Author's Note: Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that on April 30, 2002,
I have been an author at Fanfiction.Net for a whole year! Yaaay! ^_^ I
have seen authors come and go. (actually, I've seen a lot of new authors

Chapter Six: A rude Awaking
As the sun peeked its reddish-orange head in the distant, its light shined through the darkness, making the dark skies turn into a brilliant navy blue. Bird pokemon of all species have already wakened and was looking for breakfast. Some of them sat on their branches and chipped for a while, making everyone around them wake up. Their chipping was smooth and relaxing, making everyone around them (that was already awake) feel more calm and less grouchy.
But there was one bird's chipping that didn't make anyone relax. Pidgey.
"Pi! Pi-gee! Geee!"
Her voice was deeper than any bird pokemon around her, making it sound like something that wasn't from this world. Also, her tone was awful, making her chipping even worst than it was. But she did one thing correctly; she woke up everyone around her.
"Oh man…." Max groan, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, "what is that awful sound?"
"I don't know." Crystal said, sitting up from her sleeping position. She, too, began to rub the sleep out of her eyes.
Max slowly stood up and observe his surroundings. He didn't see or hear any pokemon around them, which was strange. The bird pokemon that were chirping a few minutes ago, were now quiet. It was also strange because pokemon were common in these areas.
"I think that sound scared away all the pokemon." He murmured to himself.
Crystal began to stand up and look around. She could see Rattata sitting side-ways in his sleeping spot, looking tired and gloomy. His ears and his head were lowered a bit. Totodile didn't look much different expect that she doesn't have ears and her eyelids were halfway closed. Both of them looked like living zombies. Crystal looked over at Max, just to find him having an expression of a man who lost something valuable and cannot find it. His eyes were wide and he turned his head in every direction. She would have laughed if he didn't look so serious.
"What are you looking for?" She asked after watching him for a moment.
"I'm looking for the beast that is making that awful sound!" He replied, cocking his head to hear the creature more better. Crystal also cocked her head to hear the sound. Both of them didn't have to wait long.
"Pi! Gee! Pi-geeee!"
The last chip was so badly off-note that everyone in the camping area cringed at the sound.
"It's a Pidgey." Max said through his teeth.
Shaking her head to get rid of the awful sound that echoed through her mind, Crystal suddenly realized that she was missing a pokemon.
"Hey," she said, turning her head right to left, "where's Pidgey?"
"I don't—" He suddenly stopped himself from finishing his own sentence. Crystal stopped her search and turned her attention to him. He had a dark expression on his face as he turned to face Crystal. "I know who's making that noise."
Putting two and two together, Crystal covered her mouth with her hand, not to gasp, but to giggle.
"I don't think that Pidgey is really that bad." She said, but she knew that it was Pidgey that was making that horrible noise.
Rattata and Totodile both walked towards Crystal and Max. Both have wakened up, but they still looked a bit tired. Totodile cuddled up against Crystal's leg once she reached her.
Rattata, however, spotted Mei and Meo sitting under a tree, which was a couple of yards away and quickly stood in a fighting position. Thinking that they were a threat, he began to growl as he slowly approached them, his back was arched with his fur standing straight on its ends. Mei and Meo heard his growl and looked in his direction.
Seeing him in his fighting position, both fox pokemon began to growl, but didn't move a muscle. Crystal and Max also heard Rattata's growl and turned to his direction. Seeing Rattata in his fighting position, both trainers ran towards their pokemon.
"Rattata! Stop!" Crystal cried out, as she ran in front of the pokemon, blocking him from Mei and Meo. Rattata's growling stopped, but his back was still arched. "Rattata, those pokemon are Max's pokemon. They won't hurt anyone."
"That's right." Max agreed, rubbing Meo's ear. The Umbreon's eyes slowly closed as she leaned against his hand. Mei gave Max a sharp look for not giving her the attention that he's giving Meo, but he didn't notice the look.
As Rattata was watching Max rub Meo, his back slowly relaxed. Crystal bend down to Rattata's height and rubbed him behind his ear. At first, he jerked his head away from her touch, but Crystal didn't back away. Instead, she moved her hand slowly towards his head, showing him that she wasn't going to hurt him. As her hand reached his ear, Rattata didn't back away, giving her the sign that he will let her pet him.
