With Gallade's Teleport, the group traveled back to the entrance only to be greeted by a horrible sight.

"What the in the name of Gold Roger happened here?" Kimiko said to herself as she , Empoleon, Toriko and Coco exited the cave only to see the bodies of numerous people sprawled everywhere.

"Tina! Are you all right?" Kimiko asked as he saw Tina with Kruppoh sitting on her shoulder.

"I-I'm okay, but them..." Tina said as she looked at the bodies.

"The bandits and assassins that had their eyes on the Puffer Whale" Coco said

"Yep. I bet they tried to take the Puffer Whales from that thing and were attacked." Toriko commented

"What a terrible thing" Coco muttered

"A big mistake..." Kimiko said.

"Emp..." Her partner adds.

KAW! KAW!

" Kiss!" The trainer said.

"You came to get me?" Coco asks.

Everybody looked up to see Kiss landing in front of them.

"Eh? An Emperor Crow? Amazing." Tina said. Kruppoh flapped its wings as it greeted Kiss who returned its greeting.

"Ah the rescue choppers are here." Tina said as the group saw some choppers coming towards them

"Well, I hope you'll excuse me. I'm not good with crowds, you see." Coco said as he hopped onto Kiss's back. "Kimiko, Empoleon, thank you," he said, getting her attention, "I'm very glad to have met you."

"M-Me too! I've learned a lot. Thank you so much! I hope we'll see each other again real soon!" Kimiko smiled.

"Empol!

"See ya, Toriko... I've got a feeling we'll meet again soon." Coco said as he left

"Yeah. we'll see." Toriko replied.

-------------

Meanwhile as an IGO meeting....

"Alright, how bad were we hit?" A man with a flamboyant outfit asks.

"Biotopes 4, 5, and 8 were all attacked. The latter was especially severe." A brunette male with glasses said as a screen showed what happened.

"The Rainbow Fruit Tree was stripped of the harvest, and the Troll Kongs were all but wiped out."

Another man adds to what happened. "We confiscated a reporter's PC and camera, and came across a certain piece of footage." As the strange being from the Puffer Whale incident appeared.

"A new GT Robot." Uumen said. "So they finally make a move. We have to act. We need Toriko, Coco, Sani, and Zebra."

"What? But sir..." One man objected. "He's finally in prison. You want him out?!"

"We don't have a choice, not if those people are the enemy. Anything else of note?"

"Actually, yes. In the past month, Toriko had brought a new companion to his recent food hunts, a talented Beast Tamer and chef, Kimiko of Jupiter."

"Jupiter?........!!! You mean...?" Uumen asked.

"Yes, the first princess of the Royal Jupiter Family of the Neo Silver Millenium Alliance. She chose to give the throne to her brother, but she'll be a great asset. I contacted her prior and she said she'll agree to help only if we do not blab of her creatures to the public as she is protective of them." Wyne said.

"We'll agree to the conditions, if it means getting possible help from the Alliance if things get ugly...." Uumen said.

--------
Kimiko was currently in a chopper with Toriko and Johannes as she switched out her Pokemon on a PC. She kept Steelix and got Houndour, Dragonair, Blissey, and Hydrapple. Toriko quickly made a burger with all of his Devil Snake meat, though it was too big for a normal person to even take a bite out.

To Kimiko and Empoleon's surprise, he somehow unhinged his own jaw to eat it in one bite.

'He never stops eating! We just had puffer fish, now he's eating burgers! ' She thought.

"YUMM" Toriko exclaimed

"Speaking of good food, how was the Puffer Whale?" Johannes asked as he was the one that picked the three of them up.

"It had an impact, but that's really about it." Toriko explained, "Within the vastness of the sea, there are still lots of ingredients that I've never eaten. I can't choose my Fish Course too hastily."

"I see. But the creature that IGO is requesting that you capture this time is-" Johannes said

"The Regal Mammoth" Toriko finished, "or more specifically the Jewel Meat. I've got high hopes for that"

"Sure is exciting, isn't it, Toriko?" Kimiko asked

"You do know, right, that the Regal Mammoth is in the 1st Biotope?" Toriko asked.

"Yes. It's very prosperous as a site for gourmet research, and it's even a famous sighseeing destination. But there's more to it. RIGHT?.." She said.

"The IGO's largest garden, the 1st Biotope, is a single 500,000 square kilometer island." Johannes explained

"Only a small portion of it is open for sightseeing. Even the IGO doesn't have a firm understanding of the island. It's an island encircled by a mountain range, and several unique ecosystems have been set up so that selectively bred and cloned creatures can be released there for research."

"Yet another tough trip." Kimiko shrugged.

"From here we'll head into the inner-garden of the 1st Biotope" Johannes explained as he showed them the way.

