Pokémon NightFall Chronicles
Chapter 1- Strange Umbreon

Note: 'poke talk'

Kyoto Forest, Paradise Isle
10:53 PM

'Hey! Guys, wait up!'

An eevee came running out of bushes into a clearing with an abra and a hoot-hoot. They were all wearing the same type of knapsack around their necks.

'You guys are too fast. Slow down', the eevee panted.

'Look Hiro, if you're going hang out with us you're going to have to be a lot faster than
that', the abra replied.

'But it's not fair! Jin you can teleport, and Rudy can fly!' Hiro complained.

'He does have a point Jin', Rudy the hoot-hoot explained.

'Ugh, fine we will slow down. But once you evolve you are going to have to be a lot
faster, okay?' Jin asked.

'Yup Yup!'

'Then let's head out'

As they continued to move forward though, it wasn't long before someone's stomach to start growling. Rudy and Jin both looked at the six year old behind them. Hiro sweat dropped,'He he, sorry I haven't eaten since this morning.'

'Hiro... Fine we will take a break but we need to get back as soon as possible. We won't become the greatest explorers if we are just sitting around all day! TO THE SECRET BASE!'

'Yeah!' both Hiro and Rudy cheered.

They reached the small opening that they called the secret base. It was a small part of the forest that had assorted berry bushes and trees to make itself a secluded area. They all sat down and emptied their knapsacks which had a few berries and some apples. 'Rule number 5: Always come prepared', Rudy exclaimed. They laughed and ate most of their food in a few minutes. 'Remember to restock and save some of it for later. We don't need anyone
complaining later', Jin explained.

'Yes sir!' Rudy and Hiro said together.

They packed the rest in Jin's knapsack and started to move out. Climbing and rushing though the forest the trio started to get to parts they didn't recognize. Of course this did not stop them from going any farther into the unknown because this fueled their desire to explore. But once they got to a certain part of this unknown path, Hiro immediately noticed a weird scent in the air. 'Umm... Guys?'

'What your still hungry Hiro?' Rudy teased

'No. There's a weird scent in the air.' At this, they all immediately got on alert. Jin then whispered questions for Hiro.

'Okay Hiro, you have the best sense of smell on the team, what does it smell like?'

'Um, it kind of smells like a human but then it smells more like a pokemon.'

'So it's a trainer with its pokemon then?'

'No no', Hiro shook his head,' the scent is coming from the same thing.'

'So the thing is has a human and pokemon scent?!'

'Yeah it's weird.'

'I know. How far is it?'

'Not that far away. It's coming from that direction'

Jin then tapped Rudy and pointed up and Rudy flew up in the air as silently as he could.
After a while of waiting, they heard Rudy's signal which was a small hoot, and they headed over in that direction. They got to a clearing in which Rudy was standing next to a black creature. It was wearing an over-sized white tee-shirt, black shorts, and a black and yellow bracelet on its right fore leg. It also had some yellow markings on its head, ears and the side of its legs.

'It's an umbreon', Jin noted.

'You mean the dark evolution of me?' Hiro asked.
Jin nodded.

'Cool. Do you think it's friendly?'
Jin smacked Hiro in the back of the head. 'Focus. We don't even know what it is. You said it smelled like a human too, right? Well this could be a human trick.'

'Jin. Look', Rudy pointed at the umbreon,' Aren't the ears supposed to be bigger. And he looks a small for an umbreon.' Rudy's feathers brushed up against the umbreon's nose which caused the umbreon to get up and sneeze. The umbreon looked around and saw that no one was there. In a nearby tree, Jin was silently scolding the hoothoot.

'Look what you did. You woke him up! You're lucky I was able to teleport all of us up here.'

'I know, sorry', Rudy apologetically smiled.

'He seems like a normal umbreon, let's go introduce ourselves', Hiro said with a smile.

Jin smacked Hiro again,' If it's so normal why is it wearing human clothes?'

'Hiro, the umbreon gives me a weird vibe too. I don't think he...' Rudy began to say.

'Oh you guys are just being mean. I am ganna go say hi', Hiro said as he began to leap from his branch.

'Hiro! No!' Jin went to go catch him but ended up falling down on Hiro. In response, the small umbreon got up in shock and started to cower back.

Jin got up in rage. 'Look at what you did now you just blew our cover' Jin yelled at the eevee who was still dazed from the fall. Jin was going to continue his loud outburst but
Rudy came down from his branch and knocked down the furious abra. At this the umbreon's fear was washed away by a wave of laughter.

