Black's POV (surprise!)
"You guys don't even own Kanto, why are you even here?!" I hollered at the grunt in pursuit of me. Perhaps splitting up was a bad idea.
"We have people in every region kid, to make sure they don't try to stop us," she said.
"And what prevents them from slaughtering all of you?" I ran deeper into the forest.
"Leverage" she reached for what I'm guessing is a Pokeball in her pocket. I stealthily do the same.
"What kind of leverage?" I asked as my Pokemon flew into the trees above us.
"We have people from every region in our custody too you know. Now, Muk, Sludge bomb!" She yelled victoriously.
"Murshana, now! Psybeam that Muk!" I hollered.
"What?!" She shrieked as my psychic type appeared behind her and blasted the Muk into pieces. "Alright, Murshana!" That's when the Muk slowly reforms, taking the shape of a rather large body builder.
"Crap forgot that you're practically silly putty" I muttered.
"Toxic Spikes!" The grunt ordered. Dark purple spikes were scattered all around me. I was stuck.
"Murshana, fly up!" And use nightmare on Muk. My psychic type instantly took off back into the trees. "Muk, before the Pokemon comes back, attack him!" The Muk runs at me and swallows me in its purple slime. It was dark, and I couldn't breathe. This was worse than being stuck in the dark stone with Zekrom. I was suffocating, hoping Murshana had heard my order. Tears were welling up in my eyes. Did Murshana hear me? Is this it? Oh god if I die, White's gonna kill me. A slightly disoriented voice came from outside the Muk.
"Enjoy this moment kid, take your last breath, this place belongs to team rock- huh?!" Muk was being split up. I gasped for air as Muk was being traumatized by a nightmare. The Muk let out an agonizing roar as it witnessed its worst fear, over and over again until it collapsed from fright.
"What the heck?!" The Grunt exclaimed.
"What?" I smiled, "never seen a lovely Pokemon like mine? If you would like, you could meet the rest of my team, but of course, it won't be pretty. Here, I'll do you a favor, tell me where the nearest city is and you can run free"
"You got some nerve talking to me like that, kid." She stated, "but we are very close to Cerulean City. Not that it matters, I'm taking you with me"
"Sorry dear, but I have different reservations made. Feel free to check back once Johto is rid of your creepy friends"
"Who said you have a choice" she scoffed.
"Who said I didn't have a choice?" I walked over to my Murshana, "Now I must really be going. I will see you later my dear" I laughed triumphantly as Murshana teleported me away from the grunt. The last thing she saw was my middle finger. This city was pretty much all blue, hence its name. I know Senior Blue doesn't live here at least, he's in Pallet Town. I walked into what I thought was the health center, but it turns out this was the gym. I saw a woman with orange hair, tied up and a yellow shirt and blue shorts ordering a Starmie against someones Eevee. The poor Eevee never stood a chance, she froze it in place. However, Eevee hopped out like it was nothing and proceeded to bite the Starmie. I walked closer to the battle area to get a closer look. That's when I realized, it's another Sage! Forgot his name though. The gym leader made quick work of the Eevee. The sage retuned the Eevee.
"Sorry mister, no badge," She smiled.
"Very well. Perhaps you could provide directions then?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow. Maybe he's going to the same place as Zinzolin, then I could knock two birds with one stone! Hypothetically, I would be in so much trouble if I went around stoning birds.
"Where to?" The gym leader asked, cutting me from my thoughts.
"The league building"
"Sorry, even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to get in."
"And why is that?"
"Two reasons, one: you need all 8 badges to get in. And two, even if you had the badges, the leagues' entrance is connected to a city. The city's gym leader isn't letting anybody head to the league for their own good"
"Just tell me which city it's in" he growled at the gym leader, "I'm not going for a challenge, there is business I must attend to with the man in charge there" What would the Sages want with Team Rocket? liberation of Pokemon from them? Maybe Iris has an idea as to how they're connected. Wait what am I doing here?! I need to find her! I back away from the battle arena only to fall into a pile of pool floaties. Both the gym leader and The Sage glanced in my direction. I stayed perfectly still until they shifted back into their conversation. Just as I made it to the door, I heard the name of the leagues' location, Viridian City. I ran to the edge of town and pulled out Braviary.
"Braviary, we need to find Iris. It's important!" I said urgently. Braviary let out a loud chirp and, after mounting it, we flew off.
In the sky~.~.~.
The view from up here was amazing! Well with the exception of a fire in one of the cities. I swooped down to the burning city and helped to put out the fire. Along with a teenager and their Blastoise, Samurott and I quickly doused the flames. After thanking the teenager for the help, I continued to look for Iris. I spent most of the day looking for her in a city called Saffron. After a thorough check of the Fighting Dojo (and a couple of battles,) I departed from the orange-colored city. While I was in the air, my mind wandered to the Sage I saw in Cerulean. That was the second one I've seen in this region. What's their deal? We only caught one Sage in Unova after the castle fell a few months ago. The rest were nowhere to be found.
"Brav!" My Braviary screeched at me. I realized we had landed in another city. It was nearly night by the time I reached this small little, purple place. This place gave me some creepy vibes, there was nobody here.
"Hello?" I called, "Is anybody alive?" I walked around until I got to this huge tower, it was crumbling, as if someone burnt part of it. After returning Braviary, I cautiously made my way into the tower, my Emboar was out with me in case anything tried to attack us. With the light of my Pokemon's flame, I saw the tombstones. This must be like Celestial tower I realized as I tripped on a grave. I looked at the grave that I tripped over, 'here lies Ratty, my first Pokemon' was scribbled on it in a somewhat childish handwriting. After brushing myself off, I continued up the tower. That's when A figure emerged from behind a tombstone.
"Hey there, I don't want to hurt you," I said. The figure revealed its glowing eyes and let out a screech that couldn't possibly belong to a human. It'a ghastly, I realized.
"Emboar, Flare Blitz!" I ordered. The ghost Pokemon was not prepared for the attack and ended up with a severe burn.
"Assurance!" Emboar finished the Ghastly off with the super effective move. It retreated to the same tombstone it had emerged from.
"Nice work!" I praised my Pokemon. That's when a second pair of glowing eyes appeared, and a third, and a fourth, until Emboar and I were surrounded by the ghost type Pokemon. In sync, they let out an ear piercing scream as they charged at my Pokemon and I. I sent out Samurott and Murshana to assist Emboar as the three of them jumped into action. As I was commanding my team, the room abruptly went cold. I heard a small giggle inside my head before the world went black.
