Chapter 2: Team What?

Being chased by your first captured monsuta was something Arthur recommends everyone should try.

But, wait no, he does not!

"Are you guys ok?" Arthur asked his monsutas are they were breathing hard from all the running.

Even Longfang. Who was looking at the young man with a shocked and proud look?

"My lord! This warrior is impressed with your stamina! We must have run for a good hour, and you and your mates are not even breathing hard!" The fighting released a gasp after talking too much.

"Well, my little brother always has good stamina, thanks to us!"

Arthur gives her a deadpanned stare. "Gee, I wonder why?" He asked.

The monsutas stared as they watched their master argue with the girls about why he shouldn't have this crazy stamina.

Soon, a small cabbit creature jumped on Arthur's head.

"What the heck?" Before Arthur could grab the rodent, Leni grabbed it from his head.

"Aww, it's a Koro!" the blonde girl cooed before she hugged it close.

The two-tailed, Cabbit-like creatures looked at Leni and smile making the busty light elf smile wider.

Looking at her brother, she begs him to keep the cute creature.

"Um... Koro's aren't combated type creatures, Leni," Arthur says, trying to make Leni reconsider about the pet. Brining that cute Monsuta will get glomped by so many girls...

No one saw the vein popping on the thunder cabbit's head before it suddenly jumped on Arthur's head and unleashed a powerful shock on him.

"Oh yeah, It's also known as a thunder type. It's usually shy but can sometimes have an electrifying personality." Calypso explained, remembering the information on that species.

The electric cabbit stopped shocking Arthur; the surprise move and the shocking made the young noble fall to the ground and into a paralyzed status.

"N-now you tell me…." Arthur squeaked out.

"Shocking, isn't it?" The Princess of Haiti dryly joked.

"W-Why didn't you warn me?" Arthur weakly asked as he remained in the same position as he was being shocked.

After that shocking event, Leni convinced Arthur to give her a capsule to capture Lighting.

Arthur's harem has many careers, jobs, and desires. Part of the reason he was going on this journey was to capture Mons to help them along the way.

Helping him up, Arthur looked at Mora. The young noble was about to speak, but then he paled a nervous tremble as he saw that look!.

And worse, she is not letting go of his hand.

"Hey Mora," he said with a disarming smile—and trying to ignore the way she shivered when he greeted her, "Can I help you with something." Arthur trying to distract her and hoping to move on with their journey.

"You most certainly can," she replied with a seductive purr that reminded Arthur that he couldn't let play that stupid game again. "I think it's high time you play: I Know You Luv-with us!" The amazon redhead beauty spoke seductively.

"What is 'I know you Luv' game, my lord," Longfang asked.

Leni took over before Arthur tried to hide his past shame and the mistakes of six-year-old Arthur Pendragon.

"Damn that kid! Damn him and his fucking games!" Arthur cursed his past life.

When his 'harem' arrived a year later to thank him. They all kept fighting, some of them being natural enemies, so his dumbass made a game.

I Know You Luv and Arthur had to say in his British accent that he'd spent hours, days! Relearning.

In this game, Arthur and the girls will take turns telling two true things and one false thing about themselves. Then, the other person has to guess which statement is the lie. Or the girls or Arthur will ask each other questions about themselves and see if they remember.

But with a twist. The blonde-haired boy didn't know at the time, but each time Arthur guesses right, he will kiss them.

That dumbass!! He will forever blame his father and his harem for not teaching him right. Arthur swore his kid self was trying to be the world's youngest player, casanova, and chad. Why did his kid self have to make such a stupid game?

So far, Arthur curses his high level of intellectual and cognitive proficiency, Perfect-ish recall about people he cares about, Instant learning, Instant Analysis, Multitasking, and the Superhuman sensory absorption that made him never miss a question.

So yes, it was HIS fault that he gave them their first kiss.

*ding*

A message to his phone told him a message had been received in their friend-harem group chat, but it only took a glance to know the picture was one was clearly hadn't meant for the entire group... Or anyone in his entire group! This was a random woman looking into the mirror, naked as the day she was born and revealing she had "SUCK" and "ME" written on both of her very large, very naked breasts. One hand holding the camera, the other hefting her boobs, a twinkle in her eye very clearly intended for her boyfriend. Then a series of photos in a clip show showing the random woman masturbating.