"Hahahaha!" The small umbreon was bursting out in a giggle fit, "You're funny."

'OH! How about you come over here and I will show you how funny this really is!'

'Jin, Calm down'

Jin was flailing wildly while Rudy was holding him back. Hiro was just staring at the umbreon. 'How did you do that', he asked. Everyone looked confused.

The umbreon's giggles were starting to fade and he finally asked, "Do what?"

Jin and Rudy finally caught what Hiro was talking about. The umbreon was speaking clear Human!

Jin and Rudy yelled in surprise,' He Talked!' The umbreon got up on his hind legs, pointed at Rudy and Jin and then looked at Hiro," What did they say?"

This got Jin furious,' Am I not speaking loud enough!? Well how bout I get a little...' Jin started to charge but
Rudy got in front of him, ' Jin calm down'. Hiro then started to think. It was pretty obvious that the umbreon was more than close enough to hear Jin.

Hiro asked,' How could you not hear him?'

"Um, I could hear him, I just can't really understand most of what they say", was the umbreon's response.

This left the others very confused. 'What do you mean you can't understand?'

"I just can't. I could only understand a few words."

'So you're saying that you can only fully understand me?' Hiro asked.

"Yup!" the umbreon smiled.

Rudy then made a statement,' Hiro, you said he smelt like a human too right? Son maybe he's a cross between the two. He is probably both human and pokemon!'

The abra spoke up,' That's bogus! I never heard of anything like that!'

'So when something mysterious that you don't know about comes up on one of our explorations, you're going to say it doesn't exist?' Rudy asked. Jin twitched at the response and then looked at Hiro,' Ask him some questions.'

Hiro nodded then looked at the peculiar umbreon,' What's your name?'

"Name?"

'You know, what do they call you? I'm Hiro so who are you?'

The umbreon shrugged," I don't know"

'How could he not know!?', Jin's anger was starting to boil again.

Hiro continued,' Do you know your age or where you came from?'

"Nope", the umbreon answered with a smile.

The three sweat-dropped.' Do you at least know what you were doing before you knocked out?'

"Nope"

Jin's frustration was reaching its peak and he knew it, 'Huddle up'

The three formed a little circle. 'It seems as if he doesn't know anything! All he probably knows as of the moment is instinctive. That's if this isn't some sort of human trap. And on top of that it he can only understand Hiro. My mom is out by the beach so we can't go ask her anything about him.'

'Hey! How about...', Hiro began before he was interrupted by the sound of a stomach growling. Rudy and Jin stared at the eevee. 'I promise that wasn't me this time'

They then stared at the umbreon behind them who was holding his stomach. "Ha-ha my tummy is kind of hurting."

Jin sighed and undid his knapsack and handed an apple to the umbreon. He tasted it then completely devoured it.

'He seems to like apples', Jin said.

'So Hiro, continue?' Rudy asked.

'Oh yeah, why don't we take him to my mom?', Hiro asked. Jin and Rudy looked at each other
and then at Hiro.

'Are you serious? Your mom is so scary! Besides what do you think she will do to us once she knows we were out this far! I can't believe you actually suggested that', Jin exclaimed.

'She's not that scary', Hiro lied. He knew pretty well what she was like when she got
angry. 'Come on we have to find out who this umbreon is.'

'Fine', they said, gloomy.

'Hey, umbreon! Come with me. We are going to take to go see my mom' Hiro said.

"Okay! Um... where did the other two go?", the umbreon asked. Hiro turned around and
found out that the other two were missing. 'They left me!', Hiro said with a shocked voice.

"Why did they leave?"

'Oh they are just little crying babies.'

"Wha?"

'Come on, we have a long way to go.'

"Okay!"

They followed a path that eventually led to a river. They then proceeded to head up the
side of the rushing waters. The scenery was amazing, especially at this time of night because there were no other pokemon running around. The silent wind had made the scene seem so peaceful but it wasn't long before the umbreon broke the silence.

"Where are we going?"

'We are going to my family's cave. It shouldn't be that long now.'

"Why are we going there?"

'Well, we need help figuring out what exactly you are. You see, you aren't exactly a normal pokemon. You talk human, smell like a human, you're wearing human clothing and you also walk like one of them. You also don't know where you came from or even who you are. Hopefully my mom will have some information on you. By the way, what is that on your foreleg?'

