Meet Dusknoir

~Big Green~

"Now listen First Squad, it is important we make a good first impression on Wigglytuff's Guild. My nephew had to pull a lot of strings to get arrange this meeting so we must make sure we do not do anything to offend the Pokémon at the guild."

Chatot King glared at Mighty Ray.

"Are you listening Mighty Ray?"

"Yeah yeah, show respect, I get it."

"Do not worry Chatot King, we at Big Green always show the best of respect, and we are always interested in making friends with Pokémon." Ape Trully assured him.

The King rolled his eyes.

"I hope you don't plan on giving them gold Ape Trully."

"Um...noooo." He said that while pushing a small wagon behind him.

"Alright lets head out." Aipom King announced.

Meanwhile at Wigglytuff's Guild...

"Now my uncle and his allies will be visiting us soon in hope of some peace negotiations, as always I expect you all be on your best behavior and show respect to my uncle and his friends."

Everyone nodded.

"Now for our morning cheer.

A ONE, A TWO...A ONE, TWO-THREE"

The rest of the members repeated after Chatot.

"ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!

TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!

THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!"

"Alright everyone now-"

"POKEMON DETECTED, POKEMON DETECTED!" Diglett rang out.

"WHO'S FOOT PRINT?! WHO'S FOOT PRINT?!"

"THE FOOT PRINT IS HUMAN! THE FOOT PRINT IS HUMAN!"

"Human?! Hey hey, humans never come here." Corphish said heading towards the front.

"Humans? Here? What would they want with the Guild?" Sunflora asked.

"That must be my uncle's allies, let them in."

At the front gate First Squad, their commanders, and Chatot King stood at the shut.

"What was that yelling all about?" Sonia asked as they stood there.

"That's how they alert the others that someone is at the front it happens everyday."

The gate then opened.

"You may enter."

Big Green went in to see a later in the center of the room. Corphish then rushed up.

"Hey hey, they are humans, and animals."

Loudred then came up with after him.

"WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE! THE GUILDMASTER'S WAITING FOR YOU!" First Squad covered their ears, as Loudred shouted.

"Hey, hey follow me, hey, hey."

Corphish led them to the Guildmaster's room.

"Ah, my nephew, it is good to see you after all these years."

"Uncle! It's so good to see you! I've missed you uncle, uh I mean your majesty."

"Chatot who is this?" Wigglytuff asked empty headedly.

"Oh yes, Guildmaster, these are the visitors from Big Green I told you about."

Wigglytuff stared for a moment, trying to remember when he was told of their arrival. He sat their blankly.

"Um what's with him?" Mighty Ray blurted out.

"Ah-hem!" Chatot King glared at Mighty Ray.

Wigglytuff sat there a little longer but then started snoring.

"Oh dear." Chatot said flying closer to him. He waved his wing in front of Wigglytuffs face.

"Did he really just fall asleep?" Sonia thought.

"Man he's not the brightest now is he?" Ember thought.

"Um...well the guildmaster's just um, trying to remember, uh-"

"Oh yes! Them!" The guildmaster suddenly sprang to life, scaring Chatot.

"Welcome Big Green, we've been expecting you!"

Everyone rolled their eyes on his slow uptake, then Ape Trully stepped forward.

"Well, I am commander Ape Trully, I am the leader of Big Green, we at Big Green desire peace with all creatures of Big Green, and we were hopping to make friends with your guild."

"You wish to be friends? We accept. Friends are always welcome here."

"Well that was easy." Aura whispered.

"Chatot, why don't you show our new friends around the guild?"

"As you say guildmaster."

First Squad followed Chatot as he lead them to the crew rooms.

"This here is where our guild members sleep for the night. They each share a room with at least one other member. The north is Sunflora and Chimecho's room. The south is Corphish, Bidoof, and Loudred's room."

"Well what about, that room right there?" Mighty Ray asked pointing and the one right in front of them.

"That room is reserved for new members of the Guild. When ever we get new members they are required to stay at the guild until they pass a test for them to be able to graduate from the guild."

Chatot then lead them to the 2nd sub-level.

