together in the counter having a conversation
"What do you think about the book that she got?" Victor asked
"It was amazing, and also great because we have her to be on par with Ryugh," Hop replied
"Yeah, I think about the same. It could be on par with him, but we don't know if Ryugh's Jaou Dragon potential is much stronger than we anticipated," he said
"It could be, we don't know much about it. All we know that hopefully it'll be enough," he said
"Yeah,"
"So Victor, I heard about the Megiddo you encounter at the oasis, what kind of Megiddo was it?" He asked
"It was a Goblin Megiddo, and I think it was summoned there by Legeiel," Victor replied
"How'd you know?" Hop asked
"Because, his Alter Ride Book is on the Megiddo's chest," he replied
"Do you think they're planning something?" He asked
"I think so, I can't be so sure," Victor replied
"If it's something big, then we have to be strong to be ahead of them," Hop said
"That's the problem, I can't. I don't know how to draw out its true power of the book," he replied
"Maybe ask the guardian about how to draw the power?" Hop suggest
"I can't go back to Avalon, it takes too much time to go back, and I need Ryugh to open the door to Avalon again which I doubt he'll go," Victor responded
"So many flaws, yet we can't get through..." He said
Someone then puts their arms around their shoulders and shouted, "Heya boys!"
That startled them and turns their heads to see it's Mayer
"Oh, Mayer. You scared us," Victor said
"Don't do that ever again, it's not polite!" Hop said
"Sorry boys, but I came here because I heard Victor was going to challenge the Lumiouse gym, did I hear that correctly?" Mayer asked
"Yeah, that's me," he replied
"Great! Because you'll be battling against my son," he said
"I know that, I already met your son before our battle," Victor said
"Speaking of the gym battle, is he in the gym?" Hop asked
"Well yes, he's-"
The fridge to the Sword of Logos base was swung open and Gloria got out of it
"What is it, Gloria?" Victor asked
"Take a look at this," she then show them a news article on her Gatrikephone
They take a look at her phone to see a news headline
"A mysterious robot doing a crime?" Hop read the headlines
"Isn't that... Clembot?" Victor asked
"Yeah, it looks identical to Clement's Clembot," she replied
"Do you think it did something like that?" He asked
"I don't think it did," Mayer responded
"How'd you know, Mayer?" Hop asked
"You see, Clembot has been changed its AI system so it won't need trainers to have five badges to enter the gym. But it wouldn't do something like this first of all," he replied
"Do you think someone had hacked it?" Gloria asked
"Maybe, but I can't be so sure," Mayer said
"Then check on them, they're probably at the police station," Hop suggests
"I'll go, I know how robots work," Victor said
"Me too," Gloria responded
"Guess I'll be behind, take care you two," Hop said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Outside of the police station
Ash, Clement, Bonnie, and Serena all got out of the police station after failing to get Clembot innocence and going to try to get it to find some more evidence of it's innocence. Then, Mayer arrived with Victor and Gloria to meet them
"Son,"
Clement look over to see it's his father, "Dad?"
"Daddy!" Bonnie went up to her dad and he picked her up
"It's my sweet Bonnie! Welcome home it's nice to see all of you," Mayer said
"It's nice to see you," Ash said
"Why are you two here?" Serena asked
"We're here because we heard something about a robot doing some crimes," Gloria replied
"And that's Clembot, right? I heard its been arrested," Victor asked
"Clembot did nothing wrong!" Clement replied
"Right, I know that," Mayer replied
"Guys!"
They turned their heads to see Alexa is running towards their direction
"Alexa?" Ash said
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the royal throne room
Legeiel came back to the room with a smile on his face
"My, what has gotten you to have that smile on your face?" Storious asked
"Because... I have been given permission to beat Falchion anytime I want! It's such an amazing feeling...!" He replied
"Aren't you a sadistic type," Zooous asked
"You don't get it Zooous, after all of those times that man child has cause us. I finally gave him the punishment he deserves," Legeiel responded
"You really hated him that much do you?" She asked
"Of course! I did, so...so wonderful, that I cannot even express it!" he replied
"Very well,"
They turned their heads to see Ryugh in the room
"Don't forget about our plans," Ryugh said to them
"Do not worry, I don't forget about anything at all!" He replied
"Keep your sadistic nature away, we need more of those Goblin Megiddos of yours, to open the portal to reach the Book of Omnipotent," Ryugh replied
"I know that, I just wanted to celebrate for a short while before we'll continue," Legeiel said
"Well done, don't forget about it when the time comes," Ryugh left the room
--------------------------------------------------------------
At them
In the middle of the Lumiouse city
"Videos?"
