Ash, Dawn and Brock did not know what to do. They expected the tower to be one of the ancient ruins in the desert. There were not supposed to a living thing around here. Nevertheless, Ash opened his mouth to speak. Dawn and Brock hoped that he could say something polite, like introducing themselves. But what came out was truly unexpected.
"Are you human and are you alive?" asked Ash.
Dawn and Brock looked at each other and smacked their foreheads at the same time. They were both thinking the same thing, apart from the strong urge to kill Ash and throw his body to the Cacturnes, -- We are doomed.
However, the person who was standing on the platform instantly changed his frown into a small, but visible smile.
"Ah, yes. I see that you're all adventurers who decided to brave the scorched basins of sand without knowing or preparing for it or it's because you're searching for the village that was supposed to be in a valley?" asked the man.
Ash was surprised that he was both right on his suspicions.
"Both, I guess."
"Care to introduce yourselves?"
"I'm Ash, Ash Ketchum, from Pallet town. This is Dawn and Brock, my friends,"
"Hi," said Dawn nervously.
"Nice to meet you." Brock was more accustomed to meeting people from various places.
"Wait here. I need complete my duties before escorting you into the village."
Having said that, he went outside and took out a old fashioned Pokeball. A Flygon came out and hovered in the air. He nodded once to the Flygon and it took off in the air. It beat its wings quickly and whipped up a magnificent sandstorm, much to Ash's, Dawn's and Brock's amazement. Dawn had already took out her pink pokedex to check on Flygon.
"Flygon. Dragon and Ground-type pokemon. It whips up sandstorms with powerful beat of wings. Known as the 'desert spirit' Evolve form of Vibrava."
Just then, Ash and Dawn heard a voice emanating from everwhere around them.
"The ones have come. Let us rejoice. For the land will be rid of insanity from greed and power." it said.
They both looked around and found no one except themselves, Brock and the man, who was returning the Flygon back to his pokeball. But what was sure was that they were not mad.
"Did you hear that?" said the both of them at the same time.
"You could hear it too?" They pointed at each other.
"Then I'm not mad!" Both sighed in relief.
"Hear what?" asked Brock, bewildered by his two good friends' actions.
"He can't hear it, Dawn," said Ash, disappointed.
"Oh my," exclaimed Dawn.
"You mean the desert song?" said the man, walking back inside while a ferocious sandstorm was raging outside.
"What's the sand storm for?" asked Ash.
"To prevent unnecessary things from coming here. No, I don't mean you all." He quickly added.
"Does Flygon's have lyrics in it?" asked Dawn, wanting to sastify her curiousity.
"No," said the man, "but people had listened to stories about the desert songs with lyrics. Could you tell me about it, Ash?"
"The ones have come. Let us be happy. For the land will be rid of insanity from greed and power. Um, that's about it."
"Not 'be happy', Ash, it's 'rejoice', remember?"
"Hmm, intriguing. Oh my, in my haste, I've forgotten to tell you about my name. I'm Jack."
"Nice to meet you, Jack."
"Let's go to the village, shall we? Follow me."
Jack asked them to stand on the platform which they saw came up from earlier. He muttered a string of indecipherable words and it plunged straight down, while another slid into its place on top.
A/N: Flygon's pokedex reference is found at serebii .net dppt pokedex. I don't want to be a evil teen who keeps typing "BWAHAHA---" on my A/N, but review please. Ten seconds worth of words could mean a lot to me.
