The Heart of Sinnoh
"UuUuuUugggh Elllllsa I'm Huuuuungry" A very familiar voice groaned as she drudgged along.
It was none other than Anna, except she looked quite different than she had in the Unova League.
Anna had her hair in its usual two red braids which flapped about as she dropped her head back.
She wore a tight black coat which had a purple hoodie's hood protruding from its back. She had
a somewhat short plaid purple pink skirt over white leggings and two boots. Sinnoh had a
tendency to be cold, but at this point Anna had gotten used to it.
"We could have made it to Hearthome by now if we had kept to the trail" Elsa replied a bit
annoyed as she tried to fix her disheveled hair. She too looked quite different, aside from the
dishevlement that is. She wore a tight light grey jacket which doubled as a skirt running over her
black leggings and small brown boots. She had her light blue braid tied in its usual braid, along
with a rather nice berat like cap on the back of her head.
"That Twitch kid needed our help!" Anna retorted throwing her arms about "You can't blame
me for wanting to help!"
"I don't blame you at all, I just lament the decision" Elsa replied. The two girls were indeed
quite out of the way. They had found themselves in some heavily wooded area with no
recognizable signs of life, streets, et cetera. They had been stuck in the forest for about three
and a half days at this point and were rather worried.
"So...do we have any food left?" Anna asked again picking up her pace to be alongside Elsa
"We need to save it" Elsa replied placing her hand on Anna's face and pushing her away
"Ugggh!" Anna groaned as she fell onto the floor. Anna was very exhausted, and rather than
struggle to her feet, she gave in and simply sat on the ground, her legs outstretched. "I don't
want to keep going"
"Too bad, we need to" Elsa replied continuing on
"But I don't wanna" Anna retorted crossing her arms
"Fine, stay here, let the ursaring and bugs get you" Elsa said shrugging her arms expecting
Anna to spring forth, yet she didnt. Rather, Anna flopped onto her back laying down, looking at
the sky.
"Get up!" Elsa yelled out turning around and crossing her arms
"Just leave me to die" Anna replied with a melancholy voice
"You rather die than walk?" Elsa asked looking at the girl
"Much rather" Anna replied simply
"Would some food help?" Elsa asked rolling her eyes
"Yes" Anna replied quickly
"Here, i'll give you a poffin" Elsa said sliding her backpack around
"I want three!" Anna yelled back
"You lazy jerk, get up!" Elsa yelled out tossing the back down and running to Anna. Elsa
quickly poked the girl with her foot several times, each time only responded with a groan from
Anna. "Come on! I don't want to be stuck in this stupid forest another day!"
At this point Elsa had grabbed Anna from underneath the arms and had begun dragging her.
The entire time, Anna remained dead weight and groaned. Yet as Elsa began dragging her, the
two heard a very loud noise. Elsa quickly turned around, Anna quickly sprung up.
"What was that?" Anna asked looking off in the direction of the loud noise
"I don't know" Elsa replied
"Well come on!" Anna quickly yelled out running off towards the noise
"What?! Why would I want to run towards the big unnown noise?!" Elsa asked grabbing her
backpack
"Because! Now come on!" Anna responded quickly as she ran back, grabbed Elsa by the
wrist, and continued on running, dragging the girl with her.
They didn't know what they were running to, they didn't know what to expect at all, all they
knew was that they heard something very out of the ordinary and wanted to see what it was.
They ran as quickly as they could through the vast collection of trees, that is until a point where
the trees ran together too closely.
"What is this?" Elsa asked holding her hand to the tight knitting of trees and roots
"This can't be natural, can it?" Anna asked pushing against the root web, it was very strudy
and refused to move at all
"I don't thi..." Elsa began when the two heard the noise once again
"Okay, no time!" Anna quickly stated "We're going over it!"
"But it doesn't look like there's enough space to fly through the canopy" Elsa replied looking up
at the tightly knit canopy of tree branches which only allowed a few small rays of sunlight to
sashay into the shade.
"We'll make it" Anna said reaching into her jacket pocket
"But I thought Staraptor was too weak to fly" Elsa said pressing herself against the web of
roots trying to look through. All she could make out was another few feet of trees pressing
together blocking her view.
"I'm sure it will be fine" Anna said holding a pokeball in her hand "Staraptor we need you!"
As she said this she threw the pokeball on the ground and outcame the bird she called on. It
was a very large and muscular bird, the tip of its head reaching more than four feet in height, it
was rather intimidating with its long talons digging into the ground.
"We need you to take us through the trees and to the otherside!" Anna yelled out. The bird
looked up at the canopy before turning its head back down to Anna with a look of worry "Oh
come on it's just a few feet and then you're done!"
The bird let out a large breath of disdainment through its nostrils before it flapped its great
wings. The trees were almost too close together where they stood and nearly restrictied the
large bird from flying. In a moment Staraptor was in the air and wrapped its long toes around the
biceps of Elsa and Anna.