"Yes, they're of the three-star hotel in high-end boutique incidents, they were caught by security cameras and both videos show a robot who just like Clembot," Clement responded
"Let me get this straight, a robot out there who just happened to looks like Clembot and is doing crimes to frame Clembot of the crimes?" Victor asked
"It could be that or it can changed it's body to not get caught," Alexa said
"But it's not Clembot," Bonnie said
"Of course I know that, so I've been looking into the incidents on my own. During my research, I discovered the masked man is involved," she said
"Masked man?"
"Buster, that's the name he goes with," Alexa said
"Buster? No way," Ash said
"It seems he's trying to get to the bottom of this as well," she said
"Really?"
"Y-you're not serious, are you? You're saying Buster is real?" Mayer asked
"Yeah, and there's times where he's working with Saber and his allies where they're real, and also his Mega Blaziken," Alexa responded
"Uh, Saber and his allies? Well that's a new one on me," he said
"True, Buster had always helped us and Saber before," Ash said
"Buster might have some kind of lead," Alexa said
"I think maybe, but we don't know his true motives," Gloria said
"And those videos are all we have, at least for now. All I could think of is it made to look just like Clembot," Clement said
"Maybe someone hacked it?" Victor asked
"No way, it can't be easily been hacked," he replied
"If it isn't hacking, then what is it?" Gloria asked
"Wait, I think of something else," Alexa said
"What is it?"
"They'd probably used blueprints, they wouldn't be able to make Clembot without them, right?" She said
"Right,"
"So tell me where are the blueprints," Alexa asked
"I filed them up in prism tower, they're saved on the computer there," Clement replied
"Then I suggest you go there right now and see if you can find any leads," she suggested
"Right,"
"Meanwhile I'll see what I can find out," Alexa said
"That would be great," he replied
"We're gonna prove Clembot had nothing to do with this!" Ash said
"For sure,"
"All right!"
"Dedenne nenne!"
"Pika!"
"Guess I'll help you guys too," Victor said
"Yeah,"
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Prism tower computer room
After Clement check on the computer, he finds something disturbing going on
"What's up?" Ash asked
"I knew it," Victor said
"I've uncovered concrete evidence that this computer's been hacked," Clement responded
"Check on the blueprints," he suggested
Clement goes to the blueprint files and to see that someone had copied the blueprints entirely
"It appears somebody located and copied all of them," he replied
"That means Alexa was right all along," Serena said
"Then who hacked through the files?" Gloria asked
"Hang on one sec," Clement then started to trace the one who copied the blueprints on his computer, "If I can trace the computer that hacked into this one in the first place,"
"Great idea," Victor said
"You can do that?" Ash asked
Then he finally trace the computer that hacked on his computer to see it's from Lumiouse University
"Apparently this shows the hackers are working from Lumiouse University on the robotics department server," he went deeper into the server and finds the blueprint, "A ha! Clembot's blueprint! This proves they stole them from there, they even stole Clembot's operating system," then he find another blueprint that matched the one on the security cameras, "That's it! The robot from the videos, it looks exactly like Clembot!"
