Taking Back the World [RP]

[Saraibre Ryu]

Its finally here! Thanks to all that signed up and were so patient with me. I apologize for this being so long. I wrote it out ahead of time out of sheer impatientce and its 3 1/2 pages long. Hee hee. Anyway, any questions go on the Discussion Thread and everyone have fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The waters lay still in the evening night air of Altomare. Many of the lights were dim or windows totally black as I walked down the stone sidewalk along the canal. I had a grey fleece jacket on, as it was cool outside abd would only get colder. I payed no real attention to where I was walking, I didn't need to. I automatically knew where I was going. Though if I was being more perceptive, I might have noticed the people that were following me.

I turned into an alley then walked under an entry that had been taken over by beautiful plants. Looking around for a second, I then walked down a set of old stone steps and a beautiful, almost unrealistic garden was before me. Putting my pack down, I took out a glass-like flute and blew a soft, metalic note. It hummed through the air. A red and white pokemon came rushing up to me and nuzzled my face. Following her, a blue and white one, giving me a friendly headbutt.

"I'm happy to see both of you too." I replied giving a hug to them both. "Its been awhile since my last visit hasn't it?"

Now the red one was nosing about my pockets. looking for something particular. I knew what she wanted without the bother of having to ask.

"You want to play with Tearess don't you Twyla?" I asked.

She nodded. And Brother wants to play with Torrent!

The blue one rolled his eyes, seeing there was no sense in arguing. I smiled and took out three pokeballs and threw them in the air. Out of them came a normal Charizard, Flygon and Feraligatr. Twyla happily flew around Tearess, my Flygon, and in a second they were happily playing tag.

"Well Shoku, are you just going to float about like a rock or what?"

That makes no sense. He commented before going after Torrent, my Feraligatr.

My Charizard was already relaxing, lying on her stomach watching the TV. I walked over and sat next to her, leaning against her side.

"Anything interesting Ashe?" I asked.

Watch. She answered.

I did. At first it was just the ending story about the canal races held not too long ago here in Altomare on the local news programme, but then some story caught my attention.

"Rumored reports of Team Rocket activity have been proven false after the Trainer that reported the crime, was arrested earlier today for attempted theivery and resisting arrest for both the Trainer and his Pokemon. Names will not be given out as to who the criminal is, or their Pokemon."

"A Pokemon and a trainer getting arrested?" I repeated. "Since when do owned Pokemon get arrested and go to jail?"

Since they put that new law in that hasn't been entirely passed yet. Ashe answered.

"But that doesn't make any sense." I added.

Before Ashe could say anything else, there was a comotion at the stairway. All activity came to a halt as special alw enforcement came barging in, along with a Crobat, Golbat, Houndoom, and Rhyperior.

"What the hell is going on?" I demanded.

"By the authority of the Sadora Police, the pokemon Latias and Latios are under arrest." One of the officers answered.

"What?"

A contraption of some kind was set on the ground and quickly started to spray out a translucent gas ino the air that was quickly filling the entire area.

"We're going to need you to leave now."

I looked at Twyla and Shoku. The Latias clearly didn't know what they were talking about, and neither did her brother, but that didn't stop him from hovering protectively infront of his only sibling. Torrent loomed silently in the water that he was just racing Shoku in, waiting for a signal from me as Tearess came down and stood on the other side of me.

"Now." The officer instructed.

I started walking towards the stair with Tearess and Ashe following me, Twyla questioning my actions through telepathy. Shoku stopped her worrying, knowing that I had a plan. All my other Pokemon knew as well.

"Tell me, what charges are they under exactly?" I asked, not turning to face them.

A different man answered; "These two are responsible for the drowning of Rya Takara a few years ago."

"Thats not possible."

The whole group looked at me after my quick response that I let pass my lips. I turned around, as did Ashe and Tearess.

"How so?"

Ashe then let out a powerful Flamethrower attack at the group and their Pokemon after Tearess's Sand Attack. Twyla rushed up to me and then out the stone steps while shoku and Torrent took the underwater passage that lead to the canals.

"I'm Rya Takara!" I answered. "Tearess Sand Tomb!"

With a few flaps of her wings, the flygon summoned a mighty sand twister and trapped the police along with there Pokemon. The three of us ran out into the city, soon meeting up with Twyla, Shoku and Torrent. I jumped onto Torrents back while Ashe and Tearess took to the sky. After riding through the maze of canals, we were soon ambushed by a flock of Honchcrow and Crobat, trying to bombard everyone with Shadow Ball attacks and the Crobat attacking Twyla and Shoku with Leech Life, pulling some down from their bodies. Tearess thought quickly and summoned a Sandstorm attack to put some distance between us and the pack of flying Pokemon. Torrent took his own action and started to swim backwards, trying to shoot the pursuers with Ice Beam, followed up with Ashe's Flamethrower.

We kept battling it out until we were halfway out to sea, when the chase had stopped and the Honchcrow and Crobat turned around and left. Not stopping, Torrent swam as fast as he could until we reached dry land. By now, it was well past midnight and after walking for an hour, we all collapsed under the fatigue. Twyla came over to me, with concern, hoping that I was alright. Shoku came over and reashured her that I was only extremely over tired. Picking me up, she placed my as comfortably as she could under a tree, figured out how to return the three others to ther Pokeball and did so. The her and her brothers attention was brought to my right hand, where a mark appeared on the back of it.

So, it is that time. Shoku said, looking into the moon.

That old myth. Its real now isn't it? She asked laying next to me.

Her sibling nodded. He looked back at the moon, wanting some kind of answer from it before laying down on the other side of me and eventually all fell asleep.

Back in Altomare, an officer was standing on the edge of the city, glaring into the horizon of where we had escaped. He flipped a cell phone open and dialed a number as a pair of Crobat came to him with bloody down in their fangs.

"Sir, the specimins have escaped, but we did get the secondary item."

"Good." A dark voice said on the other line.

"but we do have a problem now. That Rya girl turned out to be very much alive, therefore the charges do not fit any longer."

"That doesn't matter just get the DNA here along with your men now."

There was a click and the man glared at the phone before shutting it. He took out a container and opened it infront of the Crobat, each dropping ones down into separate compartments. The two bats flew off as the container was put in a bag. The man took one last look at the ocean before turning and walking into the shadows.

OOC: YAY! THE STARTNESS!

IC:

Setsuko sighed as she let the beach's water hit her bare feet. She kept passing her hands through the sand, turning her head for a moment, only to realize that she wasn't in Sandgem anymore, but in the outskirts of Sadora. She suddenly felt something poke her feet, only to see a small Luvdisc pop out of the water. She smiled, rubbing the little Luvdisc's head before looking back at the sea.

"So how's the water Ai?"

"It's great Setsu-Chan! Why don'tcha come in?"

Setsuko sighed, the smile still on her face. It wasn't a sad sigh, but a dreamy sigh. She closed her eyes and reached down towards the water, as if hoping to pick something out of it, yet, when she took out her hands, nothing.

"I'm sorry Ai... I'd rather not... it reminds me of... nevermind... now come, let's go... it's about time we sneaked into this place, right?"

Ai nodded her head in agreement, jumping out of the water. At that time, Setsuko took out two Pokeballs, with one of them, returning Ai back to said Pokeball. Then, she threw the other one in the air, out of it coming a black Dragonite. It yawned lazily, looking at Setsuko and nodding.

"What is it now Setsu-Chan..."

By the time the Dragonite finished his sentence, Setsuko was already on his back, tapping on his sides with her feet.

"Okay Ryuunosuke! Time to take the skies!"

Ryuunosuke groaned as he flapped his wings up, now airborne. He flapped them again, now flying towards the more deeper parts of Sadora, past the security guards, at a high altitude, and at an incredibly fast, almost blinding speed. They were headed straight for an archipelago, as if something, or someone was guiding them. As they flew, Setsuko's right hand suddenly had a glowing mark on it, which looked like a water drop with two gray laces on it.

"It's time..."

"It seems so... sister..."

---

"Can't you fly any faster Tsubame?"

Akio was holding on to the foot of his Hoothoot, which flapped her wings easily, yet still keeping herself and Akio in the air. Tsubame sighed, flapping her wings slightly faster to speed up the pace.

"Well, as you can see, I am just a Hoothoot, and I cannot fly any faster with you hanging on to my foot!"

Akio sighed, feeling as if something was coming near. He had already passed the guards, somehow. When he turned his head, he saw a black Dragonite fly by him and full speed, noticing someone was on the Dragonite's back. He simply shrugged it off, keeping his view to his destination, a nearby tunnel. Someone or something was leading him there.

"Hey Tsubame... don't you ever get this feeling that you're gonna be reunited with someone sometimes?"

Tsubame looked at Akio questioningly, wondering where the question came from. She simply went back to looking infront of her, now not too far away from their destination.

"No... not really... why?"

"Nevermind..."

He looked at his right hand, studying the symbol it had carefully. It resembled a cross, the segments on the top and the bottom red, and the ones at the left and the right purple. It seemed to be glowing more and more the closer they got to the tunnel.

"So... he's back..."

"Great... it's time then..."

"But why HIM of all people?! Jeez..."

OOC: *dances at the fact that he's the first poster*

X3 Yay!

[Negative Zone]

"Dusty," a tall yellow Pokemon holding two spoons, an Alakazam, said. "Hurry up..."

"But, Alakazam! Can't we just rest a little?" Dusty said.

"Dusty, just hurry up," A Turtle-like Pokemon with a boulder for a shell, a Golem, said.

"C'mon, Dusty," Another turtle-like Pokemon, but with a tree and three mountains on it, a Torterra, said. "You didn't catch me just so we could laze around."

"Augh, okay, you guys take a rest," Dusty said, taking out three Pokeballs. The balls sucked up the three Pokemon. "I'll keep moving."

"I really should have caught a flying Pokemon...

"Duh," Alakazam said through telepathy.

Dusty climbed up a tree to see what view he could get. "Dammit, this view sucks," he said. "You can't see anything... Except a city."

That's where we're heading, idiot...

"Oh, I knew that."

"Let us out..."

The three red beams shot out.

"Alright! Off to Simac City!" Dusty yelled, turning his cap around.

"Finally!" Golem said.

"Awesome!" Torterra said.

Alakazam simply nodded.

[NeonTrainer]

Andrew looked around in the cool blue sky gazing at the clouds pass by. "I wonder how long it'll take us to get to Simac City." Andrew wondered.

"Theres nothing to do on this boat Andrew. When are we going to get there?" the Skuntank moaned. "Don't worry Skuntank, its not that long till we get there." "Well I hope your right" the Skuntank replied. Cool winds passed by giving Andrew, Floatzel, Skuntank, and Armaldo a breeze that felt good especially to Floatzel. Andrew knew it'll take at least a hour to get to Sadora since they set off 3 hours ago from the docks. "You know what, I'm swimming I'm tired of sitting in this hot weather." the Floatzel ached.

"Fine go but stay near the boat." Andrew said as the Floatzel dived the water and swift swimmed around the boat. As Floatzel swimmed and the boat proggressed storm clouds came into the cool blue sky making it a blackish gray color. Clouds opened allowing a Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres flew by. All of them roaring the sky flew upwards farther than the boat. "It seems like their waiting for you." the Armaldo said finally looking up. "Yeah, it looks like it." ; The skys cleared as there were out of sight and the boat proggressed heading towards Simac City.

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: Yay now I can wake up!

IC: The sun was already high and blaring in my face when I woke up with something warm resting in my lap. It was my bag that I had left in the garden when we fled the Sadora Police. I looked around and found no one or anything to be around. I got up wearily, feeling stiff. I took a few steps forward before being buffeted by a happy Twyla. I looked at her, only seeing she was no longer red and white. Anywhere she was red now, was a dark lavender.

"Twyla, what happened?" I asked. "Why are you purple?"

I don't know. Brother turned a different color too. He says it was the gas from the machine that did it. She answered.

