Chapter 1: Color Scheming
It is around fifty years after the battle with Deoxys and the Beast Masters, and life has returned to normalcy in the wake of those events, but the memories of the brave kids who sacrificed themselves have almost been forgotten...but not entirely.
A mysterious figure wearing a long, purple jacket with her hood up walked along a meadow that was once rumored to have been the place of an elaborate Pokémon battle facility. There was evidence to support this, because there where ruins of the building sticking up from the ground here and there…but there was also something else…something the person came looking for in the first place. It was night, so no one would likely notice the figure lurking around in the shadows, the perfect time to look for something in an "off-limits" area. The person silently and slowly walked through the grass, their head was moving in a way that appeared to be scanning the ground before them…the figure stopped then kneeled down to inspect something on the ground…because of this the hood pulled back a little, allowing the pale moonlight to reveal the face of a young lady around the age of eighteen.
"Ah-ha, there you are." The lavender haired girl had found what she was looking for. She quickly looked over the surface of where she stood with her grayish blue eyes to be certain, she grinned…she had found what she came for. It was a partially buried full-figure statue, a statue of a boy who appeared to be a little younger than herself, he was in a jacket and had spiky hair that was mostly concealed by a hat. "This must be the legendary trainer Red…if he's here then…" she quickly scanned around for other clues, "alright, Pupitar, Bronzong, come on out!" The cloaked girl commanded as she threw two poke-balls from her belt. Out came the two Pokémon, Pupitar, the Hard Shell Pokémon first, followed by the Bronze Bell Pokemon, Bronzong. "Alright, Bronzong, I need you to do something."
"Gooooonnngg? (Yes, ma'am?)" The bell shaped Pokémon rang in response.
"I need you to see if you can detect the presence of four other statues like this one."
"Gooong…goongg…" Without wasting a second more, the Pokémon immediately went to work, its eyes began to glow pink and ripples began to pulse on the ground. "Gong…gooong…GIONG! (I think…I… found something!)" The bell Pokémon gave out a loud ring to signify it sensed something.
"Show us to what you've found, Bronzong. Pupitar, follow us." With that they were led to another spot, this time there was hardly anything revealed in the ground. "Pupitar, carefully dig this dirt up."
"Pupi! (Got'cha!)" The pupa-esque creature started its task by shoveling up dirt with the top of its head, being careful not to damage anything. It continued digging, slowly revealing the face of another boy, about the same age as the last one, this time he had very noticeable spiky hair and he was wearing a heavy jacket.
"That's enough, Pupitar, thanks. Okay, Bronzong, I need you to use Psychic to carefully unearth these two statues and stand them up gently."
"Zonnnnggg…" Her Pokémon's eyes began to glow that familiar pink. It began to perform the task, slowly shaking the figures free from the soil which concealed them. It then easily placed them on the ground.
"This must be…Green. Okay fellas, let's continue our search. Bronzong, did you detect any other statues?" Bronzong nodded (well, as good as a bell can nod anyway) and showed its trainer and fellow Pokémon to the three other locations. They unearthed them all as they went from one trainer to the next. "Alright, one last thing, just place them in a circle, space them apart too." Her Bronzong easily finished the task it was given. "Thank you guys, Bronzong, Pupitar, return!" She recalled her Pokémon to there balls and walked away. "It should be soon. It's almost been fifty since that Pokémon was last seen…and I believe those trainers were among the last to see it. Any time now…it will reveal itself again. I've placed my pieces on the board…I'll just have to see what happens." After whispering her remark the girl walked away, disappearing into the shadows.
The next morning, the area was abuzz with what had happened…someone had broken into the off-limits zone and unearthed five statues that where there. The elderly where the only ones to remember the statues, because the last time they were seen was around twenty-seven years ago, before the Battle Tower collapsed because of an epic battle that took place within it. They adamantly told the mayor of the town that the statues should not be buried, for they were the only memory left of the greatest trainers from yester year. After giving it deep thought, the mayor agreed and let them stay, but he did have the holes filled back in, so as not to ruin the landscape. The same mysterious girl from the night before was watching the news, she frowned at what she saw, there where several spectators around the freshly dug up statues…they might interfere with her plans.
"This won't do at all…all those people will scare the Pokémon from even showing up…that cannot happen. They'll ruin everything." She clenched her fists, she was waiting for something to happen, and only she knew what that was…but it defiantly wasn't going to start unless those people where gone, of that she was certain. She finally calmed down, "Sigh…Dusclops." She sighed heavily as she called for her ghostly Pokémon. It came forth, it was a large, mummy looking Pokémon with a single menacing eye in the middle of its head. "I need you to remove the audience…I don't intend to put on a show for them. Oh, and don't hurt anyone while you scare them off, alright?"
"Dusk…clops… (As you wish…milady…") The creeper disappeared, it went to perform its trainers task.
