Hey, this is AF. I'm quite familiar how to write stories and am writing other stories. You all can call me a senior of fanfictions, but I am, afterall, an undergraduate student in college. I wrote this story to get it out of my head because it's distracting and ruining my concentration on focusing on my college projects and homework. Therefore, I need to get rid of this thought and put it into another story.
I don't own Pokémon.
Summary:
Semi-AU It wasn't long when the cycle of the Negative Pokémon began after an ancient relic was found. It said that if the tablet were to be found again, the Negative Pokémon would be released from the seal and cause havoc in the world. Also, the powers of the Eves' descendants would be awaken to end the said prophecy. It was up to them to find the "Mother" and awaken her to save the world, but they must travel around the regions to activate the tablets. They knew that it wasn't easy; they just don't know how hard their journeys are.
Prologue
The small island was too creepy for the women's taste. They and their teams have been through jungles like these in their previous travels on the other regions, but this was an overgrown rainforest mixed with the swamp environment. Plants were towering over the people, and the ground made them sink slightly before the explorers decided to use the roots as their stepping stones. The place was considered uninhabitable and unexplored because it wasn't on the map, and there were a few strong creatures roaming around the area. It was also meant that they have to bring their strongest protection with them, and two of them brought in the correct protection for this haphazard terrain. It's just that one of them didn't let her protection learn important moves, and that one was a guide who found an important place where "she" needed her friends.
"Demi… please use your Venusar to cut these plants. They're smacking me on the face, and I can't see." The short woman whined beside the taller companion as another plant smacked the cheek. The jungle was very dark that everyone had to use night visions for their travels. The teams could see each other's silhouette, but they can't see each other's faces. Her companion looked up at "Demi" who scowled at her companion and lightly scolded her.
"It's not my fault that you didn't let your Meganium learn 'Cut' or let Empoleon 'Surf' before you decide to show us where you found the relic. Also, it's also your fault for leaving your night vision goggles at my lab before you decided to send us here." The tall woman crossed her arms and sighed.
"Seriously, Amity. You have to learn to use these Hidden Machines for emergencies on your Pokémon, not just a selected few." "Amity," the shorter of her companion, sulked behind the tree, and everyone was in slight disbelief. It has been a few hours since the arrival onto the strange island, and now everybody was watching the guide sulk against the tree.
"It's still strange to see our super lucky explorer, Hailey, stumbled upon something important just to come unprepared, and she needed both of the famous Professor Sumerelian siblings for this expedition." The taller woman turned her head swiftly after their teams decided to shut up and turned their heads to the other way. The other woman sighed and threw a hand size mechanical ball in the air. The ball had its halves in two colors, red and white, and the middle seemed like an opening where the button looked like it would increase or decrease its size.
"Venasaur! Use Cut!" The ball opened up, and a bright light shot down to the ground. The light formed into a creature that resembled a large toad that would break any record of its size with a big flower on its back.
"Saur!" The so-called overgrown toad gave its master a disbelief look, and his master rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm not supposed to listen to Amity, but now is a good time to shed some light here. We can't afford to use up batteries on night vision goggles all the time." Her protection sighed but nodded. In a flash, all the leaves in their way were cut, leaving light through and giving an easier way to travel.
"Ah… much better." Amity stretched her muscles, but Demi just rubbed her eyes.
"I think I went blind." Her shorter companion smacked the taller one's arm, but Demi rolled her sharp, dark green eyes.
Her full name was Demetra Sumerelian, but she rather has people call her "Demi." She was a dark forest, long, haired woman who had her bang cover her left eye like she was the all knowing, mysterious person. Like any other traveler or explorer, she wore tan, buttoned polo dress shirt, tan short jeans, and knee high traveling boots.
The companion next to her was her childhood friend, Amity Hailey. Wearing the same clothes like her older childhood friend, Amity had short brown hair reaching to her chin and blue, childish eyes.
