12 DAYS BEFORE THE CORONATION
DIAZ, ALREADY AWAKE BUT STILL TIRED, TRIES TO STAY STAND.
MAXIMILIANO:OKEY DIAZ. THE MEETING IS AT SUNSET SO, IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN WALK THROUGH THE VILLAGE FOR A WHILE.
DIAZ:(SNORING) EH? Y-YES SURE.
MAXIMILIANO:BY THE WAY. I HAVE NOT SEEN BELLI SINCE YESTERDAY, IT WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE TOWN. SO, IF IT IS NOT A LARGE REQUEST, TELL IT TO COME SOON. HE WILL BE THE ASSIGNED GUARD.
DIAZ:YESYES (YAWN) I WARN HIM ... THAT.
AND DIAZ GOES OUT. AND THE LIGHT OF THE SUN GETS IN THE EYES.
DIAZ:AAH! IT HURT!.
AND RUBBING YOUR EYES AND WETTING YOUR FACE WITH THE WATER THAT SURROUNDED THE CASTLE, IT OPENS THEM. AND DIAZ, AFTER DOING STRETCHES, LEAVE THE CASTLE AND GO TO THE VILLAGE.
DIAZ:(Yawning) GOD, I'M HUNGRY.
AND ENTER THE DINING ROOM OF EMPOLEON. AND DIAZ, AFTER ORDERING HIS FOOD, SITS UP.
DIAZ:....
EMPOLEON:HERE YOU HAVE DIAZ, AN ASLAC BERRY TEA, ALONG WITH LAVA COOKIES.
DIAZ:YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, EMPOLEON.
AND DIAZ EATS THE COOKIES AND DRINKS THE TEA.
DIAZ:MMMM, I LOVE THAT ACID TOUCH, HOW MUCH DO I OWE YOU ?.
EMPOLEÓN:DIAZ. YOU KNOW THAT YOU EAT FOR FREE, YOU ARE MORE A FRIEND THAN A CUSTOMER.
DIAZ:MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN HELP YOU IN YOUR WORK.
EMPOLEON:AND HOW ARE YOU GOING FRIEND? DO YOU ENJOY MY GIFT ?.
DIAZ:ARE YOU MEANING TO THE WOODEN PLATE? I LIKE IT, EVEN THOUGH I USE IT FOR SOUP.
EMPOLEON:AS LONG AS YOU ENJOY IT, I'M FINE.
DIAZ:....
EMPOLEON:WHY THAT SAD FACE?.
DIAZ:...FOR IN TWELVE DAYS I WILL BE CROWNED KING OF THE NORTH.
EMPOLEON:CONGRATULATIONS DIAZ.
DIAZ:I WISH WAS HAPPY.
EMPOLEON:... I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
DIAZ:LOOK EMPOLEON. YOU SUPPORT ME....BUT THE OTHERS WILL NOT SEEM TO DO IT.
EMPOLEON:...AH I UNDERSTAND. IT IS FOR THE CASE OF THE "NOT WORTHY".
DIAZ:DON'T SAY SO, PLEASE.
EMPOLEON:LOOK DIAZ, I UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE ANNOYED BY THE FACT THAT NOBODY GIVES YOU THE GREAT RESPECT THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE THE KING'S SUCCESSOR.
DIAZ:THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. WHAT BUGS ME IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME. AND IF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LEAD THEM?
EMPOLEON:WELL. SURE THERE ARE SOME WHO DO LOVE YOU.
DIAZ:AND NOW I'LL STAY AWAY FROM THEM WHEN I'M KING.
EMPOLEON:....WOULD IT HELP YOU IF I FIGHT WITH YOU ?.
DIAZ:...ARE YOU NOT BUSY?.
EMPOLEON:NOBODY COMES ON SUNDAYS. IT'S THE DAY WHEN THE POKÉMONS GO TO THE FLORGES SHOW.
DIAZ:I NEVER WENT TO THOSE SHOWS.
EMPOLEON:YOU SHOULD NOT, THOSE ARE ADULT SHOWS.
DIAZ:....OK...THANK YOU EMPOLEON.
AND CLOSING THE DINING ROOM. EMPOLEÓN ACCOMPANIES DIAZ TO THE KINGDOM BATTLEFIELD.
DIAZ:IT'S CURIOUS TO SEE THE STADIUM COMPLETELY EMPTY.
EMPOLEON:THIS BRINGS ME MEMORIES. AFTER YOU TURNED 5 YEARS OLD, MAXIMILIANO DECIDED TO BUILD A STADIUM IN THE KINGDOM. AND SO, EVERY YEAR, MAXIMILIANO CARRIES OUT SOME BATTLES WE SEE.
DIAZ:YES, IT'S TRUE. I SAW ALL THE PRESENTATIONS, I WAS FASCINATED BY THOSE PRESENTATIONS, YOU WERE IN SOME OF THOSE FIGHTS.
EMPOLEON:BUT I ALWAYS ENDED IN BAD POSITIONS, I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE OF THE AGE.
DIAZ:DON'T SAY THAT.
EMPOLEON:HEY DIAZ, YOU ARE ALREADY 13 YEARS OLD, WILL YOU SIGN UP FOR NEXT YEAR ?.
DIAZ:I DOUBT IT, I'LL BE KING.
EMPOLEON:THERE ARE NO RULES SAYING THAT THE KING CANNOT ENTER.
DIAZ:....LET'S BETTER START THE COMBAT.
AND THEY GET IN POSITION.
EMPOLEON:DIAZ, EVEN IF YOU'RE YOUNG, I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOFT.