"I hate flying" Elsa muttered using her free hand to hold her jacket down
"Get over it! Come on Staraptor!" Anna yelled out to her Staraptor which looked back with a
clear look of annoyance as it began flying forth. It gave a mighty flap of its wings and shot forth
through the tree branches. It took a moment, but the bird was able to shoot through the canopy
and fly a few feet over it.
"Woah" Elsa said in awe as she saw what the tight trees had blocked her view of
"Holy sh..." Anna began as she too looked over it. It was a vast segment of land which could
best be described as beautifully tranquil. The land was well covered in clean green grass. Lovely
trees growing about everywhere with berries and pokemon hanging from their branches. It was
trully a serene view.
"What is this place?" Elsa asked still looking with wonder as Staraptor lowered the two just
past the thiket of trees into the fine garden.
"You tell me" Anna replied as she returned the bird and began walking forth in the lovely grass
which rustled beneath her feet.
"I don't remember this place being on the map" Elsa replied pulling her backpack back up her
back and looking around
"Maybe it's new" Anna said walking forth "Hey we can name it! How about... Annatown!"
"No, there was a house" Elsa replied simply as she squinted her eyes looking out across the
fine land, the trees blocking her view of anything past what was near her
"I didn't see a house" Anna said with a hmmph as crossed her arms
"No Anna, house is good, we want there to be a house" Elsa retorted as she began walking
forth "House means food and directions"
"I don't need directions!" Anna yelled back running after Elsa "And there are plenty of berry
trees all around to survive off of! And I think I saw a lake! We're set"
"We are not set, we need to get back on the road to get to Hearthome" Elsa said as she
continued onwards
"Why?! I'm sick of gym battles" Anna replied annoyed "It's always the same thing! March
through the filth to lose, then train for days to win, then go to the league to lose!"
"We've only been in one pokemon league Anna" Elsa said still looking onward
"And that was one too many!" Anna replied "I'm done with being a trainer!"
"What? You love battling" Elsa replied turning her head to Anna
"I love to battle, but I hate gyms" Anna replied "I'm sick of them! I'm sick of camping too! I hate
sleeping in the mud and eating berries!"
"Didn't you just say you like berries?" Elsa asked
"Hell no! I'm sick of them! I need protein!" Anna pleaded "I want a nice hot meal and a warm
bed!"
"...to be honest" Elsa began "...I am kind of dreading these gyms. And I could really go for
some chocolate"
"Exactly!" Anna yelled out "More to the reason we should quit!"
"In the middle of Sinnoh?" Elsa asked "Where would we go? At bare minimum we need some
money to get back to Kalos"
"Well the way I see it..." Anna began before they both heard a loud noise once again
"It came from this way!" Elsa yelled out as she began running forth
"Uggh" Anna groaned before following after her
Elsa ran as quickly as she could through the field, leapng over small bushes and drops in the
ground, quickly dodging through the trees and pokemon, she heard something and felt someone
was in trouble. Sure enough after a moment of running the house once again came into view, but
more so, people and pokemon in front of it. Elsa and Anna stopped while they were still well
hidden in the bushes and trees. They slowly and quietly made their way closer to see what was
going on.
"Old lady, stop making this difficult!" A mans voice yelled out amongst the crowd, not yet in
view to the girls "We aren't the bad guys, we want to help people and pokemon, just like you!"
As he finished this statement Elsa finally managed to get a glimpse of the speaker. It was a
man, he was around his early thirties, with pale skin and a notable scar across his cheek. He
wore a very peculiar uniform of baggy black ragged pants, red boots, red gloves, and a very
distinct red and black hood which covered most of his face.
"Don't listen to him miss Serenity, he's a Magma scum!" A second voice yelled out, this one
was that of a woman, it was high pitched and contained a very small barely noticible lisp, "He just
wants to use you to get what he wants, then he'll discard you!"
Anna slowly squeezed past Elsa to view this second speaker. Sure enough a woman came
into view, this woman was very different than the alleged Magma scum. She was average height
with fair skin, yet she had long straight locks of light red hair jutting out of a bandanna about her
head. She had very long legs with wide hips which help up a baggy pair of blue pants. Across her
chest, aside from a tight black and white striped tank top, she had a pokeball attached to a string.
"If what both of you say is true, then you'd stop attacking" A very calm, gentle, voice replied. At
it's reply both Anna and Elsa turned to see her, the small tan old woman known as Serenity.
"Please, you misunderstand" The Magma grunt said holding both of his arms outstretched
"Our attacks in no way intend to harm you or your lovely garden"
"So as long as it is unitentional, that makes it alright?" Serenity asked simply with a small
head tilt
"Magma tends to think so, but I assure you Team Aqua does not" The Aqua woman said in a
reassuring tone
"Team Aqua and Team Magma?" Anna asked in a whisper to Elsa "As in the Terrorist crime
syndicates? What do they want with this old lady?"
