Pokemon XD: The Resurrection

Chapter 1 part 2

After the first disbandment of Team Snaggem, the older boy, named Wes decided to stay in Agate Village in his own house near his friend, Rui. He was wearing his blue jacket with black pants and wearing his trademark Snag Machine on his arm. He wore goggles on his white hair, and on his face was a white line below his amber colored eyes. His two pokemon, Espeon and her brother Umbreon were sleeping contently in Wes' room on his bed. In the den, Wes was watching TV. Ever since his Shadow Pokemon adventure, he's been quite bored. No interesting battles, no new adventures, nothing.

"I wonder what Rui's up to...I'm bored outta my skin..." Wes said. He headed for the door, but he heard the sound of a sonicboom outside. In Wes' room the sound of the sonicboom had made Espeon's tail perk up and Umbreon's lights flicker. They woke with a start, and worried that their owner may have been hurt, they rushed from his room and headed to the door.

--

Outside, Wes was trying to find the source of the sonicboom. He saw the delivery Dragonite at his door. Wes gave a smile and Dragonite handed him his mail. Dragonite flew off in a flash, leaving another sonicboom as it soared into the skies. Espeon and Umbreon came outside and saw Wes was in no harm.

"Morning Espeon, Umbreon. How're ya doin?"

"Espe!" (Morning to you too!)

"Umbre! (Where's breakfast? I'm hungry..)

"Hungry are ya? Come on inside i'll get you some breakfast." Wes smiled and walked inside with them.

--

Minutes later, after Breakfast, Wes decided to read the letter. It was the same as the letter Davis received, Sealed with a pokeball and addressed to:

Agate Village

To Wes.

After reading he thought this was a new opportunity to meet new people and battle some tough pokemon. Espeon and Umbreon seemed excited too, they haven't had a challenge in a while.

"Espe, Espe!" (Oooh! Battle tournament! Sounds like fun huh, bro?)

"Umbreon!" (Of course! An actual challenge sounds cool enough!)

"So you guys wanna accept the offer? I know you do, dont'cha?" Wes asked teasingly.

"Espeon!"

"Umbreon!"

They both said meaning:

(Yes! Yes! A million times, Yes!!)

"I knew it. I guess we can get Rui and head out."

"Espe!" (Yay! Rui's coming!)

They all headed out to pick up Rui and head out.

At Rui's grandparents' house, a giant tree in the center of the green village, Rui sat watching TV. She was about Wes' age and height, with blue eyes and long orange hair in a ponytail. She wore a purple jacket and a black shirt underneath with a necklace shaped like a crescent moon. Rui was bored and alone. Her grandparents had gone out while she was sleeping, so she had no idea where they were.

"I am so bored...what's Wes doing? I should call and talk to him..." But before she got to the phone, there was knock at the door.

"Coming!" She eagerly dashed for the door hoping Wes would answer. Sure enough, there he stood, with Espeon and Umbreon at his side. Unable to control her excitement, she embraced Wes in a tight bear hug.

"Uhm...o..k. Random..." Wes was confused as to why she did that. They see each other almost every day.

"Sorry.." she let go of him. "I'm just bored, I want something to do.."

"Well, this'll cheer you up!" He held out two passes that he got from the letter earlier. Rui perused the letter carefully.

"Battle tournament...XD Zone?"

"Yep. Wanna come?" Wes asked her.

"But I don't have pokemon...I can't come..."

"I know, in the letter I got, they had a guests pass...it's like they knew you wanted to come..."

"Uh...sure. Hold on a sec." Rui went upstairs for a minute and came back down with a letter. She placed it on the table for her grandparents to read upon their return.

Dear Grandpa and Grandma,

I have once again decided to travel with Wes. When you return I'll be gone, but when you read this, be assured I'm safe and sound.

Sincerely, Rui.

"Ok, Wes. let's go." Rui walked out of the door, followed by Wes.

--

Outside, Wes and Rui stood outside of the tree while Wes reached for a pokeball. Just then, the sound of Lugia's song could be heard in the skies.

"Huh?" Wes looked up and saw Davis' elegant Lugia soaring in the skies above.

"No way...is that really Lugia?" Rui asked in awe.

Umbreon and Espeon weren't so surprised. I mean, Wes owned Ho-oh so it wasn't new to them.

"Maybe its rider is headed to the battle tournament too..." Wes finally found the ball he was looking for.

"Wes, how do you know Lugia has a rider?" Rui asked.

"Lugia won't just fly around here for no reason. It's not its element. Lugia normally would fly around near the ocean somewhere. Some skilled trainer must…have…wait a minute! Rui! I know who that is!"

"Really?! Who?" She asked excitedly.

"Think back to last year! Remember when Snaggem and Cipher came back?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Think! After it all ended! The news report about the apprehension of Greevil! Remember? The boy who wore another snag machine? They said the mysterious shadow that took the SS. Libra was a strange-colored Lugia!"

"Oh yeah! They said he had captured it and was gonna bring the light in its heart back himself!"

"Yep! That's him!" Wes said. "Let's see if we can catch him!"

He looked at Umbreon and Espeon with a look of sadness."Sorry guys, you're gonna have to go into your pokeballs for a while." He said to Umbreon and Espeon.

"Espe!" (That's ok! We'll see you when you land!)

"Umbreon!" (Yeah! Don't be so sad...It's not that big a deal, really...)

"Ok, return!" Wes returned Espeon and Umbreon to their pokeballs, and placed them on his belt. "Ho-oh! Come on out!" Wes threw his pokeball containing Ho-oh, and climbed on. He held out his hand to Rui to help her up.

"Ok Ho-oh! To the sky!" Wes yelled excitedly. Ho-oh Happily flew toward the sky leaving a glittery trail behind it.

Above in the sky, Davis soared the skies contently on Lugia's back.

Just then, Davis felt the air get warm around him. The sound of wings flapping and the cry of a bird pokemon was heard. Davis looked up and saw a wonderful sight before his eyes. Although he couldn't recognize, Ho-oh was flying above him in a gold blur, glitter trailing behind it.

"Wow...that is awesome." Davis was in awe...