"Like Clembot got an evil twin," Ash said
"And that means that Clembot's bad," Bonnie said
"It seems they're copying from the original as they can," Victor said
"But who would do something like this?" Gloria asked
He went into more detail about the blueprint file to see a place, "It says electronic storage," then went further to see another place, "Look at that! It's the Lumiouse Museum,"
"Lumiouse Museum?" Bonnie asked
"Maybe they're gonna hit it next," Ash said
"That could be a possibility," Victor said
"Yeah, copy it and send it to officer Jenny in case if it's true," Gloria suggested
"Okay, I'll do it," Clement then insert the cord into the computer and was about to plug the other cord into his backpack until something showed up on the computer, "Huh, it says... BiSha,"
"BiSha... That's... No way," Victor mumbled while that name feels familiar
"That's probably a username to disguise its identity," Gloria said
"You're right, let's go to officer Jenny," Clement said
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the Police Station
Officer Jenny review the files and blueprints that they gave her
"It looks exactly like Clembot," then she turns to them, "We gave the surveillance footage a closer look, there was no dent on it's head,"
"Because it isn't Clembot, I tried to tell you!" Clement said
"You see Officer Jenny? That robot is the one who did all of this horrible stuff," Ash said
"They're right, and there a lot of evidences presence on that file," Victor said
"That possibility can't be ruled out, so tell me Clement, where exactly did you get a hold of this data?" Officer Jenny asked
"I discovered someone hacked into the Prism tower computer and stole Clembot's blueprints, I kept tracing further and further back until I found the keyword BiSha," he responded
"BiSha?"
"Do you know anything about it?" Serena asked
"We had an incident similar like this in the past, a username goes by Bisha has hacked through our technology before, never would've thought they'll be back, I'll investigate this further," she responded
"One more thing, please have a look at this," Clement then showed her another file about the electric storage, "These are the floor plans for an electronic warehouse,"
Then that made her shocked, "Oh no, another incident occurred there,"
And that made them surprised
"What happened?"
Officer Jenny then went to the board and showed them the inside pictures of the destroyed electronic warehouse
"These electronics were burnt to a crisp," she said
"That's awful,"
"So it was true,"
"And this situation is only getting worse," officer Jenny said
"Oh, that's right! It has the Lumiouse Museum file too," Clement said
"The Lumiouse Museum? If they're going to strike again,it's possible they'll going to target the museum next," she said
"Right, so that proves Clembot's innocent. Please release Clembot," he asked
"Hmm,"
"Officer please! The only one who can stop fake Clembot is Clembot and you know it," Clement said
"He's right, Clembot's needs to be released after seeing that it was a different Clembot that did it," Victor said to her
"All right, I will," officer Jenny made her mind
They went towards it's cells and officer Jenny unlock the bars and freed Clembot from it's cell's
"Sorry for the trouble I caused," it said
"Okay, you're free to go," she said
Clement then went up to it, "Clembot please, we need your help right away,"
"Sir,"
"The real criminal needs to be caught, now!"
"I'm happy to help," it replied
"All right, it's all for one!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Evening
At the Lumiouse Museum
They're outside of the museum during the evening to find out of the true culprit and stopping the fake Clembot
"I've notified the museum officials, the most important thing to remember, is you must stay hidden and quiet, we'll strike once we caught them on the act, let me know if anything comes up," officer Jenny said to them
"We will!"
"We'll stop them from achieving their plans,"
Timeskip to night, everyone is quietly walking around the museum to find the culprit who did it
Then, Ash sees a shadow and looks up to see a figure on top of the museum then quickly hide to inform others
The figure on top of the museum was the fake Clembot. And another person is also in the museum, a man in a lab coat that comes out of hiding to command the fake Clembot
Without the fake Clembot noticed, the real Clembot came and kicked it that results them falling to the ground. The man was surprised by this until someone called him out
"So you're BiSha!?"
"Dr Belmondo?"
The man turns his head to see them, "Who are you?"