"Oh, my," Arthur heard Leni gasped. "I should totes write that on my boobs! They are much bigger and firmer than hers... isn't that right, Arty!"

"Why is my luck most strange!! "The boy asked no one in particular.

Arthur's luck is bad and good. After he turned five. The many accidents, destructive events got bigger. His luck results in a cyclone of calamities that follows him wherever he goes. They can be as small as just slipping or as large as entire buildings being destroyed, things catching fire without reason, aliens invading for the sixth time, etc.

Arthur's luck is unpredictable. But it's also a boom like his field trip to the Ice cream factory. Later, it was found that dead animals somehow got into the mixture, and if the kids had eaten that free ice cream sample, many people would have gotten sick or worse.

His luck also influences people dear to him and another effect. A more personal and more awkward one.

Arthur brings good luck to the people he loves and adores. This home 'town' is one such place. But it will only bring him bad luck resulting in a cyclone of calamities that follows him wherever he goes. They can be as small as just slipping or as large as entire buildings being destroyed, things catching fire without reason, civil wars, alien potatoes trying to take over the world, etc.

When I say good luck, I mean GOOD LUCK! To an absolutely ridiculous extreme! After five years. Camelot had been the epicentre of an economic boom that had gone on all across their continent and their Kingdoms vessel. The Del Los Kingdom. The crops grew stronger every year, crime was down, corruption was nearly gone, the economy was up, and their rival Kingdom Bleaky Kingdom gave up their lands to Camelot and joined the Del Los Kingdom. It was insane! It was an economic miracle, and boy wasn't even done yet!

It says a lot when a small town of 50k has a fucking GDP. His slimes alone made them NEVER have to work a day in their lives for the next 30 generations!!!

Not even talking about the other ideas, inventions, and attractions.

As for the second side effect... ever since puberty. Anything sexy that could happen happened. Women's clothes ripped at opportune moments, girls mistakenly believed they were alone just as Arthur passed by, crash kisses with single and unmarried woman, and the number of tumbles that had ended with him in a compromising position beneath, on top of, or wedged between many attractive women had nearly gotten him killed a dozen times by now. At sixteen, it worse His 'godlike' fall can accomplish complex feats, such as reaching his hands or various objects into the clothing and undergarments of girls or partially stripping off their clothing, and grabbing several private parts of several girls all at once, all of which purely by accident.

According to his harem, He has a talent and should put it to good use, saying that he could turn any girl into putty in his hands.

That didn't make him feel better.

"Because Arty!" Mora said with a knowing smirk. "Lady luck loves you! Now tell me, Arty, when did you meet me?"

Not even a second had passed before Arthur answered her question.

"We met when we were three on the first day of school. I saved you from bullies that were throwing rocks at you."

"Correct!" Mora kisses the boy deeply on his lips.

"Come back here!" The couple stops kissing and looks at the blonde bombshell that was running after the Koro.

"What is going on?" Arthur asked, breaking off the kiss with Mora. "Aw!"

"The Koro has escaped Arty! Go get him back!" Leni demanded.

"How do you know it's a guy? Also, do I have to? That guy was a jerk."

Leni glares at her little brother.

"Ok fine! Everyone return to capsules except for Longfang!" The young noble returns his dragons to their capsules.

"My lord, I don't think—"

"It's alright, Longfang. I'm sure that Koro didn't get that far. I'll look this way, and you stay with girls in case this weird feeling lifts!" Arthur spoke up as he picked a random direction and started running before his dire wolf could stop him.

"What feeling?" Longfang asked, puzzled.

The girls jumped when they heard the roar of the motorcycle.

"Who dares challenge the warrior of the Dire Wolf Clan!" Longfang barked and growled at an officer.

"Hello, there, ladies. Have you readied to go inside?" She asked them.

"Yeah… Officer Jenny," Calypso answered her. "We just need to find our boyfriend."

"Well, we better hurry. York New City is under a curfew."

The girls blinked as they looked up to the sky; it was slowly becoming sundown. "Wait, under Curfew? Why?" Longfang asked.

"York New City has been having some trouble recently with missing monsters. But the police have it all under control, and it will be lifted soon." Officer Jenny explained.

However, the girls know better than to trust that. When the Police say, they have it under control. They more than likely only say that to calm down the populace.

"Wow, our husband's luck is really fun, huh, girls!"

It just dawned on them they allowed Arthur Pendragon to go by himself.

