James was napping under a large palm tree as his Pokémon grazed about Amity Square. His six Pokémon were Tyranitar, Donphan, Feraligatr, Charizard, Torterra, and his Dragonite. James had just beaten the Elite Four and wanted some time with his Pokémon to just relax and play with them. His Torterra had nestled right next to him and started to sleep when Feraligatr and Charizard were at it again. James opened a crystal blue eye to see what the two were doing. Charizard had taken Feraligatr's Oran berry and eaten it. For some reason, besides the fact the two were completely different Pokémon types, the two Pokémon hated each other. James sighed and got up brushing off his black windbreaker and patted Torterra's head.

"It seems you are the only peaceful Pokémon I have Torterra." James walked up to the two giant Pokémon that were snapping at each other's necks, "Hey! What are you two doing?" Shouted James at the two, causing people to watch. Feraligatr turned to him and shot a small spray of water at James. James dodged the water attack and threw Feraligatr's Pokéball at him, trapping him in the small blue sphere. He looked over at Charizard and raised his Pokéball, "You want some as well?" all of a sudden, Feraligatr popped out of his Pokéball and shot a water gun attack at the two, "What the-" James was cut off as he was shot down with a blast of ice cold water and knocked to the ground. Charizard dodged the attack and shot a Flame thrower at the blue Pokémon. Feraligatr was hit by a column of fire and was knocked back several feet. Feraligatr used Hydro Cannon and shot a missile sized water column at Charizard. Charizard countered with Blast Burn, making fire shoot up from the ground and form into a column of fire at the attack. The two attacks collided and exploded into an array of steaming embers surrounded by droplets of water, all twinkling under the bright sun. James got up rubbing his head and pointed at Dragonite.

"Dragonite, use Thunderbolt on Feraligatr and Charizard!" He yelled at his Pokémon. Dragonite complied and charged up his Thunderbolt as flames and water escaped from each other, setting Amity Square into chaos. People and Pokémon were running for the park exits, trying to escape the two Pokémon rivals. Dragonite released the Thunderbolt, letting go of two separate electrical charges that hit each one, making them glow in a bright yellow electrical aura. Feraligatr and Charizard both crashed to the ground, their bodies twitching as electricity ran up and down them. A police officer ran up to James weapon in hand and Growlithe by her side.

"Oh hi officer Jenny." James smiled as he took out his poke balls and retrieved his Pokémon.

"Sir, you are under arrest for destruction of city property and disrupting the peace." She pointed her gun at him.

James sighed, turned around and put his hands over his head. Officer Jenny put her gun in her holster and took out her handcuffs, "You know you caused a lot of damage right?" she asked as she cuffed him.

"Can't be that bad." James looked around. Trees were on fire, the ground looked like Tyranitar had just rampaged, and Pokémon and people that were injured were being taken to the hospital, "Well shit." He said as he was being walked through the entrance.

"Yea, how do expect to pay for all of this damage?" She asked as they passed through the gate and advanced towards her car.

"Well, I did just beat the Elite Four and won several million Pokédollars." James smiled sheepishly at her, "I think I can manage." He told her as she opened the squad car.

"Really now, say that to the judge." She pushed him in and slammed the door behind him. She got in and drove off to the police station. James leaned his head back and sighed. I have the strongest Pokémon right now, yet they act like little kids fighting over a berry. The car stopped in front of Hearthome jail and the officer stepped out and walked to Lloyd's door, opening it for him.

"Come on, hurry up." She said as Lloyd shuffled out of the squad car and she closed the door behind him.

"Thank you officer." He smiled at her as she pushed him forward up the concrete stairs and into the building. She led him down into the processing room and closed the door behind him.

"Okay Thom and Amy, come on in. we have a new one." She shouted. A large man with a small woman, both officers, walked in the room holding boxes and clipboards. The small woman approached him holding a clipboard in hand.

"My name is Officer Amy and we are going to be conducting a physical exam on you. You know, checking if you have any tattoos, scars and things of that sort." She smiled at him. She had green eyes and red hair.

"And what's the big guy for?" James looked up at the muscular officer holding the boxes standing in front of a steel table.

"Oh he's just for security reasons." She smiled even wider and pointed her pen at him, "Take off your shirt and jacket please." Lloyd sighed and zippered off his jacket, took off his white shirt, and exposed his tattooed and scarred body. He had a long tattoo of The Red Chain from his left shoulder wrapping itself around his arm and around his wrist. He as well had two crossed swords tattooed on his right shoulder, and a three large slashes across his back. He also had several more slashes across his chest and abdomen. There was a large slash stretching across the back of his neck, "Wow, you've had your fair share of adventure I believe, huh?" She wrote down all the scars and tattoo locations on her clipboard. Officer Jenny took a step back, staring at his scars.

"What happened to you?" The officer asked.

James turned to her, "This is what happens when you fight a Tyranitar." He lied, rubbing his neck.

"Is that all of your scars?" Amy asked.

"Yea. For now" James crossed his arms, "Can I put my shirt on now?" he asked shivering.

"Yea, go ahead. But you'll need to deposit all of you items into the box Officer Thom is holding." She turned around and patted Officer Thom's shoulder. James put on his shirt and jacket and dug in his cargo pants for his gear. He dropped his Pokétch, his phone, his wallet and his Pokéballs. After that, he had his mug shot taken, ID processed and was thrown in the holding cell until the judge summoned him. He sat next to a man dressed in black clothing with a hood covering his face, with a gold "V" oh his right shoulder. For some reason, the man's presence felt familiar.

"What are you in for man?" James asked the strange man.

"Assault, murder, disturbing the peace." The man chuckled, "How about you friend?"

"Uh, destruction of city property and disturbing the peace." James laughed.

"Your name is James, is it not?" The man asked turning to James.

"Yea, how'd you know?" James stood up and backed away from the man.

"Well," The man stood up and raised his right arm as if he was reaching for something and retracted it slowly, time slowing down.

"What are you doing?" James looked around. He saw an officer paused in mid stride.

"I paused time to tell you something." The man approached him.

"Stay back man! I mean it!" James swung his right arm to punch the man, but the stranger caught his fist and placed his palm over the back of his hand, "Hey! What are you doing! Stop, that hurts!" James cried as the stranger burned his hand.

"You were born to save the world from the Creation Trio." He let go James' hand. James looked down at his hand and saw an odd symbol. It was a large circle with three other circles interrupting the circumference of the main circle. Each of the three circles had an arrow that pointed to the center of the circle, in which there were two smaller circles inside. The symbol was black as night on his skin, and he felt a stinging pain on his hand, "Now wake up." The man slapped James with such force it sent him to the ground.

James snapped awake and sat up.

"Oh my God. What the hell was that?" James ran his right hand through his spiky black hair. He ripped his hand away from his hair and looked at the back of it. The odd symbol was still there, exactly like the one from the dream. For some reason, the symbol felt familiar. He noticed that the ground was moving underneath him. He looked down and saw he was riding his Torterra through Xatu's Forrest back to Twinleaf town. He jumped off and stood in front of his Pokémon and retrieved Torterra's Pokéball from his belt.

"Torterra, return." The large green Pokémon disappeared into the red Pokéball. James threw out his Charizard's Pokéball. The large, orange dragon came out shooting fire.

"Charizard, fly me to Sandgem town." He said as he jumped on the Pokémon's back. Charizard roared and flew off into the air, shooting flames out. Now to go find out what this is all about. James looked down onto his right hand, glaring at the symbol.
