Chapter III: The Wonderful Helpful Help Center! Unlike what I was going to do, I actually go to the Help Center instead. Gotta get the rewards, you know. I start from the top, and help a girl find her Pokemon. The girl and her Turtwig were playing by the gym until they were separated by this thug. Turtwig ran one way, and she ran the other. She's been looking all over the city ever since. She says that he might be in a grassy area, but wonders if the thug caught him. He likes to hang out in alleyways, so that's where I look. Sure enough, I find Turtwig cornered by the thug near the Gearen Laboratory. The thug notices me, and I battle him for Turtwig. I beat the thug, and he flees. The Turtwig thanks me, and heads to the Pokemon Center. The girl thanks me, and I head back to the Help Center for the reward. The next request is to teach a mother's son a lesson for skipping school. I find him at the Chrisola Hotel down in the battle room, and he rufeses to go to school. Time for Lesson 101: Never mess with me. I battle him, and beat him down with Swoop. He even claims that he was the strongest trainer in Gearen. This kid is obviously lying. He realizes he has so much to learn, and promises to go to school, just to beat me one day. He leaves, and I go back to the Help Center to get my reward. The next request is to deliver a love letter to a person somebody likes, but this guy doesn't have the balls to ask her out. I meet him at the park right in front, and he gives me the love letter. He says that Cameron usually hangs out on the other side of the city. Another guy? Well, not my problem. I find Cameron, and give him the love letter. No surprise, he says yes, and wants me to tell him that he'll meet him later. I head back to the Help Center to get my reward. The next request is to deliver something because the person is too busy with work. I head to the Pokemart, and I meet this weird guy who gives me a weird letter. He tells me that there are thieves running amok in the city, and tells me to deliver this to a police officer by the lab. I find the police officer by the lab, and it seems that the scientist wants them to stop patrolling around there, which is super shady. The officer goes to investigate further, and he gives me a Reverse Candy, which is popular with kids. He leaves, and I head back to the Pokemart, telling the scientist that the officer is even more suspicious. He panics, and says that he has to warn his colleagues. He retreats, and I head back to the Help Center to get my reward. I get some money, and ANOTHER Nugget. I'm gonna be rich if this keeps up... Rich in balls! Pokeballs, to be specific! The next request is take out a Snubbull that attacked somebody. Snubbull is around Oceana Pier, and I find it there. Turns out that it's a wild Snubbull, because I managed to catch it! Since Snubbull is now contained, I head to the Help Center to collect my reward. The last request for Level 1 is to battle somebody to see how good she is. It tells me to meet them at the battle room in Chrisola Hotel, and I head there. I meet the girl who wants to battle, and she thanks me. She battles me, and she is not playing around. Let's go! Hardcore Trainer Adrian sends out Helioptile, while I send out Venom, who knocks out Helioptile with a few Double Kicks. Adrian sends out Vivillon, while I send out Swoop, who nearly goes down, but knocks Vivillon with a few Gusts. Adrian sends out Vulpix, while I send out Noice. Unfortunately while I heal Swoop, Noice gets knocked out by Vulpix's Hex from when Noice was burned. Fortunately, Swoop comes out and confuses Vulpix with Confusion. While Vulpix hurts itself, Swoop knocks it out with Confusion, while learning Heart Stamp. Adrian sends out Eevee, but unfortunately knocks out Swoobat from Eevee's Shadow Ball. I send out Venom, who nearly knocks Eevee down, but gets knocked out by Eevee's attacks. I send out Charles, who destroys it with Dragon Rage. Adrian sends out Poochyena, who also gets destroyed from Dragon Rage. Adrian sends out Hawlucha, who confuses Charles with Swagger, but also gets knocked out by Dragon Rage. With all six of Adrian's Pokemon defeated, (Gosh, she's like a gym leader!), I win the battle! With Venom at level 16, he evolves into... Nidorino! Adrian says that I'm really strong, and thanks me for battling with her. She tells me that she left the reward back at the Help Center, so I head there without further delay. However, she also says that I'm really a hotshot trainer, and says that maybe we can battle again someday. I head to the Help Center, and I get some money and a Litleo for completing every request! I name Litleo Pyro. With all of the requests done, I leave. Okay, NOW it's time to have some fun! Current Stats: Venom has evolved into Nidorino, and more Pokemon were caught. I still have yet to catch a Murkrow, but that's fine. Also, Dragon Rage is an AWESOME move early game. Pretty much knocks out opponents in two hits. Some Pokemon learned new moves, such as Swoop learning Heart Stamp. Charmeleon Name: Charles Level: 18 Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Dragon Rage Nidorino Name: Venom Level: 17 Moves: Poison Sting, Peck, Focus Energy, Double Kick Noibat Name: Noice Level: 15 Moves: Screech, Supersonic, Bite, Gust Woobat Name: Swoop Level: 15 Moves: Confusion, Heart Stamp, Gust, Assurance

I do wonder what the rest of the pages are like... Unfortunately, somebody wanted Amaria to herself.

