Chapter 2: Myths and Starters
"Ow..." Flora said as she rubbed her head, wondering what had headbutted her as soon as that giant gold ring appeared.
"Ouch. That didn't go as planned." A young voice softly said, making Flora confused.
"Huh?" She looked down at the source of the voice, and saw a Pokemon she didn't recognize. A small pink cat with blue eyes was sitting on her lap, looking up at her with a curious expression. Flora blinked, then felt herself smile as she softly placed a hand onto the Pokemon's head. It started giggling as its tail started to wag, happy with the touch. "So cute!" Flora softly exclaimed.
"Uh, Flora?" Aria called to her, finally finding her voice after getting over her shock. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" She asked as the genie Pokemon got in her face.
"Boy, you should see the look on your face, Cure Dia!" The Pokemon exclaimed, then started laughing as Aria gave it a small glare. Flora looked around as she stood up, noticing the other Pokemon she'd never seen before as the cat started floating in the air.
"So your the one who's been keeping me up at nights, am I right Hoopa?" She asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice. Flora looked confused as she looked at the genie Pokemon, who had a smirk on his face.
"Hoopa?" She asked.
"Yep! He's a trickster." The cat Pokemon said as more giggles escaped its mouth. The green fairy shook its head in annoyance before letting out a gasp. Flying over to Hoopa, it whispered something to the genie Pokemon. Eyes widening in surprise, Hoopa grabbed one of the rings on its horn and enlarged it as the green fairy directed the others inside. Girls and Pokemon looked confused as all of them, minus Hoopa and the pink cat went through the portal.
"Wait just a minute?!" Aria cried.
"Sorry Pretty Cure, we'll meet up later. Ready Mew?" Hoopa called out as the floating cat, Mew, nodded before sadly glancing at Flora. It then glowed before teleporting the two of them away. Flora and Aria looked at each other in confusion as Sceptile tilted his head, also confused. With a sigh, Aria brought out a Poké Ball and turned to Sceptile. "Thanks for your help Sceptile, now get some rest." With that, she returned her Pokemon just as Flora saw two familiar faces running towards them.
"Amber! Riley!" She called out to them, running to meet them half way. Aria watched as Flora was tackled into a hug by Riley and seemingly scolded by Amber. As she watched them, she couldn't help but feel sad as she saw herself in Flora's position, along with... Aria shook her head as she forced the thoughts away. With a sigh, she held her head and closed her eyes as images started to flood her mind.
Three small figures, darkness clouding them as a red light seemed to bind them together. Two loud roars caused a ringing in her ears as it ended.
"..ria? Aria?!" Aria was brought back to reality as she realized that Flora was in front of her, along with her two friends. Concern laced her face as Flora asked, "Are you alright?"
"Yes. Just got a headache, that's all." She answered. "Are they your friends?" Flora nodded as she introduced Aria to her friends. Unaware that a pair of eyes was currently watching them, staying hidden in plain sight. Focused on Flora, it couldn't help but smile. Letting out a cry, it dive back into the lake, leaving four confused girls behind.
"Um, what was that?" Amber asked.
"Maybe..." Riley started, before her eyes sparkled. "Maybe it was the legendary Pokemon Mesprit!"
"Plausible," Amber said, but shook her head. "But it is nothing more than a legend."
"..." Aria stayed silent as she touched one of her Poké Balls. Flora turned to her friends, her face bearing a sheepish expression.
"Um, sorry for running off like that earlier." She told them. "I know we were all supposed to go get our Starter Pokemon together..."
"Don't sweat it, I wanted to check out the lake myself just like you did." Riley stated, believing that was the reason why Flora came to Lake Verity. Flora nodded, going along with it.
Amber sighed as she scratched her head, thinking back to earlier. "I'd almost reach Sandgem Town, but then I saw part of the sky turn red, right over Lake Verity." Aria and Flora stayed silent as they looked at each other. "I got worried about you and Riley, Flora."
"But as you can see, we are both fine!" Riley exclaimed, then put on a sheepish expression. "Though I guess I did blacked out for a moment before Amber found me. I'm okay now, so there's no need to worry!"
"That's when we worry the most." Flora and Amber said at the same time, Riley putting her hands behind her head. Aria smiled as she thought, 'Never a dull moment it seems.' Then she thought back to when the mythical Pokemon left. Where did they go?
"Celebi?" Mew asked the green fairy Pokemon. "Why did we have to leave so soon?"
