J-Awesome_One

When I finally got to the other side of the cave and exited, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Some trees were knocked down and smoke was filling the area. Melia and I looked ahead and could see 2 boys a bit from the cave’s entrance. Melia: Hey! You 2! What’s going on?! What happened?! Boy #1: W-We don’t know… Boy #2: We were training inside the cave when we both heard a huge explosion. We came out here and… this is what we’re seeing now… Matthew: This is insane! ???: Ohh please… Some help me! An elderly woman came running up to us. The 4 of us came running up to her. I remembered her being out here before on the bench with her Furfrou but now, it wasn’t with her anymore. Old Lady: Someone… Please help… Matthew: What happened? Are you ok? Old Lady: Ohh! You 2 are the 2 kinds I saw in the forest earlier. Some thugs came and… they took my precious Furfrou from me. Melia: Some thugs? Matthew: Don’t tell me it’s- Old Lady: They were wearing weird black and red uniforms. As soon as she told us what the thugs were wearing, I got angry. I knew who she was talking about. It was none other than Team Xen. Now I could get these bastards to tell me where they had taken my mother. Melia looked up at me and could see the anger in my face. Melia: Well… I’m just gonna leave this here. -sets down the briefcase- Don’t worry Ma’am. We’ll get your Furfrou back for you. Old Lady: You’re so kind. Thank you! ???: This way! The 5 of us looked up ahead and could see a couple of Team Xen grunts running up towards us. I wanted to just run up to the and grabbed them by their necks but I knew I had to remain calm if I wanted to get anything out of them. Team Xen Grunt #1: Hey! Get back here! We weren’t done taking things from you! Old Lady: Ahh! It’s them! Melia: I-I knew it. I didn’t want to believe it but it’s clear now. Matthew: Mother fucking Team Xen. Team Xen Grunt #2: So then you must have heard of us huh? We’re not some joke anymore then? Matthew: Ohh I’ll make you all into jokes! Team Xen Grunt #3: Ha! Don’t make us laugh. Anyways, we’re here for 1 thing and then we’re out of here. Boy #1:: What are you here for? Team Xen Grunt #1: I’m glad you asked… We’re here for the girl! Any form of resistance will be met with our unruly wrath! Old Lady: Wh-What?! You’re here for the girl?!… Ohhhhh myyyyy… All of us, including the grunts, looked on as the lady started to sway her hips as if she thought that Team Xen was here to get her for her… Well I didn’t want to think about that. Luckily, the Team Xen Grunts shut her up about that. Melia: Wait. Are you talking about me? Team Xen Grunt #1: Yes! We are here for you Melia! Matthew: Wait! What do you want Melia for?! Team Xen Grunt #2: We were ordered to kidnap a girl named Melia who would be in this area at this time. And now that we’re here, you’re coming with us! Matthew: Hell no she’s not! Melia: Yea! You guys must be insane if you think I’m going to go with you lot! Team Xen Grunt #3: Heh… They never comply do they? Team Xen Grunt #2: Hey. Show them it. Team Xen Grunt #1: Right! Come on out Meowth! The Xen Grunt threw out his PokeBall and out popped a Meowth but it was different. It was mostly purple. It looked at us as if it really wanted to hurt us. Then I remembered something. A couple of weeks before I was going to leave for here, Taka and I encountered a weirdly colored Bisharp. This Meowth was the same color as that Bisharp. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Matthew: That Meowth… You… Melia: Something’s different about it… Team Xen Grunt #1: Really? Damnit. Madelis said it wouldn’t be noticeable but I guess she was wrong. But you’re right little lady! This Meowth is not a normal 1 at all. This Meowth has been subjected to an experiment thought to be long gone. Shadow Pokemon. The lot of us were shocked. I remembered when I was younger and heard something like that was happening in the Orre Region. Luckily, it was taken care of quickly. But to think that it was back again, I was a little bit worried. Matthew: So then that Bisharp a couple of weeks ago… That was a Shadow Pokemon? Team Xen Grunt #2: Yea but that was in Unova. How do you know about that? Matthew: I was the 1 who stopped it after it… it killed my best friend. Team Xen Grunt #3: What?! You stopped it?! Matthew: Yes… I hated that Pokemon ever since then. It almost made me not even come here… But I’m not mad at it anymore. Whenever I