The Mystery of Pokérus
Prologue
My story begins when I captured a Victini. This Victini was infected with Pokérus, yet I did not know it at the time. Ever since it was added to my team, the rest of my team was battling much more aggressively, skilled, yet very controlled. I was against letting anyone find out that I owned a Victini for fear of its wellbeing, but I began to worry that this Victini was doing something sinister to my team. I decided that if I could not find the cause and cure for whatever was happening to my team, I would ask Professor Cedric Juniper and his daughter Professor Aurea Juniper if they could shed some light upon this subject.
I then began to search desperately over my home region of Unova for answers, but to no avail. I then traveled to Canalave City in Sinnoh, because I heard its library had the best knowledge on legends, myths, and past events, both good and bad, that had ties with Pokémon. It also had the best team of Pokémon medical doctors for several decades, leaving all of their findings within many medical journals. Arriving in Canalave City, I deposited all my Pokémon within my PC, except my Luxray, who was my first Pokémon. The only reason he stayed with me and Victini was because he wasn't affected by the infection that afflicted the rest of my team. I assumed as he was as powerful as he could be, he could have become a carrier. I specifically told both Professor Junipers to keep the team isolated from the rest of my Pokémon at all times. I then began my search through the entire Canalave Library, and I even resorted to using Luxray's Gleam Eyes to find any secret passages, or search in case I had overlooked any books that could helped. After a week of searching the entire library, I was sure that there was not a book in the entire city that could help me.
I had some underground contacts in the Sinnoh region that might be able to point me in the right direction, and, luckily for me, did not ask many questions. Some of these took a little bit more, "persuading" than others, but in the end, I heard that a similar event took place in the Orre region, involving the closing of a Pokémon's heart, although it never spread to other Pokémon, and the Pokémon with the closed hearts could only use 2 shadow moves, and 2 regular moves that it knew before its heart was closed (For more information, read up on the shadow Pokémon event and/or play Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness). I then had to find a way to get to the Orre region, as many did not know its location, and it has never been a very big tourist attraction for anyone besides Pokémon breeders, researchers, and professors, due to its lack of wild Pokémon. When most people hear about the Orre region's lack of Pokémon, they lose interest immediately. The ones who are interested in seeing the region, and studying the cause of the lack of Pokémon are discouraged when they hear that there are very few ways to reach Orre.
But I'm not most people. I felt that the Orre region had the key to my problems, and although my friends tried to talk me out of the idea of going to the Orre region, I was not to be discouraged.
I left the next week i found out about the Orre region and arrived in Gaten Port, which is where my story begins.