"This monster tries to sneak inside the Lumiouse Museum," Clembot said
"Just what are you planning to do with that fake Clembot?" Clement asked
"To frame your robot is a common criminal, simple as that," Belmondo replied
"I'll go and get officer Jenny right now," Serena said before runs off
"Okay,"
"Mark my words, I make the very best robot the world ever seen. From the moment I saw your Clembot, I knew it wasn't complete, and that's what I realised what needs to be done! So I did it, my dark Clembot is robot perfection! The greatest robot ever created!" Belmondo said
"You couldn't be more wrong! My Clembot is a masterpiece of robotic design!" Clement responded
"Think what you want, no doubt you've ruined my ambition to frame your robot and have dark Clembot be the hero who catches him and saves the day. Now we must battle to find out which robot is best! Let's see which robot is truly the greatest," he replied
"You use the magnificent power of science to fulfill your selfish ambitions, I'll take you on!" He said
"Look what we have here, a Pokemon battle,"
"And don't forget about me,"
They look over to see a Goblin Megiddo appears that made them surprised
"It's that Megiddo again," Ash said
"So you're working with them!?" Clement asked
"It's to make this fair," Belmondo replied
"He's right, if you win, then I'll come to destroy your robot,"
Then, Saber and Blades came with their Wonder Combo form and fight the Megiddo
"Clement, take on the battle while we take care of the Megiddo!" Saber said
"It's you guys,"
"Don't worry about us, we've fought the Megiddo before," Blades said
"Right,"
As they continued to fight the Megiddo, both Dr Belmondo and Clement have their robots take on a Pokemon battle
"Magneton!" The dark Clembot said while shooting out it's pokeball that comes out of it
"All right then, Clembot I'm counting on you," Clement said
"Understood sir, Heliolisk!" It then shoot out it's pokeball that comes out of it
And now the Pokemon battle between the two Clembot's has started
"Thunder Shock, let's go,"
The Magneton then launches bolts of electricity at the Heliolisk
"Heliolisk, dodge,"
The Heliolisk dodge the move by leaping into the air
"Use Electro ball,"
Magneton then produces a ball of electricity that fired at the Heliolisk
"Now, use Dragon Tail to counter the attack,"
The Heliolisk's tail turns green and smack away the electro ball that reflect it back
"Magneton tackle,"
Magneton then went towards the electro ball and got itself hit by it and passed through to tackle the Heliolisk that's in the air that made it fall
Meanwhile for Saber and Blades, they've on the top of the museum when the Megiddo about to hit them, Buster came in and block it
"Buster!" Victor said
"Heya kids, don't forget who's the grownups here," Mayer then pushed the staff away and slashed the Megiddo
"We're not kids y'know!" Gloria said
Both went to the Megiddo to attack it once more. While at the ground, Alexa notices them fighting the Megiddo together
Back to the battle
Officer Jenny came back to the museum to arrest the person, "Dr Belmondo and dark Clembot, you two are coming with me, I have a few questions,"
Dr Belmondo chuckled in response
"Do it Magneton, use Flash Cannon,"
The Magneton launches a white energy bean towards the Heliolisk
"Dodge and use Parabolic Charge!"
The Heliolisk leaps into the air and reveal it's frill to use it's electricity at the Magneton
"Use Tackle Magneton!"
The Magneton went and tackle the Heliolisk to the ground
"Heliolisk!"
The Heliolisk got back on it's feet while getting healed by the move
"You're slow Magneton, pick up pace,"
"All right, this battle is over!" Clement said
"Over!?"
"You've already lost, your robot couldn't care less about the conditions of your pokemon one bit! All it cares about is winning. My Clembot always battles alongside my pokemon," he said
Dr Belmondo laughs it off in response, "What a fool, the only thing that matters in battles is getting the win, that's how I programmed dark Clembot, and that's what makes him the most powerful robot of all!"
"Wrong Belmondo, the robot who is best at Pokemon battling cares about Pokemon above all else and that definition describes my Clembot," Clement responded
"He's right, you lost Belmondo, just give it up already," Ash said
"Pika pika!"
Then they heard a crash and turned their head to see the Megiddo is down and defeated by the three Swordsman
"It's Buster and his friends," Bonnie said
"Ash!"
He turned his head to see it's Alexa running up to them, "It's Buster, see,"
"Yeah,"
"There's no other way for you to go, there is no conclusion of you making the best robots in the future," Saber said
"Give up, or we'll force you to," Blades said
Dr Belmondo was cornered by them all. He has no choice but to give up and forfeited until someone came
"I'm very disappointed in you, Belmondo,"
He turned around, "You... Boss?"
