Pokémon Iridescent: Evolving Era Arc 1: Fabled Failure

[Hunderas]

Roy and Scizor appeared on the other side of the forest looking over lit up Pewter City. "Well then Sciz, lets go home." Roy was still upset by the extreme lose they took against the Magma Grunt. Walking down the streets the lamps were glowing, pokemon scurried away from the duo, a breeze rolled through the town. At last they came upon a house that was only a single story high white walls and a red roof just like all the others around it. Inside a light was on, Roy walked into the house followed quickly by Scizor. "Hey Mom I'm home!" Roy exclaimed.
"Back already huh? So how was the trip? You didn't get hurt did you?" Roy's Mom was asking so many questions that Roy couldn't answer as they came out.
"Mom chill were fine for the most part."
"What do you mean 'for the most part.' Who hurt you there dead when I find them. Growlithe lets go." a Growlithe came walking around the corner. "Growlithe, get the sent were going hunting."
"Mom the dude beat me in a battle there's no way you're going to be able to beat him."
"Well I have more experience than you at this kind of stuff. What kind of pokemon did he have? Speaking of which what pokemon did you choose, A Squirtle, a Charmander, or a Bulbasaur?"
"By the time I got there all three of them were gone. But a Professor from another region called and luckily he had an extra starter. Then on the way home I caught an Abra. Come on out guys." Roy expanded the two pokeballs and a Kadabra came out of one and a Chimchar out the other.

[Mr.WHAM]

A vast white expanse surrounded Abrax as he alone looked ahead, an illuminated figure glistening in the air above him. "[i]Does it console you? Will you use it to spread the light of life? Are the Shadows of Creation so black after all? No. True Darkness lies within those who would wield it, let it sicken them and --" [/i]A purple and gray, cold and wet overtook the white expanse, choking him. He felt himself slipping away as he reached upward and grasped for air, climbing up on a ladder until he reached its peak. He stood a top a tall building as his dream faded to black and he awoke to a pitch black room. His face was covered by one of his soft, fluffy pillows and a top it he could hear a familiar muffled laughter. Abrax felt a heavy pressure weighing down on him as he gathered his strength to flip himself over, freeing his head. Next, he took in a big breath of air as a fist narrowly missed his skull. His arms were free as he pulled himself up using the rails on the left side of the bed. He kicked his foot at one of his assailants as they dodged it, the feeling of wind breezing past a cool face. Within an instant, the larger of the two assailants ripped him out his bed tossing Abrax towards the wall; the place on his left arm where the IV was was bleeding and the actual needle was stuck in his arm, but he had no time to think about. "HA! You've got to do better than that to kill me!!! I am the VERY BEST! LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS!" [i]I wonder why I said that... [/i]

Abrax hopped up off of the floor, narrowly dodging the kick that the second smller assailant sent at him. There faces were shrouded in darkness and they wore sleek black uniforms. In the center there was a letter of some sort but all he saw were three points at the bottom; it was incredibly dark on the right side of the room as it faced the exit of the hallway. [i]A quick turn around the corner and--[/i] Abrax was down the hall within 3 seconds, kicking open the door. [i]s***... this wound is not fun. I'll have to take care of it later. For now, I've got to pick up those guys from the upstairs. [/i] The sounds of footsteps and yelling echoed down the stairwell as Abrax jumped over the counter, heading into the Pokemon Healing Sector. "NURSE JOY! NUUUURRSE JOOOOY!" he screamed out, waking a few sleeping residents. The Chansey from earlier appeared and upon seeing Abrax's reaction and hearing him ramble on about what was happening, pointed him to a room. Through the window, he could see Doom's special Pokeball. He hugged the Chansey and ran into the room grabbing up the Pokeballs and waking up Gible. The purple Pokemon hopped up and its eyes widened as it screamed pointing at the door, his arms flailing wildly. Abrax turned around yelling "CHANSEY LOOK OUT!"

The Pokemon turned around to see the two Magmas running towards her. She reacted instantly lifting her arms in the air, a shining golden egg formed above her. She hurled at the two imbeciles as they climbed out of the counter and the golden egg exploded. She smiled at Abrax as he wished her well and said thanks. "HA! That's what Team Rocket gets when it messes with the Impmasterman!" The Chansey giggled as she made more Egg Bombs and the young trainer slipped out the back of the center.