Crystal smiled as she gently rubbed the back of his ear. She was gaining his trust.
Max watched as she was petting Rattata. He knew that Rattata was beginning to trust her and also knew that it was amazing how she started to gain Rattata's trust in such a short time. Suddenly, he realized that he had just met this girl last night and she already had gained his trust.
She must have that gift of having people trusting her. He thought to himself as he grabbed his bag.
Meo and Mei cocked their heads, watching his every move out of habit. To them, he was their mother. He protected them from danger, fed them when they were hungry, and played with them when they were bored. And what made him more of a parent to them was that he loved them.
Putting his bag over his shoulders, he glanced at Crystal, who had stopped rubbing Rattata and was putting her bag over her shoulders as well.
"Well," he said, looking up at the sky. "If we go now, we should get to Violet City at noon. Maybe sooner."
"I hope so." She said, looking around. "But we can't leave now. We have to find Pidgey."
Max nodded his head and began to call out for Pidgey. Crystal joined in as well. After a moment or two of calling out for Pidgey, they heard flapping noises coming towards them. They instantly knew that it was Pidgey.
Calling out her name, Pidgey glided towards a branch that was just above Crystal. Max gave Pidgey a satisfy look and turn to Crystal.
"Now we can go."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After an hour of walking and complaining, Crystal, Max, and their pokemon had found the correct path to Violet City.
"That didn't take as long as I expected." Max said, rubbing the back of his head. "I guess we will be there before noon."
Crystal sighed with relief. "That's good. I really hungry and I do need to take a bath."
Max chuckled, "yeah, I'm hungry too. I haven't had a decent meal for a week now."
Crystal looked at him; one of her eyebrows was lifted. "Really?"
"Yep, but I'm use to it. It's part of the trainer's job…to starve."
"Oh…." Crystal said quietly, turning her head towards the ground.
There was a long silence between the two before Max spoke again. "Hey, have you heard of the story about the 'bringer of light'?"
Crystal gave him a strange look. "Bringer of who?!"
"That's a no." He said smirking. Crystal's strange look suddenly turned into a puzzled look.
"Tell me who is the 'bringer of light!"
Without looking at her, he began to speak.
"I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of the 'bringer of light'. People here in Johto don't like to think about the past. My mother told me about the 'bringer of light' only because she didn't like the way people try to forget the past. She told me that looking back on our past would prevent it happening again in the future."
Crystal nodded her head for him to continue.
"Back then, before we were born, a group of terrorist called 'Team Rocket' took control of the world. My mother told me that they controlled the world by the use of an extremely powerful pokemon. She told me that no one knew about this powerful pokemon and had heard rumors that 'Team Rocket' had created it.
"Anyways, the leader of this terrorist group was a man by the name of Giovanni. The way my mother was telling me this story, Giovanni was a cruel man and she heard some other rumors that he forced this powerful pokemon to control the world for him. After living years of hell, my mother said that Giovanni's power was broken by the 'bringer of light'.
"The 'bringer of light' was the Kanto Pokemon Champion at that time and was sick and tired of Giovanni's cruel ways. My mother wasn't complete sure what had happened to Giovanni or his terrorist group but she told me that he defeated Giovanni and his powerful pokemon and their control of the world was broken."
"When did this happen?" Crystal asked. She didn't remember her mother or her father telling her anything like this.
"We were too young to remember what happened between Giovanni and the 'bringer of light'. My mother told me that after the defeat of Giovanni, the world went into chaos."
"Why!?"
Max shrugged. "I don't really know. All I know is that my mother telling me not to show Mei or Meo in any town. She said that people around here think that they are evil."
Crystal frowned at the comment. "I wonder why they would think that Mei and Meo are evil?"
"Me too."
Silence reappeared between the two. Crystal was wondering why her parents never told her about the past of her world, while Max was wondering why anyone would think that Mei and Meo would be evil. Neither of them realized how much time they had spent talking about the story, for a large sign had appeared in view.
Max was the first to notice the sign.
"Look, Crystal! We made it!"
Together, they ran up to the sign, reading the large violet words that were painted on it.
Violet City
The city of nostalgic scents