"Kimiko, Empoleon, stay close to me, okay" Toriko said.

"Okay" the four then entered.

The trainer was surprised at the place, there were so many foodstuffs being made around them.

"So this is the gourmet research laboratory!" she said

"We reproduce 30% of the worlds gourmet ingredients here" Johannes explained.

"There are ingredients that I've never seen here before!" Kimiko smiled.

"Selective breeding is ordinary done in larger gardens, there's even research that can't go in public"

" You're still doing that? Geez, rich folks sure have some weird hobbies," Toriko said as Kimiko and Empoleon felt uneasy.

"The chief is in the basement il be taking my leave here"

Johannes said as the elevator door closed.

"What kind of person is the chief? " Kimiko asked

"He's just a regular old drunk" Toriko said " but is strong. In fact, after the president and Vice President, he's the number 3 guy. "

"Number 3?" Kimiko said impressed.

Then the elevator opened and an octopus was in a glass case.

"Whoa, what is this place?" Kimiko looked around gaining a frown. "And what are these creatures?" she asked as she looked at all of the creatures in the cages.

"They're clones of extinct species and new species that they created by cross breeding, chain animals" Toriko said

"Chain animals?"

"Animals that are restraint by shackles, gourmet research is purported as a great just cause but this place has to be kept top secret as it is ethically questionable." Toriko explained then saw a giant creature behind Kimiko.

Muscle Crab (Mammal Beast- Crustacean Beast Mixed Breed)- Capture Level 3

The Muscle Crab lived up to its name it's basically a large crab that is very muscular.

" Kimiko!" Toriko shouted

"A muscle crab has escaped!" A scientist screamed as the others scrambled.

It looked like it was about to attack but then.....

Kimiko glared at it making it pause and sweat in fear.

"Huh?" Toriko blinked as the crab went back to its cage in a hurry. 'This happened before with that Zombie guy. I actually felt a chill down my spine and it wasn't even directed at me...what did Kimiko do?'

"Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on it?!" a man with a scar and screws in his head reminded an employee

"My dearest apologies" the employee apologized

"Geez, every last one of these guys" the man said as he took a drink out of a bottle.

"Already drinking, are you?" Toriko said, "Chief Mansam?"

"Did you just call me handsome?" he asked

"No, I didn't!" Toriko yelled

"This man is the Chief?!" Kimiko said "ugh, he smells like liquor"

Even Empoleon grimaced from the scent.

"Welcome...no welcome back" mansam said

"Welcome back?" Kimiko said.

" so? What's up this time?" Toriko said " it's not just the regal mammoth,is it?"

"The Bishokukai has reconvened" Mansam said seriously.

"The Bishokukai?" Toriko said making a face. So that thing was sent by the Bishokukai." Toriko said

"Yes, what you saw was their new GT Robo"

"Um" Kimiko asked "What are the Bishokukai?"

"They're an organization whose aim is to control all of the ingredients in the Gourmet Age. They'll use any means necessary to get their hands on them. And the Bishokukai's next goal's most likely going to be, the Regal Mammoth." Mansam explained

"So basically, we've gotta capture it before they do?" Toriko asked.

Then cheering was heard from behind the door they were standing in front of.

"I almost forgot... It's the main event!"

"What main event?" Kimiko asked

Cheering was heard throughout the colosseum as they saw the beasts roar in the glass dome.

"Ooh, looks like we made it. They're still doing the opening ceremonies." Mansam said as the three entered the Colosseum.

"What is this place?" Kimiko asked, not liking what she was seeing.

"The Gourmet Colosseum. It's an area where wild beasts do battle in order to determine their fighting strength and capture levels. But it's really more of a playground for the rich, the powerful, and the VIPs of the IGO's member nations to enjoy themselves" Toriko explained, "They can place bets here, too. The GDP of an average country changes hands here within one day. This place is so stimulating that there are even Prime Ministers from the IGO here"

The young chef and Empoleon frowned at this. It was one thing to do Pokemon Leagues, but at least it was humane, as they know when to stop and how to end a fight quickly. Forcing creatures to fight for entertainment was sick. She could see why her folks are not fond of some the current world leaders, but said some are tame compared to the fallen Celestial Dragons of bygone eras.

"But this is necessary for the organization as well" Mansam said, "We part these rich guys with a bunch of their money during the battles, and pass it along to poorer countries whose people are suffering from starvation. The IGO was once a department of the United Nations, but it became independent because of high demand for gourmet ingredients. Now we're an international organization with 360 member-nations." the crowd cheering brought them out of their conversations to see the beaten Galala Crocodile and the victorious Troll Kong.

