Static- wow! More reviews :) Thank you everybody who’s reviewed my story. Anyway…

Aikuro walked through the streets of the city around him. Shops and skyscrapers lined both sides of the pedestrian walk way and people everywhere hurried from place to place shopping. In amongst these frantic people were people who stood still passing out leaflets for different organisations. Jun had followed Aikuro all the way here and didn’t appear to be going away any time soon.

"Save the J-mon! Don’t keep them locked away! They need to be free!" A person had jumped out in front of Aikuro.

"Sorry, I’m a trainer." He replied calmly.

"YOU HAVE TO REFORM!" He yelled into Aikuro’s face

"No, I really don’t think" Aikuro started before he was cut off.

"THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT! RELEASE YOUR J-MON NOW" He yelled again. Aikuro twitched. The man was about to yell again before Jun leapt out of nowhere and slapped him over the back of the head.

"He said NO!" She proudly declared whilst the man cradled the back of his head. She then proceeded to push Aikuro through the crowd. Aikuro decided struggling would be a bad idea, considering what she just did to that man, so he hurriedly walked on. As they came to a J-centre though she stopped.

"Thanks" Aikuro sighed.

"No problem" She smiled back at him. "Now, go get your Mana a new guitar so you can go to the local auditorium."

"Will do!" Aikuro said affirmatively, before wandering into the J-centre. As he walked in through the double doors, he looked around in awe. The walls were lined with instruments of all types and there were doors that lead to pianos, amplifiers drum kits and all manner of instruments. Aikuro released Mana into the store. "Go pick a guitar Mana." Mana ran off to find a guitar. Aikuro walked into the piano section of the store and released Yoshiki. Yoshiki wandered around studying the pianos before choosing one that he liked. Aikuro paid the person at the counter for both the piano and a nice new guitar that Mana had chosen. He wandered out the store to find Jun nowhere in sight, so he started off towards the Auditorium.

As he reached the front of the Auditorium he looked at the sign on the front door. It read: "Composer Kurel’s musical auditorium." Aikuro shrugged and entered. The room was filled with chairs that circled a large round stage that had been centred in the middle of the room. Aikuro walked onto the stage and lights turned on and shone down on the stage.

"Welcome" A large man spoke as he stepped up onto the other end of the stage. "I am Kurel, are you here for a lesson or a battle?"

"A battle" Aikuro replied clutching his J-ball belt.

"Very well, if you can beat my J-mon using two of yours, I’ll declare you the winner."

"That doesn’t seem fair, but you’re on!"

Kurel drew a j-ball from his pocket and threw it into the middle of the ring. It glowed white and released a familiar j-rocker. Aikuro pointed his J-dex towards the J-mon:

"J-rocker positively identified as Spread Beaver type artist Honma Kiyoshi"

Aikuro smiled "Okay, then I choose Yoshiki" He released Yoshiki into the middle of the stage.

"Kiyoshi" Kurel paused as he considered his attack. Aikuro didn’t.

"Yoshiki, play your guitar at him!" Yoshiki played his guitar, but Kiyoshi seemed more confused than hurt.

"Ha! Yoshiki with a guitar? How new are you? Kiyoshi, beat him at his own game!" Kiyoshi proceeded to play his guitar violently at Yoshiki, who immediately fumbled at his guitar playing.

"Uh-oh. Yoshiki, quick, try the piano!" Aikuro panicked. Yoshiki’s guitar glowed white and transformed into the newly bought piano. He began to play a piano solo that filled the auditorium with music.

"That’s more like it, a challenge!" Kurel gave a brief smirk "Kiyoshi! Use your internet obsession!" Kiyoshi nodded and a modem with a long cable appeared. He threw the modem out and it struck Yoshiki directly in the head, knocking him unconscious. Aikuro pushed his jaw shut.

"How?. . . How did you?" Aikuro stuttered.

"Talent my boy, pure talent, my Kiyoshi is very well trained" He paused "and very obsessed."

Aikuro paused before withdrawing his Yoshiki. "Okay, one choice left." He said quietly. "Go hide!" A flash of white light produced a hide.

"A hide, this might be fun" Kurel joked. "Kiyoshi, internet obsession!"

"hide, bow your head!" Hide bowed his head as the modem sped towards him. The modem bounced harmlessly off hide’s mound of hair. "Yes!" Aikuro yelled. Hide began to glow white and changed shape. Aikuro pointed his J-dex at the new J-mon.

"J-rocker positively identified as Spread Beaver type artist Matsumoto hide" Aikuro smiled. Kurel didn’t.

"Kiyoshi, play your guitar at him! Quick!" Kurel sounded impatient.

"Hide, lemon’d I scream through a megaphone!" Aikuro said excitedly. Hide drew a megaphone and proceeded to sing through it. Kiyoshi tried to play his guitar over the singing, but the megaphone over powered him. Eventually Kiyoshi fell on the floor twitching and Kurel withdrew him. "YES!" Aikuro jumped up and down.

"Well done." Kurel stated, "You’ve earned your Spread Beaver plectrum." He handed a multi-coloured plectrum to Aikuro.

"Thank you" Aikuro replied before recalling hide and leaving the auditorium.

Outside he met up with Jun. "You win?" She enquired. Aikuro smiled and helled up his plectrum.

"Yeah!"

"Where to now?"

"The next town!" he replied gleefully.

Static- well, this one took a while to write, but if you all enjoy it then it’ll be worth it *smile* hope you enjoyed it.
