CrystalStar

Hmm That picture Seems to be a mix of puppet and something else Tho I don't know what that something else is Anyway, I'm excited for the Rejuv V12 and DLC! Time to learn more about Nim!

I'm afraid that'll have to wait I'mtrying to get my PC fixed as soon as possible Cuz I have to do the battles of the game and create Anthony's team Heck, I've not even shown off how he looks(not that I could, given my amazing spring and art skills) I have my conception of Anthony as this, but all scarlet is a dark blue colour, including hair So yeah, the next chapter will take a looong time

Perhaps she's just weird that way Also, is this ship raid unauthorized by madame x?

Get ready for an action-packed chapter! SEASON 1: THE START Chapter 7: The Escape from the Drowning Ship I was so confused by all that. I didn't have the faintest idea what was happening but there was nothing I could possibly do. I checked my watch and got a shock, it was time for the banquet to start! I hurried downstairs and just as I was about to enter the room I heard my mother say, "So eager to eat that you're willing to leave your poor mother behind?" I turned as she came towards me. "Mum!" For a split second, I wondered if I should tell her what I overheard between her and Crescent. But then I decided against it. It was best not to worry her. I pushed the matter to the back of my mind. "Don't worry, I am only teasing you. Let's get seated, shall we?" she said, pulling me back to the present. "Sure thing, Mum," I replied. We entered the room and sat down at a table. Then Captain Augustus stood to give a speech. "Greetings everyone!" he said. "It's my pleasure to hold this lovely banquet on such a magnificent day! This marks the end of our week long journey together. I hope that this trip will stay with you in your memory forever. And perhaps one day we shall see each other again! And with that all said and done, I'd like the banquet to commence!" he continued. The banquet started and just as I was about to start eating, I heard a voice. "Sorry, but I am going to have to postpone this little party," someone said. Then three figures dressed in black entered the room. "Who are you three? What is the meaning of this?" Captain Augustus asked. "We're going to need you three to stay put and listen very carefully," one of the figures said, giving no sign that she had heard Augustus. "We have explosives on board this ship. Any act of rebellion will result in a calamity none of you can afford. So let's just get through it nice and easy, okay?" she continued. I was horrified. "Y-You're hijacking the ship?" Augustus asked. "Hijacking? No, no, that's too barbaric. We're here to pick up someone," the female figure replied. Surprised, I sat stunned, and from what I could see of Augustus, he was stunned too. My mother, on the other hand, screamed. "G-Get Anthony out of here now!" "Don't make any funny movements! No one's leaving this room. You hear?" one of the grunts shouted. "...Hmph," I heard Crescent. "I said don't move!" the grunt shouted again. "Get him out of here this instant!" my mother shouted even louder. "Gothitelle, you know what to do," I heard Crescent say. I turned around, and behind me was a woman. She was Crescent. And beside her was a Gothitelle preparing to use a move. "No, wait-" I began, but it was too late. "Goaaaaa!" the Gothitelle cried, and teleported me somewhere. "You're all going to regret this," the grunt said and stormed out of the room. ************ Meanwhile, I was teleported to the captain's cabin. I looked around me, and saw the door. What happened? Why did my mother shout like that? I went out of the room and looked around. The ship was in total destruction. Seems like they weren't bluffing. And from the cracks I saw weird tentacle like vines. I was careful not to touch them as I madey way downstairs. Heard pounding, I made my way to the second floor, where I saw the lady who had been playing the piano in the banquet room. "Hey! Aren't you that kid who disappeared out of thin air?" she saw me and asked. "Uh... yes," I replied. "What happened to you?" And without waiting for an answer she continued, "Anyway, that's not important at the moment. What's important is getting off this ship. Right after you disappeared, some guy detonated an explosive on the hull of the S.S. Oceana. Water is gushing in at an alarming rate. If we don't find a way out soon... And that coupled with these weird tentacle things... They seem harmless, but they seem to be watching our every move. It's almost as if they're trying to observe us, or to look for something. You should go on ahead. I'll stay here and see