"Didn't you hear?" Elsa asked in another whisper "This entire place we've been on is a farm,
so there must be something around here that they want"
"Good point" Anna said before turning her head to see a most disturbing sight. Little had Anna,
or Elsa for that matter, truly looked around themselves to see just how many pokemon had
gathered. From Caterpie, to Spinarak, to Ekans, many pokemon had begun crawling all along the
trainers and the branches around them.
"Don't scream, don't scream, don't scream" Elsa repeated over and over as a spinarak
slowly crawled along up the side of her leg
"Madam, I promise we are merely here to exterm...ahem...extenuate our motives with you"
The magma grunt spoke in a calm voice and a forced smile
"Don't listen to him, he's a liar!" The Aqua grunt yelled out
"You're a liar!" The Magma grunt retorted quickly, two other grunts getting behind him
"Nuh uh" The aqua grunt responded as two other aqua grunts gathered to her side
"You're studio...I mean stupid!" The magma grunt yelled back, correcting himself as a second
grunt whispered in his ear
"Well you're short!" The aqua grunt retorted sticking her tongue out at the Magmas
"I have to go do some things, can you just..." Serenity replied pointing back at her house
"Huh, oh yeah, patro...Ahem, Pardon us" The Magma grunt replied with a small bow
"Of course, sorry mam, we'll be back a little later" The Aqua female replied holding her hands
together and bowing her head a little "...We just need to deal with these idiots"
"Who are you calling an idol...um..Idiot!" The magma grunt replied as the Magma members
and the Aqua members began walking off back through the gate, one grunt from each team
closing the gate behind them and locking it qute courteously.
It didn't take long for the team members to get out of sight, all that remained was the kind old
woman who greeted a Sylveon which had walked out from the house. Anna watched for a
moment as the Sylveon cried some murmur out and the old woman seemed to talk about. As
Anna watched she turned back for a moment to see Elsa standing straight up and shaking. Anna
looked with confusion for a moment before she looked down to see a Spinarak slowly crawling
along Elsas leg, nearly reaching the bottom of her jacket.
"Don't do it!" Anna whispered in a stern voice as Elsa's eyes slowly lowered down "Don't you
dare f^cking do it!"
It took all of three seconds before Elsa let out a blood curdling sceam and ran out of the
shrubbery throwing her hands about, immediatly alerting the old woman to her presence. Anna
let out a sigh as she looked at Elsa slowly turn to the old woman.
"Umm...Hello" Elsa managed to say as she slowly stood up right trying her best to make
sense of the situation.
"Hello" Serenity replied turning around as though nothing remotely odd had happened "Sorry
to keep you waiting, those people do like to talk alot sometimes"
Anna tilted her head with confusion as Serenity looked towards her.
"You can come out, those shrubs can't be very comfortable" Serenity said waving her arm at
Anna.
"We're both so sorry, we didn't mean to intrude" Elsa pleaded as Anna stepped forth "We
were lost and..."
"Oh, lost in the forest? It happens all the time, I asked for signs to be put up, but they haven't
gotten around to it" Serenity replied as she patted Sylveon on the head, the creature quite
content and staring with its wide eyes at the two girls.
"What is this place?" Anna asked looking around at the well kept green garden
"Just my garden" Serenity replied with a smile as she turned to admire the front of the garden
"Just a garden?" Elsa asked looking at Yanmega happily fly overhead
"Just a garden" Serenity replied as Sigilyph floated out from the house towards her
"Then why were Team Aqua and Magma after it?" Anna asked turning back to the old woman
who now stood patting Sigilyph
"Oh they want to take it for themselves" Serenity replied "They think it has some secret power
to it...Honestly, it's just my garden, I made it to be a haven for Pokemon, if they want one, they
can plant one themselves. So what can I do for you lovely young ladies?"
Elsa and Anna turned to each other for a moment before their eyes began to water up and
they both shot forth on their knees towards the old woman with their hands clasped as they
pleaded.
"Please give us food, we'll do anything!" Anna cried as she crawled forth
"A bed, I will do absolutely anything for an actual bed right now!" Elsa added
"Anything but berries, pleeeeease" Anna continued as she reached Serenity's feet, both
Sigilyph and Sylveon exchanging looks and small laughs
"A shower, I would kill for a warm shower!" Elsa pleaded
"Pleeease" Both girls said in unison as they grovled at the kind old woman's feet
"Oh stop that both of you" Serenity said patting both on the head "Of course. You can stay the
night as long as you help me with a few chores"
"R really?" Anna said looking up, her eyes still watery
"Really" Serenity replied simply
"Are you sure?" Elsa asked looking up, her eyes too very watery
"I'm sure" Serenity replied as Sylveon and Sigilyph helped the girls up "You know, i've had
children and grandchildren of my own, I know how difficult traveling can be"
"What happened to them?" Anna asked as she wiped her tears off on her sleeve
"All manors of things" Serenity replied as she turned and began towards her house "But more
about that later, first let's get you girls a nice warm meal, it's almost lunchtime after all"
A Few minutes later
It was a chaotic scene with flesh being shredded and warm syrup like substance flying
around the air. Anna held a drumstick of meat in one hand and a flat fried crispy pancake like
item in her other hand, alternating between bites. Elsa had a spoon in each hand and attacked
her soup with ferosity, the rice and other small items in the soup flying around as she dove into
the food. All of the girls pokemon were not very different from their trainers as they too attacked
their food as though it were an enemy. The pokemon were ecstatic to have meat, poke blocks,
and general food besides berries and poffins.
