Chapter 11
"Finally!" Tony cried with joy, "paved roads!" He fell to his knees and kissed the ground.
"That is gross," Montana snickered.
"Get off the ground. The gym is awaiting!" Drake yelled as he ran off. He passed the Pokemon Center and market on his way. Violet City was an older town, and the group could tell. The buildings looked rustic, but genuine. No other city could be like it. The gym looked like a normal building, but it had a light blue dome over the top.
"I'm guessing he is a Flying type," Drake asked as his friends caught up with him. Tony opened his PokeDex and looked up the gym leader of Violet City.
"Umm…His name is Falkner. The gym was passed down to him about 13 years ago, and he has had a numerous amount of wins. He is powerful," Tony explained.
"What Pokemon does he use?" Montana asked, but she quickly ran to a store mirror. The boys thought she saw something to buy, so they didn't follow her.
"Actually, he uses two Pokemon during a regulation gym battle: a Pidgeotto and Hoothoot. He also lets his non-gym battling Pokemon to battle at the challengers discretion."
"Awesome, so I can let Charizard get some last time battling in," Drake said. "I'm gonna miss him." They approached the gym and a boy that looked older than Drake stood in front of the gym doors. He had dark hair and blue eyes and wore knee length shorts and an athletic looking t-shirt.
"The gym is closed for the next couple of days," the boy said. "Falkner is in Olivine for official business."
"Dang!" Drake sighed.
"Sorry, that was rude of me to not introduce myself. I am Tyler Richards from Fortree City in Hoenn. I am seventeen," the boy greeted.
"Well, I am Drake Smith from Pallet. This is Tony and Montana," Drake said. The boys looked over at Montana. She now had a piece of paper in her hands.
"I bet she found a sale," Tony joked.
"Want to join us to see what we do for the day?" Drake asked Tyler.
"Sure, I was probably just going to rest and train," Tyler said. They walked over to Montana.
"What do you have there?" Tony asked. Montana looked up and saw Tyler. She blushed instantly.
"No. I have Chase is Kanto. And he is probably like eighteen, but gah he is cute," Montana thought.
"Hello?" Drake waved in front of her face.
"Oh…It's the PokeStylist Show. It got moved to tomorrow," Montana explained. "I have to go sign up."
"Let's go," Tony cheered. The group made there way to the Pokemon Center, laughing and joking along the way.
"I'll get our rooms," Drake said. He walked up to the newest addition to the Pokemon Centers. The councils of the regions decided to add a receptionist to every Pokemon Center for the hotel part. The receptionists for all the Pokemon Centers were closely related and looked very much alike.
"Hi, my name is Alice," the receptionist smiled. She had fiery red hair and a professional black business suite on.
"I need two rooms," Drake said. The receptionist typed something in her computer and smiled up at Drake. She handed him two keycards. "Thanks."
Drake walked back to the group. Montana was talking to Nurse Joy, and the nurse had her PokeDex in her soft hands. "You are now registered. You must win five stars to get into the Grand Championship," the nurse explained. Nurse Joy handed her a star-shaped case with five openings around the points.
"That looks awesome," Tony commented.
"I got our rooms," Drake smiled. His PokeDex started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Drake. It's Kit!" Kit shouted.
"Hey!"
"Okay, so I have been researching a few things in myths and legends and I think I found something. You know how we found those energy levels that match yours?" Kit asked.
"Yeah," Drake said.
"Well, the Dark Forces must have an equal to all of them. So Mason's equal was his dad, Bruce. That means for every Light Aurer they must have a Dark Aurer. It is foretold in the balance of the universe," Kit explained.
"So?" Drake sighed. He knew something bad was coming.
"There must be someone out there that has a power level of yours," Kit murmured.
"Dang it," Drake said. "Any readings yet?"
"No, there is one in Johto and Mason has been working with his here. There was a spike in Cherrygrove a few weeks ago," Kit said.
"I think that was that shadow and the Johto Commander," he said to Montana. The PokeDex was on speaker so everyone could here. Drake forgot Tyler was there.
