BREAKCUT!
Higure Yamitaro | Numberman vs. Terry Jomon | Sparkman
Shoguin sword was shattered in half as she flew all the way back and was slammed on the wall from the powerful focused punch, ending up as a critical hit like the aforementioned attack. The Pokémon emitted static electricity from their body, getting up and flying away before their condition could get any worse than it was now.
“Oops. Looks like we haxed those Pokémon also. ”
===========================================================
“Okay, now that those two are out of the way, we can get going again.” Garrett stated, walking inside. “Good job, there Tiana. We can stop this guy’s plan now.”
“Don’t go and act like you did anything, because my two friends were the ones doing so if you know that already. Thanks Nisower and Pwoof, you were the ones that did everything. Besides, I could’ve easily stabbed them with this spear in my hand.”
* * *
Heading inside was the same thing as last time, except the entire stairway was covered in a blanket of darkness as they continued walking inside. Garrett, Valentine Rowan, and Aaron were leading the way, being the ones in the front, with Judai, Mana, Tiana, Dekao, and Shuuko as the ones behind. Higure and Shuuko were walking with each other; Higure was hugging Shuuko, scared of the darkness of the location, although both of them feared it at the same time. Opening a door, they made it into a room.
“Don’t you think there’s way too many people I’m hanging out with?” asked Judai. “I mean, there’s ten people including me in the small room, and that’s not a good thing.”
“The more people there are, the higher the chances of us remaining safe,” stated Aaron, looking around the room. “Or was it the other way around? I forgot which one.”
“And the more merrier!” added Mana. “I feel safe like this.”
“I rather you all die,” furthered Tiana. “Well at least some of you.”
“If we stick together in this dark room and not wander off, I can assure you we’ll remain safe,” stated Garrett. “Unless one of you is scared of the darkness in this room.”
Valentine made a spark of fire appear in her fingers. “I’ve been here before with Judai, Mana, and Tiana. If we don’t stick together, we could die from random shocks.”
Higure was shivering, still attaching himself to Shuuko. “I’m scared of the dark…”
Suddenly, with a flash and out of nowhere, the room lit up in a jiffy to contradict the previous darkness and burn the eyes of everyone in the room. However, this flash was not caused by lights turning on, but rather because two thunder needles of four certain beings clashed onto each other to conduct electricity, flashing a spark ball onto the entire room and lighting it up. The four beings were Sparkman, standing together in unison, as they were statues, their needles continuing to hold on to keep the room illuminated.
“What the hell’s happening?” screamed Dekao. “Why is it so bright?”
Tiana used a knife to shield her face from the light, holding it directly above her eyes and closing them at the same time. “Because you’re so stupid, it’s a trap!”
Higure jumped onto Shuuko’s arms this time, mostly because whenever they moved, the needle’s sparking caused more electricity to spill over, shaking and radiating. One of the statues were on each side of the room, and immobile mechanical Pokémon were seen on the edges of the space, glowing, but not attacking; they represented Mecha Pokémon, with one of them being a pack of three Raikou and another being Elekible. Shocking waves also emitted from them, hitting some of the members of the group in the room.
“AHHHHH!” screamed Judai, Mana, and Dekao. “What the hell!”
“Somebody help me--I’m dying!” screeched Higure, although the electrical rays didn’t even hit himself and Shuuko. “My rare chips are getting destroyed from this!”
“You care about your chips more than you care about yourself?” asked Tiana, not affected by the electrical sparks, but still bracing for herself like the others.
“Huh? I care for them much more than I care about myself.”
“Wow, you really are a loser.”
“Well guess what?” went a sudden familiar voice. “All of you are losers for even coming here in the first place, and I’m about to show you what I mean by shocking!”
Garrett stared around the room. “Is that you, Terry Jomon?”
He arrived in the room with a casual pose, leaning onto the walls. “The one and only, and let me give you a lesson on why my nickname is Terry Spark, shocking isn’t it?”
Judai held his fists. “You’re the one who tried to kill my dad!”
”Yet you still trust him with your PET,” added Garrett. “Nice one there.”
“I thought it was mandatory--remember what the email said?”
“It doesn’t matter what the email said, because I got my Navi Sparkman to write the entire thing anyways since I was too lazy. For now, if you want all of your folders to be unlocked, then you have to beat me in a battle, not a Pokémon Battle though.”
“But you gave us a crap folder!” Judai was comically yelling. “Cheater!”
