Quilava-Quarry

I knew to stay on the offensive to get a headstart in this fight,but I couldn't seem to land a single hit,and even when I did,he seemed to bounce back at me like rubber or a spring,and everytime he did,the rebound smacked me harder than a bullet,and it even happened when I used my damn saber. and even then,that's not all he dished out ;the gems around his neck shot lasers at me which were too fast for me to dodge,I felt like I had no way of winning! I eventually found myself on the ground ; aching and practically unable to move while von Rocky towered over me. "don't you see? You can't defeat me. You're weak and pathetic ; and the idea that you could even come close to striking me down is LAUGHABLE! but maybe you'll understand if I tear out your nerves and chop them up!" he said in an increasingly sinister tone as he forcefully stepped on my neck to strangle me as I lay there unable to stop him. It was here that I was sure that I wouldn't make it out alive,and that certainty grew as

days later,I decided to visit the contest area to see who was making wishes at that time,but there only seemed to be one person there : a strangely colored Rockruff just sitting there,looking at the tree. Despite what would seem like common sense,I tried to get it's attention ; "Um...excuse me." In response to my voice,It...turned it's head 360 degrees to face me before responding with "What the hell happened to my tree?!" "Your tree?!" I asked back. It turned the rest of it's body towards me,then snarled at me. " IT WAS YOU,WASN'T IT!" It yelled. "come on,it was gonna kill me!" I said back at it. "what did you do? wish for it's sentience so you could steal other people's wishes?" I asked him! "EXACTLY!" He responded. then as I got a good look at him,I recognized his colors,his features,I knew who he was. "Wait a second,You're baron von Rocky,right?" I asked. "yeah yeah,I know." he said in a noncaring tone. "Look,just either give me a free wish or die!" "that's it,I don't care about

staring right at the tree,I could tell that this was it : I have finally earned my wish...anything I wanted could be within my grasp. I was about to state my wish,but I stopped myself ; I needed to really think about what I really wanted,as I would only get one wish. I then started thinking about what everybody else wanted ...then I got an idea. So I spoke my wish,and... the next day,I woke up back at the quarry,feeling somewhat proud of myself ; I then happily returned to the contest area to see everybody at the tree watching and making wishes. You see,what happened was that I had wished for everyone to be able to watch the cherry blossoms and each get one wish. I even made a list of things that can't be wished for. The list includes stuff like unlimited power,immortality,mortality,death,ruling the world,infinite wealth,etc. Nevertheless,I saw everybody there; in fact,I saw Blaze leaving the area around the tree. "Hey Blaze. did you make a wish ? " I asked. " Sure did,but you might

finally,after all this time,I'd actually be able to see the wonderfull cherry blossoms. I just needed to know where this tree was so I could get my wish. then the intercom said " Kio Komada,please report to the preliminary arenas" I wasn't sure about why I was ordered to go there,but I still did exactly that. When I arrived,I saw what looked like an open door,which I chose to investigate ; I entered what was in the door and saw...the tree : the huge cherry blossom tree. I knew now that it was time for me to get my wish. "Um...so...my wish is for..." I hesitantly said,but then... "now hold on just a minute. you have just one more opponent you need to defeat." a strange and booming voice had said. I looked around to see who spoke,but then...I saw the tree start to move....and morph...this wasn't just some cherry blossom tree ; it was a giant Trevenant! "I am Akayashi : the tree of hexes and curses! " It had said to me , " If you really want your wish,you're going to have to defeat me! "

the results of the previous battles were,to me,rather boring ; Rip beat Mogowa despite how often she got back up,as with how Tsotsuko kept on popping back up to beat Marty,but at least it was a bit of a mix up when Vyaun ; despite her small stature,took down Mimi,and when Kabuki beat brail through making no sound. but now... it's MY turn to fight. My opponent is Unzan Koburio : a Darkrai said to guard the enterance to Bhava-agra : the highest point in the universe. I didn't know what kind of tricks she would hit me with,but I needed to be brave. When I stepped foot inside the arena,it seemed she was already there waiting for me. "you may now begin the fifth match" the intercom said. I made sure I was prepared by bringing out y k-saber,but suddenly,when she saw the saber,she screamed,and then said "I GIVE UP! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!" I had won the match by default,but was NOT happy about it. "BULL SHIT!" I yelled out as I threw down my saber in a fit of rage ; I was promised a