"Because we can't be seen by anyone else other than Pretty Cure." Celebi answered. Currently the mythical Pokemon were hanging out in the secret base they made. It was filled with many things that reminded them of home, toys, plants and flowers, a comet and tons of food, mainly berries and donuts. Each of them were content with doing their own things, except for Mew.
"But what if they were Pretty Cure as well? It wouldn't hurt if they saw us." Mew said.
Celebi frowned at the Pokemon. "Even so, now isn't the time to reveal ourselves to anyone else." The Pokemon let out a sigh as it shook its head. "And the last thing I need is to go back in time to fix a mistake caused here in the present!"
Mew pouted, but didn't say anymore as it floated over to a couple of toys. Using its psychic powers, Mew lifted a big ball and caused it to spin in place. "Toss it over here Mew!"
"Alright Jirachi, here it comes." Mew stopped using psychic before headbutting the ball over to the star Pokemon. Jirachi laughed as it called out, "Catch Victini, catch!" And tossed over to the victory Pokemon. Victini giggled before tossing the ball over to Mew, using some of its power to give it a boost. Instead of catching it, Mew got knocked out of the air. The two Pokemon gasped, before signing in relief as Mew was caught in metal arms.
"Nice save Magearna." Jirachi called out as Magearna tilted its head to the side.
"Are you alright Mew?" The Pokemon asked, which was answered by a dizzy Mew. "Someone get the number of that truck? Cause I'm under..."
"I didn't mean to hurt it, honest!" Victini cried, feeling guilty for the incident. Mew shook its head as it floated out of Magearna's arms.
"Don't worry Victini, I'm okay. Just got distracted, you know me." It said, making Victini feel better. "You know what, I think I'm going to go exploring. See you guys later!" Without another word, Mew teleported away. Where, the others didn't know, but Magearna had an idea where. Smiling internally, Magearna looked over to a blue egg with small yellow orbs and one large red orb in the center.
"Cure Dia and Cure Pearl..." Mercury couldn't help but frown as she watched footage of the battle. At least she was smart enough to record the event so she could study it, unlike some others she knew... Pausing the video, she turned to three moaning girls who were tending to their wounds. They wore the same uniform as she did, and had the same colored eyes as her. The only thing setting them apart from her was their hair styles and colors. The first one had orange hair put into two buns shaped like fox ears. The second one had yellow hair put in a tight braid that reached to her waist. The third and final one had sea green hair that waved all the way down to her knees.
"Venus, Uranus and Neptune?" She addressed them, putting the on alert, wincing in pain as they did. "Do I even want to know what happened?"
"Well..." They said at once, trying to come up with an answer. Mercury couldn't help but sigh, knowing she wasn't going to get anywhere with them. "At least you managed to gather some dark energy to revive our mistress. Not to mention accomplish some tasks for the boss."
"True, the same spiking of energy found in Lake Acuity is similar to the one your reports showed in Lake Verity." Neptune spoke up as she managed to pull up readings, one pink, the other yellow. "Can't really say much on the dark energy, gathering small amounts of it just won't do."
"Don't forgot that when we tried dynamaxing to gather more energy, that Precure showed up." Venus stated as she tried to lay down. Mercury spun towards her as she felt anger rising within her.
"You mean there's a third?!" She questioned, making the others turn to her in shock.
"You faced one yourself?!" Neptune asked her.
"One? There were two of them!" Mercury started pacing. "What was her name?" She asked Neptune, who shrugged.
"No idea, we didn't even know she was there until it was suddenly over." Neptune answered.
"But she's a huge problem!" Venus pointed out as Mercury stopped pacing.
"Agreed, as long as that Pretty Cure is around, we can't get anything done!" Uranus exclaimed, before shouting in pain for the sudden movement. Mercury shook her head, but Uranus did have a point. If there were those who wanted to oppose them, then they had to be eliminated immediately. And she knew exactly who to start with.
Flying high above Sandgem Town was Mew, disguised as a Starly, trying to find Pretty Cure, but more specifically, Cure Pearl. Normally if a human saw it, they would either freak out or try to catch it, which was funny to see them try. But Cure Pearl reacted calmly, and didn't even freak out when it spoke using telepathy. Mew wanted to know more about her, but looking for one human was like finding a needle in a haystack. Landing on a roof, it perked up. Changing itself into a bug Pokemon covered in sand, a Burmy, it hung itself as it looked into the window.
