The Everlasting Pokémon Journey

...sampling tea at the various Cafes around town. Ypu head to the nearest cafe and are told by the assistant he went to a building all in Red. When you reach the Red building you see a man wearing a bright red suit and strange sunglasses. When Claire asks him where Looker is the man says 'Professor Beech,...he's just...at the salon.' Claire thanks the nervous man for his help and reveals to you she would prefer it if people still called her Claire instead of the formal sounding 'Professor Beech'. You both run to the salon and the stylist cheerfully greets Claire (Even calling her by her first name). Before anyone can make too much small talk Detective Looker appears at the door and says, 'Sir, Professor Beech, what can I help you with?'. You tell Looker that...
 
...there is an ancient evil force called The Darkness that is behind a lot of the chaos that's been happening recently. From death threats, Froakie exterminations, possessing victims to commit crimes, vandalizing museums, and even aiming invisible guns at people! Looker asks if by invisible guns, you mean something like...this! He aims an invisible gun at the back of Claire's head and tells you that anyone who tries anything will be responsible for Claire's death. Of course Looker is possessed by The Darkness. You wonder why you haven't noticed the black eyes until now. Speaking in a demonic voice, Looker says he missed you and couldn't wait to use your heroic nature to lure you here. You ask it why it hasn't killed you yet if it supposedly has the power to. The Darkness says that killing you is not its goal. It wants you to become its ultimate vessel. With the powers of the protagonist, The Darkness will become invincible, free to torture and kill all life, and even bend time and space to its will. Suddenly, a hooded figure appeared behind Looker and stabbed him with a sword made of light. Although the sword did not harm Looker at all, The Darkness was in clear agony, and it decided to flee Looker's body. Claire turns to thank the hooded figure, but whoever it was already ran off. You run up to Looker to see if he's alright. Looker assures you that he's okay, and tells you...
 
...he has intelligence from an unnamed source (Although he reveals that the source has a loud voice) that the hooded figure that saved him was female. Claire nods and tells Looker that she believes the same. Professor Beech then updates your Pokémon so you can now ask it about people. You say 'Detective Looker' and the Pokedex says he is the 'Observant Person'.You thank Claire for the update and Looker reveals...
 
...that before he was possessed, he was investigating The Darkness and he followed it to a library. Apparently, this library is built on top of an hidden underground temple. Inside the temple was a giant black stone tablet. The tablet was in an ancient looking language Looker couldn't understand. He took pictures and sent them to Professor Elm to decipher the words on the tablet. As he then turned to leave, he saw a crapton on smoke, and everything after that was a blur. You realize two things. First, whatever was on that tablet was important to The Darkness, which is probably why it attacked Looker when it saw him near the tablet. Second, if The Darkness doesn't want anyone near that tablet, then Professor Elm might be in danger and he doesn't even know it. Looker calls Elm to warn him, but there is no answer on the Pokegear. Fearing the worst, you, Claire, and Looker rush to New Bark Town to check up on Elm. Unfortunately...
 
...Elm is passed out and his assistants are nowhere to be seen. You check his pulse and realise he is thankfully still breathing. You call an Ambulance and the Doctor appears in double quick time and tells you Elm will be ok. The Doctor thinks Elm may have had a heart attack. You thank the Doctor for telling you Elm will be ok. Claire looks at the pictures Looker sent Elm, she informs you that she thinks she can translate it but it will take time. Looker tells you he has found a clue. Professor Beech's Gardevoir teleports you the three of you back to your house in Saffron City. There your wife greets and kisses you before making dinner for everyone. Sabrina then tells you...
 
...that someone with a hood came by earlier and asked her to give something to you. Was it that hooded figure that freed Looker from The Darkness's possession earlier? Sabrina gives you an envelope and a package. You open the package first. It's the sword of light the hooded figure used earlier! Cool! You then open the envelope. As you suspected, it's a letter from the hooded figure, and it says that she (if Looker is correct) wishes to aid you in your battle against The Darkness, but she wishes to meet with you alone so the two of you can discuss vital information. It is also then that she will reveal her identity. Sabrina is skeptical and suspects that this may be a trap, but you assure her that for the few seconds that you saw the hooded figure, she did not have the dark aura that those possessed by The Darkness had, and must be concealing her identity for a very good reason. In any case, you decide to bring your Pokemon with you. According to the letter, the hooded figure wants to meet you in front of Tin/Bell Tower in Ecruteak City, so with light sword in hand, you make your way to Ecruteak City. Before you can enter the city, you are interrupted by...
 