"Ryugh..." Saber mumbled
"I've given you the chance, and yet this is the best you can give me?" He asked
"Give me another chance, I'll-" he was interrupted when the dark energy is slowly consuming him
"There is no another chance," Ryugh replied
"What's going on?" Blades asked
"He's sending him to the dark void," Buster replied
"Dark void?" Saber asked
"Dark void is a special ability that the Ankouken Kurayami only possess, it's a pocket dimension to send unfortunate souls into the void forever," he responded
"Please! Don't send me to the void!" Belmondo begged Ryugh
"Begging won't solve anything," he responded
The dark energy finally consumes Belmondo whole that sends him to the dark void. Others were shocked to see what Ryugh have done to Belmondo
"Stop right there, come with me cause you are under arrest," officer Jenny said
"Why am I arrested? I gave him the life sentence," he replied
"You killed a man whom I want to have my questions answered," she replied
"There's something I want to reveal to you. I am BiSha," Ryugh revealed his identity
"What!? So you're the one that hacked through my computer?" She asked
"Your computer's security was too easy, get a better one next time," Ryugh then took out the Jaou Dragon Ride Book and scan it on the blade
"Jaou Read!"
Then insert it into the Driver and press the button
"Ankouken Kurayami!"
"Henshin,"
"Fury in the dark!~ Jaou Dragon!"
Ryugh has transformed into his rider form and walks towards them. But then, Blades got in his way
"I won't let you hurt them," then she took out the King Lion Daisenki Ride Book and insert it into the slot of the Driver and unsheathed the sword
"NAGARE BATTOU!"
"King Lion Daisenki!~"
Blades has changed her form to fight Calibur
"I see that you've got yourself a new form," Ryugh said then approaches Blades
She ran towards Calibur and going for a strike. He then blocks her attacks and was slashed from behind by Buster and Saber
"We won't let you do whatever you want!" Saber said
"That's a shame," Ryugh then closes the book and press the button to activate his finisher
"JAOU! Finishing Strike!"
Calibur then charges his blade while they initiated their finishers. He then launches a wide energy slash towards them and they counter it with their slash finishers
Together, they destroyed the dark energy slash that made smokes, when it was cleared, Calibur is never to be seen again
"He got away," Blades said
"We'll get him next time," Saber said
Buster turns his head to them, "Ash, Clement, I heard you two will have a Pokemon battle, right?"
"Wait how'd you know that?" Ash asked
"I know everything happening in this city, so good luck you two!" he replied
The three uses the book gate to teleport away from them and to hide their identity
"Hey wait!" Alexa ran towards them but they already teleported away and disappears from her sight, "Oh come on! I had the chance!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the Sword of Logos base
Mayer, Victor, and Gloria came back from the museum
"That was awesome, it's nice to fight alongside you, Mayer," Victor said
"Yeah, you did great too, kids," he replied
"We're adults, so we're already grownups," Gloria replied
"But you're still young, that's all I see from you," Mayer said
"Yeah, I know that," he said
"Welcome back, you three," Hop said
"We're back,"
"Talking about how we fought the Megiddo, what about I invited you guys to my workshop to treat you guys something because I owe you all," Mayer asked
"We insist on that," Victor replied
"C'mon, I know you are hungry, so be there tomorrow, okay?" He asked
"I don't mind," Hop said
"Yeah, and it can be your preparation before battling against Clement," Gloria said
"Fine, I accept it," Victor responded
"See? I knew you would accept it," Mayer said
"Hopefully you don't have bakers goods in there, or else she would be delighted," he said
"What? Hey!" Gloria was mad
"It's true!" Victor said
"I'll show them what's true about you," she threatened
"Wait don't!" He said
--------------------------------------------------------------
"And that's the end of the chapter, it was a great one like any other chapters. For now, see you soon," Tassel said
CHAPTER 18 COMPLETE
SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER

Pokemon Sword and Shield X XYZ X Kamen rider Saber: The belief in a story
Short stories
Episode 15: Who let them cook?