if anyone needs help," she said. "Alright," I said and continued downstairs. I was starting to feel scared. What had happened? What had those people come for? I arrived in front of the banquet room and entered. Inside, I saw Captain Augustus. "Anthony! I am glad to see that your doing okay," he exclaimed upon seeing me enter. "Really? You call this okay? The state we are in?" I asked him incredulously. "Uh, not really. Seems like this perfect day has taken quite the turn, hasn't it? Who's do such a thing?" he said. "No idea," I replied. "Hey have you seen Nancy?" I asked. "Er... No. I have no idea where she is. When the bomb exploded, it knocked me out. When I came to, there was nobody in this room. Water is gushing through the belly of this ship as we speak. It won't be long before the S.S. Oceana rests at the bottom of the ocean floor forever. I think I'm going to stay here in my own misery for a bit. There were some people at the exit trying to stop the water from rising. You should speak with them. They could've seen your mother," he replied. "So you're going to stay here and wait for the ship to drown?" I said, appalled. "You're the captain! Surely you can escape?" I continued. Getting more and more apalled by the second. "But I can't. I can't, escape" he replied. "What about Peeko? What will he do if you're gone?" I asked him, starting to get annoyed. He gave me a sad smile. "Peeko will be fine. He's a Pokemon of the sea, after all, meanwhile, I have nothing to escape this site sinking ship," he replied. "Alright, suit yourself. I'm going down to find my mother and then find a way to get off this ship," I said and left him in the banquet room, looking morose. I went down to the lowest level where the water was pouring in. There were a few men trying to stop the water from flowing in. Although they were trying their hardest, they couldn't stop the water from entering. "There's nothing we could do. The hole is too big. We can't stop the water from entering," one of the men said. "Our pokemon can't do it as well, we should try to find the life rafts and escape," another said. "Hey wait... do you see that dark thing in the water?" the first man asked the second. "Yeah, it's very faint but I can see it as well! What d'you think it is?" the second man asked. But just then, the dark figure rose. The figure looked like a Deoxys, but it was different, with teh weird tentacles that I had seen. Before anyone could make a movement or a sound, the Deoxys-like thing grabbed the two men and disappeared. That was horrendous. I couldn't believe what I saw. I was extremely scared. There's was a moment's silence then, "We should go hide in the Cargo Hold!" an old woman said. "There's nowhere else. Hey you! Go and tell the man blocking the Cargo Hold to move!" she continued, pointing a finger towards me. I nodded and started to head towards the direction of the Cargo Hold. But as I was walking, I saw another one of those weird Deoxys thingies grab the man who was blocking the entrance towards the hold and disappear. I was shocked, but I kept walking. I entered the Cargo Hold and saw my mother. She was trying to control the water with her Sylveon. "... It's no use, the water can't be controlled," she said, not noticing me. "Mum!" I shouted. She turned and saw me. "Anthony, is that really you?! What are you doing down here? I thought that you were some where safe..." she trailed off. " It's no use hiding from me mum. I heard you and Crescent. What's happening?" I asked her. "You heard us? But... how? Nevermind, that's not the important thing right now. The ship won't last very long Anthony. We're going to have to abandon it. I have a Pokemon who we can use to surf to the shore. But as for the other people-" she was about to say something else but we were interrupted. "What makes you think you are safe from our onslaught?" a voice suddenly said. A woman with purple hair appeared in front of us. She literally just materialized out of thin air. "We came here for one purpose, and for one purpose only. And we're not leaving until we've fulfilled that purpose," she continued. "Are you the one who's behind the attack?," my mother shrieked. "Perhaps that's a possibility, bit that's not something I'm comfortable sharing. The only thing that truly matters right now is your apprehension," the woman replied. "M-My apprehension?" I could hear my mother stuttering. "That's correct. Do you think Anthony was our target? Maybe that's what they made you think, but that couldn't be further from the truth," the woman said. "If all you wanted was me, why would you go so far as to destroy the ship?! You have endangered