Third Chapter! The Dex Holders appear here. This takes place after the Emerald Saga, before the HG/SS saga. I'm not really planning on having any shippings in here. If I do, they won't be you know. Uh, overly romantic. I'm not good with that kind of stuff. Anyways, please review and enjoy! I have sprites of the Pokegods I've listed in this chapter, you can find them on my Deviantart account: chanchimi, and you can find Hifishi's sprite and information by searching for it on Google. =)

"Professor Oak?" Misty had left the Gym and headed to her house to call Professor Oak to ask him about the mysterious fish that attacked the man's son.
"Hello. Who is this?" Professor Oak answered, he sounded very occupied.
"This is Misty. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Professor, but I have something important to ask you."
"Listen Misty, I apologize, but I'm working. The information I'm gatheri" Professor Oak was explaining until Misty suddenly cut him off.
"Hifishi. Have you ever heard of it?" Misty asked. She was going to get an answer from him, whether he wanted to give one or not.
"Hifishi? Misty I…" Misty cut him off again.
"Professor Oak, please, I know you have work to do, but you've got to help me out now. I'm sorry." Misty wasn't going to quit.
"No, it's not that, Misty. The research I'm working on, it has to do with Pokegods."
"What? Pokegods?" Misty didn't have a clue as to what he meant by Pokegods.
"Pokegods. As in, Pokemon of myth, legend, and lore. Pokemon like Hifishi." Professor Oak said sternly as Misty listened carefully. "I've found recent records of sightings of a few of these Pokegods. Sightings of Rainer, Charcolt, Sapusaur, and even Hifishi. I've even heard of a sighting of Dreamaster.
"Wait, someone else saw Hifishi? Wait. So it really was Hifishi! But it's just a legend, isn't it?" Misty felt like her mind was going to explode, what was he talking about?
"These Pokegods are dangerous. They have been causing havoc in the Kanto region as of late." He added.
"They have? How come I haven't heard of anything about these "Pokegod" attacks?" Misty said.
"No one is supposed to know about them. That is why." There was a long silence after he said that. Then, he continued. "They need to be dealt with, and as it just so happens…. All ten of the Pokedex holders are in Kanto."
"Maybe they can defeat them." Misty said, this time with a hint of happiness in her tone. "I'm coming over to your lab. Do you mind?" She asked. "I want to know more about these Pokegods. Like the other ones you were talking about."
"I'll explain once everyone is here." Profess Oak said, then hung up the phone. "For our sake, for the sake of everyone. They must defeat them…. Or we'll all be killed." Oak said quietly to himself.
- In Victory Road-
"Thunderbolt!" Red yelled out to his electric-mouse Pokemon, Pikachu. The Pikachu's thunderbolt hit a wild Onix, causing incredible damage. Red was training his Pikachu to be able to hurt rock-types, despite electric-attacks being non-effective. "Now, finish it off with slam!" His Pikachu then proceeded to slam it's tiny body against Onix's, cracking it's rocky body, knocking it out cold.
"Alright, Pika! Not even rock Pokemon stand a chance against you now!" Red praised his Pokemon. "Hmm. What's this?" Red felt a rumble coming from inside his right pocket, where he kept his Pokedex. "Oh. Professor Oak is calling." Red opened his Pokedex to talk to him. "Hey! What's up?"
"Red. This is important, I need you to come over to my lab as soon as you possibly can. I've already called Green to come, as well. While your on your way, could you call the others also and tell them to come?" Oak asked, he seemed agitated. Red could tell. "Yeah sure. I'll be there soon." Red replied, then ended the conversation. He turned to Pika. "Well, Pika, Professor Oak needs us, so we'll just have to continue our training later."
"Chu!" Pika replied, you could tell he was happy to take a break.
Within a few hours, Red, Blue, Green, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived at Prof. Oak's lab. Misty had also made it there as well. Crystal came the quickest because she had been running an errand for Oak nearby.
"Great, everyone is here, now." Prof. Oak said, satisfied.
"Um. Not everyone." Crystal said.
"What? They is ten of you, and you're all here!" Prof. Oak was obviously upset. He had been very stressed lately.
"Yellow isn't here." Green stated. However, once he said that, there was a bang on the door and Yellow flung it open, and then fell face first into the floor.
"Ow." Yellow was covering her face with her hands due to the pain. She then immediately stood up, then slipped as soon as she got up and fell backwards. "Ah!"
Everyone just stared. "What an entrance!" Gold said laughing. Misty laughed as well, she didn't like Yellow very much.
"I give it a ten!" Yelled Emerald.
Yellow managed to get up off the floor this time, without falling. "Ouch…. Ah! I'm sorry! I'm late! When Red called me to come over here, I got ready and everything, but the next thing I knew, I fell asleep!" Yellow screamed quickly.
"Fixing you sleeping problem is going to need to become a liability…." Green said, while rubbing his forehead, in annoyance.