Chapter II: The Beginning Of An Epic Adventure, The Murky Gearen Sewers Below, And Mr. Bigglesworth's Origin Story! I leave Gearen Laboratory, and explore the city a bit. I decide to explore the west side of the city, and so I head left. I battle some trainers, and one even wants to have a jam session. Umm... no... Fortunately, the Name Rater lives right next to the first trainer I battled, so I formally name Charmander Charles. I explore some more, and battle more trainers. I see the Help Center, but that's for another time. Eventually, I see a guy in front of a building, and bother him until he gives me more Pokeballs. I see another guy blocking a building, and I battle him to get inside. It leads me into a shop where I learn about Reverse Candy, the complete opposite of Rare Candy. If Pokemon grow too powerful to obey, I can use some of these to get them back into submission. I find some apartments, and I battle trainers and get items. I battle some more trainers, and a girl who calls me ghetto trash. It's funny, because she looks like ghetto trash, and her name is Bianca. I can guess what happened to Bianca after Pokemon Black 2.... She says me and her should talk sometime. Okay, no. I'm out of here. I head to the Violet Apartments, and I learn that Aevium is divided into three sections from when it shattered. Eventually, I get bored of battling trainers, so I decide to catch some Pokemon. Much to my surprise, I manage to find a Noibat at night near a fancy hotel. I manage to catch it, and name it Noice. I catch a few other Pokemon, such as Purrloin, Paras, and even Murkrow, which I name Don Krow. I catch some more Pokemon, and train some a little bit. I then head past the Violet Apartments, and find a house. Before I can walk up to the door, I hear somebody yelling at a girl named Veronica to put down the music, which is a familiar tune... Veronica disrespects her by calling her an extremely disrespectful word, and even asks her if she knows who this is. Veronica tells her that it's Roxie's newest hit song, "Dogars!", and that she's not putting it down. I can assume that the other woman must be Veronica's mother, because she says that, and smacks Veronica! Veronica realizes what's happening, and tells her mother to chill. She apologizes, but the beat down continues. She gets kicked out of the house, and gets locked out. Her mother tells her not to come back until she's learned some manners, and Veronica is annoyed. She notices me, and apologizes. She asks me if I heard all of that nonsense in the back, and I did. She tells me not to worry because this is a common thing, and that she gets locked out at least once a day. She introduces herself as Venam, contrary to what her mother calls her. She says that she prefers Venam, and she pronounces it to me as Venum. She also tells me that she's the gym leader of this city, which is awesome. However, she doesn't have time to have a gym battle with me right now because she's going to go hang out with her friends first. She says that I seem pretty cool, and invites me to tag along with her. She tells me that we're meeting at the gray building right next to her house here. But EVERY building is gray! She gets specific, and says that it's the one with the purple guitar on it. That's better! She says that I literally cannot miss it. Okay, I get it! She leaves, and I go to the door. Her mother thinks that it's Veronica at the door, and tells me to go away, saying that she doesn't want to let Veronica inside yet. I then follow Venam to the building. When I head inside the building, Ren notices me, and sees that I am the one that Venam was talking about. He's happy about that, and sees that I was able to find this place without his help. He tells me that Melia didn't go to Goldenwood Forest yet because she came here first for some of her research. We head down to the sewers, and Ren welcomes me to the Gearen Sewers. He tells me that this is just a little place that Venam runs in her spare time, and everyone here respects and looks up to her. He tells me not to expect to waltz up in here and act like i own the place because people will take me down. He says that from here on out, we should team up because there are a lot of tough trainers down here. I take Ren up on the offer, and we walk from there. We battle the trainers in our path, and pass by a place that sells Chinese food. We continue, and find more trainers. However, we also find a trainer who tells us that most people don't know of these sewers anymore because it was abandoned long ago. The only people who know are kids who hang out here and cause mischief. He, however, hides illegal items down here. Eventually, we make it to the end and find Venam, along with another girl. The girl is amazed at this discovery, and we see two Trubbish and a shiny Garbodor. She sees that the trash bags that were thrown down here mutated into Pokemon. She looks at her syllabus, and sees that the two smaller trash bags are Trubbish, while the bigger trash bag is Garbodor. She sees me and Ren, and wonders who I am. Venam introduces me to her, and says that I'm a new trainer in Aevium. Ren says that he decided he'd let me tag along with him on this joyous adventure, but really, he needed a partner to get through the sewers. This must be Melia, because she says that Ren is as charming as ever. She says we should check it out, and says that the trash bags she left here the other day turned into Pokemon. She tells us that she was curious to see if the bacteria of Grimer in this sewer would mutate these trash bags somehow. Sure enough, she was right. Ren gets bored of the scientific jabber, and asks her if she was supposed to be at Goldenwood at the moment. Melia says that she was, but this was way more important. She's sure that her father won't mind at all because this is groundbreaking. I'm sure he WILL mind... There's just something odd about him... Venam doesn't get any of this, but says that as long as it makes Poison-type Pokemon, then she's cool with it. She tries catching one of the Trubbish, but Garbodor gets angry. Venam wonders if it was something she said, and Ren scolds her for it. Venam turns to Ren, and asks him how it's her fault, but just as she tries defending herself, Garbodor creeps up to Melia and kidnaps her! Melia says that it escalated quickly, and Venam is shocked. Ren talks to me, and says that this isn't good. He tells me that we're gonna have to fight that thing, and set Melia free. I agree, and we confront the trash bags. Garbodor roars, and Ren silences it. Venam compliments Ren's pun, and our battle with Garbodor begins. Give back Melia, you scraps of filth! The Garbodor Garbage Crew attacks, as Garbodor sends his two Trubbish minions after us. Ren sends out Murkrow, while I send out Charles. We knock out the Trubbishes with Ember and Pursuit. The big shiny Garbodor comes out, and Murkrow goes down from when it was poisoned. I send out Noice, and Ren sends out Froakie. We gang up on Garbodor, and attack with Gust and Quick Attack. Eventually, Garbodor goes down, and we win the battle! After the battle, Charles evolves into... Charmeleon! Ren declares that it is over, and demands for Melia to be released. Melia apologizes to Ren, and says that she doesn't need his help. She sends out a shiny Zorua, who uses Dark Pulse on Garbodor. While Garbodor and his Trubbish minions are attacking Zorua, Venam takes the opportunity to catch the Trubbish next to her, and says that we already know why. Ren sees that any time is Pokeball time. Melia tells Garbodor and Trubbish to leave, but something's odd about that Trubbish... I feel that something either great or terrible will happen to that Trubbish, anytime, and anywhere... They leave, and Melia says that was more annoying than anything. She says that if she's going to become a gym leader soon, then she's going to have to fend for herself. She returns Zorua to its Pokeball, and Venam agrees with Melia. She says that since we're all done here, she's gonna go back home and continue her jam session. She leaves with a phrase, which Ren questions, saying that she has a funny way in which she addresses her friends. Melia tells us not to mind Venam because she only means well. She says that she should get going as well, and tells me that if I'm not busy doing anything, if I would like to go to Goldenwood with her. Umm... Are you asking me on a date? She says that going there by herself is so boring, and she needs someone to record some data with her. She says that if I'm interested, I should meet her there. She leaves, and Ren says that we should get going, too. We leave Gearen Sewers, and Ren tells me that he has some business to take care of out in Route 2. He tells me that the North Train Station is on the very north-western part of town. He says that if I get lost, I should just walk towards the park, and then head north from there. He tells me to take the train to Goldenwood Forest, and that Melia will meet me there. He leaves, and I head down to the sewers to catch more Pokemon. After I catch more Pokemon, I head to the Aqua Apartments, and talk to a guy named Maurice on the top floor. He mumbles that they got shipments from the last night, but they'll have to gt the rest of the shipment. He realizes I'm there, and wonders what I'm doing there. He realizes that I came at the most opportune moment, and tells me that he's supposed to be buying some stuff from this gal. He says that she's supposed to meet him on the most southern side of town, but he's got work cut out for him here. He asks me to go get the shipment for him, and I oblige without saying anything. He tells me that she hangs out by poisonous water in the southernmost part of town. He tells me to hurry, and I go. I head down to the southeastern side of town, and I see a girl near a truck. She sees that I'm there to pick up the stuff for Maurice, and she says that he is lazy. She gives me the Mystery Good, and tells me to tell Maurice to stop being so lazy. She disappears, and I head back to Maurice. He gives me a Nugget, and tells me to come back later in case he has more stuff for me. I sell the Nugget for more Pokeballs, and I head out to Goldenwood Forest. Time to have some fun! Current Stats: Charles has officially been renamed, AND evolved into a Charmeleon! I caught quite a bit of Pokemon, but some made it onto the list. Yes, I still need to catch Murkrow, but that name is a placeholder for when I do catch it. I named Noibat Noice in honor of a phrase that Shofu says. I would name it Shofu, but I decided to do that for a Darmanitan. I've also decided to use the 3D models for the Pokemon instead of the sprites. This is because of 6th Generation Pokemon such as Noibat. Charmeleon Name: Charles Level: 16 Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Dragon Rage Nidoran Name: Venom Level: 15 Moves: Poison Sting, Peck, Focus Energy, Double Kick Noibat Name: Noice Level: 15 Moves: Screech, Supersonic, Bite, Gust Woobat Name: Swoop Level: 12 Moves: Confusion, Odor Sleuth, Gust, Assurance

