Alright everyone, just so you know, "Strength of the Heart" will continue, I just wanted to post this first. Also, anything in BOLD and UNDERLINED will be a Pokedex entry, I'll also have which game the entry came from parentheses. One final thing: BOLD dialogue will be telepathy. Now, onto the story, enjoy!

Prologue: The Hero of Truth

Syrus Truesdale slowly walked through the twisting cave of crystals, hoping he was headed in the right direction. Beside him, an adorable pink-and-white fox-like creature was walking with him, one of her ribbons wrapped around his arm tightly, as if for seeking comfort.

Sylveon: The Intertwining Pokémon, and one of the evolved forms of Eevee. Sylveon wraps its ribbonlike feelers around its Trainer's arm because this touch enables it to read its Trainer's feelings. (Pokémon Ultra Moon)

"Sylv-Sylv!" The Fairy-type Eeveelution squeaked in worry, looking up at her Trainer with both fear and concern in her baby-blue eyes.

Syrus looked down at the Sylveon and gave a warm smile. "I know you're nervous Angel, I am too," He cooed gently, stroking the top of her head. "But we need to do this, or else who knows what will happen to the world."

Angel took a deep breath, then nodded with a smile. Syrus smiled as well and resumed walking in what seemed like circles, praying to both Ra and Arceus that they would be able to find the Pokémon they were searching for. The fate of the Pokémon world depended on it.

Out of nowhere, a deep male voice spoke up from all around them. "Do you have the strength to see the Flames of Truth?"

"Wha-" Sy began before the blue crystal around him and Angel suddenly turned bright crimson and shattered under their feet/paws. The two screamed as they plummeted downwards to the cave floor, Syrus holding onto Angel tight to prevent her from getting injured. The two hit the crystal ground (surprisingly unharmed) with a loud thud.

"Ugh! Angel, are you alright?" Sy asked, standing up and gently putting the Sylveon back onto her own paws.

"Sylveon!" Angel replied happily, nodding.

Sy sighed in relief and looked around at the hundreds of huge crimson crystals, but something in the center of it all was what caught his attention: It was some sort of sphere that was glowing a brilliant crimson with a yellow outline, and was hovering a little above the ground. Syrus instantly knew it was what he and Angel were looking for. They had found the Light Stone.

"What is your wish? Your truth?" The Light Stone asked in the same voice as before.

Syrus thought for a moment, then an image of his older brother flashed across his vision. "My truth is to protect the ones closest to my heart," The Ra Yellow Duelist/Trainer explained, putting a hand on his heart. "To keep them safe when they aren't able to defend themselves, even if it means putting my own life at risk. If they need me, I'll be there to help protect them!"

Just then, flames erupted from the Light Stone as it was encased in a blinding white light, causing Syrus and Angel to over their eyes. The flames swirled around them as the blinding light grew bigger with each second, seeming to take a certain shape. As the light receded, Syrus and his Sylveon lowered their arms/forelegs to see what happened, and they saw a huge pure white furry dragon with a flowing mane uncurling itself from its ball position. The dragon opened its eyes, revealing them to be a brilliant shade of sapphire blue.

"PRYAAAAAAAAA!" Reshiram roared as it shot its head towards Syrus, seeming to be glad to be awake after so many years of slumber. The flames around them dissipated when the roar came to an end.

Reshiram: The Vast White Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon can scorch the world with fire. It helps those who want to build a world of truth. (Pokémon X)

"It is your courage...that shall become truth." Reshiram told him in a wise voice. Syrus smiled, knowing that with Reshiram and his other Pokémon, he'd be able to protect the ones closest to him from now on.

"Yo Syrus, wake up!"

"WAAAH!" Syrus let out a cry of surprise at the sound of Jaden Yuki's voice. He jumped up and tumbled off of his bed in the Ra Yellow Dorms, falling flat on his rear end with a soft thump.

"Jay, what did you do that for!?" Syrus demanded, standing up and playfully glaring at his best friend. "You nearly scared me half to death!"

The Slifer Red Duelist laughed. "Sorry Sy, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out at the Slifer Dorms with me since we don't have classes today." He paused and added. "By the way, you were also muttering in your sleep."

"Oh! What was I saying?" Sy asked, slightly afraid at what he had revealed. He had never told his friends about his adventures in the Pokémon world, knowing that they would never believe him, calling him crazy. Worst of all, he had to leave all of his Pokémon behind in order to keep them safe, and it broke his heart everyday to know they were gone.

"Something about the 'Flames of Truth'," Jay responded. "So, what is that?"

Syrus gave a nervous laugh. "Oh, that's just the title of a song I overheard Atticus singing one time. That's all." He explained a little too quickly.

Jaden narrowed his eyes for a moment, but then grinned and said. "Alrighty then I'll see you at the Slifer Dorms!" With that, he ran out of Syrus' rom and towards his dorm, leaving Sy very confused and drained.

The Ra Yellow Duelist the laughed and shook his head. "I'll be sure to tell the others of my adventures some day," He promised to himself. "But right now, I'm gonna try and enjoy life as a Duelist."

After getting dressed, Syrus rand after Jaden and yelled. "Aw man, wait up Jay!"

Please feel free to review if you wish, it really helps me on what yo think of my writing.

Yup, I gave Syrus my favorite legendary Pokémon, but some of the others will catch legendary and/or Mythical Pokémon as well. Also, does anyone have any ideas for Chazz's team, I have everyone else planned out except for him. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

Before I go, here are the nicknames for Syrus' other Pokémon for you to guess what they are (since you already know Angel and Yin[Reshiram]): Anubis, CyberEnd, Royal, and Stella.

Anyway, see you in Chapter 1.