"You two really do remind me of my grandchildren" Serenity said with a smile as she picked
up some of the empty plates which held bones and empty wrappings some of the food had been
cooked in.
"Where are they?" Elsa asked taking her face away from the bowl for a moment, a drumstick
of meat harpooned on her spoon
"Well one moved away, and the other is off on his journey right now" Serenity replied "I'm
surprised you got this desperate, why didn't you just ask your parents for help?"
"Orphans" Anna replied simply as she bit into the flakey fried pancake delicacy which allowed
a brown syruppy sap to drip from it
"Oh my" Serenity replied with shock
"Oh it's not that bad, we've made it pretty far actually" Elsa replied before sinking her teeth
into the drumstick
"So you both want to go to the Frontier?" Serenity asked pouring some milk into Anna's glass
"We did" Anna replied before grabbing the glass and taking a huge gulp
"Right now we're not too sure" Elsa replied honestly "We just need a few days to think...right
now we're just kind of...well..hobo's"
"Oh there's no need for that" Serenity replied kindly "You can stay here while you think over
what to do, I don't mind...actually I think Sly would appreciate the help"
"Sylv!" Sylveon happily replied from its bowl of food which contained many of the foods the
girls ate.
"Were you ever a trainer?" Anna asked as she sat back, her plate empty and her stomach so
full the bulge could practically be seen.
"In a way, yes" Serenity replied picking up the plate
"A coordinator?" Elsa asked as she wiped her mouth with a napkin and leaned back
"No, that was always my little grandboy's favorite" Serenity replied as she stacked the bowl
onto the plate
"A breeder?" Anna asked
"I've always been what I am now" Serenity replied with a calming smile "A gardner"
The two girls returned the smile, both satisfied with the answer and the meal. It was truly the
greatest the two had eaten in a very long time. At this point the girls pokemon were so stuffed
that they couldn't move. Poor Staraptor was so full that it laid on its back and refused to move.
"Alright, are you two ready?" Serenity asked. The girls sat back up to see the table, which had
been a disaster only moments before, was now completely clean and nearly sparkling.
"guuugh, yeah" Anna replied groaning as she stood up
"baaa, me too" Elsa added as she too groaned to her feet
"You two must be very exhausted from traveling so long, so why don't you just stay in and
clean around the house?" Serenity asked
"Absolutely!" Anna replied with a burst of energy
"Are you sure you don't want us to help out around the garden?" Elsa asked as the kind
woman walked forth
"Oh i'm sure, we're fine" Serenity replied as her group all lined up and began following her,
each of the joyful eeveelutions filled and ready to work, "But we do get so busy sometimes that
the house get's a bit messy"
"Not a problem mam!" Anna replied with a salute "Elsa and Anna are on the job!"
The kind old woman and her pokemon had stepped out of her door for only seconds when
Anna and Elsa turned to each other, both with smiles stretching from ear to ear.
"Why are you smiling?" Anna asked trying to keep a straight face
"What do you mean, why are you smiling?" Elsa asked also trying to keep a straight face as
best she could. The two stood with horribly hidden smiles for all of seconds before the took each
others hands and began jumping up and down.
"This place is paradise!" Anna yelled happily
"Did we die in that forest?" Elsa asked as she stopped jumping up and down
"Don't care! Worth!" Anna replied still happily jumping up and down
"Anna get it together!" Elsa said holding Anna down by the shoulders "Don't forget, we're still
hobo's now, and that kind lady isn't going to let us stay here forever!"
"...but...it's perfect here" Anna replied a bit upset
"Exactly, that's how you should know we can't stay here" Elsa retorted in a very grim tone
"We don't get happy endings, we're orphans and pokemon trainers, that's two strikes. This kind
of life is just too good for us"
"But...the garden...beds...and those weird flakey pancake thingies..." Anna pleaded, her eyes
watering up
"I'm sorry Anna, I'd love to stay here too" Elsa began in a calm soothing tone "But it just
doesn't work like that. I say we leave tomorrow to keep this from being too hard. So enjoy it while
we can"
"...I like it here" Anna said sadly as Elsa began walking away
"So do I" Elsa replied as she walked away, careful to not allow Anna to see the tears rolling
down her cheeks.
Later that day
The day had nearly turned to night and the girls were still hard at work. Serenity and her
comrades had completed all the mysterious outdoor chores and were relaxing in the living room
of the house, the television playing some stat program running in a different language.
"Bienvenido, Bienvenido, Bienvenido Hombres y mujeres. Este Sinnoh statisticos diario" The
rather eccentric host yelled out as Serenity sat stitching some pieces of clothe. Sly sat by her
side batting a ball of yarn back and forth with Rama, the vaporeon.
