Flame had ran back in the chamber skidding a little as he stopped at the door and went in from there. With four nurses behind him also gracefully and gently treading along behind him. The nurses wore the traditional medical clothing while working which they wore: a nurses' cap that had a red plus sign on it while their gown had a red trim along the edges. Two out of the four nurses were carrying a fold-out stretcher which they unfolded out once they arrived on the two Gardevoirs; and of course after the Elders and Protectors gave them room to work. The unconscious Gardevoirs were gently placed on the stretchers and secured in with a couple of straps placed around their arms and legs to make sure they wouldn't fall off for any reason. Each pair of them glanced at each other and gave a understanding nod and lifted each Gardevoirs wistfully off the ground and aligned themselves for the proper transport procedure. One Gardevoir was in the front carrying the handles with their back facing the patient, while the other one carried on the other side using those handles. They made a hasty walk out of the room and made a left turn. The Elders and Protectors had an uneasiness feeling that filled the room, hoping that they would be fine. The Poke'mon began to talk amongst themselves quietly trying to keep each others spirit high.

Nick and his two Protectors: Jake and Jasmine, said their goodbyes first and requested that they be told of any update or information once they awoke. Soon after that, one by one, each group left within the hour. They all made the same request as Nick to be notified of any updates and if needed any more help don't hesitate to ask. The only ones to remain there were: Flame, Serene, Atlas, Angel, Aero, Blizz, Zeke, and Kayla. Elegon had left shortly after the Nurses carried the two Gardevoirs off to maintain a watchful eye on them.

"This has been an eventful night to say the least." Atlas said laughing a little.

"Agreed," Kayla said as she smiled happily. "I just hope they are going to be okay." Blizz said with a little grief in her voice.

"I'm sure they will make it!" Flame said with an extremely positive attitude.

"Of course they should! They just need time to be on their side." Aero said with agreement for Flame.

Kage had knocked on the thick wooden door before entering in the archway to get the attention of everyone else. Kage gave a bow of great respect as he began to walk in. Everyone gave a nod and smiling waiting to hear what he had to say. He spoke "I have come to inform you that they are in the Medical Quarters and now are undergoing treatment."

"That's great!" Zeke said being optimistic.

"Have you had a chance to look at any of their vitals or anything related to that manner?" Atlas asked.

"Sad to say right now we haven't come to a more detailed conclusion other than they are stable." Kage said as he shrugged his shoulders a bit.

"Keep up the good work Kage." Flame said as he smiled to him.

"Thank you Protector," Kage replied back with a slight bow. "If you need anything else just call." Kage said as he turned around and slowly left the chamber. With that, Atlas himself called it a night and needed to return home to check up on his city, with his wife in toe. They both said their goodbyes, expecting Zeke and Kayla to follow they declined saying they wanted to be here until more developments occur. Atlas and Angel teleported out of the room in a bright flash and as they left a slight breeze rolled in gently brushing against their attire.

"Flame." Zeke said calmly.

"Yes, Zeke?" Flame asked with uncertainty in his voice.

"May I speak with you? Privately." Zeke requested as he took leave to the balcony. Flame took a look at his mate, she gave a nod, also not being certain what Zeke wanted to speak with him about. Flame followed Zeke and stood next to him, placing his hands along the railing along with Zeke; both staring out on the calm night looking at the moon.

"What did you need to talk about?" Flame asked.

"I was wondering if you noticed something about all of us." Zeke said.

"We are all a little different, but I don't know what you are trying to point out." Flame said glancing over at Zeke slightly.

"Well I was mainly pointing out you and I." Zeke said sternly.

"What about us?" Flame asked still confused about what he was trying to tell Flame.

"We are both Gallades, but I'm not sure if you really took a look at me though." Zeke still spoke in riddles to Flame. Flame looked once again at Zeke and did notice something about him that stroked Flame off. Zeke in reality stood about a foot taller than Flame, which is an extreme amount of height for a Gallade. Standing over six feet tall, Zeke was dressed in his well decorated armor that only added to the appearance of Zeke being a very strong Gallade.

"Well we aren't nearly the same in height!" Flame laughed to himself. Zeke had let out a slight sigh. "I need you to look deeper, more than just appearance, Flame." Zeke spoke as seriously as a leader could among his troops in a pep talk.

Flame's smile shifted to a much more serious attitude while Flame continued to scan Zeke, almost as if he was trying to look into his soul. Moments had passed once Flame had sensed something about him. Once Flame had saw this an aura started to appear around Zeke, almost like he was engulfed in fire: the aura itself was a dark shade of blue and continued to dance and shift around Zeke.

"See it now, Protector?" Zeke said being a little relieved that Flame picked up on it.

"Yeah, but what is that energy that I see?" Flame asked in bewilderment.

"It's what I like to call Life Aura. Let me explain. The Life Aura is a Protector only trait that should have been taught to anyone who became a Protector. What is does is act like an extra barrier for any attacks, but it has more functions that this. It also awakens your inner soul to enhance your self-being even more which is also required to be stronger than the average Gallade or Gardevoir." Zeke said as he was looking at Flame.

"So how did you get such a fierce one?" Flame's attention went back into Zeke's eyes.

"Training, and training young Protector. I want you to be under my wing," Zeke said as he was staring intently on Flame, also giving the appearance of looking into his soul "Why you might ask? I see you have the Life Aura within you as well. The exception is that your is very weak and moves way too sporadically." Through Zeke's eyes he saw that Flame's was a light red that was a joke in compared to Zeke's but he knew that Flame had it before he even became a Protector.

"I'm not so sure about this Zeke. I would have to speak with the Elders and everything would have to be sorted out." Flame said.

"I am most certainly not worried about that," Zeke said smiling "but I will stay here over night and show you tomorrow morning about what I am talking about. Then you can think it over from there. I will also inform your Elders about this, they should understand."