"The winner is the Troll Kong!" the announcer said

"But there is such a sharp division between the rich and poor in those countries, that we've had to take drastic measures such as these" Mansam explained

"Well anyhow, I haven't got any interest in these battles." Toriko said as he walked away, Kimiko and Empoleon following right behind him.

"I agree. I don't like this at all." Kimiko put her two cents in.

"Don't say that!" Mansam said, "There are Prime Ministers here that have even skipped out on their summit to come see today's incredible main event!" the comment got the group's attention.

-----------------

"And now, it's time for today's main event, and the contenders are entering the ring!" the announcer said as Chief Mansam took another swig of alcohol as they all got seats. Kimiko and Empoleon sat between Mansam and Toriko.

"Oh, it's starting!"

"Entering through the first gate, it's the rampaging monster from the Northern continent, Elephantsaurus!" a gigantic green reptilian mammoth with a long neck stepped out and roared......

Elephantsaurus (reptile beast)- Capture Level 17

"And from the second gate, we have the amphibious demon, Gauchi!" a gigantic tiger-like walrus roared

Gauchi (mammal beast) Capture Level 13

"Whoa, and now a real top dog is making its way to the stage. From the third gate enters... the Silverback!"

Silverback (Mammal Beast)- Capture Level 10

"Making its entrance from the fourth gate, is the god of death who's swooped down from the skies, the mysterious bird, Gerold!" A gigantic orange bird with multiple heads entered

"This is nuts..." Kimiko whispered.

"The real surprise has yet to come. The main attractions for today are the legendary beasts waiting behind the fifth and sixth gates!" Mansam said

"Sorry to keep you waiting. From the fifth gate, the strongest and most powerful of the wolves, born in ancient times, the Battlewolf!" the crowd cheered.

" Awesome! Just as in the legendary " tragedy of the Death Gore," the battlewolf?!" Toriko said

" What?!" Kimiko whispered as she remembered hearing of this story.

'The legend of the Battlewolf, also known as the tragedy of the Death Gore. In ancient times, a demon was born into this world with a body length of 50 meters wide and a weight of about 1,000 tons. The herbivorous beast was known as the Deathgore. They were herbivorous Devils that, in herds, consumed all greenery, mowing down all of Earth's plant life. They left a land of death in their wake. The footsteps of the Deathgore were truly the countdown to a species extinction. After eating one continent into oblivion, they sets their sights on the worlds largest continent...a green paradise. But they never consumed one blade of grass in that wonderland. When the demons tried to claim that land, they were completely wiped out by one solitary creature......The Battlewolf ' Kimiko thought in wonder.

"From the fifth gate struts out a legend. The largest and most powerful of the wolves. Born in ancient times, the king of a continent, the Battlewolf makes its appearance!" the gigantic wolf roared

Battlewolf (mammal beast)- Capture Level Immeasurable

"So that's the Battlewolf. It might as well qualify as a legendary Pokemon!" Kimiko whispered gazing at the animal and Empoleon nodded in agreement.

"We were able to find some Battlewolf cells in a Deathgore fossil. That one's a clone constructed from those cells. Length, 18 meters. Weight, 11 tons. It's behavior and lifestyle are still largely a mystery, but the must be the largest class of Battlewolf." Mansam said

Suddenly, Kimiko's Houndour came out and barked.

"Houndour?" Kimiko asked.

"Well, if nothing else, I guess wolves call upon other canines. Look at the others" Toriko said, all of the other beasts hadn't moved since the Battlewolf entered the arena. "They're all so scared that they can't move."

"The most popular is the Battlewolf. The runner up is the legendary Demon Devil Snake." Mansam said before getting a message.

"The one Steelix took down?" Toriko said to himself.

"Toriko, we've got a bit of a problem." Chief Mansam said

"To-Toriko!" the woman that was talking to Mansam yelled, "Is he there? What should I do! Oooh, my happiness is reaching the max!" once she said that a smoke started to enter the arena

"Too much Battle Fragrance is being released!" Mansam exclaimed

"What's Battle Fragrance?" Komatsu ask

"It's the essence of the plant that blooms in the land of unending strife, Battle Island, the Battle Flower. Its smell affects an animal's central nervous system and manifests a heightened state of excitement withing them" Toriko explained

"The wild beast trainer, Rin, uses it under managerial supervision. It's vital for the Colosseum to have, but this much is gonna pose a problem. It's really gonna put them on edge" Kimiko and her Pokemon watched as all of the beasts attacked the Battlewolf. The Battlewolf surprisingly not fighting back, but only trying to get the beasts to let go.

Houndour then gained a panicked look tugging at Kimiko's shirt, and pointing to the Battlewolf.

Kimiko got a good look, and tensed.

"Something's wrong. " She said getting Toriko's and Mansam's attention.

