"So loud!" Marilay cried as she pressed her hands to her ears. The roar of the crowd was deafening. The kids were in the Riverside Stadium, an arena that overlooked the river. The next generation of Christianity Savers, except for Veronica, covered their ears from the crowd's constant noise.
"This doesn't bother you?" asked Andrew.
"No," Veronica replied. "I've been to lots of Sporemon battles here. I'm used to it." Suddenly in an explosion and cloud of dust filled the area where the Sporemon had fought.
"That battle only started three minutes ago! No wonder you suggested Kai Gero for our team." Andrew said, stunned.
Kai Gero was the number one ranked player in the Newman's town. A snake-like body and head rose above the dust in the stadium. The Sporemon Kai rode was huge, and looked like a big, white snake with red wings.
Alissa checked the Monipedia. "It says here that thing is a Couatl pronounced 'Ko-Wat-Al' It likes warm sunny regions and only those with a honed gift of the Spirit can train one."
The head rose even further and the kids could see Kai more clearly. He was at least 16 with short blond hair and intense eyes. With his hands in his pockets and with the way he carried himself, he seemed to take any challenger lightly, because, after all, he was the champ.
"Like we need two apathetic team-members," Andrew thought, "Veronica, and now Kai?"
The Savers went to a lower level, where the noise of the crowds was muffled. The kids heard a differant kind of noise. Celebratory shouts and roars were coming from the locker room. Perhaps Kai wasn't as apathetic as Andrew thought he was. Then the shouts and roars stopped. The kids went into the room. Kai was standing, solemn again, with Couatl by his side. A robed figure stood, obscured by shadows.
"So are you prepared for your greatest challenge, Kai Gero? After all, when you lose, your Sporemon will belong to the Liberation Troop." the robed figure said.
