hi yall, this is wrong wolf speaking again...my laptop broke down last week and I just got it back, so i didn't hav time to edit my other fanfic (Sand and Crystal). But meanwhile this new story came into my mind one night. I actually had a vague idea of the plot all along as i wondered what happen if i mix the original Pokemon series with Colosseum. i decided to write it on a piece of paper and post the first chapter up before i lose the hard copy. so for those of you who prefer Sand and Crystal, I will try to post a new chapter next weekend, since i will be departing for vietnam tomorrow. I apologize for the lateness, but in the mean time, please enjoy this new story. I present you Pokemon Colosseum: Shadow of the Day

PS: there is no relationship between Shadow of the Day and Sand and Crystal. It doesn't matter which one you read first.

Chapter 1: Champion and Savior

"Once a trainer, always a trainer."

The signpost standing by the entrance of Agate Village welcomed Ash, Pikachu, Broke, and Misty as they stepped into the peaceful and sacred place. The country side of Orre was actually occupied by retired trainers who once had their own sagas in the world. In order to further understand and toughen the bound between them and their Pokemons, Ash and company decided to retreat into the village for a week.

"Damn that bus ride was messed up." Ash complained. "And there are nothing out there except for dessert."

"At least we don't need to stay at Pyrite town for tonight." Broke sighed. "lets get a hotel."

As the group passed by the Poke Center, an old man in black greeted them.

"Ah! Youngsters, welcome to the Celebi blessed village of Agate. Meditation, I pressume?"

The four companions nodded. A couple trainers walked out of the PC and gasped at the sight of Ash.

"I know you! You are Champ Ketchum of Kanto!" one of them exclaimed. Soon more people joined in.

"Cool, can I have an autograph?"

"Can I pet your Pikachu?"

"Can I take a pic with you?"

After fifteen minutes of signing and posing for photos, they were approached by another old man, who seemed to have more authority around the area. The elder had long white hair and beard, and was wearing a purple and green cloak.

"Mr. Ketchum, on behalf of the village, welcome to Agate, and I apologize for the rudeness we invoked upon your arrival."

"That is ok..." Ash blushed.

"Although I strongly recommend you young trainers to visit our world famous Celebi relic, you might be interested in meeting our own...er...champion of Orre. He and his partner, who happened to be my granddaughter are taking a break here from their travels and you two can have a chat or maybe even a battle."

"Wow, Orre has a champion?" Misty asked as people around them cheered at the elder's idea.

"More like a savior. He might be in the forest. If you could excuse me." he turned and headed towards a cave.

"OMG I cannot wait to meet the local champ! This is so gonna be gg!" Ash exclamied.


The cave beneath the bridge led to a forest outside, where a relic stood between the cave and the calm and soothing forest that served as a home of the only wild Pokemons in the entire Orre region. Leaning against a tree was a teen around seventeen wearing black jeans and black sleeveless shirt. He was also wearing a pair of black leather boots that assisted him to cross the land in multiple times. A silver visor was found on his sandy colored hair that protected his awesome yellow eyes from many sandstorms. A white stripe was drawn across the tired face of his.

His golden eyes were hiding behind his eyelids as the sandy haired boy was resting in the peaceful forest. His two faithful pokemon, an Espeon and an Umbreon were also snoozing next to him. Other wild Pokemon residents of the forest came by and admired at their savior who had rescued them from being captured by heartless trainers and scientists.

His peacefulness was short lived; he felt something was tickling his nose and he sneezed softly, wide awoke. Some Pokemon scattered away, others remained at their current locations. The Espeon looked at his trainer abruptly while the Umbreon kept on sleeping.

The sandy haired boy saw a girl of his age who was wearing an ocean blue jacket, white skirt, purple tank top and pink boots kneeling in front of him. The girl had red hair tied up in two pig tails and a pair of glittering blue eyes that no one could resist. She was holding a leaf and beaming at the sandy haired boy.

