Captured Cabbage was running. This was strange. I grab her pokebelt and deliver to Luke. Flygon was tired so i could only travel very fast via Sceptile. I climb Sceptile's back and order him: "Sceptile go! Forward!" We went after Cabbage to see where she was. "Cabbage? Where are you?" I was worried. Sceptile senses something. If Cabbage is alone with no pokemon then she is in a big peril. Then the bushes start to shake. I then realized what is going on. "Oh i'm so screwed!" I quick return Sceptile, order Pichu, Sneasel and Lucario to return. With Flygon tired i have only 2 pokemon to fight. Finally i see the figures getting out from the bushes. Were Team Plasma Grunts with in the command the Shadow Triad. I quickly sent out Blaziken and Sceptile. All of them sent out a group of Muk, Abomasnow and Crobat. Sceptile and Blaziken were completely beaten up. I retrieve them. Team Plasma surround me and grab my arms and legs. They tie me up so i can't move and they shut my mouth so i can't ask for help. They also covered my eyes with a scarf. The Rainbow wing was safe on the camp, but i can't say the same about me. I heard them: "Do you think boss will be happy with our work?" Asked one. "Of course! He will pay us more after we deliver him the person he wanted." Said the other. "First of all, boss will take the information from him, and second he will do what he wants with him." Said other one. "I hope that Lucario and the others can warn everybody in the camp" I thought. I can't resist. I was tied up. Now it remains to the fate decide everything. Luckily to me, Sneasel took Flygon's pokeball. Before i couldn't see no more or move myself, my hat fell of from my head. Pokemon: Spoiler:

A Proud Gold Member Shrouded Within I have to keep running. I have to run. I must run and get away from them. I have to run. But wait, do I have to run? Why do I have to run away from the people that have become my allies? "It doesn't matter." That voice sounded hollow. My feet won't stop but I am free to talk. "Who's there?" "It doesn't matter. They don't matter. Get away from them. Only then will you live." As my feet continue to burn as I run, I feel that something is trying to take over me. I don't know what it is though. "Why you little-" And then just like that, my mouth closes up. I try moving it but my jaw won't budge. I try using my hands to open my mouth up but it's like someone glued them. "Cabbage? Where are you?" That voice. It's Gelius. I have to- "Get away unless you want to suffer the consequences." No. I have to go follow him. That boy keeps getting into trouble... But he doesn't matter. Nothing matters. I must keep running. I must keep going. I have to run. I hear a muffled scream. I just hope it isn't Gelius... "They are none of your concern. You shall live." My feet pound hard on the ground as I run. I run and I run to who knows where. Just when I feel like a ton I hear another voice. "Cabbage!" That's Luke. Luke, I'm here, I'm here. I think the words I cannot say at all. I want to scream, I need to do something, I just have to... And just like that I stopped myself from running. I see Luke for just a few seconds before my feet carry me again. Luke! Help me! But with that, I chant a single line over and over in my head: Stop running and go with them. I want to stop but I go. "You will leave them. You will obey." I realize the voice is in my head. It's trying to take over me. I already feel light like a sheet of paper, useless. Yet I know what I want. "Cabbage, I'm sorry. I didn't know it meant anything to you." I know you didn't. How were you suppose to know? Luke! I have to stop now. I can't let this thing control me. I can't let it. I need to open my mouth. He shouts my name once more. I need to open my mouth. But how? I'm not in control, I have no control over me. But this is my body. With all my might, I force myself to go another direction but I fail. Then I hear a river and an idea hits me. "Don't you even think about it pathetic human." If I could, I would have smiled and smirked. Finally gaining some control, I steer my body and let it fall to the water. As I sink in, my mouth opens by itself. With that, I swim up and force the only words I can think of: "Luke!" Sure I sounded like a strangled cat but at least I got to say something. This river is awfully fast... "I gave you a choice human," echoes the voice. "You've left me with no choice." That's where I black out. |

A Proud Gold Member Zero Escape I open my eyes and find myself standing. But how? Last time I checked, I was in a lake drowning and screaming for... "It's going to be fine." Screaming for Luke. "I'm fine." But something isn't right. He doesn't respond back. He's looking at someone; me. It's my body alright. She's wet and has pale blue lips, and her eyes are shut closed. Her skin too pale for normal and her hair is in one straight position. But if I'm here, then who's in there.... I see Cabbage wake up. Except I know better. That girl is not me. "Luke! Watch out!" But of course he doesn't hear me. He carries my body and I don't exist. Just like my nightmare. Then, all of a sudden, she cranes up and her eyes that are mine open up. She looks all around her until she meets Luke. I hold my breath for the worst, yet I can't close my eyes. Then she slips from him and starts using my elbow to hit Luke on the side. Once he's down, she starts strangling him with my fingers. No no no. This cannot... I throw myself on top of Cabbage and I pass right through her. She still strangling him but her grip loosened as she feels me go through. I hope that moment is enough. |

A Proud Gold Member The Great Distortion As I move away, Lucario comes to Luke's aid and pushes Cabbage to the ground, thus letting Luke to breath in again. "That... Wasn't... Cabbage." I put my hand on his shoulder which he does not feel, but I do it anyway. Then I can't help but roll my eyes and laugh. "Course it wasn't me you silly guy!" I laugh like nothing ever happened; I laugh like I just didn't get possessed and strangled my ally. I laugh like the nightmares never existed, because of course they didn't exist. They didn't exist if Luke is alright. It seems that they talk telepathically but this time I can hear them, mainly because I'm just a spirit. "So who was she?" I'm tempted to punch Lucario but I know it's wasted energy. Then he pushes a paw on Cabbage's back. "You just don't know what to expect in Lethia, do you?" "True to that Lucario." I highly doubt anyone heard me, but it's true; yesterday seemed like a lifetime ago, and today is no exception. Luke smiles, although it looks a bit forced. "Alright, I've gotten rid of whatever the hell was inside her, now she just has to regain consciousness and she should be okay." I sigh in relief as Lucario spoke and a deep, dark shadow crawls out my body. Definitely creepy. Then the shadow speaks to me: "You may have won, but I will always be there with you, waiting to strike. Don't mess with things beyond your hold." Before I respond, I watch Lucario step away from my body and Luke just watches. "What is it?" Obviously I have the same question, but the shadow isn't amused. "Foolish human. He doesn't know who's he messing with." "Oh shut up. Don't hate that he does know who he's dealing with. Plus, he's too tough to be scared. Not a fat chance." "That's what you think. Remember that people aren't what they always seem to be. Mark my words, he will abandon you and you will be alone in death while he lives." I just laugh. "Trying to taunt me munch? With what? I have no body to weaken me down." "Rue this day human. I will come for you and your boyfriend." Before I can counter the last part, I feel heavy and fall down fast. ****************** I groan as I open my eyes. My back is killing me, probably from that push I got and the pressure of the paw. "... a tournament. I promise." I stir when I hear Luke's voice. I shake my head as I got up. Lucario stays in position as Luke just stands there and watches me. I can't read his expression nor eyes, but I can tell a shock is there, even though he doesn't flinch. Still, I'm glad shadow thing was banished from my body. "Don't worry guys, it's me alright, not some possessed shadow. By the way, where did I drop my pokebelt?" Luke gives me a cautious laugh. I don't blame him for that. If one moment someone tried to strangle me and the next they're back to normal, I'd be weird around them too. "Anyway, we should head back, right? The others might start to wonder around..." I lead the way and Lucario creates a barrier between me and Luke. I don't disagree actually, because I find it safer too. At least I know a pokemon can stop me while being possessed... I should push the thoughts. No point in thinking pessimistic. As we walk, something up ahead catches my eye. At first it's just a blunt object but as I get closer, I see a hat. A hat that belongs to one person. I pick it up and hold it in my arms... "Someone came and took Gelius." |

Family meeting "This is the boy you wanted boss." said one grunt. "Great. I will pay you more. Now put him in the cell with the other boy!" This voice. Was Ghetgis, my uncle. I was thrown against a wall. They take out the scarf from my eyes. When i could see, i saw Silver, beaten up. What did they do to him? They also let me talk, and after letting me talk, my uncle comes. "Where is the Silver and Rainbow Wing?" He asks. "I'll never tell you!" I said. "I know you will destroy a lot of lives of pokemon and people!" "You know what surprises me? The fact that the one of the strongest trainers in Jhoto, was captured. You were kidnapped, and your friend did not notice... Maybe they don't care about you..." He was going to finish but i interrupt. "They care about me!" I yelled. "You disgrace me... You don't mean nothing... Nobody cares about you..."Once again, Ghetgis is interrupted, but this time by Silver. "How are you capable treating like that a member of your family?!" Silver said. "Even my father that is the leader of the team Rocket does not treat me like that!" "Enough! What i did said if you open that stupid mouth? Electivire Thunder on the kid!" Ghetgis said. Electivire shocked Silver with no-stop by 20 seconds. I could see him suffer. Silver was in the point to faint. "Stop it! Leave Silver alone! It's me you want... So go on! Kill me if you want. But i know that i'm not a kid that everyone hates! You don't deserve that i call you uncle. You are an horrible man." I said. Ghetgis leaves. He has no intention to kill me. I whisper to Silver: "Do not worry, i will find a way to get out from here." Pokemon: Spoiler:

A Proud Gold Member Walking Dead Everything happened so quickly. Luke just whistled for an Absol to come and he and Lucario climbed on the pokemon. "Will you be okay on your own? I'm going to go tell everyone that Gelius has gotten everyone in deep sh** again." I shrug my shoulders without meaning to and then he's gone. I'm pretty sure he's happy that he gets to leave me. At least he knows one cause of death won't be because of me. I sigh. I might as well... My eyes widen open. That's not good. I smack myself on the forehead. I can't believe I could drop my pokebelt. Now how am I supposed to get back now? With no pokemon on me, I'm pretty vulnerable right now. I need my pokemon. But where can it be? Still though, what time is it since everyone got up? Well I'm pretty sure Shadaon is still asleep, and so is Morty, but the point is that too much has happened in so little time. Me singing, running, being possessed, nearly killing Luke, and now Gelius kidnapped. Just great. I groan as I really don't know what to do. Without any pokemon, I highly doubt I will be much of a use. I hope that my belt is still at camp. With that, I observe the area, gripping on to Gelius's hat for some reason. In the bush to my right, I see something white. I get closer and see the gag. Maybe the muffled scream from earlier was from him. Who knows? But that's when I hear the bush to my left rustle. |

Perfect Escape plan Two hours in a cell and i finally did it. I created the perfect escape plan. "Silver are you ready?" I whispered. "Totally." He said. "Oh mister guard! We have a pokeball with a pokemon inside!" The guard turned around. "Kids... You have no escape possibilities..." These goons are dumb. I punched his face. Silver then kicked him when he was on the ground. I take his Raticate and his Delibird. I give Delibird to Silver. "We will need pokemon to fight." I said. I also took the key card. "Silver go look for your pokemon and your things. I go look for mine. We meet each other at the entrance." We split up like the plan. I go look on the storage room. I got my Pokegear, Pokeradar, Pokedex, Pokemon and my bag. As well as my 2 notebooks. Finally got my adventure notebook. It's where i write my adventures. Now i'm all ready to meet with Silver. I found his things in exception of the Pokegear. Luckily the pokedex is still working. I went to where Silver was. I found him. I gave his things back. "Where is your pokegear?" I ask. "They destroyed it, so i can't be localized." He said. I was about to leave when i find a room. Ghetgis office in fact. Nobody was there, so i enter. Lots of pokeballs that he stole were deposited here. I decide to take one, Electivire and i look on their plan. Shadow Lugia and Arceus were part of the plan. They plan to wake them up on Gaia's Heart. Well now i know the final key of their plan i can anticipate myself. I leave that base (With the Raticate and Electivire i stole from those thugs.). I ride on Sceptile, that was beaten up and tired, as well as me and Silver. Silver rides Rhyperior. "Now is a question of time and luck if we find the others." I hope to find them before they leave the camp. I wonder if Sneasel and the others had already warned them? Pokemon: Spoiler:

([Sorry, I had to come up with a few herbs and plants to add to the book Shadoan was going to hand over to Morty. Plus I had to come up with something else for us to do when we woke up. Which seems to be now.])
Ether Woods Camp As Shadoan woke up and stretched his arms, Morty asked for his journal on Lethia's Plants. Shadoan Passes his Spring Journal to him as he looked around. Noticing Gelius was gone, Cabbage explaining he was kidnapped and Luke acting more agitated. Shadoan sighed as he glanced over at Irek who was brewing a bowl of coffee. "Irek, how long have the been at this?" "About an hour more or less." "And Gelius?" "Light claims Team Plasma. He tried to tail them though they were difficult to spot, he came back with nothing to report." Luke calls for Kanade and hops onto his back; "Will you be okay on your own? I'm going to go tell everyone that Gelius has gotten everyone in deep sh** again." As he dashes off, Shadoan squints his eyes and sighs a deep heavy breath. "We may need to cut Gelius if he continues to get into trouble like this." Irek punched his shoulder with a grin. "He's still inexperienced. Letting him go out there on his own is more or less sending a lamb to slaughter." Shadoan nodded as he pours a portion of the coffee into a cup and drinks it while he passes the bowl back for Irek to take a sip. The green Pikachu passes the bowl to the rest of Shadoan's Team as he puts the tent he setup away quickly. "Light, Were going to have a busy day today. I want you to tail Luke and follow him. Were going to move out in a few minutes, use your sense of smell to find me and lead him back to us when he's finished." The umbreon nodded as he dashed off into the woods after Luke. Shadoan hears Cabbage scream a muffled scream of panic, walking over to her, he ask's what's wrong until they hear the bush rustle near them.

