Pokemon POV starts,
Oni followed Glen outside of their house. He was instantly traumatized seeing one of his friends on the ground without its head. A large volume of red blood was coming from the place where its head was.
SMACK!!!
"Idiot!!! Now is not the time to be emotional. We cannot beat the Magmortart tribe. We have to get out."
As Oni and Glen went ahead to get out of the territory of the tribe, they saw Elder Sword fighting against multiple enemies. Some of them were at master rank and some of them were at god rank.
Elder Sword immediately noticed his disciples and said, "Run, we cannot beat them!!!"
Saying that line, he concentrated on the fight. He didn't have the luxury to talk to them.
Oni's swordy hands were shaking. Multiple emotions assaulted him. Anger, sorrow, sadness. It didn't want to leave its master behind, but it had no choice.
It closed its eyes, making a vow to itself that it would make this tribe suffer 100 times more. It started to run and follow its sister Glen, who was fighting and advancing. Oni started to help its sister too.
Unlike its sister, Oni was still at champion rank, but it was very close to reaching master rank. As they started to run, Oni only focused on getting out of here. Its sister was right. There was no time to care about others. First, they would have to save themselves.
The explosion and destruction of the tribe had almost caused it to flatter, but it pressed on.
As it was running with its sister, the duo saw around a few hundred members of the tribe that were also trying to run.
"Please, help us!!! We also want to get out of here. The Hellbringer Duo was famous, and everyone knew them. Seeing such a powerful duo, a ray of hope could be seen in their eyes."
"Sister, we would need a tribe to flourish. They will be perfect. Let's help them.", said Oni.
Glen also agreed and with their leadership, a small number of tribe started their escape.
They were almost halfway to escape. The tribe had a secret passage which none of their enemies knew. Their target was to get there.
But a couple of champion-ranked Magmortar stopped them.
"Oh, see who it is. The Hellbringer Duo. I think today is my lucky day.. HAHAHA!!!", shouted one of them.
None of the other tribes was at champion rank. There were a few king rank Pokemon among them, but that was all.
Instantly, the battle occurred. The Hellbringer Duo were known for their partnership. This also showed in the battle. Oni released its steel warriors. Before, it could only summon 10 of them, but now it could summon almost 50 of them. But this time,
"Oni, only summon a couple of them and make sure that they are the strongest. If you summon all of them, we will be noticed.", said Glen.
Oni agreed and sent out two of them to fight. It also created a steel barrier that shielded both of them.
The fight was very fast, and the result was also very fast. Glen had already reached master rank, so they were able to dispose of both of these Magmortars quickly.
With this, they continued their escape, and they were about 90% done with their journey, when a couple of master rank Magmortars blocked their tribe.
The two master rank Pokemon were glaring at them with menace. Part of their mission was to find the Hellbringer Duo and kill them. They had too much potential. If they were left alive, the leader of the Magmortar felt that the duo would come for them in the future.
Glen had recently ranked up to master rank Pokemon, and Oni was not even a master rank Pokemon. The difference was clear. For the first time in its life, it started to doubt if it would live to see another day.
"Don't worry, sis. We will get through this. I will make sure that they will not hurt you.", said Oni, supporting its sister.
Instantly, it used its self-created move. First of all, both of them had armor that covered all of their bodies with steel. But that was not all. Oni summoned all the steel warriors to fight them, and finally, one of the steel warriors merged with Glen, making it even stronger than before.
All of its steel warriors and Glen attacked the master rank Pokemon. The battle was fierce. With each hit, Glen was absorbing the energy of those master rank Pokemon. Glen knew that it was going to be a long battle. A master rank Pokemon could not be killed quickly.
But Glen had improved its self-created move to a very high level. Now, it was growing continuously. With the defense of Oni's steel warriors and the fighting powers of Glen, they were finally able to beat the two master rank Pokemon.
If this were done in a competition or a tournament, they had just created history. A master rank and a champion rank defeating two master rank Pokemon was something unheard of. But this was war.
By this time, Oni was spent. It had used all of its power to protect its sister, and the steel warriors consumed a lot of stamina even for a champion rank Pokemon.
But they were happy. The path was clear, and 90% of the journey was already completed. All of them started to run towards the secret passage. Oni could now clearly see that place from its eyes.
But at that time, multiple champion rank and pseudo-champion rank Magmortar covered their escape route. There must be around 200 of them. That was a huge number even for a hell rank tribe.
Oni knew at that time that they were done. Even though Glen was a master rank Pokemon, and it was still not tired as Oni, as it was able to absorb the energy from the master rank Pokemon, it could not possibly defeat so many pseudo-champion and champion rank Magmortars.
"Sis, I think this is it. But we will fight to the death. We will never give up."
At that time, Glen smiled and patted Oni's swordy head with its swordy hands.
