CHAPTER 1+

We begin our story with two trainers battling.

"Now Typhlosion, ember!" cried out Tai, a boy with really short cropped red hair and baggy blue jeans.

"Jump out of the way and use water gun Delcatty," cried out Jerry, a girl with very long and beautiful purple hair and short shorts.

"No way! Dodge it!" cried Tai as his small Torchic quit shooting fire and ran. Too little too late though, and Torchic got blasted by the jet of ice-cold water. " Return Typhlosion!"

Jerry bowed deeply and exuberantly. "Guess I showed you this time, huh?"

Tai walked over and shook her hand. Though they had battled many times before he had never lost to her even once. " Good job Jerry! When did you teach it Water gun?"

"Back in Littleroot, that weird guy professor Elm gave the TM to me."

" Good choice anyways. What now?" he asked.

"Let's move on."

" To where exactly? Huh? We've beaten Hoenn, Johto, the Orange Islands ,and the Kanto Leagues," He said exasperatedly. Where will we go now?"

Just then a huge Skarmory landed right between them and dropped a package from it's mouth. "What the hell?" Jerry yelled. The Skarmory took flight and was gone.

Tai ran forward. "Let's see what it is."

They both approached it and Tai grabbed it. The package was thin like a letter but very wide. They both looked at each other. Their names were both on the front of the package.

To: four time Pokemon Masters Tai and Jerry.

Just outside Littleroot

From: Mr. E Us

"Mr. E US?" Tai asked.

" No idiot mysterious," The purple headed trainer corrected " He's trying to be funny."

Tai opened the package and two disks fell out about the size of a quarter, one pink, one orange. Jerry grabbed the pink one and Tai the other. "There's a letter too."

Dear Tai and Jerry

You have been selected, along with all other currently powerful trainers, to come to Mystery Island off of Johto's coast. You will find there a challenge as never before seen. For more info use your disks at the nearest PC.

Mr. E Us

"Shall we check it out?" Jerry asked

"Sure."

They both pulled out their matching Tailows and flew to Littleroot. They gave their Pokemon to the nearest Chansey and headed to the PCs. They popped in their discs and a mans face greeted them.

" Hello, my name is Eugene Us and yes my initials spell mysterious. Now as you know all trainers have many Pokemon. And many have a variety. But now I want these trainers to show they can be great with just one Pokemon. And to top it off, only one of the original 150 Pokemon. In addition you must leave all of your current Pokemon behind. Now if want you, if you agree to join, to wear your new mystery badge and you will be collected soon."

"What Badge?" Tai asked, and the disks popped out glowed and turned into purple and red badges matching their hair colors. "Oh"

"Are you going to do this?"

He said "Yeah, you?" She had a different view.

"Are you crazy? Did you hear what he said? I could never leave my Pokemon behind! I mean what kind of trainer do you think I am?"

"He said he was going to test us with training only one Pokemon. Maybe we will get to get one later or something." he said as they walked outside.

"I don't care, OK? Anyone who wants me to leave my Pokemon is crazy."

Just then a very large pidgeot landed and, after spotting tai's red badge, very clearly said " If your coming to Mystery Island Tai let's go."

" So soon." He said

"Are you really going?" She thought about all the time they had spent together. They had gotten their starter Pokemon together. Traveled the length of the world. Spent every second of almost seven years with one another. "What will I do while your gone? What will I do without my best friend?"

" Now's your chance to open that beauty parlor for Pokemon!" He exclaimed. " Talk to your mom. Get some of your money and start. You know you want to."

"I'm going to miss you so much!" she said hugging him fiercely.

" I know but I gotta go." He said as she started to cry anime style. He got on top of the pidgeot. "Take my Pokemon to my mom's?"

"Yeah man I got you covered." She smiled meekly as she watched the majestic bird lift into the air and fly away.