Inside the building was Flora, Amber, Riley, and Aria, along with an old man in a brown coat. Knowing that the three girls didn't have a Pokemon of their own, Aria decided to escort them to Professor Rowan's laboratory. Knowing that Aria was an experienced trainer, Flora agreed with the others following suit. It didn't take them long to get to Sandgem Town, but once they did, the three rookies almost regretted it. Arriving at the same time as Professor Rowan, he was very intimidating at first glance. Though after seeing Aria not afraid and carrying a conversation with him, they relaxed.
Now here they were, with Professor Rowan opening his briefcase to reveal three Poké Balls. "Inside are the three Starter Pokemon you may choose from." Professor Rowan explained. "The grass turtle Pokemon, Turtwig. The fire chimp Pokemon, Chimchar. And the water penguin Pokemon, Piplup."
"A grass, fire and water type starters, just like back in Hoenn." Aria said as Flora turned to her. "New trainers could get a Treecko, Torchic or Mudkip as their Starter Pokemon." She explained.
"Which one did you choose Aria?" Flora asked, though she had a feeling she already knew the answer.
"I chose Treecko to be my Starter Pokemon." Aria answered. That made sense, given that the Pokemon Flora saw Aria sent out was Sceptile, the final evolution for Treecko.
"Choosing a grass type, I like the way you think." Amber said as she went first. Picking up the Poké Ball on the left, she nodded, knowing this was the Pokemon she wanted.
"I don't know, I think fire types are the way to go." Riley argued, picking the Poké Ball in the middle. "Especially if you want some real power on your team!" Amber rolled her eyes at Riley's claim.
Flora gave a small smile as she grabbed the final Poké Ball, holding it close to her heart before letting the Pokemon out. Amber and Riley did the same, revealing Piplup, Turtwig and Chimchar. The Pokemon looked up at their new trainers, and they smiled. Amber bent down to rub Turtwig's shell, the Pokemon liking the touch. Chimchar gave Riley a high five, which she happily returned. Piplup looked up curiously at Flora before offering a flipper and a smile. Flora smiled too as she bent down and shook the flipper, both laughing. Aria smiled as she watched them, making her remember the day she got Sceptile when he was just a little Treecko. Mew smiled too. It liked seeing Pokemon happy, and those three looked especially happy to meet their new trainers.
Surprise!
Mew couldn't help but yelp in surprise as it lost its grip and landed hard on the ground, losing the sand around it as Mew dropped the disguise. "What's the big idea Hoopa?" Mew asked.
Hehe! Did I surprise you?
"Yeah yeah. Let me guess, Celebi wants me to come back?" Mew knew how uptight Celebi could be when it came to timing, given what it was known for.
Nope. Celebi wants us to meet up with Pretty Cure. I've already sent Jirachi to meet with Mr. Boogie Man's partner.
Mew blinked. "You mean there's a third? Already?"
Shocker I know. Happened around the same time Cure Dia and Cure Pearl awakened. So come on already!
"Okay, I'll be right there. Can't wait till you can use your rings for yourself!" Mew giggled as Hoopa mentally scoffed at it, before opening one of its rings, with the cat Pokemon flying in.
"You know, I'm surprised you didn't want to stick around to see your friends first Pokemon battle." Aria said as she and Flora made their way down to the beach south of Sandgem Town. After receiving their own Pokedex, Riley was quick to challenge Amber, and they agreed to have it north of Sandgem Town. Flora shrugged as she held Piplup in her arms. "Not a big fan of them are you?" Aria guessed. Flora blinked as she looked at Aria, before letting out a sigh.
"Not really." She answered. "I know battles are a really big deal, but I just don't like seeing Pokemon fight." Sadness filled her eyes as she looked down. "It's...it is hard to explain..."
"..." Aria stayed silent as she looked at the young girl who perked herself up as she petted Piplup. It didn't take long to reach the beach, and Piplup was happy to be near the water. Jumping out of Flora's arms, he ran over to the water before jumping in. The girls smiled as they watched the penguin Pokemon happily splash around. Aria sat down on the sand as she looked out the water. She shivered a bit as she held her arms. "Should've brought a jacket." She told herself.
"Here." Flora held out a grey jacket to Aria as she sat down. "I brought an extra with me. You can have it if you want."
"Thanks." Aria accepted the jacket and put it on. Taking in a deep breath, she looked ahead at the sea. "Weather's nice today."
"Yeah, it is...Aria?" Flora asked.
"Yeah?
"How long have you been a trainer?"
"Hm, about 2 years now."
"Started at 10?"
"12."
"12?!"