Ahead of him, he saw a single story house with a red roof and white walls with its lights on. Grabbing onto his arms, which was bleeding profusely by now, he walked straight into the house, its door open as expected. [i]These doors are ALWAYS open. I wonder why;its not as though locks [b]don't [/b]exist. Hmm... [/i] Inside the room was a trainer and his mother. By the old woman, a Growlithe stood, ready and poised for attack.

"H-h-h-hh-hey...Everybody. I'm t-th-the Impmasterman and I've-" Abrax would've kept going but everyone's eyes were glaring at him for what he could tell, and the way things were going, it was just so awkward.

[Hunderas]

"EEEEKKKK! Thief, get him Growlithe." The Growlithe jumped onto the boy that just came into the house.
"Mom, wait I think I know him from somewhere. Uh, you're bleeding, Mom go get the first-aid kit, Growlithe get off of him." Roy said. His mom went into the kitchen and Growlithe jumped off of the boy. "Sorry about that I don't know why she doesn't use the lock anymore. So I'm Roy, This here is Growlithe," Roy looked around for the other three only to notice that they were not in the room. "the other three must be sleeping. Come on sit on the couch." Roy ushered the boy onto the couch, Roy's mom came in.
"Hi, sorry about that, I'm Crystal." (ooc: I'm not very good at names.) Crystal took the needle out of the boy's arm and wound it up with a bandage. "So why don't you start with you're name then well move on from there."

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon continues walking further on into the Slowpoke Well. He sees the occasional rocket grunt to stop and look at him and Gina, but mostly him. He just turns a glare on any one of them that does this and they hurriedly go back to work. After several minutes of walking, Shimon sees what looks like rocket grunts guarding an entrance to the deeper parts of the well. He doesn't even stop. He just keeps on walking, ready to knock down anyone who wanted to try and stop him, not that anyone was likely to try. And yet another rocket grunt working off to the side stops to look at him. He's had just about enough of the staring, so he raises a hand and points it in the grunts direction, his gaze falling upon Mithran. Understanding what Shimon wanted, Mithran used confusion on the rocket grunt, sending him flying back.

[Mr.WHAM]

After his awkward introduction, he was surprised to find out that the people in the house took such good care of him so openly. It seemed a little strange but it wasn't anything that well odd."My name is Abrax, but yo can call me either. As for how I came here, well I should explain what's happened to me in the last week." So Abrax gave them the general gist of he what happened; the intense battling, the trainers he'd met and most recently, how he managed to end up in their house. All the while, he couldn't help but look at Roy as if there was some familiarity about him. In his mind, Roy's face stood out trying to be matched with memories when he came around to the first dream he had. His eyes glazed over with a dim light as he remembered talking to the boy in his dream.

[i]"Yeah, I'll be the best. Sorry little Track but you'll be my friend and rival. Cool bro?" Abrax turned around and bumped into Roy immediately introducing himself upon standing. "i'll be eager to meet you too! You can never have enough fighters on your side." [/i]The scene ended with that as he refocused on answering questions Crystal and Roy may have had. The something else had occurred to him. The people who attacked him were probably the rocket members from before. "Hey Roy, did you meet any particularly powerful and mysterious trainers while you were journeying? Cause if so, I think we can help each other out and get those guys before they do something terrible. It's almost as if I can feel something bad about to happen in th epit of my stomach. Ya know what I'm talking bout? Or do I just look crazier now than before?"

[Reaper of Shadows]

"I'm sure its nothing," Rai said as he too had heard the rustling, but he didn't look certain. "Anyway, we should definitely be sure to stay on our guards. Especially with such strong pokemon." He tapped a command on his Poketex and released both his Marshtomp and Kirlia. "I want you guys to keep an eye out for any trouble alright. Team Magma is stirring things up in this area." Marshtomp growled and narrowed his eyes at the mention of them. Rai smiled and put his hand on it's shoulder. "Hey don't worry. I won't let anything-"

He was cut off however as a net flew from the trees behind them. Marshtomp was nimble enough to move out of the way, and brought Rai with him, but Xeo, his Kirlia, was not. Tangled up in the net, Kirlia fell to the ground in a heap. Rai rushed forward, but was blindsided by a Magmar that came from the forest. It slammed into him and sent him flying back, landing on the ground painfully. Marshtomp sprang forward, but was too swatted away by the Magmar.

