"Hoothoot? Is there a problem?" Right away I knew something had to be wrong. Hoothoot were nocturnal. And it was only about eleven a.m. So why was he here NOW? He dropped a letter into my lap. Umbreon jumped up onto the rock next to me to read it, too. It said:
Keya-
Sorry this is so short, but strange things are going on here. Pokémon are appearing and wrecking everything. And they're all fighting- or dark-types, taking us out whenever we try to battle them. You told me about your 'friend' Jason. Does he have any connection to this? I hope not. See you when.
-Karen
"Wow. Jason at Indigo Plateau," said Umbreon. I grimaced.
"If he IS there, that's where we have to be. But if he ISN'T, and we leave this place alone...who knows what he'll do?" I sighed. This got harder by the minute.
Soon I went back to building, and we were about halfway done by the end of the day. But as we were heading for the Center, something hurled out of the trees above and knocked me to the ground. As I hit, my head cracked against a rock.
I rolled over and (painfully) sat up, looking through bleary eyes at what appeared to be a glowing shadow. But after I'd blinked a couple times I realized it was a Misdreavus, and one with a collar. Glinting gold letters flashed 'Leria'.
"So," I said, then groaned at the pain in my head, "you're Leria's pokémon. So she's here on the island-oomph," The Misdreavus charged again, amazingly solid for a Ghost-type. This time as my head hit, I was knocked unconscious.
"Keya? Keya, are you ok?" The voice was familiar, I knew, but I couldn't figure out whose it was. Everything was strange and distant, like I was watching, or rather listening to, a TV.
"Keya, please open your eyes! It's important!" A different voice, but one I knew very well.
Airen, said the voice in my head. Airen. I believe your friends are calling you.
I don't care. I don't want to deal with Jason or his crew anymore.
You can't leave now, Airen. You are needed. The voice left then, and my head really started to hurt. Gathering whatever strength I had, I opened my eyes.
"Keya?" It was Brian. "Keya? Are you ok?"
Slowly, I sat up. "I will be. What happened? You know, after..." I shook my head to clear it, but that only made it hurt worse.
"Misdreavus tried attacking some more, but Umbreon jumped in front of you and chased her off," said Lily. I noticed that she and Chris were there, too, and Monica and Tuscany.
"Keya! You're ok!" Umbreon cried as she ran into the room. She jumped into my arms and started licking my face. I nodded and stood, my face set.
"We've gotta find where Leria is hiding and stop her. Because Jason's not with her, or shouldn't be." I showed everyone my letter. Everyone's eyes widened at who it was from, even Brian's. "I'm going. It's your choice whether you follow me or not."
I left the Center (which was where I was) and headed off into the forest. I knew that the others would follow me. Umbreon hurried along at my side, ready to fight.
"Glowing One, you picked a BAD day for evil-hunting. It's supposed to rain today," said Umbreon.
"You mean I was out ALL NIGHT?" I asked, astonished.
"And then some. Check your watch, Keya. It's eleven-thirty a.m." Umbreon was right. It WAS 11:30. And the sky was dark with gathering clouds.
"Well then we'd better hurry."
Soon I spotted what looked like smoke, so we went that way. And wouldn't you know it, there was Leria, along with a Fearow, a Gastly, and the Misdreavus.
"So, it's you," Leria said, standing. This girl must have had more clothes than the Goldenrod Department Store!
She wore a blue, sleeveless shirt with a high white collar and a jean miniskirt. Her hair, now dyed lime-green, was pulled into two bun-pigtails.
"I could say the same. Why did you send your Misdreavus to attack me? Aside from the obvious." She caught sight of the cut on my head and smirked. I glared back, daring her to attack again.
"It's simple, really. You know what we want. And we'll have her. You can bet on that." Leria smirked again, and suddenly teleported away.
"Oh, well," said Chris. "we'd better get back to building the shelter."
The shelter was almost finished when I suddenly knew what I had to do. "Sorry, guys, but Brian and I have to go."
"What?" they all asked together.
"I know where they are. We've gotta get to Indigo Plateau, and fast, before something...unexpected happens." Brian and Umbreon nodded, and Brian collected Houndour.
"Sorry, guys, but it's the way it's gotta be. And, Lily, Chris..." I drew them aside to talk to them separately.
"Yeah, Keya?" Chris asked.
"Look, you two better be there if I call. Don't let anything happen here that'll stop you from coming." They nodded. It had been a much-used expression a year ago, when they were two of the only eight Masters, including myself.
Brian, Umbreon, and I boarded Pidgeot and set off again, this time aiming for the home of an old friend.
"I have a name, you know," Umbreon said once, but I barely heard her. I was too busy wondering about the voice in my head and what it had meant by 'you are needed'.

THE END!! Of part four. Any guesses as to what this 'voice' actually is? To what the connection is between this series and the Rocket/Eevyu saga? The next story: Indigo Plateau: The Elite Trainer Championship! ~The Darkness Master