Aria laughed as she looked at the young girl, "I may not look like it, but I'm actually 14."
"I'd never guess, you look my age." Flora shrugged as Aria put a hand on their shoulder.
"Don't worry, I get that a lot on my travels." Taking her hand away, Aria stood up and stretched. Flora looked down as she thought her words carefully.
"Why do you battle?" She asked Aria, who turned to her. "I mean, besides the fact it's part of being a trainer, why?"
"Well, at first it was to become stronger, for me and my Pokemon." Aria said as she shrugged. "Then it started to become a way to protect others when they couldn't defend themselves." She frowned for a moment before smiling. "Kind of like when we became Pretty Cure earlier...whatever that means." Flora blinked as she looked down, she had never seen battling as a way to protect others. The way she saw it, Pokemon battles were used for sport, and that didn't sit right with her. People enjoying seeing Pokemon get hurt until there was a clear winner, she didn't like that. But to defend others...Flora smiled as she looked Aria in the eye, she could tell she meant those words.
"Aria?" Flora started to ask before a familiar cry broke the silence, causing Aria to turn around. "Piplup!" She gasped, quickly standing up as they witnessed the Pokemon glow red before growing to the size of a giant. Piplup had just Dynamax.
"Piplup!" The penguin Pokemon cried out as the sky turned red, just like earlier that day at Lake Verity.
"Why?" Flora asked. Aria looked around, trying to find the source. Frowning, she closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them. Grabbing her Poké Ball, she brought Sceptile who stood ready for battle. "Sceptile, False Swipe, 4 o'clock." She told him, nodding before his hand started to glow white. Turning clockwise, Sceptile swiped at a nearby bush, causing a figure to jump away from the attack. Flora's eyes widened as she instantly recognized who it was.
"Mercury!" Flora exclaimed.
"The one and only." Mercury said with a wicked grin. "Too bad your Pokemon missed, you could have eliminated me."
Aria returned Sceptile as she glared at the girl. "Wasn't aiming at you directly." Was all she said before crossing her arms.
"Why did you Dynamax Piplup?!" Flora questioned, Mercury faking shock.
"You are accusing me of doing this? You wound me Pretty Cure...he. Ha. Hahahaha!" Aria and Flora frowned as they stood side by side, getting in defensive stances. When Mercury was done laughing, her expression turned serious. "Should have gotten rid of me when you had the chance. Now this will be your downfall. Piplup, use Max Geyser!"
"Pip?" The Pokemon asked as he tilted his head. Who was this girl? And what was she talking about? Mercury glared at the Pokemon as she asked, "What's the matter with you? Attack!"
"It won't do you any good." Aria stated as Flora brought out her Pokedex, the cover pink. "First of all, you're not Piplup's trainer, therefore, doesn't know you." Looking over Flora's shoulder, she smirked as she looked at Mercury. "Secondly, Piplup only knows two moves, neither one of them being a water type move."
"So change Piplup back to normal right now!" Flora told Mercury as she put her Pokedex away. Mercury gritted her teeth, realizing her mistake. "If it won't listen to me," she started as the energy around her wrist changed from red to violet. "I'll force it to! Dynamax Piplup! Seal the light and unleash the darkness within!" Aiming at Piplup, she fired a violet beam at the Pokemon, making it cry out in pain as a dark aura started to surround it. Eyes turning blood red as it's expression became emotionless. Flora and Aria gaped in horror as they stood back in fear, gripping hands as they did so.
"May I introduce Shadow Dynamax Piplup!" Mercury announced as she pointed to the dark sky. "Now, I command you to attack those two! Attack the Pretty Cure!"
Heavy footsteps shook the earth as red eyes stared down at the girls. Turning towards the water, the penguin Pokemon jumped into the ocean, causing a gigantic splash. And created a gigantic wave that was heading for the beach. Eyes widening in surprise, Mercury quickly vanished from the shores. Flora and Aria held each other close as they braced for impact, before feeling themselves falling. Looking down, they saw a familiar gold ring surround them as they fell into the portal. Coming out came Mew as it faced the wave.
"Psychic!" It cried out as its eyes glowed. In motion, the wave halted as it glowed pink before it was slowly brought down. "Phew! That was close. Hey Hoopa, you can bring them back now!" Mew called out as he kept his eye on the giant Pokemon who was slowly turning around as slowly walking towards them. Two screams were heard as the girls landed behind Mew, Aria glaring inside the portal as Hoopa stuck his head out from above them.
