Chapter 1Old Faces Sprout a New!

I've been looking for…

Oh how I've been giving blood away

Something is tugging at my tongue

A name

I could go on but…

You told me once

Timing is everything

And now

Everything you told me is gone

-Traverser: Vericose

It's been fifteen years since Team Typhoon taken over in the Johto and Kanto regions. They have disbanded with some of the members arrested and others living different lives within the regions. Even though we lived in a peace for this long, having families and working in different parts of the Pokemon World, event ravled to the new region, what little did we know, a new syndicate has formed and is targeting us and will do anything to control us.

In Sandgem Town, Professor Marty Howl was telling the new trainers about Pokemon and the things they need for their journey into the Sinnoh Region.

"Now, here's your Pokeballs and Pokedexes, good luck on your journeys you three." He said.

"Thank you Professor Howl!" they exclaimed and left with their PokeMon.

"Do you think they will be all right?" his assistant asked.

"Of course! They will find this region pretty exciting once they get into the contests and gyms!" Professor Howl answered.

"Well, it's that we think a new team is starting trouble again."

"You mean Plasma? That police squad in the Unova Region? TThey got arrested three years ago!"

"Not quite, here." The assistant said and handed him the newest newspaper.

He read it, "Rumors said to believe that a new syndicate formed by former Typhoon members have appeared in the Cinnabar Islands and have been to different regions looking for new members, Witnesses said to believe that this new team use mind control devices on their members to keep their memories from rising and keep their faces hidden."

"Sounds rough, huh?" the assistant asked.

Professor Howl nodded and said, "I better head home, if any more trainers come by, take care of them!"

"Right!"

Professor Howl left the lab and headed home.

Meanwhile in Celeste Town, Geraldine McLane, Geri for short, was getting things ready for her trip with her family to Slateport City in Hoen where her grandparents on her father's, Rusty, side of the family.

"All right, that's last of the Poffins we need for my and my brother's PokeMon." She said as she took the parcel from the lady.

"Have a nice trip Geri, fly saflying bback home!" the lady exclaimed.

"I will!" Geri exclaimed.

She took a Pokeball out and yelled, "Go Wings!"

Her Swaillow came out and she got onto it and it flew off and headed for Solaceon Town.

When she landed, her younger brother, Tyler, 15, was in the look out tower of their home looking through the telescope that Rusty and Eliza built for them. He ran out to welcome her.

"Welcome back sis!" he exclaimed.

"Thank you! Any contact from our youngest brother?" she asked.

"No, not yet, he just started and probably heading for Jubilife now." He answered.

"Never thought Dustin would start today of all days when we're about to go on vacation." Geri said.

"No kidding, did you get the poffins? You know my Rapidash loves the spicy kind." Tyler said.

"Yeah, I know and got the sweet ones for Sparkle and the bitter ones for Sparkplug." She told him and looked at the veggie ones. "And of course Hibbiscus hers."

Hi there, I'm Geraldine, I am 17 years old and this is my brother Tyler! Our brother Dustin has gone off on his very first journey to go through our home region of Sinnoh. WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD BE BORN TO TWO OF THE HEROES FROM YEARS AGO AND NOW WE"RE LIVING IN A PEACEFUL TIME AND ABLE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT NO PROBLEMS! But little did we know is that the winds are about to change for us and I have a bad feeling about it.

Back in Sandgem, Marty got back home and found his wife and two sets of twins in the living room.

"Good! You're safe!" he exclaimed.

"What do you mean dad?" Sierra, one of the twin girls, asked.

"Look, you need to head for your great grandmother's!" he answered.

"What do you mean by that?" Harper asked.

"No time to explain but I need you five to leave town!" he exclaimed.

"What about you dad?" Tommy asked.

"I don't know, but get out of here!" Marty exclaimed as he went upstairs and took the gun he had saved for years.

"Mom, is dad okay?" Samantha asked her.

"Not sure, but we should leave if there's a prob-.."

They heard glass break.

"What was that?" Vinny asked.

Shedinja use hypnosis!"

They saw a ninja looking Pokemon appear and put them asleep.

Marty finished loading his gun and then heard sounds downstairs and went down to find his family asleep.

"Harper! Tommy! Vinny! Sierra! Samantha!"

He felt something shock him in the back of the neck and he went down.

"Finally found you, Martin Howl! Alice will be pleased!" a girl's voice said. "Now take him."