Without another word, I let out Ashe, Tearess and Torrent. As my guess was correct, they all had too turned a different color. Ashe was a midnight almost blackish blue, Tearess was purple, blue and green, while Torrent nearly scared me half to death as he turned a pale navy blue and dark teal with dark red eyes.

"Okay, then that must've been it." I said. "Twyla where is your brother anyway?"

He went to go and find out where we are.

Before I could say anything else, everyone was commenting on each others new look, with either compliments or insults.

"Alright, thats enough. Everyone back in."

I returned everyone back to there Pokeballs, then did a double take on my right hand. On the back of it was a mark. Much like a Latios and Latias triangle making a diamond over a silver moon.

"Where did this come from?" I asked Twyla.

She looked away pretending to look at something else before answering me. Its a long story, Brother will explain it to you.

I took out a fingerless glove anf put it on my marked hand, knowing it would attract someones attention.

"Well, you better become unseeable until we find Shoku." I said. "Lets go."

Twyla turned invisible as we walked through the forest, having the least slightest idea where we were going. After awhile of walking, we saw a Dragonite fly overhead with a Trainer on its back. i looked at Twyla, who looked back at me. We knew what we were going to say without a word, and I released Tearess, while the Latias went to go find her sibling. Tearess and I followed the Dragonite, hoping to get some answers. Then the mark on my hand felt abnormally cool as we got closer.

What is this?

[NeonTrainer]

The cool winds turned to warm winds as Andrew and his pokemon approached Sadora. "Here it is, Sadora!" Andrew said excited. Earlier when they were nearing Sadora, Andrew returned his Floatzel since it looked a little sleepy and needed rest. As for Skuntank, she was asleep but Armaldo stayed awake looking at the horizon waiting for our trip to end. The boat stopped near the shore of Sadora and Andrew returned his Skuntank to the pokeball but Armaldo stayed outside of its pokeball.

Andrew and Armaldo walked off the boat and onto a sandy shore that led to Simac City. "I sense the 3 birds, they're waiting for you." "I know, and I'm coming." Andrew said walking off the sandy shore and to Simac City.

Alex reclined comfortably within the arms of the plush chair, gazing down at the amateur coordinators competing in what he had accomplished many years ago. Violet, his prizewinning Piplup was curled into a distorted ball, taking a long-deserved nap; making soft cooing sounds in sync to its light breaths. A flame-wheel attack from an out of control chimchar caught his attention, as it spun and flipped, unable to stop itself. Boy that kid could use some training, Alex thought to himself, seeing the chimchar’s trainer struggling to control her berserk pokemon.

Only hours earlier, he had been competing in his own pokemon contest, dubbed to be his 35th to date. Violet had destroyed the competition, as always, combining a bubblebeam attack with the crowd-pleasing metal claw to unleash sparkling dew over the crowd. The only thing that could possibly top that was Violet’s performance in the battling rounds, using her cuteness to her advantage. But all in all, Alex and Violet had left holding the Super-Rank Cute Ribbon, Violet’s second this month.

The fifteen-year-old boy had traveled to this city earlier this week, unaccompanied by others, just him and his pokemon. He didn’t know where he would go from here, for there was no further pokemon contests for months.

Thinking over his options, Alex dozed off, leaning over the armrest, and drooling slightly onto the down-fluffed head of Violet. Yawning her soft little yawn, the Piplup stretched and looked around, noticing that the amateur contests had advanced into the Normal Rank ones. Violet shook her trainer, she had to let him know that the ushers would soon be checking the stands, and they were not supposed to be there. Alex moaned and stretched, gazing down at Violet, whose face was covered in a worried expression.

“We’ve gotta go, c’mon follow me!” the Piplup shrieked, yanking on Alex’s pinky finger.

“Relax, we have plenty of time, after all, they are only up to the amateur contests,” the boy responded, shifting positions and rolling over.

“Uh, no those ended long ago, they are announcing the winner to the normal rank as we speak!” she fluttered at him.

“You’re kidding, come on, we aren’t supposed to be here,” Alex said, picking up the penguin-like pokemon and carrying her to the end of the row.

“Hey you, kid!” came the deep bellow of a fat usher climbing the steps toward them. “You’re not supposed to be up here! Arbok, use wrap!” he commanded his companion pokemon, which lunged through the air towards them.

Just as the cobra pokemon fell upon them, everything stopped. Time, movement, speech, everything! That is, except for Alex and Violet, they were left unfazed. The boy, who had been preparing for impact, opened his squinted eyes to confirm his belief.

“Oh no, it’s happening again!” Alex groaned, pushing the suspended Arbok to the ground.

“What, what is it?” Violet asked, bouncing about, excited by this near-impossible phenomenon.
But her trainer need not utter a word, for the three legendary pokemon had just appeared, swirling in their familiar semi-circle above the contest below. They had come to him countless times before, in visions, dreams, and even once actually showed their physical forms to him. These three pokemon, known as the Regi’s, Regirock, Registeel, and Regice, whirled, twirled, dove, and flew around in a constant circle, all the while getting closer and closer to Alex. Just as they flew over his head, a tattered scroll fell to his feet, and then they vanished.

Taking advantage of the time before the usher could move again, Alex rushed down the remaining steps and flew through the sliding glass doors, with his Piplup in tow. Seeing the cars and people whizzing past, he knew that time had returned. Alex directed his attention to the scroll, which looked like it had suffered both water and fire damage. With shaky fingers, he untied the ribbon and read the two words that were written across its surface: Simac City. The boy had no clue what the purpose of this scroll was, but he did know one thing for sure: He was off to Simac City!

Alex didn’t know it yet, but there he would meet the remaining eleven children that would change the fate of the world forever!

[Gaby]

Setsuko kept humming a tune, not even noticing the Hoothoot nor the people that they just passed. She let the wind flow through her long, brown hair, unti, of course, she started to feel like she was slipping. At the same time, her mark started to glow brighter. Yet Setsuko didn't notice the mark, yet she could feel she was slipping. She quickly straightened herself up, yet, in a few seconds, she slipped again. She groaned, once again straightening herself and looking at Ryuunosuke.

"Stop that Ryuunosuke! You're gonna make me fall!"

Ryuunosuke looked behind him, at Setsuko, raising an eyebrow before looking back infront of him.

"What are you talking-"

Ryuunosuke was interrupted by a shriek of terror from Setsuko, who had slipped off from Ryuunosuke's back. She, luckily, landed on a branch. Unluckily, she was hanging upside down seven feet in the air. Ryuunosuke quickly flew down towards Setsuko, who was praying that she wouldn't fall. And that if she did, that she wasn't caught by a boy. She suddenly yelled out at the top of her lungs,

"SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP MEEEEEEE!"

---

"SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP MEEEEEEE!"

It was faint, but Akio managed to hear it. By luck the scream came from near the tunnel, so they didn't need to sidetrack too much if they went to check. The main reason Akio wanted to check was because the voice was similar to...

"Setsuko..."

"Tsubame, do you mind if we go check where that yell came from?"

Tsubame sighed, changing her course and flapping her wings slightly faster. Akio looked down and saw a girl and a Flygon ready to take off. He decided to ignore them, continuing their way towards where the yell came from.

"Something tells me... we're close..."

"You know this how?"

"Gut feeling..."

"Oh..."

[Saraibre Ryu]

I heard the scream as well. It was obviously a girl, but Tearess had become suddenly extremely interested in it.

Can we go and investigate please? She begged.

"No, we need to find out where we are first." I answered.

But Shoku is doing that. Please? She continued.

She was giving me the cute pleading look that would make an angry Rhydon stop rampaging.

"Oh fine." I said, my attention moving to a flock of familiar Honchcrow ahead of us, following where the Dragonite rider was heading.

This can't be good. I thought, as my mark on my hand still got coller. Not uncomfortable, but more a relaxing but noticable kind of cool.

Could there be others besdies me? I'll only know when Shoku explains this all to me.

Alex had been walking for about two hours or so, along the gold-lined streets of Iklex City, sticking his left thumb out every so often to get a taxi. Of course, none ever stopped, why should they for some dumb kid that probably didn't even have any money?

Violet, the Piplup had long since been returned to her pokeball to rest from her most recent contest. This made it all the easier for Alex to study the map on his poketch, as he had been doing every ten minutes. Judging by the large gap between his position and the ferry at the ocean's edge, he still had a couple hours worth of walking ahead of him.

stupid taxi's Alex thought, knowing that if he were in their position, he wouldnt pick a strange kid up either. He checked the map again. As his eyes read over the surface of the watch, he noticed that an alley that could serve as a shortcut was coming up in a few steps. Without even looking up, he turned to the right, only to be shrouded in the gloom of the dank alley. His footsteps squished against the muck that was strewn across the entire ground. Seeing the lighted exit a couple yards away, Alex quickened his pace, something about this alley felt weird. As he took another step into the muck, he stopped. Was that a groan he heard? Another moan confirmed that thought. He whipped around just in time to witness the repulsive shape of a Muk rising out of the slop on the ground.

"Oh crap!" Alex thought out loud.

Ryuunosuke sighed, grabbing Setsuko and flying down to the ground, gently setting her down. She smiled at him, rubbing Ryuunosuke's head as a way to show her thanks.

"Thanks Ryuunosuke... and sorry I thought it was you..."

Ryuunosuke yawned, not really caring. He looked behind him, then looking at Setsuko and nudging her shoulder.

"Setsuko... look..."

Setsuko turned around, looking at where Ryuunosuke said. She starred at the boy that was standing there, her eyes starting to get teary as she started to walk towards...

---

Akio finally reached the area and let go of Tsubame's foot, landing on the ground. Tsubame flew towards his shoulder, resting her wings and yawning. Akio saw the Dragonite pick up Setsuko, yet he couldn't identify her. He started walking up towards Setsuko, to ask if she was alright. He froze, however, when the Dragonite looked at him, then said Setsuko's name.

"Setsuko... look..."

She turned around, her eyes getting teary as she started to walk up towards Akio.

"Setsuko...?"

By the time Akio finished this sentence, Setsuko had already tackled Akio, hugging him like a maniac.

"Akio! I can't believe it! It's you! It's you, it's you, it's you!"

Akio was trying to hold in turning his face red. He sweatdropped, trying to get up, yet failing as Setsuko kept hugging him like a maniac. Tsubame was laughing, standing on a tree branch.

"I... missed you too Setsuko..."

Setsuko blinked twice, now noticing what she was doing. She quickly let go of him, twitching her fingers together and blushing.

"Oh... I'm sorry Akio..."

Setsuko stood up, scratching the back of his head and sweatdropping.

"Nah... it's okay..."

Tearess and I were just about a few feet away from the flock of Honchcrow, but they were just about to ambush the other two trainers. Luckily, Tearess and I were crazy dare devils at a drastic time like this. Looking at each other smugly, I jumped out infront of her, and she grabbed me with her front claws. She rushed at the flock as they began to dive, then threw me, yes me, at one of the Honchcrow. I grabbed it by its talons, knocking it off balance along with its followers and the one I was hanging onto crashed into a tree.

The bird Pokemon came crashing to the ground as I got stuck in a branch, hanging upside down by my foot.

"Great. This is convenient." I thought out loud. "Oh no."

The mass of black birds were angry now and had all intention of pumelling me with Peck or Wing Attack. I got myself unstuck, only to come landing on my head with my legs right up against the tree. Tearess came to my rescue and shot the Honchcrow away with Dragonbreath.

"Alright Tearess!"

She smiled at me happily. But then to follow the Pokemon were none other than the same Sadora Police members from last night.

"There they are, Get 'em!" One of them cried from a Fearow. Tearess stood next to me.

Fight or flight? She asked.

"Both." I answered jumping onto her back.

[SuperBoy]

The snowstorm was raging in SnowPoint City. Of course there were always blizzards, but this one was out of control. Trainers came out of their houses with the biggest winter coats ever. Other trainers were very sensitive and caught frostbite. The snowstorm was all over SnowPoint City, except for Lake Acuity.

