Hello! Alright then, nice to meet you everyone! Before you start, I would like to talk about a bit about this fic. Well, first, like the summary says, it is based on manga!verse and contains soulsilvershipping and mangaquestshipping. Of course, I can't put everything on the summary, so here is some other important points. To start with, this occurs post HGSS events. Secondly, certain concepts of this story are sightly based on Shin Megami Tensei's concept. I will point them out as they appear. Also, this fic is focused on adventure/action/suspense. Yes, it has romance, but it isn't the main focus of the story ^^" And for the last, this is my first fanfic, so I will gladly welcome any reviews or critiques! No flamming though, please! Thank you very much and enjoy the reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of its characters.
It was a clear day in Johto. There were just a few clouds and the sun was shining brightly on the sky. Maybe it was a little too hot. Of course, for most people, that was not a problem. However, to those who had to do heavy work on such day, such a thing could be pretty tiring.
That morning, Victory Road was close for maintenance. It was part from the routine. On a place full of caves and battles, it was necessary to be sure that no accidents would occur, like ceilings cave in, or crumbling grounds. Even being a maze-like area full of dangerous creatures ready to attack trainers at any moment, these people still had the obligation to have a minimal amount of safety.
"It's that time of the month again, eh? They could pick up a better day, though. I'm sweating like a pig!"
"No kidding, with all the times we have to come here, they could automatically let us fight the Elite Four even without any badges. I mean, I can already go through the whole place without a map!
Two workers laughed together, as they kept chatting through all the loud noise that echoed through the cave. They didn't have to worry about wild pokemon either, once the strong smell of repel was enough to even make a common, unprepared person back away.
"Hey, how about we hit the bar after we finish the job? My throat is begging for some bee-huh?" The man stopped as he found a hole through the rock wall he was taking care of. Turning to his colleagues, he called them. "Hey! There is something here!"
It didn't take too much time to, with the help of everyone, find a huge, hidden passage that would take to a lower, dark level of the cave, as if it was a completely new and undiscovered branch.
"What should we do?" One of the men asked, rather hesitant. "I wasn't taught on how to deal with situations like these!"
"Don't worry." The group's boss approached. He was much older, and obviously much more experienced than the others. "Well, in the case of dealing with any unresearched information, be it a new pokemon, a new ore, or even a new area, we have just to report our discovery. Resume the work and forget about this place, I will take care of it."
Unsure of what else to do, but to follow their chief's others, the group went back to the maintenance. Meanwhile, the older man picked up his pokegear and selected Professor Elm among his contacts.
"Now let's see...I'm sure he will be rather excited with this."