find it, I’m gonna rescue it and find a way to purify its heart! Team Xen Grunt #1: Ha! You don’t even have a way of getting it, let alone this Meowth as well. Matthew: Ugh! Damnit! Melia: Matthew, the code to open the briefcase is 6489! Put that in and open it quickly! I looked out towards Melia and wondered what could be in the briefcase to help us against a Shadow Pokemon. I did as she asked though and entered the code and opened up the briefcase. What I saw inside though shocked me. It was some kind of mechanical glove. But I knew what it was. Melia could see it too and was in complete shock as well. Melia: Is… Is that what I think it is? Matthew: Yes… I’m gonna put it on! I grabbed the glove and carefully put it onto my arm. It fit quite comfortably. Even though this was a serious time, I couldn’t help but feel awesome wearing this. I then went down to where Melia was and stood in front of the Shadow Meowth. Team Xen Grunt #1: What? Seriously? You think you can really beat me? Matthew: Not only that but I’m gonna rescue that Meowth! Melia: So then you know what that thing is then? Matthew: Yea… I do. Melia: Then you know what you have to do. Team Xen Grunt #1: Tch! You think you can beat me!? Bring it on! Tear them up Meowth! I sent out Krep but I didn’t really need to send out any Pokemon. Before any move was given, I grabbed a PokeBall with the Snag Machine Glove and threw it towards the Meowth. The ball jiggled for a couple of seconds and then stopped. Meowth was now mine. Everybody that witnessed it was surprised. Shadow Pokemon were back and so was the Snag Machine. I went over to the PokeBall, picked it up and put it into my pocket. The Team Xen Grunt that initiated the battle seemed upset by the fact that his Meowth was now mine. Team Xen Grunt #1: You… How? How did you snag my Meowth?! Matthew: Wow… So this is a Snag Machine. Melia: Yes but why would it be in the briefcase? Unless… No. I can’t think about that right now. Team Xen Grunt #1: You! Give me back my Meowth now! Matthew: Are you kidding me?! You artificially closed the door to its heart! Team Xen Grunt #1: But I raised it from an egg! Y-You can’t just take it away from me! Melia: You should have thought about that before turning it into a Shadow Pokemon! Team Xen Grunt #2: Grr! You’ll both regret this! This doesn’t end here. Let’s just see you try to escape the forest. You’ll be ours before the end of the day. Melia: Ohh we’ll get out of here alright. And I won’t be going anywhere but home! Matthew: Now scram. The 3 Team Xen grunts then ran off the way they came. Melia and I then told the old lady and the 2 boys to go into the cave and hide in the back where the 2 of us were just a little bit ago. The 2 of us decided we should get through the rest of Team Xen and to try to stop their plan with taking Melia. As we walked back through the forest, I battled a few more Team Xen Grunts. If any of them had a Shadow Pokemon, I caught them. As soon as I seen the Meowth, I decided that I would snag them from any trainer that had them and help them become normal again. As the 2 of us continued to walk through the forest, Melia wanted to know something. Melia: Hey Matt? Matthew: What is it? Melia: Before when we were facing those 3 Xen Grunts before, you said you seen a Shadow Pokemon before coming to Aevium right? Matthew: Yea? What about it? Melia: What happened? Matthew:… A Shadow Bisharp killed a lot of people in Unova in the area where I lived. And the last person it killed was… He was my best friend… His name was Taka… Melia: Ohh! I’m sorry. I didn’t know that happened. Matthew: It’s ok. You know… I hated that Bisharp. So much. I was even gonna kill it if I saw it again. But now that I know it was a Shadow Pokemon, I’m not mad at it now. I wanna help that 1 the most. Melia: I’m sure it’ll like that very much whenever you do get to it. When we finally got to the entrance of the forest, we saw a truck blocking the path. Melia seemed upset but I was kind of happy. Now I could get some info on what happened to my mom. When we looked back at the little hill, we could see 3 people standing on it. We decided to go there and confront the 3. When we got there, the 2 people that were standing in front of the 1 person looked at us. ???: Well well well. They’re here. ???: Ohh! That Melia girl right? Bad girl? We capture her and sell them to high up? ???: Wha- Sell? What are you talking about Eli? We’re not selling