He just groaned at her and lean back onto the trunk. His Umbreon started to snore loudly while his Espeon got up and rubbed his neck on the girl's leg. The redhead frowned.

"Dude, are you just gonna sleep all day?" the girl stomped her feet on the ground.

"C'mon, we just got back from Hoenn and you woke me up so early this morning that I barely caught any sleep." the sandy haired boy muttered.

"That's because you stayed up all night watching that movie."

"Well it was a good one."

The red head ignored the sandy hair guy and faced the Umbreon. She started to rub the canine's belly, causing him to yelp cheerfully. The dark Pokemon got up and started to lick the girl's face.

"See?" the redhead snapped. "Even Umbreon got up. Come on, are you just gonna hibernate in here?"

The guy just slapped his visor over his eyes and but was looking at the girl cautiously.

"Well, fine! You can just waste your life away while Espeon, Umbreon and I are gonna get something to eat." the girl started to turn and leave when the sandy haired guy stirred up. She turned towards him but was pulled down and the next second she found herself starring at the shinning golden eyes of his. The sandy haired guy smirked and started to tickle her. His Pokemons barked and purred playfully as the girl giggled.

"Stop, you bastard, you always catch me off guard! It's not fair!" the red head laughed.

"Well you want me to get up right? Isn't that what you want?" the smirk on the guy's face widened as he continued to tickle his friend.

After a moment, when both of them were exhausted, the redhead lied onto the sandy haired guy and stared into his eyes. He too was starting into her eyes that sparkled like a pair of sapphires. Damn, he thought, I could just stare into those eyes all day.

The girl leaned closer and wiped the white stripe gently with her fingers. The guy smiled and pulled her closer. She leaned slowly towards him and touched his forehead with hers. His heart was pounding violently as he smelled the aroma from the girl's hair. He just kept gazing into her eyes.

"So what was the movie about?" the girl finally broke the silent.

"A comedy. Four guys round my age tried to lose their virginity before going to college."

"Dude you are one dirty bastard."

"Nah, they censored almost everything...unless you wanna show me."

"You have watched too much tv." the girl giggled and she laid her lips gently onto the sandy haired guy's. She took off her jacket, allowing the guy's palms to caress her bare shoulders. The two Eons who were ignored completely stared at the couple awkwardly, wondering if their presences should be allowed in this situation.

The two humans immediately unglued from each other when they heard a familiar voice calling their names. The sandy haired boy nervously removed his hands from the zipper of the girl's tank top while the redhead quickly jerked her hands off the guy's sagged pants. The two stood up as they tried to tidy up their clothings as quick as possible. The voice became clearer as an old man with long white hair and beard strolled in from the entrance of the cave.

"There you are. What have you two been doing?" he asked as he surveyed the patch of grass where the two teens were lying a moment ago.

"Nothing... we were just talking and enjoying the view." the girl said mischievously while trying to stop her giggles. The sandy haired guy was fixing his hair behind her. His Umbreon rolled onto its back started to laugh while his Espeon helped him to pick up his belongings.

"I see." the senior said. "Well there are a trio of visitors and one of them is better known as the champ of Kanto. He is interested to meet and challenge our local champion." At that point he nodded at the sandy haired teen.

"Woah, champion of Kanto versus the savior of Orre, thats gonna be massive!" the redhead exclaimed.

The guy just smiled and walked towards the entrance of the cave. He put on his visor and gave the redhead his typical smirk.

"Ash Ketchum, also known as "Red" or "Fire", age 18. Uses Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Snorlex, Pidgeot, and of course his world famous Pikachu. Only one trainer is known to match his skill, and that is the Johto champ Gordon "Gold" Abercrombie." He recited.

"You seemed to know a lot about your challenger." the elder smiled.

The redhead hugged the guy's arm as they departed the sacred ground. The two Eons trailed behind them, itching to meet their worthy opponent.

"It's always better to know your challenger before the game." The sandy haired teen said. "That gives us an advantage. No one outside of this region knows about the so called saviors Wes Wolf and Rui Hollister."