"Over there, the blue fellow is Croagunk. He owns a swap shop for our members to trade various rare items. And right there where Loudred is standing, is the entrance to the sentry. That's where Diglett identifies our visitors, hence the loud alarming shout you were greeted with."

He then led them upstairs to the 1st sub-level.

"Now this is where most of the rescue teams, spend most of their time, for this is where the Job Bulletin Board and the Outlaw notice- OH!"

Chatot stopped once he saw a Dusknoir browsing over the Outlaw Notice Board.

"T-The Great Dusknoir."

"Dusk-who?" Jumpy said puzzled.

Chatot looked at Jumpy surprised.

"You mean, you've never heard of The Great Dusknoir?!"

First Squad all stared with a confused look.

"Oh that's right you are humans." Chatot sighed.

Chatot flew over to Dusknoir. He turned to see Chatot somewhat shaking.

"Greetings Chatot, forgive me for barging in, but I decided to pay a visit to Guild, and see how you were doing in this Human-Pokémon conflict." He then noticed the members of Big Green.

"Hmm, I see the Guild's made some new friends."

"Ah yes, where are my manners. Warriors of Big Green, this is The Great Dusknoir, he is well-known for his many explorations and his wisdom."

"It is a honor to meet you Dusknoir." Ape Trully said while prompting the rest of Big Green to bow in respect.

"Big Green? Forgive me but what is this Big Green?" Dusknoir asked.

"We at Big Green are a collaboration between humans, animals, and Pokémon. Our goal is to restore peace in Hidden Kingdom and create harmony between all the creatures of Hidden Kingdom."

"Interesting." Dusknoir said, pondering something.

"POKEMON DETECTED! POKEMON DETECTED!"

"WHO'S FOOTPRINT?! WHO'S FOOTPRINT?!"

"eh...THE FOOTPRINT IS HUMAN! THE FOOTPRINT IS HUMAN!"

"HUMAN, AGIAN?! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA HERE?!"

"Friends of yours?" Chatot asked Ape Trully.

"Possibly."

"Let them in."

Just then Rosefinch ran in.

"Commander Ape Trully, we've just received word that a pack of Luxray have taken humans and lions captive at the Amp plains."

"Oh, dear we must make friends with the Luxray, and convince them to join us at Big Green, First Squad deploy."

First Squad left towards Amp plains.

"Amp Plains? Duiring this season?!" Dusknoir said sounding concerned.

"Is there something wrong, Dusknoir?" Aipom King asked.

"Yes there is, First Squad is in terrible DANGER!" And with that Dusknoir rushed out after First Squad.

Later at Amp Plains...

First Squad had finally made it to the summit of the Amp Plains.

"Finally we made it." Sonia said exhausted.

"I know, my legs still hurt from all the walking up here." Mighty Ray added.

"And the Pokémon here, just nasty." Rose added as well.

"Well where here now, so where's the captives?" Lin Chung asked looking around.

"There never were any." A voice rang out.

"A deception, First Squad, a diversion to lure you out. Master Darkrai will reward us royally once we bring you to him."

"Show yourselves, and say that why don't ya?!" Mighty Ray yelled out, his eyes glowing.

"Oh yes, how rude of us."

Suddenly there was a flash of lighting revealing multiple Luxrays and Luxios standing at the peak, with a shiny Luxray in the center.

"I am the chief of the Luxray. My mission is to destroy you, now I'll give you a chance to surrender now and avoid pain later."

"First Squad never goes down with out a fight!" Mighty Ray responded, clearly not thinking before he spoke.

"Hmph, as you wish. Take them!" The Luxrays and Luxios then lunged at First Squad.

"First Squad attack!" Lin Chung commanded.

Sonia swatted back some Luxios with her tongue, and Ember countered their electricity with his fire. Jumpy blocked the electricity with his jump rope, while Pink Fluff stood behind him using Focus Blast. She charged up another blast when a sharp pain in her stomach area struck her, causing her to stop dead in her tracks.

Jumpy looked back concerned.

"Pink Fluff!" He stopped jumping rope.