"Come on. Sage is waiting for us there since you showed him first. Let's just hope he doesn't blow up before I do."
0000
"It's about damn time that you got here!" The young man growled in sight when the two women got out of the jungle terrain. Like the image of Demi, this young man was the male version of Demi with very short hair with his bangs covering his right eye and a head taller than the Sumerelian woman. His sharp, dark green eyes glared at his female version in pure annoyance.
"Do you know how long and hard it was for us to wait while other Pokémon pop up every now and then? Blastoise is getting tired, and Blaziken is now fighting against Tropius since everyone else needed rest. Oh, and I hope you didn't bring Feraligatr over. I had enough of dealing with every freaking, strong Pokémon, and I don't want to deal with those two siblings fighting in front of my face."
If the people didn't know him so well, they would have thought that there was a woman stuck in a man's body by complaining of how long the two women took. This young man was her younger brother, Sage Sumerelian. They were both famous for their high ranking in their universities, but her brother was more famous for researching and reenacting the ancient fights, wars, and planning the introduction of a new way of battle. His older sister, the co-founder for such a fighting art, Demi, was just famous for translating words from a thousand year old text to modern words. They both fought each other and sometimes go physical, but they resolve each other for a few days of separation. That was when they were young; as adults, they use combat against each other with their Pokémon to solve their argument. Demi gritted her teeth and sighed.
"Let's just get this over and done with, Sage. I'm tired and don't want to solve this little argument. Amity, lead us where you found what you found."
Amity sighed. Unlike her smart childhood friends, she decided to become an explorer since she wasn't very good on other things except teaching. When she became an explorer, a lot of things happened to her. She was famous for finding a lot of hidden caverns in each region, and most of them were ancient texts and famous sites where people used to worship. Those only happen when Amity trips on things or step on floors to activate secret and safe passages.
Glancing at her childhood friends, the Sumerelian siblings were still researching and observing the creatures everyone called Pocket Monsters, or Pokémon. No one knows where these creatures come from, but they were highly intelligent like humans. However, these creatures were called Pocket Monsters because they could be caught into a mechanical ball, called Pokéballs, built for capturing Pokémon on certain conditions. There were many species all over the regions, and there may be more than just the number of Pokémon they researched in the collection of data. Each Pokémon had different types, weaknesses, and strengths. Most of them were full-fledged types, others were hybrids of two types, and a few of them needed weather conditions or types of environment for their advantages. Demi and Sage studied from the evolution of a weak Magikarp to an overpowered Gyarados and the transformation of a Castform in weather conditions. However, the rest of their research became bland and uninterested, so both brother and sister focused on their current findings from both the latest and current expedition founded by their childhood friend.
Out from the jungle and into the light, the team stretched and began taking out their equipment. Their destination was an open, large ruin site filled with old writings on the walls. The theory was it used to be some sort of building that used to stand as something important with this much writing. There were many guesses from the teams; they thought it was some kind of palace, a burial building, or some sort of worship temple. The only thing that the teams could do is to dig deeper into the mystery.
"All right, everyone! Split up and search. If you found something, shoot out a flare! Don't find things on your own since we don't know what's in this place! Send out your strongest Pokémon if anything happens to you." All the team members nodded and split up with their Pokémon out.
Demi decided to keep her Venasaur out for emergencies, and Amity sent out Empoleon for protection since her Pokémon was part Metal type. Amity's Empoleon was a very large black and blue penguin with a crown-like armor on its head. When Amity's Empoleon evolved, Demi was intrigued by its change into something that could express royalty instead of something stronger or bolder. Sage had to recall his Blaziken to follow his sister and his childhood friend for the fastest escape. Unlike Amity's Empoleon, his Blaziken seemed to be the rash type along with strength and brutality. Its pre-evolution was once a fiery chick; now it was a tall red bird-like creature that had arms and legs like a human. Its beak was its mask with its head grown down to an upside-down V-shape form, and its chest had its feathers into a V-shape form. While Amity led her two friends to the deeper parts of the ruins, Demi and Sage were observing the encryption on the walls.
