Miles away in a secluded area the legendary bird Ho-Oh sat pensively in a tree. There wasn't enough pokemon in the world and yet . . . .

Mew and Mewtwo said that this would change with time. Soon the world would be inhabited with pokemon all around the world. They even sent their youngest daughter out in the world to fulfill a task so enormous that it was impossible. There was no way that she could catch every single pokemon. It was only possible to get a single pokemon but more of the same type captured was ridiculous unless you want to have a breeding pair but even then that was barbaric. That was like saying there was no choice. Was there any choice at all?

"Your Highness! I have finally found you." From the underbrush came Suicune another legendary known in the pokemon world as the North wind. His hair blew in an imaginary wind while the last rays of the sun shimmered off his coat.

"I know . . ." Suicune looked up at Ho-Oh in question.

"Our futures are very uncertain right now but that doesn't mean we won't fight. In fact let human's believe in their petty ignorance. They will soon regret. We the Legendary's true shall take back the world and reshape it." Ho-Oh looked at the last of the sun's rays calculating.

In another part of the forest far away

"I really wish I had stayed on the main road!" My now white hair was literally dull from wondering in the forest for so long. My whole body ached to rest from walking and fighting. On top of that the sun was starting to set and I needed shelter. For as far as my eye could see trees stood in all directions. Sighing I touched the pokeball that held Silfer. Taking the ball off my belt I hit the button to call out Silfer. In a flash of red light Silfer my new pokemon Houndoom formed from the bright red light.

"What's up?" Silfer shook himself and stretched dramatically. He blew a slight flame and laughed as if it were the most funny thing in the world. Mentally crossing my fingers I hoped that he wouldn't refuse to help me out of the crazy forest.

"You need my help don't you?" How did he?

"I can smell it on you that your worried I would refuse. Since you are my trainer now it is only fitting that I help us to civilization." In that moment I looked into his eyes and saw a longing in them to belong that was often a part of my life.

"You know the way back to civilization!" I found myself half hoping that this would be the correct way to go about getting out of the woods.

"Sort of but it isn't anything I can't handle. I can smell our way there however I really think making camp now would be a better idea. It's almost dark and there won't be any light to see with." Sighing I shook my head in denial. The fact was I didn't want to stay in woods when there was a possibility of running into another hostile pokemon. I felt shivers run up and down my arms as I thought this. What should I do?

"You do know that a fire keeps at least most pokemon away." Silfer spoke looking up into my face as if hoping I would make up my mind. What harm would come of making a fire? I guess it is decided.

"Okay, we'll make camp." Silfer smiled a wolfish grin but nudged my hand as reassurance. "We still have to find firewood and a natural alcove to make camp in." I nodded and began searching.

Searching for about half an hour we finally found a place that was idealistic for a camp. The little place we found had a stream and flat ground for bedding. Trees provided for natural cover from the element of rain and wind. At seeing this place I believe my eyes grew big with wonder. Here was a place untouched by humans and yet, I almost felt compelled to find somewhere else to bed for the night. Silfer sure liked the place for he pranced and sniffed every inch of the area.

It took about two hours later for camp to be fully made. It took another hour to feed what pokemon I had with me. Silfer had requested to stay out of his ball for the night. Agreeing I went to bed for the night.

Drifting

Floating

where

Darkness abound and yet there was something familiar. A clawed hand reached for me but I could only stand there transfixed wondering if I should stay or go.

Emptiness everywhere and a void so big that one could be lost in it forever.

Terror gripped me as I realized that I would be there forever.

"No!"

"Please!!"

"NOOOooooo!!!"

With a start I woke screaming and shaking. For the first time in a long time I was terrified. It was only a dream I kept telling myself but . . .

"Are you okay" Silfer nudged my hand and kept close to my side as if to ward away the bad vibes in the dream. In a moment three flashes of light revealed my pokemon. Cyndaquil jumped into my lap and looked up at me with worry. Both Zapdos and Articuno perched on my shoulders chirping with reassurance. We sat perched and cuddled for I don't know how long but as we all know nothing lasts forever.