all these innocent people who have no idea what's going on!" my mother shouted angrily. "Witnesses can be such a bother... it's best to just wipe them all out together," the woman replied coolly. "And what if someone manged to get out? They would spread awareness," my mother argued. "If they get out- Which they won't. It won't be too bad considering most people think we are quite passive anyways. It's time people woke from this dream of safety they have going on," the woman said, with finality in her tone. That was it. That was the last straw. I turned to Mom to say something but I stopped. She was looking at the woman with a crazed look on her eyes. "Huh, it's going to go down like this, isn't it?" she replied huskily. Then she turned to me. "Anthony, you have your pokemon right? Use them to escape, and here, take this Pokemon too, it will help you swim to the shore. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters to me," she said to me, stuffing a PokeBall in my hands. "Mom, what's going on-" I began, but was cut off. "Sorry, that's not happening," the woman said, and suddenly those weird Deoxys thingies appeared between my mother and me. "Mom!" I shouted, confused and scared. "Don't think you're safe, you're next, Anthony," the woman said to me. Just then, I heard a crashing noise. I looked up and leapt out of the way. The Grand Piano which was inside the banquet room came crashing down and landed on teh weird Deoxys thingies. "W-What?," the woman looked flabbergasted. Just then I heard a faint voice. "The sounds of the piano crashing through the floor? That song was dedicated to you, Anthony. I don't even know if it was worth in the long run. Try to escape the place, kid. But looks like my time is here is up." It was the pianist lady. So she had sacrificed herself to save me... I knew what had to be done. I had to escape. I ran out of the room before anyone could say a thing. But outside the Cargo Hold I found grunts waiting for me. "You can't escape," one of them said. "Can't I? Royal, Sacred Sword!" I said and smashed my arm into the nearest grunt. I usually never got into physical fights. But I could pack a good punch if I wanted to, and it did the trick. He fell back, his nose bleeding. Meanwhile, Royal used Sacred Sword to destroy the ceiling and create a blockade. "Good job Royal! But we aren't down yet. If we can get to the uppermost deck, we can escape," I told Royal. I emerged onto the ground level of the ship and found that I was surrounded by the weird Deoxys thingies. But I had a plan. "Royal! Return! Firestorm! Use Bounce to get out of here! And WhiteDove use Whirlwind to blow them back!" The Deoxys thingies got pushed back by Whirlwind and Firestorm's Bounce got us to the next level. "Now Driller, Flood the lower level with Bullldoze!" which totally submerged the lower level and created another blockade. But as I sped down the walkway I saw that the grunts were now rushing at us. "Okay Firestorm, use Fire Spin and trap them!" The grunts were trapped in the vortex and I escaped to lower deck because the stairs were blocked. It was raining outside. But Peeko was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it was raining naturally. I had another worry now. In the rain the Fire Spin is not gonna last. And they were rushing at me from all sides. But every problem had a solution. "WhiteDove! Take advantage of the rain and blast them back with BubbleBeam! And then trap them with Whirlpool!" my plan worked and now I was very close to the uppermost deck but I was starting to get tired now. My head started hurting, and my body felt heavy. But I couldn't give up. I had to escape. As I sped onto the uppermost deck, I saw that I was surrounded now. And was tired worse than ever. "You can't escape, give up," a man said. And he was right. I couldn't run anymore, and my Pokemon were too tired from fighting the grunts and their Pokemon. I slowly tried to edge towards the side, but I was too tired to move, my brain was shutting down, I couldn't do anything. As I was about to give up, a Talonflame swooped out if the sky with a loud cry and grabbed me by the shoulders and swooped off. ************ We flew for some time then I saw Oceana Pier. The Talonflame landed there. It laid me gently on the ground. I was about to faint when I saw a yacht pull in. A woman got out of the yacht. "I saw what happened! Thank goodness I was not too late! Are you okay? she said. "It w-was you? Y-Y-You saved m-me?" I asked her, my breath coming out in rasps. "Er... yes," she replied. "Th-Thank y-you for saving m-me, Miss," I croaked, fell forward, and said no more. CHAPTER 8 LINK

