Pokemon Go Legends
The Exalted
-Prologue-
It was the final day of construction of the new gyms since the day they were destroyed. During the time, Rain Dance Island was experiencing a period of peace and harmony. Valor trainers researched evolution with the Mystics, Instinct trainers practicing Pokemon battles with the Valors, Mystic trainers gaining invaluable knowledge on incubators and egg hatching techniques from the Instincts. The harmony would not last after that day, as the newly designed gyms would be active, and the struggle for domination of the island would commence once again.
Marleon invited the leaders of the teams for a celebratory party, as a representative of the recently created Team Harmony, he had a friendship with V of Team Instinct, Garrett of Team Mystic, and Rose of Team Valor. The three leaders, however, had their qualms with one another. Marleon hoped having the three of them at the gym would go smoothly.
Rose arrived first, since the Team Valor headquarters was located in Rain Dance City where Marleon's gym was close to. "Hey Marleon! Am I early?", she asked. The gym leader chuckled, "Right on time, it'll probably take the others a while to come since they're on the other side of the island. Come in, make yourself at home!", he invited her in. She brought her Camerupt with her, but kept the Pokemon in her pokeball for the time being. V showed up a little while later, along with a Tyrogue. "Hello, how are we all doing today?", she asked as she was invited in. Marleon smiled, "Just fine here.", he began to say when his Flygon ran over and gave V a hug. "Flygon! Let her breathe, heh...", he spoke as V just smiled and hugged the dragon right back, "Good to see you too, dear."
Garrett arrived right before it got dark, along with his Fearow. "Hope we're not late.", he said, holding a bag full of gourmet desserts from Hydrofoil Town. Marleon shook his head, "Not at all! Come in! Hey Fearow, haven't seen you in a while!", he said. V and her Tyrogue were walking about the gym, she was telling her Pokemon about Marleon's victories. Rose was hanging out with some of Marleon's pokemon, particularly his Glaceon and Red the Gyarados. Garrett and his Fearow went over to the snack table where he set the desserts down, and then began to help himself to a plate. Marleon had a nice selection of treats for the Pokemon as well.
Once everyone was settled, Marleon spoke up, "So I guess this is the last day for harmony then, huh?" There was a brief moment of silence, but V spoke up, "I don't think so. We're doing better now than we used to be." Rose nodded, "Well sure, I think having the pressure off for a while has been great!" "Yeah...", Garrett exhaled. Marleon looked over to him, "You okay?", he asked. The Mystic leader leaned back in his chair, "I mean...it'll take some getting used to when everything picks up again. And I'm expecting the backstabbing and drama to start up all over again." "Now hold on, who do you mean by 'backstabbing'? We always did everything by the book when we battled gyms!", Rose quickly responded. V shook her head, "He meant me, Rose. Not you.", she responded. Garrett tensed up, "I didn't mean-", but Rose crossed her arms, "Oh cry me a river! I know the two of you are just going to gang up on me again!"
Marleon cleared his throat, "Settle down, everyone. We're not here for this. It's supposed to be a party, remember?", he spoke calmly. The trio went silent, Garrett munching on his snacks; V idly twiddling her fingers; Rose closing her eyes and mentally planning her next words. Marleon could feel the tension in the building. "Hey, I have an idea.", he said. "Why don't we learn more about each other? I'd like to know about how the three of you became Pokemon trainers." The three looked over, then to one another. "Well?", Marleon asked them. "I suppose we could...", V spoke. Rose nodded, "Sure, why not." Garrett looked to Fearow, and then reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny blue feather. The bird's eyes locked onto the feather. Marleon looked over at the two of them, "Want to start us off, Garrett?", he asked.
The Mystic leader held the feather in his hands, and began. "It all began with a gym battle..."
