Krika: A new adventure has begun for Team Heroes.

Jakob: This time in the human world.

PM64: And with my character Ryder helping them out...

Ryder: It's about to get real.

Krika: So without further adeu, I don't own Pokemon or Ryder.


Hi there, my name's Jakob, you may remember me when I was on Eternia as a Riolu, I lead the strongest explorers team there was on that continent, Team Heroes. My friends Luke, Zack, and Jim made it all possible that I had the time of my life on Eternia. But what made things more interesting was when I met the legendary Pokemon, Arceus told me that a great evil had re-awakened on Eternia, a great evil known as the Shadow Pokemon. The legendary Pokemon told me that me and my team, as well as four other heroes known as Team Eviolite, were destined to defeat the Shadow Pokemon. And after those events, me and my team were teleported to the human world, what awaits us, I don't know, but it's time for a new journey for Team Heroes.


(Prologue) (Jakob's POV)

I woke up in the middle of the park I was in before I was turned into a Riolu, and it was still night time, "What the? Was it all a dream?", I got up and looked at my surroundings, but then I saw three other kids that were waking up as well, they all looked almost the same age as me, one was wearing a blue hoodie and a pair of blue jeans, he had bright blue eyes and dark blue hair, another was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with a pair of black jeans, he had black hair and brown eyes, and the last one was wearing a red t-shirt with a pair of khaky shorts, he had blood-red hair and dark red eyes, and one thing was going through my mind, Are those kids my teammates?

"Ugh, where the heck are we?", the kid in blue clothing got up and looked around, and I recognized his voice, "L-luke? Is that you?", I asked the kid, he turned around and looked at me, "Jakob? I should be asking the same thing," my eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, it WAS Luke, "Wait, if you're you, than that means," me and Luke looked at the two other kids that started to get up, "Zack, Jim? Are you guys feeling alright?", I asked the two, they nodded in reponse, it was them alright, "Yeah, we're fine, let's not do that again," Jim stated, me and Luke chuckled, "Well, no more teleporting since we're in the human world now," Luke said jokingly, "Wait, what!?", Jim shouted, looking at himself, and he got this face that means he's really excited, "Huh, I guess we got some pretty good clothing," Zack said to all of us, I chuckled a bit, he was right, I was wearing a green hoodie with a pair of light-blue jeans, I had brown hair and green eyes to top it all off, this is going to be one heck of an adventure.


(One Year Later) (Zack's POV)

It has been a year since me and the others have been transported to the human world, and I gotta say, it's pretty awesome, "Woohoo!", oh and I forgot to mention, I gave freerunning a try, and I'm good at it, "Zack, don't push yourself, this may be easy for you, but remember, one false move and it's over," Jakob shouted to me as he was catching up, Jakob was a freerunner in the human world, so he taught me the basics of parkour when we found a place to stay, it's a nice house, two story home, enough rooms for each of us, and big enough for us to train, even though we don't have our abilities anymore, "Oh come on Jakob, it's been a year now, you need to stop worrying," I assured to my team leader, "Yeah, but still, you three still have a lot to learn about the human world," ugh, I hate it when he starts a speech, even though he's my best friend, it's gotten a bit annoying.

"Ugh, why must you always start a speech Jakob? It's gotten old," I joked towards Jakob because he's the only one that can handle my little pranks, "Who said I'd be starting a speech?", Jakob stated, this shocked me a bit, we stopped at the front of the house, we did our rounds of freerunning across the neighboorhood, across, not through, we took the rooftops of the other houses, the other people living here know very well of me, Jakob and the others, we became a bit famous, "I guess we all change a bit in our ways," I told Jakob this because things have been different the past year, "Heh, you're right as usual Zack, now c'mon, let's get inside," I nodded as we walked into the house, and what was odd was that it was quiet, "Um, where's Luke and Jim?", I asked in confusion, Luke and Jim like to hang out at the house, they became black belt martial artists not too long ago, and Luke has a thing with swords, Jim has a thing with pranks, he still has the personality of a Zorua, same goes for Luke and his personality of a Dewott, those two are the troublemakers of the house, "You know them, just keep an eye out for trip wires, who knows what they have planned as a prank."