The dash Sceptile was pounding the ground while running. But he was tired. Right half the way. "I can't handle this." Said Silver. "I'm going flying with Honchkrow. Send Flygon and lets go." He retrieved Rhyperior. "I can't. The others are in safety. Only with me i have: Blaziken, Sceptile, and the Raticate and Electivire we took from that base. I can ride Blaziken also but is hard." Anyway, i retrieve Sceptile and summon Blaziken. I climb to his shoulder. Silver grabs Honchkrow's feet claws and flew away. Now i'm all alone! "Blaziken we have a long way!" We went forward. Someone was calling me to my pokegear. Was Gold. "Hey Gold!" "Gelius where are you?" He asked. I could hear him eating and crunching the Doritos. "I was kidnapped but i escaped. Silver is going right away to where you are. Did you saw a Sneasel, a Pichu, a Lucario and a Flygon?" "Yup." He said. "Send Flygon to look for me." I said. "What will you give me?" Seriously? On this situation? "I give you a pack of Doritos..." I said disappointed "DEAL!!!!!!" He yelled and hanged up. ****1 hour after****** I was looking to my notebook. I wrote what was their plan. "What do you hide? Why making a colossal battle between 2 legendary pokemon? This is awkward... Very awkward..." I said. My Flygon (Yup i identified quickly the pokemon) flew above me. Lucario was on his back. I retrieve Blaziken. "Come here Flygon!" Flygon came down and i hop on his back. "Lets go back to the camp!" Lucario delivers me his and Flygon's pokeball. ****40 minutes after****** I was reaching the camp. I could see Sneasel and Pichu. "Gelius... They are thinking to cut you from the formation." Said Lucario. "So they think i'm stupid... I'll show that..." Now i was mad. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Meeting without hat I landed and i hugged my pokemon. Thanks to Arceus that they are safe. I grab my Rainbow Wing. I hear voices. I walk around. I was looking for my hat. They would laugh if they see my silly hair. I was getting tired. I already know that Silver was with Gold. I reach to a place and i see Luke, Shadoan and Cabbage, that was terrified. I appear. "Did something happened? BTW I escaped. No need to worry." Pokemon: Spoiler:

Ether Wood Camp Light returns to camp as Shadoan looks over at his night watch and sighs. "I though I told you to follow Lu-" Luke slowly shows up in the distance as he looks back at Light. "They've gotten ahold of some Kuhla fruit." Irek translated and Shadoan looked back at Luke and Kelden. Kelden was smiling a grin from ear to ear and Shadoan quickly deduced Kelden ate a yellow one. Though he turned to Luke and tried to process what color he ate until Irek approached him. Gazing into his eyes, Irek scurried back chuckling, "He ate some of the pink ones! Lethia's natural Love potion!" Irek's chuckles burst into laughter. As Gelius returns with the annoucement "Did something happened? BTW I escaped. No need to worry." Shadoan glared before sighing and turning back to Luke. "Luke ate some Kuhla Berries while looking for you. Cabbage lost her pokemon, her pokeball belt is missing. I was planning our next move to get us going and you appeared and Morty is reading my old plant journal I wrote in the spring.... Now we have a happy go lucky Lucario, a lustful and horny Luke, A pokemonless trainer and two more of us ready to move... Our first objective right now is to find baggage's belt as to re-arm her and give her something as to where she won't lose her pokemon again." |

A Proud Gold Member A Cherished Reunion I let out an accidental scream which my mouth covered it. This bush is really odd. It's been shaking for like five minutes and still nothing had came out. But that doesn't mean that I want to investigate it. Before I could do more, I turn around and see Shadaon coming towards me. Well at least it's good to see him awake. Then afterwards Luke comes with a very cheerful Lucario. By that I mean Lucario is smiling so much wonder why he is so happy. The green Pikachu follows them and says something that makes both of them laugh. Wonder what could it be... "Did something happen?" As I see ahead, Gelius comes back almost in unison to join our little group. I roll my eyes; being possessed is one thing, but what he does is another. "BTW I escaped. No need to worry." I suppress a heavy sigh that is trying to work within me. Sure Gelius, we have nothing to worry about. Shadaon glared at Gelius and sighed as he turned to Luke. Apparently we have the same thoughts. "Luke ate some Kuhla Berries while looking for you. Cabbage lost her pokemon, her pokeball belt is missing. I was planning our next move to get us going and you appeared and Morty is reading my old plant journal I wrote in the spring.... Now we have a happy go lucky Lucario, a lustful and horny Luke, A pokemonless trainer and two more of us ready to move... Our first objective right now is to find Cabbage's belt as to re-arm her and give her something as to where she won't lose her pokemon again." I glare behind Shadaon. It's not like I lost my pokemon on purpose or something... but I get his point. And Luke eating some lustful berries? This should be quite interesting to see. The thing is that now Morty is awake too. I wonder if he's caught up with all of this... "Don't incriminate me like that Shadaon. But anyway, dropping ny pokebelt is something that wasn't planned nor can I remember where exactly it fell. Anyone have any ideas?" |
The man with the freaky Iast name:
Mortimer Slartibartfast I barely slept that night. Exchanging pleasantries with Shadoan was nice, but that ended when Hypno decided to mess with Cabbage and Gelius. Even though Absol took him out I couldn't shake the feeling of what would come when I slept. No doubt some frightening nightmare, but still. Meanwhile.... Hypno jerked awake in his Pokéball. 'Gah!' He screamed mentally. 'The senile beast ended my feeding prematurely! The consequences could be-' A rare smile formed on Hypno's face, tinged with contempt and bad dental hygiene. 'Actually,' He reasoned to himself, 'this might be rather entertaining...' A humorous happy dance followed these thoughts, but such descriptions are best left unwritten. What can be said is that this particular Pokémon was, by some odd event, acquainted with break dancing. We may never know how Hypno acquired these sweet moves, but we as readers digress. Nothing. Nothing happened while I slept. There wasn't a nightmare befitting of a novel, or a simple messed up dream. It was nice to get an actual night of sleep, but the unsettling fact that Hypno didn't do a thing? He had something planned obviously, and no one, especially myself, was going to like it. Putting that aside, Shadoan had one sweet journal. I copied as much as I could to my own, practically frothing in anticipation of new ingredients. When I woke up everyone was gone though, so I shook Absol awake. He grumbled in annoyance. "Oh, stop it," I said. "Do you know where everyone else went?" At this he stood up, and took a long sniff. This went on for a bit, before he suddenly bounded off. "Hey!" At least he knows where they are... I'm just going to throw this one out there: never try to keep up with an Absol. They pretty much glide through wherever they are, easily dodging obstacles they've never even seen before. I, on the other hand, was about as graceful as a Tauros (hehe). Ran into a tree and fell onto my back, right in my team members. "How's it going?" |

Ridiculous Luke was being ridiculous. Cabbage and Shadoan glare at me. So i am hated by... maybe almost... Maybe the only who does not hate me now is Morty. I tried to keep on their talk. "I might know where your pokebelt is. I gave it to Luke. But it seems that he lost it!" I said. "Look in the camp." Gold came in a rush. "Where are my Doritos that you promised?" I sigh. "Here..." I was going to say but he takes it from my hand. "DORITOS!!!!!" He shouted as he ran away. "Why i must take this retarded with me?" I mumble. Now i remember, i do not have my hat, and i see it in Cabbage's arms. I was about to say "Please give me my hat back." but i am interrupted by Lucario. "They are fighting. Luke and Kelden." I look. "Shut up now Lucario. I do not care what are they talking about." "Please give me my hat back." I said. I just want it back. Pokemon: Spoiler:

CABBAGE
A Proud Gold Member Suspicious Around As I waited for open suggestions, I see Luke putting on mixed emotions to his face. The creepy thing is that he's looking at Shadaon... Let's just say I see him drooling a bit. As I turn away, I hear Luke say: "Are we leaving?" I turned back and he thankfully wasn't looking at Shadaon at this part. I wonder if he notices this too... I still glare at Shadaon with an unknown reason now. "I might know where your pokebelt is." This time it's Gelius's turn to speak. Anything just to have my pokemon again. "I gave it to Luke. But it seems that he lost it!" I really don't like where his anger is coming from. He shouldn't hate on Luke; it seems that he has his own problems. "Look in the camp." Then, Gold comes running to him screaming about Doritos, but Gelius shoos him off with the bag. Then his eyes go to my hands and sees the clutched up hat in my hands. I forgot about that. "Please give me my hat back." It's how he says it that made me draw the hat and gave it towards him. He got it out of my hands. "Here's your hat," I mumbled. This is so not the way to start a day. |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
The missing pokebelt "Thanks." I put my hat on. Silver comes in walking. "Is this yours?" He asks me. "Give me that." I take the thing from his hands. It was Cabbage's pokebelt. "Where did you found this Silver?" "On the camp. Gold was almost to take one pokemon as same as me. But Maya saw us. She told us to give this back. Is this yours or not?" He says. "OF COURSE NOT!!!!!" Silver knows i'm mad. This day wasn't the best. "So who is the owner of this?" He asks. "It's From Cabbage you dumb!" I shout in his face. I turn to Cabbage. And i give her pokebelt. "Here you go. Sorry about Gold and Silver. They are sometimes dumb." Then i mumble to me. "Or more like retards." Sneasel gives a glare to Luke and Pichu started to charge. I start to look on my fact notebook. "If we get lucky we might be able to cross this woods safely." I close my notebook. "Well i think we already have a way." "But we must get the others!" Gold says. What he is doing again here. "Now give me more Doritos!" I was about to say a bad word to Gold but when i was going to speak, Lucario punches me. "Don't ever dare to say that." "Stop reading my mind Lucario. My mind is for plans and... well maybe fantasies." I say telepathically. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Ether Wood Camp Shadoan heard to check back at camp, so he did. Looking around the areas where Cabbage had been, her sleeping bag and the campfire. Irek glanced about and started to sniff the air until he walked over where Gelius and Luke were together. Walking about, he located a belt lined with pokeballs and the buckle to it broken. "Shadoan, I think I found her team." He yanks the belt from the bush and carries it over to him. "Great... We can probably get the buckle replaced at the caravan's." Shadoan walked over and handed Cabbage her pokeball belt. "Here ya go. If everything is settled, we should get moving, now. The wild ones are already awake and if we stay here too long, trainers or worse may ambush us." Shadoan returned his pokemon team to their balls except for Ulla, giving her orders to scout ahead for the group, Shadoan turns to his comrades and chuckles. "Well, were off to Gaia's Heart. Irek, try to watch out for our 'under the weather' friends; we don't want them doing anything they'll regret when the fruit wears off." "You mean like proposing to each other?" "More like sharing a bed on a full moonlit night." Shadoan starts hiking, leading the group on through the woods. |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
Hiking We continued the travel. Gold, Silver and Maya were behind me. This could be a good time to catch pokemon. I heard the conversation with Shadoan and Irek. Oh well. I looked around and i only see Oddish. I already have. Would be cool if it was a Vielplume or something like that. Maybe a Victribell. I get a message on the pokegear. Was Red. I read: "I'm in Lethia. Wanna come to take on the survival challenge with me? I'm with Yellow." The fact that he is with that girl is strange, and dangerous. That girl still needs to learn the battle skills. She is learning that with Red. Like i learned with Steven. "Sorry you are too late. I'm already with Gold, Silver, Crystal and some frineds. But Crystal is not here for the moment." I wrote and sent it. Luke was on the effects of the pink berry. If he tries to flirt me, i will punch him. Or worst, i switch one of my pokemon to Metagross and i kill him. Then i want to eat. I look to Blue berries. Lucario was about to eat when i took the berry. "Stop! We might not know if that berry is like the one that Luke probably ate." I guard it on a jar. "Take it! A Oran Berry. I never travel to a new region without berries. We might not know if Oran ones does not grow here." Lucario glares. Maybe he was tired so i retrieve him. I was tired so i ask Sceptile to carry me while i sleep. I fade away ********* I was dreaming. Like the day i won the Johto league. But this time was different. The guys i was fighting was a man. A mysterious one and not my brother. It was a triple battle. He sends Hydreigon, Corfagius and Vaniluxe. I sent Flygon, Blaziken and Sceptile. This is definitely a dream. "Corfaguis use Shadow Ball, Hydreigon Dragon Rage and Vaniluxe use Ice Beam." He ordened. "Everyone evade and then use Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant and Hyper Beam!" Like i planned it worked. He does a evil smile and switches. But first he throws his cape away. It was Ghetgis. This was definitely a trap. "Kyurem, Darkrai and Shadow Lugia appear!" The three legendary appear from the nothing. They shoot a Hyper Beam (In exception of Darkrai that uses Dark Pulse) and they defeat my pokemon. I retrieve them. I try to reach the other pokeballs. Nothing was there, as well as the ones i had on my hand. Pichu disapeared too. "The nightmare. Your weakness is the memories." He says. I Got a shock. "What are you talking about?" I say. He smiles and the pokemon attack once more but this time, the target was me. ********** "GHAAAAAAA!!!!!" I wake up. This was strange. I look to my belt. All normal. Now i remember. I was riding Sceptile and i got asleep. Well I got asleep. Sceptile must have caught me. "What did he meant with 'Your weakness is the memories.'?" I said. I start to think. "He might be right. My past haunts me. The hard past that i had. Maybe is that. The memories are my weakness. Cabbage might be the dreams i think. The others i do not know. But it was a dream. Nothing more." I got down from Sceptile and retrieve him. "I do not need your help now buddy." Pokemon: Spoiler:

