Hey, PerfectPhoenix here, yet again. This time, I'm going to write a new Pokemon story that I'm going to keep up with this time. If you read the summary, cool. Now, here's the story.

Chapter 1

The Mysterious Person

Dawn's POV

"Piplup! PIPLUP!" I heard my Starter Pokemon call out and then sharp needle-like pains hit my face several times. I woke up and accidently shoved Piplup off my bed. He jumped right back up and yipped at me again. I shook my head awake and looked out the window. The room swayed a bit as I got up. It was clear that I was on a ship, and I remembered that I was going to the Kanto region.

It was yesterday that I decided to go on a new journey. I didn't want to go on my own just yet, and there was the one person I wanted to ask. It was the boy I fell in love with after he left a year back. It was Ash Ketchum. I wanted to tour the Kanto region to try something new: gym battles. Well, it was going to be a new experience for me, and it would really help my abilities as a Coordinator. I only brought my Piplup, Buneary, and Togekiss. I always brought Piplup along with me whenever I took a journey. Buneary really wanted to see Pikachu again, and Togekiss I brought in case I needed a Pokemon who can fly.

I just had to see Ash again. I wanted to see if he wanted to come with me throughout the Kanto region. He helped me several times, and I wanted to see if he would join me again. Either that, or I could try to find Brock. I haven't heard from him in so long though. Sure, I heard from Ash but not from Brock. He wants to be a Pokemon doctor, and a good one since Happiny evolved into a Chansey. From Ash's messages, he was back in his hometown, Pewter City, but for a while. I could probably go see him again when I go there.

I walked around the ship, almost enjoying the nice breeze that blew through. I just wish that he was with me. I just couldn't get him to leave my mind at all. I just hope in Kanto, he can join me like he did before. A journey together again would be fantastic. I might even encounter my cousin in Kanto again. It's been several years since I've seen him last too.

As the ship continued on, my thoughts also wondered about my previous journey with Ash. It was when we stopped Team Galactic from controlling the two Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia. Our adventure saved the Sinnoh region. I do want to let him join, but saving the world was pretty amazing. If only we could do it again.

The ferry finally came to a stop at Vermillion City. It was the only town that took ships from the Sinnoh region all the way here. I got off with the rest of the crowd, knowing that my Pokemon were safely in their PokeBalls right inside my bag. Of course, I was being careful with my stuff. You can't really trust a lot of people these days. It was natural being in a completely different region from Sinnoh.

Vermillion City was sort of a crowded place to be exact. It was a port town just like Canalave City, only even more crowded. There were a lot of vendors selling all kinds of nice-looking trinkets and items. I didn't have that much PokeMoney on me at the moment, so I couldn't buy anything. Maybe later on in my journey, I can buy something for my mom when I come back.

As soon as I received directions from the Pokemon Center, I was already on my way. I had to go through a route into Saffron City, then to Cerluean City, and then stop by Pewter City. I could see Brock if he was home. Second to last on my stops is Viridian City, so that I could see how Ambipom is doing. I haven't seen her since I gave her to Mr. Sho. I bet Ambipom is having a lot of fun there at the Pokemon Ping-Pong Center.

The route was pretty quiet as I walked by. The breeze blew through nicely and the Pokemon in the air were having fun and enjoying their life. I took a break against a shady tree and let out my Pokemon for the fresh air too. Things were nice as I continued to think about Ash. He was here somewhere in the Kanto region, right in Pallet Town. It was just a couple days. What else could happen with my plan to reunite with my love?

I wished I knew what was going to happen next.

?'s POV

This took place in a different world, and this world was completely desolate. Everything looked completely burned down. Building debris were everywhere. Nothing seemed to live except for five different figures searching through the ruins. They seemed pretty determined. Just hiding in the corner out of their sights was another figure, but surrounding him were eight different colored spheres. They were glowing faintly in order to not reveal his position. This figure was a male, and he looked pretty injured. There was a lot of dried blood on his clothes, and some of it was still dripping. This boy looked extremely exhausted. He hasn't slept in a long time because of these five, and the survival of this world depended on him.

His body was deprived of energy. The only thing that drove him was his willpower and drive to survive. As he barely moved, he snapped a twig and the attention centered on him. They all aimed their palms and different energies blasted out and struck the ground, causing the ground to explode and to send the injured one back. One of the dark figures appeared suddenly appeared and sent an elbow in his direction. The boy saw this at the corner of his eye and he was able to deflect the attack by pushing it straight down. He even set up a counter by slamming his knee into the attacker's face. The boy now dashed off away from them. The eight spheres now began to glow brightly, but they were crackling with energy. He looked at the eight that surrounded him as the five figures chased after him.