Loved this chapter. How do you get pictures of scenes which are not actually in the game btw?

Do you mind grinding a new mon? Like Klinklang really helps out Once Adrienn's cleared the mist use steel type attacks which will help out a lot I beat adrienn using shift gear+ gear grind spam in my Klinklang and se healing items Steel attacks get boosted by the fairy tail field and adrienn will always start that field by using tailwind on xyr prankster whimsicott If possible, use oricorio to set your own Tailwind and hit them back Fire attacks are useless as the fairy tail field gives them a part dragon type damage and fairy is immune to dragon Get some good steel types and you'll come out with flying colours

So End of Prologue Time for the first Season SEASON 1: THE START Also, I cut the ship sequence on half since the chapter was getting too long. Chapter 6: Eavesdropping surprises The final day of the voyage arrived. I woke up that morning and my mother greeted me. "Good morning Anthony, today is the final day of our voyage. We'll arrive at Oceana Pier this evening," "Good," I replied. "And that reminds me, have you registered for the Aevium's League?" she asked. I was horrified. "I completely forgot!" I gasped. Which was perfectly true. The voyage had been so fun that I completely forgot about getting registered for the league. "Well, you had better do that now. Because there's gonna be a banquet in the evening to mark the end of this voyage and you won't have time to do it later," she warned me. "Thanks for reminding me mum. I'm gonna go do that right now," I said and went out of the room. I went down to the ship's cyber cafe and sat down at one of the stations. There were a few other trainers around me. All registering for the Aevium League. I powered on the computer and the screen blinked to life. A woman with red hair appeared on the screen. "Hi," she smiled. "I'm Amanda. I'm what you'd call a League Scout. You know, scouting trainers for the Aevium League," she said. "I see," I replied. "So you're a new trainer?" "Er... Not really. I was a trainer in the Unova Region before coming to Aevium," "Oh. Now then... Name?" "Anthony" "Age?" "18 years" "Alright, let me put that info on the computer and... Done. Do you want to know anything else?" she asked. "No," I replied. "Alright then. When you arrive at Gearen City come straight to the Gearen Labotary. I guess I'll see you when you get to the Gearen Labotary then. Don't forget. Gearen Laboratory!" she signed off. The screen went black. ************ As I collected my shiny new trainer card and came out of the cyber cafe, I heard my mother's voice. "Hm, I wonder if Anthony's finished with his registration yet?" She saw me. "Ah! There you are. Did everything go smoothly? Since you're done with the registration, would you mind taking a quick stroll with me?" she asked. "Sure thing, mum," I replied. We started strolling together up the ship. We stopped behind a pair of huge doors. "You see those doors? When the ship is close to docking at Gearen City, the feast will be held there," she explained. "Wow!" I exclaimed. "Amazing isn't it?" and without waiting for an answer she went on, "Now I know that things have been difficult ever since we left, but we mustn't become depressed, okay?" "What're you talking about mum?" I asked, completely nonplussed. True, I was a bit sad about leaving my friends but I didn't take that too badly. After all, I still called them every other day. But I couldn't help noticing that my mother's eyes were far away. "Are you okay mum. Everything is fine right?" I asked her. "What? Oh, of course everything is fine! So there's some time left before the feast. Why don't you explore the ship until it's time?" she advised me. "I'll do that," I told her. "Good, I'm happy to hear that. Now I've some stuff left to do. So I'll meet you later then, alright?" she said. "OK," I replied. Then she went downstairs and was gone. Well, that was strange. But I didn't think much about it. I walked down the ship thinking about Gearen City when I didn't notice that my legs had carried me to an empty room. The doors were open. Now that's weird. I entered the room and saw a man standing there, his back against the wall. "Hey, what're you doing there? This room is supposed to be empty," I asked him. "Oh I saw this room's door open and came in here and would you believe that? If you press your ear against that wall you can hear what's going on in the next room!" he explained, pointing at the walls his back had been against. "Really?" I asked, intrigued. "Here, you can try," and he moved away from the wall. I went towards the wall and put my ear against it. The man was not joking. I could really hear what was going on the next room. There was a knock on the door of the next room and a deep woman's voice said "Enter". I was about turn away when I heard something. My mother's voice. *************** "Crescent...? It's me..." I heard my mother say. "Yes, come in," I heard that deep woman's voice say, whom I presumed to be Crescent. "So you do understand the position you're in, correct?" "Yes, I believe so, but if I'm honest... I'm not sure if I'm read. I know what you said about me before, but I genuinely feel fear," replied my mother. What're they talking about? "Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to hear your faux emotions," Crescent said. Faux Emotions? "All I'm interested in hearing is that you telling that you're ready to take this role. I'm sorry, it's my fault really, really.i just didn't make your position clear enough from the beginning. Either you're ready to fulfill your duty, or you are of no use to me. You don't get the option to tell me if your ready or not," she continued. What role? What position? And ready for what? "Yes Crescent, I understand. I think all I need is a little bit of time," my mother said. "Time is all you have left. All I want to see is Anthony smile. That's all. Once we dock at East Gearen City, you're to go to West Gearen City and live normal lives. If I ever get a small inkling of betrayal from you, I won't hesitate to-" "You don't have to worry about that. I have no plans to do such a thing..." my mother cut in. "Good, I'm glad to hear it. Now that we're clear on what to do, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. The banquet is going to start soon and I need to get ready," said Crescent. "I'll be on my way then," I heard my mother say and the door closed. ************** Back in the next room, I was standing breathing heavily. What was all that about? What did that woman Crescent mean by 'Wanting to see me smile again'? And living in West Gearen City, does that mean I won't get to explore Aevium? No that cannot be the case I was so confused by all that. What was going on? CHAPTER 7 LINK

