Cinnabar: The Island Of Pokémon
Disclaimer: Once again: my heroes, my villains, NOT my anything to do with Pokémon. Clear?
Falling asleep is a dangerous thing on a Pidgeot. I'd just recently found this out when I DID fall asleep and Brian woke me up just before I fell off. Talk about a close one.
Umbreon wasn't helping. Every so often she'd say, "Aren't you tired?" or, "How long has it been since (yawn) you've had a rest, Keya?" And she knew it got to me, too.
Pidgeot landed in Celadon City first, so Brian and I could head back 'home' and see if everything was still ok.
I was glad to see that wild pokémon still came in and out of the building of their own free will. THAT was something I never wanted to change. And another surprise was waiting for me in my room.
There was a package on the bed, and nearby sat a Hoothoot. I read the letter attached to the package.
Dear Keya,
I hope everything is good over there. Not much happens here anymore, not with trainers as afraid of me as they are. Being in the Elite Four is tough! Anyway, the package is something special for you, since I heard about the recent events. Mahogany Town doesn't look quite the same as it used to, does it?
Hoothoot, though not a Dark-type, is nocturnal, so I knew he'd be a perfect messenger for between the two of us. I've heard about your friend Brian, so there's something in the package for him, too. Hope to see you at the next Indigo Championship!

Karen
I quickly opened the package. Inside were two pokéballs. One was labeled 'Keya', the other 'Brian'. No one'd ever accuse Karen of being vague, that was for sure.
I told Brian about the letter and handed him his pokéball. He opened it, revealing a Zubat. My own pokéball contained an Oddish and another letter. I read it aloud.
"PS-Oddish comes from my own Vileplume and Zubat is a present from Koga. Send Hoothoot back with a message as soon as you can! -Karen."
Umbreon looked at me. "Karen, huh? And she's heard all about Mahogany and Blackthorn I bet. Figures, her being a Darkness Master herself and all." That was true. She WAS the Master at Indigo Plateau, but I never said so because she belonged there.
Just then another letter arrived, this time be way of a Dragonite knocking at the door. "I know who this one's from," I said, and eagerly opened the letter. I read it out loud, too.
"To Keya and Brian-you're making quite a name for yourselves!
My messenger should have given the clue who this is from. I know you're busy, so this won't be long. Just wanted to say that Clair and I hope you come visit the Indigo Plateau soon! The League Tournament is in two weeks. See you then! -Lance."
"We'd better go, Keya," said Brian, and I nodded.
"Tell Lance we'll be there, Dragoney," I said, using his nickname. He nodded and flew off. I scribbled a quick note to give Hoothoot.
Karen-
I'm coming to the League Tournament. See you then! Tell Hoothoot to just find me, not come to Celadon, because I'm in Cinnabar! Thanks for Oddish and Zubat!!! -Keya
Brian and I once again got on Pidgeot, this time headed for Cinnabar Island. I could only wonder what Lily and Chris had in store for us there.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
And so part four begins. Expect letters to and from Karen, Clair, Lance, and Keya/Brian throughout this and all my other stories to come. It plays a role in the end, even if it is annoying now. ~The Darkness Master.
PS-I know I said there were no Masters at Indigo before, but that was because the master who IS there is a member of the E4.
