Hajimari o Tsugeru Kane no Koe
At the beginning, the bell echos to let you know

Toki ga Kawari
That it's just a matter of change

Kinou Uchikeshi Narihibiku yo
From a terrible yesterday

Daijoubu Kimi ga koko ni ireba
It's all right, since you're here next to me

Hitori janai Sore ga Yuuki Okosaseru
I'm not alone, and that's what'll awaken my courage

Fukigenna Sora Mabushii hodo
This sullen sky dazzles so

Terashi Daseru Taiyou ni nareru
It's so bright that I feel as if it's the sun

Kimi to Wakachiau Kibou to Yorokobi
I'll share this with you, the joy of my hopes

Kurosu suru Sono Tabifukamaru Kizuna
This cross holds the deepness of our bond

Mirai to Genzai Pazuru o Awasete
The future and the present join together with this puzzle

Kokoro Tsunagaru Bokura no Yume
Our hearts are connected for our dream

Akashi ni naru
I'll become the proof​

The Shadow Nebula

A large, silver satellite with the symbol of the common nebula on it floating in space above Earth with the usual faces- the scientists there laze and slack there as if they had nothing to do- imagining their life back home but getting even bored since monotonous scenes are what they loved- completely unaware of the events to come.

“This is kind of boring, right?” a worker with a lab coat was lazing in a moving chair with his arms as pillows. “I’m sure this isn’t what I signed up for…”

Another scientist came along. “Well its still work. You better keep at it and monitor that screen before something bad happens. You never know what could come.”

“Didn’t you have any dreams when you decided this was the place for you?”

A third scientist came along with blue hair, small eyes with glasses on. “We all had dreams when we decided to work here. This IS what I expected.”

“It’s still kind of boring, but you wanted this…?”

“We all did,” the third one said. “We all expected big things, but we still have fun.”

The second scientist walked by one of the screens with an unexpected face, the same neutral one as the bored scientist. “Nothing new, but the Earth looks nice from here.”

One of the many huge screens began flashing an astonishing red, demonstrating the words “ASTROID APPROACHING” And the proof along with a vast asteroid heading to the Earth at this very moment!

“Oh no! This can’t be!” the second scientist pointed and yelled at the originally bored one. “This is your screen, so go and do something! Now you can have some fun like you wanted to earlier!”

“Now the party’s getting started, and you better be there to stop it!” ordered the third.

“How could I know? Even if I did, how could I stop it?”

“It’s the end for all of us…unless…” The second researcher came up to the screen and pressed some buttons, quickly but skillfully- the camera zoomed in to show a closer examination of the impending asteroid reveals that there is some strange lifeform clinging to the approaching rock.

The scientists all clutter up together and think of a plan to stop the impending danger just realized a few seconds ago, and they all understand they have no choice but to resort to an infamous yet brilliant scientist. The name is unspoken, and the three leave the room with a look of rushing fear on their faces. The screen fades away…

Episode 1: Running Errands

Episode 1: Running Errands

A boy with brown hair in a wave and in scarlet pajamas with pictures of Charizard on them wakes up in a bed with pictures of Eevee and its evolutions on it, stretching out his arms and yawning in the light of a fresh day, getting out of bed. He quickly changed out of his pajamas and went into a red blazer with a black undershirt.

“So what time is it?”

He protected his eyes from the sun’s rays of the window beside him by putting his hands over it, then walked over to a desk beside him and reached for a PokéBall and the high-tech P*DA, immediately getting an email from someone with a ring-ring tone. He opened it and an automatic voice came out of the person sending it, as it was advanced technology in his hands.

A fatherly light voice came out and said, “I left something for you on the table, as you can see. If you don’t already know what it is, it’s called the P*DA, and you can use it to call your friends and family anytime you want, consider it a mailbox of sorts. It also has a strategy memo just in case you ever need it, so have fun and thank your mom for letting me buy the thing for you! Well, it was actually one of the devices in the lab, but see ya!”

“So dad got me something for my birthday? Thanks, I guess.” He put the P*DA away.
The boy walked downstairs and saw his mom, with red hair and a light lab coat on along with gentle eyes of a mother. “Jaden, can you look for your little sister Mana? She’s probably playing at the Kaminko Manor. Since you have rollerblades, I think it would be quicker if you were the one to look for her.”

“Sure thing, mom!”

As if he was able to conjure a spell, he slipped rollerblades out of a thin, black backpack with a green zipper out and slipped them on as in-lines. He skated out of the lab with some of the other scientists astonished of his sudden rush.




* * *




His skates graced the open road with trees on fine dirt on the left side of him, and he was soon at the Kaminko Manor to experience ironic scenery compared to the road- what looked like a haunted house with a silver, rusted fountain lost of water in front of him, topped with random thunderbolts causing loud noise, but not actually hitting anything.

“This place looks creepy…why should I care?” Jaden headed into the wooden and creepy doors of the house to see a much more merrier scene- like a playground. A screen was slapped in front when he entered and two doors one on left and right.

A tall lady with blue hair in a beetle wearing a lab coat walked out along with a sibling in her hands, but not an infant, with pink hair and a glossy dress on.

“There you are, Mana!”

The blue haired lab put down the petite girl, and Mana loped over to Jaden in bliss, hugging him as if he saved her. “There you are, big brother!”

The scientist walked over. “She’s nice, and I can see she loves you.”

“Of course she loves me, I’m her bigger brother!”

The scientist frowned. “And then some?”

“Yeah, I forgot about you,” blushed Jaden. “Right aunt Jovi…”

Mana halted hugging Jaden and began leaping in joy. “I love the both of you!”

An old man with tall white hair ending in spikes with a long beard, along with glasses with whirls in the middle, his hands behind his back struggling to walk came over to where the three were. “My greatest assistant…and best choice ever!”

“Who and what…?” asked Jaden.

“Jovi here has been a great assistant since the day she began coming here to annoy me and Chobin. It turns out her annoyance sprouted new ideas.”

“Thanks, but Michael always came and took me back to the lab,” added Jovi.

Chobin was hiding behind a corner, his hands over his mouth in shock and walked in a short nerdy way backwards more from the scene. “What does he mean Jovi is his greatest assistant? No, Chobin is! Chobin is the number one Kaminko Aide!”

“Well as you can see--”

A snotty Chobin interrupted Kaminko. “Enough! How rude…no more of these words, at least when Chobin's here.” He left the room, mumbling.

“What’s with him?” wondered Jovi.

“Mom’s waiting for you, Mana.”

“Okay. Bye old man! Bye Jovi!”

When Jaden was outside and back to the fearful scene, he got an email from his P*DA shocking him as if the machine was obsessed. Opening it, another automated voice message from his dad said, “Hey, I’m kind of waiting for you back here in the Pokémon Lab HQ, so come home as quickly as you can, okay? I want to show you something cool I found when I was looking back inside my old closet.”

Jaden slapped on his in-line skates, and had Mana on the back of him ready to take off back to the Pokémon Lab HQ. Mana was laughing and moving like a rampaging washing machine, making Jaden worry he might trip.




* * *



Jaden and Mana made it back to the Pokémon Lab HQ, and Jaden rollerbladed up the railing of the stairs defying gravity and went into the doors of the lab, the scientists amazed yet scared at the speed and accuracy. Jaden’s mom was still smack in front of him, as if a stop sign halting him to stop his agility.

“I was worried about you, Mana! You’re supposed to tell me when you’re going to leave this early in the morning and not just go off without leaving me anything to know you’re going to be okay. There are a lot of bad things happening lately and I don’t want one of those events happening to my own daughter. Thanks, Jaden.”

Mana got off Jaden’s back. “I’m here, I promise I won’t stay out too late anymore, okay? If I worried you, then sorry!”

“Well alright, but at least you’re safe right now. Jaden, your father called you a few minutes after you left and he’s still waiting for you upstairs.”

“Okay mom. Be up there in a second. I already got an email message from him a little while earlier.” Jaden rollerbladed into the elevator, which was already there for him.




* * *




It took him to a room with a counter in it. Jaden’s dad was sitting on the counter, he had red hair held up by goggles and a carefree face, jeans, and a labcoat on like the other members of this facility. “Hey, I was waiting for you. Turns out five minutes after you left, I was already five minutes too late!”

“So what did you want to show me?”

“You ever heard what a Snag Machine is?”

“I read something about it in school. It said devices like that were originally used for evil, but it saved the world from evil organizations numerous times, right?”

