Sinnoh Rewritten

Lucas and Dawn waited outside of the building for Zeke to catch up to them. It wasn't like Zeke to run off, but he said he had an errand to run.

Lucas opened his journal and jotted down a few notes. Dawn was playing the Catch game on her Pokètch.

Lucas looked up from his journal. "Zeke has never taken this long to do something. Do you think we should go and look for him?"

Dawn looked at Lucas like he was crazy. "You're kidding, right? This is Zeke we're talking about. He'll turn up."

Dawn and Lucas waited for another five minutes before standing up. "I'm going to go look for him."

Dawn shrugged. "OK, but I'll stay here and watch our things."

Lucas started walking into the forest nearby to look for Zeke when a call came from his old Pokènav. He flipped it open, and to his surprise, saw a Galactic commander.

"If you want to see your friend alive, you'll come to the clearing and give up all your Pokèmon," the commander hissed. He hung up.

Lucas was taken aback. My Pokèmon or my friends?

Lucas stepped forward into a rocky plane and frowned. He felt a tremendous power nearby.

Lucas shuffled through his pack and took out the Azure Flute. He brought it to his mouth and began to play. With almost no effort, he played a beautiful and mystical melody. When he finished, a glowing staircase appeared before him. He started to run up the stairs.

When Lucas reached the top stair, he bent down for breath. When he looked up, he saw Arceus sleeping at the end of a glass hallway.

Lucas stepped up to Arceus. He lifted his hand, and Arceus's eyes snapped open....

Lucas woke up to find himself in a clearing. "Wh…What happened?"

Zeke yelled from nearby, and Lucas ran towards his voice.

The commander, whose name was Saturn, smiled evilly at him. "Well, well. Welcome, Lucas. We've been expecting you."

Lucas's eyes narrowed. "Enough talk. Let's fight." Even as he threw a Pokèball, a Golbat was already facing him.

Lucas's Grotle appeared and glared. It rushed into the Golbat without being told, and the Golbat returned with a Bite. The teeth clamped down on Grotle's shell. But Lucas was too smart for it. "Rapid Spin!" Lucas yelled, and Grotle spun rapidly. Golbat's grip loosened, and it flew off of Grotle's shell and into a nearby wall that Zeke was tied to. Concrete fell on it as a result of the impact.

Saturn threw a Void Ball to reveal a Skuntank. It immediately sprayed Smog in Grotle's direction. Grotle jumped out of the way, but only just. Grotle slammed into Skuntank with a Rapid Spin, but not much damage was inflicted to Skuntank's thick hide.

Skuntank sprayed Poison Stings towards Grotle, who barely dodged. Grotle slammed into Skuntank again, but Skuntank reared back and clawed at Grotle. The claws sunk into Grotle's skin with a sickening rip.

Lucas thought fast. "Razor Leaf!" he instructed, and leaves flew from the small bushes on Grotle's shell. The leaves barraged Skuntank, who was just barely still standing. A Rapid Spin fixed this problem.

In a few minutes, Lucas and Zeke were standing outside of the forest. They walked back to Lucas and Dawn's waiting spot and gasped.

Dawn was gone.

Saturn threw a Void Ball to reveal a hot fudge sundae. He slapped his head.