"It's a wonder why this lake is never cold. It's all because of that wish I made, huh Jirachi? That wish that I made keeps me warm when I'm feeling very cold. You too Deoxys. You're so powerful and mysterious, yet you come here daily to spend tome with me. It's just so weird."

Lake Acuity was home to a mysterious pokemon. Joseph had made a wish for Lake Acuity to never catch blizzards and for his body to heat up at times of need. Jirachi granted those wishes. Deoxys and Jirachi hung around Joseph all of the time. They loved him for no apparent reason. Who would think that Deoxys has feelings at all? Joseph had a strange mark on his wrist that got cold whenever Jirachi and Deoxys came near. He loved them and they loved him in return. Today was the day when Joseph was setting out on a journey in the new region of Sadora. He didn't know whether Jirachi and Deoxys would accompany him any longer. He told them that he would miss them dearly and that he would never forget them.

"You two are the best. I'll miss you guys a lot. Hopefully, I'll get to see you two around in the new region of Sadora, that is if you choose to visit me. Ha ha...Well I better set out."

Joseph hugged both pokemon as they each shed a tear down their faces. Joseph put on his thick winter coat and set out. What he didn't know was that Jirachi and Deoxys would be seeing him soon. To soon...

It was blazing hot throughout the deep forest's Robin was passing through, He was currently riding on the back of his Meganium called Blade.

How you doing Blade?, Need a rest?

Blade shook its head with a happy smile, Im fine.. He said.

Robin was heading for a ship to get to Sadora, While he was riding he heard the call of Celebi a mysterious legendary pokemon, Robin had heard the calls many times before and has seen Celebi a number of times.

Hmm, Blade stop for a moment, He said handing Blade some fruit and some water, Right, Come on out guys, Robin released 2 other Pokeballs containing Axari a Jolteon and Kix a Swampert.

Take a break for a few minutes and stretch you legs.

Robin then stared up at the sky, A shimmer of light took place just above him, Then all of a sudden Celebi came down from the skies, Robin had called it Fai, As he thought it was a great name for it.

Hey Fai long time no see, So what brings you here this time?

The Celebi smiled and flew around Robin then whispered, I wa'nt to travel with you to Sadora, May I please?, It put on an innocent cute look which noone would be able to resist.

Robin smiled, Why Ofcourse you can Fai, It will be excellent having you along with us.

Yay, Thankyou so much Robin, Fai then sat on Robin's shoulder and clung on to him.

Alright guys, Lets get going, Come on Blade we're nearly there, Oh and everyone, We're having Fai travel with us from now on.

They all smiled and as they were put back into there Pokeballs, Blade then set off with Robin on top and Celebi floating along side them.

I ca'nt wait until we get to Sadora this adventure is only just beggining.

OOC: Must I say again that you do not start with your legendaries right away. You need to find where the Council has hidden them first due to the plot.

[SuperBoy]

OOC: I understand that. I'm just having them no me and be my friends. My character doesn't know that they'll become mine and that the Council hides them first.

[MewsoBlue]

(ooc: Sorry I've taken so long to post, my computer was gliching)

A soft gentle breeze rose up, stirring the sands of a small strip of beach. The waters of the ocean were stirred from their glassy stillness, rippling into slight waves that lapped at the beach, starting to erase a set of footprints that lay along the waters edge. The footprints traveled down the beach, keeping to the edge of the water, until they veered inland a few feet, leading up to a figure sitting upon the sand, gazing out upon the waters.

The figure was that of a teenage girl, of about eighteen years of age. The breeze stirred her long earth-brown hair, causing it to dance in the air behind her. Her skin was lightly tanned by the sun, the result of long hours spent out of doors. On her head a green bandana was tied, a white pokeball symbol arranged so that it was face frontward. A lose black tank-top ruffled slightly in the wind, with its odd blood-red marks shifting around as it blew. A pair of dark grey, and rather well worn jeans was supported by a small belt, onto which three pokeballs were clipped, signaling the girls status as a pokemon trainer. The girl, Tarisha Jansho by name, gazed out at the ocean with her sky-blue eyes, immersed in thought.

“Where are they?” Was her primary thought, followed by “Why can’t I enter?”. For years, Tarisha had been chasing after the three legendary beasts of Jhoto, Suicune, Raikou, and Entei. Once, when she was so close to finding them, she almost lost her life in the search, but was saved by the beasts. Now, though she had scoured the regions for them, they seemed to have vanished. Their was only one placed left that she had yet to search, the Sadora region. She had already tried once to enter the region, and had found its boards guarded by men who refused to let her past. Now, she sat alone on the beach, looking out across the ocean towards where she knew Sadora lay, wondering. Where were the beast? Why was she not allowed into the Sadora region? What else could she do? Frustrated, Tarisha lay back on the sand with a sigh. She was tired, and it wasn’t long before the gentle sound of the waves and the heat of the sun’s rays sent her into a deep sleep.

Tariha slept under the mid-day sun, and as she slept, she dreamed. In her dreams, she saw the legendary beasts. But something was wrong. They were crying out, but she could not understand their words. But from their cries, she could tell they were in pain. Shadowy figures stood around them, though Tarisha could not make any features out. All of the shadowy figures were looking up at the legendary beasts and smiling. Tarisha tried calling out, trying to make them stop, but she could make no sound. However, just then, all three legendary beasts looked right at her, and spoke one word. “Sadora”

Tarisha sat up with a gasp, sweating under the sun. “A dream, it was only a dream.” She said to herself, still shaking slightly. However, as she looked down, she saw a strange mark had appeared on her hand. Three circles, all joined in the middle, with three paw-prints in the center. Tarisha stared in shock, then reached down to her belt. She knew what she had to do now.

Tarisha unclipped a pokeball from her belt, and opened it. In a flash of red light, a large blue dragon apperd, its red wing flaring outwards. It was Tarisha’s Salamence. Swiftly, she climbed up on its back. “We’re going to Sadora.” She said to the dragon, patting its neck. The salamence nodded, then took flight, flying full speed to Sadora.

OOC: I understand that. I'm just having them no me and be my friends. My character doesn't know that they'll become mine and that the Council hides them first.

OOC: Sorry, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about hunchcrew. Should of said that. Sorry. It okay as long as you post Mew.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: Oh sorry, I'll twist the story to make it fit in do'nt worry.

IC:
After a long trip Blade finally came to a grinding hault, Staring up at the ship he looked they were finally at the ship.

Im...Im so sorry... Fai said as it drifted towards the sky,

Robin was looking up wondering what was going on, Fai?, What's happening?

After that the Celebi has disappeared, A twinkle of light shimmered down before him and soon went away.

Alright guys, We need to get to Sadora that's for sure.

They all climbed onto the ship as it set sail, Robin clung on to his Pokeballs and stared out to sea, Thinking to himself,

I wonder what's going to happen when we get to Sadora...

[NeonTrainer]

Andrew waited for an answer but then he heard the cries of the legendary birds. He heard Zapdos's first, then Articuno's, and lastly Moltres's. "Armaldo, did you hear that? I'll have to go." Andrew said running off to where the cries were sounded. Andrew made some turns and sometimes ran straight to find his way through Simac City but he couldn't. "Look Andrew." ; Armaldo pointed at the sewer. "What about it?" "Send out Floatzel, maybe Floatzel can go through the sewer line and find a way out of here." "Well alright, go Floatzel" Andrew yelled through a pokeball into the air releasing Floatzel. "Floatzel, go through this sewer and see if theres a way out." "Through the sewer?! Do you know whats even in there?!! No way!"

"Well ok, you win Floatzel." Andrew said looking away but then pushed Floatzel in. Before Floatzel could hit the sewer water, he used Aqua Jet spinning around with water covering most of Floatzel. Floatzel speeded through the sewer looking for another way out.

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: I really need Gaby to post after this.

IC: Tearess was in a quare face off with the Police mounted on a Fearow and another officer on a Crobat.Without warning my blue Flygon went and head bashed the Fearow using Dragon Rush. Then the Crobat saw this as a chance to strike with a Wing Attack, but Tearess swerved around it and countered with Dragonbreath. Our good fortune was not to last however. The Fearow attacked Tearess with Drill Peck, knocking me off of her while the other person trapped her in a net. Between my and the ground, I had a good hundred feet to fall before a painful welcom from the ground. I thought that I would really end up in trouble, but there was an uplifting force that stopped me in midair. I was being held up by some invisible force. After thinking for a second, I knew who it was.

"Well hi Twyla, you couldn't of been her at a better time!"

She turned visible and smiled happily. Unfortunately, Tearess was caught too late by the arrival of Shoku and they both crashed, getting a shock from the net. He came back up, and I got onto Twyla's back. Shoku turned visible as well and wasn't happy.

"Alright lets tell these people who they're messing with!" I exclaimed. "Mist Ball and Luster Purge!"

They both began to charge forward, me almost falling off because of Twyla's sudden speed. They both formed a sphere of light energy in their claws.

"Crobat Air Cutter!"

"Fearow Mirror Move Crobats attack!"

There moves proved to be too late to attack as Twyla's and Shoku's attacks were coming at them at blinding speed. With that blow, Fearow and Crobat became too weak to fly any longer, but their mounts tried to flee the area. There was a large crash in the distance. Twyla flew about happily in a summersault, then catching me again in the nick of time before I fell again.

"You know, right now I'm not liking gravity all that much." I commented.

Twyla laughed at my remark. We better go back down there and find Tearess.

I nodded looking at Shoku. "You have some explaining to do."

Yes I know, all in good time.

[Gaby]

OOC: And post I shall!

IC:

After a lot of catching up, they both asked the same thing at the same time.

"So why did you come to Sadora?"

They both blinked twice, laughing a bit before Setsuko answered first.

"Well... remember Mioki? She told me about this place and I decided to come over! What about you Akio-Kun?"

When he was going to answer, the sudden feeling that they weren't alone flushed through him. He quickly grabbed Setsuko's hand and ran to behind a tree, holding Setsuko close to him.

"Stay quiet... we're not alone..."

Tsubame flew towards the same tree, hiding in the leaves and watching with her big, red eyes. She noticed the incredible blush Setsuko had, which almost caused her to laugh. She slowly looked up at Akio, trying to hide her blush.

"O-Okay... I'll be... quiet..."

Akio kept watching over his shoulder, wondering who exactly was he feeling. He tried to hide the fact that he was starting to blush by moving his face, out of Setsuko's view. Setsuko had noticed the blush already, in which she smiled ad kept quiet, not saying a word.

OOC: That's your cue Saraibre? If memory serves, your charry was close to mine, but I'll edit the post if need be.

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: Yay! Finally interaction!

IC: Twyla put me back on solid ground, kind of embarassed that she almost threw me off of her back without her remembering that I was on her.

"Oh forget about it." I said. "As long as I'm not flat it alright. We'll have to work on that later."

Shoku looked over, hearing some movement a ways off. He looked at Twyla and they both nodded, turning invisible once again. I knew that if it was the Police again, we'd give them a surprise attack. If it wasn't, thats why they were invisible, so no one would see them.

"Alright lets go and find Tearess." I said, looking like I was talking to no one in particular.

We all went our separate ways, covering more ground would get the job done quicker. After walking for a few minutes, I saw sings of struggle and a familiar tail end coming out of a bush.

"Tearess is that you?" I asked.

She poked her net covered head out of the bush. It sure is! Now can you get me out of this net, its quite uncomfortable.

"Yeah, just hold on a second. Wait, why can't you cut it yourself, you have claws." I stated.

The flygon looked at her claws. Should of thought of that.

"No, you think?"

She took a little while cutting herself free, but it eventually she cut a hole big enough for her to escape her rope prison from. I heard faint voices from somewhere in the clearing. Tearess looked around in a most interesting manner, trying to determin where it was coming from. She tried walking around on her own to feet, but the shock from the net made her dizzy and she accidentaly head bashed the tree that I found two trainers standing behind.

"Hi." I said. "Can I help you with something?"

[SuperBoy]

Joseph had traveled a few miles and was not cold due to the wish that he made to Jirachi. The rest of Joseph's team were safely inside their pokeballs. After Joseph got far enough, it seemed as if his wish to be warm was wearing off.