The umbreon stared at the strange object on his arm for a while," I don't know"

Hiro sighed, 'Of course you don't. Come on we are getting close to home.'

The river started to bend and they came up to a big cave.

'Well this is it. Be careful of what you say though, my mom can be a little scary.'

"Um, okay." They went in and inside there was a glaceon on a sleeping bag in the corner of
the cave. Hiro went over and patted it,' Mama, we have a visitor'.

Hiro's mom stretched out and yawned,' Oh who is it?' The glaceon took a sniff of the air and got into a battle stance. 'Human!?'

'Well not exactly, ma', Hiro replied shyly. The glaceon then saw the strange creature behind her son and got a good look at the umbreon.

'Well he's definitely not normal'. She walked up to the umbreon and asked,' What's your name sweetie?' The Umbreon replied in a small smile," I don't know".

The glaceon jumped and looked at Hiro surprised to hear that the umbreon spoke Human. 'Ma, let me explain. My friends and I were exploring again and we ...', Hiro was cut off again by a growling stomach. He looked at the umbreon and asked,' Again? You just ate!'

"Ha-ha sorry. My tummy just likes a lot of food", the umbreon responded, clutching his stomach. Hiro's mom went over to a small bag and brought it to the umbreon.

'Here, there are some apples inside. We get most of our stuff from humans that leave stuff lying around', she told him but he didn't hear most of what she said. Once she said apples he dug into the bag and started eating all the apples. "Apples, apples", he sung. Hiro's mom stared at him,' Looks like he really loves apples'.

'Yeah he does. We found him knocked out and he doesn't know anything about himself. He doesn't even know his name or age and he can only understand us apparently', Hiro continued.

'Doesn't know his name or age? That's interesting. Seems like he has amnesia to me. As for his age, he can't be any much older than you.'

'How do you know?'

'Well, for an umbreon, he is incredibly small even on his hind legs. His ears and tail are also shorter than other umbreon. He even acts like you sometimes.'

'Do you know anything about a pokemon like him?'

The glaceon shook her head,' I never came across someone like him before. Maybe your father will. Okay we can't keep on calling him 'him'. Sweetie, since you don't know your name can I give you one?'

'MA! You just can't give a ...', Hiro began.

The glaceon looked at him with an evil smile,' You have an objection?' The poor eevee backed away slowly,' No mama'

'Good, now how bout it sweetie?' The glaceon asked again. The umbreon nodded and replied with a mouth full of apple,"Um-Hm"

'Okay how about Shadow?' Hiro's mom suggested. Hiro asked,' Why Shadow?'

'Well I think that name fits well with an umbreon considering the dark type.'

"Shadow?", the new-named umbreon said to himself. "Okay! Hiro, I don't know why you said your mom is scary, she seems nice."

'Hm... Scary, huh?', she asked Hiro with an evil voice and cold stare. Hiro started to sweat and let out a weak laugh,' Ha-ha I don't know what he's talking about'. A new scent came into the air and Hiro seized this chance to change the subject,' Hey, isn't that dad's scent?'

'Oh yes, I guess he's coming back from his stroll with the girls. I think they went to the Celestial Lake to go see Mindy's new powers', Hiro's mom explained.

"Mindy?", Shadow asked.

'Oh yeah that's right you don't know much about my family. Mindy is my older sister who just evolved; she's an espeon and she always likes to show off. I have three younger sisters that are eevees just like me. There are Ariel and Amber who are twins and then there is the youngest and she is Maria. My dad is a leafeon who likes to go on strolls a lot', Hiro explained.

"Oh so what is Celestial Lake?"

'It's an awesome place to go to relax. It's not too far from here and they say there's a legend behind it. According to legend, the Ancients used to visit the lake and it would overlook a cave that is hidden within the lake itself. But we haven't really seen any Ancient or seen any existence of cave either.'

"Ancient?"

'Yup, they are one of a kind pokemon that live in the universe. Now be ready to introduce yourself, here comes my dad.'

A voice came from outside,' Grace we are home!'

Hiro's mom called out,' Marshal! We have a guest!'

A leafeon came into the cave accompanied by a few eevee and an espeon. The leafeon named Marshal was pretty goofy looking. The fur around his neck was pretty fluffy and the leaves on him were a dark green. He also had silly smile that gave him a very friendly looking appearance. The eevee behind him seemed to be ordinary looking. The espeon is the back seemed to share the same characteristic as the father in the fact that she was fluffy looking. When the family came in the eevee and espeon were shocked to see an umbreon who stood on its hind legs. The leafeon took a different approach to the situation.