“Judai, he’s the bad guy, it’s what he does,” pointed out Dekao. “I thought you’d know that of all people considering all the crap you talk about heroes and junk.”
“Fine, whatever, I’ll battle you. I still want to get my revenge after what you did to my dad a little while back, and It’s going down the way I want it to be, so too bad!”
“I have no idea what you just said, but whatever.”
Jomon whispered to a set of headphones. “Let them down!”
* * *
High above of the Earth’s atmosphere was the usual sight of the planet in the peace it was. However, a silver and evil looking satellite had the mark of the Nebula on it, showing in an eerie matter, glowing with purple as it hovered. It was made of four wings propelling around the space there, slowly reflecting light off from where it came. Inside was a strange man completely wrapped in shadows, and the only detail shown on him was the hair dangling down his face, although the actual mug was covered in shadow. He was a well-fit man, and the uncovered parts of his pants were shown to be dark-red, almost unable to be seen. The creepy bad guy song of the Nebula was playing in the background as it passed, and four compartments of the ship began to open up, showing respective missiles ready to be unleashed into a certain direction.
“You better not be wasting my dimensional area generators, Terry Jomon.” the man pressed a button to the right of him, and it flashed red, along with the entire satellite.
The part of the satellite, which began opening up, had a mechanical female voice emitting from it, counting down. “Launching Dimensional Area Generators in…
Five…Four…Three…Two…One…”
Back in the Earth’s atmosphere, four beam like devices were heading towards the place where the three were, more specifically the entire mansion and the environment around there, but the three inside didn’t know anything about what was happening. The capsules were blue and white with a futuristic feel on them, because the data lines were coursing through the generators like energy moving around, and it was even as if living data was inside, being used like a battery. They emitted a strange sound from them similar to the satellite as they quickly homed in, causing the sonic wave of wind to rush through the machines like they were about to break even though they were protected. The capsule’s defense opened up a hundred meters above the electrical towers, and they were about to break the ground with a thrust, as each one of the generators…
First generator!
Second generator!
Third generator!
Fourth generator!
After all four of them activated with a glow, a Dimensional Area Generator formed around the entire mansion. Billy, Mettaur, and Spikey viruses materialized inside the already stuffed up room. The latest virus, Billy, was a yellow devilish creature carrying two needles much like Sparkman’s, clinging them together and able to generate electrical thunder balls traveling through the field. Their head was had an electrical Mohawk, and short legs supported their huge head as they caused waves to crash in the area.
“I still have that thing you gave me Garrett. Time to get our game on! Synchro Chip, slot in! Crossfusion!” after slotting in the chip, Judai went through a transformation. It began with his legs, as the black metal armor materialized onto the legs, folding his regular clothes together. His blazer folded as well; red and green armor materialized there, with an emblem of the four elements in the middle. His left hand was now gloved, and the silver hands were tough as steel. The right hand had the same effect as the opposite, except the head of a red dragon was added after that for a weapon. Behind him, technological wings appeared, and openly appeared, allowing a body pack to materialize as well. His face now had a helmet for the top part on, and it unleashed a blue visor down his eyes, allowing it to be transparent; followed by the rest of his face, protected by a red and black mouthguard at the end. A pose struck with flames and passion, showing the newfound armor in power, and a pattern of Synchro light struck out in green shine.
“Looks like you have a trick up your sleeve. Shocking, isn’t it?” Terry Jomon pushed his hands onto the ground, and materialized Sparkman into the real world with a surge.

===========================================================
Tiana ran over to Judai with worry on her face. “Are you okay, Judai? That was such an
“Okay seriously, you’re not helping with the situation.”
“Looks like your friend got a little shocked from the situation.”
“Nobody defeats Judai or any members of his family except for me!” yelled Tiana, getting angry by the second as she grabbed out a PokéBall. “What the hell?!”
“What are you talking about?” asked Mana. “If I got a dime for every time Judai lost, I’d be rich already. Terry beat him once before from what Garrett told me, and he just lost here again. Back in Orre before we headed over to this region, Eldes beat him up, and I don’t want to talk about how many times a five year old like me defeated him before.”
Judai screamed, “Okay now you two are the ones who aren’t helping!”
“Back when the mall still existed, Gorigan beat Judai’s dad, Michael and let our plan work before the boss made us let him go because he wouldn’t answer,” added Terry, having a laugh from the counting. “Looks like you’re one big loser, Judai!”