Do we report any placement errors, too? Not sure if anybody's seen this, but in Gearen City, there's a Mistress trainer next to the East Gym standing behind a rock and over a tree. I can still talk to her, but it just seemed odd. This is in version 5.5, too.

What about Wallace? Would he have a Mega Milotic?

Is there a person who can change the nature of Pokemon like the Psychologist down in 7th Street in Reborn? I just got a shiny Charmander, but it has Quiet nature. I was wondering if there was a way to change the nature so it can be more battle-ready.

And when it doesn't have a star when catching, it wouldn't have it when it's purified, right? Unless it's recalculated, and it could have a star when purified, but not when catching. I could be wrong, though.

So how does soft-resetting for shiny shadow Pokemon work? Does it show a star when you battle it as a shadow Pokemon, or is it determined when you purify it? I'm wondering, because I want to catch a shiny shadow Froakie, but I don't know if I have to purify it to determine that or not. Heck, I don't even know if shadow Pokemon are locked from becoming shinies or not.

Chapter I: My Tragic Prologue Now MY story starts when it tells me that Pokemon Rejuvenation offers a variety of difficulty modes to choose from. It says that this stems from Casual, Normal (Reborn Style), and Intense mode. However, once it has been chosen, it cannot be undone. I choose to play it Reborn Style, and it shows me the introduction. A girl appears in black and red appears, and welcomes me to the Aevium region. She introduces herself as Amaria, and says that she would like to take this opportunity to welcome me to the Aevium Region. However, before we proceed with the registration, she says that she would ask if I'll lend me her ear some of Aevium's history. "The Aevium region used to be one huge region, but long ago it was severed by unknown forces. Some believe that it was the work of legendary Pokemon. Others believe that natural causes destroyed the region." However, she ends the story, and we proceed with the registration process. First things first, she reveals that she is a Scout for the Aevium League. She looks for trainers who show great skill, and promise. She says that since my mother is a well-known battler, she decided to hand-me-down and invitation to the league. We then begin registration, but asks me if I'm in need of assistance. I take a look at the controls, and continue. She sends out a Malamar, and says that the world is filled with mystical creatures known as Pokemon. She explains that even though the region is in pieces, Pokemon from all over live on this region. She says that Pokemon are essential for my journey ahead. We finally get on with my trainer card, as she asks me if I'm a boy or a girl. I'm a guy, and she gives me two appearances to choose from. Since this is a direct prequel story, I choose the one on the left. I mean, it looks almost exactly like Vero, does it not? She asks for my name, which my name is Trevo. She congratulates me, because now I'm registered in the Aevium League! She tells me that my boat should be docking at Oceana Pier at any moment now, and says that she'll meet me in the lobby of Gearen Laboratory for further assistance. She wishes me good luck, and says that she can't wait to see what I'm truly capable of. I get off the computer, and it says that my registration is complete. I'm one step of the way there to becoming a Trainer! I take a look around me, and I see people screwing up on their emails, bored to death, and excited. I step outside of the computer room, and a sailor tells me that the ship will be arriving soon, and that I should go back to my room now. I talk to the sailor at the exit, and he says that we should be arriving at Oceana Pier in about 30 minutes. I talk to the sailor in front of the stairs, and he says that upstairs is the Captain's quarters, but he isn't allowing any visitors as of yet. I take a look at the other rooms, and a woman is happy to return home after being in Unova for a month, with her daughter waiting for her at Oceana Pier. I look outside, and see people excited and not excited about Fried Krabby. I take a look in another room, and a girl is hopping on the bed, saying that her parents aren't with her, so she can do whatever she wants. Way to make use of your time... I see that some rooms are off limits, while the storage room is off limits, too because it's too dangerous for kids to go into. The sailor rudely says that he doesn't care how old I think I am, and that I'm still just a kid. I head outside, and go ahead and talk to the people around me. They give me important facts, such as information about Pokemon not obeying, and that I can choose any starter I want, including Kalos starters! I then talk to a mysterious girl who asks me if I need anything from her. She says that she would appreciate it if I would go on with my business. However, she then gives me a warning, telling me not to wander too far off. I wonder what that's about? I head back to my room, and see my pink-haired mother. She asks me if the registration process is already complete, and says that when she first became a trainer, that process lasted at least an hour. She also asks me if it's nice to have a whole new beginning in life. She says that it's incredible that moving your location can change everything. She knows that I didn't want to leave Unova, but she promises that she will make it up to me one day. Well, I did and didn't want to leave Unova. I didn't want to leave my friends, but I wanted to leave my enemies behind. It's a twisted circle of life. She says that since we have a few minutes before the Grand Feast, I should go speak to the captain. She says that he's an old friend of my grandpa, and he also used to be an extremely powerful trainer in his day. She says that maybe he can teach me a few things, and tells me not to worry about her because she'll be here when I get back. I head upstairs to the captain's quarters, which isn't blocked anymore. I meet the captain, and he recognizes me as Nancy's child because I have her eyes. Well, my eyes are more darker... I'm just wearing green color contacts. He introduces himself as Augustus Briney, and he is the captain of this ship. Is he by any chance related to Mr. Briney from Hoenn? He tells me that my mother's father was one of his good friends, and he welcomes us both to the Aevium region. He says that the Aevium region is home to many powerful trainers, and it does things a bit differently than other regions. He tells me that there are 18 gym leaders, and instead of an Elite 4, there's an Elite 8! He also tells me that Pokemon also tend to disobey their trainers depending on how many badges their trainers have. He sees that we have run out of time, and says that the Grand Feast is about to begin! He says that he has to go out there and give his spe- Just then, an explosion occurs, and Augustus freaks out, and wonders what the huge explosion was. A man wearing black and red appears, and reports that the target