A few minutes had passed in an unfamiliar area, Arthur Pendragon was lost. There was nothing more to say than that.

Directions were a major weak point for him. The girls say it's a nice flaw because it proves that he is not perfect.

He has no idea what the heck they are talking about. Arthur knows he is not perfect. In fact, he has many flaws.

"H-Hey *Hiccup!* there sunny! *Burp!*" Arthur's heightened senses looked over at a man who clearly seemed drunk and staggering over to him.

"Y-You look exactly like my wife. You know that, right?" The man slurred as he weakly walked over to the young boy.

Not knowing how to respond to such an open statement, Arthur decides to make sure he has no more beer and takes away the beer he is holding.

"Um, sir, have you seen a cute Koro around here? It's cute and small."

The man burped the smell of beer before pointing in front of him and Arthur. "Ain't that one there?"

Quickly, Arthur turned towards where the old man was pointing but suddenly slouched when he realized it was just a baby Jack Elephant. They are rare insect beasts with both the characteristics of an elephant and a rhinoceros beetle. Its main body is massive and beetle-like, having a large black carapace, two large wings on its back, and two pairs of pincers on the sides of its head. Its head is small and is also covered by its carapace, except for its long elephant-like trunk. They have eight elephant legs that are also devoid of an exoskeleton, exposing their muscular grey skin. Rather than having elephant feet, it has large red clawed feet with three claws on each foot.

They are an Insect/Fighting-type.

"Jack Elephant! The Elephant Beetle Mons! Jack Elephants have sharp claws on their feet. This Mons takes pride in its strength, which allows it to lift things 100 times heavier than itself with no trouble at all." Arthur's Index spoke out loud.

Weird, he doesn't remember pointing it at the mon.

"RAAAA!" The baby insect mon droned on. Sounds just like an elephant back on Earth.

Strangely enough, Arthur heard the dual type and immediately noticed something wrong. The three feet tall bugs had just said, "I obey your command," Like he was brainwashed or something.

"Well, that weird?"

The old man made it weirder when he quickly grabbed Arthur's capsule on his belt waist and pointed back to the not-moving mon. Where the heck is its mother? "Now listen here, sunny; I'm gonna teach you how to use a Capsule and capture that there, Quetbell."

"That's not a legend—"

"Now the key is that you gotta weaken the creature before ya catch it. So don't just throw it and expect to instantly capture the guy on your first go." The drunk man then threw his capsule, and despite how he couldn't even stand up straight and that he clearly threw it in the wrong direction, the capsule bounced off many three before landed directly on the baby Jack Elephant and actually caught the small insect on the first try.

"Yahtzee! Nice work sunny! Now I must go! My people need me!" The man motioned to the Capsule on the ground before the drunk leaned on Arthur completely and seemingly losing all semblance of consciousness.

The kind boy knew he couldn't just leave this old man just anywhere, so he took out his cell and phoned for a sky taxi and cash for a motel.

One member of his harem always got drunk, so Arthur made an app that took drunk people to hotels, motels, and taxis that would drive them there.

He does not know how much money he makes. Momo won't let me his bank statements. That pink-haired vixen always loved to keep his money away from him.

Walking to the capsule, he tosses it up, and once more, the insect droned about obeying the great one.

"Let me try something, buddy" He gave a portion of his ki to the insect type to shield him from this weird energy around them. What he did was like undoing a spell as the eyes of the baby Jack Elephant looked like they came back to life after being cloudy and hazy.

"Bloody hell? Da fuck am I! Where's the Boss?"

Arthur didn't know mons could have accents... So why does a bug have a British accent?

"Yo! My most excellent friend. My name is Arthur." The boy greeted Insect-type.

"Arthur? Where am… am I in a new territory?? or worse, Aussie town!!" The Elephant Beetle looked around the many sap-covered trees that surrounded him.

"What do you mean by that?" Arthur asked. "And What's an Aussie?"

"I-I was in my home with me mates and then poof. Bobs, your uncle, I woke up here, mate!"

The young noble quickly tried to soothe the panicking British arthropod. "Be chill, dude... Now tell me, what's the last thing you remember."

Jack Elephant tried to think really hard, but he was struggling to recall what happened for some reason. "Well, I remember being hungry—yeah, I was hungry since I hadn't eaten today and none of the others wanted to share with me, so I like the boss I went out hunting for some guts & chips, when… I looked towards somewhere and then nothing. So I think I went to where we are not allowed to go."