"Did I surprise you?" Hoopa asked as he started laughing. Aria quickly stood up as she placed her hand on her hips. "Couldn't you give us a warning before you did that?" She asked.
"Would you rather be hit by a giant wave?" Hoopa asked sarcastically. Flora stood up as she took a few steps to the ocean. Biting her lip, Flora remembered what Aria said earlier.
"...it started to become a way to protect others when they couldn't defend themselves. Kind of like when we became Pretty Cure earlier..."
"It'll be okay." Mew said, making Flora turn to it. Determination was in it's eyes, making her determined as well. Taking a deep breath, she knew what she had to do.
"I know. Aria?" Flora turned to Aria, who quickly grabbed her hand. "Ready when you are Flora. Let's get Piplup back to normal."
"Right!" Squeezing their hands together, the jewels glowed pink and grey, forming a light barrier around them. Inside, they formed a cross with their free arms, hands in a fist, and bodies glowing as they cried out, "Aura Transform! Precure Style!"
In a matter of seconds, they had changed from regular girls, to magical girls. Opening their eyes, they posed. "The jewel of time, Cure Dia!" The diamond on her bow shining. "The jewel of space, Cure Pearl!" The two pearls gleamed in unison.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" They declared as they struck a pose. "Oh dark soul who lost his sight," Pearl began as she pointed at Piplup. "We guardians shall restore your light!" Dia finished.
Mercury returned just as the curtain of light died down, and was not pleased. Even with applying the Dynamax Pokemon with shadow energy, it still ignored her. Then again, this was an experimental technique that hadn't been used before. But knowing she would get twice the amount of dark energy as a regular dynamaxing, it would be worth it. Mercury winced in pain as she looked down at her wrist. The device was crackling as if it was malfunctioning. "Well, that's just great. Instead of getting too little, now it's too much." Mercury sighed as she looked where Pretty Cure was, only to have a retake as soon as her eyes laid on Mew.
Great. Just what we need. A Shadow Pokemon. A Shadow Pokemon far out at sea.
"Somehow I don't think we'll be able to fight on the water." Cure Dia stated as Shadow Dynamax Piplup slowly turned around to face them, causing small waves.
"But maybe we can send him back here?" Cure Pearl thought as the gears in her brain started turning. "We're strong enough to send him back to the beach, I think."
"You know we might hurt him" Dia pointed out, which made Pearl frown. "And what's to stop him from trying to go back in?"
"I'm aware of that," Pearl started. "But something tells me that Piplup isn't going to come willingly
"He won't, now that he's been stripped of his emotions. Piplup is like a robot now." Mew stated as he circled around them. "But you can use your powers to get to him."
"What powers exactly?" Dia asked.
Isn't it obvious? Cure Dia controls time and Cure Pearl controls space.
"How about being more specific, Hoopa?" Annoyance laced in Cure Dia's voice.
"Well, if we start with the basics," Mew began. "Cure Pearl can warp wherever she thinks. Cure Dia can freeze anything in time, for at least 30 seconds."
"That's the basics?" Dia questioned.
"There's a lot to learn." Mew explained. "Oh! But you can only use your powers per transformation. Well, Cure Pearl gets two chances, due to having two jewels. But you get the idea."
"So basically we get one shot. That's great." Cure Dia said sarcastically.
"But if that's the case, I got an idea." Cure Pearl leaned into Cure Dia's ear and whispered her plan. Mew tried to listen to what she was saying, and giggled when it got the gist of it. "We have to make this count." Pearl stated.
"We'll make it count alright. Let's do it!" Dia declared as they both jumped into the air. Mercury watched them, wondering what they were up to. In the air, Pretty Cure grabbed hands and swung themselves around at a fast pace. With precise timing, Cure Dia was flung towards the giant Pokemon as the pearls on Cure Pearl's sleeves started to glow.
"Pretty Cure Aura Pearl Warp!" She shouted as the air around her turned pink before seemingly vanishing. She then reappeared right behind Shadow Dynamax Piplup, giving him a kick in the head.
The Pokemon cried out in pain, ducking as he held his head. Pearl released a breath she'd been holding, at least he'd felt something. Glancing at her shoulders, she saw one of the pearls went dim. "One more chance." She told herself, holding her hands out.
Cure Dia flew over the Pokemon's head, managing to link hands with Cure Pearl as they spun again. With a battle cry, Pretty Cure flung themselves forward with a powerful kick. The power built up was enough to send the giant Pokemon towards the beach. At the same time, the area around Pretty Cure glowed pink, warping them back to the beach.