is sighted, and initiates capture. Augustus stops him right there, and says that he's never seen him aboard this ship. He demands who he is, and the man says that there's no time for chatter. He reports that the target is sighted, and to initiate the attack. He apologizes to Augustus, and says that his time here is done. He leaves, and the whole room gets destroyed. Augustus is trapped in his seat, and asks me if I'm alright, and if I'm not harmed. He sees that he is stuck there, and tells me to go find my mother and get off this wretched ship. He tells me not to worry about him, and says that he's been in tougher situations. He tells me to go, and so I do. When I get out of the room, something happens in there, and Augustus moans in pain. I try to go back in there to see if he's alright, but something's blocking the door. I have no choice but to continue. When I get downstairs, a hole is made so that I can no longer return to Augustus's room. I see people caught by tentacles, and I am horrified. What is WRONG with these terrorists? ANOTHER kinky situation? No thanks. I talk to the boy face flat on the ground, and he's begging his mommy to help him before he gets pulled into the depths below... I head outside, and I find more people trapped. However, I see three Deoxys', only to see that they don't seem like Deoxys' at all, but more... twisted versions of it. I also see black and red boats, which means that this is definitely a terrorist attack. When I go inside, I see that the Deoxys clones are staring at me now... Yeah, I'm going back inside. I head to the computer room, only to see another boy get pulled into the depths below. I look around, and the young man with his girlfriend is missing his girlfriend. I head inside the room, and the sailor tells me to protect the guests at all costs. I head to the sailor blocking the storage room, and he is panicking so badly, he's a hypocrite when he tells ME not to panic. He tells me to go back to my room, but I just head outside. The girl who gave me the warning is nowhere to bee seen, and there are more Deoxys clones. I do what everybody has been telling me to do, and I head back to my room, only to see my mother missing. I freak out, and leave the room, only to hear my mother go into the storage room. The sailor warns them not to go, and says that it isn't safe. Mother says that she doesn't have time for his blabbering, and slaps him aside, making the sailor whine. However, when I go over there, the sailor is nowhere to be seen. I head down to the storage room, and see a few survivors. They say that they're hiding down here until help arrives. I talk to the other two trainers, and a tentacle grabs Colin, while the other trainer screams in horror. The tentacle pulls Colin down below, and the other trainer is freaking out, saying that we're all going to die. The girl says that she's too young to die, and I decide to end all of this by going into the next room. When I go into the next room, I see water spewing everywhere, as the ship is starting to sink. I see my mother with her Sylveon fighting off a strange woman with a Deoxys clone. She furiously asks the strange woman what she's doing to the ship, and says that she's going to shipwreck it. The woman callously agrees, and says that the ship is already a wreck. She tells Mother that there isn't any hope for this ship anyways. She then asks Mother to stop being so stubborn and just come with her, and says that she doesn't plan on going to Madame X without her. She also says that she doesn't see any reason why she should struggle. Mother defends herself, and says that she's not going anywhere with her. She demands where her child is, as she said that she brought me here. The woman reveals that was a lie just to get her to follow her, but sees that she wasn't completely lying, as she sees me behind Mother. My mother turns around, and sees me. The woman orders Dexoy to take out Sylveon, and it does without a fight. Mother sees what's going on, and returns Sylveon to its Pokeball. She says that she has one more left, but she needs it to get off the boat with me. The woman says that she's right, and that she doooooes need that Pokemon to get off this boat. She says that she's offering a free, luxurious ride off the Xen ship. She promises that she'll get first class, aka the storage closet. Mother tells me that we should run and get off this ship, and the woman traps her with Dexoy! Those Dexoy must be the ones that are capturing those innocent people! She tells her not to think that she's getting away, and tells me that the Team Xen storage closet has room for two. She also says that it's ready for a mother-child party... *Trevo used Run Away!* The woman sees that they have a runner, and starts Operation: Get My Butt Back Here. She unleashes Dexoy at me, and I keep running. I see the two survivors captured, and I escape. I head outside from the west exit, and see three Dexoys. They all come after me, and the woman appears from behind me, smugly saying that I'm surrounded. She then asks me to be a good little kid, and follow her. However, a cry is heard, and she wonders what it is. Just then, a Talonflame comes to my rescue, and we fly away from the wretched ship. "You've escaped me now, child. However, next time we meet... don't expect to be so lucky." We reach Oceana Pier, and somebody asks Talonflame if it found anymore survivors. Just then a woman arrives, and sees me. She asks Talonflame if I'm a survivor, and it replies with a cry of yes. She sees that I am a survivor from the S.S. Oceana, and introduces herself as Tesla. She tells me that the Talonflame that rescued me is her Talonflame. She tells me that she was flying over the ship when she saw smaller Team Xen ships catching up behind it. She tells me that Team Xen is a mysterious organization that's been harassing Aevium for years. She ends her information about Team Xen, and asks if I'm hurt. She asks me if I was alone on that ship, and I explain what happened. She is shocked as I told her that I was coming here with my mother, and she was taken by Team Xen. She sees that this is a sticky situation, and says that after she's done looking for survivors, she'll notify the authorities on what happened. She tells me that I should probably head up north to Gearen City, and says that I'll need a Pokemon if I want to make it around this region. She says that she should get going, and hops on Talonflame. She wishes me good luck, and hopes that things work out with my mother. She also asks me my name before I go, and I tell her. She promises that we'll meet again, and she flies off. I explore Oceana Pier, and see people waiting for the S.S. Oceana. Too bad it's never going to come. Everybody's captured or dead, and there will be no shipments coming in. I see signs all over the place, and I head to the gate. I get warned that Gearen City is not a place for weak trainers. I enter Gearan City, and see that I only have one path to go: The building that is surrounded by toxic water. I enter Gearen Laboratory, and I see Amaria