Ether Woods - Mouth of the Mountain Path, Giant's Lement Shadoan sighed as he complained about the 'blue berries' as Shadoan called out to him. "The average berries do grow in Lethia, Oran, Pecha, even Sitrus. On top of that, Kuhla fruit is found higher up in trees vs. what you can reach at arm's length." Shadoan doubted he heard him as he had his Sceptile carry him. "And now he's sleeping." Shadoan pulls out some of the left over dream marsh and eats one to keep his nerves calm as they come to a clearing near a rocky path. "Alright, were near Giant's Lement. If we keep moving on through here, at some point we'll reach Gaia's Heart and then Heroes Loft. Take 5 minutes to rest, It's going to a little more of a rough path going through here." Shadoan sat down on the ground with his back to a rock as he pulls out a water canteen and takes a sip. "~MAIL CALL!!!~" A red pidgeotto was flapping it's wings with a Green Scarf around it's neck and a bag in it's claws. "Shadoan, letter from home and the Pokemon Day Care in Jhoto." Irek hops off of his shoulders and runs up. "Hey Sparth, how's the mail run?" The red bird glances at Irek with a puzzled look until his mind registers who he's talking too. "Irek?... HEY! Where you been? I heard you left the league to travel the world!" "I did." Sparth paused and looked disappointed. "I see... crap, and I thought you were still here when the region vanished... Well, so much that." Irek's brow furrowed, a little confused himself. "So much for what? What do you mean?" "I mean as in what happened to Lethia. Since the region disappeared, we lost all contact with HQ. When the ship arrived; we rushed our way to the bastion and discovered the place was trashed! Our homes dismantled, trashed, the monitoring room, training facility-" "Wait, all of the bastion was up in destruction?" Sparth chuckled a little. "Kind of; that's what we were told. Were currently operating from the S.S. Behemoth in terms of mail and other services that the league provides to the trainers. Until then, they're sending clean-up crews to the Bastion to re-establish our foothold here in the region, though they've been sending a lot of our 'fighter' agents instead of the ones who do basic clean-up. Seems a little odd though.... Well, anyway, here's your mail." Sparth digs into the bag with his beak and hands the mail to Irek for him to bring to Shadoan. Sparth takes a simple bow before taking off into the sky and flying back to Standing Grace. Shadoan opens the letter from home first, his parents missing him and telling him to keep his health up with wishes of goodluck. The second letter he opened up, Shadoan chuckled as he released Avaith and passed him the letter that contained a photo. "Hm?" He glances at the photo to see Melody holding a small baby cyndaquil in her arms with the icon for a boy in the bottom right. "WHOOOOOOO IT'S A BOY! IT's A BOY!! IT'S A BOY!!!" He starts hoping and dancing around before Irek laughs a little. "Congrats on the newborn." |

Rest Stop We stopped to rest. I sit down. I open my Computer. I watch the news. Here from Johto News! The Johto authorities is still trying to find the 4 trainers that are missing after the trip of the S.S. Behemoth. All of them have 14 years and quite popular around Johto. The authorities have been looking everywhere but for now no clues. The names are: Gold, Crystal, Silver and Gelius. We will get more information soon as possible... I closed the computer. Why they are trying to find me if i'm in Lethia and is hard to reach here. I open my water bottle and start to drink. Lucario asks me. "You were missing?" He asked. "Yeah Lucario. I almost drowned on the sea and a trench drifted all of us to here. That's how i reached Lethia." I say. Lucario sits down. I look to my notebook. I find the information about Gaia's Heart. First it is a floating mountain, second, it is the home of a lot of dragon type pokemon, that's good, and third, is there where Ghetgis plan will act. I find a note saying: "Gelius, Sorry if we are not at your side, This was too much for us, so me Maya and Gold went looking for Crystal and we will leave Lethia soon as possible. Good Luck, Silver." They left... wait a minute! I got rid from those guys. "Yes! I got rid of those 3!" I yell. I didn't care that everyone had hear that. "Will we moving soon?" I asked. Pokemon: Spoiler:

More references to backstory?!
The man with the freaky Iast name: Mortimer Slartibartfast Did I miss something? Luke's checking Shadoan out, and Kelden, I don't even know where to begin. This is what I get for sleeping in I guess: no explanation or breakfast. Absol seemed just as confused, but hid it a lot better than me. I should ask him how he does it sometime, when we're, you know, not in Lethia. A red Pidgeotto suddenly swooped in, and struck up a conversation with Irek. They went on for a bit, before said bird pulled out two letters and flew off. Shadoan read the first, and smiled as he did so. The second, however, elicited a chuckle and the release of Avaith. The Quilava then did a snazzy happy dance, which then prompted Absol and I to take a look ourselves. "WHOOOOOOO IT'S A BOY! IT's A BOY!! IT'S A BOY!!!" Absol's gaze fell on the picture, and suddenly darkened. The sight of a newborn brought nothing but despair to his heart. It was an ugly reminder of his past, and one that he'd not shared with even Mortimer. 'Perhaps one of these days,' he thought. It was touching I must say. That picture lightened the mood some, and put everyone into a good one (although I'm not sure about Luke or Kelden). "I'm sure you'll be a great dad," I remarked. That brought me down. As much as I wanted to deny it, I hated my father. He was cruel, abusive, and took to alcoholism as the years ticked on. The very thought of him brought forth the beatings I received, and what happened to Mo- I dry heaved suddenly, unable to vomit over a lack of breakfast. Absol snapped out of his sorrow to help me, and this time I let him. "Thanks buddy..." Our own touching little moment was broken by an exclamation from Gelius, something about getting rid of three people. Now that I think about it, his little friends aren't here anymore. 'Whew! I won't have to cook for so many people anymore!' I jumped up then, patted Absol on the head, and gave an inappropriately large smile despite the before scene. |

Paper Cut I calm down, having to think about my battle plan against Ghetgis and Shadow Lugia. I was to tired to read but i need to concentrate. Then i cut myself on the paper. "OUCH! Paper Cut!" I said as i put a finger on my mouth. This was a shame! I use a band aid from my 1st aids kit. Lucario, Pichu and Sneasel were laughing. Did i really had a paper cut on my finger in front of my own pokemon and in front of the others? "Sh... Ouch!" I was about to talk but Lucario punched me. I turn to him. "Don't read my mind. You aren't allowed neither wanted in my mind!" I say. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart Antagonist : Introduction -8 Month's Ago- The floating islands over the massive vortex of lava continue to rotate without failing and without stopping. Off to the edge of the vortex, lights off the beaten road begin to shine as several jeeps roll up to the edge. Several people climb out, dressed in black with earpieces connected to coms. The first 5 to step out pull out black and gray pokeballs and release the pokemon kept inside. A Dragonite, A Charizard, A Salamence, A Xatu and an Alakazam. The Psychic Types were unloading the cargo from the jeeps as the flying types were ordered to carry the supplies to near the bottom of the magma vortex on a stable rotating island. As the supplies are delivered, the 5 trainers climbed aboard the flying pokemon, returning the psychic types to their balls as the remaining individuals drive off the remaining jeeps before a pick-up truck with a storage trailer drives up, with two more individuals unloading a large black box. The Dragonite and Salamencer retrieve the box along with a video cassette tape and deliver it to the island where both the trainers and their pokemon setup a small base. The shortest individual with red hair sets up a television and a dusted VCR with an electrical generator. Quote:

Giant's Lament - Hillside Shadoan leads the group along the rocky trail with avaith, prancing in tow. Irek looks down on him and chuckles. "He'll Sleep well tonight." "Your tell-" *SNAP* Shadoan pauses as he looks down at his feet. the dirt begining to shift he turns back around. "HOLD UP! IT'S A PI-" The trap sprung as the vetren falls down into the hole and starts to slide through a network underneath. Avaith backs away in time to dodge as a few rock pokemon emerge from their hiding places and begin to engage the rest of the alliance. Rolling up the path were 2 Donphan's, preparing to fight. Golem x 4 Graveler x 6 Donphan x 2 Tunnel Network - ???? Sliding down through the darkness, Shadoan finally reaches the end as Irek comes tumbling after him. Looking back and what little light there was, he picked Irek and himself up to look around. "The way we came is too steep to climb, if we had the proper tools, we may find a way out." Irek dug through his Rucksack and pulled out the journal containing the tunnel network. "Well, may as well make updates. You think the others are ok?" "If they're in trouble, they'll either fight their way out or come after us.... Best to wait until we recieve a phone call." Shadoan releases Light and orders him to scope the tunnels and to return if he comes into contact with any trouble. Light gave a quick nod before charging back into darkness. |

Rock Stampede and Poison Problem As we were walking with Shadoan leading, Shadoan fells in a hole. This type of hole is certainly a trap, but then we are attacked by Rock and Ground Type pokemon. I bring Sceptile out and Sceptile starts to slash the Golems with Leaf Blade. They were thought but not enough to protect themselves from my attacks. This was suddenly interrupted when a Sting was shot directly to me. I made to evade. Then i see that this sting was a Poison Sting. And was aimed to me... This was a job from Venous, one of the 6 executives from Phantom Organization and a member of the original four executives. He was the only one who wasn't fired. Then more Poison Stings are shot and was aimed to me again. Was hard to evade. If this was his job i must be ready because he is a real strong executive...

The man with the freaky Iast name:
Mortimer Slartibartfast We can never get any breaks, can we? One second we're on our merry way, and the next Shadoan and Irek fall into a pit. To top things off, a bunch of Pokémon popped out of nowhere too! "How can this day get any worse?" I groaned and took a moment to think. 'This would be a prime time for Steelix, but judging by the area and Shadoan's situation, we'd probably all end up buried alive. What to do then?' Not wanting to dwell on this any longer, I took the easy route in pointing at the Donphans. "Sick 'em." Absol lunged at the living tires, somehow latching onto one in the process. He dug his nails into its hide, and held on for dear life. All I could see after that was a white blur. "Uh," I called out, "good job..." Looking away showed Gelius, doing his own thing (...). His Sceptile (he has a Sceptile?!) engaged the Golems, and as per his character, a completely random event occurred. I stopped caring right then, and decided to check on Avaith. The Quilava stared at the pit, seemingly unsure of what to feel. "Ah, they'll be fine. You guys got through this before, you can do it again." I placed a hand on his head. A sharp howl alerted me of Absol's victory. Man, he was really getting into the zone. The last time he was this peppy was when we accidentally bought that- on second thought, never mind. That's a story for another day, preferably after I'm dead. |

Reinforcements! I saw Sceptile struggling. He coulld not handle all of them. One of them start using Rock Blast on me, and 3 pokeballs fell. Torterra, Infernape and Empoleon (The ones from my brother.) came out. I was expecting it were Swampert, Duclops and Metagross but its ok. But then i remember that these are not my pokemon so it were going to be hard to control them. I put them back in the pokeballs. Then i call the right pokemon to help. "Sneasel help Secptile with Surf!" This is going to be tough. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Giant's Lament As the Phantom Organization came from their hiding places, the Golems and two of the Gravelers shifted their attention and began bashing against them while the rest of the wild pokemon began their assault on the group. The Golems began mudslides and rock tombs to push the phantom organization off the battle field and into the pit that was created, along with their pokemon. The Donphan circled around and rolled into any survivors of the Golems clean up. Avaith felts Morty's hand and nodded, Shadoan will remain alive and well, all he needed to do was to keep moving and think things through. As the Donphan returned, charging for them, Avaith rushes up using flamewheel and bashes his skull against the armored elephants, slowing them down while leaving skid marks on his forehead, he pushes one down into their own trap and starts to work on the other one, leaving the rock types to the rest of the team. Tunnel Network - ????? Lights rushes back and nods towards Irek before the green pikachu looks back to Shadoan. "Light found something, let's go." Shadoan nodded as he pulled out his tablet and used it as a light source as the dark type lead them through the shadows. After a couple feet in, give or take, they reach a large chamber with a spire on the ground, reaching all the way up to touch another spire above. Both of the spires were covered in a weird old language as they were surrounded by tombstones bearing the same markings as that of the spire. "An Ether Spire!" Irek exclaims as he examines it. "Think this will lead us to the surface?" Shadoan examines it carefully before reaching into his bag and pulling out the stone wrapped in bandages he picked up earlier with Morty's help. "If this way stone is still functional, though we may teleport away from our own team, it's probably best to attune it here for now and use it later for escapes...." Shadoan places the stone in front of the spires and sits down, breathing calmly as the energies began to shine from the tombstones, releasing into small balls of light and gather towards both the spire and the Way Stone. When the energies die down, Shadoan scoops up the stone, re-wrapping it in the cloth and smiles. "We now have a charged Way Stone, we can use it to teleport here anytime we need too... Light, we'll stick here for now, if there's a spire here, then a way out must be close by, look for it." ~Ether's Spire & Way Stones~ A previous teleportation method that was abandoned when poke balls were first invented and trainers were able to capture pokemon that could fly or teleport them to any destination they desired; Way Stones could be used to take any living being to any destination he or she wished providing the stone was charged first. When a stone is charged, the user may teleport him/her self or a group of others to a destination close-by or towards where the stone was originally charged. There are only a few very rare stones left in the world. Ether Spire's; besides charging way stones, the spires have mystical energies that go beyond human comprehension, beyond psychic, aura, and electricity. If someone remains calm with a clear mind, they may direct these energies into anything of their choosing. Directing the energies into a living thing is not advised; as it may start corroding the body of the life form. Directing the energies into an object such as a knife or a rune will amplify the properties of the item for a single use. An example of the power output after infusion, an infused knife will be able to slice through steel for a single cut. A rune with the symbol for strength with give a individual super strength for a few seconds. It is not possible to chip off a stone from the spires to use it as a portable charger. The spires need the tombstones in a proper setting in order to work. |