"Yes. Well. Now that you are all here (finally), I must explain to you something of great importance." Oak spoke to the others sternly. "I doubt any of you have ever heard of Pokegods. Pokegods are similar to that of legendary Pokemon, only they are far more powerful, and extremely dangerous. Like legendaries, they are not found nor seen often. They are more myth than reality." Oak then motioned to a projector against the wall. "Here, you will see some artist renditions of a few Pokegods." He began the slideshow and shut off the lights. "First, we have Charcolt. A fire-type Pokegod, the godly evolution of Charizard."
Red raised his hand.
"…. Yes, Red?" Oak said, not amused.
"Your saying Charizard has an evolution?" Red questioned.
"Yes. There is even an evolution to Venusaur and Blastoise." He continued to show pictures. "This is Rainer, the evolution of Blastoise, and Sapusaur, the evolution of Venusaur."
"Wait, so how does a Venusaur evolve, when it is fully evolved already? I'd like to know, because I bet a Sapusaur would be really tough…." Red interrupted.
"Red! Enough! Just let me finish!" Red quickly quieted down, but you could tell he really wanted to know the answer. "Normal Pokemon do not evolve into Pokegods. For example, only one Venusaur will have ever evolved into Sapusaur, because it has been chosen to do so."
"Chosen? By who?" Blue asked.
"We don't know…." Oak said, quietly.
"Who's this we?" Sapphire butted in.
"All of us professors can't figure it out. It's a mystery." Oak replied. "Regardless, these Pokegods are evil. They're goal is to kill those they come into contact with."
"Hold up! So are the Pokegods really gods? Are they almighty or something? Or are they just Pokemon on steroids?" Gold asked.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID LITTLE LOSER FACE!" Oak blurted out.
"Whoa." Gold was practically speechless, like everyone else. That was weird, definitely not Oak behavior.
"No, they are not gods. They are simply incredibly strong Pokemon that have power comparable to what a god's power would be. " Oak responded, suddenly very calm….
"Professor Oak, didn't you say something about another Pokegod, named Dreamaster? What about Hifishi?" Misty asked.
"Ah, yes. Dreamaster is the evolution of Hypno. Hifshi…. We are not entirely sure. We believe it to be an ancient Pokegod." Oak answered.
"What do you want us to do about it?" Silver spoke up.
"Destroy them. You Pokedex holders are the only one's that can do it." Oak said. "I'm going to put you in teams of two, as there are five Pokegods with known whereabouts at this time." He turned his attention to everyone. "Red and Ruby will be going to fight Sapusaur."
Red and Ruby looked at each other. They were never paired up before and didn't know too much about one another, but they didn't ask questions.
"Green and Emerald will fight Charcolt."
Green didn't seem to mind his partner, but Emerald felt uneasy about him.
"Silver and Crystal will fight Rainer"
This was fine for them. They worked together well in the past.
"Yellow and Gold will fight Dreamaster"
Gold seemed happy to be teamed with Yellow, but she wasn't too sure about him.
"Blue and Sapphire will handle Hifishi."
Blue and Sapphire didn't mind but were both wondering why Oak had picked such random match-ups.
"What about me?" Misty asked.
"Oh, yes, Misty, you will head back to Cerulean City, and ensure no one finds out about Hifishi." Oak said.
"What? I should fight…." Misty replied, slightly disappointed.
"Good. Alright then, Sapusaur was seen in the Viridian Forest, Charcolt near Cinnabar Island, Rainer by Seafoam Islands, Dreamaster near Tojo Falls, and Hifishi, of course, in the Cerulean Cave." Oak announced. "Alright, get going."
The Dex holders and Misty left promptly. As everyone left the lab, Green walked over to Red and whispered to him, "Something is wrong with my Grandfather. I'm not sure what is going on, but we need to be careful." Then he left for Cinnabar Island with Emerald.
"Okay, Ruby, Viridian Forest isn't too far from here, so let's get rolling!" Red said, very upbeat.
"Why did it have to be in a forest? There's going to be a bunch of ugly bug Pokemon…." Ruby replied then sulked behind Red.
"Senior Yellow! I'm excited to see this Pokegod, Dreamaster! I'm also happy to be paired with you!" Gold said.
"Ah…. There's no need to be formal. You can just call me Yellow." Yellow said back to him.
"Hm, shall we get going?" Silver asked Crystal.
"Yeah…." Crystal answered. She was thinking about the Professors behavior. It was quite strange.
"Sapphire, do you have a flying Pokemon to get to Cerulean?" Blue questioned.
"Yup! I got me a Tropius!" She replied, and then they took to the skies.
Once everyone left, Prof. Oak spoke to himself.
"Haha…. Those Dex holders are so willing to fight, I don't have to work hard to persuade them at all. Our enhanced Pokemon…. Our Pokegods will surely rid of them once and for all! Ha, ha!" Professor Oak (Or was it?) laughed maniacally.