anyone. If you mean we’re gonna capture her and give her to our leader, then yea. Eli: Yes yes! That is what Eli mean! I apologize to you Sharon! Matthew: Alright you 2! Just shut up! Where is my mother?! Eli: Mother? We take someone mother? Sharon: I don’t know. Whatever we do is what we do. Whatever someone else does in the team stays with them. Matthew: Liars! Sharon: Look, you can keep shouting all you want. We don’t know anything. And even if we did, we wouldn’t tell you. Eli: Correct. Sharon is tell the truth! Melia: Matt? They took your mother? Is that true? Matthew: Yea. It is. They attacked the S.S. Oceana and took her and I’m pretty sure they took the others as well… I’m the only 1 that escaped. Melia: That’s… How? How did you have any kind of fun today? Matthew: It’s been hard. I may have had to fake a lot of it today but you and Venam and Ren… you all helped. Melia: Matt… Sharon: Enough with the sob stories. We’re taking Melia and that’s that. Melia: No you won’t! I don’t know what your obsession with me is all about but we’re leaving this place! Sharon: But you see, that’s where you’re wrong. Not only are you not getting away, you also won’t be seeing this place ever again. Melia: What?! Matthew: I’ll be damned if I let any of you Team Xen freaks take Melia! Eli: Pointless to resist. Give up your lives now. Sharon: Well that’s a bit much. Giving up would be just fine though. Melia: We’ll never give up! Matt, I don’t have much but I’ll fight with you with my Hapi. Matthew: Are you sure? Melia: Yes. I’m sure. Matthew: Well alright then future Gym Leader. Let’s do this! Sharon: Ugh. You 2 are so annoying. But whatever. Let’s go! The tag team battle started. Shockingly it wasn’t a tough match. Melia’s Togepi survived throughout the whole much as did my Ducklett. Eli seemed frustrated but not Sharon. Matthew: Nothing to say now? Sharon: -sighs- Despite my big talk, this isn’t a surprise. Melia: Then why battle us? Sharon: We get in trouble if we don’t do as we’re told. But that was pretty boring. Having things go exactly the way you predicted? Psh. But I guess it doesn’t really matter. We’re still gonna try to capture you. Eli: Give up don’t we! Matthew: Uhh… What? Sharon: He means we don’t give up. The Team Xen Grunts advanced towards us. Melia threatened them that we’d attack. Even though I had only known her for a short time, I knew she wasn’t someone to do something like that. I was about to step in front of Melia to protect her when we all heard some kind of Pokemon sound. We all turned around to the sound of the noise. Walking up to us was a Garbodor that was a shiny exclusive to Aevium. But then I remembered this Pokemon from somewhere. Matthew: Melia… Isn’t that the Garbodor from… Melia: Wait… It is! It’s the 1 from the sewers! But why is it here? Matthew: I have no clue. Sharon: Damn! Another threat to the mission! Sorry Zetta but we’re going to have to deal with this. Right Eli? Eli: D-Do we? Sharon: Duh! I mean it’s our JOB to take care of threats. Come on. Let’s go. The Garbodor took off running and the strange duo went running after it. Melia and I looked at each other. We figured that the lady of the duo didn’t really want to stay there for long. So she decided to chase the Garbodor instead of trying to get Melia. There was only 1 person left there. Considering that Sharon called out Zetta, I figured she was referring to this person. I had Melia stay on the ground below as I confronted the person. Matthew: Hey. Your name’s Zetta right? Zetta: Ahh. So Sandra and Eli weren’t able to hold you 2 off? Melia: Sandra? But I thought her name was Sharon? Zetta: Sandra? Sharon? Who cares. And yes. My name is Zetta. Matthew: We have some questions for you. Zetta: And I would LOVE to answer them, but I really don’t feel like it right now. Maybe later. I’ll give you props for making it this far though. Nicely done. Matthew: Shut up! I don’t want to be given props from you. Zetta: Too bad. Already gave them to you. What’s your name anyways kid? Matthew: I’m not a kid but if you wanna know, it’s Matthew. Zetta: Matthew? Wow. Your parents must have hated you or something to give you that n- ow! Zetta stumbled back a bit after being hit in the face by my fist. I did not want him talking about my parents. Especially since they had my mother right now. Zetta regained his composure though and looked up at me, smiling. Zetta: Nice punch there. Hmm. Ohh. That girl there. Is