"You OK?"

"I'm...fine." She clutched her stomach in pain.

"Jumpy look out!" Aura yelled out.

Jumpy looked up to see a Luxio jump at him. It used Iron Tail and knocked him over. It looked down at Pink Fluff, who was still in pain, and saw her as easy prey. It charged up to use Thunderbolt. Jumpy noticed this and threw a few carrots at it, halting it's attack. Rose used Vine Whip to knock over a few Luxrays and entangle two other Luxios. Aura was surrounded at one point, but he waited for the Luxrays and Luxios to get close, and when they jumped at him, he hit them with Force Palm.

Eventually only the chief, one Luxio, and one Luxray were left standing. Mighty Ray pulled out a banana.

"I am Mighty Ray." He swallowed it.

"Fear my Eyeballs!"

"Mighty Ray NO!" But it was too late, Mighty Ray shot out his lightning and struck the trio. At first it knocked them over, but they soon got up and look as though they were rejuvenated. By the time Mighty Ray lost power, the three were standing there looking as though they had just been recharged. They then returned Mighty Ray's blast ten fold.

"Heh, thanks for the recharge, we needed that."

The Trio readied themselves to pounce, but just as they jumped at First Squad their was a flash of light.

"ENOUGH!"

Suddenly Dusknoir was standing between First Squad and the Luxrays.

"Look around you chief, your pack is defeated." Dusknoir pointed out.

"Do you honestly believe three of you would be enough to beat them." He asked pointing a First Squad.

The Chief looked around at his decimated pack and then placed his tail between his legs in submission.

"Very well First Squad, I admit defeat. You have our respect."

Later at Wigglytuff's Guild...

The Luxray chief bowed in respect to Commander Ape Trully and Aipom King.

"The Chief of the Luxrays apologizes for his deception. He hopes for a chance to redeem himself, and wishes to join us at Big Green." Aipom King explained.

"Well Big Green sounds like it's doing a good job, of promoting harmony." Dusknoir said.

"I suppose, it would only be right, that I join in this effort join Big Green."

"It would be an honor to have such renown Pokémon join our cause." Ape Trully responded.

At that moment Wigglytuff approached them.

"Friends, friends. Chatot told me of how you made peace with the Luxray tribe. From now one the Guild and Big Green, will be the bestest of friends."

Ape Trully seemed put off a bit by Wigglytuff's childish behavior.

"If friends would like to visit the guild, they're welcome to at anytime."

Later at Big Green...

The Chief of the Luxrays had found himself a job in helping Raichu king and Crocodile King power Big Green.

"It really is delightful to have the Luxray chief helping out at Big Green." Ape Trully said.

"Isn't it though." Suddenly Aipom King looked around.

"Hey have you seen Dusknoir around lately?"

Meanwhile at the dark edges of Hidden Kingdom...

Dusknoir arrived at a certain large castle. Once inside he bowed before the Pokémon sitting on the throne in the center.

"All prosides as planned, master. The fools at Big Green don't suspect a thing. Though I fear Luxray chief may have been sincere about joining them."

"No matter. The plan is in motion. Now begin with phase two, and make sure you keep suspicion off yourself, at least for now. Oh and if you can, Keep Lin Chung from learning the ways of light, if he brings back Cresselia, my plans could be compromised."

"As you wish, master Darkrai."

Betrayal

~Big Green~

Pink Fluff walked into First Squad's quarters, looking rather ill, and her stomach was swollen.

"Pink Fluff, are you all right? You don't look good." Mystique Sonia asked, as she looked up from brushing her hair.

"I...Don't feel good." Suddenly she turned and upchucked right there on the floor.

"OH GROSS!" Rose yelled seeing that.

"I really don't feel well." Then she found herself feeling feint.

Sonia and Rose caught her as she nearly fell over.

"Oh dear, we really need to get you to the medic."

Sonia and Rose helped Pink Fluff to the medic room where Blissey Queen took a look at Pink Fluff.

"Well you certainly look ill." Blissey Queen said, pulling a thermometer out of her mouth.