"Do you know what they are saying, Demetra?" Sage asked, but Demi glared at her brother.
"Sage, you know I prefer being called 'Demi,' but to answer your question, it just says the history of the Pokémon and the powers they have from humans' points of view." Sage sighed.
"So it's like the observing them back in the lab, right?" Demi nodded, and the siblings were silent.
"We're here!" Both siblings bumped into Amity, and all three friends tumbled into a struggling pile.
"Ow! Get off!"
"You get off of me!"
"Whoa! You're pulling my shirt, Sage!"
"Pervert!"
"Ow! What was that for, Demi?!"
"AAAAHHHH!! YOU'RE PULLING MY SHIRT DOWN EVEN MORE!!"
"You know what?! Venusaur, Vine Whip to get us apart!"
"Saur…" The large Pokémon sighed and used its three vines to grab each struggling adult. Blaziken and Empoleon snickered and grabbed their respective trainers down. Unfortunately, the large penguin keep hold onto its trainer before she would claw her perverted childhood friend's face off. Demi coughed in embarrassment and dusted her clothes off.
"Well… that was embarrassing." Sage rolled his eyes.
"Uh-huh. Now, go translate whatever is in front of you." Demi glared briefly at her younger brother before looking carefully at the ancient words. The words were different from what the other text said on the walls. These words were on a large stone tablet that could fall any minute. However, this tablet stood there for more than possibly five hundred years, and it didn't look like it eroded like the walls around it along with the words. It was covered in moss, and the texts were still intact. When she stopped reading, the wording behind the hieroglyphics surprised Demi.
"It… It can't be…" Sage and Amity wondered what was she talking about, and her brother asked.
"What is it, Demetra?" She ignored her full name and was now excited on what it said.
"This! This must be the history of how the Pokémon came to this world! This tablet was made by humans who have witnessed the coming of the Pokémon!" Everyone gasped, and Sage asked.
"Is it true? The mysteries of how these creatures came to this world are in that tablet? Unbelievable! We must tell the other professors about this." Amity frowned and pointed out the obvious.
"Some of the hieroglyphics are covered in moss. I don't think that we can recover all of the mystery if we don't remove the moss. We need one of our team members to get the moss off." Sage glared at his friend.
"Don't you even think about removing the moss by just tools, Hailey. If you chipped a stone, Demi can't describe what it says." Amity fumed and glared at him, saying that she isn't that much of a klutz. Demi ignored her brother and her childhood friend and continued reading in her mind.
Astounding! A thousand years ago, it said that our ancestors and their animals used to live in this world. The world was once divided into many regions like the current regions except that there were fewer regions. It seems that humans overused their resources, and the animals they describe went extinct because of overpopulation and hunting. Demi frowned as the description stopped where the moss were.
I can't read the rest, but at the bottom, Pokémon came around to live in this world by a large creature. The humans saw an animal entity in the sky as it created many creatures that were only one species but later changed into many creatures. Demi nodded to herself.
It must be talking about Arceus and Mew since the legends say that Arceus was the creator of Pokémon, and Mew was the first species to inhabit the world. Demi looked at the last sentence but made a grim face.
What's this? In here, it said that Arceus wasn't the only Pokémon to create Pokémon walking in this land. It seems that there was another one, but… Demi crouched down and looked at the ending.
"The description ends here with scratches and… wait…" Demi saw a speck of brown on the stone and removed the moss. From the corner of the tablet, Demi gasped.
"Is… is that blood?" Nobody heard Demi's exclamation asAmity took out her flare gun and put it up in the air.
"We've got to tell the others!" When she pulled the trigger, the flare flew up. However, when the flare exploded, the ground under Demi crumbled. Sage and Amity immediately noticed her fallen figure.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
"Demi!!"
"Venasaur! Hurry!"
