Story:
(Home Town)
? (Male): Come on, C. Just a little farther. We have to get his help.
? (Female) (C): Shut up, M! I'm making good progress, I'm only here because you're slowing me down!
M: Heh, I doubt it. Let's hurry.
C: I guess. I could take them on, though. I am the strongest trainer in the world.
M: … Right.
(Hero's room)
C: Hey, are you awake? Hello?
((Name) jumps out of his/her bed)
M: I don't think we should be here, C.
C: Oh, shut up. Unlike you, I know exactly what I'm doing.
M: Hello, um... (Name). We need your help, really. There's these two guys who are snooping around our home, looking for something.
C: Yeah, he suggested that we get help. Not like we really need it. Will you help us? Of course you will! Let's go, T! M!
M: T?
C: Trainee! Right now, she/he's my trainee! That's the only way s/he'll be able to travel with me!
M: Riiiight. I'm sorry, but C is a little... overenthusiastic with her abilities. Yeah, if you're wondering, we can't tell you our real names. If we do, then it wouldn't be good for us, so yeah.
C: Let's go, M! T!
(C jumps out of the window)
M: She's just overenthusiastic, really. Excuse her energy, if it annoys you. I shall be leaving the same way, you can just head out of your front door. I apologize for sneaking into your house.
(M jumps out of the window, Mom comes in)
Mom: (Name)! Are you okay? I thought I saw two strangers jump out of the window! Maybe I was just tired, though. Well, I'm going back down. I'm exhausted.
(Mom walks down the stairs)
(Outside)
(Talk to C)
C: Owww... I think I hit my head too hard.
(Talk to M)
M: Yeah, this is embarassing. Sorry, (Name).
C: Ahem! T!
M: … T. Anyway, there's a small island off near Starchrome Island, and there lays an ancient beast known as Groudon. It is my understanding that there are two men, their names being Marcus and Drake, snooping around, looking for something. I think it might be Groudon.
M: We need your help, will you help us?
C: Enough talk! I'm bored! Let's go, M!
M: But C, we need to tell (Name)! … I mean T!
C: You can tell him/her on the way, I'm about to fall asleep!
M: But... fine. Let's go, T.
(C runs off, and M walks off.)
C: Hurry up, M!
M: No one has your energy, C. You'll have to wait.
(Octoria City Port)
M: Ah, you're here.
C: I'm bored. Can we go already? We waited for a long time!
M: Quiet, C. Now, T. Are you ready to go? These people are powerful criminals evading even our organization's attempts to catch them.
C: Yeah, they're tough criminals, alright! Now let's go, the ship is about to go!
M: Right.
(C, M, and (Name) walk onto the ship)

C: Hurry up! I thought we'd be there by now!
M: Calm down, C. It's going to take a couple of hours.
C: HOURS!? Argh! Whatever, I'm going to go and find something to do.
M: Don't break into people's rooms!
C: I'll try not to.
(C walks away)
M: Sometimes I wonder about her. Now, I doubt we're actually safe on this boat. Drake knows we're after him, and while Marcus isn't the brightest, Drake is pretty intelligent. He'll see this coming, and he might send something here to fight.
C: AAAAHHH!
M: C!
(M runs off)
(Cabin)
?: Heh, one down, one to go!
C: I'm not losing yet! Abomasnow, use Blizzard!
?: Metagross, Protect.
M: Cira!
Cira: What!? You aren't supposed to say my name!
M: Whoops... sorry. It kind of slipped.
Cira: I should just call out your name! Everyone knows I'd do it!
?: Umm... in the middle of a battle here?
Cira: Shut up!
?: Metagross, Psychic on Cira!
(Cira is pulled into the air.)
Cira: Hey, put me down!
?: I thought you would like it in the sky, little fairy. But it's too late, I'm going to drown you in the ocean, then your human guard will be dealt with.
M: Ah, crap!
(Talk to ?)
?: What? You want to stop me!? Foolish tot! I'll have you know that I am the great Arkan! The third of the thief trio!
M: Arkan!? Oh, crap! T, be careful!
Arkan: Let's go!

