1 CHAPTER 1 – Introduction

The sky was dark and black, the winds were slowly picking up as Trevor ran through the forest.

"This storm is starting to pick up" Trevor thought, he knew he had to get home before the storm got too strong.

Trevor was a small boy, around 8 years old, his dream was to become a Pokemon trainer as soon as he got old enough and he couldn't wait for that day. Trevor continued to run through the forest when a feeling crept over him, he knew someone, or something was watching him. He stopped and looked around a bit, noticing nothing. He continued to run again.

In the shadows of the forest lurked a mysterious figure, watch Trevor closely and carefully, almost like it was studying him. Trevor was near the end of the forest now, and almost at the town he lived in. The figure began to creep up on Trevor without him expecting anything. Once again, Trevor got that same feeling, it was a feeling of emptiness that was watching him, he stopped and looked around again, still nothing. He turned back around and screamed. The figure was in front of him, it took a swipe at Trevor and grabbed him, taking him away into the cover of the storm.

The sunlight from the morning sun was starting to rise as the three friends slowly woke up. Brock was already awake and making breakfast while Misty and Ash slowly made their way towards the fire that Brock was using to cook on. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's lap when he sat back down into the grass.

"Hi Pikachu!" Ash said enthusiastically.

"Pika!" Pikachu replied as a good morning hello.

"Ash…shouldn't we be heading towards Vertric City soon? I mean, there is a Gym there and you have been wanting to battle there for the Black Island Gym badges to enter the tournament here" questioned Misty.

"That's right," replied Ash..

"This is going to be the first gym on the Black Islands that we'll be going to." He continued.

"Ash, just remember, these are one of the toughest Gym badge sets to earn. The Black Island Gyms are as easy as they seem, many trainers don't make it into the tournament." mentioned Brock.

"Well, I'm going to try my hardest to make it into the league." Ash said excitedly. The trio went back on the path towards Vertric City and continued their journey.

"There they are!" said James through the binoculars,

"Pikachu is with them too!" he said once again.

"Good, this gives us the perfect chance to try to catch him" Jesse replied.

"Are we going to use our secret weapon?" Meowth asked.

"Yes, lets get them now" James told Meowth.

All three members of Team Rocket climbed into their secret weapon, which was a gigantic tank with a net launcher equipped to it. They started it up and rolled towards Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu.

The ground shook under the rolling of the tank that Team Rocket was using. Misty noticed it first.

"Ash, Brock, the ground is shaking, can you guys feeling that?" Misty said

"Yeah, your right Misty, it is shaking but from what?" Brock said questionably.

The three looked around and noticed the tank.

"What is that?" Ash said looking curiously.

The tank stopped and Team Rocket popped out.

"We want that Pikachu!" James shouted.

"You guys again? Don't you ever get tired of losing?" Misty yelled at them.

"We haven't lost, we just haven't found anyway that will work" Jesse replied to Misty.

"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled towards Pikachu.

Pikachu jumped up and did Thunderbolt on the tank, which shocked Team Rocket inside. The tank then exploded and launched Team Rocket away from Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu.

"Looks like team rocket is blasting off again!" They shouted.

They went into the town, it was full of people walking everywhere, and it was a extremely large town. They began walking throughout the streets looking for the nearest Pokemon Center, they noticed one down the street and hurried to it to get their pokemon rested from battles that they've had before they had gotten to the city. Hurrying inside the Pokemon Center, Brock spotted Nurse Joy.

"Hi Nurse Joy!" Brock said happily.

"Hi kids" she said back.

"Need to heal your pokemon of an injuries?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Actually, we do Nurse Joy, here" Ash replied to Nurse Joy as he handed her his pokeballs.

A while later they began to head towards the gym, but had no direct idea of where the gym was. They saw someone walking by so asked them and were told to go towards the northern mountains at the top of the city. Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu started their hike towards the gym, it took them around an hour to get there, but they finally did get to where they wanted. They looked at the gym, it was in rubble.

"What happened here?" Ash yelled in anger.

A man replied "The gym was hit by a storm a few weeks ago, and it will be rebuilt soon."

Misty asked "Was everyone ok?"

The man replied once more "Yes, no one was hurt, everyone got out safely."

"How long until it gets rebuilt?" Ash asked enthusiastically

"A few weeks, around that, shouldn't be too long," the man said.

They walked back towards town but came along a house. The house was tall and was almost like a small mansion. They went up to the door and knocked loudly. A woman came to the door and opened it. She just stared right at Ash and broke down crying.



Ash asked "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem?".

"Come in and I'll tell you over a cup of tea" she said.

All four of them came inside and sat down.

"Well.." she said taking a sip of her tea.

"To this very day, ten long years ago, I had a son named Trevor, he was out in the forest when a strong storm hit, he was only eight years old and I'm positive he got caught in the storm and…died." She said sadly.

"I'm sorry" Misty said in apology.

"Its ok, when I opened the door and looked at this young child" She said pointing to Ash, "He reminded me of Trevor".

"Well, I'm sure you kids are heading back to the city, I will leave you on your way" She said once more.