Meanwhile Flame and Zeke had their conversation. Elegon was in the Medical Quarters over watching the new Gardevoirs. They were in a pretty big tube filled with a golden fluid that held them in suspended animation, connected to a machine that was constantly regulating them. Bubbles also forming inside and leaving out the tube showing that they were breathing in the unknown fluid and exhaling it out. The Gardevoirs were floating in a breathable water that almost seems unreal that it is actually possible without having some device to provide for a sufficient amount of oxygen. Nurses and scientists were keeping a close watch as they constantly made notes in various papers and hi-tech devices.

"It should be smooth sailing from here Elegon." Spoke one of the nurses.

"That's all I need to know." Elegon spoke seriously with his arms crossed, anticipating that something will happen soon.

Back to where Flame and Zeke were, Aero had soon joined them as Zeke had called telepathically to him.

"What can I do for you Zeke?" Aero spoke in good hopes.

"I need to ask you something very serious, Aero." Zeke said as he looked diligent while asking.

"Ask away my friend." Aero said with a smile.

"I need to show Flame, Life Aura and what it can be used for." Zeke spoke as Aero's smiled faded slightly.

"Well it should be good for him." Aero spoke with an appreciative nod "just don't be too rough with him." with a slight smirk forming from Aero.

"Thank you Elder. Also may I reside here tonight with my wife in a spare room?" Asked Zeke with a hint of hesitation.

"Of course! I will have a guard show you one of our many extra rooms." Aero said laughing and overall feeling good. For Flame though, he was being skeptical about what they were talking about since he had no idea what training would lie ahead for him with Zeke's teachings.

The night had passed uneventfully as Zeke and Kayla had stayed in a room filled with very fancy light fixtures, smooth carpet, a king-size bed, and dark wood furniture, all while being not too far from where Aero and Blizz reside in. Zeke was up bright and early, looking at a nearby clock which read 5:50AM; Zeke began his normal routine of preparing himself for another day of training. He started heading to the bathroom which was filled with two white marble sinks, a polished window, granite counter tops, a white toilet, and a very big shower. With that Zeke started with a nice, hot shower after removing any kind of garment he had on. The shower itself lasted for only fifteen minutes and then quickly dried himself off with a nearby towel hung in the bathroom. With that, he began putting on his required clothing then reaching for his armor. Starting with the leggings, then slowly working his way up to cover every part of his body except his face, then donning his extravagant cape that hung just above the floor. Also the cape being in a high prized material that anyone would want to wear. The armor itself approximately weighed in a hefty ninety pounds. Zeke always thought to himself about the armor and always loved to have it. Wearing something like that would make anyone stronger in Zeke's eyes, he really was hoping to show Flame what he meant by his thoughts. He began to take his leave to the Protector's home, before leaving he gave his mate a kiss on the forehead while leaving as quietly as possible. The metal clanking on the floor didn't help as he slowly crept along and opened the door with smooth sailing, thus far. Zeke slowly closed the door and right about when it was going to close it made a creaking sound; needless to say he froze and took a glance through the small crack he could see his wife sleeping, but turned on her other side away from the door. Zeke let out a light sigh and closed the door completely, still creeping along till he felt safe enough to walk normally. Zeke had gotten a lot of stares at him walking through the palace as multitude of the Guard passed by him. Zeke smiled warmly at them and waved; the other Gallades on the other hand had a slight awkward look on their face and hesitantly waved their hands back. Zeke could look menacing cause of his massive height and build: being roughly twice as muscular as a normal Gallade; but the smile is all he needed to show he meant no harm.

Shortly after Zeke had taken his leave to greet Flame, Kayla began to stir and slowly awoke as the sunlight had shone through the sliding glass door and window that wasn't covered by the drapes that were conveniently placed next to the glass. She sat up and stretched and noticed that Zeke had left, but much to her surprise there was a note on his pillow where he slept. The note was folded in half and had her name on it with a little heart next to it. Kayla smiled as she opened it and read it in her mind. "Dear Kayla, I hope when you awake that you are not mad that I am not there this morning. I have to attend to Flame early and to get a good start. I do wish you a great morning and you look better everyday since we were married." To Kayla all this showed to her is how she can always love Zeke more and more ever since they day they met.

Over twenty years ago as Kayla began to have a flashback. She was a seamstress back then doing what she loved. She had a magical gift for creativity and everyone had requested for her to make wedding dresses and for any repairs on previously made ones. Over the few years she was working at a shop  she had become a master of her trade and was granted her license to open her own shop and and to have any needed materials in a heartbeat. Kayla also became closer to the royalty themselves soon after she earned her license through hard work and dedication. The royalty had requested a lot of her time and talent into alterations and to make new additions of wedding dresses as time progressed and their family became bigger. On one day after she had finished her third dress and made alterations for five more, she was exhausted to say the least and ready for the rest of her time off. Not even a week before that day she had opened her own seamstress shop and it soared off like a rocket once the residents heard word that she was recommended by the Elders in her craftsmanship and artistic abilities. On the night that exhaustion was getting the better of her she was slowly drifting away into a sleep as she was walking home. Kayla gave the appearance as she was a mindless zombie scavenging for food as she slowly walked not paying any attention, she ran into a familiar Gallade into his left side and suddenly awoke as she was sent falling backwards. The Gallade quickly moved to catch Kayla with quick, lightning precision and with the utmost grace available to a Gallade. Life had stood still as she was looking into the eyes of the Gallade she found most handsome indeed and she was blushing deeply. The Gallade only smiled and slowly lifted her back up to regain the proper posture, Kayla still blushing. She let out a faint laugh while placing her right hand behind her head feeling absolutely embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

"The name is Zeke," said the Gallade with a voice that resonated with compassion and would make anyone feel at ease. "what is your name, miss?"