"Silly little brother. Didn't I tell you that when such a time comes, you will run from this place? I never go back on my word."
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly, a dark color aura started to gather around Glen, and it started to transfer to Oni.
"You must live, my brother. Even though you are not the chosen one, you are the only one who can find it. I have transferred all the knowledge that I have to you. Promise me that you will teach the chosen one about my dark art and also about your steel warriors."
"What the hell are you saying? NO… NO.. You can't do th…. is… "
Slowly, Oni felt that the consciousness was slipping away from it. It tried its best to stay awake and help its sister, but it could not. It fainted on the spot.
###
When Oni regained its consciousness, it opened its eyes wide awake and looked around instantly. It realized that it was in a completely different place. There were burnt buildings and the smell of burnt bodies. There were no fires or destruction. They were inside a lush green forest.
Oni looked around and found out that the Bisharp and the Pawniard that it and its sister wanted to save were working and trying to set up a temporary camp.
"Wait… SISTER!!! What about my sister?", shouted Oni and started to look around. Very soon, a king rank Bisharp came over and said, "Sir Oni, your sister sacrificed itself for us. That is the only reason why we are safe right now."
It looked as if the whole world had become silent. Oni didn't hear what the king rank Bisharp was saying at that time. The only thing it could remember was its sister's last words.
It had vowed to protect its sister, and it had failed miserably.
"NOOOOOO!!! NO, IT CANNOT HAPPEN. LET'S GO BACK. WE CAN SAVE MY SISTER."
Oni beat the sit out of the king rank Bisharp, but the Bisharp didn't block or dodge its attack. It just took it. It knew how much Oni loved its sister, and they had protected its family. If it had to die like this, then it was something that it was proud of.
"Sir Oni, please be civil. You are going to kill Karn.", shouted another king rank Bisharp. It was also sweating from fear, but it had to save its friend.
Only then did Oni realize what it was doing and it stopped. Oni knew that going back was pointless. They didn't know where they were right now, and even he knew that his sister had already died.
It must be a twin thing, but Oni could feel it. It looked at its swordy hands and then realized.
"What the hell? Why am I at king rank and not at champion rank?"
This didn't make sense. It didn't feel that he had sustained any heavy injuries. It was fully healed but…
It sat in a meditative position and then tried to feel its whole body. It felt a seal that was sealing most of its powers. It could already tell that this was its sister doing. It didn't know why its sister had done such a thing, but since this was done by its sister, there must be a reason behind it.
Its sister was much cleverer than itself.
Oni took a couple of hours, but finally it had calmed down. It had finally accepted the reality.
"Where are we? Is the Magmortar tribe still hunting us?", asked Oni to one of the king rank Bisharp.
"No, we used the teleporter. So, we are very far from our tribe or what is left of it."
"What? But how could we use the teleporter? I thought that it was heavily guarded."
Their teleporter had unlocked the second function and now they could teleport anywhere in the realm with a huge cost. But when Oni and Glen were running, they already knew that the teleporter was heavily guarded by the Magmortar tribe. That was why they thought of going through the secret passage.
"Luck was on our side. When we reached the secret passage, the teleporter was right there. We used it to go to a random location, and we reached here."
Oni didn't know why its sister had used the seals on it and where they were. But this was a fresh start. After they did the counting, there were around 900 in number, which was far less compared to the past.
In the past, the tribe boasted around 30000 members.
Even though Oni had accepted the reality of what had happened, it could still not wrap its head around the fact that its sister had just sacrificed itself.
It took Oni a couple of months to get used to being alone. Before, it was always its sister caring for it, but now a whole tribe depended on it. The tribe had already selected it as a leader. It could not just leave them.
After a couple of months, it had found the new goal. After trying to remember what its sister had said in the last moment, it wanted to find the chosen one who could take its tribe to salvation.
This was its goal.
"Where is this place, and how far is it from our tribe? Also, who rules this place?"
"The place is under God Nedes and we are very far from our tribe. It would take us a couple of months to reach our tribe."
"Hmm, let's set up a base there. The followers of the God Nedes will come to us to check. Just act normally and say that we are a very weak tribe. They don't need to know our history."
Flash back end.

At Present,
Oni looked at Axel, and the team moved at night. Even though it had been downgraded to king rank, its senses were still sharp. Yes, Oni was the same leader Bisharp, that Axel had met.
Very soon, a king rank Bisharp stood in front of it without saying anything.
"Report!", said Oni.
"Axel and his team are going to face Hawlucha and Donphan tribe. Both of them are using their full force. Even the leaders of both tribes are going to attack."
There was no expression on Oni's face as if it were the most normal thing.
"Gather all the pseudo-king and king rank. We are going to help Axel and his team."
"Sir, if I may ask, why are we going to such lengths to help a human and his Pokemon. They are too weak for your attention."
"It is because I feel that we have finally found the chosen one."