"Magmar return," a deep voice called out. The Magmar nodded in satisfaction before it was sucked back into its pokeball. Issac rushed from his hiding spot, and scooped up the downed Kirlia. "Too bad kid, but you mess with Team Magma and you pay for it." Then, in an instant, he was gone, disappearing back into the forest.

"XEO!" Rai shouted as he slowly rose to his feet. Ignoring the pain coursing through his body, he rushed forward in pursuit of Issac. He ran throgh the trees,leaping over bushes and the like, straining his ears so that he could follow Issac's footsteps. Less than a minute later he reached a clearing, only to see Issac taking off on an Altaria. He waved back at Rai before he hit the tree top and flew away.

The clearing was empty. The forest was silent as Rai was lost in his thoughts. Nothing moved, no sounds were made. Everything was still. Rai sighed deeply before looking up and letting out single, anguished shout. Then, he headed began his journey back to the others. In no time at all, he was climbing over a bush to reach their clearing. He found Zero already ready, waiting for him. He had filled him in on his way back.

{We'll get him back} Zero said. {And they will pay, dearly, for what they've done.}

"Yes they will." He turned to the others. "I'm going. I will find Xeo, and I'm retty sure I have a good idea of where they're going. I can't expect you to help, though I would certainly appreciate it. So...will you help me."

[Hunderas]

(ooc so its not so confusing Crystal his mom will be in blue and Roy will be in normal, also she is an NPC if you couldn't guess so feel free to control her)

"Yeah, some dude with a Arcanine and a Pikachu. But wait how did you know."
[color=#0000CD]"Wait Roy you fought with an Arcanine and a Pikachu and you didn't tell me!" [/color]Roy's mom Crystal said.
"Mom I don't think now is such a good time to go over my travel when it's barely started."
[color=#0000cd]"I will tell you when a good time to tell me is when, Well than Abrax was it? Why don't you stay in Roy's room for the night. I will go get the futon out."[/color]
"But mom..." His mom cut him off before he got any farther.
[color=#0000CD]"So... Roy since you two seem to know each other so well why don't you let him sleep[/color][color=#0000CD] in you're room for the night." [/color]
"Alright, I guess so come on." Roy stood up and walked over to his room. It was a big room for the house it had two beds in it, one made out of the standard wood the other made out of metal. All along the walls were posters of Pokemon and there trainers. nest to both beds was a single dresser with a picture of Roy and Scizor back when it was still a Scyther. The metal bed had all three of Roy's Pokemon sleeping on it, Scizor ,who's bed it was originally, was sleeping on the right edge, Chimchar who laid belly down in the middle, and Kadabra who laid on the left edge of it. "Well I would introduce you to them but they seem to be knocked out already. so maybe in the morning. And you can also release your Pokemon in here I don't mind as long as it's not something bigger than the room."

[Mr.WHAM]