"SAUR!!" Vines immediately erupted from its back and went straight to catch its master from falling. Demi had the vines wrapped around her waist and her arms.
"Demetra! Are you alright?!" Sage called out from above, and Demi nodded.
"Yeah. Yeah. Give me a minute to breathe." However, Demi felt something slithering around her ankles and screamed.
"Demi! What's going on?!" Amity sounded scared for her friend, but Demi was screaming out and kicking.
"Damn it! Get me out of here! Let go!"
"Hold on, Demi!" Amity tossed a Pokéball up in the air and called out.
"Meganium! Use Vine Whip to help Venasaur!" Out from the ball and landed on the ground, a miniature, light green, long-necked sauropod with six, pink, flower petals on its neck and long antennas had a serious face.
"Meg!" Vines also shot out behind the petals and stretched down to grab the Sumerelian sibling. Blaziken was helping Venasaur pull Demi by the vines, and Empoleon pulled Meganium by the back for support. Sage took out a Pokéball and threw it in the air.
"Time is of the essence! Blastoise! Help out!" The machine opened up and revealed an overgrown, dark blue tortoise with large cannons on its shoulders.
"Blast!" It called out and aimed its cannon at the dark entity grabbing its master's sister. Spewing out the cannon, large, highly pressured amounts of water hit it to keep it down. The team members noticed the commotion and panicked when one of the professors was being dragged down.
"Victreebel! Use Vine Whip to help out!"
"Vaporeon! Use Hydro Pump on whatever's down there to save Professor Sumerelian!"
"Geodude and Graveler! Help out pull her out!"
"Golduck!"
"Machoke!"
"Ivysaur!"
Every Pokémon came out from its ball, and each creature was in different shapes and sizes. They all were helping one person to get out of the situation, and it is a matter of life and death tug-o-war. Demi felt like she was going to get swallowed into the darkness, and it scared her. It scared her so much that she felt her consciousness fading to black.
"Demetra!"
Her name was called out and a bright light appeared from the sky. The light shot down to where Demetra, Sage, and Amity were. Everyone else screamed their name out as they saw their mentors and guide's figures disappear in the beam of light.
0000
Demetra. I have finally found you.
You have lost your memories and may have forgotten me. But… I can't blame you for forgetting me.
However, I have something important to tell you.
The relic where your friend found was not supposed to be found.
It was hidden away from civilization, away from the eyes of all Pokémon and humans alike because of a terrible entity was sealed in that place.
This seal was to keep it away from the world forever as it weakens, and the demon was supposed to forget that it lived and wanted to destroy the world of humans and Pokémon.
Because you have read the history of how Pokémon came to the world, the seal is now broken, and the demon is now free with many of its newborns.
But not all hope is lost.
Your children are out there waiting for you to give them new life, and they are calling for you to help them.
They are known to be the your Eves, and each holds a unique power to awaken yours.
However, the demons are searching for them too, so you must find them quick.
When you awaken, you will remember your daughters by face, behavior, and age.
Train them to be strong to start their own journey, and when the time comes, you and your daughters will end to the demon's terror.
Then, maybe… no… you will probably hate me for what I did to you.
I am sorry. All this is not your fault; it was mine to begin with.
"…"
"…mi…"
"… Demi…"
"Demi! Please, wake up!" Dark green eyes snapped open to see the faces of a worried Amity and a concerned Sage.
"You okay?" Amity asked, but Demi groaned as her blood pulse bumped against her head.
"Freaking peachy… What in Zapdos' name happen?" She sat up from the cot she was lying on and held her head. The professor scanned her surroundings; they were inside a makeshift tent with a lantern on the plastic table. Outside had lights on, but the surroundings were still dark. Sage sighed and opened the curtains to reveal other researchers observing the caverns.
"Apparently, our teams said that a beam hit us dead on, and we all fell into the hole while some kind of dark matter came out of the hole scathed and apart. They found us unconscious and put us in their tents to wait for further instructions. Of course, I woke up first and told them to continue the expedition while you and Amity were still out cold." Sage smirked.