Mark's return and Savior As Sceptile was busy taking down the Golems, I was busy to see what was going on. Then i look to a pit. Venous was inside yet he was with only with 3 Pokemon down there. That means... I look behind and a Nidorino, Nidoqueen and Nidoking were there. He asks Gliscor (Wait a minute! When did he got that Gliscor?) to lift him. "Sneasel use..." Venous interrupted me. He was still on battle because he had a Gliscor (I do not know how) lifting him. One thing to make them assault is that they are looking for someone. Me because i ruined their plans. "You know... If you do that... I will Ask Nidoking to use Earthquake and your friend dies underground..." He said laughing. "Wait how do you know that?" He ignored me. "Or... You can surrender and give the Silver Wing! And there is another choice... Join us and you will work as master's right hand!" Was he kidding? Nidorino had his Horn pointed to me like it was prepared to use Horn Drill. When the hope was over... Nidorino, Nidoking and Nidoqueen started to levitate. Then they were thrown to the rocks... If i don't have Metagross or Delphox on the hand, than this means... I look up and i see Mark with Alakazam, Raichu, Staraptor and Golem. He was riding Luxray. "Did you appreciated the help?" He asked. Finally he was useful. "Thanks! How did you escaped?" I was surprised. "I will tell you later." He and Luxray get down. "Now let me give you a hand!" I gave him back Torterra, Infernape and Empoleon. Then he sent the 3 out of the pokeballs. I bring Flygon. "Leave or we use brute force!" Venous knew he was in disadvantage now. "You may have escaped now... But the next time..." He flew away with Gliscor. I look to the pit. "Wow we have a lot of guys here right to the jail! Mark can you take them to the police department?" He nods. I look to the Golems. All down. "I have now the perfect chance..." I threw a Ultra Ball, and succeed to catch one. I pick up the pokeball. Then i sit down. "At least i completed my part... Sneasel can you help the others?" Sneasel nods and goes helping while i sit down. (My fingers are almost hurting...) Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart Antagonist : Expirementation -4 Month's Ago- It's a warm evening as the sun starts to set, the mysterious agents are relaxing within their base while watching a few old video tapes of movies from the past. "It's been a long day.... I've got the dragons re-routed to a new nesting spot and forced the fairy types to migrate away from the dragons. We shouldn't have any more issues with the pokemon for the moment. Sarah, have you finished your tests?" The woman in the lab coat pulls out a small clipboard from her pocket and begins to review it. "I have. With our test's on the supposed Standing Grace, we have forced the residents to evacuate up north of our location towards Heroes Loft, or at least what remains of it. The town continues to age at a rapid pace when an object comes into contact with the ball we've been releasing every month... However, no matter what I change to the equation, when the ball hits the small town, everything surrounding it becomes affected. Tree roots breaking through the roads, pokemon evolution rates skyrocketing for those who just barely grazed it, its an interesting after effect..." "Any word from command when to stop shooting?" Sarah nodded her head and leans back against a wall. "They have, via video tape, like the last orders. I shut down the system, the satellite, everything; but it still fires off these time balls every day at noon, like clock work." She returns the clipboard to her pocket before continuing on. "I've reported the issue back to command, and they responded to continue firing at Standing grace until they could solve the bug... If we receive any reports of the league bringing trainers. We're to change the coordinates to aim out in the badlands, near the desert. We can't have anyone discovering our position." "I don't see how the league can bring humans onto the region. The team in charge at Levithans Bastion started to levitate the entire region while the team hiding out in the volcanic regions are generating a large storm to protect us and keep unwanted visitors from getting close to us." "But the team over the volcanic area is having problems, the league officers that retreated during our raid of the bastion have begun to show up and started to revolt using guerrilla tactics, causing issues for them. They may have to abandon their base and move opera." "It won't work." The 4 agents stare at the eldest member of their base, looking over a map with several figurines of pokemon and a handful of human figures. "There's no where to run where they have been setup. If.... No, when the league attacks, they'll lose ground and may even loose their box in the process... The officers know this region as if it were the back of their hand and paw. They can hide from us in any crevice, lake or field... If we found out where they've run too, then we may have a better chance on keeping them from Hindering our future endeavors...." (Present Day) Tunnel Network - Ether's Spire As Shadoan awaits for Light to return, his tablet PC starts to ring as a new annoucement comes onto the screen. "All trainers wishing to return to the mainland, please return to the Behemoth. We will be recruiting new trainers to enter the league while returning home those who wish to get home safely. To those wishing to leave, only know there is no shame in running. As long as you leave alive and well, its a better victory than no victory at all." -NOW ACCEPTING NEW PROFILES FOR ANYONE WANTING TO JOIN!- |

Look for Shadoan and Shadow danger We defeated those thugs but Shadoan is still disappeared. I grab a pokeball with a pokemon. "Snadslash go!" Sandslash came out. "Sandslash go find Shadoan." Sandslash starts to dig. He was the right pokemon to find someone. Lucario was near me. "Lucario go help the others OK?" I said as i bring out Blaziken to go with him. He goes to help. I sit down. My brother had left and took those grunts to the jail. (How does he do that?) I knew why Mark was kidnapped. He was an obstacle to these guys that want Shadow Lugia. Well he is the champion of Sinnoh. I get a call. "Hello?" "Gelius i'm calling you because a danger is occurring!" Said the female voice at the other side 0of the line. Was Crystal. She was safe. "Crys! I was worried about you! What is going on?" "The shadow pokemon amount increased. Before it only affected weak pokemon but now its affecting strong pokemon like Salamence and Ursarings." This was bad. "Ecruteak City and Azalea Town were already destroyed in Johto." I was shocked. "That's bad!" "It's not only. Lavaridge Town, Hearthome City, Opelucid City and the Pokemon league in Hoenn were destroyed too. We must stop this! Be careful because the Pokemon in Lethia might be already affected and becoming Shadow Pokemon." I was in silence. Already 4 regions on total chaos and Lethia might be the next. Then Crystal continues: "Maybe this means one thing... Shadow Lugia will wake up again!" I did not believed what i heard. Is this Shadow Pokemon meaning Shadow Lugia's come back? Yet it seems too soon because not all the regions were in total chaos. We had time to stop this. "I have to go to help the other." She hangs up. I did not knew what to do... Pokemon: Spoiler:

I have no excuse for not posting recently.
The man with the freaky Iast name: Mortimer Slartibartfast Alright, this is kind of funny right now. How does Gelius expect a Sandslash to dig through rock? They're not adapted for that, hence the "sand" in their name. I was enjoying the sight too much to point it out, but he seemed pretty distracted anyway (as usual). Actually, who's that by him? 'Oh god, not another one!' How many friends does this kid have? For that matter, why do they keep popping up out of nowhere?! I swear, I'll jump down the freaking pit if another one shows up. Speaking of pits, I wonder how Shadoan is doing. It must be be pretty cool down there. Absol, Avaith, and I watched the Sandslash nervously look back at its trainer then at the ground. The look on its face was priceless. I was trying so hard to not laugh, it practically hurt to smile. It knew it couldn't dig in rock, but wasn't one to disobey commands. I would've felt some sort of sympathy if it hadn't punched the ground in futile attempt. A single tear escaped the eye of the Sandslash, and it held up its claw tenderly. I couldn't take any more, and busted out laughing. Absol followed suit with amused barks, and Avaith just kinda looked at us. The two of us spent a good couple minutes doing that, to the point that I even started crying. A stirring from my satchel interrupted me though. I wiped my eyes and pulled out the tablet I never used, and looked at the screen. "Huh." I looked in the general direction of Standing Grace. "Fresh meat...." A toothy grin later and I held Steelix's Pokéball, frothing with the possibilities. I shook my head. 'No, we have to find Shadoan first. This isn't the time for fun.' Absol's inquisitive look was assuaged by mine, and he conversed with Avaith. I looked back at the others, and frowned. They weren't exactly, active, and it got me going. "Hey!" I yelled in their direction while still cradling Steelix's Pokéball. "I'm gonna get going whether you guys are coming or not. There's not much else here." Without another thought I trudged on, Pokémon in tow. |

Missing Tyranitar and Broken Pokeradar Morty was laughing of me. And he did not liked to see my brother... Now he knows how i feel. I sigh. Sandslash fells on the ground of exhaustion. Is Morty thinking that i'm useless... But did he forgot i saved him form a sneaky Water Shuriken? I return Snadslash. "Return buddy you tried." I was almost out of tricks. When Sceptile was Grovyle he could dig trough rock. Now it's is impossible. Neither Tyranitar can do that. I try to look for a pokeball. Then i notice that Tyranitar's Pokeball is missing. I find a note: "Thanks for your Tyranitar Mark" Oh he is so dead. And there is worst. If Tyranitar is called out he will go berserk. I hear the sound of pieces on the bottom of my bag. I look to the bottom and i find a note: "Sorry for breaking your Pokeradar Gold" He is so dead too. Now i have two broken tools: Pokeradar and Micro Respirator; and a missing pokemon: Tyranitar. But i'm sure my brother will send it back because of the hard training of it. That Tyranitar brings me the day i decided that his pokeball was not going to be open. *Flashback* "Tyranitar is going berserk! Do something Gelius!" Said Red. We were at dex holders meeting. Were all the 18 dex holders. "Come on Gelius do something!" Said Black. "Oh says the ones who won Kanto Tournament and Unova League!" I say. Green steps in. I wanted to show them Tyranitar. But it was a mistake doing that. "If you don't do nothing i will do!" Says Green. He is a Gym Leader of Kanto. But i never challenged him. He calls Scizor. "Scizor use Brick Break!" Scizor tried to attack Tyranitar. Unluckily to Green, Tyranitar does not receive damage and Iron Heads on Scizor, sending him to the wall. We all had our jaws wide open. My brother tried, Green tried, everyone tried. Except me. I step in. "Tyranitar return!" Nothing happens. He wasn't listening. Seems that i needed brute force. "Pichu Volt Tackle!" Pichu strikes on Tyranitar dealing some good damage. Then Tyranitar gets mad and uses Superpower. Pichu is sent back to the wall to. "Oh no Pichu!" I grab him. I need to stop that thing. An idea came from nothing. "Sneasel Blizzard!" Sneasel reacts and hits Tyranitar. Tyranitar freezes. My mouth is wide open. "Return!" Tyranitar returns. I stopped this trouble. I never expected it would work. "Is everyone OK?" I ask. "We will tell you..." Says Red. Then everyone says: "DON'T USE THAT TYRANITAR AGAIN!" Everyone yelled at me. My brother started to have intrest on Tyranitar after that day. *Flashback end* I had no clue what to do... I sit down. Pokemon Party: Spoiler:

Giant's Lament Avaith paused a moment and trotted over to a pinkish looking flower. He picks it and walks over to both Luke and Kelden. Swaying the pink flower in front of the two until it looked like they were in a trance. Avaith glanced at Cabbage and motioned her to follow Morty in order to look for Shadoan. Avaith walks up to a near by tree with a green Kuhla berry in it, a courage based fruit. Avaith burns the stem and carries it over to Gelius for him to eat. "Eat this and join us when you get your head together." Avaith the leads the way with the pink flower in his jaw, he runs a small ways up to Morty, stopping him a moment as he glances up at a cave entrance, nestled above their heads. Avaith motions to Morty they should enter it, or attempt to to start searching for Shadoan. ~Jing Charm~ Description: A pink flower that resembles a cross between a tulip and a sunflower. Mostly grows in areas with little air and a lot of rough terrain. Uses: Mostly used as a lure for sleeping life forms, the pollen this flower releases when plucked can entranced the weak willed, weak minded or a being under a form of hypnosis. Especially those who eat Kuhla berries. Those under the charm's effect will start to follow whoever has the flower and perform actions as long as the one under the effect is willing to commit to doing that action. If brewed into a tea along with a few Kuhla berries, it can become a form truth serum and any secrets the victim has been hiding his/her entire life will be blurted out uncontrollably equivalent to how much of the concoction is within their system. The effects of this plant can be cancelled by splashing water on the enthralled. |