I bet that this will be used in the Garufa ruins under Carotos Mountain

You're right

A ling time sine the last chapter. But things haven't been going too well. After downloading some new updates my PC won't start. Which means i have to watch a playthrough to cover important plot points i may have missed. Thanks for reading my rant. Here's Chapter 5 (the final chapter of the Prologue). PROLOGUE Chapter 5: Departure I went back home to find my mother waiting for me. I told her what had happened and she told me that she had never seen anything like that, ever. "No use worrying about it now. Atleast you won't have to leave them" she told me. "I suppose that's true," I sighed. "You had better go now and pack your bag. We are leaving tomorrow," she reminded me. "Right" I said and went upstairs. ******************** The next day we went to the Castelia Port to get our ship. The ship's name was the S.S. Oceana. It was a luxury liner (Or so i had heard). We arrived at the port and saw my friends gathered there to say goodbye. "All right there, future Champ" Natalie greeted me. "How do you know i am the future Champion?" I asked her. "I just know that. Because you are a great trainer," she replied. "She's right. Now, you had better keep in touch or else I will personally come over and hunt you," Howard tried to sound intimidating. But he didn't realize that nobody found him frightening. "Hah. Yeah, right" I replied, smirking. We talked for some time and then it was time to board the ship. "Well, I think i had better get going, I may not come back for a very long time. Aevium is very big" I said. "Sure thing Anthony. Bye!" John said. "Keep in touch!" Emilia said. I left them and boarded the ship with my mother. I looked back and they were waving at me. I waved back at them and turned away. I felt sad and happy and happy at the same time. Sas because I won't be seeing my friends and Unova for a very long time. Happy because I was going to a new region. Who knows what I'd find there? I started to explore the ship. The ship was very big. There was even an arcade. The captain was an old man from the Hoenn region called Augustus Briney. He also owned a large Pelliper named Peako who always made it rain because of its ability. So it had to stay outside. Lest it flooded the interiors of the ship with its rain. The other passengers were very friendly. And the days passed swiftly until.... CHAPTER 5 LINK

Zebstrika: all attacks use its attack stat to deal damage regardless of move category Plus it'll get +1 attack against slower opponents

I don't know if you guys are taking gen 8 but I want to give one for orbeetle. Orbeetle crest: Orbeetle's defences are buffed by 1.3 and now it takes 25% less damage from super effective hits (basically solid rock) Plus light screen and reflect will last as long as orbeetle is on the field otherwise they will last 5 turns But If this is too overpowered. Orbeetle will do 10% less damage on neutral hits and resistant hits. And critical hits against this pokemon will ignore the solid rock like boost Hope this gets added!

Sure

I'm keeping the plot pretty much the same with a few changes here and there. So the arrival will be pretty much the same

Which download should I use?

Yeah Anthony will understand what happened when he does tthe narcissa quest

I don't know if it actually ever happens in the game. As for her being able to time travel is taken from the hoverboard dude. And the Pokemon Devolving is taken from the dufaux quest when dufaux sends adult Narcissa's back in time and brings a younger version.

Thanks! The next one's gonna be short. But basically because it's him and Nancy departing

confirm button creates dis....