“You got the facts straight, but I’m wondering if you already know what one can do.”

Jaden nodded. “Sorry. Have no idea.”

“It’s used to steal Pokémon from other trainers, but in the past it has been used by heroes to steal the ones belonging to evil trainers to make them good again. As you can see, Pokémon are only ‘bad’ when they obey trainers when their owners are evil, but that doesn’t mean they’re ‘evil’ themselves. However, numerous organizations in the past have actually been able to break that rule and in fact make them ‘evil’.”

“Nice story, dad. What a waste of time. I wanted to go back to sleep after helping mom find Mana at the Kaminko Manor.”

“You better not go, if you want your real birthday present today.” He took something out from a random desk drawer and held it out. The silver, metallic, mechanic object was shaped like a bionic arm with red patterns a round circle in the middle of the hand.

“That looks kind of cool, but I don’t have a broken arm—is that what I think it is?!”

“Whatever you set your mind to, Jaden.”

“It’s a Snag Machine?”

“That’s right, and it’s going to be your final birthday present. I’m trusting you to take over for me someday and I know someone like you would make me proud.”

“Thanks, but…” he accepted the present from his dad’s opening hands and wore the Snag Machine comfortably on his left arm and moved it around a little, realizing the hand part was simple as a glove and he could still move the left hand. “It fits fine!”

“The one I used many years ago to destroy Cipher after its rebirth is rusted in more ways than one, but this version is more compact for the sake of it not being too thick, and small is what you kids these days consider ‘cool’, right?”

“Thanks!” Jaden rose up with energy and struck a heroic pose. “And now I shall protect the Pokémon World from terror and destruction from all those who seek to create it!”

“First you should—” Michael grasped the stool hastily in surprise as he felt a powerful tremor strike below him, and Jaden almost tripped with his legs doing tricks not to.

“INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!” an alarm began ringing loudly and making Jaden and Michael’s thoughts mixed in disclosure.

“Jaden, go and find out what’s going on! I have to stay up here and make sure nobody got hurt from that sudden shake and nothing was knocked over! I’m trusting you!”

“Right!” following the obvious rules of a safety procedure, he rollerbladed left and headed down the emergency escape stairs, rollerblading down the railing in a scuttle.




* * *




Jaden ran into his mom, who was running about and saw him at the right time. “There’s a person out there trying to steal all the data, please help us! I know you can!”

“Where is he?”

“He’s in the Purify Chamber, right now!”

“Looks like I better get there!” he rollerbladed off.

Getting to the nearby room with a glowing circle in the center with matching patterns leading out of it in perfect formation and some waves of light coming out of it. Some female scientists and a Blissey were there, scared at the situation. A PC and healing machine was also there.

A scientist backed up. “Someone help us!”

Jaden arrived in the room. “Hey you, stop this now or else!”

The person causing the problem was a man dressed in a purple monster outfit looking like a Heel NetNavi in MegaMan Battle Network, having silver spikes appear out of his outfit and a chakra styled face of darkness, along with a threatening stance. “You don’t boss me around.”

“Looks like you’re gonna have to learn this the hard way.”




================================================== =========
Pkmn Trainer Jaden vs. Heel
================================================== =========

“You think you can beat me, little kid? Well just try it! Go Machop!” Heel sent out the superpower fighting humanshape.

“You don’t scare me! You better get out of here.” I have no idea what the heck’s in this PokéBall, but there’s no time like the present. “Go!” his PokéBall released the normal evolutionist Eevee. “That’s new…”

The Snagger’s Aura Reader sensed a shadow coming out of the Machop ahead. “Does that mean it’s a… ‘Shadow Pokémon?’ What can that mean?”

“A fighting against a normal? My battle, and you look new to boot. Use Shadow Rush!”

“Shadow Rush…? I never heard of that before…” he commanded, “I don’t know what attacks Eevee can do, but here goes: Eevee, use Take Down!”

Eevee charged in, while Machop did the same thing but with a shadow aura, which badly damaged the new Eevee, while the superpower being suffered little.

“That’s what you get.”

“What do you know?”

Jaden’s dad approached the room amid a hastening appearance. “You have to use your Snag Machine to capture Machop! Go and use it now! All you have to do is use one of the PokéBalls you already have with you.”

“Okay dad, I guess I have no choice but to trust you.” Jaden reached into his pocket, and took his hand out to no avail of a PokéBall. “I don’t have one!”

Jaden’s dad tossed over a red and white PokéBall, which Jaden caught. “Here you go!”

“What do you think you’re doing interfering?” requested the Heel.

“Be quiet already. The PokéBall began charging and had an aura around it with an energy Jaden never felt before. He tossed it for a first.

The PokéBall rocked once…twice…thrice! Machop was caught.

“I better get away while the going’s good!”

=================================================




“That wasn’t a good thing that just happened to me. I need the data on Shadow Pokémon in the past, so hand it over!”

“Make us,” Jaden’s dad taunted.

“Empty threats aren’t going to get you anywhere, and I snagged your Shadow Machop! Get out of here!”

“You haven’t seen the last of the organization…” the Heel left in a black flash.

“What did he mean by the organization, dad?”

“I have no idea, but the Shadow Pokémon are probably going to rise again. You don’t have to worry about anything bad happening, because they rose many times in the past and they always got their backsides spanked in the end, anyways.”

“I hope you’re right…but if you want me to catch more Shadows for you, then—”

“Here’s a PokéBall generator. Every time you encounter a Shadow, it should transport a PokéBall from somewhere in the lab to where you are. It’s the lab’s own invention!”

“Thanks! I can catch regulars also, right?”

“They’re not common in the Orre region, but there are some places you can…anyways, I’m going on a business trip tomorrow to the Tech region, so do you want to come?”

“Sure…as long as I won’t be a bother to you…”

“Then I’ll give you the Tech ticket right now, but I’ll let you go between Tech and Orre, so don’t worry.” He handed over an advanced silver ticket with data rainbows on it. “Your mom called you earlier before the fuss, so get to her, okay son?”

“Sure, and thanks again!” he rollerbladed his leave.




* * *




Jaden got to his mom, sweating from the event occurring earlier but merry everything’s backed to normal. “I need for you to do me a favor really quick: Can you go to Gateon Port and get me some package from the postal office? I can’t get it right now…”

“Sure, I feel like battling some trainers there also.”

Episode 1: Running Errands [SCENE 2]

Jaden’s mom smiled. “Well don’t forget to get the thing, or no dinner for you!”

Jaden’s face showed believing looks, a worried one. “You’re kidding, right?”

His mom laughed after looking at her son’s façade, then stopped and put her hand on top of him in a polite way. “Of course I am. Be careful for the sake of it though, okay?”

Jaden felt relieved, then rollerbladed off outside. “I knew you were. See ya!”




* * *




After swiftly riding his way through the gentle parks of western Orre, he arrived in Gateon Port, a beautiful seaport beckoned with ships by the side- some coming from the guidance of the lighthouse ahead while the others leaving with the last few passengers or just friends and family who want a gentle ride around the harbor. Streets were showered with stunning white marble bricks not dirty, and walking on them were populated with sailors having a rest and from the distance; a restaurant shaped like a Krabby could be spotted along with bulkier sailors lying there in the healthy white and blue shine of the sky, with some Wingull flying overhead in circles and other formations to welcome the people and the ships. The lighthouse tall, white and blue were decorated with some people up there just to see the marvelous view from above.

“There’s stairs here, and I have skates…hmm…that’s a problem…but not one too big for me that is!” he jumped onto the railing, which had little protection as one mistake would send him falling for 12 feet down with other people there, but his bravery sent him sliding down like a train on a railroad and he made it to the bottom, which had a big, square stone, but he vaulted over it with little effort.

One of the people walking around was shocked at the skating. “Don’t you know doing something like that’s dangerous?”

“Yeah, your point?”

The other person walked away after those words.

“Well know I’m supposed to go to the postal office opened in Gateon Port a few weeks ago.” He walked up to a map with many arrows on it and building shapes, pointing over to a blue colored house with the symbol of a mailing letter next to it. “That obviously must be the place I’m supposed to go to…”

Gateon Port was a great place to get mail even though they just made the location a few weeks ago, it has already became a place known in the Orre region to get the information you wanted. It was also the perfect location since incoming ships carried cargo for the people in Orre- and information sent by associates, friends and family over from over other distant lands. As if a new block of land was added over to the Gateon Port, the postal office was to the left of the Krabby Pavilion.

