Zycron Shade stepped off the boat to his childhood home of Littleroot. He had heard of the hardships his younger brother, Zed, had to deal with in this region, called Johto by the locals. His mother had came with him to see that the house was still there, and spent one night there, seeing Zycron off on his journey. He had decided, for his brothers sake, to save this region from the evils that now inhabited it. He had thought them disbanded, but he heard from Zed that Team Rocket was back. there was also a strange person that Zed merely called Arget, a word from the Inheritance Cycle series they both liked to read meaning Silver.

Zycron started by visiting his old friend Professor Elm. He was a bit surprised when Lyra's Marill greeted him. From what Zed had told him, Lyra had saved his life.

Lyra came up to him after saying "Hey! You look awfully familiar, do you know Zed? I told him to keep me updated."

Zycron, surprised by the recognition, replied with, "Yes. I know Zed, he is my younger brother. My name is Zycron, and by that Marill following you around, you must be Lyra."

Lyra then said, "Yes I am. Nice to meet you, Brother of Zed." She held out her hand, which Zycron shook.

Afterwards, he met the Guide Gent he remembered from his childhood. They exchanged stories of their adventures over a cup of tea. It turns out Gent knew that Zed was Zycron's younger brother, and decided to help him out by giving him the map card. Chico, the Chicorita that Elm had given Zycron, smiled at these words.

This is the end of the first chapter of Zycron's quest for vengeance. He will continue to investigate these rumors of Team Rocket coming back after so long, as well as this mysterious Arget.
