The Lost City of Twilight

Chapter 37: To the Darkness

"Are you all ready?" Baron asks.

"You bet!" Everyone says.

"Then let's go…To the kingdom of darkness." Baron says. Then they start their journey from the Mist Kingdom to the Phantom Kingdom.

"Latios." Baron says.

"Yes?" Latios says.

"Which type of Pokemon lives in the Noirero Province?" Baron asks.

"Dark and ghost." Latios says.

"How about the Lightview Province?" Anna asks.

"Normal, fighting and psychic." Latios says.

"So, where is the dragon type Pokemon live?" Baron asks.

"…I will tell you later. Now we are in the Noirero Province already." Latios says.

"What?! How fast!" Anna says.

"Where is the Palace of Phantom?" Baron asks.

"Pass the town to the Northwest." Latias answers.

"Town?" Baron says.

"You will see soon." Latios says. Then they continue their journey until they reach the Twidark Town.

"This town gives me a depress feeling…" Anna says.

"Yeah,. Why all villagers look so depressing?" Baron says. Then a dark type Pokemon walks to them.

"Baron? Long time no see!" A dark type Pokemon says.

"It's you, Zoroark." Baron says.

"Who is that Pokemon?" Anna asks. Then Baron explains everything to Anna.

"By the way, Zoroark, why are you here?" Baron asks.

"I just come to this town because of that Phantom. The reason that why all villagers are depressing because that Phantom Kingdom always comes to invade this town. All villagers in this town hate Phantom." Zoroark says.

"It means that not all parts of this province like that Phantom?" Baron says.

"Yes. This town isn't on that Phantom side." Zoroark says.

"So, what you are going to do?" Latios says.

"Lucario and I are gathering the Pokemon at the guild." Zoroark says.

"For what?" Ordin asks.

"Strike back the Phantom Kingdom." Zoroark says.

"What?! Are you mad?" Jedi says.

"I am serious, Lucario too, he didn't sleep enough since the last month because he always makes a plan to fight the Phantom Kingdom." Zoroark says.

"That's tough." Scarley says.

"Now I must go back to the Lightview Guild, see you." Zoroark says and walks out of the town.

"That's good news." Baron says.

"Yes, I hate that Phantom. They hurt the innocent Pokemon." Anna says.

"So, where to go next?" Baron says.

"North of this town, let's go." Latios says. Then they continue their adventure.

"Tonight let's rest here." Baron says while they are travelling on the Noirero Trail. Everyone agrees with him. After everyone falls into the deep sleep, Tysand wakes up and walks to the area far from their camp, where Falcon awaits.

"Brother, why do you call me to come here?" Falcon asks. Now he is petting Cathy, who fall into the deep sleep.

"Your doll…" Tysand says.

"It is my slave, not my friend." Falcon says.

"Anyway, the reason that I call you here because I want to know about the reason why you can't remember me. And why your age is two years lower than me." Tysand says.

"Because of the darkness." Falcon says.

"Darkness?" Tysand says.

"You know, when I was a little Lugia, I can't control my dark side. I always change to my dark form when I am fear, hate or sad. That is the thing that brings me to the eternal darkness." Falcon says.

"Tell it to me." Tysand says.

"Back to the past, when we were eight years old, after you disappeared, I was stuck in the loneliness. I have no friend except you. But you were gone, so I decided to use my magic to give a life to my favorite doll. That doll is Cathy. After I gave a life to Cathy, I learned that magic that can give a life to the lifeless thing is very hard to learn. Because that magic is…the mix of Light Magic and Dark Magic." Falcon says.

"The mix of two kinds of magic?" Tysand says.

"In this world, there are five kinds of magic. The Melody Magic like Lumiere's magic. The Summoning Magic like Anna's magic. The Spellblade Magic like your magic. And the rest two kinds are the Light Magic and the Dark Magic." Falcon says.

"What is the difference among all kinds of magic?" Tysand asks.

"The Melody Magic is the magic that hides in the melody. Once the Melody Magic user plays the song, the hidden magic will evince. The Summoning Magic is the magic that use to summon the Legendary Pokemon. The Spellblade Magic is the magic that use to power up the weapon or give the weapon a new ability." Falcon says.

"So, some kind of magic can mix together, right?" Tysand says.

"Yes, some kind of magic can mix together except the Light Magic and the Dark Magic. Because both kinds are opposite. Light Magic can make this world become more progress. But the Dark Magic is the magic that makes this world fall into the darkness, like the magic that Phantom use to open to gate to The Lost City of Twilight." Falcon says.

"What will happen if the Light Magic mixes with the Dark Magic?" Tysand asks.

"Although they say the Light Magic and the Dark Magic can't mix together, but after I can mix it together, I have sent to the space between the dimensions." Falcon says.

"What?!" Tysand says.

"Yes, the space between the dimension is the place like the world of the end. It makes me stop growing. But after two years, I can finally get out of that space. That explains about why my age is two years lower than you." Falcon says.

"What happen after you got out of that space?" Tysand asks.

"Although my body started growing again, but I fell unconscious for seven years." Falcon says.

"What?! That's impossible!" Tysand says.

"But it's true. When I woke up, I felt so panic. Because the time has passed for seven years, my body was growing from the baby Lugia to the full size Lugia, but my memory and mind still the same as the nine years ago. And some of my memory has sealed in the darkness too." Falcon says.

"That explains why you sometimes act childish." Tysand says.

"Yes, brother." Falcon says.

"Enough for today. I will call you later when I want to know more about you. Let's go back to the camp." Tysand says.

"Brother…" Falcon says.

"Yes?" Tysand says.

"…Please promise me, don't leave me alone anymore. My life is in the darkness enough, I don't want to live in the darkness anymore…" Falcon says.

"I promise…" Tysand says.

"That's good…" Falcon says. Then they walk back to the camp together.