"Almost done" Elsa said as emptied the dustpan into a small trashcan
"We would have been done earlier if you didn't take a shower..." Anna replied with half open
eyes of annoyance
"We also would have been done earlier if you didn't insist on a nap break" Elsa replied as she
grabbed the broom and began walking forth
"You took the nap didn't you?" Anna replied as she brushed her face with a bandanna
"Yeah yeah, last room" Elsa said as she approached a small walkway which led to three
seperate doors. As she grabbed the handle and tried to push it forth she realized it wouldn't
budge. "Hey, Miss Serenity, this door won't open, did you want us to clean it?"
"Oh yes, this one you can clean" Serenity replied rising to her feet "I just didn't want you
cleaning my other grandson's room because he comes back and would be a bit mixed up. This
door just hasn't been opened for a long time"
"Yeah, you gotta put some shoulder into it!" Anna replied throwing her shoulder against the
door which still remained shut, the girl slowly backing away rubbing her shoulder.
"Here you go" Serenity said as she lightly pushed on the door, swinging it wide open. As the
door opened it revealed a rather simple sight. It was a room, and it surely belonged to someone
at some point, but now all that remained was the empty shell of what it once was. It was rather
simple, a bed next to a small bookshelf and a small empty desk. The only personal item in the
wall, aside from nails in the wall where posters were sure to be, was a small picture on a
nightstand.
"You said this was your grandsons room?" Elsa asked as she walked towards the picture.
She was taken aback by the room, it gave off such an air of depression. As Elsa picked up the
picture which was covered in dust and slightly bleached by the sun, she could make out four
figures. It was a man, a woman, and two children. The man was well dressed, well shaven, and
overall an average man. The woman was a young blonde woman with bright brown eyes. Of the
two boys, one was around ten and looked very content. The other, a very young child, still a
toddler, looked very content to be in his mothers hands.
"Well, he hasn't been in here for years" Serenity said looking at the room "Actually, if you two
don't mind sharing the room, you can stay here..."
Elsa and Anna turned towards each other immediatly with wide eyes and great smiles.
"We get a room, we get a room!" The girls yelled out happily as they turned towards each
other and leapt with joy.
The warm bed the girls shared was a pleasent switch from the cold mud of camping, and
they were more than happy to share. Spending days on end nearly starving and fighting for every
scrap of food had taken quite a toll on the newly homeless. Serenity too enjoyed the girls
company, she had grown rather used to the company of her grandson, and without him she had
begun to miss having a child around. She enjoyed her Pokemon haven, but she also enjoyed
having a child around.
Elsewhere
"What do you mean?" The figure asked in a very deep voice as he rested his hand on the
small wooden stool "Are you telling me you just let them walk away?!"
"Of course not sir!" The bubbly red haired aqua grunt replied standing as though she feared
she was going to be hit "We fought them!"
"Oh, you fought them, of course, how stupid of me" The man replied as he turned, his long
trench coat swaying as he did "So you won correct? And you took their pokemon right? Oh and
of course, you beat them down before leaving them for the cops, you did it all right?"
"Well...sorta" The woman replied scratching her head
"'Sorta' doesn't get us that damn farm!" The man replied with a great yell as he smashed his
fist into the stool, one of the legs bursting in two splintered parts under the force "And now those
magma f^ckers have just as much chance to get it as we do!"
"But sir, with all dude respect..." The woman began
"It's 'due' you imbecile" The man replied resting his hand on his forehead in frustration
"Oh I agree completely, we really haven't been showing you the respect you deserve" The
oblivious woman replied "But as I was saying...why exactly do we need the farm? I mean...it's
land, we want water, right?"
"...ugh..." The man began with a great sigh as he slowly walked forth "Okay, let me break this
down for you, we all know if I don't you'll be clueless"
"Oh absoluetely, I agree sire" The woman replied saluting, to which the man gave another
groan of annoyance
"Alright, that farm there is housing something much more valuable than a few pokemon" The
man began
"Of course! It's on top of a gold mine!" The woman replied slapping her fist into her hand "It's
on top of yellow gold!"
"...all gold is yellow" The man replied
"Right!" The woman quickly assured as she slapped her fist into her hand again
"Legendaries you idiot!" The man yelled out "That farm is concealing them!"
"OhHhHh...I remember that, they say Victini roam the ground" The woman said with a self
accomplished smile
"Well yes, there are those..." The man continued
"Aha! We steal the Victini and sell them on the black market for a huge profit!" The grunt
yelled out in a moment of realization "You're a genius!"
"Yes, I am" The man said shaking his head "But that's not why. You see, that farm has
something far greater than Victini..."
"Espurr!" The bubbly aqua grunt interupted
"..No..not espurr" The man replied confused
"No there is, I saw some there when I was a little kid" The grunt replied holding her finger to
her chin thinking back "...Yeah, when my mommy took me I looked around and found some
Espurr"
"Rrg! Emf! SvvVvvV" The man began as he held himself back from smashing something else
"You fool! The lake! There's a legendary of great power in the lake!"