Ch. 4. enjoy ! PROLOUGE Chapter 4: Devolving? I finished reading the books and headed downstairs. "Hi, mom. I'm going to Nuvema Town now. I'll be late." I said, saddened. "Sure thing, dear. I'll have lunch ready for you when you come back home" she replied. "Alright mom. See you later!" I said and headed out. **************** It was a long walk towards Skyarrow Bridge. I decided to ride on the back of Firestorm (Rapidash) since it'll be quicker that way. I reached the bridge and took out Firestorm's PokeBall. "Come out, Firestorm!" I shouted. "Ready for a long ride to Nuvema?" I asked him. "Rapiiiiiii!" He neighed. "Good" I said. "Alright, let's go!" and I rode off. ***************** I entered Pinwheel Forest and decided to go through the straight route. As I approached the middle of the road, I saw a commotion ahead. Some workers were cutting what seemed like a tree trunk. "Hey! Don't come near" a worker shouted upon seeing me come nearer. "But why? What's happening?" I asked him, perplexed. "We don't know, but we came here this morning and we saw that some trees had fallen onto the straight route to Nacrene City. So we are working on clearing a route. We won't be done for a few hours. If you wanna go to Nacrene City you'll have to go through the route through the forest" the worker explained. "Aww, too bad" I said. Firestorm had trouble walking through the tall grass since very few people used that path anymore and it became unkempt and the grass growed very long. "Alright. Firestorm, return to your PokeBall" I sighed resignedly. I sent out Snek (Serperior) out of its PokeBall to keep me company through the forest. As I was walking (crashing will be a better word) through the forest, I saw a woman blocking the way through. "Um, excuse me, will you mind moving out of the way? I need to go through" I asked her. "As a matter of fact, I do mind" she replied. "We need to talk" I looked at her. Taking in her appearance. She was wearing a white suit and over her eyes there were red goggles preventing me to see her eyes. I had never seen her life before. "I'm sorry but I don't know you. Now kindly move out of the way. "You may not know me, but nor do you need to know me, Anthony" "How d'you know my name?" "Does it really matter?" "It does, now tell me how you know my name" "I think I'm the one asking questions here" she replied coolly. "Now tell me, where are you going." "What is it to you!" I shouted, now starting to get seriously annoyed. "There there, no need to get so angry. You're going to Nuvema Town to hand in your Pokemon to Professor Juniper because your Pokemon are over leveled and you want to make things fairer by using much weaker Pokemon, aren't you?" "How?" I said, thunderstruck. "That expression on your face confirms it. I need just one final thing from you now" she said, looking at me directly in the eye (maybe I imagined it, I certainly couldn't see her eyes) "What?" I asked her, apprehensive. "A Pokemon Battle" she replied,taking out a PokeBall. "Let's get this over with" I said, taking our mine. And so our battle began. The first Pokemon she sent out was Beheeyem, a Psychic-type. I sent out Royal to counter it. "Alright Royal, use Shadow Sneak!" I ordered him. Shadow Sneak did damage, but not as much as it should, and the Beheeyem used Recover to regain its health. However, the next turn when I told Royal to use Shadow Sneak again, it couldn't. Horrified I took out my PokeDex and checked Royal's stats. It showed that Shadow Sneak was disabled. How, I didn't know. So I ordered Royal to use Flash Cannon which Royal luckily got a critical hit on, and the Beheeyem fainted. The next Pokemon was Mismagius, a Ghost-type. Unfortunately, Royal's Shadow Sneak was still disabled. So I swapped out Royal for Snek. The Mismagius went for Shadow Ball and it did damage. Serperior landed a field-boosted Leaf Storm which fainted Mismagius. After Mismagius, she sent out a Normal-type Porygon-Z. I sent out Driller (Excadrill) to deal with it. Driller went for Earthquake which did over half of the damage despite being nerfed by the Forest Field. It went for Hidden Power which was super-effective and did over half of Driller's health. Luckily, Driller was faster