Arthur picked up on that. "What do you mean?"

He always did like solving mysteries.

"For the past week, Monsutās have been going missing whenever they go near this area next to the town and never returned. I think I was smelling food."

"I always have food on me in case I need to convince a new friend to come with me. "The blonde-haired boy spoke up as he took out biscuits filled with Honey, Nectar Berries, and sunflower seeds.

The insects at the lab always loves these.

"R-Really!? Thanks, mate!" Jack taking a bite of the biscuit before attacking the plate like Shaggy and Scooby-Doo do.

Meanwhile, while his new friend was eating. Arthur trying to find out where this weird energy in the air was coming from. If his Ki senses were working, he would have noticed a blonde girl sneaking upon him.

"I think I might have found the place!"

"You do?!" Leni said.

"AH!" The Noble trainer jumped in fright. Patting his chest over and over like a particular Chinese actor.

"Don't do that, Leni!"

Leni asked before pointing towards her little brother's side. "Wait, is that a Jack Elephant?" She asked as she took her brother's hand that was holding his InDex, and it explained what a Jack Elephant was.

"G'day mates!" Jack greeted everyone.

The girls besides Longfang blinked at the British, sounding dual-type.

Longfang looked confused. "My lord, why does this warrior have the same feeling as you?'

"That's because I put a Sei-type sealing Ki around him," Arthur explained.

"Hi, there!" Calypso patted Jack on the head. Mora just waved in a friendly manner.

Longfang still looked confused.

"Here is the short version. I'm going to remove my Ki around this guy and see what happens to him," Arthur spoke up as he did so.

The insect suddenly stood up straight and started slowly walking in the direction of a tall building. "I obey your well." It droned on emotionlessly.

Arthur then placed his Ki again to protect the baby Jack Elephant, and it looked around itself. "By Jove! I walked the path and seen the light!"

"Ok, I will not remove that anymore," Arthur said worryingly.

Leni looked to Arthur. "Arty, why did Jacky suddenly looked hypnotized?"

"It's why I have been having trouble trying to use my Ki. This weird energy around the City is leaking into the forest, and it's making Mons go to it. Arthur pointed towards the building. "I think that Koro went into there."

The girls looked over at the building.

It wasn't very grand or tall compared to all the other buildings, plus this building actually looked ancient and had a condemned warning all around it, with fences and such.

The group was one block away, hiding behind the other buildings as they looked at their target from a corner.

"Does anyone else feel this strange energy…?" Longfang spoke up as she shook her head to assuage the headache she was having.

"Concurred, my wolfish compatriot," Jacky commented.

"Arty, go in there and get my cutie back!" Leni spoke as she threw a heated glare at the building.

"I know. I know... Call Momo. I think I might have an idea," Arthur spoke up.

"I have got to stop letting Arty make all the ideas," Calypso spoke up as the three humans, the half-light elf, went into the building.

"I'll stop making ideas when someone bothers to actually help me out with them," Arthur whispered back.

They all made it past the fence when Longfangrippeds it open with her claws.

"Hark! We trespass into dangerous territory with little reinforcements to back us! This will be legendary, lads!" Jacky spoke with bloodlust.

"Now this a warrior! But hush! We must act like them, remember?!" Longfang agreed and silenced the dual type.

"Arty, may I just say that this plan is even stupider than the one you had at the Llama Jockstrap Invasion?" Mora harshly whispered to the boy.

"It was the only thing I could think of with little options!" The boy defended. "And that was plan perfect, thank you very much!"

"I like this plan.…." Leni spoke up.

In case one was not fully aware, Arthur and the girls were in a Koberus costume. A large bovine mon.

How convenient of Arthur to find an open costume store while he was bumbling around after getting lost.

Arthur was currently walking the front legs while Mora was working with the hind legs. Leni and Calypso were cramped in the middle. This was obviously a novel experience Calypso and Mora never wanted to go through again.

"Thank you, Leni!"

As they walked towards the condemned building, the main entrance opened up for them.

"See. it's working." Arthur whispered in triumph.

"It really shouldn't be." Calypso rolled her at her dufus boyfriend smirk.

"If there are cameras nearby, I'm betting they aren't giving us a close look. Otherwise, they would know our fur was plastic." Arthur deduced. "Now act like a zombie and Say 'I obey or something like that."

