Chapter 2

Jade Crystal

Rex's POV

"Grr... Only teams allowed for below eighteens... I will show them... I'll find someone else to form a team with... Saber is not old enough either, he would have come otherwise...," I mutter to myself as I walked along the path from the Roped Forest to Town Square.

I then noticed a Charmander sleeping in the middle of the path. I went over and woke him up.

"Hey, you wanna sleep? Go sleep in your house or the lodges or something", I said, shaking him hard. The Charmander woke up groaning,"Where am I? What was that dream?"

"You are in Aloma region's Forentica Village," I said.

"Wow, a talking Larvitar," he said," A talking giant Larvitar."

"Hey, I'm average size. You are a bit tall for a Charmander though."

"Huh? A Charmander? Who?"

"You. Duh."

He looked at me, confused."I'm a human."

"Uh... No, you're a pokemon. Where the heck are you from?"

"I'm from...," he looked confused again,"That's weird... I don't remember... I don't remember anything."

I didn't really believe that was a human. I mean, only two humans have ever turned into a pokemon and that was so that they could save world. The first guy helped destroy a meteorite that threatened the safety of the whole world. I wasn't sure what the other guy did. He lives in another region, for Arceus' sake.

"Are you sure you are human? You really look like a Char..." I was interrupted by a green figure screaming,"Help! Somebody help me!"

"Saber, what's the problem?"I asked.

"The rock... It's gone... Stolen by some Ariados..." replied Saber, the Treecko.

"You mean... THE JADE CRYSTAL GOT STOLEN?" I screamed. "That's bad... Plain bad..."

"By an Ariados... I defeat a friggin' Ariados..." said Saber.

"Uh... What's going on here?" asked the Charmander.

"The Jade Crystal is an item which powers up Celebi. If a poison type steals it, Celebi might die. If that happens, the whole of Forentica Forest Region will wither."

"Who's he?" asked Saber.

"I'm Charlie."

"I'm Rex, and this is Saber. Hey will you help us defeat the Ariados? You being a fire type and all..."

"Uh... Sure!" said Charlie.

We headed off to Spinara Forest, where Saber lost his Jade Crystal.