Joseph decided that it would be a great idea to set camp and contineue the following day. He was tired of t raveleng for one day and was hungry also. He grabbed a little snack out of his bag and tore the wrapper open. Once open, he wenet from mini bites to monstrous bites, because of hunger.

After a few minutes of eating the snack, Joseph set up his tent an dlayed his sleeping bag inside. He changed into his sleeping clothes and climbed into the bag. He gently lay his head on the fire and turn off his lanter, so there would be no waste of oil. After a few hours of sleep, the mark on his wrist started to glow. He ran out side of his tent and looked around. Coming down from the sky like a shootong star was Jirachi and Deoxys.

"I know eiet's only been a day, but I miss you guys so much! Well since your here, might as well make tehe wish soon as possible. Jirachi, I wish for you to transport me teo the region of Sadora!" Jirachi granted Joseph's wish and took him and his pokemon to the new region of Sadora. When Joseph landed he was excited, because all of this was a new experience for him. This was nothing like Sinnoh and definetely not the same as SnowPoint City.

"Ha ha! Simac City, here I come!" Jirachi and Deoxys left.

[Gaby]

Setsuko kept starring at Akio's eyes, sudden;y going into a daydream. The two of them, walking hand by hand in Sandgem's beach. She wanted to squeal, yet a voice behind them made her wake up from her daydream. Akio's hair just stood on end when he heard the voice.

"Hi. Can I help you with something?"

The two of them quickly let go of each other, Akio passing his hand through his hair and Setsuko twitching her fingers together. The two of them looked up at the newcomer, sorta embarrassedly.

"Hi... uhm... what's your name...? I'm Setsuko... Setsuko Kalamite..."

"Name's Akio Hakimuga... and you sure caught us by surprise there..."

Tsubame flew out of the leaves, flying down to Akio's shoulder and standing on one foot on said shoulder. She nodded, flapping her little wings in greeting.

"I'm Tsubame! I'm Akio's trusted companion! And I'm pretty strong for an ordinary Hoothoot!"

Akio rolled his eyes, muttering something under his breath.

"Showoff..."

Tsubame easily heard and glared at Akio.

"Hey, be thankful I can carry your weight when I fly!"

"Well... what's your name?"

OOC: Setsuko is talking to your charry, Saraibre, btw

[Saraibre Ryu]

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm Rikku Takara. And this..." I answered, looking over at Tearess.

She was too dizzy to even keep her head upright. She sat against the tree in a blank daze. I found this embarassing, knowing my most aerial co-ordinated Pokemon was now unable to keep herself standing without falling over.

"This is Tearess. We just had a mishap during our flight, thats why she's so dizzy."

Weren't we following one of them before? The Flygon asked, not really knowing which way I was.

I was about to answer, but there was a comotion in the bushes where we had just come from. Out of it came the same officer from the battle with the Fearow. Only he wasn't in a poloce uniform, but now a Team Rocket uniform.

"What do I have to do, get a restraining order against you?" I exclaimed.

"You're going to pay for that crash you caused." He threatened. "Go Electivire!"

The huge yellow and black pokemon emerged from its Pokeball, electricity brimming from its fur.

Okay, there is something going on thats bigger than I thought. I explained to myself. And my onle Pokemon thats immune to electric types is already out. Unless I use...no, I better not.

"Go Torrent!" I called out.

Out came my now extremely intimidating Feraligatr. The Rocket member looked at me like I was crazy.

"Your two friends aren't around to help you now?" He questioned mockingly. "Thats too bad."

Without warning a massive Thunderbolt attack was launched at Torrent. Tearess tried to get up, but I told her to recover from the net. Torrent moved out of the way just in time, but the other officer who was riding the Crobat appeared in the same Rocket uniform, having a familiar Houndoom and Golbat.

"If you're up to it, help would be greatly appreciated." I asked the other two.

[HorrorScope]

Robin started to walk away from the point where he was staring out to sea from,

I need some companyt as this may be a long journey, Axari come on out!

A shine of bright light occured as Robin's Jolteon Axari was sent out.

Thankyou Robin, It's nice to get out sometimes, Axari smiled and followed Robin to the top deck, He handed Axari some small pellets of food, It ate them happily and sat down.

A strong gust of wind came across them as they were up the top of the ship, Robin clung onto a rail and so do Axari.

Hmm, That was a bit too strong to be normal wind... He remarked.

All of a sudden a white and orange light filled the sky, He gazed up in amazement as he knew this could only mean one thing, Lugia and Ho-Oh were closely upon them, He heard more calls of the legendary Pokemon from the sky like he had all his life.

What's this..? Robin said as a mark was appearing on his left hand, It took up the shape of a Shrine like figure, It started to glow brightly up into the skies, Wow, I wonder what this is, Could it mean tha-, Robin's words came to a pause as a huge horn was pulled and echoed around the whole ship.

After all that they departed the ship as they were now in Sadora, His adventure would now continue on from here, Axari looked up at him and gave a pleading look as it said, May I stay out for a little while longer to explore this new place with you please?

Robin gave in and smiled at his Jolteon, Certainly Axari were in this together.

[Gaby]

OOC: Okay, in the SU, I know I put Tangela, but I meant Tangrowth x_x

Green = Mio/Tangrowth
Plum = Chou/Butterfree

Setsuko and Akio looked at each other, nodding before reaching for their belts. Akio took out a Quick Ball while Setsuko took out a Net Ball.

"Of course we're up to it! Let's go Chou!"

"Mio, you're up! And Tsubame, you'll sit this one out, 'kay?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

They both threw their respective Pokeballs in the air. Out of the Quick Ball came a Tangrowth and from the Net Ball came out a Butterfree.

"Finally! Some freedom! And a battle too! Akio, you don't know how long I've been wanting this!"

"Setsu-Chan... you rock..."

Setsuko grinned confidently, looking at the Crobat. She then pointed her finger at it, looking at Chou.

"Well, enough chit-chat! Chou, use Psychic on that Crobat!"

"Okay! Here goes!"

Chou's eyes turned purple as a purple aura started to surround the Crobat. Then, a sudden shake in the earth happened, like an...

"Mio! Earthquake!"

"Anything ya say boss!"

Since Chou was a flying type, it wouldn't hit her. But, it meant bad news for the Electivire, the Houndoom... and Torrent. Mio slammed her foot into the ground with force, causing the ground to shake madly.

"Oh, before I forget, nice to meet'cha Rikku!"

"Yeah! Same here!"

[Saraibre Ryu]

Torrent smirked and added to the Earthquake attack with his own.

"Electivire jump and Thunderpunch!"

"Crobat Aircutter, Houndoom Flamethrower the overgrown vine knot!"

At this point, there was an attack going for everyone. Thunder Punch was coming at me that I could hit the Electivire with with Hydro Pump, also stop the Flamethrower with the same attack. I thought how I could get two with one shot.

"Torrent jump and use Hydro Pump!" I commanded.

Torrent jumped just as the electivire landed, pumeling it into more of the Eathquake with Hydro Pump. The force was so great it made him move upward into the air.

"Finish it off with Mud Sport and Aqua Tail!"

Torrent sprayed the Electivire in a mass of mud then before it could look up, slammed down hard on it with a powerful tail strike.

That wasn't any challenge. He grunted. Don't under estimate a Water Pokemon with power.

"We aren't done yet, stay focused!" I called out. "Nice to meet you two too!"

[Gaby]

OOC: Wait, did Torrent stop the Flamethrower?

IC:

Chou watched as the Air Cutter attack came straight for her, yet Setsuko didn't give an order. That's when it hit Chou, she knew what she was planning.

"Now! Tailwind!" (http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-dp/tailwind.shtml)

There was a sudden gust of air that blew straight behind Chou, giving her a speed boost. She flew up, dodging the Air Cutter, flying back down and now behind the Crobat.

"Now, Psychic Ball!"

Chou made a Shadow Ball infront of her, shooting it straight towards Crobat. Then, her eyes went purple again, the Shadow Ball now turning the same shade of purple. It flew even faster now, only a few seconds away from Crobat. Setsuko looked at Akio, noticing his face of confusion.

"I may not be a coordinator, but I sure know how to combine moves!"

OOC: I didn't post in Mio's side because I don't know if the Flamethrower was stopped or not, and I hope it's not bad that my charries' Pokemon can combine their moves together.

[HorrorScope]

Robin and his Pokemon were now headed into deeper parts of Sadora, He was taking a look at a lot of the wildlife around him, All of a sudden a quick burst flew from the sky as a net surrounded Axari.

Axari!, Do'nt worry I'll get you!

He sprinted after two people in black suits carrying his Jolteon, Hey get back here!, What do you think you're doing with my Pokemon!, Let's go Blade!

Out came his Blade his Meganium, Robin hopped on the back of it and started towards the crooks, To his notice the crooks had then sent out some Pokemon ready for a battle, They had been lead right into a cave where it was damp and mucky.

Hey Kid, We do'nt want you messing with us ok?, Go Aggron!, And Go Magneton!

You're gonna regret you ever messed with me!, Come on out Kix!, Out came his Swampert, Lets do this 2 on 2 then, Blade, Kix you ready?

They both nodded with great confidence.

Alright!, Kix use Water Pulse on Aggron, And Blade use Bullet seed at Magneton!

Kix went straight in and got a direct hit that weakened the Aggron.

Aggron, Get back up then use Hyper Beam!

The Glowing coming from Aggron ready for a huge blast ment that Robin only had one thing to do.

Kix use Hyper Beam aswell!

The two beams of light collided and a blast knocked them both ofcourse.

Meanwhile Blade used Bullet Seed to try and get a Hit on Magneton.

Magneton dodge it and go in with Shock Wave!

Blade took a furocious hit but it was not put off by it, Use Solar Beam at full power! It took a little while to charge up but it finally came and a huge blast went straight for Magneton, It took a huge hit and fell to the floor, Aggron and Kix were both unable to fight so they go returned immeadiatly.

Kix return good job return, We'll done to you too Blade great job.

The Crooks then treid to sprint away but Robin was'nt in the mood this time, Blade Vine whip!, It wrapped the vines around the crooks and slammed them against the wall, Releasing Axari in the bag.

Now Blade razor leaf to open the bag!, It tore open and Axari hopped out and shook itself around.

As for you crooks, Do'nt ever come near me or my Pokemon again got that?, They mumbled and ran off.

Now lets get out of here and away from this area.

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: No torrent didn't stop the Flamethrower, and yes you can combine your moves Gaby since you're a co-ordinator. I'll let you post your other charry's POV before I post again.

[MewsoBlue]

Tarisha sat mounted on her Salamences back as it flew over the vast featureless surface of the ocean. Below her, she could make out the shapes of schools of water pokemon, and occasionally could see the spouts of Wailord surfacing for air, and spot the serpentine shape of a Gyarados. If she hadn’t been so eager to get to Sadora, she might have tried to capture a few of the water types she saw below, but as it was, she simply urged her Salamence to fly faster.

Finally, she could make out the dark shape of a landmass on the horizon. Sadora, it was there. She patted her Salamences neck as it flew onward, the landmass on the horizon coming swiftly closer. Soon, she could make out the terrain she was heading for, and after a short while, the waters beneath them started becoming significantly shallower, and slowly made way into the soft sands of a beach. Still. Tarisha and her Salamence flew on. She knew these boundaries would be guarded, and she needed to get inland swiftly to avoid patrols. Just then however, her Salamence slowed, gazing down at the terrain below.

“What is it?” Tarisha inquired, speaking up to be heard over the sound of her Salamences wingbeats.

“Below.” It said simply, its gaze not wavering.

Tarisha looked down, and saw several swiftly moving forms, accompanied by several flashes of light, and then a small explosion.

“A pokemon battle.” She breathed.

Without having to be told, her Salamence banked, and started to circle lower for a better view.