Kayla stopped her little laugh and let out a breath of air all while still blushing but answered "Kayla, that's my name!"

"Such a lovely name indeed." Zeke said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, but uh. Sorry about running into you like that, I had no idea where I was walking." Kayla spoke softly still feeling the embarrassment arise in her body.

"No worries maiden. I was more worried about catching you than anything." Zeke replied; even he thought that she was beautiful but didn't want to ask if she wanted to go out on a date since he couldn't guarantee himself if she was taken and didn't want to sound absolutely rude.

"Aww, I appreciate that," Kayla said as she went in to embrace Zeke, needless to say he was caught off guard by this and had his hands away from her for a second then slowly placed them on her upper back. "If you want though Zeke. We can meet at a later time, or if you really are into spontaneous meetings I can run into you again!" Kayla laughed a little while digging her head into Zeke's abdomen and chest area. "I would like that a lot, meeting you somewhere and now running into you on purpose of course!" Zeke said with a little awkwardness in his voice.

"Aww," Kayla said with a playful frown while looking up at Zeke, "but I liked you catching me."

"I can catch you a lot more if we danced on a peaceful night like this." Zeke said warmly as his gaze went into Kayla's eyes. They separated their embrace and talked about where to meet on a much longer encounter. Both of them ecstatic that they had met how they did. Months of courting continued for the two Poke'mon, both of them feeling closer and closer as they each met any time they could. But for Zeke he was hiding something from her and didn't want to present it until the time was right. After they first met, a year has passed when Zeke thought it was going to be a good time to reveal something about himself that he only wanted to share with his only true mate. He felt it was time and definitely wanted it to go to perfect plan. Later that evening, Zeke took Kayla to a particularly fancy restaurant filled to the brim with extravagance including: chandelier light fixtures for every table, elegant table placements including the table cloths, forks, knives, spoons happen to have embroidery designed into everything. Only the high class could get in there easily, other would have to set reservations at least two weeks in advance. Kayla and Zeke were sitting at a table being served by the friendliest and best Gardevoirs, Kirlia, and even Gallades in the city. They had been striking up the conversation between each other and had finished their dinner over twenty minutes ago. But before all the peace and tranquility occurred, Zeke had been very nervous about tonight as he was eager to reveal his surprise and still wasn't sure how she would take the news. The truth of the matter was he was intended to be the next Protector and had been able to have leave for his quest to find a suitable mate to join him. He sure felt Kayla was the one for him, it just all depended on the news and how he delivered his message to her. Kayla knew something was amiss as they had only planned to come to the fine restaurant yesterday yet she even knew it could take two weeks for a reservation as a less fancy table but she was treated to one of the best seats in the house only in one day. She didn't let on about her suspicions as she really was just wanting to spend time with Zeke. Zeke being the gentleman that he is, led her out with grace and politeness and led her on a nice and very peaceful walk. The night breeze was quite fulfilling on the senses since during the day was warm due to the time being summer, and a night being the relief time for a much needed cool-down. Zeke was standing a tall, and very confident Gallade as this point, while Kayla had her left arm wrapped around Zeke's right arm; leaning against his arm in a very blissful state. Zeke had really enjoyed the comfort from Kayla, it always made him at ease with himself. During the walk they found themselves in a peaceful park that was well-lit with only a few other Gardevoir couples walking along with their partners by their side. The pavement was extremely smooth and well kept which made it always nice to walk in the park, many of the paths led to other directions where Poke'mon could roam to enjoy the surroundings and scenery. Zeke had intentionally led Kayla to a more remote location under a lamppost with two benches adjacent to each other. He turned around to face her, looking into her gorgeous eyes and her gaze equally returning the look also admiring her potential mate. Zeke embraced her as she did the same to him and they stood there as time around them froze in their minds. They broke their embrace and Zeke continued to look at Kayla wanting to ask her a question that has been on his mind for some time but something was still holding him back. Kayla pulled him closer gently and gave him a loving kiss on the lips and after a few moments she pulled away and smiled to Zeke and gave a nod as well. Zeke took a slight breath of air then exhaled, then began to get on one knee in front of her. Kayla gave a very surprised gasp and look of shock as Zeke had grabbed her left hand delicately and and looked up and began to speak.

"Kayla...This is going to be hard to put in words but I will try to say what I need to say," Zeke took another breath of air and continued speaking "Kayla I love you and you know this, I deeply care for your well being and I need to ask you this question. Will you be willing to spend the rest of your days with me?" Zeke presented a very fine small box and opened it with one hand: inside was a four-karat diamond ring with a twenty-four karat gold band holding the diamond in place. The surrounding light shined upon the diamond making it even more glamorous. Kayla was still stunned as to why he had to get such a nice ring for her but she quickly nodded her head furiously telling Zeke a 'yes' as she gave him a very tight embrace all while tears of joy were falling down her face.

"There is also one more thing I must tell you before we can finish me placing the ring on your finger." Zeke said gently into Kayla's ear. She pulled herself away slightly and waited for him to finish his other statement.

"I am the next Protector in line..." Zeke said with a grim tone.

"What?" Kayla said shocked even more by this news.

"I didn't want to mention it until I knew I found the one I would want to live the rest of my days with, Kayla." Zeke continued with a smile and a single tear rolled down his face. "I want you Kayla, ever since we met I found you beautiful and always enjoyed spending whatever time I could. But now I want us to be bound for the rest of our days, as Protectors. What do you say?" Zeke continued to look into Kayla's shell-shocked eyes.

"I...I would...Love to!" Kayla said with great glee behind her voice as she gave another vicious, but friendly bear hug to Zeke.

"I'm glad," Zeke said nothing that his fears have subsided once she gave the answer he was hoping for.

"Does that mean I have to give everything else up?" Asked Kayla solemnly.

