It was clear from the start that whatever I was given as my quest was stupid. I mean, really? I have to travel to ALL NINE of the kingdoms AND win a battle in their colosseum? This was borderline ridiculous, I haven’t ever gone to the kingdoms post the “No-Fairies” barrier. Many other people were given this quest, but I feel like I have a great advantage here. My current home has the “Phenac colosseum”, contrary to every other kingdom which was split into generations. The Phenac was wild, split into 4 corners. One with deities like Arceus and Palkia fighting off, and then right across that was literal baby Pokemon fighting. BABIES! You are telling me that people also decided these babies were weak?? What do the strong ones look like?? The other corners weren’t any better, one with the elusive doubles format, and then the last of the 4 corners had level 50 Pokemon with item clause? Anyway, I won my battle there, so I set off to the Scarlet Kingdom. It would be hard to win, I am very broke, but at each kingdom I could buy rental Pokemon to use to fight in the colosseum, so I had to split up the money smartly.
The Scarlet kingdom was fairly simple, everything was relatively cheap. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to say “no” so I went ahead and bought fifteen Pokemon. I won thankfully, turns out Latios is a war criminal down here, and I went to the Sword kingdom. He also asked me if it was possible to tell his sister that he accidentally lost her Poke dollars, which was weird because I didn’t think planes could use money but I guess I know nothing. However, it seems down there pure chaos was happening, because actual war criminals broke free of the jail. One of them was Aegislash, who was hurt in the alley. I hadn’t finished my lunch, so I gave him my leftovers. He was thankful so he went to the colosseum with me, and when I needed a Substitute, he went in and used his Toxic mood to bully everyone there. Onto the Sun kingdom, I was immediately asked “Queen Latias or King Scizor.” Apparently, in the past, too many people would flock to them, causing them to be overwhelmed so now visitors could only choose one. I chose Latias because I had something to tell her, and she wasn’t pleased, but she thanked me for telling her and offered to help me in the colosseum, where King Scizor was present. I thought we would lose, but when Latias checked her bank account, she was in a bit of debt, and that caused her to be angry and it manifested into a Hidden Power Fire and knocked out Scizor. I ran out of there because I didn’t want to deal with anything, straight to the Omega Ruby kingdom. They were selling Mega Pokemon in a dealership, so I took Mega Aerodactyl because it looked cool, and it turns out so did my opponent, and we just threw Stone Edges at each other, which I won because luck is a skill and I am very skilled.
Before I went to the Black kingdom, I first had to give up my ability to use Fairy-type Pokemon, which was no problem to me. I thought this wasn’t so bad, until I realized the colosseum was in the middle of a big castle. I was very shocked, but then I heard giggling from a distance and saw the Pokemon Mew laughing at my misfortune, and it offered to help me for some money, which I agreed to. It needed the money because her friend accidentally gambled her money away, and she needed to get it back somehow. Turns out, this castle belonged to a villain, and his castle was overtaken by other villains. It was a very confusing dynamic, and instead of figuring out who I should help, I just beat up the first guy I saw and I went to the Diamond kingdom. Apparently here you had to use a type of card called Yu-Ge-Oh to pull what mons you would get. I wasn’t complaining, it was free. When I pulled my card, I felt a lingering presence above me which was Palkia, who I was very happy to see because I used that guy quite a bit in the Phenac, and when my opponent saw, they passed out on the spot due to shock, and I was given the win. When I went to the Ruby kingdom, I was trying to figure out where the colosseum was, when the mythical Pokemon Celebi came to me, said ‘Hi!”, and teleported me to a different timeline, one where many Pokemon were locked up in cages. “The higher ups locked up so many Pokemon in here, please I need your help to release them,” said Celebi. I was given Typhlosion, Weezing, and Miltank, not that I had a preference. “Before I teleport you to the colosseum, I need some money because I accidentally gambled my friend’s money away,” Celebi said sheepishly. I gave her the money because at this point I just wanted to be done, and I went to the colosseum where my Miltank literally could not die because it kept Milk Drinking, and onto the Gold kingdom I went. I had decided that since I had quite some money left, I could spend it a little selfishly. I was actually given a free Nidoqueen as part of a promotion. When navigating the battlefield, it was covered in a shadow, so I used Lanturn to help guide us, where I met a friend to help us. It was just the two of us in the colosseum, so we got very confused. Suddenly, the shadow became more apparent, and a distorted version of Lugia arrived on the field. My body started moving without me wanting to, and I had to fight my new friend, in which I eventually won. When the shadow disappeared, I was going to help my friend up, but I realized I lived in the United States where there was no health insurance, so I sprinted to the final colosseum, the Red Colosseum. When I arrived, I was given the option to go down three paths. I wasn’t so sure what to choose, but then a Jolteon snatched my wallet and ran down, towards the left. “Hey wait!” I exclaimed, and I followed it until it got tired. When I opened my wallet, it was empty because I hadn’t realized everything spilled out. I was going to backtrack to get my money back, but then a gate closed behind me, and then I realized I had accidentally gone into the colosseum. Thankfully, there was a very awesome dude called Goldmason, who saw what had happened, and offered to compensate me by giving me Pokemon, which I agreed to because I had only this colosseum. This colosseum was a best of three, and after some very close matches, the Jolteon that had snatched my wallet got a nasty critical hit, which secured the game.