waiting for me. She asks me what took so long to get here, and just as I'm about to explain what happened, she tells me not to worry about it, saying that a lot of people are usually late to these things because they're nervous. That's not the case at all... The ship was attacked, and my own mother was kidnapped by terrorists! She could be tortured, or even dead by now! Do you have ANY idea what's going on?! She tells me to meet her up ahead so that we can get things started. I follow her to the front desk, and she tells the lady that she's here to distribute a starter to a newbie. The door opens, and she tells me that the main lab is on the second floor. I follow Amaria, but just when I'm about to enter the door, I bump into a girl, and she apologizes. I move out of her way, and she leaves. Just what was that about? I head to the second floor, and I follow Amaria, who reports to Jenner that she finally has a new trainer here for me. He turns around, and introduces himself as Professor Jenner, the head scientist of this establishment. Amaria says that we got that, and says that he knows how eager trainers are to finally get their starter Pokemon, and tells him not to make me wait any longer. Professor Jenner says that she's right, and says that he doesn't think that kids are interested in stuff he does anyways. Hmm... He could be hiding something by saying that... I'll have to keep a close eye on him. He asks me if I want a starter Pokemon, and tells me to just take the door I see behind him where they keep Pokemon for their trainers. He unfortunately says that I can only be able to take one Pokemon out of all the Pokemon that are currently inside. Therefore, I must choose carefully. Amaria tells me that she'll be waiting for me out here. I take a look at the bookshelf next to Professor Jenner because it looks suspicious. However, since there's nothing I can do about it, I head inside the door. I head inside the room, and the lady says that each type of Pokemon are put into sections, so I shouldn't have a problem finding anything. Unfortunately, starters from Kalos are unavailable, but they have plenty to choose from. I was lied to on that ship! Oh well, I already know what I'm choosing. I take one look around. I choose... Charmander! After many soft-resets, I receive a Shiny Charmander, and I name him Charles. I head outside, and Professor Jenner says that Charmander is an excellent choice, and he's sure that me and my Pokemon will do great things for the world. Amaria tells Professor Jenner that he says some of the weirdest things sometimes. She turns to me, and says that I may have a Pokemon, but that doesn't mean jack in the real world. She says that if I want to be the best, then I'll have to show the world what I got. Therefore, she challenges me to a battle. However, she says that she'll use a Pokemon that she recently picked up, so it's totally fair. With that said, let the battle commence! Time to put my skills to the test! Scout Amaria sends out Fennekin, while I send out Charles. How come SHE gets a Kalos starter, when I have to wait?! Oh wait, I already have a starter. Fennekin just keeps using Tail Whip while Charles easily knocks it out with a barrage of Scratches. With Fennekin defeated, I win the battle! Amaria says that I'm totally good, and also tells me that I'm not too shabby, and that I have real potential. Professor Jenner remarks that we had a marvelous battle, and tells Amaria that she always knows how to give a good battle. She tells him that she tries to be the best in every situation, and that is the one, and only way she can improve her skills. Professor Jenner agrees, and Amaria gives me some Pokeballs for battling against her. She says that should get me started for the first few rounds here in the city. However, she says that she should get going because she has other things she has to attend to. She thanks Professor Jenner, and tells him that she'll see him very soon. She turns to me, and wishes me good luck with my journey. She says that if I make it to the top, I can be sure that I'll see her again. She leaves, and just then, Professor Jenner speaks up, asking me for a favor. He says that he has a daughter named Melia, who's a bright young girl with a lot of spirit. He says that she has become such a good trainer that she's in the process of becoming a Gym Leader. He asks me if I could- Just then, a guy in black comes in the room, and reports to him that he finished his assignment dealing with Amethyst Cave. Professor Jenner is pleased, and asks Ren for the results. However, Ren doesn't have much results. He says to get further in the cave, you need Surf, and obviously Ren is still a rookie, and he doesn't have access to Surf yet. Professor Jenner says that's a shame, and introduces Ren to me. Ren introduces himself, and Professor Jenner tells me that Ren is his assistant who helps him studies dealing with Pokemon habitat and characteristics. Ren says that if that's all, he has to get going because he promised some friends he'd hang with them after he reported to him. Professor Jenner dismisses him, and Ren thanks him. Ren leaves, and Professor Jenner goes back to the favor he wanted to ask me. He asks me if I can check on his daughter, and tells me that she's at Goldenwood Forest on an assignment he gave her. He tells me that I can get there by taking the train from the North Railnet, which is located exactly north of this lab. He thanks me, and rewards me with the Running Shoes, the Pokedex, and the CyberNav, which will surely get me started on my journey. He wishes me good luck, and I leave. Or so I thought... When I head downstairs, I see Ren blocking the exit. He tells me that he overheard me talking with Professor Jenner just a few minutes ago, and says that he wanted to tell me that Melia isn't actually at Goldenwood Forest. Instead, she actually went to a place called Gearen Sewers, which is obviously the sewers that reside in Gearen. He asks me if I'm glad he gave me the nice tip, but says that it doesn't come free. Instead, it costs one battle, which then begins. You want to battle me? It's your loss, Ren. Let's go! Pokemon Trainer Ren sends out Froakie, while I send out Charles. Charles unleashes a barrage of Growls and Pounds, while Charles keeps Scratching Froakie, even with critical hits. With Froakie defeated, I win the battle! Ren is impressed, but shrugs it off, saying that it's beginner's luck. He tells me not to expect to win next time, and says that he would like to bring me to the sewers himself, but he thinks it would be better if I explored the city on my own. He says goodbye and leaves, while I follow his exit, and start my journey. It's time to begin my adventure! Current Stats: So far, Charles is the only member in my team. However, he gained two levels after defeating Amaria's Fennekin and Ren's Froakie. Heck, he nearly leveled up to level 8! Charmander Name: Charles (Time to go to the Name Rater who conveniently lives in the city!) Level: 7 Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember

