(Whoa, didn't see the bunnying coming.)
(X_X... but anyway, this is gonna be a long post, because I've been looking forward to do this.)
~Later~
After Gastly's apolology, Raine resting, and Marcus's introduction, Tristan was looking around the city with Iceberg. He felt that he needed to do something before challenging the Gym Leader of Violet City. He saw some signs around the city for 'The Ruins of Alph'. Apparently it was some sort of Tourist Attraction. Maybe that was what he needed to visit.
Tristan went to Route 31, because the signs/ads said the entrance to the place was basically right beside the entrance to Route 31. It was.
I'll be back soon, they won't notice... The entrance was empty. Not even the guard was there. But the place didn't look like it was closed, so he went in any way.
There was a really creepy feeling about the place. He didn't know what it was. And, the place was completely silent, so he was startled when some man ran out of one of the caves, he saw panic on his face. "What's going on?!" Tristan immediately asked. The man was panting and told him the Unown in there were freaking out.
That just made Tristan more curious, so he entered the cave. He was right. The Unown were flying everywhere, all of them making their cry over and over. He had no idea why they were doing that, but they kept running into/hitting Tristan and Iceberg, so he had to do something about it. "Iceberg, use Bubble!" So he did. His Bubble had grown stronger since the last time. It knocked out a few Unown, but that just made the others freak out even more. They kept running into him and Iceberg, chipping into Iceberg's health bit by bit. Tristan decided to call him into his Pokeball so he wouldn't be worn out later. He felt a couple of battles coming up.
He started to run through the cave, managing to dodge some of the Unown, but he still kept getting hit.
A bit deeper into the cave, he saw some of the Unown attacking something. There were so many of them that he couldn't see what they were attacking, but he saw a shine coming from it. Finally, he saw some flames knocking away the Unown until whatever it was, was free. Tristan looked at it. A completely yellow Charmeleon. A shiny Pokemon!
"So you're what's been causing the Unown to freak out," Tristan smiled. You could read from his face he was aiming to catch the Charmeleon. He threw out Iceberg's Pokeball. "Go! Iceberg!" Iceberg appeared. "Iceberg, we're going for our first catch!" Tristan told him. So he repeated his name and nodded. "Keep using growl, like you did in the battle with Raine and Spark!"
But he only finished one growl before the Charmeleon used a scratch on him. It was fast, and strong.
Iceberg took a fair amount of damage. "Heh. Use Bubble!" Tristan told Iceberg. He did, but after that, Charmeleon was charging up a Dragon Rage. That was bad.
(I don't feel like explaining the whole battle, so we'll skip to the end.)
Iceberg was worn down, and the Charmeleon was still strong. Right when Charmeleon was about to use another Dragon Rage that would finish Iceberg off, Iceberg's whole body started glowing with energy. "He's evolving..." He smiled. "Perfect." Iceberg's shape was changing slowly, and then it stopped. The glowing wore off, and Piplup was now a Prinplup. Tristan smiled. "Way to go, Iceberg. You can do this!" Tristan then took out his Pokedex to see what new moves his Prinplup had learned. Metal Claw, and it's Bubble had powered up to BubbleBeam. "Alright. Iceberg, use Bubblebeam, then strike it down with Metal Claw." Iceberg shot more Bubbles from its beak, but these bubbles were glowing with more radiance and power. They were also a bit faster. They hit the Charmeleon hard, and he fell to his knee. He looked back up just to see Iceberg Metal Claw him, and he fell down.
"Good, Iceberg..." He then threw a Pokeball. It shook a few times... and then, the button on the Pokeball glowed. Succesful catch. Tristan called Iceberg back and picked up Charmeleon's Pokeball.
The Unown were still freaking out. They were calmer, but still freaking out. Tristan decided to explore some more. He heard someone's voice. But he was only mumbling things like "Hmm..." or "Interesting..." he followed the voice. He saw someone with a black and red outfit on. Actually, more like armor. He had very spiky hair. When the person turned around, realizing Tristan, he saw that the man had a letter on his chest piece. 'S'.
That's familiar... Hmm.. got it! He's from my flashback/dream! When he remembered that, he felt anger toward him.
"Yes?" The man simply replied.
"Y-you..." Tristan glared. He didn't finish his sentence. He only had one response he could think of.
Time to put this Pokemon to the test... He threw Charmeleon's Pokeball, and he came out.
"Oh. That was my Charmeleon. Ah, doesn't matter anyway. It ran away from me, but I don't care. It's stupid. Worthless. That's all it will ever be."
Charmeleon's eyes glowed red, and he charged at the man without Tristan's command.
The man threw a Pokeball, and a Pidgey came out. But the Pidgey had all dark feathers, and there was a disturbing emptiness in his eyes.
(Like before, I wanna skip this battle. I just want this post done with, because I've been typing it for like an hour and a half. xD)
"It doesn't matter." He said. "I was just using that Pokemon to protect myself while I finished this task. I have stronger Pokemon, trust me. After all, I've finished my task. So for now, I bid you farewell." The man just walked away. Tristan seemed too paralyzed by now to say anything or stop him.
Then, he looked at the wall. The man had been setting the Unowns onto the wall to form a picture. Not words, but a picture. It looked like some sort of Pokemon. Tristan had never heard of or seen this Pokemon. He pulled out his Pokedex. It started to explain the Unowns, but he already knew so much about Unowns, so he just hit his Pokedex to make it stop explaining. "No, I mean the Pokemon they're forming."
The Pokedex answered by saying, "Unknown Pokemon" and that was all. He sighed. He decided to leave. The Unown had calmed down now, and after he examined some of the walls, he noticed the man had been studying the place too.
Tristan left and went back to Violet City. Then, he looked at the Pokeball of his newly caught Pokemon. "Hmm... I'll call you Darkfire." He said. He smiled, knowing how lucky he was to have caught a shiny. Then he put the Pokeball back in his bag and picked up his amulet. (The one he was talking to at Cherrygrove)
"I caught my own Pokemon now, and my Piplup evolved into Prinplup..." he told it. "I think I saw one of the people who was in on it..." he said. He didn't say anything else, and put it back in his bag.
(Ugh, finally. It took me almost two hours to post this xD)