Courage Berry I was in low motivation. No tricks... Nothing. Then the Quilava came next to me. He said: "Eat this and join us when you get your head together." I chill down the spine. The Quilava just talked. I could not believe in this. "He... He... He... He talked?" I mumble. Then i eat the berry. Suddenly i got better of spirit. I start to follow them. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Clair Jones | Gold TeamClair walked around a little more before coming to the conclusion she was lost. Darn it! Maybe I should have stayed with the group after all. She looked at Jaws, the Garchomp just as happy as can be. She had yet to tell him that they were lost, mainly because she didn't want to admit it. After cutting through a few bushes, she started to hear voices ahead of her. "C'mon Jaws. This way!" "Gar!" The Pokémon replied, following happily after it's trainer. However, all she managed to find was her teammates from the beginning of her journey. Of course, they probably didn't even remember her, after all, they had left her behind. She was upset but she decided to speak up. "Thanks for leaving me behind you guys." She said. |
Giant's Lament Avaith started to follow Morty until he stopped, sniffing the air, he ran up ahead of the group to the mouth of a cave. He waited a few moments until Light emerged from the darkness. The two begin conversing for a moment before Light returns back into the cave. Avaith sits down as the others catch up to him while Light returns with Shadoan and Irek in tow. "Well, at least we made it out." Shadoan was speaking with Irek until he notices his group and team was awaiting on him until Avaith jumped into his arms, dropping the King charm and starts to lick his cheek. "Missed me that bad, did ya?" He petted Avaith's head and returned him to his pokeball along with Light. "Is everyone alright?" He asked, dusting the dirt from his pant's as he pulled out a canteen of water and takes a sip, only to discover he was almost out; he would have to lead the group to a mountain spring somewhere on their climb through the path. |

Shadoan return As Shadoan came from the ground, Avaith started to lick his cheek. After that Shadoan asks: "Is everyone alright?" "Well... We were attacked by Phantom Organization executive and goons, my brother took my Tyranitar, i found that Gold before leaving broke my Pokeradar, but without counting with that... We are fine." I say. "What happened on the underground?" I ask Pokemon: Spoiler:
|
Giant's Lament "I'm fine... It was a trapped organized by some of the wild pokemon, unto which I find pretty bizarre. I mean the wild pokemon here in Lethia don't get along to organize such a feat..." Shadoan walks over to Luke and Kelden. "The berries out of your system guys?" Shadoan asks, waving the Jing charm infront of them, hoping to get a response. Shadoan's ears perked up as he heard a young womans voice, Irek took notice as well and looked for the source. "Thanks for leaving me behind you guys." Shadoan looked back at Morty, Cabbage, Luke, Kelden, Gelius and Avaith. "Whose up to earn a few more badge components?" |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
What is that voice... Shadoan was fine... Things were not too bad... I heard a girly voice... Was not Maya... Neither Cabbage... Shadoan asked if who was ready to gain badge components... I raise my arm. "I need to be at your level guys... even i doubt you can beat me..." Pokemon: Spoiler:

Something that needs not be expanded upon, and a new member? YEAH!
The man with the freaky Iast name: Mortimer Slartibartfast Finally! Something good happened for once! I felt like jumping into Shadoan's arms myself, but the repercussions stopped me short of ready stance. Besides, Avaith needed that little moment. "Is everyone alright?" Before I could even answer Gelius spewed off into some tangent, from what I can assume was a single breath as well. My hand promptly smacked my forehead, and I then looked at Absol. He was staring at some girl. "Thanks for leaving me behind." We left someone behind? All I can remember not doing before Lethia was turning off the faucet in my hotel room in Olivine. "Uh oh." Meanwhile... "Oh god, it's spreading!" There was an explosion and the sound of glass raining on the pavement. "Who left the faucet on?!" Blaring sirens grew closer as the hotel, soon to be bathed in flames, endangered the people of Olivine. Let this be a lesson. I shrugged and gave a hearty reply to Shadoan's suggestion of preying upon the new contestants: "Hell yeah!" Gelius' input though, kinda took me off guard: "I need to be at your level guys... even i doubt you can beat me..." Where did that come from, and is there a distinct lack of punctuation there? Oh, right, he had that green berry. What was Avaith thinking?! |

Questions... As i heard the conversation, Luke woke up from trance. Good for him... I look to Lucario. "Yay! They woke up!" Said Lucario. "And you are happy why?" I said. "If you also don't mind me asking, which you don't, I think... How are we getting to giant floaty rock base thing?" Said Luke. "I don't know but you won the title: 'The question of the day'!" I said with sarcasm. The Pokegear was ringing because i got a message. I read the message. "The Shadows are following you." Then the message was deleted. Creepy... Pokemon: Spoiler:

Giant's Lament "Where in Giants Lament, going towards Gaia's Heart, a massive set of floating islands over an active volcanic vortex, spinning out of controls like my father's old record player playing the golden oldies. The reason as to why we are going is-" A loud boom could be heard as the team looks up and spots a giant ball of dark energy flying over their heads, aging everything in its path. "THAT, That's why we are going... The moment we remove THAT, the moment we can reassure our safety and our survivability. You wanted this alliance for my ability to keep us alive and my knowledge of Lethia and my knowledge does not extend to giants balls of energy, aging crap out of no where. In fact, it should not even be happening, nor should the pokemon here be as organized as they are. I am making the best decision I can to ensure our survival and that energy thing is going to be a problem, so we are going there to find the cause and if possible, stop it... As for how we get there, we're going to fly there, if you have a flying pokemon, you should be fine, If not, we'll share." Shadoan paused a moment and looked over his shoulder to discover their team being discovered by Clair's Team. "... Oh right..... blast, I gave away our position...... WE, TEAM GOLD AND TEAM SKYWARD CHALLENGE YOU TO A POKEMON BATTLE FOR 8 BADGE COMPONENTS!!! UNLESS SOMEONE DEFORMS FROM YOUR TEAM, THEN MAKE IT 10!!!!!" |
(Hedgie, we have waited for your response, but we cannot keep waiting. I apologize. If you decide to return, drop me a PM and we can try again.)
Giant's Lament Just as Shadoan issued a challenge, a pitfall opens up beneath Clair's team, including Clair herself. Forcing them to fall down and slide into the catacombs and tunnels that lay beneath Lethia. "I SAID 30 METERS YOU DUMBASS, NOT 25!!!!" Shadoan looks up to see a trainer, clothed in black stomping the ground. The moment he notices his discover, he runs like hell. "... Luke, as your allied partner, I suggest we chase after the suspicious man who is trying to off us... Irek?" The green Pikachu turned to Shadoan as he grinned. "Sic'em." "With pleasure." Irek grinned the same nasty smile as he hops from Shadoan's shoulder and runs after their common foe. |

Distraction Now was me who was distracted. I wasn't paying attention. Pichu shocks me. Now i was all concentrated. The Rainbow Wing fell from my bag. "Hey Pichu! Why that?" I said. I saw the Rainbow Wing on the ground. "Oops! Its better i get this before i lose it." I grabbed it and put on my thinks. Luke was raising his fist for something. I look at them. My mind was all 'What happened?'. I grab Metagross Pokeball (that i always bring in emergencies), but then i thought it would be good to keep it for myself. So grabbed both Sceptile and Blaziken's pokeball and observed everything with attention. When the pieces gathered back together, I discovered why Pichu shocked me. Something was happening. To make sure i started my strategy. "Blaziken, Sceptile, Lucario! Follow Irek! Discover what the f*** is happening." I try to contact Mark, to see if his is still in Lethia. No signal of him. I tried to contact Professor Elm to put me in contact with Gold or any of the others. He had no clue of the others. Having in consideration that Jotho is on complete disaster right now, i had no one to call to look for them. So yeah, its a pretty hard situation. "I hope my plan works..." I said. Pokemon Party: Spoiler:

Okay, maybe more than an hour or two...
The man with the freaky Iast name: Mortimer Slartibartfast Oh, I've been waiting for this. Beating up people and taking their money is one of my favorite pastimes. Although, it'll be badge components this time around, but I can't complain. My accompaniment to Shadoan's declaration however, wasn't exactly, fitting: "Yeah, what he said!" I could feel the shame emanating from Absol. "Sorry buddy." His expression didn't change, but eh. We have more important things at hand, like that, spinning, black, orb of death... God, that thing is scary. The fact that it's aging junk is even worse. A quick burst of light caught my attention. Holy crap! Did a Pidgey just get caught in that? A pile of conspicuously bird shaped bones clattered to the rock. Oh... That's not good. We really got let off easy there. The pitfall seemed a bit tasteless considering Shadoan, but who am I to talk? Maybe the guy up there absolutely loves them? It's not the strangest obsession I've encountered. "Sic' em." Irek leapt off of Shadoan's shoulder, and pursued the inappropriately dressed figure (black in midday?). "Well," I began, "this is nice and all, but, uh, have we forgotten about that?!" I pointed at the ball. It continued unabated, much to my fairly panicked chagrin. Luke lazily slapped himself in the side, which was unrelated but still there. It was the most notable thing he's done in a while, so I can't complain. |
Giant's Lament - AFTER HIM!!! Shade turned back to Mortimer. "Our attacker is going in the same direction the giant ball of energy came from. There's a good chance he's behind it." Shadoan chases after Irek. Running past the passages and path's, Shadoan starts to pass rotating/floating rocks until he catches up to Irek, with a black hat in his paw, watching the grunt get away on a flying Dragonite. ~{Gaia's Heart}~ Upon arriving, there are hundreds and hundreds of floating stones. Rotating, spining, suspended in mid air, boulders even as out over a massive vortex of magma and fire are islands, levitating and containing dragon pokemon nests as the wild ones guard their young, hunt for food and scout the area for remaining dangers. Shadoan catches his breath and chuckles. "As majestic as we remember it, right?" Irek turns back and smiles. "Yeah, it is." Shadoan then turned to his team and friends as he took a deep breath and sighed. "Alright, this is Gaia's Heart! One of the few wonders here in Lethia you will never find anywhere else in the world! The magnetic field around here constantly rejects the earth's own magnetic field, both the north and south poles, thus the stones and islands around this area start to levitate due to this phenomenon. If any chunks of this amazing precious rock that's affected by the fields here reaches an incredibly high altitude, you will have a super storm on your hands.... The only last fact I will give about this place is that it's home to almost all of Lethia's wild dragon popu-" "SHADOAN! Down there....." Irek get's him to cut his lecture as he points down towards a base with a canon like object mounted on top of the largest building. The base was on the lowest rock, near the inferno of the vortex as Shadoan lines up the cannons direction with where the ball of energy is going and he smiles wide. "Well, at least we don't HAVE to go to heroes loft anymore for information. I think we found the source." |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
Gaia's Heart Shadoan started to talk about the mountain. I simply ignored some of the information and analyzed my information. Gaia's Heart seemed normal. Why write an information and there is nothing happening at the final point? Maybe the information is fake. "Oh come on! My info is fake! Blaziken can you burn this paper?" Blaziken nods and starts to burn the paper. Irek talked to warn Shadoan. I looked down and i saw something. Definitely wasn't Phantom Organization. But who was? I look down and i see a Dorito. But it doesn't make sense, because Gold already left and Diamond is too lazy to do hiking. Pichu saw my puzzled face. He calls my attention to what was going to happen. No Heroes Loft huh? Shadoan is a guy who changes the plans quickly. So i had an idea. I grab Unfezant, Crobat, Wingull and Noctowl's pokeballs and i throw them. "I need you four to watch arround the mountain. Good luck." Crobat, Unfezant, Wingull and Noctowl nodded and flew away. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart Shadoan chuckled. "Be my guest. The nest's are located on the higher islands, any lower and the magma will cook the eggs." as he let Nate fly off, Cabbage looked onto the area and stood beside Shadoan, asking him how it was possible. "The rotating magma below is what causes the phenomena. There are chunks of magnetically charged rocks swirling within there and merging in an unstable balance that it creates a new form of magnetic pole our planet is not use too nor can it adapt too. So our planet rejects it and pushes it off the ground. How it's coming about is as good a guess as any, there have been scientists, explorers coming here for years on end to see how this stuff works." Shadoan releases Ulla from her ball as he looks for a nearby island to land on. "The melding of both magentic poles in a hot magma environment is the best explanation they have, they don't know how is started and don't know how it keeps this up... Some theorized it was electric pokemon, others theorized that there must be a legendary causing this and it's sleeping at the bottom of that rotating magma..." Overhead, several of the islands contained Drugiddon's, Goodra's, Dragonites, and Salamances, caring for the younger dragons, bringing in meals from hunt's to feed them. Aside from the Dragon's, there were a few flying type pokemon, but only a couple of pidgeotto's, spearow's and.... Talonflames? Kalos region pokemon aren't exactly native to Lethia, so what was one or two of them doing here? Shadoan was grasping onto Ulla's Talons as she glided Shadoan down to the first island, with Irek in tow. He sent her back to pick up Cabbage and carry her down. From this point, Shadoan return's Ulla to her ball and starts to prepare the Sol Vines to be used to climb down in order to reach the mysterious base below their feet. Irek Scouts the base all the more to make sure they don't come creeping out to counter. |
Gaia's Heart-Surprise! As Shadoan's feet touch the island, an explosion from the base is heard. The ground becomes unstable and starts sinking slowly back down into the vortexing magma. From the base 3 dragon pokemon take flight, carrying a massive black cube in their tow as one of them fly's by them, cutting the Sol Vine, cropping Cabbage below for Shadoan to catch in his arms. "OW!!!... crap, HEY, GELIUS!!! MORTIMER!!!! WE NEED SOME HELP MAN, THE ISLAND IS SINKING!!!!" Above the set of Islands, Luke encounters a stuffed, oddly shaped Dragonite.... revealing itself to be a human in a costume, a Charizard rushes by to pick him up and charge directly at Luke while the costumed perp pulls out a knife, ready to attack and fight to the death. Back up to where Gelius and Mortimer were, they get encountered by a Salamance with a female lab coated trainer riding it's back and a Dragonite with a gruff looking man, pulling out a machete, ready top fight as well. ANoivern is seen above them all, carrying the massive black crate elsewhere, slowly trying to make it's escape with the goods. |

