Amethyst Angel Adventures: Colosseum

Amethyst Angel Adventures: Colosseum is the second installment of KhaosOmega's Amethyst Angel Adventures series. Basically a runthrough of Pokemon Colosseum, in this story the Amethyst Angel, Anise Azeat, joins former Team Snagem member Ryo Jordan and a young girl named Jasmine Mazaki on a mission to save the 48 Shadow Pokemon. Nella Jay (a.k.a. Alpha of Team Vexus) doesn't appear in this story, but two girls who would become the Neo Vexus after the original GX group falls do (one of whom, Nella's GD counterpart, is a girl from Anise's past, having kidnapped Kara Izayoi on her 14th birthday). Unlike Pokemon Colosseum, Generation IV Pokemon appear as Anise uses an Infernape against Willie alongside Ryo (whose starter Pokemon, Espeon and Umbreon, are named after the Intentional Talk hosts), as well as a Giratina later on, and Jasmine also happens to be a Trainer. Another notable difference is that Folly and Trudly fail to kidnap Jasmine due to her ability to see Shadow Pokemon in a two-on-one fight ended via a superkick to Folly that causes a gash to appear on his left cheek (Jasmine has on stiletto heel sandals instead of Rui's pink boots due to weather, and her jacket is tied around her waist as well)