With the release of Episode XV coming to Reborn soon, I figure I would make a new story until then. Yes, I still have stories to finish, but I'll also be making this story, too. Now, despite this game coming out after Reborn, I figured that I would make this a prequel to my adventure in Reborn. In one of the chapters, I assumed that I had no family, considering how we come into Reborn without any mention of family whatsoever. Since Rejuvenation is based off of Reborn, and it indeed has a parent, I figure I'd make it a prequel to explain my origins of what happened before I came to Reborn. Maybe once I develop this story more, I'll add some things to the Reborn story, to make them connect. And now, without further ado, I give you... My origin story and prequel before Reborn! Prologue It all started decades ago... -Decades Ago...- I start out in a small room, looking like a young, blonde girl. This is a first... I'm in another person's point of view! A servant calls me Marianette, and tells me that it's time to come out now. She says that my father wishes to see me, and so I begrudgingly obey. However, I take a look around the room, and see a Pangoro plushie, a Magmortar plushie, and a Zorua plushie sitting on a miniature altar which looks like its been used recently. I take a look at myself in the beautifully crafted glass mirror, but I can't see myself in the mirror. Does this mean that this girl is a vampire? The servant tells me that my father is in the room to the east, and so I leave the room. I leave my room, and an earthquake occurs. I see Arceus statues all over the halls, which means that this place could be a cult's holy ground. I see servants blocking every room, which means I am forced to head east. What's strange is that I don't see the girl's mother. I wonder if something happened to her... As I go through the hall, more earthquakes occur, as well as what appears to sound like lightning. All of the servants say the same thing, and I start to question them, while they rudely reply with snarky remarks. I ask why I can't go outside, and they say that the outside is tainted with evil. Every servant has a snarky comment to my questions, which makes me hate them. I ask why I can't bring my Pokemon, and one of them says that I will no longer need them. I then head to the eastern corridor. What's odd is that I can't even pause... It's just like the Mew glitch all over again... I head to the eastern corridor, and more earthquakes occur. I speak to the servant next to the Arceus statues in front of the door, and she tells me that my father awaits me in the room ahead. She moves, and I proceed. I head into the room, and there are servants and Arceus statues all over the room. I speak to the servants, and one of them weeps about her sister. I head into the room ahead, and see the girl's father standing behind an altar with a servant on it. Marianette asks him what's going on, and where mommy is. He tells her that mommy is in a better place now, and says that she is now sleeping with Arceus, the Savior. That actually sounds wrong if you look at it from a different perspective... He tells Marianette that she must sleep with Arceus, too. Marianette is surprised, and exclaims that she just woke up. However, her father tells her that it is a different kind of sleep. More like murder or sacrifice, if you will. He then declares that he shall demonstrate the sleep for her before her very eyes. He asks the servant if she is ready, and she proudly tells her master that she has lived only to see this day, and that she was literally born ready to fulfill this task. Brainwashed, much? He accepts the appropriate answer, and begins the ritual. The room flashes and shakes as he performs the ritual. "It is time, Arceus! Show her eternal greatness! Show her eternal life! Show her the true way to live!" The servant disappears into nothingness as she vanishes from the face of the Earth. Marianette is horrified, and asks him what he is doing. She wonders where their servant went, because she disappeared in front of her. Her father replies that she is with Arceus now, and reveals that he brought her here to do the same. He tells her to step forward, but she refuses. She tries to escape, but three servants block the exit. She tells her daddy to let her go, and that she wants to go back to her room because she's scared. He says that he cannot let that happen, and tells the servants to bring her to the altar. Marianette begs for them to let go of her, and threatens to scream. However, her threats are empty, as she is then chained to the four poles. What is this, a kinky bondage situation now? That's just sick! She begs her father to stop this, and says that she doesn't want to go to sleep because she wants to go back to her room. She keeps begging, but it is no use. He apologizes, and promises that this is for her own good. He then begins the ritual once again. Marianette begs for somebody to help her at this point. "Arceus! It is time!" It fades to black, and Pokemon Rejuvenation begins... Current Stats: I don't have any Pokemon yet.