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu thanked her for the tea and left for the city again. They headed back towards the city and got to it. They looked at the time and decided it was getting late. They decided to find a hotel to spend the night in and to give their pokemon a stretch. They found a hotel and order a room for the three of them. They all went straight to the hotel room and let out their pokemon for a stretch before they went to bed. It was around 9:52pm and Ash didn't plan on getting up late tomorrow, he was going to get up early, eat and head straight for the next island. Misty turned on the television to see if there were any warnings for the boat ride for the next island. A reporter appeared on screen to talk about the weather conditions tomorrow and Misty called Ash, Brock and Pikachu in.

"The weather forecast for tomorrow is going to be heavy thunderstorms which means that there will be no ferries going off or on the island to the next following island. Close your windows and have some candles ready, because this is going to be one powerful storm." Misty turned off the television

"Looks like we won't be leaving till the day after tomorrow" Misty said

"I can't wait till then!" Ash yelled.

It was 10:22pm and they all decided to get rest for tomorrow, because you never know what could be in store for the following day.

The sun brightly shone through the window waking everyone up. It was a bit cloudy, but more or less sunny out. It was around 8am.

Ash commented "Its not going to rain it, its too sunny for that"

"Ash, if the people on the television say its going to rain, then odds are, it'll rain" replied Brock.

"Well, lets eat and we'll see if its possible to get a boat ride off the island" Misty said quietly.

All four of them including Pikachu headed down towards the restaurant on the lower floor. They got a four-seated table and Pikachu sat in a seat quietly. Everyone order something, and ordered extra incase they got hungry along the way to the next island. They ate while Ash exclaimed how great of a Pokemon Master he'd be when he wins the tournament. The finished their meal and headed outside.

The sky was dark and cloudy and it was pouring rain and lighting was going off everywhere.

"Those people on television are never wrong" Brock said proudly.

They knew they couldn't stay at the hotel and decided to pay that woman they met the day before a visit and see if they could stay with her the day. They picked up newspapers and started to run towards that woman's house. They came along the house and it was in a deep pile of rubble.

"Oh my god! What happened?!" Misty screamed in horror.

"It looks like the wind took down the house" Brock explained. They saw a young man over by the rubble. They slowly walked over to him,

"Excuse me, did you see what happened?" Brock questioned him.

"Yes, I was over by the exit of the forest and I saw the winds knock the house down, and I ran over here to see if my mom was ok, and I can't find her." The man replied sadly.

"Your mother? By any chance, is your name Trevor?" Ash asked.

"Yes, it is, why?" Trevor replied.

Ash and the others had a slightly pale look on their face as they remembered the woman said her son had died.

"Where have you been the last ten years?" Misty asked him

"I've been at home with my mom on this island" he replied.

But that's impossible Ash thought to himself, that woman said he died ten years ago and she never saw him again..

"So, your saying, that you're Trevor, and the person who was in the house when it collapsed was your mother?" Brock asked.

"That's right, who else's son would I be?" He asked.

The three looked at each other for answers, and none said anything.

"How old are you?" Misty asked politely.

"I'm 18" Trevor said.

This really spooked them out, how could a person just disappear and be assumed as dead, and reappear and be assumed as alive?

Brock spoke out "We'll head back to town and get help".

They headed back to town in a confused state of mind. They got to the police center and asked for help. Officer Jenny appeared and Ash said

"Excuse me, a house on the trail to the gym on this island collapsed and someone is trapped inside. Could you send some people up there?"

Officer Jenny looked confused "I'm sorry, but there are no houses on the route to the gym, there never has been." She said to them.

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu became even more confused.

"You mean, that was we saw, never happened? It all seemed so real" Ash said while being confused,

"Sorry kids, but I don't appreciate kids trying to trick me or prank me, now please leave until you have a real emergency" Officer Jenny said once more angrily.

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu wondering what had happened, first, they head to the gym and find it destroy by a storm, then they head back to the city and find the house and go inside and hear a story. Now, a storm tears down the house and they're told it never existed! Something wrong is happing here, but there's no idea of what it could be.

They once again decided to get another room at the hotel and watched TV again finding out that the storm will be gone for tomorrow and they can get a boat ride to the next island. They decided that they should go to sleep early once again so they could wake up for one of the early boat rides..

The sun broke the night sky and shone through the window waking up Ash.

Huh? I wonder what time it is.. Ash glanced to his right and looked closely at the digital clock, it read 5:52am. Ash rolled back over and tried to go back to sleep. A few seconds later Brock woke up, got up from the bed and headed towards the bathroom for a shower. Ash fell back asleep as Misty started to get up out of bed and was ready for some breakfast, she glanced towards Ash and thought He is asleep, I have to wake him up soon so we can get on our way towards the boat before it gets filled.

A few minutes passed and Ash still hadn't woken up, Brock was out of the shower and dressed. Misty got fed up waiting for Ash to wake up and walked up to him while shouting at him

"Ash! Wake Up Now!" Ash quickly woke up and jumped off the bed.

"Misty! I was trying to sleep, what time is it anyways?" Ash said while glancing towards the clock again, it read 6:23am. He'd only have been asleep around ½ an hour.

"Ash, we have to leave now for the boat, it'll leave at 7am and it will take us around 30 minutes to get there" Brock said quickly.

"Alright, lets go" Ash replied with Pikachu on his shoulder.

All four of them quickly headed out of the hotel and went straight for the ferries.