and another Earthquake finished the Porygon- Z off. Next came out a Stantler. I sent out WhiteDove. Stantler was faster and went for Return which would've KO'd White dove, but it held on. I suddenly thought, 'This is what happened back in my Battle with Iris'. I told WhiteDive to go for Hurricanes. Which did damage and confused it. Unfortunately, the next Return KO'd WhiteDove. I sent out Driller to deal with it and the Stantler fainted. Down to two Pokemon, she sent out a Klingklang. I sent out Firestorm to deal with it and a single Flare Blitz ohko'd it. Her final Pokemon was...... I don't know. It was a large, purple coloured Pokemon with what looked like wings. The PokeDex couldn't recognise the Pokemon but it told me it was a Psychic/Dragon type. This a job for Riser (Espeon). I sent it out and the odd-looking Pokemon used Heat Wave. Riser tanked the hit and went for Psychic. Finishing the battle. "Those Stantler and Beheeyem are not normal! What have you done to them?" I asked her. "Well well well, you are a strong trainer. And I'm sure you know about Crests. So time for me do this. Beheeyem, do it" she said. "What're you on abou-?" I began to ask but stopped. A bright light was coming from the Beheeyem. Then there was a flash of green light. Momentarily, I couldn't see anything. But when I was able to see, I saw that she, her Beheeyem and my Pokemon had disappeared. So Crests can make Pokemon powerful. I didn't care about her, but I was concerned about my Pokemon. "Royal? Snek?" I called out. But nobody appeared. "Royal? Snek? Riser? Driller? Firestorm? WhiteDove? Guys? Where are you?" I called out again. Then suddenly, an Eevee came towards me. That's odd, Eevee can't be found in Pinwheel Forest. They can be found in the Castelia Park. "Hang on" I said, seized by a sudden suspicion. "Are you Riser?" I asked it. The Eevee nodded. "But then that means that..." A Honedge, Ducklett, Ponyta, Snivy and Drilbur appeared. "Oh god" I said. I returned them to their PokeBalls and ran towards Castelia City. There was no need to visit the Professor now. ****************** "...Are you sure you're not joking Anthony?" John asked. "Why would I joke about something like this?" I asked him. It was late evening. I had gone back to Castelia and straight to John's house a little earlier than he expected and turns out that he, along with a few other friends had planned a surprise party for me because it was my birthday today which I had completely forgotten. My other friends- Emilia, Howard and Natalie were looking at me because I had told them what happened in the forest. "You attended the seminar by Professor Elm on Pokemon Evolution. Am I right John?" Natalie asked him. "I did" he said slowly. "Did he mention anything about Pokemon Devolving?" This time it was Howard who asked. "No" he said. "Well then there's only one explanation." Emilia said. "What?" The rest of us asked together. "It's a possibility that Anthony's Pokemon traveled back in time" "That could be true but it's highly unlikely" John said. "Well, Pokemon revert after Mega Evolving. And since none of Anthony's Pokemon are capable of Mega Evolving, that's the only explanation. Pokemon can't devolve naturally" she explained. "By the way, what're you going to do with your Pokemon Anthony?" Natalie asked, watching Royal, now a Honedge, zooming over our heads. "I'm taking them with me. Because they are weak in their pre-volved forms. And that was the reason I went to Professor Juniper." I replied. "Right, you're leaving tomorrow, aren't you?" Howard asked. "Yep" I answered him. "Well, I think I should get going now. It's getting late. See you guys tomorrow!" Natalie was gone. And after that Howard and Emilia took their leave too. I was left alone with John. "Well John, I think I should also go. Thanks for the wonderful party" I said and I was about to go when- "Hey Anthony" he said. "I'm sorry" "Sorry for what?" I asked him. "For telling you that you became overconfident in the battle against Iris. I know I made you angry that day" he apologized. I looked at him. "Forget it John. You were right and I've come over it. Alright?" I told him. "Thanks" he said. "So..." "Bye. I'll see you tomorrow" CHAPTER 5