...Morty. You tell him you have important business to attend to and you will talk later. You approach the entrance of the Bell Tower and see the Hooded Figure as they said. The figure sees you and says 'Ah. Mr You. We meet again.' After discounting the idea it was your wife under the hood and its clearly not Claire or Serena. You know for a fact Karen was with Marshall at the League at the time and Erika was at the house with your wife and Skyla but...she didn't stay and left when you did. 'Erika?' You ask. 'Very good.' The Hooded Figure said. 'But why the game hood?' You ask. The figure clicks her fingers and you Teleport To Celadon Gym. Now In Celadon Gym the figure takes her hood down showing she is indeed Erika. You notice the Gym is not the same Garden Haven it was earlier. 'My Second in Command Ace Trainer Mary has joined the Darkness and is one of their most trusted Lieutenants. It is my resolve to bring her back and save Kanto.' You nod but that doesn't explain the Hood. 'For secrecy.' Erika says. 'What's more I am also a trained ninja.' You are surprised at this revelation. 'Saffron.' Erika says 'is next. Go home and make sure your wife is protected then you, I and Professor Beech can stop the Darkness.' You thank Erika and call Marshall to tell him to come to your house to protect Sabrina which he agrees to. You Teleport home and tell Claire and Claire alone the plan and she responds...
 
...by asking how they'll strike The Darkness. Every time they get close, it escapes. Suddenly, a hooded figure comes in through the window. You wonder why Erica is in her disguise again, but you then realize that this isn't Erika. This hooded figure assures you that she is part of the same group as Erika (the hoods are uniforms). She was the one who sent you the letter and light sword and was the one who wanted to meet with you, but The Darkness was tailing her, so she had to hide and ask Erika to go in her place. You ask her to show you her face, or you can't trust her. She tells you that she refuses unless Claire leaves the room. It's dangerous for anyone else to know. Claire tells you she'll be right outside the door just in case, and exits the room. The hood is lowered, and you are shocked. This girl looks no older than 16, but she looks just like Sabrina. Except for her eyes, which are the same as yours. Is she really...? She tells you her name is Cassandra, and takes out a Celebi. Time travel, of course! She then starts crying and hugs you and says she's glad to see her father alive again. That can't be good! You ask her just how bad the future is for her to have to go back to the past. Cassandra says...
 
...that nobody is allowed to keep Pokémon and anyone who does is thrown in jail and that her mother is in hiding without her Psychic powers. She bursts into tears and says you sacrificed yourself to save them and that Sabrina lost her powers when she tried to revive you. You ask where your friends are in the future. Cassandra from the future says she does not know but her best friend Marie Beech (Marshall and Claire's child) who is one year younger is also in the Darkness Fighting Task Force with her and created the Light Sword. You understand now why Cassandra wanted Claire out of the room. Your daughter from the future starts crying again and you reassure her by saying...
 
...that things will go differently this time. You'll destroy The Darkness, save everyone from its tyranny, and prevent any more deaths. Cassandra smiles and then explains that in one year, The Darkness will fully awaken its power under the darkness caused by the total solar eclipse and become invincible, so they need to kill it before then. Also, killing The Darkness requires finding and destroying its stone "heart" so that it'll actually die and not just regenerate. Cassandra puts on a mask and puts her hood back on and then asks you that while she's disguised, you call her "Raven". No one else needs to know that she's from the future. If The Darkness found out the truth about her, it would most likely go kill Sabrina before she's even born. You assure Cassandra that her secret is safe with you, and then she lets Claire back in the room. After introducing herself to Claire as "Raven" and filling Claire in on the things she told you about The Darkness (leaving out everything involving the future, of course), she then gives you and Claire talismans which she explains will seal The Darkness within its vessel, preventing its escape. She also gives Claire a sword of light identical to yours, just in case. Claire then thanks "Raven" for the information, talisman, and light sword and asks her...
 
...'Where did you get the idea for the Light Sword from? It's just like a blueprint I drew up last month.' 'Raven' truthfully says they were made by her best friend. Professor Beech frowns at the limited explanation but nods politely. 'Raven' tells you the Darkness will be in Saffron Gym so the three of you head there and your daughter from the future tells Erika to watch over Celadon. You kiss your wife and say you will be back soon. As you leave Sabrina turns to Marshall. 'Strange.' She says. 'I am sure I know that hooded figure but from where.' Marshall folds his arms and tells your wife not to worry and to get some rest. You, Claire and 'Raven' arrive outside Saffron Gym and see...
 