"In a sense, yes. I know you are a highly regarded seamstress, but that is the only trade back for a Protector. Just think of it as you would have to put that right in front of crafting, and clothing." Zeke gave the news he knew she wouldn't like to hear.

"Well...I can work with that. It's not like I have to give it up entirely, right?" Zeke gave an unspoken nod with a bright smile. "Then I am ready to be with you until we pass into another life." Kayla said as she gave her left hand to Zeke once more. Zeke took the fabulous ring out of the box and slid it slowly upon Kayla's ring finger. She was overjoyed and filling with excitement as she continued to inspect the fine craftsmanship of the ring. Kayla and Zeke held each other close once more and gave each other a passionate kiss that seemed as though they have not seen each other in very many years and have finally been reunited.

Not even a week later from the night of the proposal they had a massive reception, banquet, and being showered upon many congratulations and well wishes for the new couple. Both Zeke and Kayla were wearing the finest pair of wedding dresses that Kayla saw to herself to make. She was extremely happy that she had such an honor to make more dresses for the higher royalty once more. She work a bright white wedding dress accented with various sapphires and diamonds neatly and effectively spread across the embroidery of the dress, even equipped with a large bow on the back of it. The bow itself bobbled as she walked also being fixated with various diamonds. The petticoats under her skirt was also a very gentle material and layered on top of one another creating about five or six layers of bliss. Kayla was also wearing a veil that had very small diamonds placed neatly and evenly until the very end of it, her slippers were also barely visible from the dress which could only be seen if she was sitting down. Her jewelry was quite beautiful as she had: earrings, bracelets, anklets, and any other place she could fit jewelry that wouldn't compromise her own beauty. She thoroughly enjoyed wearing it as she also liked to see Zeke in his custom made 'dress'. The Gallade attire was quite different from a normal Gardevoir gown or dress. His had to have also been made to fit since his obvious height would have made it a challenge to fit into anything that was pre-made. Zeke was wearing a white vest over his chest fixed with diamond buttons, the vest covered as low as his waistline all the way up barely past his shoulders. The Gallade suit always gave the option for a Gallade to be able to spread out his elbow blades whenever need be. Along his neck he worn the chain that an ornate cape was hung behind his back that reached a few inches past the waistline. The pants were a much more relatively simple procedure, that was covered in a bright white material similar to Kayla's dress but much less fluff in it. The design overall was less extravagant not having as many diamonds along with smaller ones compared to Kayla. For obvious reasons as it would be awkward if a Gallade could outshine a young Gardevoir. But nonetheless the material was also quite comforting to wear as Zeke occasionally checking the material with his hand. Both of them had one of their happiest days of their life that day as they began their journey as new mates.

Kayla's day dream ended as a quiet knock on the door grabbed her attention.

"Yes?" Kayla spoke gently but loud enough to be heard on the other side.

"Kayla, you are requested to see Aero whenever you are ready for today." Spoke the Gallade as he placed his face near the door as he relayed the message.

"Tell him I will see him in half an hour's time." Kayla said as she got herself out of bed and made it perfectly back the way it was before she stepped into it within a matter of moments.

"I will inform him right away, milady." The Gallade spoke as he took his leave, slight footsteps could be heard but then slowly faded away knowing that she was ready to start her day after she enjoyed her memories.

While all that took place for her Zeke had made his way through town, asking one of the guards to lead him to Flame's home. The Gallade happened to have been Zen and they had been striking up quite the conversation but Zen was scared to the very soul from Zeke as he definitely couldn't quite get used to his stature and could intimidate anyone from just a glance. The townspeople also proved Zen's theory that he wasn't the only one who was afraid of him. Zeke really meant no harm to anyone and was a kind, gentle Gallade who only would want the best for everyone. He started to feel kinda bad cause during their trek he made a Ralts cry just by looking at him and smiling lightly while giving a small wave with his hand. Her mother, a Gardevoir, quickly picked him up and took off with a scowl upon her face. Zeke only could laugh slightly while his face gave off the awkward smile. Zen had laughed to himself while that happened, little did he know it would happen not less than a minute later which really made Zen laugh harder the second time.

"Sheesh, I guess I really come off as evil." Zeke said with disappointment.

"No, no!" Zen spoke while getting the rest of his laughs out. "It's just that we really don't have a very tall, muscular Gallade wearing heavy armor and a cape roaming the town often."

"Well it is the choice of garments for Protectors in my area." Zeke replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Don't let it get to you. I can tell that you are very friendly, but I will be honest. I don't want to get on your bad side." Zen said laughing a little more.

"Ha!" Zeke gave a quick laugh. "I haven't had someone in my bad side in a long time, and I know well why." Zeke spoke confidently.

"Well yeah! You look like a bouncer to me, and if they didn't have any sense they would be on your bad side." Zen said adding onto the point.

Zeke gave a nod to Zen without speaking a word as they both continued their walk. Zeke was hoping that he wouldn't have to make any more children cry from his appearance, that really didn't help him since he was a father of two himself.

"Ah! There it is Zeke." Zen spoke while pointing with his right hand at the Protector's home.

"Thank you Zen. I hope to see you around soon." Zeke spoke as he continued to walk closer to the home.

"Oh I will, I heard what you and Flame are going to do in the training grounds in a bit and I can not miss something so rare! Two Protectors sparring one another! It's just an awesome sight.

"Haha!" Zeke laughed once more booming with his voice. "Then I shall see you shortly my friend."

Zen had waved goodbye as he left to resume his post back at the Palace all the while Zeke had taken a couple of steps up to reach the door. He gave a couple of knocks on the highly ornate door.

After Zeke did that Flame barely woke up from the noise and slowly got out of bed, in a deep groggy state of posture and feeling. He answered the door to see a very tall, and heavily armored Gallade. Flame had rubbed his eyes once more to look again at the Gallade, he finally realized it was Zeke and was startled. Zeke had laughed a little and spoke, "it's time to get ready for today."