It shows the trio are in a kitchen setting. Victor is wearing the red apron, Gloria's blue apron, and Hop is wearing the yellow apron. And theirs represents their rider's colour
"Is mentioning the apron that important?" Hop asked
"Well, it's to let the readers know, and you don't want any mess on your shirt your wearing," Gloria responded
"Alright! Today's episode will be one of the longer ones, probably going to get us in 6K words if it's long enough," Victor said
"So what're we doing today?" Hop asked
"Just like what the title says, this episode is about us cook," he replied
"Only the three of us?" Gloria asked
"Only the three of us. And the finished product will be judged by someone," Victor said
"Who is the judge?" Hop asked
"I don't know because it'll be a surprise of who is who that'll judge us. It'll either be Tonare, Mayer, or even past characters from the Rising Dreams series. But who knows who it might be," he responded
"You're hyping this up, or else the readers will be disappointed by the results," Gloria said
"Don't worry, it's a two part episode. And oh yeah, the categories won't be the same for all of us," Victor said
"What does that mean?" Hop asked
"It means let's say Hop gets to bake, and Gloria and I can't get the category he got, so we got others like frying, roasting, basically any other cooking methods to use," he responded
"I can see that," she said
"Now, before we start, we have to take a roll of paper from the glass bowl to choose which method of cooking we'll use," Victor said
"You really carrying the dialogue here," Hop said
Then, the glass bowl was put on the countertop with rolls of paper in it for them to take. They took the paper once, so they can choose unknowing what they've gotten
"Alright, everybody got their papers?" Victor asked
"Yup,"
"I got mine,"
"Okay, let's unroll these papers,"
The trio then unroll the papers they've gotten to see what method they got
"I got... Baked desserts, what about you two?" Victor asked
"Baked desserts? I got that," Hop responded
"...huh?"
"Me too, I got baked desserts," Gloria said
"Wait, that isn't supposed to happen," Victor said
"Then what was?" She asked
"It was supposed to be different for each of us and not the same," he replied
"Then, who was in charge of this?" Hop asked
"It was me,"
They turned their heads to see Ryan
"Ryan? It was you that did it?" Victor asked
"Y-yeah, and the papers in that bowl is the same," he replied
"But, they said different methods!" He said
"That was just a lie, it was just to suprise you," Ryan responded
"Then... That means we have to make different desserts," Gloria said
"Exactly, same category but different foods," he said
"Well this is gonna be difficult, I've never bake before," Hop said
"Don't worry, you'll receive those book recipe for you to decide on what you're going to make," Ryan said
"But I still would mess it up unknowingly," he replied
"All right, calm down, we can do this," Victor said
"Not we of course, but I'll try my best," Hop said
"Okay, guess I'm out," Ryan said before leaving them alone so the episode would continue without more questioning
"So... What are you going to make?" Victor asked Hop
"I'm deciding on what to make," he replied
"What about you, Gloria?" He asked
"Hm?" She was already mixing her ingredients in the mixing bowl
"You started already?" Victor asked
"Well yeah you guys were wasting your time talking," Gloria replied
"Well then, we'll put a filter on you to distract you. That's fair enough," he said
"Wait what filter you're talking about?" She asked
"Author! Turn on that filter that changes her accent!" Victor yelled
"Wot filte' you talkin 'bout?"
"Allow me to intervene to question what is the matter of her changing her dialect?" Hop asked
He turns to him, "Wait for a second, user shift your dialect as well?" Victor asked then realized his change as well
"Hah! Karma got ya gud,"
"This situation is getting ludicrous, wordsmith! Switch ours to be turned off exception for the person of the opposite se to have hers remains identical!"
"Wat!? Change mine off would ya!?"
"Is- is mine normal? Okay, but don't change hers," Victor said
"Is me normal- damnit!"