"What?" Toriko asked

"The Battlewolf isn't fighting, it's just trying to get away, and it's breathing heavily even though the fight just started." Kimiko said as Toriko's eyes widened at the statement as he looked closely at the Battlewolf. "And....it looks a little round in the middle..." as they realized the problem.

"Hey, is the Battlewolf a female?" Toriko and Kimiko asked at the same time as they looked at Mansam.

"Uh, yeah, it is. So?" Kimiko and Toriko's eyes widened.

Before Mansam knew it, Kimiko and Toriko were in the arena! Toriko had delivered a kugi punch to the Gauchi while Kimiko had Steelix tackle the Silverback. Empoleon and Houndour stood by her side.

"Sorry. I just need you to quiet down a bit." Toriko said.

The crowd cheered as they saw the Bishokuya Heavenly King Toriko as well as his female friend in the arena.

"Whoa it's Toriko!"

"He's part of the match too?"

"What about that large rock snake thing? Is it a new species?"

"It looks like its made of crystal!"

"It seems to be listening to that young lady! She had a strange penguin and dog too!"

" Feels like a barbaric stage to be honest..." Kimiko said

"It sure has been a while since I've stood here." Toriko said as he faced the Battlewolf. "Yo, legendary champion"

Kimiko turned to the giant wolf with a smile as Houndour bowed before the Battlewolf. "Don't worry. We're here to help you."

------------------

Kimiko looked over at the mighty wolf as she gives a gentle smile. Ignoring the people around, she speaks, "Toriko. Is our hunch right?"

"A slight change in her pheromones, no doubt about it, she's pregnant. But how can a clone get pregnant without a mate?" He said. Then the Growlrus came back mad, only for Toriko to scare it with intimidation, as Kimiko used some of her Conquerer's Haki too, making the beasts back off.

Only the Battlewolf did not react.

"She didn't flinch from us. And there is no desire to fight in her eyes. It's as we thought." Toriko said.

Then...........the Battlewolf fell exhausted from the pain.

"Ah!" Kimiko rushed to the Battlewolf and got Blissey out. "Toriko! I'll help her! I know what to do!"

While the wolf was about to snarl again, it saw Kimiko's worried face as Houndour bowed and pleaded. "Please, I don't wish to harm you. I want to make sure you and the baby are alright. Please trust me."

After looking at the chef for a few seconds, the Battlewolf rested her head as if accepting her help. "Alright, Steelix, put a Rock Tomb around us so she can have privacy during birth, and then help Toriko and Empoleon keep the other beasts away. Blissey, Houndour, you'll be helping me."

Her Pokemon nodded and did so.

"Alright, let's get to work."

Toriko was impressed with how the young chef handled the situation, then he turned to Mansam. "Chief! Stop the match! The Battlewolf is in no condition to fight! Tell Rin to shut off the Battle Fragrance now!"

As things raged on, after what felt like an eternity, their efforts paid off.

"Congratulations, it's a healthy boy." Kimiko said as the mother showered her pup in kisses.

As Toriko destroyed the dome, making the spectators run in fear of the beasts running loose, the Rock Tomb fell down and Kimiko and her Pokemon walked back to let the mother and new pup have their moment.

"Welcome to the Gourmet Age, and great job helping her, Kimiko." Toriko said to Y/N.

"I'm just glad I could." She said.

"We got trouble! The Demon Devil Python is loose!" Rin said as the beast broke out. It went on a rampage, chasing the other beasts as they tried to get away.

The mama Battlewolf stood up with a snarl.

"Wait, you can't! You just gave birth! You have to rest!" The trainer said, worried for her.

But the Battlewolf looked back as if conveying a message.

"Alright." She said staying by the pup's side.

Before she knew it, the mama Battlewolf took off in a blinding speed, destroying the Demon Devil Python.

It was astonishing to see her power up close.

But as the pup ran to his mother in joy......

A shocking event happened.

A blast from somewhere shot at the mother Battle Wolf..................

Only...............

She didn't get hit..............

No.......

Kimiko, in a crazy speed with her Observation pushed her out of the way and got grazed on the back!

It was not enough to be fatal, but it still hurt!

Her Pokemon rushed to Kimiko in frenzied concern, and the mother Battle Wolf and her pup were shocked by her selfless act.

"HAHAHA! How stupid! Getting in my way like that!" A green GT Robot cackled. "If she was an animal, I wouldn't turn her into a meal. Peh!"

Although Kimiko's Pokemon, especially Empoleon, were furious, they sensed an intense anger from someone else........

Toriko............

There were no words to describe how LIVID he looked.

--------------------------

I added a bit of a twist here, so yes, the mama wolf is alive, but Kimiko's injured.

Plz comment!