Jaden got there, noticing there were some people walking and standing there with no idea of what they’re doing, and some going inside. There wasn’t much of a line considering it was huge and there were many aisles there. He went inside and noticed large chunks of packages being imported and exported to the people. Going up to a random receptionist, he asked the woman wearing an easy light-blue blazer. “Can I get the package for my mom right now? She told me to come here and get it for her because she was too lazy to get it herself, so there.”

The woman had a dashing smiling face. “That’s not nice to talk that way. Of course, but first I need to know the name of your mom before I can hand anything to you.”

“Her name is Marcia.”

“The famous reporter is your mom? She gave some of us a phone call earlier about how you were going to come here and give her the package when you get back home. Your name must be Jaden then, am I right?”

“Yes. Can I get the thing now?”

“Just a minute.” She went a little to the back, which had hundreds of other packages littered all over the shelves, and grabbed one with a metallic color to it, going back and handing the parcel over to the waiting Jaden. “Here it is.”

“Thanks! What’s in it, though?”

“I don’t really know. It’s not nice to look in other people’s packages, so we didn’t. We’re probably not even allowed to, but the breaks are nice.”

“See ya, and thanks again.” He waved goodbye and skated out of the room, some people there with a look of wind rushing through their face, and even wondering why the boy was allowed to skate indoors. “I should get back to my mom before too long, but first I think it’s a good idea to get in some battles first.”




* * *




When Jaden reached outside, he saw some sailors but was already skating at full speed and crashed into them without being able to brake, these were the big ones that didn’t even notice the impact of the innocent kid, but was able to snap a kid’s bones in one try and would get angry easily, and they had empty eyes, as their uniforms were big. One of them clenched their fists while the other snickered and held his large hands over the little boy to the worry of Jaden and he feared being hurt by them, especially since this was too early and he wanted to get back home to his mom to give the parcel back. They were bullies and had muscular faces and arms.

“Leave the boy alone.” A man with hair in curls rushing down the left and right sides of his face to cover part of his left eye, along with his right eye in the shape of a microscopic glass glowing in the sun with dark red rims came along. He was wearing a white coat, in the fashion of a lab coat but wasn’t exactly one with purple streams going into patterns and a red rim in the end of the coat for his serious hands; the man was quite tall, wearing dark purple pants in a tone. The part of his eye seen had a square and empty look with but a small pupil in the middle. He walked by with the emotionless look on his face. “If you want to battle somebody, then battle me. My name is Dr. Regal.”

The two sailors stopped their threats on Jaden and approached the man, wishing he would have the same fate they were about to put upon for the boy. “You’re going to wish you never interfered!” they both said.

=================================================
Dr. Regal vs. Sailor #1 and Sailor #2
=================================================

“You’re going to wish you never met with us!” the first sailor sent out Poliwrath, a dark-blue Water and Fighting type with an angry look on its face and a spiral in the middle with white fists ready to battle. The second sailor sent out Vaporeon, the Bubble jet shaped like a mermaid with its long tail and beady eyes.

[Dr. Regal walks into the field, the emotionless look, and when he stopped, his teeth snickered fearfully and the microscope/binocular lens glowed red in the center] “You two are no match for me, go PokéBall!” not saying the name of the Pokémon he was releasing, he sent out the head of one, shaped like a robot with blue and white rims patterns on it and green triangular eyes, along with a mouth staying shut. The head was floating eerily and the sailors ahead were laughing at it, as it was so small.

“What’s that?” Jaden took out his P*DA and directed it towards the floating head. No information available. “No information…? I wonder what kind of Pokémon is it…if is a Pokémon…”

“Poliwrath, use Water Blast!” “Vaporeon, use Water Jet!”

Poliwrath shot out a huge blast of water from the center of its whirl while Vaporeon charged at the head with the form and speed of Quick Attack, except the streak behind it was the color of water and bubbles. The head didn’t do anything and was hit with both attacks, but no damage seemed to do anything to the floating head as it remained emotionless as usual and nothing but ‘CLANK’ and ‘PING’ sounds were heard when those moves hit the head directly.

Dr. Regal had a confident and casual look. “Kill them…Head of Duo.”

“Duo, what’s that?” wondered Jaden. “I never heard of it…”

The ‘Head of Duo’ hovered in the air with a green aura as strong as the glow on its eyes and went above Poliwrath and Vaporeon. Without even blinking, it dropped its head down on them to the ground where none of them were hit, and a white barrier was formed around the ‘Head of Duo’ which obscured the rest of the field, not allowing the sailors to see their Pokémon, and Dr. Regal blind to what ‘Head of Duo’ was doing, even though he crossed his arms and didn’t care.

The glow got brighter and brighter, hurting Jaden’s eyes. “What kind of attack…”

The glow began fading, even though the three Pokémon in the attack still couldn’t be seen. After the entire barrier erupted in a wave, Poliwrath and Vaporeon were prone on the ground, and their bodies were being digitized like a data stream. Duo had the same look on its face and returned to Dr. Regal’s PokéBall.

A computer voice out of thin air said, “POLIWRATH, DELETED” “VAPOREON, DELETED.” Then the two water types were gone.

“We weren’t really going to hit him!”

“Our Pokémon. They’re gone…!”

=================================================

“What did you do to our Pokémon?”

“Yeah! Where are they right now?!”

“Do you two want to die?” asked Dr. Regal nicely.

“No!” they both ran off, their Pokémon gone and PokéBalls light.

Jaden walked over to Dr. Regal, shy and scared of the power he just saw but kind of grateful the man stopped him from being killed by the two sailors. “Thanks, I guess.”

“No thanks needed, those two got what they deserved. They shouldn’t have attacked you in the first place, and their Pokémon suffered the price for it.”

“So where did you make them go to?”

“Let’s just say, they’re in a better place.”

“Ohh…tell me that’s not what I—”

“Actually, they’re alive and well. I can’t let two Pokémon like that die, right? It’s just that they’re not with those pathetic sailors anymore. They’re in a fun place!”

“I see…well I have to get going right now.”

“I have something for you, and I’ll prove quite useful while you’re purifying Shadow Pokémon, and I’ll make your team better to boot. Take this.” He took out a disk, like that of a TM, and it was flavored with many different colors. “It’s called ‘Many Lives.’”

“Is that a song or something?” Jaden accepted the disk. “And how did you know I’m a Snagger of Shadow Pokémon?”

“No, but I’ll prove useful to you later. I’ll give you a clue to what it does: It brings out the full potential of your Eevee.”

“And how did you know I have an Eevee?”

“Just a hunch. Goodbye.” The man walked a little, then shot up into the sky as a beam of blue light stretched his body, then disappeared.

“And how did you—”

As Jaden began rollerblading again, questions showered his mind like a rushing waterfall or river, and he began to ponder these ideas: Who was the man he just saw? How did the man know that he was a snagger? How did the man know he owned an Eevee? What was the Pokémon, the ‘Head of Duo’ was and how did it ‘DELETE’ those two Pokémon? How did the man teleport away without the help of technology or Pokémon? And finally, what was contained in the disk handed over to him.

The people around him were oblivious to what just happened at the smiling harbor, with the sound of more ships coming in riding on the salty waters which led the air to smell as good as it did right now. While the other people continued on doing what they were doing, amid the crowd was a boy named Jaden pondering all that happened today, including what happened earlier when he snagged the Shadow Machop. Also, tomorrow he would be going on the trip with his father to the ‘Tech’ region, a land he has never been to. For now, besides the many questions scattered in his mind, he only wants to go home and give his mom the parcel he got from the postal office.

 

[Divinity_123]

Is this by any chance have anything to do with Megaman?

A computer voice out of thin air said, “POLIWRATH, DELETED” “VAPOREON, DELETED.” Then the two water types were gone.

“We weren’t really going to hit him!”

^^^LMFAO!

HAHA, off topic but I deleted my fic from the fic section. If you wanna review, kindly do so in SPPF. BTW, it ain't called Providence of Region anymore because it is a stupid tiltile imo. It's called "Title less" LOL!

 

[HarleyScarow]

This is related to Rockman EXE. It's more like a crossover fanfiction between PKMN, GX, and EXE. I read your fanfiction...avoid Yami Ryu!

