"Ok, Pidgeotto sky attack." A girl with silver hair said. The Pidgeotto dived down straight towards the Flareon owned by her opponent, a dirty blond haired boy in a vest.
"Flareon smoke screen
The Pidgeotto stuck down the Flareon knocking it out.
"Dam it Aya! Can't you even let me win?" The boy said as he returned his Flareon. The Pidgeotto landed next to Aya, where she petted it.
"Sorry Roger, but you know I just aint going to let you win. You gotta earn it."
"Well could you at least not use Pidgeotto?"
"Sorry, but then it just wouldn't be fun would it?"
"Fun for you, you mean." Both of them laugh. Suddenly there was a bright flash.
"What was that?" Roger said.
"I don't know? Maybe it was an electric pokemon using flash?"
"I don't think so." Aya petted her Pidgeotto and the pokemon started glowing.
"It's evolving?" Pidgeotto shaped grew longer and thinner.
"No, it's changing into something else." Aya grab hold of the evolving pokemon as the glowing stopped. What was once Pidgeotto was now a large boomerang. The boomerang was a dark brown color and the tips of the boomerang were shaped like a Pidgeotto's feathers.
"What happened to Pidgeotto?"
"It is her weapon." A voice said form behind. Roger and Aya looked towards Maximus.
"Are you the one I'm to go with?" Aya asked.
"What are you talking about."
"Your friend Aya is one of the chosen. As are you."
"Me?"
"You will see shortly. Here, this is yours." Maximus opened a pokeball and a Dragonair appeared before him. "Go ahead touch her, she is yours." Roger went up to the Dragonair and touched it. The Dragonair glowed and changed shape. Dragonair's body became smaller and thinner. When the change was complete Roger was holding a spear. Upon the spear was the Dragonair's ball and the tip of the spear had the wing shapes of the Dragonair's ear.
"Now do you understand?"
"Yes I do." Roger said.
"The come, the others are waiting." Aya and Roger went to Maximus and three of the vanished to the ruins.

"Come Marowak. You are not trying hard enough." Marowak charged forward striking Atoshi's wooden sword.
"Again. You aren't putting enough force into your attacks. I want you to treat me as your opponent. Show no mercy."
"Marowak." Marowak charged again and stuck Atoshi sending him flying back into a tree.
"I think that was a little too hard Marowak."
"Maro maro wak?"
"No I didn't a flash of light. You knocked me into the air remember?"
"Well I say you're pokemon doesn't like you or your just the dumbest for letting him hit you like that." Maximus said.
"Who are you?"
"I am a messenger. I've come to give you a message Atoshi."
"How did you know my name?"
"I'm required to know."
"What do you want?"
"I told you already. I'm here to give you a message. You're to come to your training." Maximus took out a pokeball. "Here this is yours." Maximus opened the pokeball and a Haganeeru appeared. The Haganeeru moved towards and Atoshi and started glowing. The Haganeeru began to grow smaller and Atoshi caught the shrinking pokemon. When the glowing stopped the Haganeeru became a large two-handed sword. "Now do you remember?"
"I do. But I just can't go now."
"You will go. You're the last one. I have made every single one of the other master's go to their destiny. What makes you think that can stop me form taking you."
"Marowak." Marowak stood in front Atoshi its bone is a ready position. Maximus quickly ran and sliced the Marowak in two.
"Marowak?"
"Now let's go before I get mad." Maximus grabbed the shocked Atoshi and vanished.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door to the steel master closed as Atoshi entered.
"There. It's done. I've gotten all the masters and their pokemon too. Now were is your part of the bargain?" Maximus said to the room. A whirl of leaves of came into the ruins and Holly appeared.
"Well done Maximus. You have brought the masters together. The future may yet be saved."
"Yeah that's good. Now where is my reward?"
"There is one last thing you must do."
"I thought my assignment is over? Your not trying to pull a fast one on me are you?"
"We are not. Now that your mission is over, Maximus and the sword must be to rest?"
"You're going to kill me?"
"No. Maximus must become Max again. And the sword must be destroyed so its power can not be used again."
"Well how do I destroy this thing?"
"You are only one that can destroy the blade. Simply will the blade to be destroyed and it will be no more."
"Okay." Maximus took the blade in both hands and started to bend it. The sword started to bend then shattered. As the pieces of the sword fell a white light developed around Maximus. The light surrounds him. When it dyed down the Max was once more.
"What happened?" Max said confused. "Last thing I remember is touching that sword."
"You have completed your mission."
"I did?"
"Yes. And as to our agreement you mother may be cured." A vial appeared before Max. "Take this. It will cure aliments." Max takes the vile.
"Thanks."
"Now go. Your mission is complete." Max left the ruins. "Now the first chapter of the book of destiny has ended. The next chapter shall start soon, but the heroes won't be apart of that battle. I hope when they emerge they have a world they can still save."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man dressed in a dark trench coat entered the hospital room. The person in the room looked up. "I trust your Sabrina?" The man said in a deep rough voice.
"Who wants to know?" Sabrina looks at the man with cold eyes. Before she could tell what this man wanted but since that stranger burned her powers, she felt helpless against anyone.
"How would like your arm and your powers back?" Sabrina's eyes widened at the man proposal. "I see you're interested."
"How can you bring my powers back? They were burned away form my body and I can't even revive them."
"My boss can do many things. He can restore your powers and make them even stronger then before."
"I assume there is a catch to all this?"
"The only catch is that you serve my master for a while."
"How long?"
"As long as you like. When you feel if you done then you can leave."
"I'll think about it."
"I hope to hear form you soon." The man left the room as a smile slowly crept up Sabrina face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max quickly ran back to his town. 'Finally my mother can be cured. She'll be well and I can finally go on a real pokemon journey. Things are looking up.' Max turned the corner and found an ambulance and a police car in front of his home.
"What's going on? Mom?" Max ran to his house. An officer Jenny came up to him.
"I'm sorry you can't go in." Officer Jenny said.
"But I live here." Max replied.
"Oh you must be her son."
"What's going on? Where my mother?"
"She's dead. It looks like she died a few days ago."
The End.