“Wait, your entire family is a loser!” exclaimed Tiana. “Remember when I beat you a little while ago Mana? I also heard you tied with Cipher Diva Lovrina, and for all we know tying with her is as bad as a loss. Looks like you better get better soon!”
“Tell us what your plan really is and maybe we’ll let you off,” ordered Garrett. “Okay not really, but you better confess, because there’s ten people in this room right now.”
“What has this become? Power Rangers? This group must be really weak to be ganging up an army on one on me like that. Back off before I die from the draft in this room.”
“Actually, most of them can’t do anything in the first place,” added Aaron. “With the exception of me, Valentine Rowan, and Garrett Stuart if you get where I’m going at.”
Judai, Mana, Dekao, Tiana, Shuuko, Higure, “………………”
“I’ll tell you what the Nebula’s plan is,” announced Terry, grabbing out a microphone for dramatic comical relief. “We plan to use all of your Battlechips and convert them into dimensional area generators for our own use…and win the tournament of course.”
“If you want to use our Battlechips to supply energy to those dimensional area generators, then why didn’t you steal our chips instead of lock our folders?” questioned Aaron. “A really big mistake hole you made in the middle of your plan.”
“I guess I never really thought of that situation.
“Fine then, I’ll battle you in the honor of my super-special-awesome chips,” announced Higure. “If I win, then you release the locks on all of our folders, okay? Huh? But you have to promise you keep the rules this way and not break any promise.”
“Better idea--why don’t I just call the tournament officials and have this idiot get disqualified already?” suggested Aaron, grabbing out a cellphone and clicking random buttons on it. “Once he’s out of this thing, we can get going onto the next round and everyone will become happy again. This Terry Jomon guy is holding the match up.”
“Huh? What was that? I’ll battle him for my pride.”

“I didn’t calculate this…you must have changed the number input…”
===========================================================
The dimensional area disappeared.
“This means your folder won’t be changing anytime soon, now will it?”
“Good news everyone!” announced Valentine Rowan. “While Higure Yamitaro was busy stalling for more time, Garrett and Aaron hacked into the system and broke the lock.”
“You’re kidding me, right? I turn my back for one second, and this happens?”
“Yep. Too bad you were so focused on the battle you forgot about us.”
“Let’s head on out of here Sparkman, and show them true terror at the match.”
“BUZZ…let’s head there and give them a shock!”
Judai walked over to Higure Yamitaro with a smile on his face. “Are you ready for your match against Terry ‘Spark’ Jomon? Good luck during your battle, okay?”
Shuuko gave Higure a gentle hug. “You’ve shown me there’s someone else in the world with worse luck than I have, and I must say it feels really good to know.”
Higure sweatdropped. “Huh? Where are you going with this?”
Shuuko giggled. “Bad luck!”
“Wait, that’s not what you’re supposed to tell me!”
“Since I’m made of completely bad luck, telling you bad luck means good luck, and saying good luck means bad luck, so bad luck to you Higure on the match!”
“Huh? Whatever you say…”
* * *
After arriving at the Den Dome in their seats, Judai, Mana, Tiana, Valentine, Garrett, and Aaron were in the stadium spectator seats. Dekao and Shuuko were at the bottom of the battler’s stage, waiting for Higure and waiting for him while he approached the stage.
“This will be the second match of the quarterfinals, deciding who the second person will be advancing to the semifinals to battle Judai for a shot at the town’s trophy. Let’s make the second match a good one as I introduce the town’s Battlechip expert…Higure! He hails from Akihara, and don’t underestimate his super-special-awesome battlechips!”
Higure approached the stage with his arms limping down, and the entire crowd cheered massively as he got onto the center. “Huh? What’s with all of this commotion?”
“Bad luck Higure! Beat that cheater and show him whose boss!”
Dekao also shouted approval words, “Show them who the real Netbattler is!”
“The second person in this match will be Terry ‘Spark’ Jomon, the one who cheated all of you about your battlechips and should be disqualified, but we’re too lazy to do so and just want the next match to continue on. He is a robotics mechanic and hails from Elec Town, with an electrifying personality and is Nebula Mechanic Terry ‘Spark’ Jomon!”
Terry Jomon approached the stage with his hands in his pocket, casually making his way to the stage while ignoring the crowd. “I’ll beat your folder down either way, geek.”