 

[Divinity_123]

Used to watch Megaman or Rockman whatever it is called. Got to the part were Crash or Crave is going to go full throtle in their plan

Episode 2: Legendary Power

Jaden goes home after the event at the Gateon Port, and arrives at the Pokémon Lab HQ with the parcel in hand, when he suddenly gets an email. He opens it, reading it.

|========================================================|
Title: PokéBalls Back In Stock!
From: Orre City Council, Government

Message: As you all know, PokéBalls have been out of the region for several weeks due to production and transportation problems, but now they’re back and being sold in the places they have been in the Orre region! Go get them and catch the Wild Pokémon from that PokéSpot or other region you’re planning to travel to!
|========================================================|

“Well I guess that’s a good thing, but I already have a PokéBall generator, so that probably won’t make much of a difference.”




* * *




Jaden goes inside and upstairs to notice your dad is in his bedroom along with his mom packing up things for tomorrow. Jaden’s mom was busy helping the man pick out the clothes from the closet, and both of them were getting exhausted from the work.

“Hey Jaden,” welcomed dad. “Since there’s going to be many different types of PokéBalls back in Orre other than the regular one you used earlier, you probably already guessed you’ll be able to transfer any type of Orre existing PokéBall over to you, right?”

“So you’ll be going off tomorrow along with your dad, Jaden…I’ll have nobody to hang out with other than your little sister Mana, but have fun! Anyways, how’s that Eevee doing with you? I kind of left it on the table for you when you were sleeping.”

“But why, mom? I already have a lot of Pokémon with me.”

“Your dad’s first Pokémon was an Eevee, and it was one of the heroes that stopped Cipher in its tracks a long time ago. I was looking forward to seeing how you managed to use it, and so far, I’m pretty sure you’ll do a good job with it.”

“Thanks I guess…I’ll make sure it’ll become a good member of my team!”
“Okay, but I think you and your dad should go and get some rest before tomorrow, because it’s getting kind of late right now.”

“Sure!” Jaden and his dad agreed in unison.




* * *




Jaden and his dad went to sleep in the warm and comfortable blankets of their beds, along with Mana constantly walking around and sometimes poking at sleepers as the curious little girl she was, and even gave Jaden a good night’s kiss. Jaden’s mom was preparing packing all night and soon, the sun rose.

Jaden wakes up and gets out of his pajamas into his blazer as usual, and notices his dad is still asleep from the work yesterday, while his mom was downstairs cooking for herself, his little sister Mana, and some of the other scientists ready for work. He went downstairs and ate a plate of bacon, eggs and cheese with a sense of delight.

“That was a good meal, mom! How come dad’s not up yet? He should eat a plate before we leave for the Tech region.”

“Thanks for the compliments, dad’s not up yet because he’s the kind of person to procrastinate when he wakes up. You don’t need to worry because the flight is at 3:00PM and it’s only about 6:00AM right now- you woke kind of early.”

Mana began tugging on Jaden’s blazer. “Hey Jaden, can you take me to Agate Village so I can visit Eagun and Beluh? It’s funny cause they’re so old!”

“Heh…it is isn’t it…?” Jaden began thinking of the family timeline. “At the top of the chain are Eagun and Beluh, whose granddaughters are Lily and Rui. Below that is Michael- my dad, after Wes marries Lily after Rui leaves for a long time…that’s great-grandson so far…and then my dad marries mom, which makes me their great-great grandson, the fifth generation! They were able to live that long?”

“So can we go already?”

“Fine, but don’t you think they’re too old and could conk out any second?”

“They’re not ‘too old’! They’re our family and I love them! I especially want to play with that Pikachu they have with them! I heard that it’s really old and can tell us a lot of cool stories in it’s ‘Pikachu language! Let’s go Jaden, please, please, please?”
“Okay fine, but only because I have nothing else to do until later this afternoon and I’m doing this for you as a favor, okay?”

“Okay sure! Bye mom! I’ll see you later after I head over to Agate Village!”

“Be careful you two while you’re out there!”




* * *




Jaden had the cute little Mana on his back, and began skating through the road with the gentle park on the side of him with an easy brown gate protecting it, there were some benches for citizens to sit on along the way, and he was soon there. From above, the town of senior citizens could be seen from above along with the beautiful green glowing shrine for worshipping reasons. A vast array of clouds surrounded the edges of the towns with rocks miraculously floating in the sky- people on them sniffing the fresh air, which made the town suitable for people looking for a rest. It was a green luscious town full of plants; mostly tall trees providing welcoming shade for the people and even a waterfall flowing across the town in certain places for a nice little foot dip. Gentle and convenient slopes were shortcuts for the people, as the entrance Jaden was now in.

Jaden rollerbladed slowly through the town, making sure the innocent and slow-walking senior citizens wouldn’t get hit by the speed he was used to. He arrived at a large house strangely formatted into the shape of a tree and walked in, as the door was open; the house was like the kind you would see in a fairy tale.

Inside, there were all sorts of furniture, including a staircase that lay smack in front of them like a stick, and two paths to go when entering. An old man and woman saw them and welcomed them, being their ‘great-great-grandparents’ – Eagun and Beluh The two kids sat down and had a drink of tea prepared already.

“I’m Beluh, and this is my husband Eagun. It’s nice to meet our great great grandchildren. We’re so old but we stay alive in more ways than one!”

“What brings you two to our wonderful abode? Is there some sort of a problem somewhere? I hear that you two are the fifth generation if we’re the first.”

“I always wanted to meet you two old people!” exclaimed Mana.

“Wow…amazing how you manage it…” mumbled Jaden. “I’m afraid to tell you this, but the rise of Shadow Pokémon are back…”

“Is that so? What can we do, Eagun?”

“My Pikachu has been taken down more than once from these organizations, and we have won many battles back in our day, but now I know our kids can do the job better than we ever could…you really don’t have to worry. Cipher has attempted to conquer Orre three times in the past, and Enigma Shadow failed twice as well. These unimportant organizations shall go down like the rest.”

“Are you sure about that? Maybe you’re right, I did manage to snag a Shadow Machop pretty easily, but I should still stay on my guard. They could be strong and for that point they were just beginning.”

“My big brother Jaden’s good because he managed to snag a Machop! I love him so much, and I love you two also!”

“I think that Jaden’s right, Eagun. Every single organization that came our way was stronger than the other, so we should prepare them for this one.”

“Of course, Beluh, fine. Jaden and Mana, can you follow Beluh wherever she goes? I need to do something of my own right now.”

“Sure!” said Jaden and Mana in unison, then Eagun left the room.

“You two follow me upstairs, and I have something for you.”

Jaden and Mana went upstairs with Beluh as the lead and got there. It was actually a bedroom, having two beds there and the usual furniture in the middle. On the lightly flower decorated walls of the room, next to the stairs was a portrait of Torchic could be seen, along with another picture of an Azumarill with its kids Marill and Azurill.

“So you have toys for us?” asked Mana. “You’re always so nice!”

“I bet it’s something more important than that, Mana.”

Beluh was looking inside a box and she took out something that resembled an egg. It was a beautiful green and yellow egg with religious flavors on it. The box whence it came from looked like an honorable shrine itself and was festooned with bells and nature. “Take a guess of what this is.”

“A PokéBall…?” guessed Jaden.

“A protector of the world?”

“You’re right about it being a PokéBall, Jaden, even though it may strongly resemble an egg. The truth is that what’s contained within it is obvious, but not decisive, the protector of time and space. Eagun and myself found it 15 years ago when the poisonous art of Shadow Pokémon was just beginning to practice, while Eagun was training at the Relic Forest and some members of Team Snagem and Cipher were trying to steal it, but don’t take them the bad way because time has passed; Team Snagem is no longer evil and supports good, and most of Cipher has began to benefit the society.”

“It looks so cute!” exclaimed Mana. “When it’s gonna hatch?”

“Yeah, granny…and why would we need it?”

“That’s a question I can’t answer, because it’s been with us for 15 years and even a hammer’s not going to do anything, so I’m trusting you two to hatch it when you find out some way to make that happen, okay? It shall hatch at the right time…”

“Okay! I’ll be sure to take good care of it!” Beluh handed over the egg to Mana, who was hugging it and treating it with warmth and love like a mother would.

“Thanks, granny. Now we should get going back home so I can get ready for the trip with dad, okay Mana?”

“Okay!” Mana began walking, followed by Jaden.

“Wait you two!”

The two kids halted. “What happened?”

“One thing that you should know is to never go to the Pokémon Cemetery in the back of Agate Village because if you do, you might disturb the resting Pokémon there and then they’ll attack you with a strong force that can possess you for a long time!” Beluh looked over to Jaden. “My husband Eagun is over at the Relic Forest right now, so can you go there and have a battle with him? He wanted to battle for a long time.”