Two guys in visors and tuxes appeared and picked up the knocked out Marty and took him away.

The girl called Alice on her PokeGear and said, "It's a success!"

"Good! Looks like we got him pretty easily! Good job Saiyori!" Alice exclaimed.

"Thank you!"

"Now, I'm hoping that the others will have luck in getting the other Region Heroes!" Alice exclaimed and hung up.

Saiyori nodded in silence.

In Vermillion, a boy that looked like Ike was running down the streets chasing a wild Meowth.

"Get back here!" one of his friends exclaimed.

The Meowth threw money at it.

"Hey! Pay Day!" one of them exclaimed.

"Not now Curtis!" one of the other boys exclaimed.

The Meowth climbed a high tree.

"Damn! It got up the same tree as it always does!"

"Well, it's not escaping today!" the Ike look alike exclaimed and started to climb.

"Wait Robbie, didn't your dad tell you not to chase the Meowth up this tree?"

"Like he cares! All he cares about is my sister who works for the new Professor Oak in Pallet!" Robbie exclaimed and kept on climbing.

He reached to the top and found the Meowth eating the fish that it stole from a fisherman earlier.

"Gotcha!" he exclaimed and grabbed it.

The Meowth started to struggle and it caused Robbie to fall and he yelled, "Fierce come out!"

His Fearow came out and caught him.

The Meowth bit him and he held on as Fierce flew him to safety.

"I told you I would get him!" he exclaimed and gave the same grin as his father.

"Robert Terrance!" they heard and they saw a Jolteon and a guy with long, dirty blonde hair pulled back into a braid. He also wore a fedora with yellow feathers, a long coat with lightning energy symbols, a yellow shirt with a black tie and a Pokeball clip on it and light slacks. "I thought I told you not to climb that tree! You know it's dangerous!"

"But dad, I had to catch this Meowth that has been terrifying the city!" he exclaimed and looked down at the cat Pokemon, which was purring in his arms.

"Looks like it's comfortable in your arms." One of the boys said.

"Whatever the case, you also know that we were having a new trainer coming in today and study my movements!" Ike exclaimed.

"Crap! That was today?"

His dad nodded and said, "Yes it was! After the exhibition, you're grounded! Come on! Your mother's worried!"

They watched him go.

"Man, for a former syndicate leader, he became a tight ass!" one of the boys said.

"Whatever, I guess I will see you guys later when I'm not grounded." Robert said and left still holding the Meowth.

"See ya!"

"Come on Fierce!"

Robert managed to catch the Meowth in a PokeBall and went to sit and watch the exhibition match of his dad versing a trainer. When it was done and the badge awarded to the trainer, they went to the house part of the gym where Ike's doctor was wating for him to get his leg looked at.

Robert explained about how he got the bite on his arm and Cecilia gave him the same speech like his dad did and they got a call on the PokeGear from Maritza.

"Hey there! Was wondering how the new baby was doing!"

Cecilia looked at the newborn in its cradle.

"It's doing alright, it turned out to be a boy."

"Congratulations! Any news from Jo Ann?" Maritza asked.

"She's still working with Oak's son in Pallet and enjoying it so far."

Robert sighed.

"Hey cheer up! You will be working there with your sister!" one of the trainers said.

He sighed and went upstairs to his room and plopped onto his bed.

"I don't get why I have to go through this crap?" he asked.

Suddenly, the window glass shattered and he screamed.

Ike heard it and he ran upstairs and found his son fending off a sword with his twin blades.

"I don't know who you are, but you're messing with the wrong person!"

Ike noticed that the person attacking wore a syndicate uniform with a flower symbol badge.

Whatthehell?Anewsyndicate?He thought to himself.

Author's Commentary

Hey guys! I am back! And this time writing a story about the kids of my characters. The thing was I decided on doing a time skip story for my Pokemon fic since it would be right to do so! And to the person who brought me her character Alice, be glad I brought her back and this time a more interesting role!

And can't forget, I don't own any of the Pokemon nor the ideas of the Pokemon franchise! All I own are the characters except for Alice and the gym leaders and any other familiar characters you know and love from the original series! I'm just a fic writer!

Finally! The lyrics above are from a local band I know called Traverser! It's from a new song they did called "Vericose." A bit of back story, they're a progressive alternative/metal band that have a unique sound and sets when they perform. For more info, you can visit their page at /traverserband to listen to the full song and hear other great songs! See ya!
