A hero needs a team to guide her.

A team she will lead through darkness.

Three Pokemon to help her unravel

The mysteries of a great evil.

Star…such a first name begs a Pokemon with a fiery passion to match. That Pokemon is Arcanine.

Brooke…A calming, soothing name like a running river…The Pokemon to match this name is Milotic.

Stone…strong, resilient, lasting. A Pokemon with a hide to match its will is needed for this name. That Pokemon is…Onix.

Star, take heed. You will face terrible danger. You must train yourself. You must be ready.

Star stood on a floating platform. The platform was surrounded only by darkness. Suddenly, small shadows appeared on the floor of the platform. They erupted from the ground, and took the form of small four-legged buglike creatures. Their glowing yellow eyes seemed to taunt her as their wide mouths smiled, emitting a horrible shrieking laughter.

Star jumped back in surprise. They were closing in on her. Suddenly, three Pokeballs materialized on her belt. She pulled them all off and released the Pokemon.

"CANINE!!!"

"MILOOOO!"

"CHROOAAAH!"

Milotic, Onix, and Arcanine! What luck! She had some sweet Pokemon. She was about to tell them what to do when they began tearing apart at the little shadows.

Your friends do not respond to the commands of your voice. They respond to the commands of your heart. Keep your heart in the light, and the path will show you the way.

Light shining from seemingly out of nowhere showed a stairwell that lead up to another platform. Star knew what to do. She began to run up the stairwell, with Arcanine, Milotic, and Onix jumping in front of her, taking out little shadow creatures in her way.

She made it up to the next platform. She was looking around as a large shadow creature, larger than any of the others, appeared and began swiping its large hands at her. In its chest was a hole…it had the shape of a heart. She jumped out of the way of the swipe, and her Pokemon began attacking it.

Your friends cannot win this battle alone. You'll need to help them.

A sword appeared in her hands, and she immediately knew what she was supposed to use it for. She began attacking the shadow creature, until finally she cut it open, and it fell, spewing shadow onto the floor.

Just when you may think you have found the light, the shadow grows stronger.

The shadow engulfing the floor began to draw her into the platform, and her Pokemon disappeared. She struggled, but the shadow was like quicksand. She couldn't escape. She was up to her head, when suddenly…

But don't be afraid.

Within the darkness lies a stronger light. In every heart there is the power to hold back the darkness. You just need to know how to reach it.

Star fell into the darkness.