“Sure, I’ve been itching to battle with my Elemental Heroes for a while already.”

“I’ll watch because it’s fun to watch things happen!”

“All you have to do is go past the Relic Cave, and in order to get there take a slope down to the left side of the Pokémon Center. The cave’s easy and isn’t dangerous, and the forest is peaceful with light, so don’t worry about anything bad encountering, okay?”

“Okay. See ya!”

Jaden and Mana left the ‘tree’ house and was outside inside the lushly smell of nature as he began to rollerblade down the many slopes the town had to offer, seeing many gentle Pokémon along with their respective trainers- all senior citizens, as they went. Some regular middle-aged people were also in the town, battling with the seniors and losing all the way. He arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, and noticed the slope Beluh entered earlier, noticing there wasn’t enough space for two people to go through on, so Mana climbed onto Jaden’s back and they rushed down to the bottom with a screech in the end, noticing the waterfall dropping to the river in front of them when they saw the entrance of the cave with an everyday farmer of Agate Village protecting the entrance. The man seemed to not let Jaden go inside for some reason.

Mana got off Jaden’s back and walked up to the man. “Can you move out of the way please so that me and my bigger brother can go in and battle Eagun?”

“Oh yes, that’s right…Eagun did tell me he wanted to battle you, Jaden.” The man moved out of the way and the path was clear for Jaden and Mana to enter.

They both entered the cave, but this hole wasn’t the kind of place you would fear getting lost in or scary in any sense of the word. The light could be seen just ahead and there was a lot of spacious there, with some pools of water dug in the ground moving around nicely to the nature of the cave, and the cries of Surskit and Masquerain were also there as they walked on and even saw the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. The harshest it was in the cave was the occasional and common bump on the foot. They arrived on the other side, getting to Relic Forest and noticed it was a pattern of rocks on the ground. Beautiful and unbelievably tall trees surrounded the place they were standing on, a path of rocks leaving to a standing stage of stones round in the center of the location they were in with the Relic Stone sitting in the middle, along with Eagun waiting over there.

“So you have made it here at last…I see Beluh gave you the egg…”

“I did, and you said you wanted to battle me?”

“Yes I did,” Eagun’s Pikachu suddenly appeared and then walked beside him, appearing next to him. “My friend here hasn’t battled for a long time, but now it’s time to put you to the test. Time for our long awaited battle!”

“Go bro!”

=================================================
Pkmn Trainer Jaden vs. Myth Legend Eagun
=================================================
[Eagun walks onto the field with a look of pride, his cape blowing in the wind as he lifted his arms and threw two PokéBalls] “Go Pichu and Raichu!”

“Those little mice, eh? Go Clayman and Sparkman!” Jaden sent out two Pokémon standing humanoid, one was huge of brown built like two solid blocks of clay while the other one was yellow resembling a wire and had two charging needles for hands.

“Pichu, use Volt Tackle on Clayman. Raichu, Thundertackle on Sparkman.”

“Clayman, Protect! Sparkman, Shining Surge Flash!”

Clayman put up a green barrier to defend itself. Pichu charged up quickly with an electric-flavored streak behind it as it scuttled, it hit Clayman but then bounced back, with no recoil damage since Clayman didn’t take any in the first place. Sparkman’s pointers charged up with energy and glowed, causing the rays to damage everybody on the field with its Light-type attack; Clayman was still protected. Raichu tackled Sparkman with force and sparks flew from it suddenly, damaging both Pokémon, but little since they were both Electric-types.

“You have some pretty good defenses there, using Protect, and getting Sparkman to use Shining Surge Flash to lower my Special Attack. Good, and I won’t fall for that again. Pichu, Thunder Random and Raichu, Thunder Tail!”

“You’ve changed your plan, so Clayman use Clay Defense to help the team, and Sparkman, Thunder Needle!”

Pichu made a lightning strike travel through the ground, circling all the battlers like roulette, and when Eagun snapped his fingers the lightning stopped and struck Raichu to make the bigger rodent glow. Sparkman charged up both of its needles and stabbed Raichu twice, causing even more damage to it and making it glow again. Raichu for some reason had its Special Attack rose by four levels already and struck Sparkman, with its charged tail, making it faint.

“How did your Raichu become so strong when it was hit so many times?”

“The special ability of my Raichu specifically is Thunder Pack, which increases its Special Attack points by two every time it gets hit by an electric attack. That’s why Pichu using Thunder Random and me making the roulette stop on Raichu to unleash the Electric attack on it was part of my plan, and when you used your attack you made it ever more stronger. Don’t you go thinking that what I did was cruel, because Raichu are used to getting hit by thunder to the point they like it.”

“You can still do it, big bro!”

“Thanks Mana. Return, Sparkman,” he returned it. “That attack caught us off by surprise, but you still did a good job weakening Pichu and Raichu with your moves. Go Burstinatrix, Pichu and Raichu are vulnerable now!” he released what looked like a female lady wrapped around in flames standing elegantly.

Clayman rolled around twice and made a brown-toned shield appear around itself and its partner Burstinatrix, protecting them and making Eagun worry.

“That’s a good move you made there, Jaden! Using Clay Defense increased the Special Defense of your Pokémon twice and makes them completely shielded against Electric-types, but don’t think that I’m too obvious with those moves. I’ve been battling before your grandfather was born! Pichu, activate your special ability, Battery Box on Raichu, and Raichu, use your Iron Tail!”

Clayman, use your special PokéBody: E-Hero Preserve! Burstinatrix, Burstfire!”

Pichu warped into a white ball of energy after charging up and went into the body of Raichu, increasing Raichu’s Special Attack and Speed to the max. Raichu’s tail glowed silver and almost sliced Burstinatrix, but Clayman jumped in the way to protect its partner, taking the full hit and getting knocked out, as it was a rock-type. Raichu jumped back and Pichu appeared, fainting from the energy it supplied over to Raichu of its own, and both it and Clayman were returned.

“Good battle so far, Jaden. How were you able to protect your Burstinatrix with your Clayman? That was a technique I have never seen in my years.”

“Clayman’s that much of a good guy, he'll preserve his Elemental Hero colleagues at any cost, and that gave his PokéBody the name Clay Body, allowing it to jump in whenever an ally is the target of an attack that would knock its friend out. But on with the battle, I choose Avian!” Jaden sent out Avian, which wheeled through the sky when it was sent out as a blue and elegant humanoid with wings and standing body when it gently flew down to the center of the battleground.

“I shall choose my best friend whom I have battled with for a long time, and now we shall grace the field again. Pikachu, I choose you.” Eagun’s Pikachu, which was already out, walked beside him ready for battle with a flex of its small body.

Burstinatrix used Burstfire, making a huge explosion of flames appear and knocked out the already damaged Raichu with its fire, since the big rodent already wasted a lot of health charging itself up for more Special Attack.

“Return Raichu, for doing a great job by taking down Clayman even though that wasn’t your main idea, you deserve a nice long rest,” Eagun took out another PokéBall and threw it. “Go Pikachu!” he summoned another Pikachu with the same look as his own friend, except there was something different about the air’s environment around it…it was a Shadow Pokémon!

Mana screamed at the sight. “That thing looks evil Eagun! Like an evil doll!”

“Eagun, that’s a Shadow Pokémon, you’re not supposed to have one! If you do, then does that mean that you’re…?”

“No I’m not what you think I am at all! This Shadow Pikachu isn’t evil and there’s no way I could have it to do anything bad to it.”

“From what my dad said to me and my bigger brother, Shadow Pokémon aren’t bad because it’s not their fault their hearts were artificially shut by the person that created them, but the person owning them is because the only reason why they would own one of them in the first place is to do bad things!”

“I found it being used by some purple, pointy looking guys trying to steal the stone earlier, that’s why I’m here for the moment- to look after it for a few hours. It doesn’t act evil like regular Pikachu and seems to be struggling against the powers, and I think a battle might be able to allow me to know what’s wrong with it for the meantime.”

“In that case, fine then. Avian use Featherbreak and Burstinatrix use Flame Heart.”

“Pikachu use Thunderbolt and Shadow Pikachu, use Shadow Bolt.”

