THIS IS MY THIRD TIME HAVING TO RE-TYPE THIS! IF THIS ATTEMPT FAILS, I'M GOING TO SCREAM!

"So what do you want us for?" Chikorita asked Dusknoir.

"There is an evil trio out to destroy all of Johto: Tyranitar, Noctowl, and Ursaring." said Dusknoir. This was no surprise to me, nor were Croconaw and Chikorita faintly interested. "They want to steal the powers of all of Johto's Legendary Pokemon so they can make themselves the Supreme Rulers of Johto." THAT'S what got them interested.

"But why should we believe Dusknoir?" Croconaw asked. "He's a Ghost Pokemon." (Um...if that came off as racist to anybody, I deeply and sincerely apologize. Remember, racism is wrong.)

"Because I've been hunting them down for three months." Dusknoir said, while showing us a Police Detective Badge.

"So you work for Wigglytuff?" I asked Dusknoir.

"Not necessarily; I came here all the way from Sinnoh. Back there, Chatot is the boss." (CHATOT IS THE LEADER OF THE SINNOH POLICE! I can't really figure out if that's good or bad.)

"Wow, so you must be really strong." Croconaw said, rather impressed at how high-ranked Dusknoir was.

"I am the top lieutenant at Sinnoh HQ." said Dusknoir.

"Well, I don't mean to brag, but in Kanto, I'm pretty high-ranked myself." I said to Dusknoir.

"Congratulations." he said sarcastically. (Heh, he's funny. I like him.) "Now, I need you and your unconscious friends to find and defeat these rogues from disturbing the natural order of time and destroy all life as we know it."

"Hey, if I saved the world from Mewtwo, I can handle these new evil guys, right?" I asked everyone, who were kind of confused. (Oh, I forgot to mention: This fic contains spoilers for "The Wrath of Mewtwo". If you haven't read that fic for whatever crazy reason, STOP READING AND GO READ THAT ONE FIRST! But be sure to come back here when you're done :D) "About a month before I came to Johto, Togepi, Team Elite, and I fought an evil, psychotic killer named Mewtwo, who wanted to become the strongest Pokémon in the world so he could overthrow the Pokémon World." I explained to my friends.

"Oh!" everyone said in unison.

"So, what do we have to beat into next week?" I asked. (*chuckles to myself* I forgot the hilarious terminology used in this fic. I think I might surprise myself this time around.)

"Well, I assume that Ariados was an assassin hired by Tyranitar, Noctowl, and Ursaring to try and kill all of you so you guys wouldn't get in their way," said Dusknoir. "So I assume there are more out there, just waiting to strike." (You do a lot of assuming, Dusknoir. How dare you call yourself a detective! Hmmm...)

"I think I might know one of the assassins. He goes by the name Meowth. He was hired by Mewtwo to help him take over the world; I have very good reason to believe that Meowth is involved in some way."

"Good. So all you have to do is find this Meowth person and get him to tell you what they're up to, stop those three monsters, and basically save Johto." said Dusknoir.

"Good, but we may need to wait until Togepi and Cyndaquil are completely healed." said Croconaw.

"Or we could just take Cyndaquil and leave Togepi hear on her own." said Chikorita. (I really have to blame myself for this atrocity: all I wanted was to add spice to an already established romantic sub-plot; what I got was a waste of a character.)

"Chikorita, like it or not, we have to treat Togepi as our own teammate, at least until this adventure is over." said Croconaw.

"Fine, but as soon as this mission is over, I'm tossing her off the edge of a cliff." Chikorita said which resulted in her getting a dirty look from me, which she understood very well. (WHY? Why did I do this to you, Chikorita? You did not deserve this kind of flanderization!)

"Yes well, good luck anyway." Dusknoir said as he floated away from the camp.

"By the way, when will those two wake up?" I asked Chikorita.

"They'll wake up in the morning, good as new." she said, which had me wondering about if she was telling the truth.

"You better be telling the truth." I warned her.

"Trust me, when it comes to the safety of others, I don't kid around." said Chikorita. (At least 13-year-old me had the decency to give her honesty. I'll give myself that merit.)

I had gotten back in my sleeping bag and tried to go to sleep, and for the first time in a while, I didn't have a single vision. Not one vision of anything. Okay, maybe there was one.

Noctowl was talking to someone who seemed to be more evil than Mewtwo (as if that was even possible). (Hey, Mewtwo was more misguided than evil...He was also an extremist, but he learned his lesson...sort of.) He seemed pleased with something. Then I remembered something: Tyranitar kept talking about someone he and Ursaring called 'the boss'. Even Noctowl said he was serving someone with 'the Power of the Dark Realm' as he called it.

"Master, we have found out how to find Celebi. Soon all the power in Johto will be yours." said Noctowl.

'Yours'? Were Noctowl, Ursaring, and Tyranitar just pawns in a much bigger game? If so, then it seems that we have a much bigger problem on our hands.

I don't know what was worse about this chapter: Chikorita's horrible characterization, Pikachu's narrative in his dream sequence, or the fact that this is my third re-write this evening.

T'S PAST MIDNIGHT RIGHT NOW! I'M TIRED AND I JUST CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! REMEMBER TO REVIEW, AND GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!
