~*~*~*~Story #1: Violet City's Demise~*~*~*~

A/N: I don't own anything in this story except the cloaked dude, Markus, and me, Morgan. I'm hoping to make this a series, that's why this is story 1. I hope you like it…

            Falkner looked up.

"Huh? What do you want? I'm closing now. You have to leave." He growled.

"I realize that, but could you take the time to talk?"

            "What? What do you mean? You ARE kidding, right? I don't believe you." Falkner sat down, staring in disbelief. The young man who stood in front of him sighed.

"Falkner, I apologize. You don't have to believe me if you don't want, but what WILL you believe?"  Markus, the young man in a black cloak said. He looked down at Falkner.

"I DO believe it's not true, that's what I'll believe. This can't happen! There's no reason for it. None at all." Falkner slowly shook his head.

            "Good-Bye honey! I'll miss you! Please call often! Come visit!" Falkner's mother, tears running down her face, waved goodbye to her beloved gym leader.

"Don't look back. If you do, you'll want to stay. You can't do that." Falkner reminded himself. He sighed. "All this has to be a bad dream." He said. Of course he didn't believe that, but what else could he think? His gym was closing down and he was being forced out of his own town. His mother would be alone, no husband, no son. "Aw man… I miss it already…" He sighed again. He sat down, leaned against a tree, and fell asleep.

"Uhmm… Sir? Sir, wake up please? SIR!?" A girl screaming at Falkner awakened him.

"Hu-What? What? What do you want?" Falkner bolted awake. A girl with dark purple hair highlighted with red stood in front of him, kneeling down. She had a jet black Persian next to her. It yawned and glared at him, but he just ignored it. "What'd I do this time?" Fully awake, Falkner looked at her.

"Uhmm… Nothing. You look familiar, yet you couldn't be who I think you are."

"That depends." Falkner got up and looked down at her and her Persian. He held out his hand to help her up. "I'm Falkner, former gym leader of Violet City. And you are?" He asked. The girl took his hand, stood up and shook it tightly.

"I'm Morgan. Morgan Grainjer. So you ARE who I thought you were! But what do you mean 'former'?" She asked, releasing his hand. He sighed.

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, Violet City Gym is closing its doors forever."

"But why would you want to do that?"

"I don't but I don't have a choice. I loved that gym. Sure it was a lot of work but it was worth it."

"But then why are you out here?"

"The same reason my gym is closing. I was forced to shut it down and leave Violet City. After 10 years. I've barely been anywhere else! What am I supposed to do?" He sighed, and slid back down to the ground.

"Uhmm… Mr. Falkner? Sir? I could always show you around… I mean, it's not like I've JUST started my adventure. It's been 4 years. I just made it to Johto a few days ago. I know my way around." Morgan smiled nervously.

"Well I…"

"What's there to lose? You can trust me Mr. Falk-"

"Please, just Falkner. I'm not worthy of a title."

"Uhmm… Okay. You can trust me Falkner. There's nothing I can or would do to a gym leader!" Morgan smiled at him. He thought for a moment, then smiled back.

"Well I guess I could stay with you for a little while… That is… If you don't mind.."

"Mind? Why would I mind? Let's go." And they headed off to Azalea Town.

Well how was it? Weird ending, I know. I WILL write another chapter after ~3~ reviews. It will be about Bugsy, Falkner, and me. (Iz this a spoiler?) Falkner's gunna get a call from Violet City (cell phone… Oooh.) and Bugsy is gunna meet his best friend… Again… Please R&R!!