M: You're under arrest, Arkan.
Arkan: … No. That's where you're wrong, Manuel.
Manuel: What!?
Arkan: I have an explosive planted on the ship. I doubt a little Ice Fairy could do well taking a swim in salt water. And then we have the human limitations of you and T. I doubt you could lift her over the water and swim.
Manuel: WHAT!?
Arkan: Yeah, I have a bomb in me. It's set to go off when I say the correct words.
Manuel: ****, we have to go!
Arkan: Embark, on my perilous quest, Electrode!
(Arkan explodes, taking out the room on the ship)
Manuel: Cira!
(Splash, splash, splash)
(Unknown Island)
Manuel: Wake up!
Manuel: … We're on the island. Arkan was stupid enough to explode while we were close enough to the island.

Manuel: Guh, t-too strong.
(Manuel falls over, Marcus walks up.)
Marcus: Heh, what a wimp. Can I kill him? Huh? I bet he'll scream like the other one!
Drake: She's still alive, you know. Fairies are hard to kill by inflicting pain on.
Marcus: Heh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I bet you're wondering why we got her, and are even here. We're here for the statue behind us! It's not a statue, but it is Groudon itself! We're here to catch it, and get it's DNA, so we can clone more!
Manuel: What!? What does Cira have to do with this?
Drake: I'll explain from here. We're cloning Groudon, and then, with the power of two Groudons, we'll destroy everything, and rule over the dead earth. I've always wanted to rule over everything, but with no resistance! This way, I'll never get overthrown! Now, the girl is to be a sacrifice, to sate Groudon's no doubt monstrous appetite.
Marcus: Yeah!
Manuel: You guys are sick, I'm taking you in!
Drake: Heh, I doubt you can. Marcus, attack them!
Marcus: Yes, sir!

Manuel: Let Cira go, now!
Drake: No way, she's our virgin sacrifice!
Marcus: Yeah, you can't stop us now anyway! It's time, Drake!
Drake: Yes. Let's go! Groudon! Awaken from your slumber, and grant us the power to manipulate the earth!
(Marcus runs out of the room, and brings Cira back.)
Cira: Mmmph!
Manuel: Let her go!
(Groudon roars, and breaks free from the statue.)
Groudon: ROOOOOOAR!
(The cave shakes)
Drake: Perfect! Ahaha! Excellent! I am great!

Manuel: Go... g...get away.
(Silence)
Drake: Heh, another pest out of our way. Groudon! I have a snack for you! See the blue-haired female? She's all yours!
Cira: I'm not running. Lapras, use Perish Song.
Drake: What!? You'll kill us all!
Cira: T, get going. You can still make it. Hurry!
Marcus: Heh, a little serious, eh little girl? Never heard you talk like that.
Drake: Silence! Let's test out Groudon a little more. Use Fire Blast on Lapras!
Cira: Perish Song, now!
(Perish Song begins to echo throughout the cave)
Groudon: ROOOAR!
Drake: Gah!
Marcus: Aah!
(! appears over (Name)'s head)
Cira: Ah!
(Groudon shoots the Fire Blast, hitting Lapras)
Cira: Lapras!
Drake: That... was... close! If you had a death wish, then you should have said so!
Marcus: Yeah! I always thought you agents were supposed to be the toughest group around!
Drake: The National Police Agency, or the NPA. Filled with powerful trainers, specially trained to take down criminals like us, known for lack of emotion on cases, and for such efficiency in them as well.
Drake: Obviously you and Manuel were close, eh? Too close. You don't deserve to even be partnered together. I thought you were supposed to separate yourselves from emotion. Oh well, I've waited around too long. Groudon! Nourish yourself!

(Drake and Marcus disappear)
Cira: No... they're gone. I can't believe this... I failed again.
Manuel: Urgh...
Cira: Manuel!?
Manuel: Heh... heh... I'm still alive. You didn't... fail, Cira.
Cira: Manuel... I'm going to get us to a hospital!
(Cira turns to (Name))
Cira: Thank you, T. You saved us.
Manuel: Heh, he/she did, didn't he/she?
Cira: Hold on, I'll get you to a hospital.
(Manuel and Cira disappear, using an Escape Rope)
(Home)
Mom: Oh, I have something to tell you. The Battle Frontier is opening its doors again for its Gold level tournament. I wish you luck in your battling there.
(Any time after the event, in front of the Starchrome City Pokemon Center)
Cira: Oh hi, T! It's nice to see you again!
Manuel: Heh, yeah. I don't know why I'm alive. Maybe something was looking out for me?