Marshal the leafeon sang,' So this is our guest? What is your name little mister?'

Shadow answered," My name is Shadow, nice to meet ya!"

The five that had just come in jumped. Hiro sighed,' Here we go again'.

After a while of explaining about Shadow, Mindy asked a question that made the two parents jump,' Shadow, would you like to show me some of your moves?'

"Moves?", Shadow asked, confused.

'You know your abilities?'

Grace snapped at her,' He doesn't know who he used to be and you want to fight him?' Mindy explained her action,' Well according to Hiro, he only knows instinctive stuff so I thought by fighting him and getting him to use his abilities would jog his memory.'

Marshal was trying to calm down Grace down and managed to say,' That would be a good idea but not right now, it is getting late. We should all get some rest. Shadow since you don't have anywhere to go why don't you stay with us tonight?' Shadow smiled," Okay!"

Marshal smiled back,' Okay then, you are going to sleep with Hiro on his sleeping bag over there. We will be over here if you need anything. Goodnight, don't let the spinarak bite.'

'Come on Shadow! It's over here!' Hiro quickly nudged Shadow over to his bed and they both laid down. 'Good night Shadow. Hopefully a good night's rest will help you remember who you are.'

Shadow laughed," Hopefully you're right Heh". He closed his eyes and was quickly drifted to sleep. On the other side of the cave Grace and Marshal were talking.

'So you don't know anything about someone like him?', Grace asked.

'No, but I will ask around tomorrow. He seems to be getting along with Hiro pretty well, don't you think?' Marshal replied. Grace smiled,' Yeah, they are going to be best friends when they get older. Oh by the way do you know why Hiro thinks I am scary?'

This all happened because I wanted to defy fate

He was in a Vast Place and there were people with white coats everywhere. He wasn't afraid. He knew these people. They were….. His friends? No. He never met them. So what was this feeling? As he walked around he began to notice everything getting dark. The shadows were beginning to creep up on him. He tried to run but his leg was caught. People started to fade away and the Vast Place was being enveloped in the darkness. Then a sharp pain spread across his body.

But now, because of what I did in the past …

He tried to yell for help but there was a felling in him that told him not to. They… they would find them if he did… Them? He began to cry silently hoping that whatever he was hiding from would not find him.

I am sorry, but I will make sure you ….

The darkness was drowning him. It seemed like he was falling into a never-ending abyss. Then from nowhere a voice came out of nowhere calling out his name. 'Shadow? Shadow wake up!'

Hiro kept on repeating,' Shadow wake up! Wake up!', but the umbreon kept on tossing and turning. It was dawn and Shadow kept on squirming around. Mindy heard Hiro and woke up with an annoyed voice,' Why are you so loud?'

'Mindy, you got to help Shadow! He's having a bad dream.'

Mindy got up and went over to the fidgety pokemon. 'Well, there only one way to pull him out of his nightmare. Hiro cover your ears, this might get loud', Mindy told him. Hiro ducked down and covered his ears while Mindy drew her head back. Then she drove her head down to head butt Shadow.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Shadow sprang up and started running in circles clutching his head," Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow!"

The rest of the family got up to the noisy child. Marshal asked,' Is it morning yet?'.

Hiro answered,' No, well kid of. It's just that Shadow was having a bad dream and I asked
Mindy to wake him up for me'. Grace then asked Shadow,' What was the dream about?'.

Shadow finally calmed down and sat down still rubbing his injury," I- I don't remember, I just know that it hurt. It really, really hurt."

'Well then, Mindy?'

'It's no use; his type makes it more than difficult to see into his mind and I am not that skilled. Maybe we could take him to see Auntie Yuri'

Marshal started to stretch,' Well it seems like there isn't much of a point to look into that matter if nothing could be done about it. So while it's still morning lets go out and forge some food.'

Everyone then proceeded to get up and headed out in groups with knapsacks. Mindy went with Maria, Grace went with Amber, Marshal went with Ariel and the boys went with each other. Hiro led the way to his team's secret base. The area was always stocked with fresh fruits and berries that seemed to always grow there. They started to stock up on food until they came to a large tree with red berries on it. Shadow picked out a berry and took a bite out of it. His eyes became wide and devoured the berry. "Thesh aur show tshty!", Shadow exclaimed while devouring as many berries as he could.