"But you're temperatore seems normal."

Suddenly Jumpy rushed in.

"Rose told me Pink Fluff not feeling good. Is she gonna be OK?" He seemed frantic.

"We don't know Jumpy. Blissy Queen is still trying to find out what's wrong with her."

Suddenly the Queen looked at some X-rays she took.

"Oh my. Well Jumpy, it appears nothing is wrong with Pink Fluff." Jumpy sighed hearing this.

"However it looks like you are going to be a dad." She showed him the X-ray, which showed two egg structures in her womb. and inside one there was a Buneary, and inside the other was a bunny.

Jumpy stood there in shock.

"Jumpy's gonna be a dad?!" Sonia asked dumbfounded.

Then she thought of something.

"Wait, how'd she get like that so quickly. Shouldn't it have taken nine months or something?"

"Pokémon pregnancy isn't like human pregnancy." Rose explained.

"It's accelerated."

"How accelerated?"

"Accelerated enough that I estimate she'll be going into labor by the end of the Day."

No one seemed to notice Dusknoir was listening from just outside the door.

"Interesting" He thought.

"This may prove useful to me in the future."

He left towards Lin Chung's room where he found him basking in the sun's rays

"Such an odd custom." He said catching Lin Chung's attention.

"Tell me, for what purpose are you sitting in the sun?"

"I am trying to become one with the light." a small twinge of fear struck Dusknoir hearing that.

"When I scaled Psychic Mountain, the council told me Cressalia will appear before someone who can truly be one with light."

"And you believe basking in the sun like a lizard will help you achieve that?"

"Well, it can never hurt to try."

Dusknoir rolled his pupal and left the room.

"Hmm, perhaps time is of more of an essence than I thought." He reached into the mouth on his stomach and pulled out a small flask full of a pink substance.

"Disabling First Squad is my important mission." He thought, but he then passed the Commander of Darkness' room.

"However a replacement for that Luxray wouldn't hurt."

He entered the room, the commander had tried picking up knitting with help from the Sheep Queen, in an attempt to try and repress some vengeful thoughts in his mind, it hadn't been working to well.

"The Commander of Darkness, I presume?" The commander turned somewhat shocked of being called that again.

"Sorry, but no one calls me that anymore."

"Oh but isn't that your title? I mean you are the Commander of Darkness aren't you?."

"Well yes, but I've given up being a soldier of Darkness. I've turned a new leaf, I am a soldier for Big Green now."

"Come now, do you even believe that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Deep down you know you haven't changed, you just joined them to avoid more humiliation from defeat."

"What are you talking about, Lin Chung saved my life, he gave me a chance to-"

"To what? Be humiliated even further when you were forced to be the partner for that porcupine's 'talent'?"

"How did you know about that?!"

"You really think no one here talks about that? Animals and Pokémon here talk about it to get a laugh out of it everyday."

"They WHAT?!"

"Ah, there it is the spark that only a true commander of darkness can provide."

"How dare they laugh at ME! After I gave up my plans, my schemes, they have the nerve to laugh at ME!? I'll tear them all to shreds!"

"That's the kind of nastiness I admire. You want revenge on them don't you?"

"I want to see them all burn!"

"Then join the forces of Darkness, together we will make sure Big Green burns along with the rest of these 'heroes'."

The commander of darkness stopped for a second and thought, then he thought of something that worried him.

"But what about First Squad? They always win no matter how well thought out the plan may be."

"Oh, you just let me worry about First Squad." He showed him the flask.

"They soon won't be an issue."

Later...

Dusknoir made his way through Big Green.

"Now where would the ventilation room be in this building?"

He looked around but stopped once he saw a particularly beautiful sight. (or at least in his eye) It was Froslass Queen, decorating her already somewhat frozen room with snow globes to remind her of Mt. Freeze, her former home. She sighed a bit, feeling a little homesick.

"Now what could possibly make such a beautiful Pokémon such as yourself, so down?"

Froslass Queen blushed a bit hearing this.

"Oh my, um...I was just reminiscing on my old home. These globes just help me remember the frigid air of Mt. Freeze."

