by Quincieevee

A year had passed since the Rebellion of Instinct and all the Pokemon Go teams are at peace. As Quinci struggles to control her firebending, nobody seems to forgive Raichu, the leader of Team Instinct. Meanwhile, Pichu receives mysterious visions about a villain named The Guy. Can Pichu decipher these visions before it's too late? Or will this villain rise from the ashes once more?

1. Prologue: The Cringe Begins

AN: This part is cringy and probably not accurate at all. But I am bored and I don't know what else to do... READ AT UR OWN RISK! lol. Okay, so this is book 4, meaning there are 3 parts before this one. READ THOSE ONES THEY ARE BETTER! Except part 1. That was also cringy. But book 2 was good. Book 3 was awsum. And book 5 is the best. Honestly, the only reason you should read this is to read book 5, coz that one is the best ever! Spoilers: WE SAIL ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN IN A GIANT RUBBER DUCKY! YEAHHHHH!

If you want to read books 1-3, just search up the "Rebellion of Instinct." (PS: Book 2 is published under Shellyeevee, not me).

Prologue: The Cringe Begins

The sky was raging with fits of lightning and thunder. It was, without a doubt, one of the worst storms of recorded history. Raindrops thrummed against the side of the window. Cumulonimbus clouds crowded the sky making it look like one big stratus cloud, but a stratus would never hold that potential. Winds tossed the trees back and forth, threatening to fall, yet they held on. Wet leaves crowded the roads making it almost impossible to drive on, if anyone would dare to. The lightning revealed a small boy, not any older than an elementary schooler, looking up at the sky. Was it with rage? Or was it with pain? Finally, there was a break in the storm as the sun shone through. A rainbow revealed itself as sunlight hit the falling raindrops. The storm eased up a bit.

The Guy opened an ultra ball and out flew a dragonite. He mounted himself on it and commanded, "Dragonite! Fly toward the edge of the rainbow as fast as you can!"

The dragonite obeyed and took off flying. The Guy glanced at the sky nervously. The break was passing, and the rainbow was starting to fade.

"Faster!" The Guy shouted over the howling wind. Dragonite beat his wings and zoomed through the sky at about 386.920562 miles per hour. He clutched his hat as it flopped around in the wind and rain. Raindrops flew at him almost horizontal. Leaves smacked against his face, leaving cuts worse than papercuts. The Guy felt like he was about to fly off.

Finally, they made it and he found the rainbow entrance. He looked down at the floor, his red and white pokeball colored hat hiding his eyes as he entered the rainbow-lit cave.

It was full of colors reaching to every part of the cave. In the center, though, there was a giant flaming red bird sleeping, chest steadily rising and falling. It had plumes of gold on its head and tail, and its wings were tinged with white and green. At the sound of The Guy's approach, the red bird looked up curiously.

"Who are you?" the bird asked. "And how did you get here?"

"I am known as The Guy. I got here by going through the rainbow," The Guy answered. His expression was unchanging, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Why are you here?" the bird questioned, more cautiously.

"I am here to capture the legendaries. You, Ho-oh, will be my very first."

"You will never have me!" Ho-oh bellowed, making the cave tremble. "Not if I can help it!"

The Guy pulled out his Pokeballs, revealing a vaporeon CP 3856, gyarados CP 5837, and a lapras CP 10,836.

"Vaporeon!" The Guy commanded. "Use Water Pulse! Then dodge. Then use water gun and Hydro Pump!"

As vaporeon was attacking, The Guy said, "Gyarados! Use Dragontail! Then Outrage and dodge! Then use Hydro Pump! Lapras! Dodge and use Ice Beam! Then use Water Gun and dodge!"

Ho-oh was overwhelmed by attacks. He dodged the Water Pulse but got hit by the Dragontail. Exactly 0.5 seconds after, he got hit by Ice Beam. The attacks kept coming like Ho-oh was trapped underwater in the ocean and the waves kept throwing him lower and lower. Finally, Ho-oh recovered and used Solar Beam on vaporeon. The Guy reacted too late and vaporeon was blasted with the full force. Vaporeon fainted. Two more to go, Ho-oh thought and used Fire Blast on lapras. Laperas dodged and used Hydro Pump. The Guy was still shouting out commands to his Pokemon.

Ho-oh used Extrasensory on gyarados (who dodged) just as lapras used Ice Beam. Ho-oh was thrown to the floor just as lapras and gyarados used Hydro Pump and Blizzard. The two attacks hit him so forcefully, he started losing consciousness.

The last thing he saw was a blurry purple ball hurtling toward him. Ho-oh let himself be lifted into the air as if some sort of magnet was pulling him into the ball. He let it close on him as he drifted into darkness he knew he would never escape.
