For Team Snagem, life was simple. Wake up. Eat. Steal Pokémon from unsuspecting trainers and ship them off to another criminal syndicate named Cipher who turns them into Shadow Pokémon. Go to sleep and then wake up and do the whole thing all over ag...
The colosseum stands were packed as fans began to file into the massive arena. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as colosseum enthusiasts began chanting and shouting for the matches to begin. Below the stands was a massive circular arena with only two circles drawn on either end. Unlike the fields of most stadiums, this one had no white lines like battlefields in other regions. In the box above the stands, the announcer sat, waiting to call out the first competitors. In the stands, sitting close to where the action would go down, were Kai, Willie, and Valen. Kai crossed one leg over the other and leaned back on her hands as she waited patiently to see who would be first to fight.
"So...think he'll do well in here?" Kai asked aloud.
"Having battled him myself, I'd say he's got a really good shot in here. You saw him battle didn't you? He's got some major skill," Willie replied.
"True...he does have a lot of skill. I'd battle him myself but-"
"You don't wanna get wrecked?" Valen interjected, flipping the page of yet another magazine.
"Valen...I know you're a jackass, but do you have to be one twenty-four seven?" Willie quipped.
Valen shook his head and flipped another page. "No, I need some time to sleep...and weekends are my days off," Valen retorted.
Kai and Willie deadpanned.
"Goooood afternoon people of Pyrite!" The announcer bellowed, getting everyone's attention. The audience roared in excitement. "Welcome to another day in the pits! Are you all ready to see some action!?"
The crowed erupted into cheers and shouts. Chants exploded from all sides of the stadium. "Bring them out! Bring them out!" The crowd was restless.
"Well wait no longer! Today we have a treat for you all. It seems we have some new blood entering the colosseum today!" The announcer informed, causing murmurs to rush through the crowd. "That's right folks! We've got an out-of-towner here. We don't know much about him, save for his name, which is Wes!" The announcer echoed.
The camera men focused on the tunnel that Wes would be coming out of. Zooming in, they caught sight of movement. Out of the tunnel, the blonde trekked out, head held high with his hands at his side, shoulders relaxed and eyes focused forward. Everyone caught a glimpse of his piercing golden optics and the scar across his visage. His cloak came to a rest as he stopped. Wes adjusted his gloves and then waited for his opponent.

The Under. A subterranean city directly beneath the inhabitants of Pyrite City where Cipher influence reaches deep. It's a city filled with all sorts of entertainment, with the inclusion of popular clubs and of course, the Under Colosseum. But even that paled in comparison to getting a front row seat to a concert put on by their idol; Lady Venus. Within the confines of an apartment complex, situated on the top floor in a luxury suite, was the object of everyone's affection, Lady Venus. She sat dressed in an elegant pink dress that had slits on either side. Her hair was done up in a bun while some of her hair hung down in bouncy curls that kissed her shoulders. A tiara rested on her head. By her side was a creature with canine-like qualities.