I have a feeling we'll be dealing with the Agate Conspiracy right after we deal with Team Meteor down in the Water Treatment Center. If we end up getting Rock Climb in Episode XV, we'll probably be able to use it to reach the Glass Workshop, which is just above the ferris wheel. Or we may reach the ferris wheel this way, and make it to the Glass Workshop. The sleeping signal is most likely up in the Glass Workshop, so we'll be dealing with all of that in Episode XVI or XVII. If the sleeping signal is another PULSE, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's probably a PULSE-Jigglypuff.

Titania having red eyes is like having naturally blue hair. Cal and Blake... You just don't expect people to have it, but they do. Same with green hair. Fern and Florina... Or purple and pink hair. Corey and Heather... Of course, there are also people with many different hair colors in the anime as well, as well as people with different eye colors, such as Ghetsis and Colress. Basically, it's not weird at all if Titania has red eyes.

How can she use an Aegislash without losing her soul? Better yet, I wonder if she threatens somebody with it... Either Team Meteor, or us, I'll bet.

There has always been no specific release date for episodes, and no specific time as well. Giving an estimate of how fast the process has been so far, I would, however, like to estimate that we will at LEAST get the beta before May 22. All we know is that the episode will most likely be out in May. That's all.

I bet that people are convinced that there's going to be an HM for just about every episode until all of the HMs have been received. While it IS possible we may get Rock Climb, keep in mind we may get a different HM, or no HM at all in an episode, until it is received in a future episode. However, that is only a thought. While this may be possible, I think that we may be indeed getting Rock Climb. Now I can get cool things like a cool kid.

Serra's going to be in for a surprise when she finds out that her son's been bad...

We definitely know that Shade's going to return, considering the fact from Episode XV's trailer. We also presume that Team Meteor is hiding out in the Water Treatment Center, so we may get to see Taka, considering that we haven't seen him since the Pyrous Mountain conspiracy. However, we may also get to see Solaris, considering that he's after Amaria's Sapphire Bracelet. As for Luna, Radomus, Elias, and Bennett, I don't think we'll be seeing them again until later. Luna's purpose has already been fulfilled, as Elias no longer cares whether or not he has her in his care. Radomus, on the other hand, has the Amethyst Pendant, which we need back. However, he has his own plans for it, so there's no doubt we'll see him again later on. As for Elias and Bennett, Elias is probably down in the Citae Arc d'Astrae or at a Team Meteor hideout, and Bennett is probably dealing with all the paperwork for joining the Elite Four. As for Julia and Florina, they might be coming up to Calcenon soon to help with the fight. There are four different situations as well: One being that they're captured and trapped in Labradorra, or Two being that they're infiltrating as false members of Team Meteor. Three being that they're fighting while unseen, and Four being that they're never to be seen again. Only time will tell when these two return. As for ZEL, they're probably operating more PULSE machines all over Reborn, considering how well they make them. I'm not sure if this is all of the old faces we haven't seen for a while, but if I'm missing any, let me know. Oh, and as for Serra's Field? I'm wanting to bet that the Icy Field is now going to be her field specifically. I don't know if the Snowy Mountain Field will take effect in Ametrine Mountain, but if it does, then the Icy Field just might be Serra's Field.

That percent jump though. Anyways, once all the other stuff is done, we'll probably get another percent jump from the story section. And... Now I'm tempted to make a new file... But not yet...