"I obey." Longfang and Jacky droned off in either very well-acted sarcasm or very good acting; Arthur couldn't tell which.

As they all walked down the dust and broken building, they soon came across something none of them were expecting.

There was a high-tech-looking elevator in the middle of a condemned building, and it didn't look like it could go any higher than the first floor. But, of course, this only meant that if the elevator didn't go up… they were both going down.

"Okay, I did not see that coming," Arthur commented softly as the elevator opened up for all of them.

"Um, my lord?" Longfang looked worried as they went into the lower depths of the building.

"Mate?" Jacky spoke up with obvious worry. This was looking far worse than it planned.

The blonde-haired boy knew this and started working his head into overdrive. "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!"

When the elevator opened up, the group was surprised to see an underground lab.

From a small peephole in the Koberus costume, Leni gasped and spoke up. "Arty, look at that!"

There was this lavish room with a sizeable amount of Mons all staring at this gigantic machine. On the machine was a Dreamdery dancing and wearing a helmet connected towards the machine, as if it was amplifying his powers.

Dreamdery are tricky pests that love to feed on dreams. They possess strong hypnotic powers, which it uses to force others to do its bidding.

"My my, what do we have here? I've never seen that Mon before." A feminine voice called out. "Is that a Jack Elephant? Here! The boss will have that."

"I guess," a masculine voice replied.

The female voice also said. "And that's a dire wolf. They are only found near Camelot! And it's a shinny one to boot! That is a really rare catch. Looks like our Dreamdery machine works wonderfully to hypnotize all the stupid creatures within the city."

That was enough for Arthur to keep them on trafficking and poaching.

"Anyway, have the two in the VIP. We're running out of room here, so move that Koberus into one of the other rooms." The female voice said.

"What? "The humans wondered in their minds before a giant claw came from above them—then crushed their cardboard costume right down the middle.

"HOLY FUCK!?" the male voice cried out as he thought he saw the claw crush a live Koberus like lobster, but then as the cardboard fell, Arthur and the girls exposed out.

"Well, that didn't last long!" Calypso spoke dryly.

"What the—intruders!" Now that Arthur and his harem were out of the costume, they had better views of the two previously speaking people.

One of them is a young man with fair skin, spikey aquamarine hair, and teal eyes. He wears a long white sleeve shirt with a black undershirt. He also wears a black belt, white pants, and white shoes.

The other was a young woman with fair skin, blonde with purple eyes, and a strange pig-tail style. She also wears light pink lipstick and has triangle-shaped earrings. Her outfit is a long trenchcoat that is colored white with black accents.

"Dreamdery, surround them!" The male cried out, making the mystic type move the large group of Mons to turn viciously towards the group.

Leni gasped as she saw on top of a Calfalze, there was the Koro! "What are you guys doing and why!?" She demanded of the two. "Also, Arty, catch that cute cow! The horns are adorbs!"

"What? How could you not know of The Black Organization or Team Black Numbers? We're infamous all around the world!" The female bragged.

"Well, I'm from a small town," Arthur spoke up as he started surveying the surrounding area, trying to buy as much time as he could to think of something, and it seemed to be working.

"Us too!" Mora and Leni added along.

"I'm from Haiti... In the Nassau Region." Calypso finished.

"Oh really? Well, in that case…." The female and the male smirked darkly before all the lights in the room shut off.

Everyone was confused, but two spotlights appeared right on top of the two adults with dramatic music blasting around them.

"Prepare for Trouble!" The female started.

"And make it double!" The male finished.

"Here's our mission, so you better listen!" They both shouted out simultaneously, and soon, there was dramatic background music as they continued their double monologue.

Longfang stared and asked. "What are they doing?"

"To rule the world with our desolation!"

"To crush the hopes in every nation!"

"To bring the Darkness to the world!"

"To Ruling the world!!"

"Attila! Number #XLVII" The blonde female finally introduced herself, and shortly after her, the man shouted out his name.

"And Hun! Number #LXXXIX"

"The Black Organization is looking is strong all right!"

"Surrender to us now, or you'll surely lose the fight!"

"Jumpa! (That's right!)." A Jumpa Kangaroo Mon jumped in between the two after they finished the main double monologue.

…

…

"The Black Organization?" Calypso spoke up, not knowing how to respond to all of... that…

"I like your background music," Arthur commented on their performance.