"What? But I just looked on the clock and it's only 6:30AM..." Flame said with a hint of complain in his voice as he did various stretches.

"Yes it is. Which makes it perfect to begin our little match young one." Zeke added on to Flame's statement.

"Well let me get changed and I will be ready. Come on in and make yourself at home." Flame stepped aside to let Zeke in. Flame laughed once Zeke took up his offer and knocked his head on the upper frame of the doorway.

"Ouch!" Zeke said as he rubbed his head a little bit.

"There are cups up here if you are thirsty and the fridge is open to you if you are also hungry." Flame said as he pointed to where everything was before he left to his bedroom and began getting ready for the day. Serene was already awake and getting ready while Flame stepped into the bathroom and saw her gown gently placed on the counter along with her undergarments and pants in toe. The shower had been running and could see her getting ready, Flame had to wait his turn to get into the shower as he washed his face and then shortly left the bathroom to give her some privacy. Thirty more minutes passed until Flame was finally ready and was gathering everything he needed for the day; which was mainly his clothing and his highly designed, decorated robe. Serene also had helped Flame get ready for the day as she knew the training with Zeke was going to take a toll on Flame. She gave him a kiss goodbye along with a very loving embrace. Flame felt all too happy since he always enjoyed Serene no matter what she did. Zeke had been waiting patiently for Flame while he had a cup of cold ice water to keep his thirst quenched. Flame had appeared and told Zeke he was ready. Zeke gave a nod and placed the cup in the sink as he started off the doorway, once more time hitting his head on the upper door frame and saying another "Ouch!". Flame laughed a little while he left his home and closed the door behind him staring off in all directions to enjoy the early morning breeze along with Poke'mon beginning their day to work.

"Are you ready Flame? Today will be a long and most likely painful experience." Zeke said with a non-threatening warning.

"Yes I am. I could use a little wake up call!" Flame said laughing. Zeke gave a smirk as they walked side by side to the Palace. Zeke had mentioned what he did to two little poor Ralts earlier and all Flame did was laugh at that story. Zeke himself was laughing at the whole incident now.

"I hope they don't have nightmares for the rest of their lives." Flame said laughing a little.

"I do as well, I don't want to feel the guilt from them not being able to sleep soundly at night." Zeke added on.

The two Gallades arrived at the Palace and the other Gallade guards quickly let them in for they heard the news about what was going to happen. They pulled out a sign from nowhere and the sign read doors are closed until further noticed. They also closed the doors once Flame and Zeke made it through and followed the Protectors. After a couple of hallways, turns left and right, a flight of stairs they arrived at their destination. Flame and Zeke entered the double-doors while the rest of the Gallades took another entrance to an upper-level entryway.

Once Flame and Zeke entered onto the main field not too far off from them. There were other groups of the City Guard warming up and training future guards, doing various exercises and training for both psychic and physical divisions. Once one of them saw the Protectors they stopped and immediately gave their attention to them.

"Looks like we will have quite the spectacle for our little test." Zeke said shrugging his shoulders.

"I guess. I wasn't expecting it to be this watched, isn't this just going to be a training match?" Flame asked being confused.

"You could say that, Flame. We are going to train and spar until you can't do any more." Zeke gave a quick explanation.

"So where do we begin?" Flame asked getting himself mentally prepared.

"We will start with a no holds sparring match, I need to see what you are made of before we can begin the training course itself." Zeke said while he began to take off his cape and threw it off to his right and it gracefully fell to the ground.

"Sounds fine to me. How far apart should we be?" Flame said jumping a little, side to side making sure he can be quick on his feet.

"We will be ten yards apart. Give it everything you got and once you say 'ready' we shall begin. Remember, there will be no rules other than no killing or senseless cheap shots." Zeke laughed to himself knowing Flame wouldn't do such a thing.

"Hah! I would dare not to do such a thing to another Protector, let alone a Poke'mon for that matter!" Flame spoke loudly as he got into position. Zeke took a slow stroll into his position and faced Flame. Flame began with opening his arm blades out and bent his legs into a battle stance position. Zeke followed suit with placing one arm out in front with an open palm and his left arm placed  slightly lower and half the distance. Flame was a little shocked to see he didn't pull out his elbow blades for this fight.

Other on watchers were waiting with great anticipation and excitement building. Soon chatter started to fill the space where they were either: standing sitting on chairs or placing themselves as close to the action as possible. Elegon had even taken his place to watch among the City Guard.

Meanwhile Serene was also requested to the Palace shortly after Flame and Zeke took their leave. She arrived there hastily and met with Aero, Blizz, and Kayla all there waiting for her to arrive.

"Is there a problem, Aero?" Serene asked with worrying tone in her voice.

"Oh heavens no! I wanted you to be here to witness the match between Zeke and Flame, we were all going to go right away as soon as you showed up." Aero replied with a gentle smile.

"Oh, you had me worried for a second." Serene feeling relieved by this and they all left together to watch the match.

"Why haven't you drawn your blades Zeke?" Flame asked not sure if he was toying with him or not.

"I will show you a much broader way of fighting than using our elbows, but do not fret. I will show you them by today if you wish to see so." Zeke replied calmly as his body started to produce an aura. This aura was different that Flame had seen earlier, he didn't have to focus to notice it. Zeke's body had ribbon-like aura appear and vanish in various spots of his body, almost controlling it. Zeke had a smirk across his face as Flame stood wide-eyed while he watched the aura ripples come in and out. Flame shook his head side to side and his focus was regained on Zeke, but the ribbon-like aura still showed itself quite clearly. The other Gallades, Gardevoirs, Kirlia, and even Ralts made their own comments when they saw what Zeke was doing. Nearly all of them not knowing what he was doing.