Trivia

 * Chapter one of this story reveals, through Ryo, that one week has passed since the end of Amethyst Angel Adventures: 1000
 * Anise nicknamed her Infernape after The Unstoppable Exodia, a five-unit Yu-Gi-Oh! monster capable of instantly winning a Duel once all five pieces are present; both Infernape and the subsequent Giratina (nicknamed Phantova as it's part-Ghost) are Generation IV Pokemon, and Pokemon Colosseum is a Gen. III game.
 * Stacy, an eventual Neo Vexus member, was originally meant to break her right ankle trying to surprise the group while wearing heels, unable to pull the "You're One to Talk" retort as Ryo, the male present at the time, is the one who mentions this possibility; a re-retconning causes Anise to tap into a mysterious 'Bond Energy' entering where the injury was to occur to see where the nearest next girl in the advanced multiple Soul Bond centered on Jet was, which caused Anise to get a view from Stacy's eyes, and when Stacy activated Counterpart Connection to her GX link once the 'Bond Energy link' was established, it was revealed she and XQ second in command Hollie Brazie are technically the same girl.  When Stacy takes the drop meant to cause her originally-planned injury, Anise catches her before she hits the ground.  It is later revealed that Stacy's Cipher Peon heels are clearly her lowest heels, as she possesses multiple pairs of very high platform heels (the highest-platformed of which she wore to crush the amulet controlling Nicole).
 * Stacy's link has since been changed to a girl named Morgan the year behind Jet and the twins (the same year as Storm and Wave) and the Neo Vexus has been removed altogether as Anise gets Stacy and Kara (the latter her teammate Natsume's missing elder sister) to XQ Side Dimension 989 while a Soul Bond between Desiree and Nicole (whose activation accelerates Nella's own as Nicole is basically GD Nella, the light healing Nicole's injured knee when Anise uses her then-unnamed Cipher Kick to "jog her memory") sees the two leave for an XQ-protected dimension.
 * A Ken Harelson line and the finisher of WWE Superstar Randy Orton are also referenced involving Snagem member Wakin (he uses the line, ends up on the recieving end of the RKO, dealt by Jasmine as she was the only member of the group who wasn't in possession of a Snag Machine at the time).  Nascour manages to avoid using the line once when Anise Xaia-Snags his Shadow Metagross, but can't stop himself the second time (when his other Pokemon fall almost all at once) and Jet (who had gotten behind him undetected) levels him with his own Vhozon Chill maneuver (a reverse F5) in response
 * Jet's habit of leaving one of his Super Saiyan forms on is brought up in chapter 3, but this time Jet beats Anise to the punch line concerning it. His Ice Star-induced cross-gender option appears as well via some black-toed silver ballet flats, causing Ryo and Jasmine to make the usual gender mixup at first glance (which Anise sees right through as she recognizes Jet's power level)
 * Anise is revealed, in chapter 3, to have experienced a Zenkai after the battle with the Shadow Queen, somewhat fused with Alpha (she gained a trillion points to her power level; the original plan was a 33% increase, to 4 trillion from 3, but a re-retconning that moved her Nova Legend Goddess ascent to 1000 upped her power level to around 8 quadrillion)
 * Anise has her Amethyst Star Extreme Gear with her (not appearing again until a side installment in her Mobian disguise and not named in Colosseum), which serves as her version of Ryo's bike.
 * Jet's ability of a cyan-flame Star Power activation appears and can be utilized even with an air guitar (as he does while listening to a 34-second-shorter version of (Don't Fear) the Reaper - A Long Day's Night version by Blue Oyster Cult)
 * A mysterious Trainer named X appears, and, originally believed to be Jet due to the Pokemon he's been seen using, is later revealed not to be the XQ captain in a run-in with both Jet and X present; X reveals himself to be Scotty Perkins, Jet's co-leader of Team Onseyawa.
 * A Dragon Smash combo intended for Desiree ends up hitting the missing-for-two-years Kara Izayoi, whom Desiree used as a human shield. Kara reveals that Anise has an identical twin sister, Adrienne, while revealing that she's the older sister of the Amethyst Angel's Rune Angel teammate Natsume - while Desiree, eventual Neo Vexus leader, was unconscious after Jasmine and Kara pulled off an X-Mark combo attack; Anise promptly opens a portal to XQ Side Dimension 989 so Kara can't be kidnapped again, which causes Desiree to take Stacy hostage instead. The hostage plan is later removed outright.
 * Anise discovers that Kara's kidnapping on her fourteenth birthday (the day before Anise's) was ordered by a then-Cipher Peon Alpha (however, Nicole committed the act under an Imperius Curse emitting from an amulet she wore, with its destruction by Stacy leading to the force barriers present in the current Arc's amulets controlling Team Vexus).  It is later revealed that Alpha was Imperiused herself when she initially gave Nicole the mission (Nicole reveals it rather tearfully in Final Downfall: Natsume's Mission to the now-18 pearl-pink-haired girl, with a wording that causes Desiree to make a realization that thoroughly shocks her). The removal of the Neo Vexus later on completely removes the Final Downfall series.
 * Anise assumed in chapter 1 of Amethyst Beginnings (the new prequel to the official Amethyst Angel Adventures series) that both amulets were created by the same Dark Vector agent. They in fact are, by the operative she first learned of in her previous op under the alias 'D60'.
 * Venus indirectly reveals herself as the GD counterpart to Beta of Team Vexus when she mentions the possibility of a spy in the Under having amazingly high speed (Beta would know, due to many previous encounters with Anise); her voice, however, reminds Anise of another Team Vexus girl, Epsilon.
 * Anise had wiped out Epsilon's amulet leading to the discovery of the group who made them, along with her belief that them and the one Stacy destroyed the day of Kara's disappearance were made by the same person (later revealed to be Doven 'D60' Malfoy).
 * Anise Snags Venus' Shadow Suicune without the Legendary Pokemon even leaving its Poke Ball because the Snag Ball hits the regular Poke Ball button-first on the other Ball's button.  She later does this to Nascour to obtain his Metagross, and Jasmine subsequently makes the same move to snag Evice's Shadow Tyranitar (Anise reveals this technique to be Xaia-Snagging in XD)
 * The fact X was using some of Jet's Pokemon (via Ryo tapping into X's Psycho Lines) was due to possessing one of Jet's Zeos Units
 * Near the end of the mission, a second mystery trainer, named Y, assists by Snagging the Shadow Pokemon confirmed to be post-main story Snags (after Rosso, Bluno, and Verde have their Shadow Pokemon Snagged in a triple threat of one-on-ones in Phenac - the main story only allows one to be Snagged at the point this happens) (Y also has a Zeos Unit).  Anise recognizes Y by voice to be agent 08 as Scotty left his communicator's speaker mode on.
 * The final chapter, showing the final group purification of the Shadow Pokemon, also details the beginning briefing for the next Amethyst Angel Adventures installment: Falcon's Shadow.
 * Evice tries to escape from Realgam Tower via a helicopter, but the Sacred Fire attack that destroys it before the escape can occur is from one of Jet's Ho-oh, nicknamed Starblaze.
 * Anise, four missions later (during Johto League Angel), has a fateful encounter with Ryo and Jasmine in Johto, and later she suddenly encounters what eventually becomes her ultimate weapon in terms of Pokemon Battling, a Shiny Arceus she nicknames Zelixevon, or Z for short (Z is from the KSK system, sent to Anise's location after the redhead uses her scouter to watch the Pokemon Hunter pursuing it fall for an ambush; nine years later, during Diamond Coordinator, Anise meets both parties involved in her acquiring Z, and relieves the Pokemon Hunter of a pair of extreme heels that had been locked on with locks bewitched so only Anise could unlock them as a result of Anise's capture of Z and the ambush)
