Prologue
Mikan Island
A woman rested in the Gym's pool. She pushed back her red hair as she heard the doors to the Mikan Gym open.
"Hello?" she called out.
Cissy waited for a reply but got no answer. The woman got out of the pool, revealing that she wore a black one piece swim suit. Cissy walked over to a chair which had a black sarong and a brown belt hanging on it. She wrapped the sarong around her waist and pulled a ball off of her belt. Quickly the Gym leader enlarged the pokeball and opened it. The red energy formed into a large tortoise. The blue skinned pokemon scratched his brown shell as he appeared.
"Blastoise, I just feel that something is wrong," she explained to her pokemon.
The water pokemon nodded his head before he was thrown to the ground. Cissy looked around in alarm but couldn't see anybody. She looked down to help up Blastoise, but to her surprise he wasn't there! The Gym leader looked around for her pokemon when something grabbed her hair. Cissy was dragged to the ground, and to her horror, through it.
"HELP ME!" she screamed as she disappeared into the ground.
Hidden Place
A figure watched Cissy get dragged into the ground. It gulped as twirled its hand. The sphere of light showed a three other pictures next to the one of Cissy being dragged down into the ground. The pictures were of three other people being dragged into the ground. There was another red haired woman, she seemed to be in her late forties, a strongly build brown haired man, and a snappy dressed young man. There were looks of pure horror on each of their faces, and there was nothing that seemed able to pull them under ground.
But it knew better. It had been at war with the thing, which kidnapped the Gym leaders, hundreds of years ago. And it thought that it had defeated its enemy. But it was obviously wrong, and it needed to finish off its enemy for good. But it had needed help then, and it needed help now. It had no choice other than to use them.
Near the Earth's Core
Cissy, Danny, Rudy and Luana were wrapped up in ropes. The four of them were unconscious and Luana had a couple of bruises on her face. The vast room that they were in seemed empty, not including the tied up Gym leaders.
"Where am I?" Luana asked as she slowly awoke from unconsciousness.
The red haired woman looked around in shock as she saw through a large window. Outside the window was an enormous ball of molten lava.
"OH MY GOD!" she screamed out at the top of her voice.
Luana's scream awoke the other three Gym leaders, who were also very shocked to see the Earth's core outside.
"Where are we?" Danny asked.
"You're obviously at the Earth's core," someone replied.
The leaders looked around and a creature formed from a purple mist that seemed to appear out of nowhere. The creature was fairly tall and humanoid but he also had, what seemed to be, pokemon parts. His skin was a dark hue of purple, except for his hands which were dark red. His hands were clawed, as were his feet and there were several sapphires on his back. His head had several rubies on it but no face, which raised questions as to how he spoke, saw or ate, and wisps of light purple smoke floated off of his head. He walked towards the Gym leaders, but his feet never seemed to actually touch the ground.
"What are you?" whispered Danny.
The creature looked at the strongly built man and laughed.
"You can call me Spector," answered the purple man.
"What do you want with us?" Rudy asked with determination in his voice.
"I need some friends," Spector answered as he raised his hand.
The lair was filled with the screams of the four Gym leaders.
On Pummelo Island
Drake sat down on a couch. He ran his gloved hands through his black hair as he thought about what was going to happen. With a sigh Drake got back up, patting down his red vest and long blue pants. Standing in front of him were four teenagers, two girls and two boys.
"Excuse me sir," started one of the girls, "Why are we here again?"
Drake stared at the blonde girl and shook his head, not really wanting to tell them why they were there. The other girl, a red head, took a pose which suggested to the Head Leader 'Hurry up and tell us.' The first of the two boys, a chubby brunette, shook his head in disappointment before he walked towards the door.
"Okay, I'll tell you," Drake finally answered. "As you may know the Gym leaders have gone missing, and that it's thought that they are on vacation."
The girls and chubby boy nodded and the second boy, a black haired boy who was really muscly, look slightly puzzled. But Drake went on.
"Well that's completely wrong! Hundreds of years ago the person that kidnapped the leaders was at war with a mystical being. The two were at a stalemate and had been for a while. And the person was starting to get stronger. The being was starting to get beaten by the person, and in a desperate attempt to defeat the person, created four objects of immense power. He granted the powers to four humans, and with their help the being was able to imprison the person. Unfortunately the seal that was imprisoning the person has been broken. That's where you four come in. The mystical being needs help to once again defeat the person."
The four teenagers looked at Drake with smirks on their faces.
"Yeah right," scoffed Tim, the chubby boy.
"If you don't believe me," started Drake, "Just watch."
Drake snapped his fingers, and to the teenagers' surprise, they disappeared in five pokeball-shaped orbs of energy.