"OhHhHh" The woman said nodding her head
"Tomorrow! You and your group go and procure it!" The man said holding back his fist
"Ah, really? Thanks boss, the nails have gotten a bit messy" The woman began as she held
her hand out and examined her fingernails
"Son of a..." The man began as his eye twitched "Procure! Not Pedicure!"
"Awww...are you sure?" The woman asked with large sad watery eyes
"Yes! Now get out of here!" The man yelled out as his head began shaking with rage
The Next day
"Well are you ready to get to work?" Serenity asked as Anna and Elsa washed off their plates
in the small mettalic sink
"Yes ma'am" Anna replied setting her plate in the small white holder next to the sink
"What are we doing today?" Elsa asked as she dried off her hands on a small green towel
"Today you two will be putting some food out for the wild pokemon" Serenity replied "For the
most part the pokemon take care of themselves, but I like to put some food out just in case"
"Sounds good" Anna said as she began forth
"Go ahead and grab a few pieces of meat from the freezer" Serenity said looking at Anna and
pointing towards her fridge "And also get a bag of dry food"
As she said this Anna moved towards the fridge and Elsa moved towards the small stack of
dry food bags. As Anna opened the freezer door she was amazed to find the freezer absolutely
packed with meat of all kinds and sizes. Elsa grabbed the large bag to find it weighed much
more than it looked and nearly took her to the ground as she hoisted it over her shoulder.
"If you don't mind, all I need you to do is put the dry food in the small saucers under some of
the shrubs" Serenity said looking at Elsa "And attach some pieces of meat onto the sorted hooks
if you can"
"Not a problem" Anna replied grabbing a large slab of red meat.
"Consider it done" Elsa added walking forth
"Is that it?" Anna asked as she began walking
"Yes, that's plenty" Serenity replied as she walked past the two, her strides very small yet
brisk
"I don't know, seems easy enough" Elsa began a bit worried that she was taking advantage of
the kind old woman...
An hour later
"...only...three fourths...left" Elsa said as she dragged the small red wagon with several begs
of feed on it, her face letting off a few drops of sweat "This place is way bigger than I thought"
"Glace" The small comrade of hers concurred as it walked forth.
The two continued walking down the small path, stopping every fifty feet or so to pour some
of the poke food into one of the small saucers under bushes, shrubs, trees, vines, and all sorts
of plant life. It truly was a glorious garden, small pokemon loved it just as much as humans did.
The lovely creatures were happily wandering about in roads, grass, and trees. They were so
comfortable that they didn't see Elsa as a threat, for the most part they had all been fairly well
tamed. This was somewhat unsettling for Elsa when she came across larger pokemon who
would stop by to dig into a bag of the feed.
"...uggh...maybe just a break" Elsa said as a rather large creature known as Snorlax held her
wagon back as it fed on one of the bags
"Glace glace!" Elsa's small comrade yipped out as it poked its head through one of the small
patches of shrubbery.
"What is it?" Elsa asked taking off her berat like hat and wiping her brow on her jacket sleeve.
"Glace!" Glaceon yipped again running through the brush. Elsa sighed as she looked back at
the large creature, still eating its fill of the feed, she figured it would be a while, so she followed
after her Glaceon. As she squeezed through the twigs and leaves, she found herself on the
opposite side of the growth. It was a wide opening surrounding a great blue lake. The lake wasn't
truly of enormous size, but for being on the property of the kind old woman, it was very well
sized. The top of the lake was swaying calmly with a low ripple. The water was so clean and
blue that it seemed nearly unnatural, yet it kept its fine natural air with the grass around it in the
opening.
"Glace!" Glaceon yipped as it happily sat at the edge of the lake, its tail swaying back and
forth over and skimming the water.
"We really should get back to work..." Elsa said looking back at the wall of ivy and leaves, yet
as she turned back, the calm water seemed to call to her. It was so peaceful and relaxing that
he couldn't help but want to stay. "...oh...fine! But just for a little bit!"
As she said this she happily began towards the water, slowly reaching for the top button of
her jacket. It had been such a long time since she had been able to relax that she was more than
ready to be able to just sit down and be at ease. Yet, as Elsa reached the third button of her
jacket she heard a loud noise in the distance. Elsa shot her head up looking at the direction of
the noise, something was happening.
Elsewhere
"Did you hear that?" Anna asked looking back towards the house
"Star" Staraptor replied in a squeak as it looked back
"Fly up and get a look, see what's going on" Anna said as she tried to see what was
happening. When she finished speaking, Staraptor shot upwards into the sky to overlook the
garden. In the air Staraptor looked towards the house to see a large cloud of smoke rising
upwards into the air.
"Star Star!" Staraptor squaked as it quickly shot down to Anna
"What? What is it?!" Anna asked worried as she looked at Staraptor's concerned face.
Staraptor wasted no time in trying to explain, rather it latched its talons around Anna's arm and
took off into the air with its trainer.
