Time trainer 2: The mightiest army
Chapter 10
The smoke cleared and the kids sighed in disappointment when they could no longer see the jet. "Those bastards took the legendaries." Jeremy was enraged and was having trouble breathing. Diana put her hand on his shoulder. "Relax bro, we'll find them." They managed to make it out of the tower and they rested up at the pokemon center. That night before going to sleep rowan set his alarm clock in the room to wake him at 2:00 am. A few hours later rowan woke up, dressed and snuck out the pokemon center. He made a quick transfer exchanging totodile and gastly for ivysaur and charizard. He then threw out charizard and sat on it's back. They began to rise in the cold air. The darkness still wrapped around the world like a snug blanket. Rowan guided charizard as they flew through the skies following the way rowan assumed the jet had flown. They had been flying through the dark for quite some time when rowan saw something on the ground. He directed charizard and they descended. They landed in a large open space. From either side was empty fields, but what had caught rowan's attention was huge. It was the jet. He gasped in shock and crept towards it, in case anyone was still in there. Deciding now was not the time for stealth he told charizard to use dragon rage. He returned charizard and walked in through the hole in the jet. It was dark and it seemed that the jet had been placed to fool any followers. Upon realizing this rowan quickly grew upset. "Shit!" he yelled as he punched the wall of the jet. He turned to leave when he heard a beeping sound inside the jet. He looked and saw nothing. He jumped out and got some walking distance between him and the jet, in an attempt to investigate the surrounding area. From behind him the jet suddenly exploded. Rowan looked back so quickly he felt a sort of whiplash in his neck as he saw the flames go sky high. "Oh man". It was time to leave before anything else happened. He quickly threw out charizard and flew away. A few minutes went by when rowan felt something ripple through the air near them. He turned his head towards the sound. There was nothing. The fears coming up way too much lately made his insides seem to bubble. He looked around once more but only heard a slight whir sound. Then he placed a sound. The steady beating of rotors against the sky. Rowan looked up and sure enough above him and charizard was a helicopter. Inside flashflame looked out at him. Flashflame shot a blast of fire at rowan and charizard that they barely dodged. Rowan told charizard to speed up and soon the clouds began to blur as they flew by. The helicopter was close behind with pot shots of flame coming out every few seconds. Suddenly rowan felt a severe pain on his arm. He looked down and saw a huge burn on his forearm. He yelped in pain as he touched it to examine it. Flashflame cackled in delight as his last shot came from a gun and it had hit charizard in the wing. The bullet ripped through the flesh of charizard's wing. It roared in pain and rage. Rowan, now worried looked back at the helicopter. Charizard began wildly descending as more shots came from the helicopter. Both rowan and charizard fell and crashed into the dirt. Rowan got to his knees and told charizard to try and use dragon rage. The attack hit and the helicopter exploded. Even though rowan was sure flashflame had teleported out that helicopter he wouldn't have to worry about him for a little while. The edges of his vision were darkening and before he gave in the last thing he saw were pieces of the helicopter raining down. By morning both Diana and Jeremy had awoken and upon realizing rowan was gone went looking for him. They checked the way to olivine city but no one there had seen him. They even went so far as to check the huge lake to the east of ecruteak to see if rowan had perhaps attempted to travel to mahogany town. They found nothing and were dispirited when they returned to the pokemon center that night. Meanwhile beyond their knowledge rowan awoke lying down next to charizard. Charizard's breathing sounded odd. As if it were struggling for air. Rowan attempted to staunch the blood coming out of charizard's wing, and then returned it and walked. He spent the entire day walking and by the time night fell he found a small town. Luckily there was a pokemon center and while nurse joy attempted to heal charizard before it bled to death, rowan was forced to go to bed. He had a pounding headache and as soon as he hit the bed he was consumed by sleep. Flashes of his palace flew through his head. The hallways, the cold dark chambers where enemies from other nations were imprisoned. Suddenly he was walking in his palace again. He could feel the cold stone floor beneath his bare feet and got chills as he walked by the pictures of his ancestors. Then the scenery changed. He looked and saw he was in a huge chamber. There were three other people in the room. A young man who resembled him so much he automatically knew him to be rodan, a older woman maybe reaching her fifties with long black hair and streaks of gray mixed in and a small portly man dressed in royal uniform who could only be the adviser to the royal family. Rodan spoke. "Mother this is ridiculous robin is not fit to rule his own quarters why