"Also, the Final Prophecy is in Johto. Researchers and explorers have spent years trying to find it, but they can't. There is a monk in Sprout Tower who has a connection with the universe. I want you to try to get some answers from him," Kit ordered. Drake looked at his group.
"We will do it today," Drake said.
"Be careful. Sprout Tower monks make you battle to prove your worth. I'm sure the monk we are looking for will be strong," Kit warned.
"I have Charizard," Drake grinned. He hung up his phone and instantly looked at Tyler.
"Don't worry. This is kinda cool," Tyler laughed. "I want to see those powers someday though." The group healed their Pokemon before they left for Sprout Tower.
"This thing is wobbling," Montana said shakily.
"This is awesome!" Tony shouted.
"Let's go," Drake ordered. They walked into the first floor. It was plain and had an old scent to it.
"Welcome to the Sprout Tower," an old man with an orange robe said. "There are four floors above this one. Each one has a challenge ready for you. The final floor each trainer will be tested in battle when they are tired. Master Monk will then battle whom seems fit."
"We are here for answers. We were told there is a monk here that can give us them," Drake explained.
"Then you must take the challenge," the monk smiled. He quietly sat down and began to meditate. "The ladder to start is right behind you." Montana went first and the group followed. Tyler brought up the rear.
The next floor was dark and the group couldn't see anything. "Charizard, Cyndaquil come on out!" Drake's Fire types popped out of their balls, creating light.
"Drake…" Montana shuddered.
"What?" He asked.
"Shhh!" Tyler ordered. He pointed up. Drake saw dozens of Zubat hanging from the roof.
"How do we get out of here?" Tony asked quietly.
"The ladder is right across the room. Maybe we can make it without them waking," Tyler suggested. He began to tip toe across the floor. Charizard tried to move, but he caused a loud creak.
"Drake, recall him," Montana ordered. Drake did as told, and Cyndaquil was the only light for the team.
"We are almost there!" Tony cheered quietly. He tripped over a piece of wood, falling roughly to the ground. Montana looked up, seeing the Zubat spreading there wings.
"Run!" She screeched. Drake picked up Tony and they ran as the Zubat began to swarm. Tyler was cut off from the group as he made it to the ladder. The Zubat seemed like they were trained to cut off people from the ladder.
"Stantler!" Tyler yelled. His deer-like Pokemon popped out of his Pokeball brightly. Stantler looked around, seeing the mass of Zubat. The Zubat began to close in on Drake's group.
"We can't use Smokescreen cause they don't have eyes," Drake cried as he swatted down a Zubat. He and Tony covered Montana, but she was holding her own.
"Hypnosis!" Stantler emitted a strong yellow wave of psychic energy that put the Zubat to sleep instantly. Drake's group and his Cyndaquil fell to the ground with there eyes closed, blocking the attack. Tyler rubbed the back of Stantler's neck in appreciation for his help.
"Thanks," Drake sighed. The group climbed the next rope. The room was lighted and they were glad they could see. Cyndaquil remained on Drake's shoulder.
"I wonder what this challenge could be," Montana wondered. She looked around suspiciously.
"FREE!" A Butterfree cried. The poor Pokemon was caged up and crying. Three Seviper coiled around the cage, awaiting the courageous soul that tried to save the Butterfree.
"We have to save it," Tony said as he stepped forward.
"Wait," Drake ordered. "Those Seviper will attack if we get close. We need a plan. There are three of them and four of us."
"And the ladder is behind the cage," Tyler added.
"How about three of us distract them and the fourth one help the Butterfree," Montana suggested.
"How do the rest of us get back to the ladder?" Tony asked.
"Fight our way back," Montana smiled. She, Tyler, and Drake ran past the Seviper and the Poison types followed them. Tony sprinted to the cage and released the Butterfree. He looked to his friends, who were already battling the Pokemon. Drake's Cyndaquil used a Smokescreen to confuse it and Drake started running towards the ladder. Montana's Espeon was controlling their Seviper with a Confusion as Montana slowly made her way to the ladder. Tyler's Stantler quickly put his Seviper to sleep, and he rushed to Montana's aid. Stantler rammed himself into Seviper, knocking it out. The two ran back to the ladder.