[Bryce]

OOC: sorry i took so long to post

Dark Green:Alex
Orange: Violet/Piplup
Dark Blue:Velo/Luxray
Purple: Yonda/Milotic
Brown: Rubell/Regirock
Light Green: Lustro/Registeel
Yellow: Polad/Regice
Pink: Any other character

IC:

Alex looked down in pure disgust at the huge Muk that lay squirming and wiggling before him. Without warning, it threw yet another ball of smoking grime at him, and splattered against the wall behind him like the last.

"This is getting ridiculous, come on out Velo!" Alex said calmly, tossing a shimmering ball at the Muk. He was surprised to see that the gross pokemon absorbed the pokeball! But, without fail, red light erupted in front of his eyes and Velo, a handsome Luxray squeezed out of the Muk.

"There you are, use Thunderbolt!" Alex screamed, and in unision with its trainer's words, Velo rose into the air and fired a pure bolt of electricity at the Muk, causing it to recoil in pain and slouch against the wall.

"I've got this now!" Velo laughed, turning to Alex and waiting for his command.

"Finish it off with CRUNCH!" Alex yelled out that last word and the Luxray dodged and dove its way over to the slime pokemon and bit down hard on its head, causing it to black out.

"Shall we catch it?" Velo asked in a deep, gruff voice.

"Yeah right," Alex laughed, disgusted at the thought of capturing such a repulsive pokemon. "Let's just get to the ferry," he continued, walking out of the alley, into the blinding sunlight of the outside. Gazing around, he asked, "Now where is that ferry?"
With a groan, he soon saw a sign at the water's edge reading: FERRY CLOSED!

"Oh well," Alex groaned. "I guess we'll have to take the alternative way," he continued, while pulling out Velo's pokeball and returning him. While still feeling around in his shirt pocket, he grabbed a second pokeball and threw it out at the overlapping waves on the shore. Out came a sleek, beautiful Milotic, which sighed with pleasure at finally getting out of its pokeball.

The boy jumped upon her back saying, "Okay Yonda, off to Simac City!"

She responded with the usual, "Hang on tight!" Her voice was pure and smooth, that of which you would expect from a model. And they were off toward their destiny!

[HorrorScope]

Axari, Are you ok after all that, Robin said with a concerned look.

The Jolteon smiled and said, Im fine.. I wanted to attack those crooks so bad though!

Yeah we took care of them though.

They carried on walking through Sadora, They were headed to Simac City first to meet some others, Robin then started saying, We need some better transport than our feet, Better start looking for a train of some sort.

Axari nodded in agreement, They both set off looking for anything that would help them get there quicker, After a long time looking they found nothing, Just a lot of tourists.

[NeonTrainer]

OOC: I need huncrew to post after me.

IC: Floatzel came out of the sewer and fell onto the concrete pavement. "It stinks, bad down there!" Floatzel moaned holding its nose. "Well did you find a way out?" Andrew said. "Yes, to the north east theres a way out." "Ok return Floatzel." ; Floatzel was returned to its pokeball while Andrew and Armaldo ran to the north east. Soon after Andrew and Armaldo made it to the north east and found a person wandering around. The person had pokeballs on their belt and was looking for a way out.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps a trainer?" Andrew said walking up to Robin.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: I sure will post!

IC:
As Robin and Axari were tired after searching for some transport all that time they slumped against a wall, But then he noticed another person walk up to him and ask him a question, He assumed he was a trainer.

Oh Hi there, Yes I am a trainer and im guessing you are too?, Anyway I've only just got to Sadora off the ship and already had my Jolteon pinched by crooks, I got him back though, Anyway Im Robin from Mauville City and who might you be?

[NeonTrainer]

"Andrew, from Fortree City. Well I haven't got attacked by crooks yet." ; At that moment 2 men in black suits rolled into scene and the both of them threw one pokeball each releasing a Golem and Crobat. "I spoke too soon, so you wanna battle these punks Robin?" "Yeah, lets." "Rollout Golem!" yelled one of the men as Golem rolled quickly tearing up the ground as it progressed. "Water Pulse Armaldo!" ; A pounding wave of water launched out knocking away the Golem.

[HorrorScope]

Ok lets do this, We'll teach these guys not to mess with us, Axari return!

The Jolteon was returned and Robin unclicked a Pokeball from his belt, Lets see how you like this!, Go Kix!, Out popped his Swampert ready for battle.

Crobat use Wing Attack!

Kix Dodge it then follow up with Ice Beam!

A huge blast of Ice came from Kix as it knocked the Crobat out of the sky, The Crobat then got up and dived in for an Air Cutter, Robin laughed and simply pointed, Kix hit him hard with Ice Punch when he gets up close!

Crobat collided with the Swampert's fist and fell to the floor, Nice going Kix you sure showed him, Now as for you! Robin said pointing at one of the men in black suits, Your going to get out of here, But I'll help you with that, Kix use Hydro Pump! The Blast of water hit the man hard as he went flying into some bushes.

[Gaby]

OOC: Gah... sorry Saraibre, I forgot ._.;

IC:

Before Akio could react, the Flamethrower hit Mio head-on, pushing it back. It had burn marks in a lot of her vines, but she wasn't gonna give up. She shook it off, her vines starting to spread out.

"Mio, show that Houndoom what a good Brick Break is!"

Mio nodded and rushed over towards the Houndoom, jumping up before the red markings in her fingers started to glow white. She started to slam her fingers at the Houndoom with quite some force.

OOC: There we go...

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: Hee, I'm having fun on my Red game.

IC: Torrent without knowing continued his Aqua Tail attack and slammed it into the Houndoom's side. The other Rocket who own the Electivire threw out another Pokeball, releasing a Pidgeot.

"Use Twister!" He commanded.

The bird flapped its powerful wings and a massive twister was headed for Torrent. Out of nowhere a second one appeared mad of sand. Then there was a blast of green fire that landed head on the Pidgeot. Tearess had finally come back to her senses, thanks to the Earthquake attacks.

"Alright, now both of you use Giga Impact!"

With an all out charge, Tearess slammed into the Pidgeot, Torrent into the Houndoom.

Thats for being overly advantageous! Torrent exclaimed.

Adding to the Crobat, now every other Pokemon of the Rockets was down and out. They looked at their Pokemon in surprise and shock, then at us, who were ready for another wave. They returned there Pokemon and pushed a button on a pager. A navy blue helicopter appeared out of no where, dropping smoke bombs covering everything. It choked the air and it was difficult to breathe. Tearess flapped vigorously and blew the smoke away, but when we could see again, they were gone. I looked up to where the helicopter was.

"Well, that was fun." I said sarcastically.

Tearess jumped up and down happily in her victorious glow. Torrent glared up at where I was looking and snorted.

They show up again I'll smash that flying metal machine to bits.

[NeonTrainer]

"Lets finish this, Blast them with another Water Pulse!" ; A pounding wave of water knocked out the other man in black suit while the other ran away. "Good job Robin, now lets go, there might be more coming after us." ; He nodded his head and Andrew, Robin, Armaldo, Axari and Kix ran making turns and running straight till they ran into Torrent.

[Bryce]

Riding atop the majestic Miltoic's back was not comfortable, in fact Alex now sported aches and pains in various places on his body. He was relieved to see the waves in front of them clear to show a towering skyscraper, with its base resting on the land known as Simac City.

"Alright, Yonda, we've made it, now to get there quickly, use Aqua Tail!" Alex screamed above the crash of waves. Instantly, Yonda rose out of the water and her tail collided with the surface, causing them to shoot off toward the land at at least ninety miles per hour.

"Okay, Yonda that's enough, slow down!" Alex said as they were entering shallow water. Seeing as she was not slowing, Alex repeated the command. Again she did not stop, and Alex was worried now, for the water was only about 8 feet deep here and they were sure to crash. "YONDA STOP!!!" Alex yelled in her ear.

"I can't, something is wrong with the current in this area!" She screamed in return.

Thinking of nothing else to do, Alex pulled out her pokeball and braced himself for impact.
"Okay, return," he said weakly, feeling her slip out from under him. Suddenly he was sailing through the air toward the land, still going way too fast. It was at that moment that he hit the sand, scraping along for at least ten feet before stopping and groaning out of pain. His wrist hung limply, and it felt as though it were broken. Alex pulled himself to his feet with his free hand and dusted the sand from his body. Then, holding his hurt arm in his other, Alex crossed the beach and entered the streets of the city, only to be met by a group of people and pokemon rushing past.

"Hey, the exit is to the northeast!" A large Floatzel cried, as it ran in unision with its partner, who had at that moment just passed Alex. Alex glanced down, and was shocked to see that the boy had a strange mark similar to his on his hand.

"Wait, please help!" Alex screamed at the group, causing them to turn and look in his direction.

[HorrorScope]

Robin paused to see a trainer chasing after then,

Oh Hey there, Im Robin Who might you be?

The mark on his hand started to glow a bright white once again, Why does that keep happening?, Robin looked to the other trainer noticing a mark on him aswell, Hey, You have a strange mark too, Atleast im not the only one, Something strange is going on with these marks and im keen to know what it is, Anyway what was it you were asking for?

[Bryce]

Alex gazed down at his broken arm, on which was his own mark, which had just began to glow like it had never done before. It seemed to have something to do with coming in contact with another person who had a mark.

"Oh, um," Alex studdered, surprised by the suddeness of the question. "Oh, i just crashed on my Milotic, and i think my arm is broken, do you know if there is a hosptial or something nearby?" he continued, embarrassed by asking this question. "I seem to have run out of potions.

[Negative Zone]

OOC: Um, I'm a little lost. Could someone help me?

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: Basically, we've all started and Gaby's charrys and mine have met up in a forest some where, BryceBoy10's charry, Neon Trainer's charry and hunchcrews charry have met up and are in Simac city. Nothing plotly important had really happened yet. I need Gaby to post!!!

[Gaby]

Misaki grabbed Akio's hands, jumping up and down happily.

"We won Akio! We won! We won! We won!"

Chou and Mio sweatdropped, Chou flying up to Mio's head and resting ther, while Mio just laid down against a tree, yawning.

"Your trainer's a weird one alright..."

"True, but I love the crazy girl!"

Akio laughed, watching as Misaki let go of hs hands, laughing as well as she turned her head to look at Rikku.

"Well.. it wasn't just us alone... if it wasn't for Rikku, we'd have lost..."

Misaki sweatdropped, walking towards Rikku and bowing her head.

"Akio's right... thanks a lot Rikku-Chan!"

Akio walked up towards Rikku, also bowing his head.

"Yeah... thanks Rikku... so, where're you from?"

"Yeah, I wanted to ask too! Me and Akio are from Sandgem Town!"

OOC: Meh... my RP juices are empty today x_x

[Saraibre Ryu]

"You guys helped out too." I replied. "And I'm from Altomare."

There was a sudden force and I was nearly knocked over by some invisible jolt. After a second Twyla reappeared checking me to see if I was okay in a frantic worried matter. Shoku appeared after, looking accusingly at the other two.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine, now quit smothering me!" I exclaimed.

Oh if only we'd have gotten here sooner, none of this would've happened! She cried.

I looked over at Shoku. "No need to get all protective there, they didn't do anything bad."

Doesn't hurt to make sure. He commented.

But you're always like that.

I have to agree with Twyla. Tearess added.

Whos side are you on?

"Alright thats enough." I interjected.

Shoku did stop and looked over at the other two. He turned right around and faced them both.

You have marks as well don't you? He asked rhetorically.

I clicked into the conversation when the Latios said the word 'marks'.

"You mean like mine?" I asked, pulling off the gloved hand that my mark was hidden under.

It felt very cool like before and glew dimmly, as did the triangles on Twyla's and Shoku's chest.

[Gaby]

When Shoku mentioned the word "marks", Misaki's mark started to glow. She was also getting the feeling that her hand was submerged in sea water. She thought for a moment before raising her hand up, in view of everyone.

"Yeah... isn't it pretty? It reminds me of..."

She looked down for a moment, shaking her head and looking back up at Shoku.

"Nevermind..."