Avian was the quickest so it climbed to spin three times and scattered many sharp feathers to hurt the Shadow Pikachu. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Burstinatrix, which did some damage. Burstinatrix jumped, then she unleashed a huge flame in the shape of a heart, which infatuated the regular Pikachu with a burn scarred on the little electric mouse as well, burning Pikachu. Shadow Pikachu for some reason was holding its body down, trying not to attack, but felt like it had to; it was holding itself down, but couldn’t so unleashed a dark bolt at Avian for super-effective damage.

Mana cried when she saw Avian get hit. “Shadow attacks are so scary…and evil…”

“So now I know the problem with you, Pikachu…the power of the shadows isn’t what you want and you’re trying to escape it…I’ll do my best to help you. Pikachu, Thunder; Shadow Pikachu, Shadow Storm!”

“It’s combination time! Featherbreak and Burstfire combination: Firestorm Breaker!”

Avian and Burstinatrix combined their attacks, with Avian releasing hundreds of feathers into the air and Burstinatrix burning all of them by flying through them. They all flew with the two Pokémon’s gust into the air and were above the field, beginning to powerfully rain down on both of the Pikachu and also Eagun, still down there on the ground, with a beautiful firestorm made out of blazing feathers, landing on all of the plants but for some reason not destroying them. Both Pikachu fainted.

Eagun was down on the ground, his body shaking, “We tried our best, my friend.”
=================================================

“Thank you for the battle, Jaden. I’ve never had one that good for a long time. You’ve also helped me on finding a way to help my poor Shadow Pikachu.”

“Jaden, you won! I’m so happy!”

“Good luck on wherever you may go, Jaden! It was a pleasure to meet you!”

“Yeah…and now I have to get going to a certain region…I’ll see you later, too.”

Jaden and Mana both left the Relic Forest and Relic Cave, arriving at the front of the Pokémon Center, still thinking about the battle Jaden was just in.

Mana already sprouted a new idea. “Let’s go to the Pokémon Cemetery next! I want to make some friends with the ghosts there!”

“We can’t do that, Mana! Remember what Beluh said that if we went there, we might disturb the resting Pokémon and then bad things can happen to us?”

“Fine then, but can we go there for a minutes? I heard that dead things smell good.”

“Alright, but only for five minutes, nothing more than that, Mana.”

“Thanks, Jaden!”

Mana was leading the way to the gate of the cemetery along with Jaden walking behind, not willing to go but only doing this as a favor for her little sister. They arrived at a silver-colored gate wrapped with vines and showered with pink flowers to welcome anybody daring to go there, but looks like those ornaments didn’t work as seen in the inside was nobody of a chance. Some gravestones were scattered across the ground, but it wasn’t the stereotypical cemetery where everybody would be frightened and fog would suddenly come out, because there were a lot of full objects next to some of the graves.

“I told you this place was nice, Jaden!” Mana began walking inside with no thought of what could happen. “Follow me, Jaden!”

“Wait up, Mana! You have to be careful and I’m the one in charge.” He walked in slowly, still not wanting to go along with this.



* * *




The inside was completely ironic to the sight of the cemetery on the outside, as the nice air to be seen outer quickly turned into a losing fog, making Mana leap in joy and Jaden even more concerned about his little sister as it got worse and worse. The ‘pretty flowers and vines’ on the outside looked completely dead on the same location seen in the cemetery, and the sound of eerie Pokémon like Murkrow could be seen, and even frightened the worried boy even more as they flew above. More things were even missing as he moved and notice the gravestones had no more objects next to them as seen on the other side, and he moved slowly to notice the sounds of footsteps walking other than his own, sparking fear into the boy. The sun now completely died out and he couldn’t see anything, until a white hand suddenly landed upon his shoulder!
“Get off me, whatever you are!” he forcefully pushed the hand off and to his surprise and anger, realized it was Mana playing a joke on him, Jaden was sweating and his heart beating to the astonishment his little sister would do something like that.

Mana almost fell, but rose up laughing. “You fell for my prank, Jaden! You were so scared, and the look on your face was so obvious!”

“You wanted to come here just so that you could scare me?!”

“No, the truth is that I did really want to explore the place, and it’s nice so far. I noticed you were already scared before I did that to you,” she was still giggling.

“That’s because I was worried about you! I hope you know if you get lost, mom’s going to chew me out, and then some.”

“Fine then, let’s get out of here.”

They both left the creepy and still foggy cemetery, finding the entrance out of the place quickly, but not noticing a figure with red eyes was watching them…




* * *




They were outside, Mana still jumping up and down from random and unexplainable enjoyment, tugging Jaden endlessly.

“Let’s go to Mt. Battle next!”

“Didn’t we already go to enough places, Mana? I’m already too tired to go on the flight later with my dad, and it’s already 11:00AM! We’ve been hanging out for four hours!”

“Be that way, but then I’ll tell mom you made me cry.”

“FINE. But this is the last place we’re going before we’re going home- I still need to get a little more ready before I go.”

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Jaden got a P*DA message:

Subject: Be careful but have fun
From: Mom, Pokémon Lab HQ

Message: I already packed all of your stuff, Jaden; so don’t worry about going home and doing anything. All you have to do is get over here by 1:00PM so you can leave for the airport, which has the flight going out at 3:00PM. Have fun for the rest of the time here and make sure Mana stays safe, okay? Love you, goodbye!

“That was pretty redundant…” Jaden put the P*DA away.




* * *




They headed over to Mt. Battle, this time passing over many sticks and stones as they crossed the desert of Orre full of rocks traveling north over to the mountain, and some sand occasionally pushing over as Mana held her hands over her face while bracing on to the back of her bigger brother Jaden, who was rollerblading across the sand with the skates picking up speed. They arrived at Mt. Battle, noticing the top of the huge volcano in the sky covered by many clouds, the rushing lava floating down the side of it and many platforms could be seen on the higher levels if you had a good eye. Mt. Battle was destroyed many years ago, but most of it recovered after the time passing. They were at the entrance, with the two blocks of trees one on the left side and right and the athlete traveling around it, along with the set of stairs leading inside at the end of the middle.

“There…I’m guessing you’re really happy now, right Mana?”

Mana got off Jaden. “Yeah, this place is so cool!”

A man with red hair with sunglasses on wearing scarlet, gray and black robes walked by and noticed Jaden, stopping to greet the boy. “My name is Eldes and I’m a fellow trainer, and you appear to be one as well.”

Jaden shook hands with Eldes, but had some strange feeling about him. “Where have I heard your name before? Are you a famous trainer or something?”

“I guess you can say that. I’m one of the members responsible for the defeat of several organizations in the past, like Cipher and Enigma Shadow, if that’s good enough. May I suggest a battle between two honorable trainers?”

“Another battle, Jaden? Yay! I want to see.”

“In that case, fine, I accept. Let’s battle right here.”

=================================================
Pkmn Trainer Jaden vs. Supertrainer Eldes
=================================================

[Eldes leaps into the air, spins around, and strikes a ninja-like pose. He then sends out a mammal looking like an angry dog ready to strike with flames on its back and hair flowing like jel; a creature looking like a pig ready to strike with seaweed floating on its head as hair and all over its mane, having the disgruntled face of an enraged pig]

“So you have some really rare Pokémon there, Eldes…” Jaden took out his P*DA, pointing over to the two Pokémon and scanning them for information.

“Barklame, the fire dog Pokémon. Type is Fire/Rock, and the evolved form of the Zuki Fire starter Flaruff. They have worked beside humans for many years in helping save lives at stake at the hands of rampaging fires, and are known to even risk their lives to get the people out of the burning buildings, even though its rock hard body makes it impervious to most flames. However, it will only stay loyal if its trainer shows generosity to others like it does so.”

“Seaweedo, the Seaweed Pokémon. Type is Grass/Water, and the evolved form of Weedsea. It is known to make much of the seaweed in the Zuki waters, where it came from, more nutritious and powerful in the sense of the word of healing and even supplying others with power from the roots. In addition to that, using attacks like Sea Stumper can even create more water bearing the food for the Seaweedo and its family. Seaweedo are also greatly useful for sushi chefs as it can hunt out the seaweed.”

“Those things are pretty rare, Eldes. But that doesn’t mean they’re not gonna win without a fight! Go Avian and Sparkman!”

“Barklame, use Super Hot Flame and Seaweedo use Status Shield!”

“Avian, use Aerial Ace on Seaweedo and Sparkman use Needle Surge!”

Avian was the quickest, striking Seaweedo with a sharp slice from the sky and doing major damage to it, as the target was a grass-type. Barklame’s flames became super hot and white, and released shining rocks that shattered on all Pokémon on the field, making Avian and Sparkman burned from the scorching hot stones. Barklame and Seaweedo however weren’t damaged at all, and to the surprise of Jaden, Seaweedo had a green aura.