that Melia? Hmm… So that’s what you look like. Matthew: That’s kind of creepy dude. Melia: Enough of this. Leave Goldenwood Forest immediately! Why attack this place if I’m the prime target? Zetta: You don’t seem like a bright kid Melia. So I’m just gonna skip it. But what has me interested is that machine your friend Matthew here has. I wonder. Where’d you get that? Matthew: It doesn’t matter where I get it. All that matters is that I have it and that I’m gonna save all those Shadow Pokemon. Melia: Yea! What Matthew said! Zetta: Actually, it does matter. To me at least. That little machine is kind of troublesome. It kind of negates a huge part of what we’re doing. Now hand it over. Matthew: Ha! You think I’d just hand this over?! Just try to take it! Zetta: Ohh I will. Although I knew you wouldn’t just willingly hand it over. That is precisely why I brought a little friend with me. Zetta pointed out on the lake. Melia and I both looked out towards the water and could see something on the surface. We had no idea what it was but it left a bad feeling in our stomachs. Matthew: What the hell is that thing? Zetta: Ohh fantastic! I get to be teacher for the day! So listen up! This, my himble students, is what you would call a Dimensional Rift. Melia: A Dimensional Rift? Zetta: Mhm. They’re breaks in the universe that create portals to other dimensions. They may act as transportation. Teleportation if you will or as… Weapons of mass destruction! Melia: W-Weapons of mass destruction?! Zetta: You see, these portals have no purpose when it’s just out here alone. But if you put something inside of it, particularly a Pokemon… Something very interesting happens. Matthew: You’re… doing even more things to these Pokemon? Team Xen must be stopped. Zetta: -laughs- I’d love to see that. But see, conjuring up 1 of these things takes up a lot of energy. These things are really only used for as a last resort. I would like to not use it unless I totally have to. Ohh! I have a great idea! Let’s play a game! Melia: We don’t have time for games! Zetta: Too bad! I make the rules for right now! Matthew, you and me will battle right now. If I win, I take Melia and the Snag Machine. If you win, I’ll activate the Dimensional Rift. That sounds fair right? Melia: What?! That’s completely unfair! We’re in a bad situation no matter the outcome! Zetta: Ding ding ding! The girl’s smart after all! Too bad that my deals are final and are acted upon immediately! Matthew: Hey Melia! It’ll be ok! I’ll take down both Zetta and the Dimensional Rift! Don’t worry ok! Melia: O-Ok Matthew… I believe in you! I turned back towards Zetta and we both threw out our 1st Pokemon. His 1st Pokemon was actually a Shadow Alolan Grimer. While it did manage to knock out Taka, I was able to catch it from Taka. I was then able to take down the rest of his team. But of course he didn’t seem all that concerned for he had his backup plan. The Dimensional Rift. After a bit more banter between Zetta and Melia, Zetta turned around and activated the Dimensional Rift. Out of it came a Gyarados but it looked different from both its original form and its mega form. It almost looked demonic. Melia and myself couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Matthew: What the fuck is that?! Melia: Is that really a Gyarados?! Zetta: Yes. So before you said you could take on me and the Dimensional Rift Matthew. Do you think you can still do that? Matthew: I… I… Zetta: Because I’d really love to see you try! Well… actually I don’t. Soooo I’m just going to sweep you to the side for now. Melia: What are you talking about? Zetta: Listen here Matthew. That battle was nice and all but you’re just in the way right now. So… Gyarados, devour Matthew! Now! I stared up at the monster, frozen in place. I could hear Melia telling me to start running but I just couldn’t. Before long, I could feel myself starting to get sucked into the Pokemon. That brough me out of my shocked state. I tried to run from the suction. Melia grabbed onto my arm and tried to pull me away from the beast. But thanks to the powerful suction and also Zetta pushing me off the ledge, I was sucked into the Gyarados’ mouth and swallowed. When I came to however, I was on a dock. I looked around the area. It was weird. When I could see grass, I could see red grass. I didn’t know where I was. I walked up and went into a new area. I could see another dock but before that, there was a