He sees before him the buizel lying on the ground. “Holy Arceus…” His eyes widen and his mouth forms a small ‘o.’ “I… I did it…” The crowd become baffled, yet cheer for him. This gives Zach a smile. \nBetty rushes out to the center to give the riolu a hug. “Way to go, Zach! I’m so proud of you!”\nEzma appears and floats before him with Lana by her side. “Not bad, Riolu… Not bad. Guess I misjudged you. You do have what it takes to be a guild pokemon.”\nCindy helps up her mate before floating over to the riolu. “I… guess I owe you an apology… Maybe you’re not a runt after all…” \n“What?” Zach spurts. “You admit you’re finally wrong? I’m shocked!”\n“As am I,” says Elle, who is next to appear. “You really showed every pokemon you can do it… You’ve also showed me you’re a better pokemon.”\n“Why are you saying all of this?”\n“Because… I want you back…”\n“What about Gloria?”\n“After what you’ve shown, I think I’m better off with you.” The goodra turns to her with widened eyes. “Come here, Zach!” She zooms over to give him a big hug, to which he accepts with a huge smile.\n“Aw, thank you! I’m glad you’re all-” He opens his eyes to see everyone has disappeared. “H-huh? Where did everyone go?” The riolu looks around and finds he is the only one standing in an empty stadium. “What’s happening?!” Darkness starts to engulf everything around him until he is surrounded by nothing but black. He cannot speak, he cannot scream, he cannot hear, he cannot see. \nZach then opens his eyes; finding himself lying in a hospital bed with the brionne and audino standing over him. “Uh…”\n“Ah, finally awake, I see,” Audrey says. “For a moment, we thought you were dead.” \nZach looks up at the both of them. “W-what happened…? D-did I win…?”\nBetty puts her hand behind her head. “You… passed out… One second before Jay did… So… Jay won by default…”\nZach springs up to a sitting position quickly. His eyelids peeled back as wide as they can be. “W-what?!” He lets out a grunt of pain before glancing to the further side of the clinic where the buizel lies, being congratulated by his mate, children, guild, and other family and friends, including Elle and Gloria. The riolu stares at the scene, frozen with disbelief.\n“You really showed him, Daddy!” shouts Zoe. “You’re the coolest!”\n“Yeah,” adds Junior. “You were like ‘boom, pow!’ And he was like ‘Ah! Kapow!’”\n“Those were impressive moves,” comments Ezie.\n“We’re all glad ‘Daddy’ beat the challenges,” Cindy states. “And really showed the runt riolu what for.” She cuddles him by his side. The rest of the guild agrees.\n“Well,” Ezma begins. “Guess this means you are joining me, Lana, and Cindy for tea at the ‘elites’ table.’”\n“That some high honor, or is it sarcasm?” asks Jay.\n“Guess you can say it’s both…” She manages a smile. The others laugh. “Either way, we’re all proud of you.” \nAudrey closes the curtains and cuts the riolu’s view of the joyous moment. “I’ll be right back. I need to fetch your medicine.” As she leaves through the slit behind her, Zach lies back in the bed. A frown sits upon his face. \n“Zach,” Betty starts. “I know what you’re feeling right now.” \n“Do you, now…?”\n“You gave it your best.” \n“And for what?” the riolu asks. “I failed… I know it’s not the first time, but this was my big chance… and I failed horribly… They were right… I’m not fit to be in a guild…”\n“Look… The important part is you tried! That’s all that matters! Even if you weren’t successful, you stood up and gambled with it, which took guts!” Zach falls silent. “Hey, come on…” Betty nudges his shoulder. “Don’t feel bad. Besides, you don’t need a bright, shiny medal or achievement to show everyone you are amazing.”\n“What am I even going to do?”\n“You’re still part of the circus. You’re still the ‘Rambunctious Riolu.’”\n“Yeah… Thanks, Betty…”\n“I don’t know what else to tell you. You know I’m not your mother, so don’t expect me to say ‘I’m proud of you.’”\n“I don’t… That reminds me… My trial with her is coming up…”\n“So? What does that have to do with anything?”\nHe lets out a sigh. “Nothing… It’s just-”\n“All right, Riolu,” says Audrey, returning with a bottle of medicine. “Time to take your medicine.” She pours some of the maroon liquid into a spoon.\n“Oh Arceus… I hate that medicine…”\n“You know the rules…” She holds the spoon by him. “Open wide!” The audino semi-forces the spoon into his mouth, pushing the liquid into his cheeks. He swallows once she withdraws the utensil from him and sticks out his tongue with a “blech.” This causes Betty to cover her mouth and hide a giggle. “Well, I don’t know what you expect. It’s medicine, not juice.” She places the bottle on the table. “As always, I will be around if you need me.” Audrey turns and leaves again.\n“Well, she’s sure charming,” says Betty, sarcastically. “And you wanted to ask her out on a date?”\n“I know,” Zach tells her. “It was crazy…”\n“Listen, I would love to stick around with you, but I have to get back to the circus. I’ll tell Ringmaster you’ll be out for a while. Then again, I’m sure he knows.” Zach just lets out a murmur before she disappears behind the curtain. The brionne stops and encounters the raichu outside in the lobby. “Ringmaster?!”\n“Hello, Betty,” the raichu responds. “Is Zach awake?”\n“Uh, he is… But the nurse is shooing away visitors right now…”\n“Oh… Well, I was hoping to see him and check if he was all right… Maybe I could come later…” He turns and starts for the door.\n“Actually…” Betty places her hand on his shoulder, stopping him and causing him to face back to her again. “Can I talk to you… privately?”\n“What is this about, Betty?”\n“Just come with me.
