EVERGREEN FOREST
A place filled with green vegetation, unique animals and breath taking sites, Evergreen Forest is a place where all things can coexist in peace and hermony, it's known by many but only a few knows how to locate it.

Elan and Mormon found themselves in an open field surrounded by medium tall grass and as they look around they could see different creatures of all shapes and sizes roaming around.
ELAN; How do we find Blake?
MORMON; We don't find Blake, Blake finds us, this is his playground, no knows this place better well apart from my late Uncle.

The two venture out into the forest, then the noise that the creatures were making stopped this made Elan and Mormon to stop.
MORMON; stay alert and be ready for anything.
ELAN; Got it.

One by one three shadows started appearing, one with features resembling a normal man while the two looked like animals of some sort then without warning they attacked, thinking that the real physical bodies will appear, Elan and Mormon found themselves down.
ELAN; it appears that they are using the Shadow strike technique.
MORMON; True, I don't know how to use the technique but you do so I'll need you to fight them off as I look for the physical body.
ELAN; Alright.

Mormon jumped and activated his spirit animal in the process and released massive energy blurst while Elan engaged himself in a fist battle with the shadows .
ZELOUS; Don't forget about me boy.
ELAN; Don't worry, I have the idea.

Using the Shadow strike technique, Elan released his and Zelous' shadow, Zelous took out the animal like shadows while Elan took out the man looking shadow.

The three shadows disappeared and the noise that the creatures were making could be heard again, Mormon relaxed himself and returned to his normal self.
MORMON; it's not over yet.
ELAN; We are ready.

The physical body of the attacker appeared.
?????; What brings you here?
MORMON; This is my home.
?????; After all that time Mormon, why have you choosen to come here.
MORMON; I have nowhere to go, it's nice to see you too, Blake.
BLAKE; Welcome home brother.

The two brothers hugged each other, Elan looked closely at Blake and noticed the different eye colour set, Blake approached Elan and offered him a hand shake.
BLAKE; You must be Elan.
ELAN; Yes.
BLAKE; Well Elan, tell me, who taught you the shadow strike technique as far as I know your father failed to unlock it and it remain the only technique I could beat him with.
ELAN; I learned it by myself.
BLAKE; Brilliant, you have a brilliant one Mormon, my daughter will be delighted to meet you.
ELAN; How did you split yourself into three using the Shadow strike technique when you have only your shadow and your spirit animal's shadow?
BLAKE; Well...