Egg Trouble with Noivern Someone challenged us but it wasn't Phantom Organization. If it was Phantom Organization, it was a male and not a female. Burglars i hate them. They strike at me. I was almost ready to pull Flygon out but the Noivern made its way to take the egg i had. "OH NO! Flygon come out!" Flygon came out and i ride his back. "Look up there!" Flygon looks and sees the egg. Flygon starts to growl before charging to Noivern. The Noivern evades. Flygon charges to him, this time hitting the Noivern. Then i catch the egg. But the Noivern wants the egg thinking that its his food. Flygon was determined to protect the egg. He lets me and the egg on the ground while he fights with Noivern. Both were using moves like Fly, Hyper Beam and Draco Meteor. While that, Salamence strikes at me to help Noivern. Luckily, Lucario jumped in and use Flash Canon. Then tries for an Ice Punch but it failed. I need to protect the egg... Pokemon: Spoiler:

The man with the freaky Iast name:
Mortimer Slartibartfast We really stepped into something here. Shadoan's yelling for help, and Gelius, in his typical sporadic manner, engaged the Salamence instead. Figures. I sighed and tossed out Tropius' ball, and watched as she helped the two. With that out of the way, I turned toward the machete guy on the Dragonite. "How ya doing?" I grinned and looked at him. He said nothing, and stared back in return. God, what a buzzkill. I miss pitfall guy, mind you. At least he was more animated than this schmuck. Where's a distraction when I need one? Absol took the initiative by firing a Razor Wind at the Dragonite's face. It shrieked and threw off machete guy, who landed without a hitch. Our Pokémon then engaged in an increasingly deadly game of peekaboo, much to my disbelief. Absol would pop out, taunt the Dragonite, and as the latter would try to attack him, come out somewhere else. It was so distracting, I didn't even notice machete guy charging at me. Ah, this reminds me of my short-lived gambling days. When a dealer realized I was using my Hypno to win (in my defense, all of the games were rigged), he whistled and a Machoke bouncer tackled me. Long story short, I lost everything I had won. This time wasn't that much unlike before, but losing was not an option. We tumbled to the ground. I found myself with a hand firmly grasping my neck, and the guy's other hand raised, ready to strike with his weapon. "You know," I croaked, "this is kinda nostalgic." He hesitated slightly, which was all I needed to reach a hand into my satchel. "Yeah," I continued, "it sure brings back memories. Except, this time it's going to end differently." With that I gripped my knife, and jabbed it into his side. He winced in pain, which was enough of a window for me. I wretched the machete out of his hand and threw him off. The machete clattered to the ground, and I had to take a quick breather. God it feels good to breathe again! When I got up I realized the guy wasn't there. Absol stood next to me with an undeniably smug face, and motioned upward. The Dragonite flew overhead, trainer on back. He was clutching his side where I'd stabbed him, and didn't have his weapon. Actually, it was right by me. "Score!" That was a nice trade if you ask me. He got stabbed by my favorite knife (and probably tossed it into the lava), and I get a machete. What could possibly go wrong? |

Flygon's effort "Lucario go for another Ice Punch!" I said to him. "DO YOU THINK I CAN FLY?!" He says. "I almost hit him before because he was near the ground!" "OK... Then go for a Dragon Pulse" Lucario shots his Dragon Pulse but the Salamance was too fast. Dang it! I need a plan and fast. And Salamance tries an Dragon Pulse, making hit on Pichu and Sneasel, throwing them near Shadoan, Cabbage and Luke. "Pichu! Sneasel! NO!" I shouted. Flygon finishes with Noivern. Leaving me with Salamance... Oh... Salamance Fire Blasted my Lucario. I bring out Sceptile and Blaziken. Salamance finishes with both Sceptile and Blaziken. Salamance tried to hit me with the egg on my hands. He was about to use Hyper Beam on me, but something protected me... When i was able to see everything, Flygon was there very hurt, in the middle of my hurt pokemon. He was giving its all to protect the egg. But he did not gave up and was still up, offering resistance. "Flygon... You are trying so hard." Flygon gets up on his feet again. "You wish to fight yet?" Flygon nods. "Then... Flygon go for an Hyper Beam." Both Salamance and Flygon used Hyper Beam and both collided. Both were still up. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart - Sinking Slowly Shadoan stepped back and tried to think until he sighed at his own stupidity. "The way stone..." Shadoan turned towards the ruined base and took a hard good look at it before rushing into it. Looking among the ruins, were some burning papers and files scattered about. Shadoan grabs the nearest set of unsigned files and shoves them into his bag, returning pokemon to their balls and having Irek return to one as well before pulling out a stone draped in old bandages and hugs cabbage close to his side. "Sorry about this. Just close your eyes until I can say you can open them." Focusing upon the stone, Shadoan and Cabbage both vanished, leaving behind nothing but glowing dust before they re-appear on a higher rock. Shadoan repeats the blinking process until they are higher up out of harms way. When Shadoan finishes, Cabbage pushes him away "Wha- How?! Wha-, Whe-, Why didn't we use whatever it was to get do-" "Because this thing is like a battery, It can teleport us to where I charged it or to short distance away. Everytime it's used, power is drained from it. I don't use it unless we get into a situation that dire... Besides we have bigger issues over-." A charizard comes plumeting down with a wounded man onto the same floating isle Shadoan and Cabbage were on as he releases Jev and Irek. "Jev, Retrain, Irek, watch him." Charizard still passed out from their fight with Nate, Shadoan searches his body for the pokemon's pokeball and returns it before fixing his gaze above. Gelius facing a Salamance while Mort was fighting a trainer. A knife comes falling down from above and lands below in the vortex of magma. The Salamance takes notice to it's injured trainer and swoops in to save him, stopping it's hyper beam in the process while the remaining of the beam hurts on of the escaping Dragonite, dropping the black boxed cargo below into the woods. The Salamance scoops up it's trainer in an attempt to retreat. Shadoan pulls out his Tablet PC and calls out to everyone. "This is Shadoan, is everyone ok?" |

Finish The battle was over. Flygon colapses on the ground, Lucario, Blaziken and Sceptile were very hurt and Pichu and Sneasel were possibly near Shadoan and the others, possibly hurt too. The egg was safe and i am very exhausted. I noticed that Flygon colapsed. I hurry to him. "Flygon are you ok?" Flygon gets up, and i retrieve him to the pokeball to not let him suffer. I return the others, including Lucario. I try to get near them. I see Pichu and Sneasel suffering. I could retrieve Sneasel but Pichu hates pokeballs. Sneasel was still in conditions to walk. I pick Pichu to my arms who was suffering more than ever. Sneasel hops to my shoulder. "Yeah we are fine." Once again i lied. One of the moves made hit on my right arm and i was trying to hide it. Plus, the old wounds on Standing Grace are hurting more than ever for an unknown reason. "No need to worry about it. Plus Shadoan, you should worry about yourself and the others. I will be fine... Let's just go i will follow you..." I try to hide more the pain. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart "That just leaves Morty." Shadoan walks over to their captured; crouching over to retrieve the captives pokemon and give's them to cabbage to hold onto. As Shadoan's back was turned, their captive wakes up, punching Jev to break free. Irek calls out to Shadoan, a little too late as the thug shove him aside and over the edge of the flying rock. Cabbage beats him over the head with her backpack, knocking him out a second time while looking over the edge for Skywards falling leader... (waiting for yellow) |

A familiar friend in the distance, a stranger pushing them. Julia's eyes widened and her heart nearly leapt out of her chest. For a moment she wanted nothing more than to run up and demand an explanation from the offender, her bros creasing in momentary anger. It was short lived however, as she very quickly caught herself and regained her composure. Right, right... Emergency situation. Julia quickly produced Roy's pokeball, processing the situation quietly as she primed it and released the fire bird before her. Roy had no hands to grasp with and his talons would likely hurt a lot if he used them. She made the snap decision not to send Roy alone, summoning her courage and mounting his back, gripping him tightly with her thighs in anticipation of the high speeds she was about to endure. "C'mon Roy--Chase that man. Dive down low so I can catch him!" she instructed. The fire bird took off, breaking into a steep dive that threatened the modesty of Julia's skirt. She raised a single arm, leaning forward and shielding her eyes from the wind as Roy set himself up to intercept Shadoan. Julia took peaks at Shadoan's location, doing her best to keep track of their positions relative to eachother.... Soon the time came. She would have to trust Roy's judgement in placement, As Shadoan fell two lithe arms would reach out to wrap around him and pull him into a tight hug, Julia doing her best to keep him from falling off as the sudden impact knocked Roy out of the sky momentarily. With a squawk and a yelp from his trainer, Roy quickly flapped his wings to re-stabilize his flight, pulling up until he began slowly rising again. Julia took a moment to take in what had happened, arms still wrapped around Shadoan in a death grip. The moment would pass and she would relax a little. "...Miss me?" she asked softly. As calm as she was, she would appreciate being on the ground again after a stunt like that. |

Savior As i felt more pain, Shadoan falls down. I can't do nothing. Sneasel gets even more worried. "D-d-don't worry Sneasel. I-i'll be fine..." I said. Why i keep lying? If no one gets worried than better. Then someone saves Shadoan. I try to focus... The pain increases. My legs are shaking, my right arm was worst and my stomach was hurting a lot. I would faint at any point. But i needed to resist. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart - Enter Julia! "Oof-!" Shadoan looked over to see an old traveling companion of his hug him tightly trying to save his life as. He chuckled looking over at her, "Hell yeah." he responded as Roy flew them back to the isle with Irek and Jev and cabbage. Their intruder was still outcold with cabbage watching over him as Shadoan instructed Cabbage to hop onto Roy as he returns Jev and Irek hops aboard onto Shadoans shoulder. Irek takes a glance at Julia and smiles. "Welcome back!" He exclaims as they take off to leave their attacker behind and check up on Gelius. They spot a battle torn Gelius as Shadoan sighs and hops off. Requesting Gelius return his pokemon, Shadoan digs into his back and pulls out some Sol Vines, a bottle of clear fluid with a red cross painted on the side and some cloth patches. Dumping the patches into the bottle, he applied them to Gelius's wounds and fastened them to his body with the vines. Shade turns over to face Cabbage and requests her to watch him. "Nate, This is Shadoan, get back to the cliff where I'm located. Gelius is in critical condition and we'll need to get him to Heroes Loft to have him and his pokemon seen too, it's not far from here. Also, there's someone I want to introduce all of you too. An old friend of mine since my first tournament here." |

She still needed a few long moments to finish calming down before she was ready to make pleasant conversation. Luckily she would have just that as Roy circled them back up over the edge of the cliff, Julia keeping a somewhat loose grasp around the other's waist. She decidedly wasn't concerned with personal space so much as she was concerned about risking another drop. For a long moment she remained quiet, gathering her thoughts. When the two of them were safely above ground again, Julia slid off Roy after Shadoan, adjusting her glasses slightly. "Hi Irek. Glad to see you're still doing well." she replied, folding her hands before her and inclining her head slightly in greeting. She began to steel herself for something, though her train of thought was interrupted as she listened in on Shadoan's conversation. The wounded were a worrisome note to arrive on, but it was comforting to be among friends again. She would offer him a smile and a quiet nod of agreeance if his eyes met hers, a quiet signal that she was willing to come along. She could speak her mind later, especially since she had a feeling they might already be on the same page. Her gaze would soon shift to meet two boys, or rather a boy and a monster boy, as she realized she was being approached. Julia turned only to be faced with a hand and a paw. Oh! She looked betwixt the two for a moment before making the snap decision to try and shake both hands at once, or get to the other as quickly as she could if she couldn't. Her grip was moderate, the grip of someone whom did not do a lot of work with her hands but whom was physically fit. "Well hello to the both of you!~" Julia replied, offering them both her most pleasant smile, her very own custom designed greeting card of sorts. "It's nice to meet you. Sometimes I wonder what my own pokemon would say if they could talk; it must be nice." she remarked offhandedly in a thoughtful tone. |