"No, don't let him get away with the Power Orbs!" One of them exclaimed. The injured boy closed his eyes. He wasn't going to escape easily.

"You think I'll let you take these? I won't allow you too!" The boy yelled.

"Don't be a fool, Mikee. You cannot escape!" The tallest one declared as the five surrounded the one called Mikee. He grunted as the Power Orbs began to glow brightly.

"No, never! I will regret this, but…" Mikee muttered as he floated up. The Power Orbs continued to shine even brighter and the five figures were blinded. Two of them took advantage of this and lunged at Mikee. In a bigger flash, the three of them vanished, leaving the other three to themselves.

"So, he's used Shadow Warp to go to a different dimension. How cliché." One of them said to the taller one, who was leader of the group.

"Well, we'll have to follow if we are to conquer the rest of this world. We need those Power Orbs, and it looks like Maya and Indigo followed in his warp field. Isaac, Aaron, gather your strength, and report this to the Shadow King and Queen. I'll trace his point and recover Maya and Indigo. Go." The leader ordered. The other two nodded and vanished within a shadowy energy.

The leader looked onto the point where Mikee warped and shook his head.

Brother, resistance is futile. You cannot stop the Horde all by yourself. What can you do when everyone you once knew here in Brawl is long gone? The leader thought and focused energies.

Mikee and the two others were going through a beautiful tunnel of blue light, but it wasn't peaceful as all three were trying to fight each other. With a well-aimed kick, Mikee kicked off the male one in the face. He fell off yelling as he vanished into the field. This gave the female the chance for the Power Orbs, but Mikee saw this and slammed her back.

"You'll have to get through me first, Maya!" Mikee declared and held his arm in his recent injuries.

"Hah, that will be so easy, just like how I killed Dawn, remember?" Maya reminded him, and Mikee gasped at the mention of his closest friend. He remembered her during the battle, and she was covered in flames by this exact girl in front of him. Nothing remained after, and that made him furious. His fists clenched as Mikee's body was beginning to glow a blood red color.

Maya smiled slightly. Perfect… She thought.

Dawn's POV (Pokemon)

It was really calm and peaceful on Route 6, as I learned it's name from the map I was given. I was just studying the map when it happened. All the Pokemon were beginning to flee from the forest, as if they were all scared of something. I got up in a hurry to see Piplup, Buneary, and Togekiss. They were frightened as well.

"Guys, what's wrong?" I asked. Piplup pointed to the sky and chirped pretty quickly. I glanced up and then I saw it. There was a portal forming in the sky just above the forest. It shone in eight different colors like a rainbow, but there was a sort of blood red lightning crackling around the edge. There was a huge roar and then eight shining lights flew away in different directions. I couldn't see them anymore.

Suddenly, fire erupted from the portal, and the roar bellowed in pain. It was loud enough to shake everything around us. I returned my Pokemon except for Piplup because of the fires. One of the flames began to set a part of the forest on fire. I had to hurry and help the Pokemon.

"Piplup, use Whirlpool!" I yelled. Piplup nodded and formed a huge whirlpool of water. He threw it and the flames were extinguished. I sighed in relief and the portal shot out a red creature. I watched as he fell down and crashed into the forest. It made the ground shake again. It was enough to make me fall onto the ground. Piplup dashed toward me, making sure I was okay.

"I'm fine Piplup, but what about that thing?" I asked as I got back up to approach it. Just as I caught a small glimpse, more fire erupted from the portal as it closed. This time, a flaming girl came through it, and she was flying. Piplup and I were both shocked to see someone flying and on fire without getting burned. She looked at me and then at the crater where that red creature crashed. Her right arm had flames and they intensified as she threw a fireball into the crater, causing a huge wave of fire. It was approaching us, and I had to take Piplup to the ground. The flames passed harmlessly above us, but it ignited more trees. Piplup got back up and powered up Hydro Pump, but the girl suddenly appeared and unleashed flames.

"PIPLUP!" I cried out as Piplup couldn't resist.

"Piplup! Hurry and use Whirlpool on her!" I yelled. He nodded and extinguished the flames by throwing water everywhere and surrounded the girl in it. She stood there and blew away all the water with some kind of force.

"Is that all you got?" She taunted, her flames burning brighter.

To be honest, this was scary, and completely out of the air as things became grim. She came to us, and we couldn't do anything. I held onto Piplup as she came closer.

Suddenly, she was gone, as there was a boy there with his hand held out. He looked hurt badly, as his clothes were torn and he was bleeding too. The boy looked at me and then collapsed on the ground.

Well, there we go, the first chapter in Guardian of Dawn. I hope you guys like it so far.

Read, review, and all that jazz.