Abrax nodded, releasing out Apollo and Mazer. Doom however stayed in his Pokeball. It made sense for the Pitch-Black Pokemon to come out. The Gible that had been furiously attached to Abrax finally let go of him. He waddled over to Abrax and thrust himself on top of himself on top of him. "Hmmm. Little guy do you wanna stay with me?" The Gible nodded elated and excited, bouncing on Abrax's chest, puffs of air bursting out with each jump. Abrax selected one Pokeball from out of his PokeTex and a smile went over his face as he tapped the Pokeball on Gible's head as the red light absorbed it. Abrax mused to himself as the Pokemon was captured and then released. He smiled as he fell down saying, "Welcome to the team Ryugan..."

~~~~~

Abrax awoke to the sound of Crystal yelling at someone. Roy's mom was not a subtle woman so he expected that but the things she was saying weren't the average "Good Mornings" and "Hey! Get down stairs!" more like "Who are you?" and "What do you want with my son?" Those were important words, dangerously important words. He went straight for the window and his face awakened as he woke up his friends, purple hair rushing through the wind and jumped down the stairs. Nico and Lia were standing behind a hooded man who he assumed could be the man Roy battled.

"You must be Abrax. I am Rannel, a "friend" of Roy's. Can you tell me whe-"
"MAZER! BUG BUZZ! APOLLO! INCINERATE!"
Rannel smiled, punching Crystal in the stomach and rushing out of the house with her as the attacks exploded in the entrance of the doorway. Lia laughed as what appeared to be a Riolu was in here hands. "You're going to have be better than that to get us!" he cackled as they began to run off with the woman. Two small disks fell out of their foes' pockets; the way they bathed in the light, both of them could be seen to be TMs. Abrax went over to examine them and found them to be Flamethrower and Dream Eater. "ROY!!!! WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!!!!"

[Hunderas]

Roy woke up to the bang that happened down stairs "Hey guys wake up!" Roy threw a pillow at the three sleeping pokemon. He scurried out of bed and rushed to the door only to see his mom being taken away and Abrax yelling "ROY!!! WE NEED TO GO NOW!!!!"
"MOM! Growlithe go wake up teh three of them we need to go now." Growlithe ran up the stairs and jumped onto the bed pushing the three sleeping pokemon off of it. Forcing the three of them down the steps and out the door. "Growlithe I need you to find Mom. Scizor fly up and see if you can't find her." Scizor took off towards the sky and Growlithe took off after the villains. "Alright come on we gotta follow him." Roy followed after Growlithe.

[Mr.WHAM]

Abrax nodded, running besides Roy. "We need to know what we have to work with. So I'll tell you what my Pokemon Team can do. Mazer here knows Bug Buzz, Pursuit, Counter, and False Swipe. Apollo here," pointing to the red flamed Cyndaquil, "Knows Incinerate and Quick Attack. Adding on that TM for Flamethrower I just found, he'll be learning that too. I'll share it with you, by the way." Next he had Ryugan left whose attacks he did not know. He scanned the Pokemon with his PokeTex really quickly. It read: [i]DragonBreath, Sandstorm, [][][][][][], Tackle. Level 15. [/i] He read it out loud, noting the mystery move in his Pokedex. "Maybe it's an error. Or something unique. Regardless, let's keep it moving." The Magmas ran through to Route 3 so that's where the two of them headed. Intent on rescuing Crystal.
"Hurry the hell up. I can see them behind us," Rannel said pushing Nico and Lia in the door.
"Well he does have to carry this woman, who isn't coming so happily jeez." Her annoyance was blatant. "Whatever, do you know how we get to Jiraichi?"
Nico pointed forward to a set of rocks that were in the shape of a Clefable and Clefairy. The trio pressed the wings of the Pokemon together as the stones rose up, revealing elevators. They walked into them as Abrax ran inside the cave seeing them depart.

"Damn. We just missed them. But they went in through these elevators. We gotta get these guys. Pick a door."

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon just keeps walking and goes straight past the rockets. He doesn't even pay any attention to them as they stand at attention and give small salutes. They were probably ordered to make sure that he felt welcomed back into the fold anyway, so it meant little to nothing to him that they would accord him with a certain level of respect. As Shimon continued deeper on into the cave, the two rockets moved to block the girls access to the entrance leading deeper into the cave. "This is as far as you go girly." the one on the left says as he reaches behind him and takes hold of one of his pokeballs. The one standing next to him does likewise, but neither of them make any other movements seeing as they had been ordered to not start fighting right next to the entrance to the deeper portions to the cave.

[Mr.WHAM]

The Rocket Grunt looked at Shimon, leading him further into the cavern, past the area where even the most skilled adventurers knew of. There was a hole in the ground, man-made of course leading into the rather unexplored part of the cave. There were no more Rockets in this area, but Magmas all encircled around a floating white Pokemon. Anyone who knew their Pokemon would recognize it as the Legendary Jirachi, the Wish Pokemon. The Magmas had apparently captured this one whilst it slumbered. "What we want from you is simple really. We will be taking your Pokemon. Or rather I should say [i]they [/i]will be taking you [i]and [/i]your Pokemon. Have fun battling!" the rocket grunt cackled as he exited the chamber sealing Shimon inside.


"Well, then let's get this started!" A large Magma stepped out from the shadows. "I'm Jimbo the Giant and-" he punched a white box into the ground. It glowed as a dome surrounded the two battlers. "You see. I can't let you leave. Especially with [i]Him. [/i]However, if you win, you'll be released from this place. If you don't well...I wouldn't want to be you then! Choose your first Pokemon!" A Pokeball expanded revealing an Umbreon and a nasty looking one at that. "Uber and I wish to take out the trash as soon as possible. You know to get to Jirachi faster. This dome takes up a lot of space." His words rand true as all the other Magma members had either exited the level or retreated against a wall. Jirachi was unattainable so long as the battle would go on, but just how long would that be?