"Let's go!" Drake yelled. They all climbed up the rope ladder to the next floor. A monk was meditating in the middle. He opened his eyes suddenly.
"This is the Random Battle Floor," the monk stated. "Two out your four will be presented with a random trainer that has yet to pass this floor. The winning group gets to proceed while the other is thrown out."
"Who are our challengers?" Drake asked. The monk stepped to the side and the wall behind him flung open. Deena Elm stepped out. Her eyes widened as she saw Drake.
"Great," she snickered. "I can get some payback." She pushed her glasses back up her nose as she walked towards Drake.
"I guess I'm battling," Drake chuckled.
"One on one, go!" The monk yelled.
"Bayleef, take charge!" Deena shouted. Her Bayleef flashed into existence and growled at Drake.
"Oh lord," Drake sighed. "Cyndaquil!" His Cyndaquil jumped off his shoulder, and his flame burst.
"Bayleef, use Tackle," Deena commanded. The larger Bayleef charged the smaller Cyndaquil.
"Smokescreen, and then Tackle from the side!" Drake yelled. Cyndaquil was at a definite disadvantage. Cyndaquil's Smokescreen flowed from his mouth and nostrils. The Bayleef stopped abruptly. The Fire type flew through the smoke and rammed Bayleef into the ground. Both Pokemon stumbled out of the smoke.
"Bayleef, use Razor Leaf quickly," Deena ordered. Bayleef launched razor sharp leaves from her giant leaf on her head, hitting Cyndaquil from behind. Cyndaquil rolled on the floor.
"Again!" Deena said cynically. Bayleef rounded her leaf to launch more leaves, but Cyndaquil jumped up quickly. His flame was burning brighter than ever as he fired several small balls of fire at Bayleef. The Grass type was taken by surprise and knocked unconscious.
"No!" Deena cried. She recalled her Pokemon.
"Maybe your partner can win," the Monk said. The wall flung open again and the girl with the snow white hair walked out.
"You're traveling with Deena?" Tony asked.
"Yep, now let's battle," she said. "I'm ready to get out of here." She threw a Pokeball in the air, releasing a Ledian. The ladybug looking Pokemon flew around her.
"Magby, let's go!" Tony shouted. His Magby did a front flip and landed kneeling.
"Ledian, use Comet Punch!" Ledian flew towards Magby with lightning fast speed and glowing fists. Magby dodged a couple of the swift punches but was thrown back by the powerful Comet Punch. Ledian didn't stop and continued to keep beating Magby.
"Magby, use Faint Attack!" Tony screeched across the room. Magby fell limp on the floor and Ledian stopped punching.
"Don't fall for it!" Sarah warned. Ledian turned his head, and was met with a punch to the back of it as Magby finished his Faint Attack. Ledian flew back up, unfazed by the attack.
"Fire Spin full power!" Tony yelled. Magby released a tornado of flames from his small mouth. Ledian was consumed in the fire, screeching in pain. Ledian fell to the floor burned to a crisp.
"The group of four is permitted to leave!" The monk shouted. The ladder fell from the roof and the group climbed it.
"Hello there," a tall monk with an orange robe said. This monk had a dark blue sash crossing his chest. "I am Master Monk. The two that did not battle must double battle against my apprentice to earn my respect. Young Tony and Drake have shown their strength against random trainers, so now you must show me you are worthy to seek what you do." Montana and Tyler nodded and stepped forward. A shorter monk with a red sash stepped up as well. He pulled out two whistles and blew both of them lightly. A Machop ran in front of him, and a Natu flew down from the ceiling.
"Espeon!"
"Totodile!" Both Pokemon popped out of their Pokeballs. They smiled at each other and prepared for a battle.
"How did Elm get so many Totodile?" Tony asked Drake.
"Who knows," Drake laughed.
