Hello there. I'm adding a mystery character in this chapter... AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!... No, not really. The character will go by Sigma, which is another ancient greek letter, it looks like a sideways M or W ( Σ ). I don't own Pokémon, all rights belong to their respective owners.

"," equals talking, "," equals telepathy, "," equals thoughts and "," equals telepathy and talking happening at the same time.

Azalea Town, 1 day after Lusamine visited Xedric

We see Ash and Latias, along with their four friends arrive in the Ilex forest, ready for some pokémon battle and contest training, seeing as Serena has just registered for competing in contests around Johto. "Alright, let's get to training!" Ash said excitedly. Right before they started training, they noticed something in the trees, when they took a closer look, they were horrified at what they saw (which is an understatement). They saw someone who was beaten badly, dangling from the trees by a bag around their neck. They were so terrified that even though they tried to scream, it ended up barely audible.

They then heared a noise from some bushes, followed by a throwing star barely missing them, hitting a nearby tree instead. They then heard someone laughing, "HEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Suddenly a masked man appeared right in front of them, but not by teleporting. It was because he was no longer invisible. "Greetings, I am Sigma, lead scientist of the Kalos Peacekeepers and the Zorreshion Empire, hahahaha." the masked figure, now known as Sigma, said with a creepy, and slightly mechanical voice, causing a chill to run down everyone's spines as he laughed a little.

"Oh, have I frightened you? That was quick. It's no fun doing what I did to him to you when my playmates get scared too quickly." Sigma said as he pointed to the dead person, then pointing at the gang, making everyone sick to their stomachs. "Seeing as how scared you are, I'll leave you alone, for now. Until then, tata. HEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Sigma said, laughing. He then suddenly disappeared. This time he teleported, but without using psychic powers. Everyone then passed out from fear a few seconds afterwards.

When they woke up, they were in in some beds in the Charcoal Kiln back in Azalea Town. "What happened?" everyone asked simultaneously. "We found you passed out on the forest floor, so we brought you here." One of the family members that lived there said. "I think we should get going." Brock said. "Alright, you can visit us any time!" Another one from the family said as the group headed out the door.

"That Sigma person... he really scares me." Latias said, still shocked as to what she saw. "I'll make sure Sigma pays for killing that person." Is what went through Ash's mind. Later, Ash suddenly walked upon a bunch of random pieces of metal and a circuit board, he suddenly felt the urge to make something out of them. He then thought if what he could make, and then started to build one of his ideas.

"Ash, since when were you like Clemont?" Serena asked Ash. When Ash finished it, it ended up being a large, box shaped machine, he then stated what it was. "This is a super storage unit. It can store as much as 90,000 bikes, and shrink down to the size of an inactive pokeball without damaging the contents." Ash said, who then put a bike in, shrunk the box to the size of an inactive pokeball, enlarged the box, and to everyone's surprise, the bike was the same as it looked before going in, also to Serena's surprise, it didn't blow up.

"Ash! How did you manage to think about creating and actually creating this?" Both Rachel and Marina asked Ash. "I don't know, the idea suddenly popped into my head, and then I started to create it using some blueprints in my mind." Ash said, causing everyone's jaws to drop. "Well here's something you won't be able to store in that box," Latias said before kissing Ash. Since Rachel and Marina didn't know about Ash and Latias being in love, they were a little surprised at first.

Meanwhile, in a top secret underground lab underneath the Zorreshion Empire

Xedric was sitting down, waiting for someone, tapping his foot impatiently. "Were is he?" Xedric asked himself. "Usually being patient brings good things you know." Sigma said as he suddenly appeared in front of Xedric. "There you are Sigma! Were have you been?" Xedric asked Sigma while being slightly annoyed. "If you'd like to know, I was having some fun in the Ilex forest in Johto and was spying on some people as well." is all Sigma said. "Well I need you to test some things on some pokémon we just got shipped in from Cipher, are you willing to do so?" Xedric asked Sigma.

"With pleasure your majesty." Sigma said before teleporting away.

Back in Azalea Town at night

Ash was doing some intense training with Eevee and Pikachu. Then when Eevee was battling Pikachu, she started to evolve. She had finally evolved into Umbreon. "Awesome! You evolved Umbreon!" Ash said, both happily and excitedly. What caught Ash off guard was what happened next. "Thank you, Ash." Ash's Umbreon said.

Well then, does anyone think that was a pretty morbid start to the chapter? Just to let you know, Umbreon isn't speaking like a human. Also, here's some details about Sigma.

Sigma "?":

Age: Unspecified

Gender: Male

Relatives: Unknown

Well that wraps up this chapter.

Until next time.