~~~~~~~

As Rai asked his question to Seishin and Saya, a golden mist overtook the young soon-to-be couple as Mirelay's Venemoth released a Stun Spore on them. Their eyes lit up with reaction as they were instantly paralyzed frozen in place. Unable to move, a String Shot wrapped the two up as Venemoth swooped in taking the two away, headed to the fields and caverns of Forina. "The kid would propbably have been right after them had that Stun Spore have not hit him too. ...You are sure it hit him Mirelay?"

"Yeah you worry wort. Now let's get a head sta- I mean let's go!" Issac looked at her with suspicions as Mirelay inwardly doubted whether the Stun Spore had actually hit Rai. He wasn't as close to the others and would have time to dodge it but-- [i]Shut it girl! You're a Team Magma Agent! We don't doubt ourselves! [/i]She shook of the thoughts and headed toward Forina, creeping in flight to their destination .

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon lifts his head a bit as he narrows his eyes. Some Magma grunt...taking HIS Pokemon? He thinks not. And the first Pokemon to come out is a dark type Pokemon. Bad news for the grunt. "Kazan." Shimon's Scyther steps forward, eyes focused on the Umbreon. "Finish him quickly." The Scyther lets loose a battle cry and moves further forward, taking a fighting stance. Shimon makes a few small hand movements to Mithran that to anyone else would hold no real meaning, but carries a very specific message to Mithran. Then Shimon begins walking towards the Magma Grunt Scyther charges forward. "Silver Wind." Scyther lets loose a silvery powder that heads straight for the Umbreon even as it widens to make it harder to dodge.

[Mr.WHAM]

A green aura surrounded the Pokemon as the Magma grunt calmly said "Uber, counter it with Protect. Then Follow up with Pursuit." The Pokemon charged in for the attack following Scyther's movements down to the very last flinch. The attack was headed straight for the Pokemon. As Shimon walked forward to him Jim smiled as about halfway through the battlefield a barrier went up, stopping his oncoming movement. "We can't get past here only the battling Pokemon can. I suggest you stay back unless you wish to forfeit your life. Battle me little twit, you're supposed to be good." Jimbo was goading him of course but it's not as if that Mewtwo of his could read his mind. They had taken precautions against such folly. After all, it IS Mewtwo. He looked on as the Pursuit was on top of the Scyther about to hit. [i]Good. I'll use it once more and then- [/i] He cackled as he looked at all that would happen. According to plan of course.

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon stopped at the barrier. His eyes were still narrowed, but otherwise his face had become completely unreadable. Meanwhile, Kazan waited until the Umbreon was practically on top of him before acting. However, instead of dodging, he used a quick attack to strike first, and possibly interrupt the Umbreon's pursuit attack. Meanwhile, Shimon raised an arm up and to the side, turning his head to face Mithran before lowering the arm. This in turn led Mithran to carry out the unspoken command, conveyed by thought that he was to use Psychic on the Magma grunt before taking a few steps away from the barrier.

[Mr.WHAM]

The Magma Grunt laughed as the Confusion attack aimed him fizzled off of his body creating blue sparks of light as the attack was nullifed. "We know about your Psychic-Type Pokemon's power boy. These closed are made from the coats of Dark Pokemon, so they are completely unaffected but such attacks. Trying to use such cheap tricks won't work. Guess your sad eh?" Uber and Scyther collided, both attacks hit the other pokemon, knocking them back a few feet. Uber raising to its legs looked at its Trainer, him nodding as he charged forward, his orange rings on his body beginning to shine. A gold orb of energy was encompassing his mouth as he got low right under Scyther. "Hyper Beam." The blast shot upward at an angle, powerful enough to rip a hole in each level of the Slowpoke Well. Whether or not Scyther was in that blast though was impossible to see. However, the giant had accomplished what he wanted. When the dust clears this battle will continue...

[Shadow Zero]

Blaze the Torchic was still on Shimon's head, so it would stand to reason that Shimon would get hit as well. However, combat reflexes from [s]years of government training[/s] his time among the rockets allowed him to avoid most of the attack that he would have been hit with, although he would still get a slight clip to the upper arm. By virtue of being on his head, Blaze was able to completely avoid the attack. Although Kazan and Mithran were both knocked over by the resulting clash of the attacks, They both immediately get up, not missing a beat. As Umbreon fires off its Hyper Beam, Kazan dodges to the side, scythes raised high as it used focus energy while the Hyper Beam was still firing. Then he followed up with a Pursuit of his own.

