Chapter 25

It is early morning at Unova City. The sun is slowly rising from the eastern horizon behind the mountains that is barely visible. But Team RWBY and Prof. Acacia are already up and are about to take-off towards the ruins in the Extinction Desert. Before they took-off, they tell him the story of the haunted mansion and the pokemon they caught. "That is interesting." Acacia says through the microphone of the headset so everyone can understand what they are saying through the sounds of the engine. "Never heard of a mansion close to Unova City. Must have been one of those research bases that was erased many years ago. Did you find anything such as journals or research notes?" "No we haven't" Weiss responded, "We got scared and Yang went berserk after a Rotom shocked her." Acacia then laughs through the headset.

"That's pretty funny. Good that you caught some ghost-types, but too bad you didn't find anything." "We were scared at first but muster the courage to face it." Blake says to Acacia. "Can you tell us about the history of this region?" Ruby says with anticipation, "I could use a good story for the long journey." "...Very well."

Long ago, the New Found Region was whole and had was the only home to a large abundance of the pokemon once known as, Mew. Yet this land was discovered by two different tribes of people. The Draconid People and the People of the Water. Both societies lived in harmony with the land and the pokemon they brought to this land. They colonized and settled in this land and worshiped them as messengers of their so-called gods such as Kyogre and Rayquaza.

Yet such prosperity can attract unwanted attention from afar. The first invaders was the Empire of Pokelantis. They came all the way from the present-day Kanto Region because the King believed that the Mew may have the power to communicate to Ho-oh. So that way, he can use Ho-oh's power to take over the world. The battle was fierce as both side had warriors and pokemon to fight over the land. But eventually, the people of New Found won and drove Pokelantis back to the sea. Yet years later, in the southern regions, people started to build a giant city that expanded all over the valley and use the invisible energy to power it known as, The Dragon Force.

The city prospered and grew with humans and pokemon living together with the city being part urban and part nature. This city was known as Vale City.

"Wait, wait, wait! Stop, stop, stop!" Ruby rudely interrupted. "We have a kingdom and city called Vale back on Remnant. Do you think there is a connection?" The other three members just glared at her, believing that such a thing is impossible. "Think about it. We have that temple back home that transported us here. So it can't be that far off." After thinking about, Ruby's story may hold some truth. "You might be right, Ruby." Weiss says after realizing that.

"Could be." Acacia says, "It is possible that people from our world may have gone to your world. Now please don't interrupt." "Sorry."

Where was I? Oh yeah, Vale City! *short cough* Once again, such prosperity attracted unwanted from afar. Warlords from the region of Ransei show and try to take the land by force. The Warlords use such brutality on many coastal towns and cities that most of the people were forced to flee and the Warlords make it their home. But the people refused to give up their home and what happened may have been a mistake. They used the Dragon Force to shatter the north and transform it into an inhospitable area with mountains rising high in the sky, snow storms that happen at random, and a cold tundra swamp that makes it impossible to live in.

And so, the Warlords retreated back to the Ransei Region. The people were victorious, but at a cost with the north now in shambles. But today, we have a few settlements that are in the Northern Area. But they are hard to get to and not much activity. Yet despite all that, that's not what killed the civilization.

"What happened?" Ruby interrupts again.

"I'm getting there and please stop interrupting." Acacia says with a bit of disappointment in his tone.

"Sorry...again."

You know about the meteor that the Yggdrasil Tree is growing? Well there were a few meteors that rain down on New Found and caused great disasters. These meteors transformed the land that cause land masses to shift, floods and fire that consumed the land, and changed the region forever. The other meteors landed in different areas. One of which created what is known as the Extinction Desert, where Vale City was. Most of it is still visible and in ruins in the south most areas. But the rest have been reduced to sand and rock. Not to mention that the heart of the Everlasting Sandstorm is where the meteor struck.

There are a few more scattered around New Found with some forming natural landmarks. There is the Blazewater Volcano. It was a hibernating volcano until the meteor struck it down. But now it is a hot springs resort and it is now an island. Another is the Obsidian Coral Reef. It is a coral reef with some volcanic activity with some of the reefs made of pure obsidian with coral on it.

But let's stay on track with the story. After the cataclysm, everyone and almost everything was wiped out. Both people and pokemon alike perish. Now we cut to 50 years ago, where people from other regions started to colonize the New Found Region and populate it with their regions' pokemon. Then all of a sudden, many legendary pokemon just appeared. No one knows how or why they appeared. They just...appeared. Yet the only legendary pokemon we have here are the Golem pokemon at certain temples. They didn't exist, except for Rayquaza, until now.

"And then we cut to present day where my job is to study how mythical and legendary pokemon just showed up in present day. The end!" Acacia finished the story about the origins of New Found. Before they know it, they are flying over the Stormwall Mountains. "Uh, sir." the pilot says over the radio with a nervous tone, "We have a problem. The sandstorm showed up early. We may have to go around it and head towards the Desert Research Site. Do you copy?" "Copy that." Acacia replies, "Contact the site and we'll make there via jeep once the storm pass." "Roger!"

"HOLY-!" Yang went as she looked at the window of the helicopter. The rest of Team RWBY checked out the window and what they see is a giant sandstorm not too far from the mountains. "That is HUGE!" Ruby says out loud. "I thought the sandstorms in Menagerie were big." Blake replies as she has already seen sandstorms before back on Remnant. But none were as huge as the one outside the window. "Is the power of the meteor doing that?" Weiss asks while looking at the sand storm. "Your half-correct. Some of the Dragon Force energy is unstable in these parts so there are going to be sandstorms, quicksands, and sudden thunderstorms. It is almost impossible for anyone to live here with the exception of the oasis we are going to. The only things that can survive in this environment are ground-type pokemon."

The helicopter flies over the mountains to avoid getting caught in the storm. After an hour, they arrive at the research site with a large oasis close to the mountains along with some sort of dome close by. Everyone gets off and prepare themselves for what is coming next: Going through the sandstorm on a jeep. Will they get through the Extinction Desert's hostile environments? Tune in next week for another exciting chapter! Keep in touch!

The answer to questions:

For New Universe Returns:

The official site to download it is down because of Nintendo. But you can get it at certain sites such as .com(slash) . However, you can use google to find other sites. If you are wondering why I name the website is because everytime I try to type a website in and post it, the name of the website disappears. Plus there are also other Pokemon fan games (still in demo) you can check out such as Pokemon Solar Light & Lunar Dark, Pokemon Sage, and Pokemon S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M.