Heroes Loft As Shadoan requested me to return my pokemon i give him an answer. "I can't return Sneasel and Pichu. They don't like to be closed. Plus this 2 are in better shape than me." I said while i put my hand on my right arm. I look to Shadoan's friend. "I am Gelius and these little fellas are my partners..." My arm was hurting but my stomach... Oh right... *Flashback* Kyurem uses his Hyper Beam to hit me. I fell from Hotel Tower... *Flashback end* How could i forget this wound that Kyurem did to me? Pokemon: Spoiler:

Gaia's Heart Shadoan bent down on his knees and started to think. "The sun will be setting soon..." Shade sighs as he digs back through his back pack and pulls out his journal containing herbs. "I have Dream Marsh. What we really need are Baloo Leaves..." Shadoan gives a couple of pinkish twigs to Gelius. "Chew or eat these, they'll help ease the pain and may help you sleep..." Shadoan pulls out Gelius's sleeping bag and sighs. "We'll setup camp near the heart for tonight. We'll need to move him first dawn and make for the loft..." Shadoan sighed as he setup his own sleeping bag. "So Julia, what have you been up too since our last time together here?" He asks her as he starts digging through his bag further for some edible goods. "Shadoan, why not get some star drops? We got the vines, they can heal Gelius right up." "I'd rather not, otherwise we'll have an incredibly lust driven young man laying eyes on Julia or Cabbage every 5 seconds. You remember what happen last year with Kiba?" "It didn't affect him much." "He is a physically trained martial artist with the ability to use Aura, he can control his emotions better, I don't think Gelius can. Besides, we should prepare for the wild life tonight... Can you find me some Luna Root?" Irek nods as he scurries off to search for some Luna Roots to act as the camps Repel as Shadoan fills a cooking pot with water. "LET ME OFF THIS ISLAND!!! GIVE ME BACK MY POKEMON!!!!!!" Shadoan sighs as he looks over at Gaia's heart to see his previous attacker, stranded on a floating isle of rotating magma and Shadoan with the attackers pokemon. "Well, we can try contacting the league officers, have them come by and pick him up." |
Not related to the Ecruteak gym leader:
Mortimer Slartibartfast It feels real good to hold this machete, but I’m going to miss that old knife of mine. It had been with me for years now, before I even ran away. Dear old dad gave it to me before- Absol watched as I threw up in front of everyone, including the new girl… Why do I have so much painful memorabilia? I composed myself then, and looked up. Gelius clutched his right in obvious pain, but it didn’t look like he was hurt too much. Granted, I fell into that department currently, and just threw up, but eh, it’s a living at this point. I whistled for Tropius, and she swooped down to the side of me. “So much for the aerial rescue, huh girl?” She whinnied, before casting a quick glare at Absol. I held up her Pokéball without a thought, and she disappeared in the flash of the red light. Figures. Machete and companion at side(s), I sat by Shadoan and the pot on water. Irek ran off to get us some of those roots to stave off the wild Pokémon, and, oh, there’s a guy stranded on that island over there. It’s pretty funny seeing him yelling as us, all the way over there. "Well, we can try contacting the league officers, have them come by and pick him up,” Shadoan said. “Nah,” I replied, “we can wait a while before that. I’m sure he loves it up there.” I lazily leaned in the direction of, uh, Julia I think it was. “Hey!” I waved my machete hand excessively, realized I was holding the freaking thing, and put my arm down. “I’m Mortimer, but you can call me Morty. This, ” I gestured toward Absol, “is my faithful and without nickname companion Absol.” |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
Emotions Shadoan talks something about me. "I'm that kind of guy! I can control my emotions! I grew up on a calm place to be able to control myself! I can keep my emotions! That's why i don't go rage all the way when Maya or Mark are annoying me. Plus if i have a bad thought i am punished by my own Lucario." I sigh. I try to whisper. "Sh---" I was about to say 'S***, why i have people making fun or whatever it is of me?' but a Pidove drops something on me. Then i noticed the smell... Then the Pidove starts to laugh. "Why these things happen on me?" I said. By the time, my flying pokemon (Wingull, Unfezant, Noctowl and Crobat) were back. I struggle to get their pokeballs and put them back on my bag. I chew on the pinkish twigs. Pichu took some and we both chew on it. We felt dizzy... We both got asleep... (Sneasel's POV) Sneasel just wondered why his trainer was down and why his little friend was down too. Both were snoring... Sneasel goes near Shadoan and tries to talk. "Snea Sne Sneasel Sel." Sneasel said with hurry. He tried to say 'Don't let him go home. He has his business first. Plus, we don't know where his parents left to. He will be OK i am sure.'. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Julia couldn't help but worry about those in critical condition, but she had to assume they were being taken care of for her own sake. Right right... Shadoan had it under control. He didn't need her being a bossy britney. She raised a hand in greeting to Gelius. "Hey--Uh... Nice to be here. Maybe we should talk again after you've gotten yourself patched up? That looks pretty unpleasant." she offered somewhat awkwardly, noticing that something was distracting Gelius. She offered an apologetic smile before turning to acknowledge Shadoan after the moment passed. "I've been traveling on my own for a bit, strengthening my team's dynamic a bit. Y'know I was just thinking, it's looking pretty rough out here; how do you feel about me joining up with you guys and traveling together again?~" she asked, extending a hand in offering. Just as she was finishing answering Shadoan's question she noticed someone getting sick nearby however. This was decidedly a worthy distraction and she quickly stepped back a bit. She opened her mouth to console the boy, but was unable to find the words. Pursing her lips briefly, she was surprised and confused to find a machette in her face as the other collected himself. She just sort of leaned back a bit, turning her head slightly away and giving Mortimer this perturbed look, unsure if she was being threatened or not. Well it certainly looked like the sort of thing you didn't want to be poked with anyway. "..." The moment passed and she released a breath she'd started holding when the machete started waving in relief. "Hey, Morty. What's that for?" she asked idly, immediately beginning to regret asking after the words left her mouth. On second thought, did she want to know? Well, too late now. |
Sometimes here, and other times not:
Mortimer Slartibartfast We now return to the perspective of a certain psychic. I must send my regards to the creators of the Pokéball system one of these days. Not only am I appropriated my own little world, the confines of this sphere do not even hinder my powers! It is a magnificent marriage of things, and I cannot fathom how droll it would be if the latter was for naught. Speaking of such things, perhaps there is a poor soul to parasitize nearby? Unfortunately, I hear far too little from inside. An incoherent ramble is the best I can procure on good days. Furthermore, I lack a sense of time. The fool Mortimer is my only indication, but then only when the twitter-light¹ is upon us. How I wish that I could steal that pocketwatch of his. Lord knows I need it more than him... Oh, now what do we have here? A dragon of some sort? Yes, that's what it is. Such unbridled rage, the poor thing. Perhaps I might, alleviate its pain. YeAH baby. End of perspective. I stared at Julia for a moment. She was obviously a bit put off, what with the machete and vomiting. You can't blame her, but I do feel like a bit of an ass. Guess I'm really bad at first impressions. "Oh, this?" I held up the machete. "I guess it's kind of a trophy. We got attacked before you arrived, and I got tackled by a guy holding it." I put it down again, and gave Absol a quick pat on the head. He grumbled. She could've at least said hello to me, he thought. "Well, I did wave a machete in her face you know. Besides, you could've greeted her yourself, huh buddy?" I glanced back at Julia. "Anyway, I got tackled by the guy. He was probably gonna kill me, but I had other plans. Lost my favorite knife, got this in return. Not a bad trade really." I gave a bit of a shy smile, which is when I tasted the vomit. Ugh. Is this your revenge Buford? ¹ An outdated term for the night (see twilight). |
Gaia's Heart - Camp Shadoan chuckled. "I vote 4th then." "LET ME OFF THIS F**KING ISLAND!!!!!" Shadoan looked over at him as the violent man was kicking and yelling outloud as Shadoan sighs and reaches into his bag, pulling out a sandwich, a soda and some chip giving it to Ulla. "Carry this out to our prisoner. Don't want him starving to death. Maybe it will shut him up too." Ulla bowed as she carried and dropped the goods on their prisoners head. Shadoan looked at Sneasel as he tried to talk to him as he looked back at Irek who was returning with some Luna root and a star drop. "Irek, please translate?" Irek glances at Sneasel as the pokemon reiterated and Irek sighed. "He's begging not to send Gelius home; unfinished business... As if we could, we're too far inland to make the hike back to Standing Grace where the S.S. Behemoth lies and the league doesn't provide air travel." Shadoan chuckled. "Like he said, were too far away." Shadoan asks Cabbage to setup their canopy for the team to keep their heads out of a storm incase of rain while Shadoan takes this time to cook. He lights a candle and boils the Luna Roots in a cup of water to keep the wild pokemon away while cooking tonight's meal. "Potato Soup with bacon, Sweetened Roasted Kash seeds and fried Oran Berriers. Get it while it's hot!" Shadoan produced the following meals in 2 separate bowls and one pot to hold the soup. Set aside, With Ireks help, the two start making medicine with the Sol Vine and Star Drop. The medicine they create turns into a paste they store into a large jar and soak the left over with a few bandages. Irek walks over to an injured Gelius as Shadoan stores the powerful medicine into his bag and sits with his feasting team. "With the star drop Irek brought back, we've mixed some medicine to get Gelius back on his feet by dawn. However, when he wakes up, someone needs to volunteer to watch out for him. He'll act like he's having a hang over and cave into a massive lust like our old team mate did... We don't have to pick now, we can pick a volunteer tomorrow.... Until then, how have you been Julia? What have you been since our last journey together here?" |

Julia Blackwood Team SkywardGaia's Heart Badge Pieces: 0 http://i.imgur.com/4aZK7cM.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/rlM9OxH.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/rT9C4IP.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/JwFD98o.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/1ljY1GL.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/DHRucK4.png Julia quietly shook off her suspicions. Right right--That had been a silly thought; why had she thought he had a thing for the knife again? She bowed her head slightly, decidedly keeping her distance. Her nose was telling her she didn't want any part of what Morty had goin' on over there--Perhaps after he'd had a bath... She glanced at Morty's absol briefly, debating whether it too could speak. It seemed like an unlikely assumption to make, but then how was Morty answering what felt like a rather specific question out loud? "I guess it's a good thing you took it, then." Julia mused aloud, half-heartedly humorous in tone. It made sense in her head. What sort of loon brought a big knife to a pokemon battle? The kind that intended to do something awful with it, evidently. "We don't need anyone getting hurt out here, y'know?~ There's enough danger without that.' she remarked thoughtfully. When Shadoan returned Julia found herself doing a double take. Had he said 'lust'? Her expression deadpanned momentarily, perhaps as she remembered a previous incident revolving around this berry. She silently hoped one of the boys would volunteer so that she didn't have to explain her feelings on the matter to anyone, choosing not to bring the matter up now. "I've been doing alright. I did a lot of training and taught my pokemon a few new tricks. More than anything else I'm ready to win this tournament." she explained thoughtfully, her tone becoming very stern as she finished as she tried to stress her determination. Her cheer quickly returned however. "Still got the same team and the same dream. Only this time the circumstances have changed a bit for the better." she explained, seeming to have rhymed deliberately whilst beaming at the other. Shadoan might recognize this as being a reference to them being able to compete as teams instead of facing each other this time. |
x Gaia's Heart - Camp Shadoan nods in agreement, smiling back at her before Irek pokes his side. "Uh, Shades....The berry load is busted." Shadoan looked over at him as he held up his berry box to reveal almost of the berries he had inside were smashed. "Wh- how?" Irek holds up a larger berry, the berry Shadoan picked a while back, the clear see through berry had grown 3 times its original size! "That's....." Irek finished his sentence for him. "Unreal, I know.... It's a new breed of herbology for the book. We can look it up tomorrow once we reach the loft... Julia, Luke, can you guys spare some pokemon berries for the evening? This new berry destroyed ours... And while I'm thinking about it, Julia, have you seen Kiba or have you both broke up and gone your separate ways?" [WARNING!!!: Time skip immenant!!!! Skipping to -> Heroes Loft - Entrance] |

Stan Carter Stan was out searching through the dense forest. Where the heck is this dude? Stan thought. It was late at night and Stan had no sense of direction. Even with Buster out, it wasn't easy to know where he was going. Buster was mainly for protection. After searching for a long time, Stan saw a small group of people trying to sleep. A guy with a green pikachu, a man with a sneasel, and a guy sleeping with a Gallade and Lucario. That's him. Stan recognized Luke Clifford's pokemon. He was the leader of Team Gold. A team that Stan wished to be a part of. After wiping the floor with the evaluator before setting foot on the Behemoth, Stan had layed low. His old team was a group of five who Stan joined just so he had a team and backup. They'd had a fairly calm journey so far. But, Stan didn't want a calm. He wanted to win. Stan heard about Team Gold and their objectives. Stan knew he wanted similar reults from going to Lethia. Team Gold was his best way to achieve them. After his team fell asleep, Stan snuck away to join Team Gold. His previous team had a strange name and Stan was the easily the strongest. He just kept his strength hidden. Now, Stan was faced with some of the most powerful people on the island. He wanted to be one of them. Stan was about to step forward, when a figure quickly approached him, giving Stan no time to react to what he was doing. |