[Mr.WHAM]

As Uber had to recharge from the Hyper Beam, so the hit landed straight into Uber's side. He took the hit not being really affected by the strength of the attack. It was a Dark Type Move after all. Jimbo called out "Sunny Day" as the cave filled up with sunlight. "All My Pokemon have an item, and this one in particular has a Heat Rock. That sunlight isn't going anywhere." He cackled as he thought about what to do. He whipped out a Pokeball and out popped a Flareon, with some black substance on its fur. Jimbo looked at the boy. "Bring out that little fire birdie of yours. Let me show you the Inferno that burns inside Team Magma!" The Umbreon was covered in darkness as it readied another Pursuit. Ever ready, Jimbo senses would react to the moment as needed. [i]I'll end up sacrficing these two, but there will be nothing he can do about my last one...[/i]

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon smirked a bit. A challenge, was it? But he had ideas of his own. After all, it's not exactly easy to fight, if you can't move or aim properly, now is it? That said, Shimon instead sends Mithran into the fray. As Kazan prepared to use false swipe, Mithran raised a hand and used confusion on Flareon, his aim being to slowly raise Flareon into the air as it is being damaged by the attack before slamming it into the ground for extra damage. For his part, Shimon merely watches, his expression once again being unreadable, his arms folded as he observed the battle along with the Torchic on his head. "Observe well Blaze, for soon enough, you shall enter the fray as well." Blaze nodded once as he did his best to keep his eye on the separate battles taking place in front of him.

[Mr.WHAM]

"Tch. Of course you would do that. Go ahead you two. Do 6 Dash Echo!" The Umbreon slammed into the Mewtwo, hitting it and dealing some significant damage. Flareon being, released from the confusion, went ahead and use a Flame Charge. As it descended from the air, it gained speed and force as it slammed into the ground. If that move hit, Scyther would be done. He looked at his Flareons HP. "That Confusion of yours is quite nice, taking out a fourth of my HP. Forcing me to do this, early I suppose. Flareon, return. Nyes, come red on out." Sableye appear in front of the two trainers, its face giving off a demented smile. "This is special just for you. I swapped out my Torkoal for this bad boy right here." He looked at his opponent, gauging him for any expression. No such Luck. "Protect Uber."

[Shadow Zero]

Mewtwo was smashed into, but aside from being forced back several feet and a bit of heavy breathing, he seemed all right. Only problem was that now he was up against a Dark Type, meaning his moves would not be effective. He teleported to Shimon's side, sitting on the ground to rest. Taking this as his cue, Blaze charged right in, firing Ember right from the start. Meanwhile, Scyther jumped into the air and out of the way, and angry gleam in its eye. Play time was over for him now. He let loose a battle cry and used Vacuum Wave in Umbreon's direction, aiming to take advantage of the Dark Type weakness to fighting moves as told to him by Shimon in a previous training session.

[Mr.WHAM]

The aura of the protect shielded them against the oncoming attacks. Sableye smiled as he was commanded to use Snarl. The attack echoed outward as it was aimed to hit both opponents. "Uber use Hyper Beam!" The giant grunt smiled as he knew that if Snarl didn't hit both Torchic and Scyther that Hyper Beam would be sure to knock out the other. "Give up boy there's no way you can defeat me!" The Giant spoke strong words as he was clearly at an advantage in terms of power. This fight would be determined in brief moments. Times when skills came into play and they were executed. That was something that the grunt seemed to lack, real skill. He smiled as Jirachi's sleeping eye opened and glowed. The deed went unnoticed, but Jimbo looked down at his watch. He needed this to be over so, he shortened their battlefield, giving enough room to let the rest of the Magmas out and escape with the Jirachi. Deeds done, he turned to finish the rest of his mission.

[Shadow Zero]

Shimon knew what was about to happen. This also had been covered in a previous training session. If there were multiple Pokemon out all at once and one of them knew Teleport, it was to be used to as advantageous a degree as possible. Mithran used Teleport to get all of them out of range of the attacks so as to have their opponents attacked from behind. At least, that's what he thought should happen. Instead, it was to be that and more. Mithran reached out not only to his trainer and fellow Pokemon, but to the Sneasel as well, his aim being to put Sneasel in front of Umbreons attack. Blaze would be using an ember attack after teleportation while Mithran would be following up his teleportation with a Swift attack, taking advantage of the fact that the Umbreon would have to recover after using Hyper Beam. As for Kazan's part, he would be using Silver Wind again. Mewtwo is starting to breath heavily by this point though, and is probably capable of using only one or two more attacks in this battle.