The moment the two were in the air, Anna saw the great cloud of smoke. Panic immedietly
set in as she flew through the air towards the source. As they flew forth, Anna heard a loud
squak, she turned her head just in time to see a Skarmory flying quickly towards her.
"Staraptor look out!" Anna yelled in fear just a moment too late, the Skarmory blindsiding the
bird with a large tackle, its metal coated wings digging into the bird. The attack was so critical
that it caused Staraptor to drop Anna as it fell towards the ground. It took a moment for Anna to
fall atop a tree with some impact, several branches snapping off. Before Staraptor could strike
the ground it regained itself and took off back into the air.
"I didn't recall there being anyone else on this farm" A voice said from underneath Anna. She
groaned as she turned to see a Magma grunt underneath her "You're an aqua runt aren't you?"
"What? No, i'm Anna" Anna replied as she tried to adjust herself, her leg slipping and running
across one of the snapped branches, leaving a long cut along her leg.
"Never heard of that team, must be full of nobodies" The grunt replied crossing his arms
"It's not a team!" Anna yelled back
"Potatoe, Potatoe, you're here and you're in the way" The grunt replied "That legendary is
Magma's!"
"Legendary?" Anna asked as she shifted once more, this time the main branch supporting her
snapped and she slowly fell down the tree, coming out the bottom and falling to the ground with
twigs all throughout her hair and clothes
"Yeah that's right, they say there's a legendary pokemon of epic proportions underneath this
farms lake" The grunt replied thinking for a moment "Hmm...yeah, that's right, yup yup"
"So you're here to steal it?" Anna asked, brushing the twigs from her
"Well, me and my team, yes" The grunt replied holding his hand to his chin in thought "No,
wait! That's on a need to know basis! You trickster! You'll pay for that! Skarmory Steel Wing!"
"Staraptor Quickly, use Aerial Ace!" Anna yelled out in reply. Both Staraptor and Skarmory
quickly shot forth through the air, stricking each other with their wings at great speed.
"Ha, do you really think..." The Magma grunt began before he was interuppted by Anna
tackling him. Anna took the grunt down, the two striking a small bush and falling through,
evidently a small hill behind it. The two tumbled down the hill before reaching a landing.
"Ow..." Anna said rubbing her head as she sat up, atop the grunt who was unconscious
...well...it worked..."
At The Lake
"What's going on?" Elsa asked as she began pushing the growth aside to head back, yet as
she did she heard voices behind her. The girl quickly ducked behind the plantlife, looking at who
was approaching.
"Ah, here it is, just like bossy boss said" a man said as he came into the opening, his clothes
nearly identical to the man aside him, both clearly Aqua grunts.
"Alright, so now what?" The second asked "Is there some ritual, or do we just drain the lake?"
"Maybe that tree up there? It looks suspicious" The first replied looking at a small hill with a tall
tree atop it beside the lake
"Bah, my vote is for draining it" The second replied pulling forth a pokeball
"How do you plan to do that?" The first asked crossing his arms
"Hey!" Elsa yelled out looking at the two "What are you doing here?!"
"Aha, Serenity!" The first said in a loud proud voice as his partner stood back to back with
him "I knew you were powerful, so defeating our leader is not that suprising, but now you battle
us!"
"Umm...what?" Elsa asked a bit confused as she looked at Glaceon
"Don't think the change of clothes, height, and hair color is going to trick us!" The second
grunt yelled out as he pulled forth two pokeballs
"I don't look that old, do I?" Elsa asked Glaceon, the only intelligent being beside herself
"Glace" Glaceon replied in a comforting tone
"Enough! We know not to underestimate the amazing eevee trainer Serenity!" The first frunt
yelled out as he threw forth two pokeballs
"Yeah! You're going down!" The second added as he too threw forth two pokeballs. Elsa
watched a bit skeptical of what pokemon would arise, she was unpleasently suprised when the
four pokemon formed. Each form was a snarling black dog with large horns sticking from their
heads. Houndoom, each one more enraged than the last, biting at the air and growling, its saliva
dripping onto the ground.
"Alright, so it's a battle you want? Ready Glaceon?!" Elsa yelled out throwing her arm up,
Glaceon threw out his legs as he readied to fight.
"Now!" The two grunts yelled in unison, at an instant all four houndoom charged forth at the
girl and her Glaceon. Before either of the two could react, two houndoom were on each. A
houndoom pinned Glaceon down, biting at its leg. A second houndoom dug its sharp teeth into
the pinned pokemons neck, writhing in pain the entire time.
One of the Houndooms leapt for Elsa, instinctively throwing her arm up, it latched its teeth
onto her forearm. A second Houndoom wasted no time in tackling Elsa to the ground, nashing its
teeth at her midsection. Elsa struggled and kicked at the two, but the dogs were very powerful
and kept her down. The two grunts smiled as the dogs attacked. Suddenly a large wave pulse
shot forth, throwing back all the Houndoom. Elsa sat up to see Glaceon standing, blood trickling
down its leg, its fur frozen and standing on end.