Chapter XII: The Stormy Road To Fortree City, Love In The Rain, And Team Aqua's Invasion At The Weather Institute! After battling the trainers on Route 118, I head north to Route 119, where I see very tall grass, and that it's raining. I battle a group of bug catchers called the Mimic Circle, and I beat them. After that, I find a rest house, and heal my Pokemon. I climb the mountainside, and battle two trainers. I beat them, then cross a large bridge. I encounter more trainers, and I defeat them. Some trainers even hide in fake trees that are more obvious than before. I finally battle a few bird catchers, and see a large building. On the right, I see three Team Aqua grunts guarding the bridge. Shouldn't they be concerned that I'm on their side of the bridge? They complain about guard duty (Much like the guards who complain about guard duty in Skyrim...), and one even says that they're forced to stand lookout while the Admins are off having private time. I wonder how much fun THOSE two are having... They realize I'm there, but they don't do anything but beg that I don't enter the Weather Institute, which is the building to my left. Ignoring the grunts, I head inside. I head inside the Weather Institute, and the lady at the front desk tells me that there seems to be some kind of disturbance on the second floor. She says that she's a professional, and says that she's not easily rattled. I look around, and I see Team Aqua grunts everywhere, with the exception of a little boy in the corner in the bedroom. When I battle the Aqua grunts, they reveal that Archie got interested in the research they have going here, so he sent them out to take it. I also hear that Team Aqua is planning to use the information in order to retrieve the super-ancient Pokemon. I beat the two grunts on the first floor, and I head to the second floor, where I find more Aqua grunts, as well as Shelly, who is holding three people hostage. She already has the results of their research, and the researcher is cursing her for it. He demands her to give them back, going up to her, only to get slapped in the face. DANG, can she slap a guy... I certainly hope I don't get slapped like that... One of the other men asks him if he's all right, and Shelly says that she'll give it back. She realizes that the awakening of the super-ancient Pokemon will bring about extreme weather, and says that if this happened all over the world, what would become of Pokemon, not to mention people. I battle the rest of the Aqua grunts, and then I confront Shelly. She is surprised to see me, and says that she even runs into me when she's not on the clock. She wonders why that is, and says that maybe we're destined to be together... Okay, don't be a tease. She then gets angry, and says that she's feeling so empty and downhearted right now, she can't get her head straight. She tells me that I should help her take her mind off it, and says that the way me and my Pokemon battle so straightforwardly and sincerely with such hope, it makes her so mad. The battle then begins. Okay, Shelly. Calm down. In fact, why not take a chill pill? Shelly sends out Sharpedo, which she evolved after her defeat on Mt. Chimney, while I send out Sebastian. Two Mega Drains do the job, as Sharpedo then goes down. With Shelly's Sharpedo defeated, I win the battle! I wonder where her other Pokemon went? Shelly says that tired her out, as I won. She's acting like we did something else. Pfft. However, something happens with Sebastian, as he starts to evolve into... Sceptile! With Sebastian now a fully grown Sceptile, I don't have to evolve my main team for the time being. Shelly is silent, and says that she feels a bit more relaxed. She thanks me, and says that as a token of her gratitude, she'll tell me one thing... "When Team Aqua's... No, when the illustrious Archie's ambitions have been realized, the world will truly return to its beginnings, to before the birth of anything at all..." She tells me to think for myself about what to do when I'm up against that reality. She says that she still hasn't figured out for herself what's wrong and what's right. She says her goodbye, although she's sure she'll run into me again, though. As she leaves, she says that Archie is probably on the way to Mt. Pyre, so she... She heads off, and Team Aqua retreats. One of the three hostages thanks me, and says that I helped save them from quite a pinch. The other hostage checks on the researcher, who got slapped from before. The researcher says that he's alright, and says that truly was a slap in the face. The gentleman wonders what Team Aqua could hope to gain by investigating the extreme weather patterns of thousands of years ago. He realizes that he must thank me properly for my help. He says that it might seem an odd way of rewarding me, but he gives me a Castform as his thanks. He explains that Castform are Pokemon that change from the current weather, and says that they've been living with them in the institute, helping them with their research. As for the data those ruffians were seeking... They wanted to know about the extreme weather conditions that ruled thousands of years ago because of the two super-ancient Pokemon. He tells me that one of that pair was the Legendary Pokemon we know as mighty Kyogre... By absorbing the energy that abounds in the natural world, Kyogre transformed itself--or so it is said. The transformed Kyogre caused so much disturbance to the weather patterns that the world was assaulted by torrential rains, and the seas rose around the planet. He says that they refer to this transformation as Primal Reversion, and that its result is the terror we call Primal Kyogre. The man explains that Primal Reversion is a possible form of Evolution, like and yet not like Mega Evolution... Or so it has been theorized. However, it has never been achieved by any Pokemon other than the super-ancient Legendary Pokemon, and so it has been largely forgotten as a method of Evolution. The researcher interrupts, and says that they'll be heading downstairs now, but I should talk to them when I have a moment, because they want to thank me as well. The two head downstairs, and I follow. As I head downstairs, I talk to the people, and the scientist gives me a Rocky Helmet, which helped him when he got slapped. Apparently, he WANTED to get slapped, just to test it. I also get the Icy Rock from the lady at the desk. After I put Cassidy the Castform in the PC, I leave. As I leave the Weather Institute, I see that Team Aqua is no longer blocking the bridge, which means I can safely cross. I cross the bridge, and just as I'm about to climb up the steps, May shows up! She asks me where I have been hiding because she's been looking all over for me. However, she notices the Mega Bracelet on my wrist, and she asks me where I got it because she says it's a pretty fancy-looking bracelet. I tell her that it's a Mega Bracelet, and she sees that I can use it for Mega Evolution. She says that I can keep getting even closer to my Pokemon, and says that some guys have all the luck. However, she declares that she's not about to lose to me and some accessory, and says that we should see who's best in battle. She asks me if my Pokemon are all ready, but before I have time to say anything, she says that they are. The battle then begins. I still have to heal my Pokemon, you know... Oh well, my Pokemon should be fine. Let's go, May! May sends out Wailmer, while I send out Ruby. I Mega Evolve her, and she strikes with Mist Ball. However, it only knocks Wailmer down to its last health, but May doesn't even heal it, allowing Ruby to knock it out with another Mist Ball. May sends out Combusken, while I send out Sebastian, who keeps striking with Dual Chop, while Combusken builds up with Bulk Up. However, Combusken goes down, as Sebastian manages to land a critical hit Dual Chop. May sends out Shroomish, while I send out Ruby again, who needs the experience points more than the others. She strikes at Shroomish with Mist Ball, and it knocks out Shroomish in two hits. With no other Pokemon on May's team, I win the battle! May sees that I'm strong as she expected, and says that I did battle her like she asked, so she'll give me a reward. Is it what I think it is? Love is in the rain! However, she gives me HM02 Fly instead. Dang it... But this is just as good! She explains that if I use Fly, my Pokemon will carry me back to anywhere I've been before. However, I must have the gym badge from Fortree City to use Fly outside of battle. She says that's the most important bit, so I shouldn't forget. She tells me that maybe I should Fly home and visit Littleroot sometimes because she bets that my mom worries about me. Thank you for caring, May, that's really thoughtful! She then says goodbye, and promises that next time she won't lose. She leaves for Fortree City, and I follow. I battle the boy standing behind a fake tree, and head into the peaceful Fortree City. Why is Team Aqua so persistent on trying to expand the sea? It just doesn't make sense! Oh well, time to get my gym badge! Current Stats: Another evolution takes place, as Sebastian evolves into Sceptile! The team leveled up quite a bit, and some learned new moves. It's also about time that I finished this chapter! Since I've finally beaten the entirety of Oblivion, I will now be able to continue my quests.

Yup... Charlotte is one of my waifus. That wallpaper is just... hot.

I had assumed there would be three as well for some reason. Three PULSE machines seems like an appropriate amount. Since the PULSE-Muk is destroyed, I wonder if we will be seeing one or even more PULSE machines down in the Water Treatment Center... Since there are rumored to be multiple PULSE-Mr. Mimes all over Labradorra, I don't see how that wouldn't be possible.

There's no doubt that Team Meteor is down in that Water Treatment Center. That means that we'll probably get to see another PULSE-Muk. If the one back in Blacksteam Factory wasn't bad, this one's going to be stronger. Better yet, we may see Solaris down there as well, considering that he's after Amaria's Sapphire Bracelet.