At the same time, Akio's mark started to glow, but it glowed in a more darker tone.

"Yeah... I have a mark too... but what's the point of these marks anyways?"

"Yeah... I've been wondering the same thing ever since I first saw it!"

Akio glanced at Shoku, then at Twyla. It was obvious they knew what was up. He walked up to Shoku, not a single look of fear in it as he stood face to face to him.

"Care to explain?"

Misaki saw everything, for some reason, her heart started beating fast as she looked at Akio.

"Wow... he's so... so brave... and cute too... I can't believe I never noticed this in Sandgem... wait.... why am I even thinking this?! Clear your thoughts and pay attention Misaki..."

[Saraibre Ryu]

"Yeah Shoku, start talking, you own all three of us an explanation." I added in.

Why couldn't you have explained this? The Latios asked looking at his sister.

Because thats your job. Twyla replied unconvicingly.

Shoku rolled his eyes. Anyway, there was an old myth that chosen children, joined together with the legensd of the lands would band together in the time of imminent disaster and purge the world of the blackened beings and those who made them.

Plain pokemon tongue is much appreciated please. Torrent interrupted, not quite following what Shoku was saying.

Those marks are those of legendary Pokemon, and you must find that legendary and get rid of this evil. Shoku continued, ignoring Torrents remark. There isn't much more to it than that.

We don't know anymore. Twyla added. All we know is that Rikku has our mark.

"Wait. I'm bonded to you two in someway to get rid of some unknown darkness thats fallen upon the regions and save the world?" I reiterated.

Torrent finally clued into what Shoku was talking about, Tearess shakking her head at him while the siblings looked at each other and nodded. There was an ackward silence before I went and broke it, hugging Twyla around her neck.

"Alright! "I exclaimed.

[Gaby]

Misaki was overjoyed, not because of the whole "saving-the-world" thing, but because she'd probably be reunited with Yusuki and Tsukiko, at least, that was what she felt. She looked up at Akio, who had more or less the same expression she had. She smiled, walking up to him and looking at Rikku.

Well... if you have Shoku and Twyla already Rikku-Chan... then can you come with us to see if we can find ours?"

Before Akio could speak, the hand with the mark suddenly pointed southeast, the direction where he and Tsubame were originally going. Shadow Pass. He tried to move his hand, yet it kept pointing in the same direction.

"Uhh... I think we've found our first destination then..."

Tsubame flew back on Akio's head, yawning as she flapped her wings.

"Perfect, we can go right now, yes?"'

"The sooner the better!"

Misaki looked slightly worried. What if there were more of the same people that attacked them over there? She thought for a moment before turning to Chou, motioning for her to fly towards her, which she did. She set herself down on Misaki's head, flapping her wings.

"Well... maybe we shouldn't just rush in... we could get in trouble, Akio-Kun! And that's the least I want happening!"

She blushed for a moment, muttering something under her breath.

"Especially to you..."

"Well... since Rikku DOES have Shoku and Twyla, we could make her decide! Or... whatever, just giving suggestions!"

Misaki thought for a moment, putting her finger on her lips. She kept it there as she spoke.

"Hmm... I agree with Chou... what about you Mio, Akio-Kun?"

"I don't see a problem with that..."

"Same, same... well, what do you say Rikku?"

[Saraibre Ryu]

"Its alright with me!" I answered. "By the way Shoku, where are we?"

In a coinsidental irony, Sadora. He answered.

"Okay, well, I never really got a chance to explore around here anyway, so we better find the nearest town and get a map of the entire area, maybe a specific one of where we're going so we don't get lost in wherever that is."

Tearess ignored my horrible sentence construction and thought about what Shoku explained, and the situation at hand.

Shoku, you said that there were other children right? She questioned.

Weren't you listening?

Yeah, yeah I was. That must mean there are other people with marks on their hands for the other legendary Pokemon as well. Maybe we should go find them first.

I don't care what we do as long as I'm in some sort of water. Torrent interrupted.

"Well, last time I checked, the nearest city was Simac City." I stated. "We could go there for directions, and maybe see if more of the 'myth children' are there. If not, we'll look as we go along."

Thats sound alright with me! Twyla said.

Yay, I get to go swimming! Surf time!

I thought for a second. Simac City was the first place I saw when we tried to explore the region, and it was on a small island. It wasn't that far of a surf ride away, but it took a little bit of time.

[Bryce]

OOC: Saraibre, i have a quick question....... In order to obtain your legendary pokemon you have to go to their location right? for example: Assisting Myth Pokemon are in Shadow Pass. I know you listed them all on the 1st page of the sign-ups, but there is no location for the Regi's. Where would they be?

[Saraibre Ryu]

OOC: Seeing as I forgot a couple places in Sadora, I added those two and edited my first post on the Sign Up page. Your team is found in the Isala Valley, to save you looking.

[Bryce]

OOC: Okay thanks, that has just been bugging me since i first signed up! Its all good though now.

I need huncrew to post so i can again!

[Draconic_Espeon]

OOC: Color Coding
Rin
Kenji
Daiki the Nidorino
Winna the Frosslass
Suzaku the Thundra

IC: The ground rushed by far below at a seemingly impossible speed. Rin was amazed by how fast Suzaku could fly, even with her riding him. A draconic Pokemon, though not strictly of dragon type, his leathery wings sliced through the air. Light blue spines on his neck rattled together under her fingers as the teen clung to her Pokemon's back. Sleek and gray, Suzaku could almost blend right in with storm clouds. Small front legs and larger back ones were pushed against his body for the least wind resistance, and his long tail whipped about behind him, governing their path.

Far behind was Kenji, Rin's adoptive brother, riding on his Tropius.

"Are we almost there, Suzaku?" Rin whispered quietly, unsure if the Pokemon could here her.

"Yes," his words drifted back to her. Yes, Silmac is not far away. Why, again, does Kenji wish to start there?"

"We have to begin somewhere, Suzaku," Rin said, smiling warmly. "We'll probably be a while. Kenji will want to check out local trainers and battling facilities. You know how he is."

"Yes, yes." Distractedly, the Pokemon lifted his blunt nose to the air, slit nostrils sucking in the smell. He remained quiet for several moments before finally speaking. "A storm brews. All the better that we reach Silmac soon. You humans don't like to be out in the storms." Rin caught the hint of humor in his voice. Thundra like rain and precipitation, but most especially enjoy storms. They dance in the winds and cascading rains, absorbing the lightning discharged and gathering strength.

"You'll be free to frolic once we reach the Pokemon Center."

"We need to find a place to stay, Kenji." Both Rin and Kenji had finally landed in Silmac. It was fairly busy looking, with a few large buildings, with restaurants, a PokeMart, and a Pokemon Center. It seemed the most likely place to stay, considering boarding was usually free for trainers or anyone who kept Pokemon.

"Why?" The older man asked, grinning. "Suzaku calling a storm again?"

"He doesn't call them, he senses them. There's a difference. And anyway, yes." Rin knew he was just joking, but she glared anyway.

"Okay, okay... I'll get the room, you get the food, okay? I'll meet you at the Pokemon Center." Kenji handed a few bills to Rin, smiling goodnaturedly, and walked over to the Pokemon Center. Rin shoved the money in her pocket and took two Pokeballs off her belt, releasing Daiki and Suzaku. The Thundra, quiet as always, nodded and flew off in search of his storm. Daiki, protective of his trainer, stayed near. Usually, Rin might release Winna, but many people found the presence of a Frosslass oddly distracting. To reduce stares, she released Daiki.

"Glad we're here," the Nidorino said coversationally. "I'm tired of sitting in that Pokeball and leaving you on your own."

"I am capable of taking care of myself, you know," Rin replied defensively. Sure, she could get herself in trouble occasionally, but...

"Yeah, yeah, sure. Just like the time you fell off Tamaki's back," he said, naming Kenji's Tropius.

"That was just a- oh, what's the use. C'mon, lets go get some food." Heading in a promising direction, the two went off in search of a good carry-out place.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: Sorry Bryceboy

IC:
Robin started gazing at his mark and Alex's, What's with these strange marks?, Anyway I think I passed a hospital just over there, Robin pointed east towards a towering building, Are you going alone?, Or shall I come?

The mark on his hand now started to calm down a bit, It went a deep black, He felt force thundering against him, I wonder what that was? Robin remarked to himself.

[NeonTrainer]

"Hm strange, lets find a hospital Robin." ; Robin nodded his head in aggrement. The group decided to find a hospital near by Simac City. As Alex ran blood dripped from his arm making it hurt worse so Alex held his broken arm with his other making way with Andrew and Robin as well as Armaldo. About 5 minutes and 48 seconds later they made it to a pokemon center. "Return Armaldo." Andrew said returning his Armaldo into the pokeball. Robin and Andrew helped Alex into the pokemon center. "Hello how may I help you?" Nurse Joy said smiling at the group. "He needs medical attention now." Robin said showing the blood on Alex's broken arm.

OOC: I need huncrew or BryceBoy10 to post after me.

[SuperBoy]

Joseph's mark on his wrist was gettintg strangely cold now and he needed to get it checked out immediately.

"Come on. Where can I find a hospital?!"

Joseph suddenly glanced over to the right to see a mysterious girl ignoring everybody put him. She couldn't be seen by other people, but was easily seen by Joseph. She stuck her finger out and pointed to the NorthEast, showing Joseph the hospital.

"Ahhh! It hurts now!"

Joseph ran as fast as he could into the hospital that Andrew, Alex, and Robin where in, busting the doors open as he rushed through. He quickly ran to the front desk.

"Please help! My...wrist it...hu..rts...some-"Josepyh had passed out at the front desk of the hospital."

OOC: Time for some character interaction with my character.:cool:

[NeonTrainer]

OOC: Andrew's new color code, Dark Orange.

IC: "Wow, you too?" Andrew said looking at his arm. "Oh dear, we need medical attention on these 2 men!" ; She pushed a button under the desk and a Chansey ran with 2 wheel chairs. Chansey and Nurse Joy placed them onto the chairs and took them to the same room. When they entered the room they saw the pink colored walls with flower detailed on them. On the left a desk for the nurse, while there were TVs placed against the wall and there were 2 beds seperated by a magneta colored curtain. Chansey placed Alex on the right side bed while Nurse Joy placed Joseph on the left side bed. Both were being taken cared of by Nurse Joy and Chansey.

[SuperBoy]

I'll be back on around 11:00 to 12:00. I give you the permission to bunny my character until then.

[NeonTrainer]

I'll be back on around 11:00 to 12:00. I give you the permission to bunny my character until then.

OOC: Ok then.

IC: Nurse Joy and Chansey left the room for a moment to attend other things. Andrew and Robin both looked at them, aching in pain. "Wow this must be serious, I wonder if they're going to be all right." ; Suddenly the window to the right broke and the 2 men from before broke through. "Think you can escape that easily from us. I don't think so!" one of them yelled releasing his Crobat. "Air Cutter!" ; Crescent shaped wind blades were releasing hitting everyone causing damage. The wind blade cut through the curtain hitting Joseph and Alex which caused a major damage to their arms. Andrew threw out 3 pokeballs releasing Armaldo, Skuntank, and Floatzel while Robin sent out his pokemon. "Alright, I guess were going to have to battle you ugly punks again." Andrew said charging with his pokemon towards the 2 men in suit.

OOC: I'll be back later.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: Neon... Can you not kind of control my charry please....

IC:
Robin looked up a laughed at the men again charging at us, You really think you can take me down?, Then your more stupid than I thought!, I'll takr the crobat again, Come on out Axari!,

Out came Robins Jolteon which had been through a lot that day, Axari, Now you can release all that anger, Attack Crobat with Shock Wave!

A huge release of energy came from Axari, The giant electrical wave startled the crobat making it dizzy, Let's finish this again with a Thunderbolt!

The finishing attack made by Axari knocked out the Crobat once and for all making it travel out the window, Perhaps I should teach you a lesson you'll never forget either? Robin commanded Axari to release an attack on one of the men.