i'll show the last 4 off in the next chapter

i'll do that

something's gonna happen in the next chapter i meant that as a joke. LOL btw, it was actually your reborn series and another series that inspired me to write this hey, how do u put signatures at bottom ? got it

Nancy cares for Anthony. But he can let his emotions get to him sometimes. That's when Nancy becomes stern. As for Lavender getting nominated when Melia went missing I didn't know who to place as Psychic-leader. Nice to know that I have atleast one reader. Lol Ty for reading!

Well, here's chapter 3. PROLOGUE Chapter 3: All About Aevium (and Anthony!) I was quite taken aback by John's sudden departure but I didn't think much about it. Mom was not home and I didn't have anything to do. So I thought about John saying that I got overconfident during the battle. And as much as I hate to admit it, he was right. Under normal conditions, Haxorus should've fainted from the Shadow Sneak. But it was the bond between Iris and her Haxorus that let it survive the hit. 'Oh well,' I thought to myself. 'I'll make it up to him tomorrow. Around 6 that evening my mother, Nancy returned, laden with bags. "Hiya mom," I greeted her. "Where were you?" "I was at the new Castelia Mall. Shopping" she replied with a smile. "Did you hear about the match?" I asked her, unsure of what I wanted to hearar. "I did. And you battled brilliantly Anthony. But you got over confident, and that ruined your chances of winning" she said. "John thinks so too" I sighed gloomily. "And he is quite right. Listen to me Anthony. Don't get depressed. Aevium's nothing like you've seen before. You're gonna have the time of your life there." She told me. "You think so?" I asked her doubtfully. "I do think so, there are a ton of places to visit there. Trust me. And there are 18 badges to collect there. That means more training and better chances of winning against the champion. So stop whining" she told me sternly. "You're right mom. I can't get depressed. I'm really excited about Aevium" I said. "Right, Aevium. Here. Something to take your mind of things" and she gave me two books."Here are some books on Aevium. I thought you might like it" I looked through the books. One was on the history of Aevium and the other was a guidebook for trainers. "Thanks mom. I'll read through them" I thanked her. And I went to bed. I lay in bed thinking for a long time about what mim had said. She is right. I cant get depressed. And I certainly can't become stronger by doing nothing. After thinking about all that I took the book on history on Aevium. "Aevium was once a lush region. But then, 50 years ago, the terrible calamity called Storm-9 came and devasted the region and tore it into different islands. Since then the region, with the help of all people and Pokemon, the region has restored itself." These words were at the start of the book. I knew about Storm-9. All the regions in the world had been affected by it. I wasn't present when Storm-9 occurred. But I had read in history books that the whole of Aspertia City, Nuvema Town and Route 19 had been destroyed by a large tsunami. The Castelia Port had also been destroyed by the same tsunami. I flicked through the book at random and opened a page titled- "Garufa: The ancient people of Aevium" The name sounded interesting, so I began to read. "The Garufa were an ancient tribe of Aevium who detested all Pokemon but liked a few. They also used to perform rituals, which often included sacrifices. The sacrifices also sometimes included Pokemon. And it was through these sacrifices that the Garufa created mysterious items called 'Crests'. Crests are items which when put on a Pokemon, increase it stats. However, there is only one specific type of crest for one Pokemon. And all Pokemon don't have crests." I stopped reading. Disgusted by the fact that Pokemon were used by the Garufa. But I was intrigued by the crests. What kind of magic, I asked myself, can turn the sacrifice of a Pokemon into an item which boosts the Pokemon of the same species as the Pokemon sacrificed. Mulling over things, I fell asleep. The next day I woke up quite suddenly. I turned in my bed and picked up the guidebook on Aevium. I flicked to the Pokemon League section. "Aevium has 18 Pokemon Gyms, one for each type. After beating all the Gym Leaders and collecting all 18 Gym Badges, trainers must proceed to the Elite Eight and defeat them. Only after beating them the trainer will have a chance to procede to the Champion's Room and battle with the current Champion of Aevium for the title of Champion" Surprised, I stopped reading. So Aevium has an Elite Eight instead of the Elite Four which is the norm for all other regions. Well, that would provide a fun challenge. Next, there was a list of the Aevium Gym Leaders by Rank. Aevium has 18 Gym Leaders- Venam (Poison) Keta (Fighting) Narcissa (Ghost) Valarie (Water) Crawli (Bug) Kreiss (Ice) Amber (Fire) Saki (Steel) Volta (Electric) Flora (Grass) Lavender (Psychic) Talon (Flying) Adam (Rock) Ryland (Ground) Damien (Dragon) Deagan(Dark) Surprisingly, there were no mentions of a Fairy or a Normal type Gym Leader. My mother had told me last night that we would be going to a place called East Gearen City. The guidebook said that it was filled with weak pokemon and new trainers. I was horrified by that. It wouldn't be fair if I brought champion-level Pokemon against new trainers. I decided that I'll go to Nuvema Town and hand my Pokemon in to Professor Juniper today. It hurt to do this, but it was the right thing to do. I will bring them out again when I get to the level they are right now when in Aevium. I discussed this with my mother, and she agreed with me. Well, I'll hand them in later. After that I flicked through the book yet again and opened a random page. It was about one of the city of Aevium. It was titled 'Grand Dream City: The City of Dreams' The name sounded interesting. So I began to read. "Grand Dream City, often simply abbreviated as GDC, is the largest city in Aevium and located in the Terrial Island. It has a total of 8 districts, and houses two Aevium Gym Leaders. It also has PokeStar Studios." GDC sounds interesting. I will go there at first opportunity. And PokeStar Studios is awesome. I couldn't wait for day after tomorrow, when I'll be leaving for Aevium. I glanced out of the window and saw it was late in the morning. I decided to go to Nuvema Town now since it will take a long time to go through Skyarrow Bridge and Pinwheel Forest. And then go to John's house since he invited me there. CHAPTER 4