“Oh no, big brother! Jaden, are you okay?”

“How did my Pokémon get burned but your Seaweedo wasn’t affected? I saw those rocks hit the thing directly!”

“The effect of status shield doesn’t allow my Pokémon to obtain a status effect, or even get hit by a move involving them in any sense of the word, so yours are burned while mines are protected. Now you see the early strategy I have planned for you.”
Sparkman’s needle hit Barklame, doing a lot of damage and making it paralyzed, but then it backed up, tired after the strike.

Jaden’s turn began, and both of his Pokémon had a flame go through them from the burn before he ordered the next attacks to them. “Sparkman may have done a lot of damage, but it’s going to have to recharge for one turn. I might as well protect myself before they take anymore damage, Avian use Safeguard!”

“Why put on a raincoat when you’re already soaked? Barklame use Flamethrower on the defending Sparkman and Seaweedo use Healing Leaf.”

Avian glowed and put a light barrier surrounding Sparkman and itself to protect against status conditions. Seaweedo was much quicker than Barklame due to its partner’s special condition, so it quickly made its many leaves glowed intensely, and then one of them fell into the center of Barklame, suddenly making the dog lose its status condition. Barklame was now refreshed, its flamethrower was much more stronger than usual and knocked out the resting Sparkman without a hitch.

“Return Sparkman. How was that Flamethrower attack so powerful?” Jaden released the blocky Clayman from his PokéBall.

“Easy, I’ve been training my friends for a long time ago, so that was nothing compared to what I have in store for you. When you used Needle Surge, you activated the special ability of my Barklame, Blaze. It makes Fire-type attacks much stronger so a Flamethrower was the best bet to shut yours down.”

“Big brother lost Sparkman? Come on, you can do it!”

“Barklame, Volcanic Burst and Seaweedo, Leaf Protect.”

During the beginning of Jaden’s orders, a burn flashed through his Avian. He knew Safeguard protected against status conditions in the future, but there was no way it could life the ones affecting the poor bird now. “Avian, Featherbreak take down Seaweedo once for all and Clayman, Rock Slide.”

Seaweedo quickly put a green shield with surrounding leaves around it, protecting it. Avian unleashed a sword of feathers somehow breaking the shield of nature and crushing Seaweedo, knocking the pig out.

Eldes returned Seaweedo. “How did you do that, Jaden? Good move. Go Daggerator!” Eldes sent out a dragon-like creature with three ninja stars split into its many tails and the blades of swords coursing through its back. It had some scars coming out of it along with the blood remaining, courtesy of the razor-sharp claws it had on its blue body. It finished off with an angry face of blood along with a yellow Mohawk on its battling face.

“Jaden’s going to win, Eldes!”

“I’ve been studying up on my attacks lately, and Leaf Protect is a move that shields the user indefinitely like Protect, but it doesn’t get cut in half each turn when used. However, if the user of Leaf Protect is attacked by a move super-effective against Grass-types, then the barrier is broken and I can attack.”

“Daggerator, the Dagger Pokémon. Type is Dragon/Warrior and is the evolved form of Sharpoile. Daggerator are able to practice the art of ninja, using many different sharp tools around them appearing to seem harmless but have the capability to destroy many things easily. Even the tail isn’t innocent; it can slash through steel with ease.”

“Good moves you’ve done so far. That was a mistake on my account, Jaden. Barklame, it’s time to use Super Hot Flame on Avian while Daggerator uses Triple Star on all!”

“Avian, Aerial Maneuvers and Clayman, protect!”

Clayman put up a green barrier around it to protect itself while Avian immediately moved super fast around the field, increasing its Speed and Evasiveness to make Barklame’s white ball of energy miss its mark. Daggerator was ready to attack, jumping in the air and throwing three ninja stars glowing in the center randomly at Avian and Clayman; Clayman was protected with its attack so Avian kept flying away, but the stars chased it until the flying humanoid was hit three times, knocking Avian out.

“Avian’s out too…you can still do it Jaden!”

“How were you able to hit my Avian with all three of the stars? I thought Triple Star hit random, and even if you did choose the targets of those attacks, they should have missed because Aerial Maneuvers makes sure all attacks miss for one round!”

“I’m brushing off on my skills and no longer taking any more chances, so this attack does let me control the targets, but in addition to the effect, it never misses. Sorry…”

“It sure is fun battling you, Eldes.” Jaden returned Avian and released what looked like a tubby little kid in a baby-blue diving outfit, having a green visor and a tube above him covering his spoiled looking face with big pink lips. “Go Bubbleman, Bubble Chase Barklame, and Clayman, Mud Shot whatever you think is right!”

“You didn’t give some good orders with your moves…Barklame, Smokescreen. Daggerator, Dagger Slasher.”

Barklame unleashed a cloud of gray smoke onto the field to shroud it and make the humans cough a little. Bubbleman unleashed many bubbles from the tube above it from where it was standing without moving and they began approaching the enemy, along with Clayman shooting a mud ball out of its mouth to hit Daggerator for some damage. Daggerator leaped in the air even with the smoke still on and slashed Clayman head on for some damage, but not too much considering Clayman had great defense.

“I knew Bubble Parade wouldn’t get its way there, Jaden. Mud Shot was also a random hit, so it didn’t make much of a difference.”

“Just watch for a little and you’ll see what I mean!”
The smoke cleared to allow the people watching to see what Jaden meant, and the bubbles approaching the Barklame got more and more quick until they hit Barklame many times, pushing the dog back until it fainted.

Eldes was surprised. “Good move you did there, but how did you manage to do something like that? The bubbles should have lost their way in the smoke since they didn’t have any direction from the one using it. Tricky one you pulled off there.”

“Well as I could have told you earlier, when a Pokémon uses Bubble Parade, the bubbles are unleashed on the first turn, but after all the attacks made by the Pokémon are over, it startles the target with them at the last second!”

Eldes returned Barklame. “Very smart, I knew you were one of the trainers able to think for himself. Go Magnetrivu!” Eldes released an Electric-type looking much similar to Magnetric, except most of its body was more curved like wires, having its tail longer and sleeker, along with a head having a silver armor helmet on complete with the body set.

“Magnetrivu, the Electric Wire Pokémon. Type is Electric/Steel, and is the evolved form of Magnetric due to high energy levels of electricity in its fur and the power of Metal Coat. Magnetrivu are known to make electric currents travel for miles due to sources in its armor and can even make other attacks hit due to the ability. Since it can attack from a far distance from energy transfers, attacks can hunt down food and destroy whatever it wants even when it’s asleep or at an immense vastness.”

Mana was amazed, “So where’d you get that? It looks cool and cute, Eldes.”

“It evolved from my Shadow Magnetric after it was purified. I never wanted it to fall in any condition such as being a Shadow, and raised it with love when it was one and before any of the business happened, so here it is, in front of you today.

“Let’s see if it’s as good a battler as it is good in looks. Clayman, Mud Shot Magnetrivu and Bubbleman, Bubble Bomb!”

“Daggerator, Swords Dance and Magnetrivu, Energy Dance.”

Magnetrivu glowed with many colors and orbs surrounded it, increasing its Special Attack by two levels while Daggerator performed a ritual with its tail, increasing its Attack level by two as well. Bubbleman ‘swam’ in the air with the same motions as if you were in a pool or the ocean and unleashed a barrage of water orbs, crashing into Magnetrivu several times but seemed to only increase its Special Attack as the beast glowed and conducted electricity from the water, then got hit by a thunderbolt and was automatically fainted as if the attack somehow went against it in more ways than one- a shock on Jaden’s face. Clayman threw a ball of mud at Magnetrivu, hitting it directly but somehow bouncing off the advanced armor, even though the other effect of Mud Shot still lowered the Speed of its target by 1.

“How did my Mud Shot not do anything to your Magnetrivu? It’s an Electric so it should have been super-effective, and being Steel won’t help. What happened?”

“Once again you have underestimated the abilities of my Pokémon. When any physical moves hit Magnetrivu, the damage of the move is completely negated thanks to a PokéBody called Wire Armor. In addition, its Conduction PokéPower automatically knocks out any Water-type attacking it, as long as the attacker can be hit by Electric moves. Another side note is that if it’s hit by a Water attack, regardless of who did the move, the user is paralyzed, meaning if it was raining, you would have had it in for you.”