"Machop, use Low Sweep. Natu, use Lucky Chant," the monk ordered peacefully. The Machop darted at the Pokemon's feet quickly, trying to trip them up, as Natu began to chirp a secret chant.
"Totodile, use Ice Fang on Natu!" Totodile's fangs froze, but Machop tripped him up as he tried to attack. Every time Totodile tried to move, Machop stopped him.
"Espeon, use Confusion to knock him back!" Montana shouted, seeing Totodile in trouble. Drake's Totodile was now sharing Drake's shoulders with Cyndaquil, watching how another Totodile battled.
Espeon's jewel flashed brightly as Machop was thrown back. Totodile saw this as his only chance and snatched Natu in his jaws. Totodile shook the tiny bird and threw him aside. Natu struggled to get up, so Machop rushed over to help him.
"Take this chance and use Water Gun," Tyler ordered. Totodile fired a strong Water Gun from close range, knocking Machop on his butt.
"Machop, use Karate Chop. Natu, use Teleport and Night Shade!" Machop ran at Totodile with his hand straightened and glowing. Natu vanished and Espeon kept her guard up.
"Espeon…" Tana said, interrupted by Natu's Night Shade being fired over her head. The dark blast forced Espeon across the room. Espeon shook her head and got up shakily. She gathered energy around her and sprinted rapidly. She slammed into Natu, knocking him out. The monk left the fainted Pokemon on the ground while Totodile and Machop fought each other. Machop was swinging away with his Karate Chop, but Totodile was too quick for him.
"Espeon, help with an Iron Tail," Montana commanded. Espeon swiftly turned her tail into hard steel, and she ran at Machop. The Fighting type caught the Iron Tail and started swinging Espeon by it.
"Water Gun hurry!" Tyler pleaded. Totodile blasted Machop square in the stomach and slammed him against the wall. He slid down the wood wall unconsciously.
"Yeah!" Montana cheered. She gave Tyler a hug, but quickly stepped back.
"Congratulations," Master Monk said. "You have no proven yourself to the universe." He held out his hands. Drake grabbed both of them, and he wiggled in pain. A bright light took place of the scene of the room, and it was only him and Master Monk in a bright space.
"This is the spot in between our world and Arceus's dimension, Heaven, as you worldly people say. This place knows all, and I can read its knowledge," Master Monk stated.
"I need information on Team Rocket and the Gods," Drake persisted.
"I can only give you minimal information because too much could be dangerous to the stream of time," the monk answered. He closed his eyes and the light around him began to be absorbed into his body.
"Team Rocket is planning a great revolution against humans, but they are being lead by an evil Pokemon. The Final Prophecy can be found in the oldest of all places in Johto," the monk explained.
"Thanks," Drake smiled. He began to let go of Master Monk's hands, but he grabbed them even harder. His body began to shake, and a different voice came out of his mouth. His eyes were now white.
"Drake…"
"Arceus?" Drake wondered.
"Yes…"
"What is going on? Where are you?" Drake rushed.
"Your…Dimension…Mine…Destroyed…When…Comet…Was…Released."
"What did you come here to tell me?" Drake questioned.
"A…Forgotten…Legendary…Is…Destined…To…Rise…Against…All…Odds…And," Arceus said. His voice began to lower.
"I…Am…In…Your…World…Hiding…Must…Help…" The Monk's body shook violently and the two spiraled back into the real world.
Drake found himself laying in a soft bed with his friends all around. "He is awake!" Tyler yelled. His friends circled around his bed.
"What is going on?" Drake grunted.
"You have been knocked out. You and Master Monk passed out while y'all were connected. What did you find out?" Montana asked.
"Something about a Forgotten Legendary and Arceus is in our world," Drake grumbled. "What day is it?"
"Actually, it is only seven at night," Tony laughed. "We just got done eating." Drake smiled and sat up. His Johto Pokemon were sitting on his bed except Zubat was hanging from a wall light.
"I think I am going to go back to sleep," Drake sighed as he fell back on his pillow.
A/N- Hi! Thanks to Aussieking for Tyler. He is a very good Oc. Hope everyone likes it.
