Victoria's eyes went big ....she looked like she was about to lose it again as those words stung harshly. Tears would well up in her eyes, as she would keep her hold on Jasmine as she blurted back out.
"That's not true ....that's not true, I am not alone. I am not the only ...survivor ...my brother ...he has to."
Victoria stop as she looks at the ghost, and her eyes would drop as a slow acceptances would curl in her. Denial had kept her going, maybe, it was time to stop. She always run away, always hid, because, she knew in the heart of it one truth.
"I am alone aren't I?"
She asked herself.
"I am scared ....I am scared of being alone. I sleep with my pokemon around me, I can't stand the dark anymore, and I am terrified of ghost."
"Is that what you want to hear from me?"
Her anger would mirror her shadow, and then drop to sadness.
"It's the truth, that night ....it wasn't just the ghost that got me, but the guilt. I think ..I left the gate open, I killed them all ...my family. But, my brother has to still be alive, I haven't completely surrendered, because if I do."
(You won't survive it)
Animus would end her statement for her.
(I don't hate you anymore.)
The Nidorino would declare as he moved to parry his shadow like he had done him prior.
(I don't really want to die, which, is why I choose to say I would kill you before I die. You won't let me kill you, and I won't be successful. I loved her ...my beloved, but, I am not ready to join her yet.)
Besides, I am not alone ...I enjoy your company ...the fighting, the clashes, and I am not ready to give it up. So, you aren't alone anymore, and neither am I in this.)
Victoria would see her form coming at her, and say it in the face of her opponent as she would shift Jasmine a bit as she aimed with one hand to punch herself in the face.
"WE are no longer alone!"
She would shout.
Victoria roll# 1, Animus roll# 2

Jasmine looked on with her own wide eye, set upon the other Burnout... it should have been knocked out... but still she wasn't going to give up...
They still had no idea how they were doing this, but any idea this was a simple illusion was dying out quicker and quicker.
Burnout looked on, he could feel the dark energy wreathing around his own copy, and the other Jasmine.... His eyes set on Victoria, and her words were considered...
[You're not me...] Burnout considered upon his rival self... [But you are what I used to be...] He fixed his look upon the other Lampent.
[You're what I used to be.] He gazed at it even as flames began to conjure.
[Jasmine?] He spoke backward. [We're making them stronger denying them.]
Burnout opened his mechanism suddenly, but instead of pushing out flame... he began sucking it in! His mechanism was drawing in the Heatwave, looking to pull it inside his own glass dome!
As he sucked it in, he shut the lamp suddenly, his visage bright and swirling in flame. [We'll only beat them for real if we accept them for what they are.]
[Only then may you overcome your darker half!] He called out, before suddenly the mechanism opened, and now the Heatwave was released, along with Burnout's own, right back at the Shadow Burnout, he would exert himself in this action, but he blasted at the other Lampent and the towering Jasmine's bandages, looking to burn them away before they could reach the real Jasmine!
Jasmine could only look at it all dumbfounded, she wasn't sure she even understood it... her head was still swirling to try and take it all in... and with Victoria there aside her...
The girl had admitted it all... and her... she looked at the glass Jasmine even as flames blasted at her...
"Maybe I do rely on people!" She called at it. "And maybe I do hide behind them as well... but that doesn't mean I can't learn from it!"
Suddenly she pulled, and using her own weight looked to pull Victoria down as well, seeing her attack about to fail, she wanted to protect them both to pull them out of harms way.
"If I can help someone else... then maybe I can start to learn to help myself as well!"
((Roll 1, Jasmine, Roll 2, Burnout))