(Luke's POV)

"Ah man, this is going to be awesome," I was chuckling quietly out of sight from Jakob and Zack's view, me and Jim love to pull prank on those two, we're like brothers, "Just be quiet, I'll get the bucket," Jim crept into his room and came out with a bucket that had water in it, the prank was actually just a classic, one that they'll never see coming, me and Jim like to make elaborate pranks, but some of those pranks ended up back firing on us, "Heh, they'll never see it coming," I said quietly, but then Jakob looked up, "There you guys are, what the heck are you up to this time?", busted, Jakob's always the one that catches on to our tricks, he has a keen sense of sight, smell and hearing, and he's been like this ever since we got to the human world, but he's still the Jakob I knew back on Eternia, "Crap, you got us again Jakob, that's three times this week," Jim said in defeat, he really hates it when one of his pranks don't go as planned, which is why I got in on the pranks.

"You two, I'll never understand you guys," Jakob walked off, leaving all of us with a deadpanned look on our faces, "Okay, and we'll never understand you either Jakob," Zack said in a blunt matter, me and Jim nodded in response, we're still learning about Jakob, but not much, and we all know he's just pulling 'the less you know, the better' crap, and I'm sick of it, he's the one that changed the most, the rest of us barely made any changes in our personalities, "I wonder what made him like this? You think it was after sealing away Shadow Giritina?", Jim said worringly, "I don't know, but something has changed in him though," Zack said, we were all having the time of our lives when we first arrived in the human world, but right now, I'm not even so sure anymore.


(Hidden From Sight)

"I have no idea why I wanted to watched these four, but something's telling me that they're not what they appear to be," a shadowy figure said to himself, "Well, the intel says that the two with the weird hair colors haven't ever been seen before in this area," the shadowy figure looked at his tablet device, and it was acting like a communicator, "Well, the hair color and eye color are odd, but I'm still wondering what the significance of these guys are," the figure on the device shook his head, "You're always like this Ryder, the guy who sticks to the shadows, someone who looks terrifying just by looking at them," the shadowy figure known as Ryder chuckled a bit, "Well, yeah, that's who I am."


(Jim's POV)

"So, what do you guys want to do next?", Zack asked all of us, we're usually the active kind of people, we always find something to do, "I don't know, me and you already did our rounds of freerunning, I just thought we could just hang out here," Jakob answered, I nodded slightly, he and Zack are probably a bit exhausted from all that running and jumping that they were doing earlier, but I'm so bored it's unbelievable, "What about a movie night?", Luke suggested, we all agreed to that, we rarely have a movie night anyway, "Sure, why not?", I said while chuckling a bit, "You better not pull a prank like last time," Jakob warned me, last time we had a movie night, I placed a firecracker in Jakob's popcorn bowl, it didn't go so well, Jakob got burned bad from the prank, and he's still mad at me for that, "Why would I pull a dangerous prank like that twice?", I said stating my innocence, I didn't want to face his wrath the least bit, in fact, none of us would, "Okay, but I'm warning you Jim, if you pull a dangerous prank again, I'll not hesistate to dump water on you while you're sleeping," I mentally sighed, good thing it wasn't going to be anything serious or I would be setting up a security system.

"Alright, got the popcorn ready, and the movie ready," Luke announced to everyone, we got into the living room and sat down, "Alright, but just to make sure there isn't a firecracker in my popcorn bowl this time," Jakob looked in his popcorn bowl for a firecracker, and I told him I wouldn't place a firecracker in his bowl again, or anything else in the matter, "Dude, calm down, there isn't a firecracker this time, I promise you," I assured our team leader, he nodded in response when he was done searching his bowl of popcorn, "Alright, let's start the movie then," Zack said, he played the movie, and I should mention we are watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon, because it's an awesome movie.


(After the Movie) (Jakob's POV)

After the movie was over I started to head to bed, "Goodnight you guys, I'm beat," I said while heading up the stairs to my room, "Goodnight Jakob, see you in the morning," Zack said after me, I nodded in response, I don't know why, but I had this strange feeling that I was being watched by someone, or something, "Hmm, why do I have a feeling me and the guys are being watched?", I said to myself as I was changing into my night clothes, "heh, maybe I'm imagining things, hopefully I don't have another nightmare," I should mention this, but I have been having nightmares, most of them I can't quite make out, but most of them had Shadow Pokemon in them, which has been getting me worried, but I usually shrugged them off as just being nightmares, nothing more, but still, I think something's coming for us, and I should be ready for whatever it is.


Krika: And that's chapter 1 of Heroes Arise: A New Journey.

Krika: Yeah, but not officially, the second chapter will have his appearance to the team.