"Sure thing. I brought a handfull..." she mused aloud, only to become more flustered as she went on. After a moment or two passed she would seem to give up. "But it looks like some mischievous monster has made off with them without me noticing." she lamented, her shoulders sagging and her head lolling to one side lazily in defeat. "Great. Well, I guess that's why you don't plan too far ahead for the future~" she went on half-humorously, raising her arms a bit and shrugging helplessly at the situation. "As for Kiba, he had other things in mind. It was hard to say goodbye, but the call of the tournament was just too strong. Y'know?" Julia offered,, peering into her handbag with scrutiny. It was as if the berries had never been there, yet she was confident she had had a few. Oh well... |
x Gaia's Heart - Camp Shadoan sighs and sits back. "Alright... Irek, divide my food amongst the team, I'll just chew on some Kash Seeds for now and get something better tomorrow.... Goodnight everyone." ~End of Day TIME SHIFT - Dawn: Heroes Loft Entrance Time Passed: 2 days As the morning sun beat down on the weary travelers, the two teams finally climbed the last hill. Reaching the top, the company gazed down and spotted Heroes Loft, discovering that is had been surrounded with Onix's and several other fully evolved rock pokemon. At the center of the rock made beasts laid the settlement; the powerful security fence that kept predators away was now tattered and faded and the buildings were covered in graffiti. There were humans roaming the inside, but barely leaving outside at all. As the group approaches the loft, the rock pokemon stop them in their tracks to identify them. The group had to present their tablet I.D.'s they were participating in the tournament and needed somewhere safe to stay a while. When they presented their tablets, the rock types backed off and left the group alone. Upon entering Shadoan looked worried as he examined the Loft; It was in shambles but the place was still running like it did the year ago he visited it and the pokemon guarding the loft weren't League officers, they looked to be like pure wild ones. Shadoan turns towards the group and addressed the newcomers to the loft. "Aside from myself and Julia, ladies and gents; this is Heroes Loft... Which has seen better days than I remember.... This place is the second and last human settlement on Lethia aside from Leviathans Bastion which is reserved for the league and it's employees both human and pokemon. I'm going to see if I can get Gelius here to the hospital here if he's willing to gather some information. Until then, there's a pokemart, a casino, a hotel to stay in a warm bed, a bazzar for rare tools and items you'll never find anywhere else, a pokeball workshop and what appears to be the old job booth... which has apparently upgraded to a bounty office.... Relax and do what you want; just don't get yourself killed or put in harms way. I'm going to gather information and replenish my food supply." |
Gelius Prowers - Team Skyward
Cold Waking up... (Sneasel's POV) The Sneasel was getting worried. Gelius was sleeping too long for him. Sneasel took a plastic bag and created some ice shards. Then he pulls Gelius' shirt and puts inside the ice bag. Some seconds after, a scream is heard. (Gelius' POV) "AAAAAHHHH! Its cold! Yikes!" I yelled. I turn to see the situation. Sneasel sighing and Shadoan talking about something. However i was feeling a little better. Then i heard Shadoan with more attention.. He said hospital. And he said information. I grab my notebook. I start viewing the pages. Page 97: Getting now and true information about Shadow Lugia's rising. My PC does some noise. It's the news notice... What is it now? I open my PC. The news shocked me. "We recieved some news. The Shadow Pokemon rate is increasing in worrying numbers. There are even people who might have saw with those pokemon, Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno." I was drinking my water but i spit it all out. "Wait... What?!" I just yelled. "How can this be possible?" After the Legendary Birds news, another article came. "Also the suspects fall all on the boy who fell from S.S.Behemoth. We have images of him falling of the boat," I saw an image of me jumping off. "And it is even seen in Standing Grace." Another photo, with me riding Flygon. I was drinking again and i spit it out. "The authorities are looking for him to arrest him." I close my computer and then sigh. It's my life. Then i look to my Pokegear. No calls, No Maya or Mark annoying me. No Gold or Silver to join on shenanigans. Something strange happens. Pokemon: Spoiler:

Behind Stan appeared a leaf. Whew! he thought. He had been afraid something had been out to kill him.
Stan heard some whispering from the group he was observing. Something about, Hero's Loft. He had heard of that place, it was one of the more living friendly places in Lethia. Thinking about it more, Stan followed the group for two days, hoping he wouldn't be noticed. He managed to get through with nobody knowing. After arriving at Hero's Loft, Stan trailed behind Luke Clifford, leader of Team Gold. Luke entered a cafe, where Stan followed. Watching carefully, waiting for the right moment to make a move, Stan went in to speak to Luke right after him and his pokemon received food. "Mind if I sit? My name is Stan, and I want to join Team Gold. I think I'd fit in rather well." |
|
Stan took Luke's offer and moved over a chair. Stan carefully listened to the questions being asked, making sure to catch every single one. From what Stan had heard, Luke Clifford wasn't a guy you wanted to mess with.
"Well," Stan started calmly, "as for my team, they are a group of just decent trainers, that really have no shot at winning. I was the strongest by far. They're probably still looking for me, thinking that I'm simply lost. Now, I'm going to give it to you straight. I honestly wish we didn't have to be part of a team. I'd much rather go solo. But, so be it..." Stan then took a brief pause before continuing. "I do however, strongly agree with your goals. I just had a thought about them. You seem to want to eliminate problems in the regions, or sometging along those lines. I wish to end abandonment, poverty, hunger, and everything along those lines. I can promise, I will put Team Gold's goals first. Believe me when I say, I understand how much stronger you are than me." Stan believed that his three pokemon were right there, if not better than the best. The only problem... there were only three. They couldn't face a team of six weaker pokemon alone. Iff you are questioning my abilities at all, I think my pokemon are right with the best. The thing is, I only have three." |
|
Stan was rather surprised by Luke's agreement. It was much easier than he imagined. Originally, Stan was expecting to have to complete some hard task, something to prove his worth. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Well, for the amount of pokemon, I guess it depends on how you look at it. I see it as less men, a smaller army, covering less ground. Some see it as less mouths to feed, not as many bodies to train. In the end, I guess you are correct in saying that it all comes down to the trainer. I do like to think I've done a good job with the three I have. They all seem to come in handy at one point or another," Stan realized that he was now the one rambling on. "Sorry, now I'm rambling. But, I did hear that there is a pokeball workshop here. Know anything about it?" Stan asked. That was really his only question. He wondered if he perhaps overestimated Luke Clifford. It was a thought that quickly drained away. Stan knew he didn't stand a chance against Luke. Not currently anyway. But, perhaps he could learn about the team Skyward. "One more thing. Who is Team Skyward? I prefer to know who I'm working with. I met as well also ask who else is on this team," Stan questioned. He stood up several feet away from the table, waiting for Luke to pay. |
Heroes Loft (Graphic a Work in progress) "That would be my team." Shadoan spoke as he was coming up from behind Stan to meet up with Nate. "I lead team Skyward; I'm a previous competitor to Earth and Sky and have advance knowledge on survival here in Lethia, including berries, roots and what the outside world would describe as the 'occult,' my objective is to figure out about the leagues disappearance over the year it was absent while I plan to use my free wish to resurrect those who will loose their lives this years contest providing we win... The rest of my team prefer to use their own wishes as they see fit and I will respect whatever they choose... Until then, Nate, Updating the situation with the Loft and sharing with what I've gathered; 95% of the human population from Standing Grace retreated here to Heroes Loft when the town on the beach shore came under attack. Since then, Rock pokemon have been coming through and the inhabitants here have made an arrangement to provide the rock types with food that's grown here in exchange for protection; all the rock type pokemon being wild of course in turn. If we're staying for the night, I suggest we leave at dawn and head down the mountain to the swamp to pick up some new herbal materials for our journey such as Baloo Leaves.... I've also picked up some information on a trainer battle area that's going on with a lot of badge components on the line we'll need to enter the next leg of the tournament... Also." Shadoan turns to Stan and chuckles a little. "I couldn't help but eaves drop a little, but the pokeball workshop is a setup to where you can create custom pokeballs. Such as Heavy Balls, Moon Balls and so on. Though you can take it a step further here since the materials in Lethia; you can never find anywhere else...." Irek comes rushing in and climbs Shadoan's leg until he reaches his shoulder. "Shades, there's a hovercraft blueprint on sale. We can make it with the basic materials in Lethia! We won't have to travel on foot for a while!" "Lead me!" The green pikachui hops off and runs out of the Cafe with Shadoan following after him. |
|
Heroes Loft Irek leads Shadoan over to a vendor in the bazaar selling off "plans" for survival, blueprints to help the average trainer build tents, dry meat racks, rafts, camouflage for both trainers and trainer camp setups; it was quite a setup. "The hovercraft is.....$10?... Why is so cheap?" The stand owner chuckles and responds after assisting another trainer. "Noone can tell left from right how to assemble it and never bothered with it." Shadoan took a look at it and tilted his head a little puzzled himself. "This requires the floating rocks from Gaia's Heart... I can tell most of it is made from wood, but the mechanism to drive it is.... What is this?" Irek looks at it and frowns. "It's a Gale Stone. It's like a Way Stone but it can generate wind and storms instead of teleporting and providing energy, like a massive fan or miniature pikachu. If I'm reading this right, it can push the craft forward and help maneuver it.." "Well, where do we find Gale Stones?" "In mineral deposits underneath Lethia; they're more common than Way stones." Shade looked over it further and chuckled a bit himself. "And the steering mechanish is A waystone as well, Which I guess they interface in some way?" The stand owner pulls out another scroll of paper and presents it to Shadoan. "In a sense; You need a pokemon with Aura powers to connect the stones at a quantum level. If you do that, you can control the gale stone no matter where you are in the world." Shadoan looked back over the plans and pulled out his wallet. "I'll buy the plans for this, the scroll for connecting stones, and the plans for camoflague for both trainers and camps please." Shadoan pays for the plans, stuffs them into his bag and walks away towards the Pokemon Center. There were fewer trainers inside of the center and the nurse Joy manning the desk looked down. "Hey nurse Joy... Can you help get my team into better shape?" "Sure..." She replied with a sigh. "Why so down?..." "I'm just depressed for my sister, she's living here in the center trying to keep her spirits up ever since the disaster down in Standing Grace... Not all of the pokemon escaped or were successfully teleported out of the center and we've been waiting on word for the league to come back and set things right for us... Until then, we've had to setup an agreement with the tribe in the area for protection." "Standing Grace has been re-established, The league just arrived about roughly a few days ago, they're trying to gain control back over the region." Nurse Joy's ears perk up as she walks to the back with Shadoan Pokemon and Irek. A few moments later, a Nurse Jopy rushes out of the back room to the nearest phone, punching in a few numbers, calling up the center in Standing Grace and getting a response. She starts crying tears of.... 'joy' as the 1st one emerges from the back. "Well, She'll be taken care of now. Though it's a wonder why no ones told us..." "Maybe most of the competitors are being a couple of a****les.... You mentioned earlier a "tribe" was watching Standing Grace, what exactly is a pokemon Tribe and what's going on?..." Nurse Joy sat back into her rolling chair and leaned back. "When all of the trouble in Lethia began; The pokemon around here started to team up with one another to form tribes; the wild ones to be precise. There are still some species who are more violent than others who won't join in, but these tribes are just sects of pokemon of different breeds, species and races who have banned together in the name for their survival. The Tribe watching over us are a sect of rock and ground types. The diglets and dugtrios are underneath our feet act as early warning systems for the ones protecting us... We don't have any power streamlined here since all of Heroes Loft used to work on 4 of the massive batteries underneath the center here.... Due to some tribal raids, 2 of the batteries were damaged leaving only the other two left. The tribe protecting us took notice to our predicament a few days later and sympathized with us enough to offer up the deal... There was a league officer left here in the loft when everything went down and he was more than happy to help negotiate." "Is this officer still around?" "He's in the Casino..." "Thanks." Shadoan starts to walk over to a couch, then Nurse Joy stops him. "One... more thing. You've helped out my Sister more than the other trainers with that tidbit of information, so..." She reaches behind her desk and pulls out a slip of paper. "You can have this... It's the rights to the warehouse here in the Loft. If you prefer, you can head to the bounty office and setup a bounty to have trainers gather materials to store in there for your travels and you can come back here to get them or have a pokemon bring them to you." Shadoan nods and takes the slip of paper and stuffs it into his journal before walking over to a couch and waiting for his team to recover. ~Asset Update~ Warehouse [Small: Heroes Loft] This warehouse can store up too 5 Resources/Assets. This Asset "Can" be shared with others within the Alliance/ |
Starting to walk away, Stan answered Luke's question.
"Sure, sounds like one of the more fun things to do here. But, that Shodoan guy is a little scary. He is definitely on my list of people to not PO," Stan replied. "Well, anyway, let's go check out the pokeball place. I know you don't think it matters, I don't either anymore, but I want a Lethian Pokemon." Stan then started to slowly walk out of the building, wairing for Luke to follow. He definitely was happy with his new team. Luke was clearly a great partner to have, and the Shodoan guy seemed to be respectable. None the less, this team was much better than Stan's old team. A team that would help Stan achieve his goals. |