[HoneycombTroy]

In Pewter City, a young boy was having trouble to sleep. He was having a dream. A nightmare. He saw visions. A huge mountain. A battle. And a silhouette of a small pokemon. He awoke in fear. “[i]Hmm, just like the dream I had that started my journey” [/i]he thinks to himself. He starts having flashbacks. He sees Blaine, the gym leader of Cinnabar Island, he’s home town. Blaine hands a younger version of him a Pokeball that contains a Growlithe, he’s first Pokemon. He then remembers his ferry trip to Pallet Town, where he fought and won his first Pokemon Battle against another young boy who had a Rattata. He remembers walking though Viridian Forest and even catching a Mankey on a little side path near Viridian City. And now he was here, in a hotel in Pewter City.
“I wonder if these dreams mean anything,” he says to himself.
He pulls out a piece of paper and pen and starts writing down important parts of these dreams.
[i]EndEra? Don’t know what that could mean[/i]
[i]Huge Mountain? Closest one is Mt. Moon.[/i]
That was all he needed, he knew he had to go to Mt. Moon. He started too quickly pack is stuff, and ran out to the streets of Pewter City. He checked the time on his Pokedex. [i]3:47 a:m Earlier than I usually wake up. Hope I’m ready for this.[/i]
When Roy got to the entrance of Mt. Moon, he stopped for a sec. He pulled out two Pokeball’s and released the pokemon inside of them.
A Growlithe and Mankey appeared.
“You ready for this guys? “ Roy asks his Pokemon.
Both his Pokemon nod, so he enters Mt. Moon.

[Mr.WHAM]

Jimbo decided to show them what his power was. Nyes the Sableye turned around to see the attacks coming forward to hit he and his partner. He jumped in front of the Pokemon at the last instant, using Snarl to combat the oncoming attacks. "Fairness? Who needs it!" Jimbo sent out his Flareon, which was livid. "Sunny day again! Then Flareon charged a white beam in it's mouth as a Solar Beam began to shoot out aimed, at the Scyther. All Jimbo did was nod, as the Sableye used the move Shadow Sneak. It wouldn't miss; it never does. The Sableye disappeared, half of its body reappearing aiming a punch a Mewtwo. In that instance, the cave seemed to be filled with a brighter glow than before as the sunlight seemed to intensify and it shook.

Back at Mount Moon, Abrax saw the trainer brush up against him, breaking his intense concentration on the Magmas. "Hey, who are--" A glazed look overtook his eyes as he remembered Roy from the dream, which was constantly annoying. "Nice to see you again!" he said, a smile trying to ease into his face. "There are these bad guys here, and they've kidnapped my friends mom and I'm pretty sure my other pal too. They're also trying to steal a very important Pokemon! C'mon, you should help us!" Abrax went down to the lower level as he met the silent one in a dome. Outside of the area, two other Magmas, we're running off woth a Jirachi. "Damn it! I'm too late." Nico was standing before him, his newly caught Dugtrio out, alongside it, Slugma. "I'll fight you." Two Pokeballs appeared in his hand as Abrax, sent out Apollo and Mazer. The two seemed to have grown and he found out he was correct as he scanned both of them with his Poketex, revealing their levels to be 18 and 17 respectively. "Well let's see how you can function now! Apollo, take this."r. He gave the Pokemon the TM for flamethrower and the red flames on his back flared up and died down, the black core deepening in color. The Poketex beeped. "Your Pokemon now knows 5 moves." He looked at the list of attacks: Incinerate, Tackle, Quick Attack, Flamethrower, and Flare Blitz. He smiled as he begun the battle. "Mazer Bug Buzz on that Dugtrio. Flamethrow it!

A flamethrower erupted from the Slugma, attempting to counter Apollo's. They were actually weaker than Apollo's special flame, so they stood little of a chance to stop it. They did stall it however. Meanwhile, the Dugtrio went underground and attempted to dodge the attack. Luckily soundwaves travel through ground, so it hit, but it was nowhere near as strong. Nico looked at Abrax and threw a piece of Track's clothes on the floor. His expression unchanged as Abrax became appaled at what lay before him. The unyielding stare said my turn as Nico stomped his foot and raised his arm out ward, his Pokemon flying towards Abrax's.