"I want a nickname . ." snuggled a comfortable Cyndaquil. Looking at him I could certainly think of a nickname but would he like it.

"You sure?" Cyndaquil looked up at me and nodded.

"Kine..." (Pronounced Kin-ay) Mentally crossing my fingers Cyndaquil cocked his head to the side in thought. After a few moments he smiled and nodded with approval.

"Okay, Kine, it's your name from here on out. Articuno and Zapdos do you want nicknames as well?"

"I do!" squawked my Zapdos. He looked up at me with bright eyes and only one name came to mind. I decided to name him after my great grandfather.

"I shall name you Darius. What do you think?" Zapdos looked at me and nodded after literally prancing around yelling his new name out for everyone to hear. Articuno having seen enough of Zapdos' prancing pecked him over his head. Unfortunately this lead to a tumble with both young legendary's ruffled and a few feathers short.

"Are you two done squabbling like immature chicks?" Silfer who asked then got a glare from Articuno.

"Have you forgotten that I am an ice type therefore I can whip you little snapper into oblivion." Articuno spoke up and glared shifting into a battle position. Seeing this I had to do something before it all went out of hand.

"Would you two please stop! It wouldn't do to get hurt out here when we're, 'I don't know how many miles,' from civilization. Articuno! Don't even think about what I know you're thinking!" Sighing I ran my hand through my hair. Who would have thought understanding what pokemon can say be so frustrating. At least at home I didn't have this kind of argument or crazy bird trying to sound like it new everything. Aye! If raising pokemon like Articuno was hard I could almost imagine what it be like later when I capture more. Thinking back on the anime show made me realize most trainer almost never completed the pokedex. It was just too hard to keep that many pokemon in line, exercised and happy to boot. I even seem to . . . . . . . . . . . rumble . . . . . .

"Guys! Stop bickering!" I yelled as I felt something from somewhere nearby. Looking to and fro I couldn't shake the feeling that something was coming.

"Okay everyone back into your balls. I know you all want to help but if your forgetting that I am Mew and get us the heck out of the situation in no time then, by all means please do." One by one everyone was recalled except Articuno.

"Would you still like a nickname friend." Articuno looked up at me and then flew up at me and rested on my left shoulder.

"Yes, but do me a favor though." Articuno snuggled closer to my neck.

"Sure! What kind of favor?" Something of curiosity tickled my nose.

"Please, don't leave me behind." Turning my head as best as I could I looked at Articuno and replied with courage I didn't know I had.

"Arty, I won't ever leave you behind. I promise." I just hoped that I would be able to keep my promise. She looked at me and a smile was present in her eyes and yet all around us felt like destiny.

. . . . . . . .rumble . . . . . . .rumble

"Arty back into the pokeball. I don't know why but I think a hasty running is in order." I pointed the ball at Arty and in a flash of red light she was safely inside the ball.

. . . . . .RUMBLE . . . . . .

---Crack--

HISSSSSSssssss!

It was one thing to see lava on TV but to view it up close and personal was not good nor safe. With a burst of speed I didn't know I had I gathered everything together without my pokemon's help. Even with my fast speed the lava got closer and closer. It had already reached the stream where I had already gotten fresh water. Hoisting my pack I floated upwards in an effort to avoid touching the lava as it ran over the same spot I had just been standing. Unfortunately the lava was not the only thing I had to worry about.

Cough! Cough! Smoke and ash drifted in the air. Which way was up? Which way was down? Thinking I almost wish I had Rayquaza and his Air Lock ability. At least he would be able to lead me out of the mess.

So ends this chapter!

Sorry this chapter has taken so long to put up. My life is a bit hectic right now and I'm trying to get myself back into high gear. I got inspired to continue with the last movie Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End soundtrack. I did see the movie and the ones previous and more then once too. I plan on getting the third movie when it comes out on DVD.

Pokemon related movies; I now have Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and the Manafy movie. I can't wait to get the movie that has Dialga, Palkia and Darkrai in it. I also have good news to as well. Pokemon from the fourth generation will also be making appearances in this story to as well.