"Also, I told them about your findings on how the Pokémon arrived on our world. You should have seen them; they were astonished more than you are. Half of them are now helping us below, while the other half are up on the surface researching the writings on the tablet and on the walls." Demi could have glared at her brother if it wasn't for the major headache. Not only she had a migraine, Demi could still remember what that dream was about.
What the hell was that dream? I've never recalled any dreams in the past, but this one… I could remember everything. Demi winced as an image popped in her head without a warning.
Argh! This… what is this picture? Hold on. The Sumerelian woman cracked her eyes open and focused a bit.
Five girls… are these the Maidens my dream was talking about? I can't be too sure; the images are dark and blurry. Maybe… I have to wait until this headache clears.
Amity shivered and held onto Demi's shoulder, and Demi was concerned by the look on Amity's eyes. She and Amity were very close to a sister relationship, and Demi would always be worried about her friend's health since Amity's immune system isn't strong like Demi's or Sage's.
"Amity? What's wrong? You okay?" Her childhood friend shook her head and leaned against her shoulder.
"Demi. I think that we stumble upon something that we shouldn't find." Demi looked up and paled at the sight.
Blood… like the corner of the tablet…
It was everywhere. The sight of fresh blood was drawn on walls to portray pictures of grotesque images like a cult's prophecy on the walls of the world's end. The images were horrendous, and many of the researchers were more than disturbed on finding such a barbaric oracle. Demi couldn't take it anymore and threw the blanket off of her.
"Demi?" Demi breathed in and exhaled sharply for she was very disturbed of the sight. It was like something recently killed a lot of people here, and the smell of blood was obnoxious to her senses. She passed her brother and pushed the curtain away from her face, and the researchers noticed the Sumerelian's presence.
"Professor Sumerelian! You're awake!" One of the researchers stood up and ran to the mentor. She glanced at the young man and nodded.
"Yes. I'm awake. Now, is there something you want to tell me on everyone's findings?" The researcher nodded and pointed deep in the cave.
"We have, but we need your translation on the relic. It looks like an oracle of some sort." The Sumerelian sister's blood ran cold, and she clenched her fists.
No… it couldn't be…
"Professor?" Demi shook her head and looked straightforward.
"Let's go. The faster we find what's going on, the sooner we get the hell out of this place." She walked in a fast pace, and both of her companions jogged to catch up with her.
Her brother and friend never have seen her this disturbed after her parents' divorce and her knowing the ugly truth behind it. Whenever people ask about her parents, she would change the subject or leave immediately. She never wanted to talk about her past nor one of her parents. However, that was the angry disturbed. This disturbance was scaring her, and she was scaring her companions. Within a few yards, the researcher revealed another relic similar to the top relic. However, these sentences were separated far enough to make it like a riddle.
"Professor Demetra! Professor Sage! You two are all right!" She saw one of the famous and renowned professors in the regions studying the same relic one of their teams found.
"Professor Oak?! What are you doing here?! I thought you said that you were too busy to come with us!" Professor Oak was an old man around his fifties. From what Demi remembered, she and her brother studied under him before they graduated and became famous themselves for finding their previous work. He used to have brown hair, and now she could see streaks of gray on it. He still has his old, somewhat wrinkly face like their parents, but he never ceased to amaze them by popping up every now and then. He smiled and shook his head.
"Ah… Demi. I have heard about Amity about your translation and the history of how the first Pokémon arrived to our world. It was very surprising to hear it that I had to call on the other selected professors from other regions. You also should see your nieces; they were very excited on your findings and would not stop talking about it." Professor Oak made a grim face.
"However, when Amity told me about the accident you two were in, I got worried and come here as fast as I could with the others." Hearing from her teacher's mouth, the three adults turned to see two other professors she knew and her other teacher. Sage exclaimed in surprise.