"I'm ready when you are Flame." Zeke said still holding his positioned stance like a statue.

"Okay. Three, two, one...Ready!" Flame shouted as he dashed at Zeke with great haste. Zeke had not moved an inch as Flame's charge was becoming closer and closer with his arm blades glowing a pinkish color. Flame came into striking distance and took one slice with his left arm blade at Zeke. Before contact Zeke's eyes glowed with a more reddish hue, moved his right hand to catch Flame's fist and used his left hand to stop Flame's right arm from pulling closer all while stepping in closer with lightning speed. Flame didn't see what was coming as Zeke quickly lifted Flame into the air, kicking both Flame's legs from under him and throwing him into the ground. The very ground shook from impact and small amount of dust particles appeared from under Flame. Flame quickly did a three-sixty degree spin kick to give himself room to get back on his feet without being compromised again. Zeke took a quick step back to avoid this move. Zeke once more dashed with lighting quick foot work and went in for a strike with an open palm. Flame stepped to his left avoiding the right palm and went in for his own strike from his right hand. He impacted Zeke, pushing him back an inch while Flame's hand stung with pain, as Zeke took opportunity from that moment his left palm quickly engulfed itself with a pinkish, purple energy and slammed it directly into Flame. Sending him at least twenty yards away from Zeke. After Flame was done skidding across the field he regained his composure and retaliated with a couple of Shadow Balls he threw at Zeke. Zeke braced himself as they dark energy collided with him, but not exploding as most of the Poke'mon were expecting. What happened was the Zeke was pushed back a couple of feet and the balls remained in their form stopped by Zeke's palm, holding them at bay all while still spinning. Zeke pushed both of them together to form a bigger, darker energy, spun his body and resent Flame's gift back at Flame.

"Return to sender!"  Zeke shouted as he threw the energy even faster than Flame did before. All Flame had time to do was put up his psychic barrier. A big explosion appeared where Flame was and Flame was shot out of the smoke at a dangerous speed, he was sliding across the ground on his back. He came to a stop and picked himself back up and gave another charge at Zeke, being more determined than ever now.

The crowd was cheering for both of the Protectors as they enjoyed the show they were being given. Elegon was the only one is his area that remained in his quiet state just watching what was unfolding before his eyes. He was carefully watching Flame as he noticed the Life Aura appearing from him slowly.

Aero, Blizz, Kayla, and Serene had finally arrived after hearing a loud boom from inside the Training Grounds. They opened the double-doors that lead to a private area, access only the the Elders if they so choose so. It was a ground-level seating equally close to those who were already on the grounds themselves the difference being that the Elders and Protectors had a very clean glass between them. Aero explained the glass was there for safety reason just it case something came their way they wouldn't be harmed. The glass had a lining of triple-pane high impact glass also with crystal clear diamond structure to add even more defensive capabilities to the glass. Each Elder and Protector took their seat and began to watch intently on Flame and Zeke. Right as they were watching Flame and Zeke were right in each others face. Both of them threw their punches, kicks and everything was being parried back and fourth. It looked almost as if it was previously choreographed. They each went in for their own attacks and both of them landing against each others faces, both of them came to an abrupt halt for a split moment before they each back stepped away from each other and waited for the next move. At this time Zeke's armor had take quite a few dents in it, while Flame's body became bruised all over but he was lucky that his robe was helping him greatly against Zeke's metal gauntlets. Flame was breathing quite heavy and wincing from an occasional pain, while Zeke remained quite able for battle, only his breathing became off than the start of the match.

"How much longer can this go on for?" Asked Blizz with a little concern for Flame overall.

"He should have made it clear to Flame that it was going until one of them can't continue." Aero answered his mate's question.

"I don't think I want to see this unfold anymore than it has to..." Serene said quietly as she put her hand over her mouth.

"As much as I agree with you, Serene. I have to disagree for a certain reason." Kayla spoke sternly.

"Why?" Serene asked directing her face and attention to Kayla.

"The only reason Zeke is doing this is cause he looked into Flame's mind and discovered a hidden past that not even Flame is aware of." Kayla stopped to take a breath and then continued. "During Flame's early years he did belong to a very caring family and seemed to have a very promising life ahead of him. But he should have told you he can't recall any of it, right?" Kayla directed the question to Serene as she still watched Zeke and Flame gather their strength before going at it again. Serene nodded once without a word. "What happened at this point was the village he used to reside in was pillaged by a savage group of Poke'mon who just wanted destruction for the sake of enjoyment. Many of his species were killed during that day. His parents possibly as well, but that was never confirmed. But before that fate had come true, they placed Flame:he was a Ralts, and his sister; who was a Kirlia already, into a well hidden set of brush and trees surrounding them. Quickly after that they said they goodbyes and ran off to help defend the dieing village and to rescue anyone they could. But that's all I can say about this." Serene just faded off into a deep thought as she really had no idea what he went through. The upside to that was he couldn't remember, but that didn't make her feel better.