“BOO!!!” the crowded yelled loudly.
“What’s with all of this booing?” wondered Jillian. “Oh yeah, I forgot that Terry tried to cheat his way through the tournament by giving everyone a crappy folder and we were too lazy to call the officials and arrest him for doing so. Nice job there Jillian.”
Garrett, Valentine, and Aaron sweatdropped when they heard those words.
Garrett, sweatdropping, “Actually, we are the officials.”
Valentine, moping, “I guess we should start doing our jobs, right?”
Aaron was the only one with a confident look. “Truly, wouldn’t that be boring? We didn’t arrest him because we already unlocked the locked folders, remember?”
“Yeah, but what if he does it again?” inquired Tiana. “We can’t trust him.”
“Okay seriously,” started Aaron, “we’ll arrest him after the battle. I just want some popcorn and to enjoy a nice battle without anymore disaster in this tournament.”
“BUZZ…I’m ready Terry Jomon…BUZZ…”
“Calculating enemy statistics: Sparkman - 700 HP, Electric, Darkloid.”
Jillian got ready to announce. “I have a new catch phrase now, and it’s not the same one my sister from Kanto, Lillian uses! READY, STEADY, READY, STEADY… ”
The crowd continued for her, yelling with the same word, “GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Judai jumped onto the stage athletically. “Looks like I’ll be facing you in the semifinals.”
Shuuko ran over to Higure, giving him a hug. “I told you saying bad luck would make your last dice rolls some good ones, even though a six was kind of overkill.”
“Thanks, huh. I guess I do have good luck. I’m looking forward for tomorrow!”

Today’s super evil Pokémon who attacked the EMO Tiana today is…Shoguin!
Name: Shoguin | Owner: Terry Spark
Classification: Electric Penguin
Type: Ice/Electric
Description:
Height: 2'11''
Weight: 70.6 lbs
Gender Ratio: 50% Male, 50% Female
Color: Regular - Yellow | Shiny - Blue
PokéDex Data: Shoguin, the Electric Penguin; Type is Ice/Electric; They shock themselves for training, somehow summoning electric hail onto the field to strike everything on it. Because the North Pole and the South Pole doesn't have as much electricity as other areas in the world, explorers usually have a Shoguin with them as a partner to supply the conduction whenever they need it. In addition to that, if the static they emit gets rough enough, it can even generate warmth around the area by mixing the sparks with the natural wool it has to keep warm. This is ironic considering it hates the heat, but can somehow survive it due to the freezing electricity sparking out of the ground to generate heat energy. This is a great ice-type partner to have venturing into places with electricity or cold, considering they can shield partners from both of those elements.
Special Ability 1: Fire Shock Generator - If the last move this Pokémon used was an Electric-type move, and the one it's using this round is a Fire-type move, the damaged is tripled, then reset for the next round.
Special Ability 2: Heat Wool - Fire-type moves don't work on this Pokémon.

Next time, on Pokémon XD: The Shadow Nebula…[Episode 24: Battle of the Old Guys!]
“The next match will be Kenichi Hino Match and Fireman vs. Tensuke Takuni and Topman! It looks like both of these people are very old and very stinky!”
“Who are you calling old and stinky, lad?” exclaimed Mr. Match. “You ain’t so young yourself so hush it before I really turn on the heat and burn you over there!”
“For your information, as one of the higher standard members of Nebula, I’m proud to be old and wise,” smirked Tensuke. “Battle Topman and you’ll get toppled.”
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Match and Tensuke were in the middle of the town with their Pokémon released, sending destruction all over the city. Mr. Match had Charizard, Typhlosion, Blaziken, Goukazaru outside shooting the streets with fire - Charizard was flying overhead spitting flames all over the cars he saw; Typhlosion dug into the ground and shot fire down there, destroying many of the wires in the city; Blaziken was on top of the building and leaped down with a leg of fire, breaking down the street; Goukazaru materialized flames using kinesis by meditating and made them burn on the citizens. Tensuke’s Shadow Claydol and Shadow Cradily were shooting out random shadow attacks throughout the city; Claydol focused its hands into a shadow beam and shot it directly at a car, moving its hands slowly to demolish it; Cradily spat out shadow acid onto the streets to melt them.
“Is it just me, or is Elec Town getting attacked a lot?” pondered Aaron with a hot dog. “I can just go on a limb and say this town’s getting attacked way too much.”