Blows would collide...but the result would not be quite what either child was expecting.
The horns of the twin Nidorino would cross, but Animus's shadow looked gentle, his eyes seeming to smile moments before his entire being would shift, then vanish.
Flames would wash over the group despite the efforts of those present, but the heat was not that of a scorching burn. It was warm, like a hand on the cheek or the embrace of a loved one. A single ember would lightly kiss Jasmine's cheek, the shadowy doppelgänger of Burnout giving a firm, approving nod. The next instant he would disappear much like his cohort.
Bandages would stop their trail inches from Jasmine's head, slowly disintegrating backward to their source. Glass and metal cracked, shattering all at once and striking the floor, the remains twinkling like glitter as they disappeared, leaving the Shadow Jasmine in their wake. "About time" The girl stated, just managing to cross her arms.
At the same time Victoria's double would come to a halt mid-swing, standing less then a foot from the original. Arm raised, her mask would fall to the floor. Shadows would release, spilling onto the ground like water as the rag-doll body was peeled away, leaving only a perfect copy of Victoria in their wake. Placing one hand on the shoulder of the true Victoria, she'd smile brightly, tears streaming down her cheeks as she waved a hand.
The next instant both shadows would disappear...but the children would not be left entirely alone. Before each of them a shimmering card would appear.
Before Jasmine, spinning lightly in the air, was the 'The Fool'. Victoria's gaze would be met with 'The Hangman'; both cards from the Major Arcana.
Yet these were not the only cards. Two more, larger then the one's they'd received, would appear a few feet away spinning ominously while resting on one corner.
One was 'The Death' card, the word Celadon written on the back. The other was the 'The Tower' the word Tin scribbled upon the back in large letters. With just enough time to read these words the cards would abruptly burst into flame, leaving the two girl's alone in the darkness. While the first two cards seemed to be their's to keep, the second were clearly messages. One meant for each.

Bio Victoria caught this pokemon after killing his mate in the Chrono Cavern. His evolution is a side affect of his hatred of her and his wish for revenge. She couldn't turn down a pokemon that resonates so deeply with her own personality. The only problem she has now is actually taming this pokemon or at the very least getting him to work for her purpose. His pokeball has cracks and scratches in it, a hint of their very brittle bond.
((Just to clarify in case anyone thinks to check. Yes you only get the EXP for defeating the Shadow Burnout. Since the power level was set to shift based on level of denial the level for EXP was set to 6))

(I think the tin is meant for Victoria right)
Victoria and Jasmine would find that that slight push was almost enough to make her face plant as the girl would catch herself on one hand and knee and hope that Jasmine didn't upset the balance enough to force her upon her face.
A single card would glint in front of her ....as she sat back to accept it.
Her hand holding it tightly as she saw the other two, and her mind reel with the knowledge of them.
"The tower? Do it mean the Tin Tower?"
She would question as she thought about it for a moment and then the one that she knew had Celedon on the back made her look over at the girl..
"I wonder if these are hints of where we go next ...., because, that card is death ....or life ...depending on how you look at it. So, maybe, I need to go to Celedon instead, since, I got the hanging man.
"But, neither one of use got the Tower."
The girl had caught on perhaps quickly to the meaning of those cards. Animus would sit back as he looks over at Burn out
(You didn't see any of this)
He would caution the ghost type darkly, and as his words cut through ....Victoria would realize it as well as her eyes would narrow at Jasmine.
"Ditto, nothing that happens here ...leaves here, or else, I will break both arms and legs, before I break your neck."
She would tell her with a snarl on her lips.

((Yes Tin was for Victoria. Celadon was Jasmine.))
((Death doesn't refer to literal death, or rather it rarely does. The Death card refers to change, often dramatic change, or new beginnings. The 'death' of old ways, opinions, or methods.))
((I was being a tad more literally with the Tower Card.))