“Pretty powerful thing you have there.” Jaden returned Bubbleman and sent out the flaming woman Burstinatrix out of her PokéBall. “Burstinatrix, Burstfire on Magnetrivu and Clayman, use Protect!”

“Daggerator, Sword Clash and Magnetrivu, Thunderbolt Burstinatrix.”

Clayman used Protect to create a green barrier around it. Magnetrivu was unleashing a powerful Thunderbolt on Burstinatrix, but Clayman jumped in the way by activating its PokéBody: Clay Defense, and taking the hit. Since it was a ground type, no damage was done to it and its preserved was safe. Burstinatrix was making a round wall of flame grow bigger and bigger, then flipped it at Magnetrivu to make the armored dog faint, since Fire was good against Steel.

“Return, Magnetrivu. You made a very surprising move with your Clayman, protecting your attacker was a good plan, and makes for a good battle. Go Flygon!”

Daggerator attacked Clayman, possibly because Thunderbolt was meant to defeat Burstinatrix, but the slashing attempt on the clay statue failed since Protect was still activated from earlier.

“New round then, right Eldes? Clayman, Ice Beam on Flygon and Burstinatrix, attack Daggerator with Dragon Claw!”

“Flygon, Fly on Burstinatrix and Daggerator, Battle Clash!”

Flygon flew high into the air, making Clayman’s attempt at Ice Beam miss, and it would have did a lot of damage considering Ice moves do four times the damage against Flygon and Vibrava. Burstinatrix charged up her claws with dragon power and rushed to slash Daggerator, but the lizard had more plans- it waited until after and while the fiery lady was attacking before it charged in on its own, causing a battle of power in the center of the field. Dragon Claw’s type advantage took down Daggerator, but the charged up strength of Battle Clash thanks to Swords Dance a few turns ago blew the lady down for the count, both defeated and returned to their PokéBalls.

Mana was astonished. “Now both of them are down? This battling thing can get really complicated, but it looks kind of fun…I’m definitely being in the next one!”

Jaden was smiling at his sister’s enthusiasm. “Battling is fun, and I’m learning a whole bunch from Eldes over here!”

“I’m getting a lot from you too Jaden. Kids teach also, don’t forget, and we’re down to our final two Pokémon so let’s make this a good one!”

“Sure! I choose Wildman!” Jaden sent out what looked like a warrior. He had a wolf-like face showered with what was more like fur than hair. Wildman carried a sword behind his back, no clothes for the top of his body with huge muscles and abs.

“My final Pokémon shall be the one I have obtained when I was a child, back when I began training…go Hikarijask!” Eldes sent out a creature that looked much like a Ninjask but with a shining white aura around it.

"Hikarijask, the savior Pokémon. Type is Bug/Flying. Hikarijask evolve from Ninjask when the Ninjask's trainer has done a selfless deed to help others. Many consider it to have near-legendary status. It has the power to wipe evil from hearts, and is said to be able to instantly purify Shadow Pokémon."

“That thing’s pretty good, Eldes…did Hikarijask originate from a Nincada you owned?”

“Something like that, thanks for the remarks. Let’s see if you can stand up to the power of Hikarijask- Hikarijask, Time Bell.”

“Clayman, Rock Slide on Hikarijask, and Wildman, Reverse Claw on Flygon!"

Hikarijask gave off a sound that was not unlike that of an angel's singing. Both it and Eldes's Flygon were powered up by the sound, as their Attack and Speed rose by one. Flygon used Fly, diving from the air with force and hitting Wildman, but for some reason the target of the aerial attack didn’t take any damage- Wildman’s claws were glowing for the attack it was about to use, but didn’t do anything yet. Clayman caused many rocks to roll and hit Flygon, doing little damage and Hikarijask, doing little damage strangely.

“How did my Clayman’s Rock Slide not knock out your Hikarijask? Shouldn’t it be a Bug and Flying, meaning it would take four times the damage?”

“On the contrary Jaden, no. When Ninjask evolves into Hikarijask, it gives up the Flying type for Light, making it only take twice the damage. The true point is the special ability of Hikarijask, Light Boost, recovers its HP by half the amount done to it after the attack, so it just got it back, and it will continue gaining back that exact amount of points every turn until another move dealing damage hits it.”

Hikarijask glowed and gained back the HP it lost from Rock Slide.

“Since the entire round is over, time to activate the effect of Reverse Claw, which was just beginning the moment your Flygon struck my Wildman. What happens is the type of Reverse Claw is the one of the attacker, and then some.”

Wildman’s claws glowed, then attacked with orange and white glowing claws, doubling the power of Reverse Claw and striking Flygon with Dragon-type damage to faint it.

“Jaden’s going to beat you now, Eldes!”

“Return, Flygon. Now I’m down to one Pokémon, but not for long, because Hikarijask’s Light Boost heals it a chunk, then the ultimate move: Reverse Bell!”

“Reverse Bell…what’s that? Anyways, time to finish Hikarijask off- Clayman, Rock Slide and Wildman, Aerial Ace!”

Clayman and Wildman obeyed and jumped, getting ready to use their respective attacks, but just before they would both hit Hikarijask directly, unbelievably out of the blue Barklame and Seaweedo appeared onto the field to intercept their attacks- but with the strong difference they were glowing white with ghostly flavor! Clayman and Wildman failed in their attacks, and the ghostly figures were still there to Jaden’s surprise.

“Those things are so scary…make them go away, Jaden.”

“How did you get your Hikarijask to make them appear? Ghosts don’t just appear out of nowhere like that…okay, so what they do, but there has to be a reason.”

“Just like I would defend my Pokémon from anybody at any cost, they would do the same thing for me to win a battle, and that bond is what allowed my Hikarijask to learn Reverse Bell- a move permitting me to summon the hearts of my defeated Pokémon after all five of them are having a rest- Hikarijask being the only one left. You’ve put up a good fight, but now feel the full onslaught of my entire team!”

Daggerator, Magnetrivu and Flygon appeared in the same glowing and ghostly form, charging energy to do their attacks. They were ready, and all beat Clayman along with Wildman with their charged power, making both of them faint. The ghostly figures disappeared in a flash and Hikarijask returned itself back.

“A good battle you put up, Jaden.”

“Pretty good one…better get to training.
=================================================

“Big brother, you lost,” Mana ran over to Jaden almost crying as tears dwelled up inside her brown eyes. “What happened…?”

“Don’t worry about it, Mana. It was just a fun battle and not the kind you’re in to help save the world like the ones we’ve seen in movies and books. I’m pretty happy you brung me here, because I got to fight Eldes- a great trainer!”

Eldes walked over, smiling at the thought of the battle they just had. “Speaking of which, there will be a big battle soon…I don’t know how, but for some reason I have the idea you are going to be related to it in some way, and possibly even one of the battlers. Very good battle you gave me, Jaden. I think I learned a lot from you, thank you for that.”

Jaden chuckled, brushing his hair back. “I learned a lot more. Just because a person’s down to one Pokémon and facing two doesn’t mean anything now, does it? Normally that happens a lot when you lose a Pokémon first.”

“You’re pretty nice, Elmo!” giggled Mana. “Elmo’s world!”

“His name is Eldes- don’t be rude, Mana. Mom wouldn’t like that.”

“Don’t worry, Jaden. It’s nice to see your little sister has a sense of humor…I have to go now, and you probably have other things to do as well.”

“No he doesn’t! All he has is free time with me, his little sister. Next we’re gonna go to the top of Mt. Battle and beat the person in charge, then Jaden’s going to take over the place and we can make it our funhouse!”

Jaden looked inside his pocket, grabbing out his P*DA and began pressing many buttons on it to get what he desired.

“That might not be a bad idea, Mana. Your brother would do fine. I already took down the Mt. Battle Master, and he almost beat me, so there’s a good idea there.”

Jaden looked at the P*DA, shocked. “It’s 1:00PM right now! I have to get my stuff over at the…oh wait, mom already gave the things to dad…but I still need to go over to the airport, which is going to take about an hour, then we have to go through the security process, registration and other airport stuff! I’m going to be too late…”

“I can give you a ride there, Jaden,” offered Eldes.

“But you don’t have a car with you or anything! It’s gonna take forever to hail a cab…”

Eldes snapped his fingers, and suddenly out of the air a large maroon helicopter made a landing quickly behind him, startling the other people there, surprising Jaden and Mana.

“I can offer you a ride, and we’ll be there in about ten minutes.”