"Did you choose violence after you woke up or something, Victor?" Hop asked
"Hey, I thought we could change it up a bit, y'know. Our dialogues are almost the same by speech and sometimes it's confusing of who's saying," he replied
"They can imagine our voices in their heads, dummy," Gloria said
"Your voice is back," Hop said
"Aw, I wanted to see her keeping that throughout the episode," Victor said
"The author says they can't continue writing her speech like that," Ryan responded
"Then get better than that," he said
"Well I don't want to experience that again," she said
"Are we going to make the desserts or not?" Hop asked
"What? What were we doing earlier? I forgot," Victor replied
"Did you seriously forgot...?" Gloria asked
"Hey, I was too focused on making fun of you. Sorry," he responded
"Whatever, you two need to start or else the author would be too lazy to write more not very funny dialogues," she replied
"Right! I'll be making mine. And also you two mustn't reveal what you're making so it can be revealed in the next episode where the second part is," Victor said
"Sure, I'll be making mine now," Hop said
"The ingredients are inside of this cabinet in this countertop," Gloria said
"Okay, imma get my first ingredients," Victor said and open the cabinet to get the first ingredients
"Then I will get water first," Hop said and goes to the sink to get tap water
"You're getting tap water?" Gloria asked
"Yeah, it's clean. I hope," he replied
"Actually, Hop. There's a disturbing story behind that sink before it installed here," Ryan said
"What?"
"A homeless man once busted a big nut into that sink before it was sold," he responded
Hop looks back at the sink and almost throw up, "He what!?"
"Where'd you know that story?" Gloria asked
"Victor told me about it," he replied
"Oh of course he does," she said
"Listen, life is short, so we need to add something to entertain our readers," Victor replied
"And make a fake story to make us gagged?" Gloria asked
"Eh, there'll be a timeskip sequence after this dialogue. So we don't bore our readers to imagine what we're putting and not giving hints to what we're making," he replied
Timeskip
Their stuff are in the oven to bake for a while, with this time, they'll have to fill it with something
"That was the worst timeskip if I've ever seen one," Gloria said
"Alright! Since we have nothing to do while we wait, we're going to tell trivia about Kamen riders," Victor said
"Why that one?" Hop asked
"Because, there are some Pokemon fans who do not know about Kamen rider when reading this. They were probably curious and read this chapter and not know about the franchise itself," he responded
"Well tell us if you're sure about it," she asked
"Here," Victor giving out papers to them, "These has the trivia in them,"
"Alright, who's going first?" Hop asked
"I'll go first if you can't," he replied then read the first one, "By the way, disclaimer before I say the fact, these are sometimes gonna be different if you ask different fans or people who likes the franchise,"
"The author wrote those, right?" He asked
"This is based on what they know about the franchise and aren't the person you should rely information on. Alright, enough disclaimer, the first fact about the Kamen rider franchise itself, currently and by the time this chapter is published, it's currently 52 years old," Victor read
"52 years old? That's pretty old," Gloria said
"It's still running to this day and the current rider airing as of now is Kamen rider Geats, it's Ace if you don't know," he responded
"Then why isn't it in mainstream media if it's that old?" Hop asked
"Probably due to rights issues, so it's sometimes only available in one country that most of you know," he replied
"Right, now who's going to read next?" He asked
"I'll go then," she said then read what's on the paper, "Second fact, uh..."
"Is there a problem?" Victor asked
"Look," Gloria showed the paper to him
He reads it, "Oh, this talks about the influence of the franchise itself on other series, like references,"
"Okay...?"
"Wait, what does it read?" Hop asked
"It says... The latest Pokemon Lokix is a reference to Kamen rider Black," Gloria read
"More specifically the movie, so they made it as a homage for the movie," Victor said
"I heard many other people when they first saw it, their first reaction that it looks like that one chainsaw anime," Hop said
"That's fine sometimes, not everyone gets the reference, plus it's difficult to input a Kamen rider like design into a pokemon design unless you make them mechanical or other way around," he responded
"Okay, my turn," Hop said then read the paper, "It says..." He was interrupted when the oven is done baking
"Alrighty! So that conclude the episode!" Victor said
"Wait! I haven't finished yet!" Hop said
"Too bad, now in the next episode, our desserts we've made will be judged by someone special," he said
"I can see why Ryugh wanted to leave so badly," Gloria said
Ends.
