Chapter Text
A single day passed, Usagi spent the day by the bedsides of her father; Kabu and her mother; Velvette. Nearly 6 o clock in the morning. Chairman Rose arrived to see the squad. After seeing Piers and Bea, he entered the room of Kabu and Velvette. He saw Usagi between Velvette’s and Kabu’s bedsides. She was asleep with her head on her mother’s bed. Rose cleared his throat.
Usagi with foggy eyes from sleep woke up and noticed Chairman Rose’s presence. Soon she stood up in attention.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to lecture them. I came to check on them and bring them presents for a fast recovery.” Rose flashed his trademark smirk.
Usagi wiped some of the sweat forming on her forehead.
“How are they ?” asked Rose curiously and worried.
“My father broke some ribs and my mother has a head concussion.” replied Usagi. She sulked even more
“I see. My wishes for a quick recovery. And here these flowers, for Ms.Velvette and this box of the finest Lava Cookies one can buy here in Galar for Mr.Kabu.” said Rose with a small smile and brushed his hair backwards. He continued. “I shall now go ask the doctors when they will be able to fight again or I will have a new squad...but Kabu, Piers and Bea are the most powerful trainers in my arsenal.” said Rose saddened.
“I see.” said Usagi and lowered her head in sorrow and understanding.
“I mean. There’s Nessa, Leon, Raihan but these are off Galar at the moment on a tour to advertise the Pokemon League tourism of Galar.” sighed Rose. “Anyways, I hope soon they will be better. I’m sure all will go well. Goodbye for now…” he turned to leave. “Oh and give them my regards.” with that Chairman Rose left.

A month passed. Kabu’s sharp look was towards the fence preventing him from entering the Slumbering Weald. Piers seemed tired as he had just woken up and had to fly all the way from Spikemuth to Postwick. Bea was alert too. Velvette was just serious and careful, because after all you never know what you may face in the Slumbering Weald.
“Alright, ready ? I’m entering.” said Kabu and kicked the fence open.
“We need to catch that damned Darkrai. During our stay in the Hospital we had plenty of nightmares. This needs to stop...NOW !” said Bea determined.
“True.” said Velvette and followed. Piers followed as well.
They entered. The thick forest was full of fog. It was kinda creepy. Kabu, Velvette and the rest of the squad, wandered deeper in the forest looking for Darkrai.
“We need to spot black fog. Not ordinary fog.” explained Kabu.
“We know that already.” replied Piers dryly.
The forest was large with plenty of twists and turns.
“Dear Arceus, we been around this fir for the 10th time, Kabu.” ranted Piers.
“Do you want to lead instead ? Be my guest. I’m already tired of this forest….” Kabu looked at his watch. “We’ve been here since 7 in the morning and now it’s 11 o clock.” said Kabu with a sigh.
With Piers for leader they got deeper in the forest, but still no Darkrai. “Damn it ! I give up.” said Piers vexed, through grit teeth. It has been three hours wandering around with no purpose.
“Velvette ? Bea ? Any ideas ?” asked Kabu pinching his nose.
“We need a tracker. Get your Ninetails to sniff Darkrai out.” Velvette suggested.
“That’s a stupid idea. Darkrai is a ghost. It can’t be sniffed !” argued Bea.
“It may look like a ghost, but it’s not. It’s a dark type. My type.” Piers gave them a small, tired smile. “Ok, Kabu, get your Ninetails out !” he finally said.
“Come on out, Kitsune !” said Kabu and soon his Ninetails came out of her ultraball and looked at him curiously. “If you smell another, odd, ghastly pokemon, go straight ahead, ok ?” he asked and petted her.
Soon Kitsune, Kabu’s Ninetails, took them towards a thicket. There was Darkrai practicing Shadow Ball.
“Excellent job, Kitsune.” said Kabu and then without taking his eyes from Darkrai, he asked. “Ready everyone ?”
“Sure boss.” replied Piers with a mocking smirk. Kabu looked back in curiosity, but then turned his eyes to Darkrai again.
“This time no more messing around, we are gonna catch it !” said Bea tightening her hand around one of her ultra balls.
Kabu got Kitsune back to her pokeball and got Skorcher out of his ultraball, Bea got her Machamp, Piers his Obstagoon and Velvette her Azumarill, which was her strongest pokemon, it was named Aquabunny.
They all attacked at the same time. Darkrai only managed to throw a Shadow Ball at Machamp, but it wasn’t all that effective.
Darkrai was obviously very weakened. Kabu tightened his glove with his teeth, smirked and threw the ultra ball towards it. Velvette grinned with pride and love for her husband, who she loved so much. Inwardly she always thought but never told him, that he looked so sexy when he was determined and was tightening his glove with his teeth. She really had no idea why, but it did.
The ultra ball closed around Darkrai. Kabu was extremely calm and seemed 100% sure that it would get caught. The ultra ball turned 3 times and then.
* CLICK *
Darkrai had gotten caught.
They; Piers and Bea, looked at him with dropped jaws. Velvette looked at him tenderly. Kabu smiled.
“How ?” asked Piers.
“It’s the technique. You need to know how to use your fingers. I know.” said Kabu and winked. Then he turned away to go grab the Ultra Ball. After he caught the Ultra Ball with Darkrai, he called back Skorcher and then they flew off after calling a Flying Taxi through the Rotom Phone.
~x~
They all arrived at Wyndon. Chairman Rose turned his revolving, black chair around to look at them.
“I see my best trainers finally made it. Congratulations.” Rose inspected the ultra ball it was caught it. “How did you manage to catch it in an ultra ball ?” he asked curiously and rubbed his unshaven chin.
“I have my way.” said Kabu.
“It was a result of team work. Without all our pokemon we would make a hole in the water.” said Bea cheerfully.
“Baby you’re so great, I love you so much, Kabu.” with that Velvette and Kabu exchanged a deep, wet kiss and Bea with Piers clapped joyfully. Chairman Rose put his hands in his suit’s pockets and looked at all what was going on with a happy smirk.
THE END.
