"Be careful, there are a lot of him! Umbreon's Mean Look will keep him on this street!" I yelled, and everyone went for it. Erza, Natsu, and Gray all powered up, and Lucy stayed with me to order Virgo what to do.

"Virgo, help them out!" she said to her pink-haired friend.

"Yes, Princess." Virgo then spun around on her feet, disappearing under the ground.

"Um..." I turned to Lucy, and got her attention. "Can you explain what kind of mage you are?"

"Oh, I've never told you, have I?" I shook my head. "I'm a celestial wizard. I can call celestial spirits to come and help me whenever I need them. I do that with special keys I keep in this pouch." She pointed to her waist, and next to the whip she carried was a small bag that hung off of her belt.

"That's kind of like what I do!" I said.

"Right, except I actually have my own magic power to call them from the Celestial World. You only keep your Pokémon on you in little balls. The golden keys are zodiac keys; the most rare. Only one in existence for each of them."

"How many can you call at once?"

"Well, I've called all of my spirits at once before, but that was only for a brief few seconds. Usually I can only have two at a time summoned."

"Awesome!" Then I heard a copy get thrown into the cement wall. "But we should focus now."

"Right. Virgo, get rid of as many as you can!"

"Of course." She dug holes all round the street and five of the men disappeared screaming into them.

"Umbreon, Faint Attack!" I pointed to the arena, and he charged. A dark purple and black wave of energy spread out around him, and he tackled one that I thought was the real one, but it just fell over and disappeared as Umbreon landed on his black feet. "Damn it!" I had to find him. For all we know, he could have done his invisibility again and ran off to to the bank. "Umbreon, listen closely and track him. Don't let him get away!" Umbreon closed his eyes, sensing where his prey was.

"ICE MAKE...PRISON!!" Gray released a cold giant cage of ice, and trapped every one of the phantoms into it. He landed on top of it, giving a satisfied grin. But what I realized was that he trapped Natsu, Erza, and Umbreon too. The fights stopped in all of the confusion.

"What the hell, Gray!" Natsu objected.

"Let us out this instant!" Erza pointed her sword up above her at him.

"If I did that, then he would escape! We don't know who's the real one!"

"No, Gray you're on to something! Umbreon's sensing where he's at right now. When he does, we got him. Keep going, Umbreon." He did what I said, and his yellow rings on his body glowed brighter. He stood there for a couple seconds as Erza and Natsu fought, then I felt his eyes open in a sudden realization. "Get him!"

Umbreon used Quick Attack, and tackled one of the men to the ground. All of the other ones disappeared from the sudden power loss, and I walked up to the ice cage. "Okay, Gray. You can release him now."

He nodded, and the ice was gone in a flash as Gray landed on the ground next to us. I was staring at Umbreon, and walked up to the body Umbreon was glaring down at. His yellow rings were not glowing anymore because he found his prey, but I gave him an order to keep the phantom from ever escaping again. "Scary Face," I said.

Umbreon glowed again, and growled at the man. Immediately he whimpered in fear for his life. "Please...don't hurt me! I don't want to die!"

"We got him," I clarified with a smile. "He's not going anywhere with Umbreon on him."