"To continue now. After the fire and dust settled they came out of hiding and began to leave behind everything they knew about life. His sister who was named Alexia had been walking non-stop for most of the day and eventually came to a collapse from exhaustion. She had cradled Flame before she impacted the ground hard, he began to cry as Alexia closed her eyes. An hour passed once more before footsteps came and in Flame's eyes saw a young human boy, probably around six or so. The boy was being very cautious around Flame and his sister, Flame had been very defensive in protecting her from anything that came close. He snarled in anger at the boy, but he didn't take the hint since he really wanted to help them. After the intense moments Flame had released a psychic blast to push the boy back. He was hurt but he got back up and went back into the spot before, not wanting to give up. Flame kept up the attacks a couple more times before getting tired and nearly collapsing himself. The boy was now bleeding a little bit but he continued to show understanding by offering his hand in peace to the unsettling child that Flame was. Flame was still reluctant to accept the offer only cause of his sister. He would not leave her side by any means. The boy shedding tears in his eyes from all the pain that Flame had cause him slowly moved closer to the Poke'mon with his hand still offered in good will. Flame still growled at the boy, the only way this ordeal came to an abrupt end was Alexia mustering up the words to say 'let him help you' in their native tongue. Flame turned to Alexia and began to cry and tried to comfort her as much as possible. The boy was finally close enough to touch Flame, which he did very carefully on his back. Trying to console the angry Ralts that he was. Alexia spoke once more 'take his hand and get help..l, I will be waiting here for...you.' this really didn't help Flame at all as he continued to ball out in tears from sadness and frustration." Kayla's story had been touching the hearts of her listeners: Serene and Blizz were shedding a tear here and there while intently listening. Aero himself only shed one tear as he was mainly watching Flame as the story was being told. "Soon after Flame had let the young boy pick him up and cradle him, he himself weeping and then burying his face into the young boy's shirt. The young boy then said 'I am going to get help right away, please hold on!' and he ran off with great haste to find his family that was near by. He got his father and he quickly showed him where he found the crying Ralts. When they arrived there the worst had sure come for Flame and the boy. The Kirlia was gone, without a trace to what happened. Flame continued to cry for a very long time after he lost all his family he had. Years after that he evolved into a Kirlia himself but sadness still got the best of him. He was grateful for the family that took him in, they gave him a home, food, and anything that he could have possibly needed. This continued on for a few more years, this is where blanks and images of random sequence came into the mind read. The family wanted to surprise Flame one day by bringing in another Kirlia into the home. They all knew he was extremely lonely since they didn't have any other Poke'mon in the household, but little did they know this would make him snap...That day had started like any other day, Flame waking up in the morning and hastily working on the household chores and making sure everything was done for the family that day. They had found a Kirlia who the boy now was an early teenager and from what he had remembered the Kirlia almost looked the exact same. The boy opened the door to his home and called for Flame with great anticipation. Flame came quickly and froze once his gaze upon the Kirlia had landed his undivided attention. The Kirlia smiled at Flame and offered a curtsy to him. Flame's eyes were completely wide-eyed and he slowly approached her being extremely cautious. Tears had began to roll down his face as he was a few inches away from her the Kirlia gave Flame a big embrace. Something wasn't right to Flame as they talked slightly amongst each other. The boy wasn't sure about what they were talking about but he was glad they were talking. That soon was short lived as Flame took his leave away from the Kirlia, frustration and anger filling back into his soul. The Kirlia had been quite sad feeding off the emotions he emitted and her peaking into his mind with his permission to see if she remembered the day he thought he lost his sister, Alexia. Which the Kirlia was just a random one and had no relation to Flame. Flame had went back into his own bed and cried into his pillow, being reminded by the fateful day that something had taken away his beloved sister. The boy came to Flame and approached carefully. He said he was sorry for doing that but he thought she was his long, lost sister. Flame appreciated the gesture but he couldn't handle the burden anymore and throw a mighty rage. He tore everything in his path, pushing the boy into the wall of the home knocking him unconscious, the Kirlia into the couch and then tearing off the door of the home and tossing it aside and running away from everything."  Kayla spoke as tears began to form into her eyes.

"What happened next...?" Asked a scared Serene with tears still being produced from her eyes. Kayla sighed as she could feel all the emotions Flame had felt so many years ago, she began to continue the story. "Flame had restless nights from an occurring nightmare about his parents disappearance and his sister Alexia as well. The pain was just unbearable for Flame as he got to experience the tragedy a countless number of times. There is a blank in time after that point that can't be found yet but the next part was that he belonged to a trainer of some kind, which actually resembled the boy who had helped Flame as a Ralts. There was another Gardevoir in the same team as him, but Flame had kept his distance from her. He also had a close friend who happened to have been a Raichu. Together they roamed all across regions battling, winning tournaments, and overall having a good time. His trainer eventually presented a Dawn Stone  that would grant Flame into a Gallade. Flame quickly took up the offer and became a Gallade from then on out. After that he became a lot more confident in himself and was finally able to communicate with the Gardevoir often and the were both quite happy. Flame also had a new friend added to the team who was a Frosslass that had been captured when they ventured into the snowy wastelands of a mountain for a location of a gym. They had earned the badge after winning against four of the Poke'mon from the gym battle without too much damage taken. Another blank in time occurred and Flame had found himself watching over he city of Redwood, by himself and once again extremely lonely, almost if time had repeated itself again. The trials he faced had made him extremely strong physically, but something also happened to where he couldn't remember any psychic-based attack." Kayla had finished telling the story that Zeke had mentioned to her the night before today.

Needless to say it was a sad story for them all, but at that point is really they met Flame and he has changed quite a bit from when he first stepped into the city.

"Is there another reason he wanted to help him?" Blizz asked drying her tears.

"That there is, it reminds Zeke of himself being extremely young and filled with energy. And also not having his parents around for very long." Kayla answered Blizz as another explosion had taken place.

A bigger cloud of dust emerged this time launching Flame and Zeke out of it and both of them recovering rather quickly from the impact. They both collided using their psychic, physical attacks to try to best one another honorably. Zeke's metal armor really suffered a huge dent in the chest cavity from the last move, the armor became uncomfortable to wear as the dents in it were rising in various locations. Flame himself was becoming extremely tired but he felt that he can continue on this challenge. The dust had settled and the two Gallades were both still standing, but slightly limped forward from exhaustion. The crowd was cheering in the upper balconies as they watched with great enthusiasm wanting to see who would merge victorious over the match.

"It's time to really push him to use Life Aura without him knowing it..." Zeke said as he began to focus his energy. The ribbon-like aura started to glow even brighter as his armor's dent were being fixed and any wound that he sustained was being healed with great haste. The crowd gasped as they saw what was happening to him. Flame couldn't believe his eyes as he saw Zeke becoming a new Gallade once more. Even the Elders and Serene were stunned by the turn of events. Kayla just smiled to herself as she saw her mate regain his strength.