This will teach you! Axari shouted as A huge Shock Wave hit the man hard as he thumped against the wall.

Robin then turned his attention to Joseph and Alex wondering if they were ok.

[Bryce]

The massive Air Cutter sliced into Alex, knocking him against the wall, now in even more pain than before. His arm dripped a steady stream of blood that seemed to have no end. Suddenly the door burst open and Chansey came strutting in holding a tray of medicines and antidotes, but was knocked aside by a second Air Cutter.

Alex couldn't just sit aside and watch the battle, even if he [I]were[I] hurt. Despite the horrible pains surging through his arm, he reached to his belt and pulled at some random pokeball, yanking it free and tossed it into the air. "Go!" he cried weakly, for just doing this took a lot of strength.

Just as he did this, one of the black-suited men stood up and released a Houndoom, for his Crobat was already knocked out.

Alex's thrown pokeball exploded into red light, and Violet, his Piplup emerged in a shower of bubbles.

Mustering all the strength he had, Alex yelled, "Violet, use Steel Wing!" Violet did this easily, knocking the Houndoom against the wall, where it lay unmoving.

"Hey thanks," Alex whispered to Robin and Andrew before blacking out.

[Gaby]

"Then it's decided! To Simac City we go!"

Akio returned Mio, putting her Pokeball back on his belt. He walked up to Rikku, nodding.

"Well, lead the way Rikku."

Misaki followed Akio, standing next to him and Rikku. Chou flapped her wings with excitement, as did Tsubame.

"And now..."

"Our adventure..."

Begins!"

Akio and Misaki sweatdropped, nodding in agreement while holding in their laugh.

OOC: I just woke up... wheeee... x_x

[NeonTrainer]

OOC: Ok, sorry huncrew.

IC: "Floatzel, Aqua Jet!" ; Floatzel spun at rapid speed engulfed in water heading towards the other person in suit. "Go, Golem Protect!" ; When Golem was released it created a green colored shield that protect it from Aqua Jet. Floatzel hopped back to Andrew. "Armaldo and Skuntank take care of Houndoom and Floatzel take care of Golem." "Very well then!" said Floatzel releasing a pounding wave of water. When the protect ended it knocked the Golem and the man in suit out the window. Floatzel jumped out the window heading towards the Golem. Meanwhile Armaldo and Skuntank were battling Houndoom. Armaldo launched a Water Pulse while Skuntank released a Sludge Bomb heading towards the Houndoom.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: That's ok Neon, Bye the way I've already taken care of crobat if you read the story...

[NeonTrainer]

OOC: That's ok Neon, Bye the way I've already taken care of crobat if you read the story...

OOC: I edited it.

[Saraibre Ryu]

Tearess yawned as I returned her to her pokeball. Torrent was quite pleased that he would get to go swimming again, even after the eventful night that we had the previous evening. We made our way through a forest, Shoku directing us to where the beach was so we could start making our way there. At some point the dirt turned to and and we could see an almost clear sky over a blue ocean. With no time to waste, Torrent took one huge jump into the water, getting Shoku and Twyla soaked.

"Alright, we might want to get there quickly." I said.

Why would that be?

"Look." I answered, pointing in the far distance.

There were dark storm clouds very far off. It was hard to tell what way they were going, but it looked like it was where we were going. After looking at it for a minute, I decided that it was going in the same direction we were, therefore we would miss it when we got to Simac, if not meet up with it after crossing the sea. I got onto Torrents back and looked at the other two.

"We should miss any bad weather." I stated. "Lets go."

[Bryce]

OOC: i need NeonTrainer or Huncrew to finish off that battle so that i can post again!

[HorrorScope]

Axari positioned himself in a battle stance to finish off the battle, Houndoom could only take one more hit and Axari was about to pounce.

Lets finish this!, Axari use Hyper Beam at houndoom!

A huge blast of power hit the houndoom hard as it went flying into a wall and shattered a couple of shelves.

Robin then noticed Alex was unconcious, Alex? Uh-Oh he needs medical atention!, Come on wake up! Robin said shaking Alex around.

Axari jumped over to the commotion and joined Robin trying to help Alex.

Robin, Is he going to be ok? Axari asked

[Bryce]

Alex didnt know how long he had layed there unconscious, all he knew was that when he had awaken, the sun had vanished from the sky and an eeire silence had fallen over the pokemon center. He sat up, feeling around in the darkness, turned on the bedside lamp and glanced down at his aching arm. It was wrapped in a blinding white cast, though the strange mark on his wrist could still be felt, as cool as an icecube. Violet was curled up in his lap, and upon shaking her, she stretched and squeaked, "You're awake!"

Her eyes were crusted over and she looked dazed. Alex also noticed that some of her feathers had been singed. "What happened?" he asked, only remembering that there had been an enormous Houndoom in the room.

"These men attacked, but we defeated them, there was this guy named Robin who was really worried about you, and he has been outside that door all night waiting," she explained, pointing her feathered wing at the dull hospital room door leading into the hall.

Alex struggled to his feet,(one of them was asleep) and walked over to the door. He opened it to reveal a boy about it age, who he had seen before. Alex wanted to say thank you, but the boy was slouched against the wall sleeping, with his jolteon by his side.

[Gaby]

Misaki groaned as she returned Chou, taking out Ryuunosuke's Pokeball and throwing it up. The jet black Dragonite yawned as he looked at everyone.

"Great... company... this day can't get any crappier..."

By the time Ryuunosuke finished that sentence, once again, Misaki was standing on his back, turning her head to look at Akio.

"Akio-Kun! Climb on! I'm sure Tsubame deserves a break!"

Akio let go of Tsubame's foot, allowing the Hoothoot to fly back down to Akio's shoulder. Misaki offered her hand to help Akio up, which he gladly accepted. Ryuunosuke smirked, keeping his head infront.

"Ah... so we got a couple of lovebirds with us..."

Akio glared at Ryuunosuke, while Misaki just blushed.

"I don't like her!"

"And I don't like him!"

They both looked at each other, turning their head away as Akio grabbed Misaki's hand, climbing on to Ryuunosuke's back.

"Let's just go to Simac..."

"Agreed..."

"Fine, fine... lead the way... uhh..."

"Rikku."

"Right, that..."

[NeonTrainer]

"Return, Skuntank and Floatzel." Andrew said returning them. "Andrew, I sense that they're in trouble, they need you." Armaldo said looking serious at Andrew. Andrew nodded his head and was about to leave till Armaldo spoke once again. "Don't you think you should tell them?" "..... I guess so." ; The group looked at Andrew with a face saying: "What the? What are you talking about?". "Alright, listen up. The reason I even came here to Sadora was to help my friends... the 3 legendary birds, they need me and I need you all to help me accomplish that."

[Saraibre Ryu]

Once everyone was ready to leave, Torrent stared off in the direction of Simac City.

"Now this isn't a race, so don't go all out." I said.

I won't. He replied unconvincingly as he started in a mad rush out to open water.

I held onto his back trying not to be blown by the force of the wind rushing at my face. After I had a good hold on him, I leaned in close so I wouldn't get blown over.

"I said not to go so fast!" I cried against the whistling wind.

And I'm not going 'so fast'. Only fast. He smiled.

He was always making sure of what people said. If someone wanted him to go slow, he would. If someone didn't want him to go really fast, he would just go fast. I had to rephrase alot of my sentences to get him to do exactly what I wanted without argument, except in a battle.

[MewsoBlue]

Tarisha watched the group battling below her in fascination. She watched the attacks traded between pokemon, and, as she noticed the uniforms on several of the battlers, almost joined in the fight.

“Rockets.” She hissed, glaring down at the action below. She hated Team Rocket. She had heard of the things they had done to pokemon in the past, and had seen evidence of their actions herself. She would have joined in with those fighting against them, but before she got her chance, the fighting was over. Smoke filled the area, and a Helicopter shot away from the area, rocketing away.

Tarisha considered going after it, but she knew that her Salamence would have a rather difficult time keeping up with the machine, especially if it was going far. Instead, she decided to keep an eye on the trainers below. She couldn’t quit make out what was going on, except she could see that they seem to be showing each other something in or on their hands.

Before she got a better look, the trainers were off, heading away. Tarisha, spotting a trainer and an odd-colored Feraligator racing away, decided to follow.

“Lets see whats going on.” She said to her Salamence.

Salamence nodded, then turned, beating its wings hard as they followed.

[Saraibre Ryu]

Torrent headr wingbeats behind us, getting an angry impression that the 'Sadora Police' were following them. He acted casual, not turning until they got close enough. I then heard wingbeats and turned around to find someone atop a Salamence. Torrent turned, began swimming backwards with his mouth open with a light blue orb forming inside it.

"Torrent! Stop!" I said, jumping onto his jaw.

His mouth shut quickly and I was flipped into the water. It took a moment for the speeding Feraligatr to stop and pick me up again. I shook my head of the water and climbed back on Torrent.

Sorry. He said rather embarassed.

"How many times do I have to tell you think before you act?" I asked rhetorically. "Your lucky you didn't launch your attack."

You didn't have to land on my head to do it. Torrent muttered as I knelt on his back.

"Oh yes I did."

Torrent swam slowly as I turned myself around.

"Hey! Can we help you with something?"

[MewsoBlue]

Tarisha sat on her Salamences back, keeping her eyes on the trainer that she had decided to follow. Really, she didn’t know why exactly she had chosen to follow anyone, except perhaps because she did not know her way around the Sadora region, and knew that she had a good chance of getting herself completely lost. True, just sneaking around behind some stranger and following them wasn’t exactly polite, but with Tarisha’s views on people, human contact was a thing best avoided.

Tarisha, caught in thought, did not notice that the trainer she was following knew they were there. She suddenly became aware of that however, when her Salamence suddenly banked sharply to the side, almost throwing her off.

Tarisha gave a screech, grabbing onto Salamence’s scales tightly. On thing she often had problems with when traveling in this was her fear of heights. Now, severally frightened, she shouted at her Salamence. “What was that for?!”

“Well sorry for trying to avoid a Feraligator attack!” Salamence growled back, motioning at the pair below.

Tarisha glanced down, and saw the Feraligators trainer frantically stopping its pokemon’s attack, but not without being thrown into the water. “Oh.” Was all she could think to say. She didn’t get a chance to say much more however, as the trainer below called out to her. For a long minute, she froze up, unable to think of a good response.

Tarisha’s Salamence, seeing her difficulty, dove lower, until it was almost skimming the water. He just figured she needed to be closer to hear better.

“Thanks Salamence.” She muttered sarcastically. Great, just what she needed, a chance to socialize. “Well, um…” She sputtered, trying to think of something to say to the trainer before her. “Well… I erm…. I sort of saw you battling earlier, and uh… then was sort of spying on you and…. Um… well… sort of just decided to follow you to uh… find out whats going on around here.”

Oh yeah, that made sense. She thought, mentally slapping herself.

[Saraibre Ryu]

Luckily I had a best friend that literally spoke a mile a mintue, so I could perfectly understand mixed up sentences and hurried speech. Shoku, who had turned invisible as did Twyla were looking at the scene from underwater.

I think she has a mark to. Shoku told me through telepathy.

I didn't try to look for one. If Shoku sensed something and was sure of it, he'd tell me. If he wasn't sure, he'd keep it to himself.

"Well, we're going to Simac city. We could explain whats going on when we get there. And sorry for my Feraligatr's behavior. Sometimes he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut."

Ha ha. You're hilarious my friend. Just hilarious. Torrent remarked sarcastically.

OOC: The stupid 'block'...grr I hate it so.

"Yeah, lets just keep going before we're really in a bad spot. I'd like to get there before the storm hits us, that is if it does."

[MewsoBlue]

Tarisha sat, listening to what was said. Wait, she could tell me when we get there… She thought to herself. That means…. She knows what’s going on? Well, this is interesting, here I am with no clue, and here is someone who apparently knows exactly whats goine on.

“Uh, well, I guess we’ll go with you to Simac City then.” Tarisha said, smiling slightly at the comment about the Feraligatr. “Just keep your croc in control.”