"No way! Elm! Birch! I haven't seen you since our five-year reunion in high school! Where's Ivy? Isn't she supposed to be here too?" Professor Elm was the scrawny young man with glasses and black hair with a slight puff of hair on his head. Birch was the larger man who had the rugged beard and brown hair that reached to his neck. Sage remembered that he, Elm, and Birch were known to be the comical group of Professor Oak's assistances: Sage, the sarcastic one, Elm, the arguing assistance, and Birch, the catalyst of trouble. Elm laughed a bit and rubbed his neck.
"Well… Ivy had some Pokémon issues in the Orange Islands, so she couldn't make it." Suddenly, Amity ran up to them and hugged them both by both arms.
"Birch! Elm! How are you guys?! How's the family? How are Bianca and Colleen? How are the kids? I hope you are treating them right because if not, Demi and I will plan on visiting you with chains and ropes on our shoulders." Both men laughed and patted Amity's head.
"You never change as the younger sister. Of course we are taking good care of them. We heard about your expedition all over the world, and everyone in our labs was amazed by your sudden findings. It's a good thing that you are a klutz to find these much." Amity glared at the two and sulked against the rock, and the researcher who led them tried to make her feel better.
"Professor Demetra." Demi turned to the eldest of the professors, and she held out her hand.
"Professor Rowan. It's an honor to see you again." The eldest professor nodded and grabbed her hand firmly and equally. The professor was very well respected, as he was the teacher of Professor Oak. He may be scary by one glance of his stern eyes, his combed white hair and his combed white beard, but he was a nice guy once you get to know him.
"Likewise. You and your brother accomplished so many things that none of my assistance could have done at this age: your brother recovering the ancient times of battle and fighting, you translating texts and words by one look. I would like to observe this kind of fighting technique someday." Demi smiled nervously.
"My brother and I are still researching about it since this battle is recently discovered and quite dangerous. He is reenacting these techniques, while I record the weaknesses and strengths. We haven't gotten to the part of real battle between two trainers, and I doubt we need trainers today to put this in good use." Rowan nodded.
"I see. I see. I wish you and your brother luck on your finished research. I hope you have gotten well after the little mishap. Estella and Johanna became worried when they heard that the two cousins were in an accident." Demi shook her head and looked at the tablet.
"I'm fine. This little mishap does not hinder me reading one of the most famous historical sites that people will be hearing nor will it kill Sage and me to this extent." Demi didn't hear Rowan's comment when she looked at the next relic. It was just like one of the researchers said; the relic seemed to be an oracle through the writing and the separation of the sentences. She began reading the words from top to bottom, translating it in her head, and finally finished what it said. Not a second soon, she gasped in horror.
"Demi? What's wrong?" Amity asked in worry when she saw her covered her mouth.
No… it couldn't be.
"My dream. It wasn't lying." She muttered out, and Sage and Amity were surprised to hear this.
"Dream? You also have that dream?" Sage asked, and Amity yelped in surprise.
"You too, Sage? And I thought talking to anyone about my dream would label me insane!" All the professors were confused but surprised that all three of them had some sort of dream that could connect to the tablet.
"Professor Demetra. Please explain more clearly about this dream connected to this tablet." Professor Oak asked, and Demi nodded.
"I'll read what's on the tablet before what happened in my dream." She cleared her throat and looked at the beginning of the word, translating them into human language.
"I have something important to tell you, as my life as the Oracle will end.
The relic on the surface was not supposed to be found.
It was hidden away from civilization, away from the eyes of all Pokémon and humans alike because of a terrible entity was sealed in that place.
This seal was to keep it away from the world forever as it weakens, and the demon was supposed to forget that it lived and wanted to destroy the world of humans and Pokémon.
Now, the seal is now broken, and the demon is now free with many of its newborns.
But not all hope is lost.
There are five children out there waiting for their purpose, and they are calling for a greater entity that would save the world from the demon.
They are known to be the five maidens, the Eves of the greater entity, called Mother, and each holds a unique power to awaken their Mother from her slumber.
