BURNING AMBITIONS AND FLAMING COMPASSIONS

Unknown Tomb

Within the middle of Egypt's vast desert, an archeological crew were digging and finding rare artifacts believed to be older than the very first pyramids of Egypt. Inside a tent, a white, long haired man and a young woman were dusting off various relics from the tomb.

"Pegasus," the woman said, dusting off an aqua colored tablet, "If my hunch is correct, this tablet could be as old as the Great Pyramids themselves! Look! These carvings are like-"

"Duel Monsters!" said Pegasus, excitedly looking at the tablet, "I knew it!"

"Just then, a robed man runs inside, holding a chest. "Mr. Pegasus sir!"

"Yes?" asked Pegasus as the woman grabs the chest.

"Oh my!", she said as she studied the chest, "These hieroglyphics... there not Egyptian!"

"I say, it has happened again! This ancient chest is from Atlantis, another ancient city connected with Duel Monsters!"

"Really?!" said the woman excitedly, but she accidentally drops the chest, opening it, and dropping a yellowing scroll, "What's this?" Gently picking up and placing the scroll on the table, she unravels it, where it has hieroglyphs and a map of two areas.

Pegasus looked at the map, astonished, "This can't be! It looks like Atlantis had another part of its city!"

"Mr Pegasus?"

"Oh, this is amazing! The City of Atlantis was split in two, one of which was ruled by a different king!"

"R...Reallly?!"

"Oh, this is too astounding!"

"Mr. Pegasus! We should get down to translating these hieroglyphs at once!"

"Right!" said Pegasus, but then, he looks at the other artifacts and relics. "Wait! I can't leave this place, not just yet"

"But, the scroll!"

Pegasus smiles as he rolls the scroll up gently, "Isabel, take this to a dear friend of mine who lives near here, Professor Birch of Littleroot Town".

"Isn't that in Hoenn?"

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

"No, its just... I don't want to leave you in the dark. What if we make an Important discovery of Atlantis' sister city?"

"Don't worry about that. Kimo!"

"Yes, sir?" replied the robed man.

"Take Miss Orchid to the helicopter and tell the pilot 'Littleroot Town, Hoenn'".

"Yes, sir!"

After Kimo saw to Isabel Orchid's departure, he quickly went to another tent, where he quickly scribbled down onto a sheet of paper. Rolling it up, he summoned a Fearow from his Pokeballs. He put the scroll in a container, the Elemental Mark on it, and attached it to the Fearow.

"Go to Ultimate! He must know about this!" With that, he sends his Fearow away.

Littleroot Town

Professor Birch was in the field by his lab, studying some Zigzaggoons getting along with some Poochyenas. As he wrote down in his journal, a helicopter bearing the words Industrial Illusions landed near his lab, scaring away the Pokemon.

"What on…?" he sees the insignia, "Pegasus?"

The doors of the helicopter open, but only a woman, dressed in archeological clothing, stepped out.

"Hello! Are you by chance Professor Birch?" shouted the woman over the sound of the propellers.

"That's right"

"My name's Isabel Orchid," she said, shaking Birch's hand, "I was sent by Maximillion Pegasus to help me uncover this!" She shows the scroll in her hands.

"What is it?"

"It may be the map to uncover another city that is similar to Atlantis: a sister City!"

"I see".

"Is there anyway of translating it?"

"Hmm, we shall see".

Littleroot Town: Birch Lab

Birch carefully placed the scroll in a chamber, where it was being scanned by infrared lights. Isabel watched as he went to a computer, where it began to analyze it.

"Anything?" asked Isabel, watching the computer show the image of the scroll.

"Hmm," said Birch as he looks at the screen, "By the looks of it, the computer was able to translate the first part. It says that Atlantis had a sister city, hidden underneath the waters, in an active volcano. The place was also known as training grounds".

"Training grounds?"

"Doesn't say more. Just give the computer more time for its complete analysis".

"Or none at all," replied a voice.