Quickly, Cure Dia placed her hands on the diamond as it glowed. "Pretty Cure Aura Dia Freeze!" She shouted, spreading her hands forward. A grey beam shot from the diamond just as Shadow Dynamax Piplup was a foot from them. Striking the Pokemon, he turned grey as it was frozen in time.
Both girls noticed that their jewels were dim, but were glad that Cure Pearl's plan worked. Mercury on the other hand wasn't pleased. More dark energy was sparking, but she forced herself to ignored it. She had her hidden camera record the battle since Mercury felt her eyes trying to close on her own.
Now's your chance!
"Right!" They agreed, knowing what to do. Linking their hands together, light started to shine within them. "Jewels of time and space." Cure Pearl began, her pearls shining again. "Transcend together into the gleaming light." Cure Dia finished as her diamond shined as well. Thrusting their free hands forward they shouted, "Pretty Cure Aura Jewel Pulse!" Pink and grey pulse shot towards Shadow Dynamax Piplup as he started to move again.
Glowing pink, the effects of shadow energy disappeared, healing any injuries during the battle. Then glowing grey, Piplup returned to his normal size. Mew cheered, circling around Pretty Cure as they changed back. Aria smiled as she grabbed her jewel.
Flora quickly ran up to Piplup, embracing her Pokemon as tears threaten to fall. "I'm so glad you're alright!" She exclaimed as she started crying. Piplup, though confused, comforted his trainer the best he could. Mew floated over and landed on Flora's head, giving it a hug.
Mercury hissed as the pain finally stopped, but looking at her wrist... "Soon Pretty Cure. Soon!" She declared, then left. Unaware that someone had been watching as well. "So they are supposed to be my allies..I don't need them." A feminine voice said. Sinking into the shadows, the figure left, seeing no purpose being there any longer. Aria turned to the spot, looking confused for a moment before shrugging.
Hours later, now late afternoon, Flora and Aria had made camp just north of Sandgem Town. The mythical Pokemon joined them once everyone was ready. Piplup played with Jirachi and Mew as Sceptile, Celebi and Magearna helped Flora set out the food bowls. Aria was cooking some stew when she felt something drop on her left shoulder.
"Hoopa and Victini, you are drooling on me." She told them, making the two Pokemon back off, saying sorry as they did so. Aria shook her head, but smiled. Despite the fact they were super rare Pokemon, they weren't so bad. Even after Flora put two and two together, she still felt the same and had bonded with Mew.
"Okay everyone, food is ready!" Aria called out, making all the Pokemon cheer. Once the food was distributed, everyone started eating, and immediately liked it. When asked about Aria's other Pokemon, she told them that they had already ate earlier that day, while Flora was at the Pokemon lab. The reason why was because there were a few things she wanted to know, one of them about Pretty Cure.
"So did Professor Rowan know anything about Pretty Cure?" Aria asked once the two finished eating. Flora shook her head no, the professor didn't know anything about it. "Great." Aria said sarcastically.
"No surprise there, Pretty Cure is a forgotten legend." Hoopa said after eating the last bite. "No one has seen or heard of them in a long time."
"So why now? And why us?" Aria asked the genie Pokemon, who shrugged.
"Not until the team is gathered." Celebi spoke up, landing on the table. "Three of you have awakened, now three others must as well. Once gathered, all will be explained."
"But who is the third?" Flora asked Celebi. The green Pokemon hummed as it turned to Jirachi.
Sighing, it answered, "We don't know. Jirachi has met her, but she made a wish to remain hidden when transformed. Which Jirachi granted..."
"I couldn't help it," Jirachi claimed. "Wishing is what I do. And she said she'd prefer it that way. And the only one who can see her is..." The star Pokemon shook its head, not wanting to say the name.
"Guess it'll just be a surprise then." Hoopa said, a grin on his face. Mew smiled as it was about to join Flora, then remembered something. Teleporting for a few seconds, it came back in a panic.
"Guys! The egg, it's gone!" Mew exclaimed.
"What?!" The mythical Pokemon shouted at once, with Flora and Aria looking at each other in confusion.
Somewhere down a river, a girl was currently doing some fishing. Though at the moment, she wasn't having much luck. Pulling the rod back, the girl was ready to give up, before something caught her eye. Stuck between a couple of branches, near the edge, was a familiar blue egg.
And done! Thank you so much for reading, review if you can and I will see you...
Wait? Should I have done this in the first chapter?
...Oh well. See you next time!
