Back by popular demand, here is the sequel to my fanfic Pokemon Colosseum Battle. I would like to point out I do not own Pokemon, and this fanfic is purely for entertainment. I hope you all enjoy this one.

Here is what you should expect from this story. More intense battles, more trainers getting involved, some cameos, and stronger Pokemon. I have also put a bit of a twist in my story. Let me give you a hint, Ash and Michael will not be the only ones in the story to fight off Cipher. I hope you enjoy.

Prologue

"Pikaaa!" the yellow mouse Pokemon called as he looked out at the vast landscape in amazement. It was night time and the full moon was shining brightly over the forest.

He sat there on a cliff of a large mountain looking out at a big green forest area south of the huge mountain. The moon light reflected over the forest leaves making things brighter then they actually were. The forest was a few miles away, below the mountain. The Pokemon had arrived recently at Orre, planning on another adventure with his fellow Pokemon, and his most trusted trainer, Ash Ketchum.

Most of Orre is a desert, but in the corner in the North West, there is some green, a big patch of forest. This was a significant change for Pikachu, though he was not complaining. It was a welcomed change, more so then the desert they just came from.

Pikachu turned to see his trainer sitting on a boulder, filling bowls with food for his Pokemon. One was for Pikachu. Another was for a big green lizard sitting patiently near another, larger boulder, a Grass Type Pokemon named Sceptile. The third was for a newcomer to the team. It was a big metal bird Pokemon and the reason they were able to travel through the harsh desert. It was a Steel Type Pokemon Skarmory. Skarmory belonged to a very close friend of Ash's who insisted he borrowed Skarmory to fly around Orre. Ash accepted, knowing how hot Orre can get. He did not believe it would be very bright walking around a desert. Flying is a quicker more efficient way to travel.

Now here they are, resting up after flying for hours on Skarmory's back. They were ready for a new journey, seeing new sights, and discovering new things. But first they needed to rest for the night after flying for so long. Tomorrow however, they start their journey.

Their first stop would be at a lab within that forest called the Pokemon HQ Lab. By request of Professor Oak, the man who gave Ash Pikachu, he was asked to go there to deliver a letter to a Professor Krane. Ash, being the person he is agreed to it, believing that lab would be an interesting place to stop by.

"Everyone, come get it," Ash called with the prepared dinner for the Pokemon. Sceptile and Skarmory both walked over to their bowl and proceeded to eat. Sceptile picked his up and one by one munched the small round balls of Poke Food and Skarmory used its beak to pecked at the food. Ash looked over at his partner and smiled reading Pikachu's expression. "Good to be back, right Pikachu."

Pikachu called out with a smile. He scampered over to the group to eat. It was good to be back in Orre. Last time they were here, it was in a different time and they were forced to fight against a criminal Syndicate called the Cipher, really stressful time. Though they succeeded, arriving back in their present time erased the memories of him from the minds of all those who helped him. Well, not all of them. There were two who remembered. They were close friends who by some mysterious force, managed to remember. Now he was borrowing a Pokemon of one of those friends and traveling around the present time Orre. Hopefully, this trip will involve less evil plots and more battling for fun.

Ash looked out at the night sky and smiled. "Maybe this time around, we'll have an adventure where nothing goes wrong."

The waves were calm. All was quiet as a huge blue cargo ship with a huge Pokeball painted at the side sailed on under the night sky. The S.S. Libra sailed on with precious cargo to their point of interest.

From within the steering room, the captain stood tall as he looked out at the calm night sky. His helms man to the left of him was silent, focusing on steering the ship. All was quiet as usual.

"Looks like we'll be having another quiet voyage captain." the helmsman commented.

"Aye," the captain agreed. "Mother nature's on our side today. We shouldn't expect a storm. Should be smooth sailing from here to Gateon Port. We should be there in the mor…" he was cut off by a sudden flash. Beams of light began to appear from out of the sky. "What's this?" the captain questioned with surprise. "Did someone turn the search lights on?"

"Those aren't any of our lights captain," the helmsman stated with uneasiness in his voice.

The captain turned to see a phone on the side of the wall ringing. The phone had a small red bulb on it that flashed greatly. "The emergency phone." The captain stated. He rushed over and picked it up. "This is the captain. What's going on out there?"

'Captain," a panicked voice called. "We're under attack!" The captain stood there surprised, but listening intently. "There are people on helicopters flying overhead. I think their trying to take over the ship. Their… wh-what is…" the signal was cut.

"What's wrong?" the captain demanded. "The lines dead." He concluded. He rushed outside to see the situation for himself, his helmsman followed close behind.

The two looked out to see four helicopter-like vehicles in the sky. They hovered around the ship like scavengers looking down on prey. They hovered overhead in a rectangle like formation.

"Who are they?" the helmsman asked. "Are they pirates?"

"No," the captain stated. "A pirate will attack immediately, take what it can, then leave as fast as it can. These guys are too organized and it looks like their waiting for something, but what?" His question was soon answered. Something from above caught the captain's eyes. A huge shadow flew down and hovered above the ship. "What is…" the captain was caught off guard by the appearance of the creature, a massive birdlike creature.

From one of the helicopters encircling the ship, a man in red with a metallic helmet grinned as he activated a device. "XD001, take that ship." He demanded. "Use Shadow Blast!"

The creature let out a high pitched roar as its eyes began to glow a bright red. A violet stream of energy erupted from its mouth. The captain and helmsman let out a scream as the powerful attack impacted with the ship.

At that moment, there was a shiver down the spine of one Pokemon in particular. A green plantlike Pokemon about one foot in height and glowing a warm green light looked out in the distance at the sea. It hovered over a forest area shaken by some powerful force. It felt something it had not felt in a long time, something it did not want to feel ever again. "Brri..." the green Pokemon called shivering. It could not shake the feeling something was wrong. There was something it needed to do, and to do it, that small green Pokemon needed help. It nodded, looked out at the land, and vanished in a flash of green light.

To be continued…

This is just a prologue to set up the plot. It may start out slow, but you can expect more later on. Until then, keep a look out for more updates and please review.