"Flame!" Zeke shouted across the field. Flame reluctantly replied with a "What?!" as he shouted back still breathing heavy.

"This is what Life Aura is!" Zeke instantly teleported to Flame being three meters apart in distance. Flame didn't even finish blinking and he saw Zeke there out of nowhere. Zeke stood there with a smirk on his face as Flame had froze into place not understanding what just happened.

"How...?" Asked a bewildered Flame.

"It's the Protector trait, Flame. You can access the power within yourself as being bestowed the title of Protector. You will just need to pushed to your breaking point is all." Zeke said softly as he instantaneous dashed to Flame and gave him a very strong, and brutal uppercut filled with psychic energy. Flame's body reached a maximum height of thirty meters before gravity stopped him. Zeke looked up had both of his hands out to his side, both of them glowing with a pinkish glow to them. "I hope he can dodge this..." Zeke thought to himself as pink balls had gathered around Flame extremely quick. Flame was looking around using his eyes and he noticed that his body couldn't move. They followed him side by side as Flame descended back to Earth. The balls morphed themselves into swords and some of them stabbed Flame throughout various spots in his legs and slowly stopping him twenty feet above the ground. Blood had been produced from his legs as he writhed in pain. Flame was struggling to get out of it, as his blood curling screams gave everyone chills down their spine, some even had to look away. "C'mon Flame! Get out of it!" Zeke shouted to himself inside his head.

"FLAME!" Serene screamed which only could be heard inside the safe bubble which the Elders and Kayla resided in for the fight. Aero, Blizz and Kayla covered their ears as Serene cried his name after seeing what just happened.

"I don't want to have to use more than I must..." Zeke thought to himself even more as he had at least a dozen more swords he could pierce Flame with. He started with two more of the painfully sharp psychic blades that went into his arms. Flame let out another cry of agony. To Zeke's hope he began to see Flame glow with the same aura he was producing, except his being a lighter red. Zeke placed two more in his arms, but Flame did not scream this time. "Oh no..."  Zeke thought the worst happened as he instantaneous removed the blades out of Flame and Flame began his rapid descent. Zeke placed his telekinesis on Flame to grab him, which he did and gently placed him on the ground. Flame was still breathing, but he wondered why he didn't cry for help.

The crowd could only watch in horror not sure of what their Protector's fate was coming to. Zeke still noticed the Life Aura that Flame emitted was still performing the normal fazing in and out that his did.

"Flame..." A voice called out inside his head.

"Who's there?" Flame asked mentally.

"Flame, it's your sister...It's time to wake up..." the voice had replied back.

"Sister...? I have a sister...?!" Flame asked frantically looking to see if he could see her inside his head.

"It is me. All I can tell you for now is that we shall cross paths once again. And that I have a surprise for you when we meet..." Flame's 'sister' spoke softly as Flame felt a jolt of pain rush through his body. Zeke was startled to see Flame wake up and recoil the way he did. Flame's wounds healed only slightly but he was now conscience once more.

"Glad to have you back Flame!" Zeke said while he was on his knee next to Flame.

"Where did I go?" Flame asked with a look of confusion on his face.

"Who knows friend? But did you see a vision of something of great importance?" Zeke asked with his eyebrow raised.

"Actually...I did. Scary enough. How did you know that?" Flame became uncomfortable ask Zeke knew exactly what happened.

"It's Life Aura, Flame. It has many uses as you will find out. But with that sign you are ready to use it now." Zeke said cheerfully as he gave Flame a big pat on the back.

"Ah!" Flame winced at the pain from Zeke's gauntlet.

"Oh sorry..." Zeke said as he quickly moved his hand away and laughed awkwardly.

"So does that mean we have to continue?" Flame asked hesitantly.

"No Protector. You have learned a little bit more about Life Aura and that's what I needed you to learn for today. For now you need to rest and regain your strength." Zeke said gently with a great smile on his face.

"Whew!" Flame said as he laid on his back, extremely exhausted. "So glad you said that..." Flame instantly fell asleep after saying that.

Zeke laughed to himself, and a moment after that Serene, Aero, Blizz, Elegon, Kage, and Kayla surrounded the sleeping Protector. Zeke told them what happened and that he needed to rest for a while. Zeke had picked up Flame and began to walk out of the Training Grounds to place Flame back in the Medical  Quarters. Everyone else followed returning to their day. The fight itself lasted for a good hour and it definitely was a white-knuckle thrill ride for those who watched the entire outcome. Most of them agreed that Zeke won the fight overall but Zeke thought to himself and declared the Flame was the true winner for today.

Within half an hour Flame was placed in a bed while the nurses patched Flame the rest of the way up, it was relatively simple and easy for the nurses. Only time would tell when Flame would awake from much needed rest. Serene had stayed behind to watch over Flame for as long as she had to which would help the nurses respond to any anomalies quicker. The Elders and Protectors: Zeke, and Kayla, went into an adjacent room where they all checked on Paldena, and 'Kakado'. They were still in suspended animation and all vitals were nominal. The scientists have kept a close watch on them for any changes, there were some but all for the good of the two Gardevoirs. They also informed the Elders that they would wake up in a few more days if all went according to plan.

For the rest of the evening, Zeke and Kayla stayed at the Palace for one more night. Elegon was interchanging his attention; going room to room to Flame, and the two Gardevoirs in a coma like state. Aero and Blizz enjoyed another night together as they were dancing under the night sky. Kage, and Zen with the rest of the City Guard were talking about the match-up today and they wanted to see more exhibition matches like that more often. Everything seemed to be at peace for the night, with everyone attending to their own objectives.