However, the demons are searching for them too; quickly find them before it's too late.
If anyone has read this, please. I beg of you. Train them to be strong to start their own journey.
And when the time comes, the five maidens and their Mother will end to the demon's terror." Everyone was silent as each person listened to Demi's disturbing translation. The professors and Amity were too disturbed, but they kept their heart rate in check. However, the researchers were in a state of panic.
"D-Demons?"
"That can't be true! That black thing was the demon we stumbled upon?!"
"What are we going to do? We don't know what these demons look like. We shouldn't have find this relic if it was a seal for the demon!"
"Calm down!!" Sage shouted out, and everyone was once silenced again. The Sumerelian man looked at every researcher and each team member with stern eyes.
"Panicking will not solve anything! The relic was found without our knowledge of what was behind it. We have found the relic, and the seal was broken from the very start when we translated the words on the surface. It is no one's fault that any of our history books said that this place was to be not found; nobody even knew that such a place existed until today. Right now, the professors and I will need time to plan a solution, so calm down and return to the surface."
Their team members seemed to calm down and unanimously nodded, following their mentor's orders and trying to get away from the cavern that once contained the demonic entity. Everyone began packing up and walked toward the entrance, but the professors and their guide stayed to discuss what to do.
"So what's the plan, Sage?" Demi asked, not looking at her brother. She was just staring at the tablet before her and tried find anything that would hint what the maidens look like. Sage frowned.
"I can look up on the fighting skills we were researching before. The battles there were close to a thousand years, so maybe we could train our Pokémon and ourselves to find out what's in that battle." Amity raised her hand.
"I'm going look around the regions to find the five girls. If they have parents, we need to ask them and tell them about the situation secretly before they can decide to send the girls to us. Besides, we need to find them as fast as we can before one of them gets hurt." Elm frowned and shook his head.
"It's impossible. We don't know who are these girls or when will they be here; it could be anyone. I suggest that we tell the demon issue to all the people all over the re-"
"It's not going to work." Rowan interrupted.
"If we tell this to all the people, it would be catastrophic. Buildings would be destroyed and burned down, people would go in panic, and a lot of people and Pokémon will get hurt in the process." Oak rubbed his chin and frowned.
"That is a high possibility; we can't afford risking other people's lives including the Pokémon. I would suggest reporting this to the police, medical staffs, Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, the Champions, and previous Champions in the regions to warn them of anything suspicious in the routes, towns, and cities." Birch nodded.
"I agree with Oak. We all need to head back and have a meeting with the other professors, the aides, and the selected authorities." As the professors were discussing, Sage glanced at his elder sister.
"So, what did your dream say?" Demi didn't glance back.
"Same thing as this… but… some things are bugging me. I need to confirm what it was saying." Amity blinked and shouted out, surprising everyone.
"Oh yeah! Demi! Is your head clear?" Everyone looked at Amity like she grew two heads, and the guide twitched at their stares.
"I heard that you were supposed to get some kind of image after you woke up, but you looked like you needed aspirin." On cue, Oak realized what he had forgotten after the little panic.
"I forgot about it. You said that your dream is connected to this prophecy, so what does Amity mean about an image?" Demi closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Give me a few seconds. I need concentration." Yeah. It took her a few seconds to get the same image to pop up, and this time, it was clearer. Demi's eyelids snapped open to reveal surprise. Not only it was clearer, it surprised her… but also scared her. It scared her because she seemed to know who are these maidens her dream was talking about. It scared her because these maidens are the girls she was supposed to be close to.
"Professor Demi?" She didn't hear her mentors or colleagues' questions, as she swiftly turned around and walked in a quick pace down the tunnel.
"I know who are these girls. We need to leave quickly because I have a feeling that their beginnings are not going to start off happy." Nobody questioned her further when they saw the determination, fear, and anticipation in her eyes. Her actions and eyes told more stories than what she said, so they all left the tunnel and the island altogether.