...the most horrible sight. Serena is on the floor, bleeding and unconscious but still alive. Ash seems to be on the floor beaten to a pulp and crying, his Pokemon also brutally beaten and barely conscious, and Pikachu, oh dear. Pikacku has the most evil grin on its face, a dark aura surrounding its body, and its eyes are pitch black. Ash begs Pikachu to fight off The Darkness. Pikachu zaps him with Thunderbolt and tells Ash in a demonic voice (wait, The Darkness can force Pokemon to speak English?) that it's having too much fun torturing him and his Pokemon. It tells him that it can hear Pikachu screaming on the inside, begging it to stop. It also thinks it's cute that Ash's other Pokemon aren't even trying to attack it in fear of hurting the vessel it's in. Pikachu then starts hitting itself with a sharp rock. Wait a minute, that's a Thunderstone! You run to stop The Darkness from hurting Pikachu anymore, but Cassandra gets there first. She kicks the Thunderstone out of Pikachu's hands and stabs it with her sword of light. Pikachu is unharmed, but The Darkness is screaming in pain and tries to escape through Pikachu's mouth. You throw the talisman at Pikachu, which sticks to its body. It's not getting away this time! Claire runs to help Serena, Ash, and his Pokemon, while you and "Raven" point your light swords at Pikachu's face. The Darkness tells you that as long as there is evil within the hearts of humans and Pok- but you cut it off and tell it to shut up and die already. You and "Raven" stab it at the same time, killing that piece of The Darkness and freeing Pikachu as well. Nurse Joy then runs to the scene and quickly calls over a team of Blissey to carry the injured to the Pokemon Center. It seems everyone will make a full recovery! Later that day, Sabrina heard what had happened and asks you...
 
...who the hooded figure is. You tell her that in her current heavily pregnant state it is best she does not know. Sabrina says she trusts your judgement and thanks you for understanding her well-being. Claire and Marshall are in deep discussion about going on holiday together once this is all over. Your wife kisses you and says...
 
...that the two of you are going on a one week vacation to Hoenn right now. After the craziness The Darkness put you through, you need it. You worry about what The Darkness will do if you are gone, but then you remember that if anything happens, Claire and Cassandra are both there and are both powerful enough to handle it. You and Sabrina teleport to Vermilion City and board the cruise ship S.S. Aqua (it's en route to Lilycove City). While on the ship, you and Sabrina decide to pass the time by...
 
...that it's much hotter than usual. You then see Groudon making sand castles on the beach. Of course. Then, you notice Team Magma running towards Groudon, Ultra Balls in hand. You go over to Team Magma and tell them to piss off. Maxie arrives and asks who do you think you are to speak to him that way. You tell him that not only are you the friggin Champion, you're also the one whose Pokemon mind crushed Team Rocket into oblivion, the fate that will also befall Team Magma if Maxie doesn't disband them now. Team Magma disbanded in record time that day and Maxie runs off with his metaphoric tail between his legs. Groudon thanks you for getting those weirdos off its back and gives you...
 
...a Heat Rock. You aren't sure if any of your team has Sunny Day but you thank the Continent Pokémon anyway. You then spot Giovanni counting his money at the other end of the beach. You approach him and ask where he got all that money from. He responds by saying he is too busy counting his money to answer right now. Realising you already have enough on your plate you decide to let Giovanni be and take a romantic walk along the beach with your wife who says to you...
 
...that tomorrow, the two of you should head to Lavaridge Town and visit the hot springs. Remembering how relaxing they were when you went last time, you agree and decide to head there first thing tomorrow. In the meantime, you and Sabrina decide to let all of your Pokemon out. The Pokemon decide to play volleyball. It's Pyra, Elizabeth, Helena, (your Delphox, Nidoqueen, and Jellicent) and Sabrina's Espeon, Gardevoir, and Xatu on one team, versus Marshall, Kira, Slifer, (your Chesnaught, Mawile, Salamence) and Sabrina's Alakazam, Slowking, and Celebi on the other team. You and Sabrina are the referees. Five minutes into the game, some people started coming to watch. Ten minutes later, there's a huge crowd cheering both Pokemon teams on. There's even a group of Plusle and Minun acting as cheerleaders! Suddenly, Brawly shows up to watch the game and asks you...
 
...that she heard about the crazy things that happened recently regarding The Darkness's attacks on the Pokemon League and Saffron City and hopes the two of you are alright. After assuring Skyla that both of you are fine, Skyla turns back to the game. She says that she's never seen a game of volleyball this intense before. The score is currently tied at 13-13, with both teams being evenly matched. The game goes on for another 5 minutes with neither team able to score, until the game is suddenly interrupted by...