AND DIAZ, GIVING GENTLE PUSHES IN THE FACE.
DIAZ:YOU KNOW I PREFER REAL COMBATS.
AND THE COMBAT BEGINS.
EMPOLEON:SWIM!.
AND EMPOLEON USED -Surf-. AND LOTS OF WATER FILLS THE FIELD, MAKING DIAZ SWIM IN THE WATER. AND EMPOLEON GOES DOWN THE WATER.
DIAZ: DAMN.
AND TAKING A BIT OF AIR. DIAZ NOTHING UNDER WATER, TAKING A MINIMUM OF 2 MINUTES BEFORE HE HAS TO BREATHE AGAIN. WHILE DIAZ DESCENDED THIS USED -Work Up-, GIVING A RED AURA ON HIS BODY.
EMPOLEON: HELLO DIAZ.
AND EMPOLEON, MOVING FASTER IN THE WATER, USED SEVERAL TIMES -Drill Peck-. AND DIAZ WAS TRYING TO BLOCK THEM BUT, BEING THE FIGHTING TYPE, THOSE FLYING TYPE ATTACKS DAMAGED HIM A LOT.
DIAZ: ...
AND DIAZ MANAGES TO AVOID A HIT. AND, SEIZING THE MOMENT, IT HITS HIM ON THE BEAK AND GOES AWAY. AND DIAZ KEEPS SWIMMING DOWN, GETTING A MINUTE OF AIR.
EMPOLEON:DON'T DISTURB!.
AND EMPOLEON USES -Hydro Pump- BUT DIAZ AVOIDS IT. AND DIAZ, WITHOUT WASTE OF TIME, BEGINS QUICKLY DIGGING, DRIVING A DEEP HOLE. AND THE WATER BEGAN TO LOWER.
EMPOLEON:....
AND THE FIELD WAS WITHOUT WATER AGAIN.
EMPOLEON:... READY GUY.
AND SUDDENLY, FEELING SOME VIBRATIONS, THE GROUND OPENS. AND A FIST HITS EMPOLEON FROM BELOW.
EMPOLEON:UUUUUUUUHHH!!.
AND FALLS TO THE GROUND.
DIAZ:...WOW, SORRY.
EMPOLEON:IT'S OK .... YOU GOT A GOOD FIGHT .... IT BURNS A LOT.
DIAZ:MAYBE I SHOULD NOT USE -Work Up-.
EMPOLEON:NONONO, (INHALING THROUGH THE BEAK), YOU DONE WELL TO USE A MOVEMENT TO BOOST YOUR STRENGTH.....AND SWIMMING TO THE BOTTOM TO DIG A HOLE WAS A GOOD WAY TO REMOVE THE WATER.
DIAZ:...THANK YOU.
EMPOLEON:I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONSENT MY WIFE FOR A TIME.
DIAZ:WHAT DO YOU MEAN "CONSENT"?
EMPOLEON:.... EEEEH, GOOD FIGHT !. ALTHOUGH YOU SHOULD USE MORE ATTACKS. SO FAR YOU ONLY USED -Dig- AND -Work Up-.
DIAZ:BEING HONEST. I THINK DIGGING IS MORE OF A SKILL THAN AN ATTACK.
EMPOLEON:IN ANY CASE. YOU SHOULD USE MORE ATTACKS, ESPECIALLY IN REAL COMBAT.
DIAZ:BEING SINCERE IT IS HARD TO USE ALL. -Aura Sphere- IS AN ATTACK THAT I ONLY USE TO FINISH A QUICK FIGHT OR AS A LAST RESOURCE. AND THE -Shadow Claw- I ONLY USE THEM FOR HIGH DIFFICULTY COMBAT.
EMPOLEON:WHAT ABOUT THE -Focus Punch- ?.
DIAZ:I DON'T PERFECT THAT YET.
EMPOLEON:TO USE IT YOU MUST MAINTAIN A GREAT CONCENTRATION. THESE KIND OF ATTACKS ARE RARE TO SEE AND AT THE SAME TIME DIFFICULT, IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE.
DIAZ:...THANK YOU EMPOLEON.
EMPOLEON:LISTEN DIAZ. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED THAT THE OTHERS REJECT YOU, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THAT DISADVANTAGE OF THE "BLOODY KING".
AND DIAZ ONLY SHAKED WHEN HE TRIED TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY.
DIAZ:....
EMPOLEON:BUT YOU WILL SHOW THEM THAT YOU ARE A GOOD KING.
DIAZ:....WELL. BETTER I'M GOING BACK TO THE CASTLE.
EMPOLEON:LUCK.
AND DIAZ WALKED TOWARDS THE CASTLE.
DIAZ:....
AND DIAZ NOTICED THAT THE KINGDOM WAS VERY EMPTY
DIAZ:....WHO WILL BE FLORGES ?.
AND WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING. ARRIVE AND ENTER THE CASTLE.
DIAZ:MAXIMILIANO!. I'M....BACK.
AND SAW THE OTHER KINGS.
KINGS:....
DIAZ:....HELLO.
MEANWHILE, IN A REMOTE LOCATION OF THE NORTH KINGDOM.
GROUP:♪SHE GAVE US LOVE, SHE GAVE US POWER. NOW WE MUST RETURN IT TO HER♪, ♪SHE GAVE US LOVE, SHE GAVE US POWER. NOW WE MUST RETURN IT TO HER♪, ♪SHE GAVE US LOVE, SHE GAVE US POWER. NOW WE MUST RETURN IT TO HER♪.
AND THAT GROUP BEGAN FORWARD, GOING TO THE KINGDOM OF THE NORTH.