"Mt. Freeze, I have been there before, you must be the Froslass Queen?"

"How'd ya guess?" She asked sheepishly.

"Your name is well known on Mt. Freeze. I had wished to see you on Mt. Freeze, but the blizzard prevented me from meeting you face to face. You're just as beautiful as I had imagined."

Froslass Queen had never quite been spoken to in this manner and this swab Dusknoir was simply dashing in her eyes.

"I can see you miss Mt. Freeze, what if I told you I could make it that you would see your home again?"

"Y-you would do that, for me?"

"Darling there's nothing I wouldn't do for you."

Meanwhile in the clinic...

Pink Fluff let out a loud scream. The pain she was feeling was indescribable. Jumpy and Sonia stood on both her sides trying to calm her down.

"Rose get some water." The Blissey Queen said, and Rose rushed out of the room. Pink Fluff screamed again.

"You're doing great deary, now push, push. You're doing great."

Pink Fluff winced and bit her lip and pushed with all her strength.

"And, it's a live one!" Blissey Queen said holding up one egg.

Pink Fluff panted heavily.

"We're not done here yet, you still have one left."

Pink Fluff sighed, and bit her lip again. She summoned what strength she had left, and pushed with all her might.

"It's coming, it's coming...aaaand, it's a save!" Blissey Queen held up the second egg.

Pink Fluff panted heavily again, completely exhausted.

"Congratulations, Jumpy, Pink Fluff, you're both proud parents of two beautiful eggs."

Jumpy began to jump up excited.

"Now it'll be a few days before these babies hatch, but until then, I'd prepare for parenthood if I were you two."

Later...

First Squad, Second Squad, and the Commanders of Big Green had all gathered to see the new eggs of Jumpy and Pink Fluff. They all stared in awe at the eggs.

"So that's what Pokémon eggs look like." Alpha Girl said staring.

"So you guys are gonna be parents now?" Mighty Ray asked.

"How's that exactly gonna work?" Kowloon asked.

"We will make do." Jumpy responded.

"Pardon me but do you guys smell something?" Rose pointed out.

Everyone sniffed the air, there was a strange scent in the air. Then at that moment, a pink gas emitted from the air vents in the room. Most of First Squad and all of Second Squad breathed in the gas, and almost immediately felt faint. Lin Chung, the Commanders, and Pink Fluff covered their noses.

"What is this stuff?" Pink Fluff asked.

Aipom King recognized this gas.

"It's the poison spores of an Amoonguss. Their poison causes dizziness, and if not treated could lead to death."

"How did Amoonguss spores, get into Big Green's air ducts?!"

"We should go down to the ventilation room to find out." Ape Trully declared.

The four of them ran down to the ventilation room, and were greeted by Dusknoir, Frosslass Queen, and the Commander of Darkness leaving the room.
"You! What have you done?!" Lin Chung yelled at Dusknoir.

"Oh nothing, just administered a family remady to the warriors of Big Green."

"You lied to us!" Pink Fluff yelled.

"Did I? How low of me." He chuckled after that sentence.

"Big Green has always been a thorn in Master Darkrai's plans, but now you won't be interfering any longer."

"We'll find a cure!"

"Unlikely."

Ape Trully looked at The Commander of Darkness, and Froslass Queen with confusion. Froslass Queen turned away, somewhat ashamed.

"Why would you two betray us? I thought we were allies."

"Things change Ape Trully." the Commander sneered.

"I believe we have wasted enough time here, my dear, would you kindly make our exit?"

Froslass Queen whipped up a snow storm.

"Stop!" Lin Chung yelled lunging at them.

"Forgive me Lin Chung." Froslass Queen's voice was distant and soon went silent.

Lin Chung found himself lunging at thin air.

"We will meet again." Lin Chung vowed.

"Lin Chung we must attend to the ill." Aipom King pointed out.

"We can deal with their betrayal later." Ape Trully added.

"You're right we must be quick."

Up next

Poisoned/Shadowlands

Then

An old enemy returns.

Note: Fire and Lightning has been postponed for the time being.