"Thank you!" Attila and Hun said happily.

"Now as a member of The Hunter Elite Tactics Squad! I hereby place you two under arrest for poaching." Arthur shouted as he showed his Noble I rank badge.

"Wow, I'm so scared of HETS!" Attila mockingly said. "Not…" She snapped her fingers

All the hypnotized Mons snarled at the six of them.

"It looks like I have to discipline such a cute boy." Attila giggled.

"Back off, bitch! He is ours!" Calypso growled at the woman as she broke her twin flintlock pistols.

"Finish them!"

"I don't think so!" Arthur shouted.

"Oh? And what are you going to do about it, boy?" Hun mockingly taunted while Attila and, by proxy, all hypnotized mons laughed.

"A light show!" Arthur placed his hands close to the center of his face with his fingers spread toward his eyes. "Solar Flare!"

Calypso and Mora quickly shielded Longfang and Jacky's eyes.

A bright shined the room blinding everyone.

"My eyes!" Huh whined as he started rubbing his closed eyelids.

"You little brat!" Attila roared, "Everyone fire! I don't care how; hit that fucker!"

"Everyone, get close to me now!" Arthur ordered. "Sei-type transformation!" Arthur puts in hands together tightly. "Barrier of Light!"

A sphere of light surrounds the group. The Mons blasted everywhere randomly as more hits the shield, the more bright it becomes.

This move protects everyone, but the user can't move at all.

"Calypso, if you would please blow that thing," Arthur asked his Haitian girlfriend.

"Like hell," Hun spoke but was cut off by a cannon firing.

*Bang*

Calypso shot Dreamdery in the knees. Nope, it was just a pistol… that sounded like a cannon.

Hun and Attila gawked at the female pirate princess.

"Uhh, Sis?" Hun asked his partner/sister as all the Mons they once controlled were now free of their commands and slowly asking among themselves what was going on.

"Xemags will not like this!" Attila exclaimed in fear before the two bolted towards the main elevator.

Only stop dead in their track when Arthur appears in front of them.

"Yeah, no" He quickly grabbed the two of them and then slammed their heads together, effectively knocking them out cold.

Jacky and Longfang just stare at their trainer in shock.

"Is he always that strong?" Jacky asked. Hoping someone would answer him.

"Nah. He is much stronger than this, but Arty used most of Ki in a fight last year and was nearly killed. So now he has to slowly regain it back." Leni spoke as she raced up and to grab the two cute Mons she was eyeing earlier.

"I guess my lord doesn't need my training," Longfang shrugged. Arthur, being strong, was a plus for her.

After calling the York New police department, the group went out into the city.

For one, it was definitely bigger than Camelot. Second, the young noble had a bit of a culture shock. Having never gone into a city that wasn't on fire beside his home. Camelot was out in the countryside. You were used to grassing plains as far as the eye could see, peace and quiet, and not that many people. Trust him! In this world, 50k is a small town number.

York New City was like the exact opposite. People nearly everywhere almost felt like a sea of humans, cars, and people shouting over each other, and bright billboards were attached to many of the buildings.

"What wrong with the air here?" Arthur asked, confused.

"That would be Air pollution Arty," Calypso spoke up and then giggled when Arthur showed a face of shock.

"How!" Arthur asked in shock while looked around before noticing some balloons fly into the sky with some flying Mons cleaning them up. "Is there an event here?"

It was then the young man had his attention caught by a poster near a building. It was a tri-colored poster with symbols in the shape of the three legendary snakes beasts of Del Los: Terralisk, Kamado Guyana, and Dragonous. Even though there were many commercialized products, this one poster caught Arthur's attention simply because he swore he saw it before on his dad's desk before he sprawled himself on the nearest empty couch after a long day of running from his harem.

"The Three Gyms of York New City?" Arthur raised his brow as he read this out loud. So this city had three gyms? How did that work?

As you can see, Arthur's attention span needs work.

Yet, Arthur was rather excited to learn the very first town already had that many Gyms. After all, how could he get to the Battle League without badges? Plus, he wanted his friend to fight trainers and stuff. "Well, I guess we should challenge one of these gyms! I bet I can get three badges right off the bat!"

At this point, a young man with tanned skin wearing blue-themed gear came right in front of Arthur and his harem.

"Hey there!"

Ever happy to see new people, Arthur greeted back, "Yo!"

"I challenge you to battle!"