“I could have taken him.” Salamence growled out, glaring down at Torrent. He had a few issues about pokemon that threatened him.

“Oh sure.” Tarisha muttered, rolling her eyes. Her eyes widened a little at the other statement made though.

“Storm?” She said in surprise, glancing out at the horizon. “There is a storm coming?” She could see nothing heralding a storm yet. But hey, this one already seemed to know more then she did, so….

(ooc: I know what ya' mean. Bleah, writters block.)

[HorrorScope]

Later on that day Robin had just woken up after a long night at the hospital with everyone, He streched and awoke Axari who was asleep next to him.

Axari, Come on time to get up, We've overslept a bit too long.

Axari streched out and opened its eyes and slouched over to Robin, Oh, I had no idea it was this late on in the day, What about Alex?, Should we go see if he's recovered?

Yeah lets go see him now, Robin approched the door and twisted the handle carefully incase he was still sleeping, As a matter of fact he was sleeping with his Piplup in his arms.

Robin then sat in a chair and was checking his Pokedex while he waited for Alex to awake, Axari jumped up and lyed down in Robin's lap.

[NeonTrainer]

Andrew still asleep layed on the ground since he was too tired to lay on the bed. Armaldo layed against the wall asleep till he heard the other's voices and looked around for Andrew. There he was asleep on the floor, he sighed and woke up Andrew by a Water Pulse. "Whoa!.. Whoa!" Andrew yelled all wet. "Thanks alot Armaldo, now I have to go get dry.

[Saraibre Ryu]

The 'croc' has a name thank you very much. Torrent glared, happy to fight the Salamence at anytime.

"Hey, you two can have a battle at some other time, in some other place." I snapped. "In the mean time, lets get moving to Simac before the undertow takes us there."

Torrent rolled his eyes and proceeded towards the city. After a good long run, I noticed the sky was turning dark with clouds. The shore wasn't that far from us now, but it would only take five, maybe ten minutes to get there. THe water got progressivly choppy, but it didn't bother Torrent, but it bugged me. I kept getting splashed in the face every now and then and it was getting on my nerves.

"Torrent, for once I would appreciate it if you would go faster." I told him, bracing myself for another outburst of energy.

Alright will do. He said, shooting off towards the shore.

Twyla and Shoku were still underwater.

Something about this storm doesn't feel right. Shoku said to Twyla.

What is it though?

It might be the ones from Sinnoh, but why would they be here in Sadora?

Teyla shrugged and shook her head.

[Bryce]

The sunlight that shone through the backs of his eyelids instantly woke Alex from his drug-induced slumber. He sat, with Violet writhing in his arms and looked around the hospital room to which he had been confined. Robin was there, poking and jabbing bleakly at his pokedex. Alex felt as though he should strike up a conversation or something. But that was when he noticed the bulging cast on his left wrist. He remembered having it put on, with Nurse Joy's words still echoing in his mind. "It's just a hairline fracture, the wound should be healed in a matter of weeks."
Surprisingly, his wrist didnt ache anymore, in the throbbing sense, probably due to the countless drugs that Nurse Joy had pumped into his system.

"So, you have a mark too?" Alex found himself asking the boy in the chair by the window. It seemed to catch him by surprise, Robin probably didnt see him wake up.

[MewsoBlue]

“Well, I can’t go calling ya’ by name if I don’t know it.” Tarisha mumbled under her breath, grinning slightly at the Feraligatr’s reaction.

Salamence meanwhile, grinned dragonishly at Rya’s statement that they could battle later. “Good.” He growled. Tarisha rolled her eyes. She knew full well that Salamence took every statement like that as a promise. He didn’t even need to be told to follow Rya and Torrent as they increased speed, heading towards Simac.

Tarisha glanced behind her, watching the dark clouds start boiling over the horizon, darkening the sky. Silently, she urged Salamence on. The last thing she wanted to happen was to get caught out here in a storm. Lightning could be deadly, and right now, flying over the water, she and Salamence were the highest things around.

[Gaby]

OOC: Gah... sorry I haven't posted... what exactly has been happening in my absence?

[SuperBoy]

After hours in the hospital, Joseph woke up out of the hospital bed. He then saw another boy who had the same mark as he did asleep. He saw other people that looked like they could be his friends. Joseph felt completely healthy and refreshed now. He got up out of the bed and unclipped a pokeball from his waist.

"Come on out Weavile."

Weavile came out of it's pokeball hugging Joseph at first sight. It then saw an Armaldo and spoke to it.

"What happened to my friend Joseph. Why is he in the hospital?"

Joseph knew his Weavile was interacting with the Armaldo. So he decided to interact on his own.

"Are you guys the one that helped me?"

[HorrorScope]

Robin gazed up and noticed that both Alex and Joseph had woken up.

Hey Guys, You all ok?

Axari lifted his head to the sound of conversation, It sprung into life and let out a big stretch, Everyone's awake? Yipee!

Robin smiled at Axari, Then looked around the room a lot of windows smashed and a lot of destruction due to the battle.

He then turned to Alex and noticed he had still not given an answer, Oh sorry yeah I have a strange mark on my hand too, Its like a Shrine, I think they must mean something.

[NeonTrainer]

Andrew returned dry from the water pulse. "Hey, I'm back. So whats going on?"

[HorrorScope]

Robin glanced over looking towards Andrew.

Oh, Hey Andrew, Alex and Joseph have just woken up, We were just discussing the strange marks we have.

Axari bounced around full of energy and jumped on top of a shelf.

Axari what's up with you?, Axari then jumped onto another ledge, I do'nt know for some reason im full of energy lets play!

Sorry Axari we need to stay here with the others for now, I promise we'll play later.

Axari nodded and bounced around the room.

[Bryce]

Alex reclined against the pillows and watched the Jolteon pounce across the room. It landed on the edge of his bed and yanked the covers to the ground, pulling Violet along with them. The piplup, surprised by the sudden movement hopped into the air and playfully tackled the Jolteon to the floor.

"It sure is playful," Alex said casually to Robin. staring at the mark on his hand.

"Yeah," Robin responded, staring at the piplup and jolteon as they wrestled and frollicked around the room.

"Was there-," Alex cut off, embarrassed by the strange question he was about to ask. He tried again, "Was there any special reason that you came to Simac City? Because while I was at my last pokemon contest, these strange pokemon, I believe they were called the Regi's, yeah that was it, well they kind of told me to come here, but I had no idea why that was. But, i think it has something to do with these marks, like they somehow connect us all ya know?" Alex finished, waiting for Robin to respond.

[HorrorScope]

Robin watched Piplup and his Jolteon scramble around the room, Good to see their getting along, Robin smiled.

We'll all my life i've heard calls of the legendary Pokemon, Lugia, Ho-Oh and Celebi, I share a special bond with them all, Mostly Celebi who I see on rare occasions, Then before I came here I saw Celebi again before it dissapeared into the sky, So I got signal to come to Sadora and possibly find these Pokemon, Perhaps thats what these marks are for.

[Saraibre Ryu]

"OH, sorry, my name is Rikku." I replied quickly.

It took you long enough. Torrent commented.

"Oh shut it." I snapped.

We finally came to shore, but the wind was howling and rain was coming down quickly. Torrent rather liked it, but we had to find shelter. We made our way thorugh town, which looked to be empty.

"Thats weird." I thought out loud. "No one's here, or at least outside."

There was a crackle from a PA. 'Everyone is to get to the nearest building and remain there until further notice.'

It seems a little odd for a storm don't you think? Torrent asked Shoku.

I think its a bit more than a storm. He answered. We better get inside still.

There was a Pokemon Center near by, and I looked at Shoku before going inside. "What do you mean more than a storm? Uh, never mind, you and Twyla turn invisible and let torrent know if anything interesting happen. Torrent you wait by the door."

They all nodded and the two legendarias disappeared while Torrent stood by the door, still in my sight.

OOC: Okay Gaby, we met up with Mew's charry, and know we're in Simac city, getting inside the Pokemon Center and out of the storm.

[Bryce]

"Hmmm, well-" Alex began to respond to Robin, when he was cut off by the screaming of a siren somewhere outside the window. It honked and screeched for at least two minutes before the intercom over their heads announced the approaching storm. It then went on to say that they should take cover somewhere within the pokemon center.

"We've got to get somewhere safe," Alex shouted to Robin over the loud siren. "C'mon," he continued, yanking the cords and IVs off of his body and scrambled to the door. Violet flopped over to his heels and followed him, as did Robin and his Jolteon.

[HorrorScope]

Robin then stopped, A huge power began to overtake his whole body, His mark started glowing like crazy then went a deep red.

What's happening!, Robin clenched onto his left hand and shouted in pain.

He ran outside into the storm and looked up into the sky, It turned a deep red like his mark, Then all of a sudden a huge call came from a Pokemon of some sort.

That...That... That is Ho-Oh's call!

Then his arms began to make a red and black marked pattern, He fell to the ground onto his knee's, He began to have an evil look and so did his Jolteon.

[MewsoBlue]

Tarisha nodded as Rikku introduced herself. “Names’ Tarisha!” She called over to her, making herself heard over the sounds of her Salamences wingbeats, as well as over the howl of the wind that was starting to pick up.

Salamence beat his wings faster, having to fight the wind as they began to approach the shore. Once they finally reached land, Tarisha hopped off, returning Salamence to his pokeball. It would be slower on foot then flying, but with this wind, she didn’t want Salamence to exhaust himself. Plus, lighting was an ever present danger.

Tarisha was silent as she looked around at the deserted streets of Simac. She heard Rikku’s comment, and was wondering herself. When the PA system went off, she jerked in surprise at the sudden noise.

“Everyone inside, why, whats going on?” She began to wonder. True, this was a bad storm, but it wasn’t enough to make everyone stay indoors. Still, she didn’t have much time to wonder. She followed Rikku to the pokemon center, stopping dead in her tracks when she finally noticed the two legendaries before her. She was going to ask where they had come from, but they disappeared, and Tarisha figured she could wait until she was inside to ask.

Shivering and soaking wet, Tarisha entered the pokemon center.

[Negative Zone]

"Rain..." Alakazam said.

"Great, rain, just my favorite thing," Dusty said sarcasticly.

"Well, c'mon, we're almost there," Torterra stated.

Soon they were there, and protecting themselves from the storm.

"Guys, I suppose you deserve a rest. It was a long walk," Dusty said. He tried to dry himself off by shaking his whole body. Then he looked at all the people staring at him. "Uh... Hi."

[Bryce]

OOC: huncrew, i didnt know what you wanted to do with this, so i just did this, hope it's okay:

Alex stared out through the sliding glass doors at Robin, who had just fallen to his knees. A black form overtook him and Alex ran out to see what was wrong with Violet trailing at his heels. A sudden flash of lightning revealed an evil smile spread over Robin's face as he stood and faced Alex, his Jolteon staring directly at them. They just stood staring each other down, until Robin ran toward Alex.

"Robin, what are you doing?" Alex screamed at the boy who had just recently been his friend. "I've got to snap him out of this," Alex whispered to his Piplup. "You are the only chance, you have got to stop them!" he screamed above the clash of thunder.

"I understand!" Violet responded, getting in a battle stance.

"Do whatever you can to avoid the electric attacks, if you get hit, it will all be over!" He informed her, eyeing the boy and his jolteon who were getting closer by the second.

"Okay, now Violet use Bubble to distract them and follow it up with Water Pulse, maybe it will bring them back!" Alex commanded her.

Violet rose into the air, emitting a shower of beautiful bubbles which caught the attention of Robin and Axari. She then fired a pure pulse of water straight at the two attacking fiends.

"This had got to work!" Alex screamed to no one in particular.

[HorrorScope]

OOC: Is this still alive, I'll post anyway..

IC:
Robin and Axari both stared with evil eyes into Alex,

The an evil tone came upon him, Axari destroy the puny Piplup!

Axari nodded and unleashed a huge Electrical Wave which hit Piplup making it crash into the wall behind it.