"Good job Glaceon!" Elsa yelled out as the four Houndoom grouped back together and circled
the two. Elsa's eyes took on a serious look as she quickly unbuttoned her jacket. A houndoom
sprung forth at the girl, she quickly threw her jacket over its head and pulled it tight, blinding the
dog as it writhed about trying to come free. The jacket's displacement revealed the girl was
wearing a tight black shirt and a short blue skirt.
"What?! You can't do that!" One of the grunts yelled out as Elsa held the bound Houndoom
"You also can't sick your pokemon on a trainer!" Elsa yelled back as Glaceon shot forth an Ice
beam charging at it "You Aqua scum bags! Glaceon! Sheer Cold!"
"Glace!" Glaceon yelled out as it stood still, the air around it lowering in temperatiure
dramatically. The Houndoom all circled around, unsure of what was to happen. Suddenly, Elsa
threw the Houndoom she had bound onto the ground and leapt atop it. Glaceon roared as it
unleashed a huge wave pulse of energy. The ground around it froze over quickly, entraping all
the Houndoom. The frozen ground suddenly began cracking, Elsa quickly leapt off the houndoom
and ran forth, away from the circle of frozen land. In an instant, Glaceon let off a great wave
pulse of energy, the air in a six foot radius freezing over dramatically, the cold was so intense
that the water in the air began freezing. As the pulse stopped, Glaceon stood standing with four
unconscious Houndoom around it, all frozen stiff.
"Wha?! How the...?!" The first grunt said in confusion and fear
"Don't ask, just run man!" The second replied returning his two Houndoom and running as
fast as he could
"Never, ever, come back here" Elsa said in a serious voice as she grabbed her jacket from
the ground, it being frozen solid, blood running down her arm from her bite mark "Or I won't be
as generous"
"Y yes ma'am, absolutely ma'am, sorry ma'am!" The grunt replied as he fell to the ground
bowing for a moment before returning his pokemon and running off after his comrade. The
moment the two were well off into the distance Elsa lifted her arm to look at the bite mark.
"...ow..." Elsa said as she looked at the bleeding bite mark
Serenity Garden Entrance
"Well, you may have beaten me, but don't think you've won!" The Aqua leader said as she
returned some pokemon that had laid before Sly who sat calmly.
"Oh no, she's won against Aqua as she should, but Magma has some more plans up its
sleeves" The Grunt leader replied in a mocking tone aimed at the aqua woman
"What do you mean?" Serenity asked simply as she watched Vapa, her vaporeon, patting
down a small piece of scorched land which still had quite some smoke coming off it
"Haha, you fool! I mean that I have my two grunts going to your lake while I distract you!" The
aqua grunt revealed rather obliviously
"Wait...that's what I was doing" The magma grunt said looking at the aqua woman "Stop
stealing my plans!"
"I didn't steal it, you stole it!" The aqua grunt yelled back
"You're both idiots!" A voice yelled out from the garden as two unconscious magma grunts
were flown out, being held by a Staraptor
"What?!" The two team leaders asked as they turned to see Anna walking forth
"I said you're both idiots" Anna repeated
"I can agree with that" Elsa's voice added as she walked forth from the opposite side
"Who are you two?" The aqua woman asked shooting her head back and forth between the
two
"I have no record of there being two more...are you cops?!" The magma man asked
"It's none of your business who they are" Serenity replied as she looked at the two
unconscious grunts "Are you two okay...Elsa, your arm..."
"It's fine" Elsa replied as she glanced at her arm "I got it dealing with two aqua morons"
"What? No way, you couldn't have..." The aqua leader said in shock looking at the two girls
"I'll say this once, and only once" Serenity said suddenly, her eevelutions walking up behind
her along with her sigilyph "You may now leave and never come back, and we'll forget
everything, or we can call the police, arrest you, and make sure you stay locked up for a very
long time. From what I can tell, there's tresspassing, assault, attempted murder, and attempted
theft of priceless valuables"
"So which is it?" Anna asked crossing her arms. The two team members looked at each
other a moment before running off as fast as they could. Behind them tailed skarmory, barely
able to fly as he lifted the two unconscious grunts.
"..well..that was eventful" Elsa said as she walked forth
"That was pretty amazing" Anna replied with a smile
"I've had quite some reactions throughout my days" Serenity said with a small laugh as she
met the two girls in front of the house "But never have I seen anyone smile after dealing with
terrorist teams"
"It sure beats having to deal with gyms" Anna said happily
"Yeah, that was pretty exciting actually" Elsa added "I like it here"
"So do I" Anna continued
"You know..." Serenity said placing her hands on the shoulders of the two girls "Ever since my
grandson left i've really needed some help around here, and you two said you aren't going to
continue with gyms...so how would you like to stay here?"
Both of the girls grew great smiles as they turned and nodded at the woman. Before either
could say another word however, Serenity continued.
"...But there's one other small problem..." Serenity said looking at the two orphans "May I
adopt you two?..."