strange looking PokeBall on the floor. When I got closer to it, my CyberNav was starting to rumble like crazy. I pulled it out and hovered it near the ball. It seemed to shake crazy and then suddenly, I could see the word “Downloading” on the screen. I didn’t know what was going on. When it said “Download Complete,” I opened up the CyberNav and looked on it. A new app had appeared and it was called the Rift Dex. I opened it up and could see a file of some sort on it called Code: Evo. I opened it up and was dumbfounded by what I was reading. Matthew: What the fuck is this? This is… I don’t know what this is. Shadow Pokemon and now this? What’s going on? After reading it, I put my CyberNav away. I looked out on the dock again and noticed a Magikarp flopping around on it. I walked up to it and gently pushed it into the water. It then started to swim up a waterfall and when it made it up to the top, it started to glow. It then fell back down and splashed under the water. I went to the edge of the dock as I could to see what was going on. Almost instantly, the demon Gyarados popped up out of the water and gazed its eyes on me. I jumped back. I grabbed a PokeBall ready for the inevitable battle that would be taking place. Before the Pokemon could attack though, I could hear a voice. ???: Matt! Wait! Matthew: Huh? Who is that?! Show yourself! ???: Matthew! I don’t know where you are or if you can even hear this… But I won’t let you face this alone! Matthew: Wait… That sounds like Melia! Melia: I’ll help you in any way I can! Matthew: Good. Looks like I got some help from outside of this place as well. Alright you beast! It’s time to take you down! The Gyarados roared out a mighty roar and the battle was underway. Luckily for me, Krep was able to take its hits and deal some too and eventually knocked out the Pokemon. I returned Krep back to its ball, happy that the Gyarados was gone now but I had no idea how to get out of this place. Then I could hear a familiar voice once again. I looked up and could see the figure of Melia. Melia: Heh… You did well Matthew! Matthew: Thanks! But… how do I get out of he- Whoa! The ground started to shake and I once again blacked out. When I woke up, I was outside of the Goldenwood Forest back in Route 1. I had no idea what happened. Matthew: Wha… What happened? How did we get here? Melia: I’m so glad you’re awake! Ohh yea. Me and Garbodor attacked the Gyarados but I don’t think we were able to truly defeat it. Matthew: Are you serious? Damn. Melia: At the last second, Zetta was able to save it by turning it back into a Rift. Matthew: Damn him. Next time I see him, I’ll make sure he gets knocked out. Melia: I tried bringing Garbodor with me but it refused to come. Matthew: I think it might be creating a diversion for us to escape. Melia: Yea. I think you’re right… But that doesn’t matter right now. All that matters is getting out of this place. But luckily, the police arrived and they’re taking care of the situation. We need to head back to the lab! Matthew: Right. Let’s go! POKEMON TEAM REJUVENATION CHARACTER RATES TIME SPENT IN AEVIUM QUESTION OF THE THREAD

Interesting. Well that’ll be nice. If you ever need help battling with made up characters or whatever, I’m right here!

As always, it was a great, interesting read. Loving the new character as well! Apparently, it seems we’re leaving the Reborn storyline for a bit to follow this 1. Always making us think what’s gonna happen next. Keep up the good work!

Wow. I didn’t even know a new trailer was out. Idt we ever had a trailer all about new items & abilities before btw. They’re interesting. & I love G.F. Weeding even more now!

I used a speed up function I downloaded called RM FPS Control, put that up to like 300 and ran around my room for about a good 40 minutes before I recorded episode 2.

Nice team. Although I feel like almost everyone is gonna be using Corviknight and half the people are gonna be using Sobble. Lol.

Ohh no no no! You can pick from Togepi, Larvesta and Beldum. I just chose Togepi because it's been a while since I've used a Togekiss. But yes. Togepi at the start is rough to use because there are a lot of Bug, Grass, Flying and Poison Type Pokemon the trainers use. Also, I'm glad I got you to want to play! It's actually really fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy this too.

Indeed it is my friend!

Yea. I think it goes up to 5 badges now. Before it was just 3.