'Hahaha those are called Lansat berries. According to dad, they are super rare but I usually find them in our secret bases. Hey, don't eat too much or you're going to get a stomach ache', Hiro explained.

"I know but they are so yummy!"

'So his name is Shadow now?', a voice came from behind them. Shocked by the sudden presence, Hiro turned to find Jin and Rudy sitting down eating berries.

'Hey guys! What are you doing up so early?', Hiro asked.

'Well there was loud screaming and it practically woke up the whole forest', Jin answered.

Hiro fell silent and Shadow asked, "Loud what?"

Hiro turned and told him,' Nothing, anyways you guys we got to go. Mama is waiting for us back at home I don't want to keep her waiting. Let's go Shadow.' Hiro started running and Shadow ran after him, double taking due to the fact he almost forgot the knapsack of his now favorite food.

'They're weird', Jin said as he continued to eat his apple.

Hiro and Shadow got back to their cave and saw that no one was there. Hiro sighed,' Oh yeah, that's right. I cheated.'

Shadow looked confused," What do you mean you cheated?"

'Well that place we just went to was one of the secret bases that my friends and I found some time ago. No one knows about it except for us.'

"Cool! What should we do until your mom gets back?"

'Let's play tag!'

About a few hours later Grace, Marshal, Ariel and Amber came back to find two small exhausted creatures lying down near a sack of apples. 'Aw, look how cute they look', Ariel said but Grace had something else to say.

'WAKE UP!', Grace yelled and Hiro and Shadow immediately got up.

"Ma'am!", they said together.

'Where is Mindy and Maria?', Grace asked.

'We don't know ma. We were asleep', Hiro managed to yawn.

'Well then go find them since you didn't us after you were done!', Grace ordered.

"Yes ma'am", Hiro and Shadow said together as they charged off into the forest.

Meanwhile

'Mindy, are we lost?', Maria asked.

'No I know exactly where we are', Mindy replied.

'Then where are we?'

'Ummm...'

'I knew it! I knew we shouldn't have token the new path!'

'I know, I know'

About a few meters off in some bushes a trainer was watching them. "An espeon and an
eevee. What a great catch we have, right arcanine?", the trainer asked his red canine companion. The arcanine nodded his head and got into offensive position, but by doing this he cracked a branch.

Mindy perked up her ears,' How did I not notice that scent sooner! Maria! Run!'. The arcanine came out of the hiding and attempted to tackle down Mindy but she used quick attack to dodge out of the way. Maria started running but the arcanine used extreme speed to stop her in her tracks. The two sisters started to stand their ground and the trainer came out of his hiding place and placed them between him and his arcanine.

"Don't try to run. There has been no pokemon that could escape my grasp. As long as you are in my sight I won't...", the trainer began his monologue but was quickly smacked in the face by a blur of black. The black blur bounced of the trainers head and both trainer and blur crashed onto the floor.

"Ow. It looks like I ran a little too fast.", Shadow said, impressed at how much ground he covered in a short time.

'Shadow, you just used quick attack. That makes you move fast and execute attacks at a quicker pace', Mindy explained.

"Really? Awesome." Just then, a blur of brown came and charged at the big canine that managed to stumble it a bit. "And it looks like Hiro knows that move too", Shadow smiled.

The trainer got up," What in Arceus's name..." He stopped mid-sentence surprised of the small umbreon that stood on its hind legs. "What are you?", the trainer asked confused.

Shadow just answered plainly," I don't know ha-ha."

The trainer jumped," You can talk!?"

"Yup Yup."

"Hmm... it seems that you are quite an interesting pokemon. Let's see if we can capture you."

"Capture?"

"Get ready! Arcanine!"

Hiro and his sisters took their stances while Shadow just stared blankly at the trainer, confused at his earlier statement.

"Flamethrower!", the human ordered. The arcanine let out a strong flame from his mouth shooting it at the group. They all managed to dodge but left everyone separated by a growing flame. The embers from the attack started to spread from tree to tree. The smell of burning wood and the ash was a major distraction to the small umbreon. His senses seemed to be overwhelmed.

His eyes began to water as he covered his nose. "It burns!"

"Get the umbreon, use extreme speed!"

Shadow heard this and saw the big dog disappear then reappear right in front of him. He
had no time to react to the quick canine and was tackled into a tree.