Birch and Isabel turn around as an Arcanine slowly walked into the room, grinning.

"An Arcanine?!" said Isabel, shocked, "Since when can they talk?!"

Just before Arcanine can answer, a red haired woman pushes him aside. "LADIES FIRST, YOU IDIOT!!"

"You're a girl?" asked Arcanine.

"Glad you noticed!" said Pyramia, hitting Arcanine on the head. She then turns to Birch, "Now, be so kind and hand over the Scroll of Atlantis-Haven!"

"Never," said Birch as he and Isabel slowly backed away.

Pyra sighed as she held out her Sais and pointed them to Birch, "Wrong answer! Now, one more time... HAND OVER THE SCROLL!"

"Actually, how about you two freeze?"

"Why?" said Arcanine before a bluish outline appeared on him and Pyramia. "Hey! I can't move!"

"What did you do to them?" asked Isabel as both Pyramia and Arcanine tried to move.

"Simple. Alakazam," replied Birch.

"WHAT?!" said Pyramia as Alakazam came in, his eyes glowing blue.

"Alakazam is one of the strong Psychic Pokemon known to exist, but he can help us to learn about these two".

"Just who are you anyways? And what do you know about the Scroll?" asked Isabel.

"It's none of your business!" spat Pyramia.

"Miss Orchid, allow me. Alakazam, if you may, use Psychic to control either one of their minds and make him or her tell us about their identity".

"Heh, a small flaw in that plan," smiled Pyramia as she closed her eyes, her body being covered in steam.

"What flaw?"

"Flame Burst!" shouted Pyramia as the steam burst into flames, knocking down Birch, Isabel, and Alakazam, along with any nearby equipment and tools. "Never try to take on an Elemental Knight!" Pyramia approached the machine, the scroll still inside.

"No!" said Isabel, getting up and stepping in front of Pyramia and the Scroll.

"Step aside girl!" threatened Pyramia, lifting one of her Sais. "You don't want to mess with me, especially since you're just a mortal!"

"I can't allow you to have this scroll!"

Pyramia laughed. "Oh, and are you going to stop me-GAH!"

A Shadow Ball hits Pyramia's side and knocks her down.

"Good work, Alakazam!" said Birch as he tries to open the machine.

"NO!" said Pyramia as she fired flames.

"Alakazam, Protect!"

"A La KAZAM!" shouted Alakazam as a green barrier protected them from the flames.

"Arcanine, use Bite!" shouted Pyramia.

"Yes, Mistress!" shouted Arcanine as he bites Alakazam when its guard was down.

"No! Alakazam!" said Birch.

"Birch, look out!" shouted Isabel as Pyramia swatted Birch to the side.

"Now, for the Scroll!" she said as she melted the glass and grabbed the scroll.

"Stop!" shouted Isabel as she tried stopping Pyramia, but got swept aside.

"Never mess with the Elemental Knights!" laughed Pyramia as she held the scroll.

"Alakazam, use Shadow Ball on the Scroll!" shouted Birch.

Alakazam got loose from Arcanine's Bite and fired a black ball towards Pyramia's hand, hitting the scroll.

"GAH!" shouted Pyramia as she retracted her hand, the scroll destroyed.

"The scroll!" shouted Isabel, "What am I going to tell Mr. Pegasus now?"

"Well, at least our mission's done!" said Pyramia. "Arcanine, let's go!"

She hops onto Arcanine as they both sped out of the lab and into the forest, disappearing. As Isabel looks at the destroyed scroll, Birch smiled as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. The scan was completed before she tried to take it, copied and translated".

"Really?" Isabel's eyes began to light up.

Birch walks to his computer and begins to type on it, "In order to be safe, I've made two copies on separate disks... HUH?!"

"What is it?"

"One of the disks has gone missing!" exclaimed Birch as he tries to find the second disk.

"But how?!"

"Never mind that now. Listen, both disks contained full files, so we better do our research on the last file and find out what they're planning!"