should he be given the crown? He has done nothing but create problems amongst the people of the kingdom. They hate him mother." The older woman looked at rowan and suddenly a deep voice with a British accent came out. Rowan realized he was looking at things from the perspective of the owner of this deep voice. It must have been robin. "Mother, rodan lies to you. There are many people in the kingdom that would rather have me as king simply because I am better. I work while rodan goes to fool around with that vile girl Adrianna. He spends all his time fornicating with her. Beware mother for you may have a grandchild born from peasant trash." Rodan seemed to erupt. "You shut up you bastard. I love her." "I know as do all the people who are nearby while you two fornicate know as well. Rodan suddenly threw himself at his brother. Rodan sat on his brother's chest and continued to pummel him with countless punches to the face. The queen grabbed rodan and pulled him off of robin. There were tears in rodan's eyes as he spat in his brother's face yelling "I hate you." The scene quickly changed again to the day rowan's grandmother died. They had no body but the whole kingdom held a special ceremony in her honor. Once again rowan was looking through robin's eyes. The scene changed once more this time to a dark forest. He saw a haggard old woman walking out of the trees looking at him. She smiled and rowan quickly recognized her as wilda. Wilda was the bitch that had thrown rowan into the future from the year1247. She grabbed robin's hand and then everything went black. Soon he just got flashes. The kingdom finding out about robin's mysterious disappearance, then he saw rodan becoming king, next he saw rodan and rowan's mother Adrianna getting married and finally one last vision for the night. He was no one. Rowan was simply looking at the scene. Rodan was in his study going over plans for the war with the general of the kingdom's army when Adrianna walked in. "rodan rowan cries for you yet again. He does not want my company tonight." Rodan simply waved his hand at her. "He will be fine he's just a child, surely you can silence him can't you?" tears flowed out of Adriana's eyes as she left the room. She walked to a maid that was desperately trying to console a screeching baby rowan. She took her baby and put him to sleep finally. She laid him down on her side of where rodan and her slept. She wrapped up rowan making sure he was warm. She dressed warmly and then asked the maid to watch rowan. Adrianna put on a cloak and walked out into the bitter cold leaving her son's fate to chance. The sobs that shook her body got louder and she began to run away from the damned palace. She eventually made it far away from the kingdom and was in no man's land. Realizing she could never come back. She fell on the ground and in despair she cried and cried for hours. The next morning she was found by enemy soldiers who were unable to identify her. They imprisoned her for years and she wasn't released till the war was over and rodan was found dead. She felt miserable but vindicated. She knew nothing good would come to rodan who was way too obsessed with the war. Now rowan was left parentless and forced to become his kingdom's biggest embarrassment. He was to be a ten year old king. On the night that rowan was made king she stood in the shadows outside the palace watching for any sign of her boy. Unfortunately she did not get to see him. All went white and rowan saw his mother walking somewhere unfamiliar. Then he saw the lab and the windmill. She walked up to the lab and the door opened to reveal Samuel oak, Gary's grandfather open the door. She was let in and she explained herself. She came out from the lab in modern clothes with a belt on her that had pokeballs. She wasn't a trainer she just had pokemon for protection against the unknown lands that stretched out before her. At that moment rowan woke up with tears streaming down his face. He punched the wall of his room in anger and buried his face in his sheets. He seemed to be shaking and finally managed to compose himself. He looked at his clock, it read 7:30. He got up, showered, got dressed and then went to check up on charizard. Nurse joy told him that charizard would be fine but that it needed some rest. Rowan transferred charizard to Gary after explaining what had happened and took back gastly. Rowan was told mahogany town was just 2 miles north from the town he was in. he could be there by midday. He walked in the December air that was blowing around. He remembered that in modern times there were holidays one of which was Christmas had passed just four days ago. He was surprised that modern people like Diana and Jeremy had not gone back home to celebrate with their families. Rowan knew why he never could but they were different. He finally made it to mahogany town where he got blastoise from Gary and surfed over to ecruteak. He found Diana and Jeremy talking to officer jenny outside the performance center. When they saw him they hit him with a barrage of questions and rowan quickly explained. They were going back to the pokemon center when some random kid came out of the gym yelling "morty's back and he wants challengers. Rowan smiled, as he contemplated facing morty for his fourth johto league badge.