"Ugh, that hurt", Shadow whined. The arcanine came in for another attack but Mindy stood between them and used Psybeam on it. The attack hit the arcanine in neck and was taken
aback by the sudden move. It was hurt but still held its ground

The human looked concern for his companion, "Are you okay?" The arcanine let out a bark and nodded. "Okay then, special combination attack, Fire Meteor now" The arcanine used extreme speed and jumped into the air. Then it started to inhale deeply.

'Brace yourselves', Mindy warned. The arcanine finally let out quick bursts of fire straight at Shadow and Mindy.

'Dang! We can't dodge this'

Just then a cool breeze came into the air and the fire turned into ice and colorful leaves smashed them into pieces.

The trainer started to look confused," What just happened?" Just then a glaceon and leafeon along with two eevee appeared from the bushes.

"Hmm? Seems like we get a family of eevee. Looks like I need to bring out more pokemon." The human got out two pokeballs from his belt. He was about to release a pokemon when a
small human girl comes between the trainer and the eevee family.

"Stop!" the girl cried out.

"What in the world?" A ranger with a wartortle on his shoulder was following close behind her. "What are you guys doing here?" The trainer asked.

"You! This Island is a restricted area to trainers. Come quietly and pay for the damages you have done.", the ranger replied while his wartortle began extinguishing the flames using rain dance.

Grace seized this chance,' All right you guys, follow me. We need to get out of here.'

Everyone nodded and followed her back to the cave. Shadow looked back to see the small human girl look at him. He also saw that the trainer start to flee but was tackled down by the ranger. The girl began to call out to Shadow but he had already turned around to catch up with the group. When they finally got to the cave Hiro noticed Shadow was looking troubled.

'What's wrong Shadow?', Hiro asked.

"What did that person mean by capture?"

Mindy began explaining, 'Humans created a device that they use to capture pokemon for
their own use. The device they use is called a pokeball and if it touches you, your capture is close to inevitable'

"Are all humans like that?"

'Not all of them are, but most of the ones that are called trainers are', Grace answered.
Shadow clenched his fists and declared, "Well they are evil! They capture pokemon for their own reasons like if we are some kind of food. They will pay for what they do and I promise I will get rid of them. I will get stronger so I can beat them all up!"

'Looks like he is very determined Grace. I don't know about going after trainers but...' Marshal whispered to Grace.

'You were thinking the same thing then?' Grace replied.

'Well of course. We shouldn't just leave him alone with humans. He seems to have had a bad start with them and besides, it looks as though he and Hiro could really get along.' Marshal explained with the same goofy smile he always seems to give.

'Yeah I guess you're right', Grace sighed. She then turned to Shadow who was already pouncing around with the eevee. 'Shadow?'

"Yes?" Shadow asked, getting up from being pounced by Hiro.

'Since you have no place to go and even the humans apparently don't know what you are exactly, why don't you be a part of our family?'

Shadow and Hiro looked at each other and exchanged smiles. "Yeah!"

Meanwhile Miles Away

"We still haven't found her!?"

A man with white hair and eyes was pacing around in his lab coat that had the words SPOT DIRECTOR on the name tag.

"Director, we are trying our best to find the traitors or the subjects", a scientist told him.

"Well try harder! It is bad enough that we lost the perfect test subject but losing those three as well! What is wrong with them? I could understand the subjects to escape. That was already foreseen. But the other two. They would dare leave their only….Where is Avalon!?"

"I am right here Laxus", Avalon said as he appeared from one of the doors.

"Find them! I don't care how as long as you get them back and don't threaten the secrecy of our operations here.", Laxus ordered.

"As you wish", Avalon replied as he left the room.

"You may have escaped for now but mark my words, the finished product will be in my possession one way or another. The power you have will also be mine in the end"

A/N: Alrighty peoplez! This is a story that I started 2 years ago and never had a chance to continue do to my busy life. I have just began to rewrite it and this story will be updating regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays. Now here are a few things that need to be brought up:

The pokemon live on Paradise Isle will be somewhat older and have have a longer lifespan than most pokemon. This is due to the magic of the Isle and will be explained later.

The term 'Ancient' refers to the legendary Pokemon who are truly one of a kind and have been alive since the beginning of time. These include only Mew, Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Azelf, Mespirit, Uxie, Darkrai, Cresselia, Regigigas, Victini, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus. This is a term used in much of the NightFall Chronicles and Legendary will be used to describe others.

The dimension that this story takes place is the same story as a friend of mine has made. The Story is called Ultimate Star and you could check it out here gallery/24688271. Check it out when you got a chance.
