Silver Moon Phoenix: Now I get to start my Pokemon Colosseum story that I've been dying to start! Oh, and my friend, Lady Jupiter will be co-producing.

Lady Jupiter: I'm not even a registered author!

Silver Moon Phoenix: Some things you all must notice is that I will use the pokemon that I used for throughout the game.

Lady Jupiter: I will do the disclaimer: Silver Moon Phoenix doesn't own Pokemon whatsoever, but the ideas for her story belong to her.

Silver Moon Phoenix: Let's begin with the prologue. Enjoy!

Prologue: The Mysterious Dream

Some things are not what they appear…

The boy kept running in the rain whilst his sandy-blond hair was drenched with water. He didn't know why he was running, but he was somehow compelled to keep going. His blue trench coat billowed as he kept on running from shadows that were approaching closer and closer.

Why am I being chased? The boy thought.

He stopped abruptly, realizing how futile it was and knowing he would be caught sooner or later. The shadows also paused as the boy overlooked it with terror in his eyes. He saw his two pokemon companions were within those very shadows and were engulfed in it. A few seconds later they emerged, but were no longer themselves. The boy dropped to his knees as he stared into their glowing red eyes and was even astonished that they took an even sinister form. He only wanted to wake from this nightmare...

"That dream…" The boy gasped, rising from his sleeping bag. His yellow eyes were in total shock as he noticed he was in a cold sweat. His trusted partners, Espeon and Umbreon, stirred from their sleep by the campfire.

The boy rested his head in his sleeping bag as he stared into the starry night. He noticed it was a full moon, and that was when his strange dreams occurred. The desert felt cool in the Orre Region, and the two pokemon fell back to sleep. The boy had tanned skin for being in the sun most of the time and he had a white stripe across his face.

"I've been having this dream ever since I joined Team Snagem, and I can't even remember my past!" the boy said.

A few years back, Team Snagem found him wandering the desert alone and nearly close to death. For some reason their leader, Gonzap, took an interest in him and brought the child back to the hideout. The young boy revealed his name to be Wes and he hadn't any recollections of how he began to wander around the harsh deserts of Orre.

Frankly the Orre region wasn't a very nice place to live in. Unlike the lush regions of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, Orre was surrounded by desert and had few towns that could barely retain peace with what little police force they had. Even finding wild pokemon here wasn't as easy as finding them in the other regions. Most of the time trainers were the only ones who had pokemon and thus created problems for them. Team Snagem was always looking forward to stealing new pokemon from these trainers, though their methods of doing so have become advanced with the use of technology they obtained.

Wes joined Team Snagem because he didn't have any home to go and his amnesia had prevented him from remembering his past. He knew traveling all over Orre to seek anything that might trigger something deep in his mind would be helpful which was another reason he joined. Since Team Snagem had started to move into the other regions, Wes had to go along and find out where he had come from.

He always had his Espeon and Umbreon by his side as long as he could recall and they helped him through many of the tough times he was put through. He did had to meet the demands of his boss who wasn't always pleased whenever Wes came back not having finished with what he was asked to do. Many of the Snagem members known about Wes' skill as a Snagger, and he seemed cold-hearted the day he became one. That was what made Gonzap very proud of him from the day he saw him.

"Someday I will remember my past." Wes said softly as he fell asleep, preparing himself for tomorrow's objective. He was unsure if it was the right choice to make.

As morning dawned, Wes woke up as did his Espeon and Umbreon. He raised the two well and he was happy he did a wonderful job. Espeon's purple coat was beautiful and its red gem on its forehead shined brightly in the sun. Umbreon's glimmering black coat was just as attractive as Espeon's and its glowing, yellow rings were impressive. These two pokemon were always his friends from the beginning. They were probably his only friends since he didn't get along with the other Snagem members or associated with Orre's trainers.

"Well, it's almost time." Wes replied as he put on his blue trench coat. He then covered his eyes with a pair of silver visors.

He got on his motorbike, and Espeon and Umbreon climbed into the sidecar. Wes turned on the machine as he drove to his destination: Team Snagem's Hideout. The wind blew his sandy-blond hair as he crossed the hot desert. Suddenly he heard screeching as they approached the canyon and that very sound was familiar to him. It was Gonzap's Skarmory who was probably patrolling the area as usual. Wes ignored the bird and proceeded onward.

I don't know why I'm doing this but my instincts tell me it's the right thing to do. Wes thought as he stopped nearby the hideout.

"Umbreon, you come with me." Wes ordered. "Sorry Espeon, but you have to wait."

Espeon laid comfortably in the sidecar as Umbreon jumped out. Wes and Umbreon continued walking to the hideout. They made sure that no one spotted them. Wes carried two black boxes in his arms as Umbreon watched for any suspicious activity. They finally arrived at the Snagem Hideout as they walked with caution.

"The Snag Machine should be around here…" Wes pondered as he walked towards the west side of the hideout.

He made sure none of the Snagem members seen him as he left one of the black boxes by the wall of a particular room. He and Umbreon stood back as he pressed the button on a small remote. The wall blasted away and Wes ran over to the demolished room. Umbreon took the other black box and placed it inside a close by room. Wes looked around the room for a certain item he seek. He found it on a metal mannequin and reached out for the portable Snag Machine off its holder. He had on his silver visors to avoid any debris in his eyes. Grinning evilly, Wes was pleased his plan was working.

This time he had to make sure he got rid of the larger Snag Machines as well. He planted a smaller bomb on one of them and ran off.

"Let's go!" He ordered as he and Umbreon hurried back to the speeder.

Wes knew Gonzap would be furious and he was more than right. Gonzap and several Snagem members ran out of the hideout as Gonzap saw Wes and Umbreon run off with the Snag Machine.

"Get Wes immediately!" Gonzap commanded, but Wes already jumped on his motorbike as Espeon waited for Umbreon to get on.

Wes started up his vehicle and took out his remote. He pushed the button as the bombs blew up and destroyed the hideout. He escaped safely as he got out of the canyon and back to the desert.

"I just took my first step that I hope will lead me to traces of my hidden past," Wes said. "I know Team Snagem will be after the Snag Machine but I want to know who is behind this Shadow Pokemon Plan."

He remembered overhearing a private conversation that Gonzap had with an anonymous person. Apparently what they were discussing made him upset. The very pokemon he was catching were being used for some evil purposes and he especially didn't like the idea of being replaced by machines who could capture more pokemon than the amount one Snagger could. Wes completely opposed the idea in which resulted having him come up with a plan. Surely he couldn't let Gonzap know of his intentions after earning his trust for the years he worked for him.

The dim-witted oaf, as Wes liked to call Gonzap, wasn't very aware of the plan because of that trust. He had carefully made sure he had all he needed, especially mentioning he was leaving on a mission somewhere in Orre so no one had any suspicions. Boy, was Team Snagem in for a big surprise that morning.

The trio's next destination was the Outskirt Stand, a once-abandoned train, which had now become a restaurant for weary travelers. Wes may have reduced the mighty Snagem Hideout to rubble, but he was sure that his adventure was just beginning.

Silver Moon Phoenix: There's my story.

Lady Jupiter: I have one question, where did you come up with this idea?

Silver Moon Phoenix: When I was playing the game, and I hope everyone who read this to review!

Lady Jupiter: If you read this prologue without reviewing, then you are a thief, a common thief!

Silver Moon Phoenix: Sorry for my friend's behavior, she loves watching that episode of The Simpsons.