And as strange as it had began, it was over... As Jasmine was left with a card, now lying on the ground there from where she had pulled Victoria down.
The girl was utterly spent, a film of sweat over what was visible of her brow, her arm now uncomfortably pinned under her odd as she just let herself y and digest it all in.
What HAD that experience been with the shadows?
Who had been trying to give them clues? And why?
She lay there for moments on...
But Victoria and Animus were far quicker to recover than she was, their ultimatum spoken.
The Lampent puffed flame but turned away rom Animus without answer at first. [Your threat is meaningless to me.]
[...Yet I see no reason for me to take interest in words of fleeting shadows, if anything-] His painted circles of eyes turned back to just glance at the Nidorino. [You found out far more terrible information on myself than I you.]
He turned back to Jasmine, [Shout it wherever you wish, but I hold no stock in their words.]
It seemed Victoria wasn't the only one ready to put the whole thing behind them, but Jasmine just looked up feebly with a hacking laugh. "I think I beat you to the arm...?"
"But... I certainly couldn't turn down a partners request."
Despite everything, she was trying to get up, using her good hand to push up, her body trembling as it struggled, "Now at least we know where we're going for Celadon-"
[Absolutely not!] Burnout barked as he floated towards the pair.
His eyes danced to Victoria. [I humbly request your assistance in returning Jasmine to the Pokemon Center.]
"Burnout, but-" the girl looked more pained at the Lampent than her own wounds.
[No buts.] he snuffed flame again. [We were outmanoeuvred today.]
[We require new tactics, and more training before we hope to progress any further... And we are not doing anything until your shoulder and arm are seen to.]
Jasmine would remain quiet enough for whatever would be next, whilst Burnout looked at Victoria. [A deal is a deal. You keep the money you have earned. Aid Jasmine to the Center and you may consider the partnership completed for now.]
[We will continue th rest of our journey forward alone.]
[It is the only way we will truly grow.]

"I didn't need you to tell me that!"
Victoria would snap at the flaming ghost. It would take a moment for her to realize she was having a conversation with a ghost type, and she wasn't passing out nor breaking out in a cold sweat.
That meant she accepted him, because, she as under no delusion she was cured of her problem.
"Let's go home."
She would tell Animus as the pokemon would roll his eyes.
(You don't need to tell me that either)
Helping getting Jasmine to her feet, she would put her arm around her shoulder and then started to take them towards the entrances of the place and from there, they were going to go to the Pokemon Center.
Though why she wasn't asking for a hospital was well beyond ....Victoria's frame of thought.
Jasmine is weird.
(Head to the Pokemon center)

Jasmine grimaced as her shoulder was touched, but she bared with it, Victoria was under one arm, she took up her crutch as well to help, not to be completely hauled back.
She didn't like it... but Burnout of course was right, she was in no state to help anyone right now...
The ghost would be the one who would leave last.
He cast a glance backward at the strange place... the things they'd seen still made no sense... yet some force was on their side...
And that alone left him with enough suspicions for now as they would head onward.
[EXIT TO CENTER]

Theo entered the battle room with Midnight,his litwick on his shoulder. "Lit litwick.." Midnight snuggled closer as it could sensed the place's atmosphere. dry blood could be seen on the floor, blood? that sure made you worried that they didn't bother to clean it up. he stopped just in the doorway as he inspected his surrounding and try to find the examiner.

(Yup, but you can't participate sorry, it an event that has been in full swing since December started)
A voice would yawn as though it had been sleeping for a while as it declares lightly. Though there would be no one attached for him to see. It was one of those places where it seemed the voices came from the walls themselves.
"Welcome to the battle arena, here, you are to take your final test for admittances into your chosen team. Now with that in mind, this final battle ....yawn ...will be a pokemon battle. Do you ...yawn ...know how to battle, or do you need to take this test as a tutorial?"
The voice would ask her.

A sudden voice could be heard,but no people could be seen. "calm down,Midnight" Theo soothed his Litwick, use your senses,it is just machine. Finally his final test, but Theo isn't that worried about it, even with his timid Midnight. He had managed to lessen the timidness by making the Litwick to trust him for his command. "Battle" he boldly choose, what use is test if it's tutorial.

"As you wish."
The voice would declare as two things would appear at once. The first was his opponent, a sleek looking creature with it's orange fur press against it's skin flat, and the second would be a bottle of something that seemed quite vile in looks.
It would shake a bit, but for the most part remain still.
"Have your pokemon drink that, and we shall begin. Fastest pokemon strike first."
The voice would add as the Buizel would give a smug look. He didn't figure this as being much of a fight.
