Prologue: Andrias and The Core
20 years ago, in the Orre Region, people and pokemon lived in Harmony and peace came together in the kingdom of Newtopia, ruled by an elderly wise King, King Aldrich, who seek a way for pokemon and human to connect with each other. Cronaxx, a twenty two year old man who has chestnut short hair, wearing a red shirt, black pants, brown shoes, and a white lab coat. He believed there was a way for human's and pokemon to understand each other. He began research and study ways on how to bond with pokemon on a deeper level that's when he discovered six powerful gemstones that would help people to understand pokemon more effectively. Cronaxx collected all six stones, but he needed some sort of device to to activate the stones power. So he asked one of the the best trainer and inventor in the Johto Region Henry Roth Forge to build a device that's capable of harness the power of the stones and so they started to work on it. It took a while, but they finally done it, their greatest invention the Calamity Panel.
This is we're our story begins when a young prince, Andrias Leviathan, he had long black hair, a black goatee, a muscular build for a twenty two year old, hew wore grey royal clothes, black boots, and a sky blue crown on his head. He is the heir to the Newtopia throne. Andrias and his partner Hydregion a blue and red dragon with black scales covering his back and two heads at the end of his arms instead of claws. Everyone in the Leviathan blood line always had Hydregion as it's partner pokemon. King Aldrich used to have a Hydregion too but he passed away due to old age. They wrapped up a picture with a cloth after receiving from the paint shop as he and his partner went towards the castle where they live with Andria's father. The whole city was an advanced metropolis that was governed by the ancestors who were once rulers. With all the people and pokemon resides, there were some robot looking pokemon for those who serves to the King and assistance to the citizens.
Along the way back, Cronaxx and his partner Dragonite were exiting the library after Cronaxx finished reading his books with Dragonite beside him. Cronaxx and Dragonite saw the prince with his Hydregion walking their way home he smiles at his companions. Dragonite smiled at Hydregion his best friend. Hello, Andrias. Cronaxx greeted the prince. Hello Hydregion it's good to see you old friend. You too Dragonite me and Andrias were at the paint shop to get something for the others. What is it Hydregion? Dragonite asked. It's a surprise Hydregion said. Hey, Cro-cro. Princess Andrias greeted back how's the research coming along? Going well. It makes me feel better knowing my dreams will come true. replied Cronaxx. My Father and I really appreciate all you've done for us. I believe your family would be proud too. Yeah I wish my brother, Cyrus could be around to see this. Cronnax takes out a locket holding two photos. One of him and Dragonite and one of his brother and his Bagon, Cyrus. Andrias kneeled down to the scientist. He would have wanted you to fulfill your dream. No one could've predicted that industrial incident. said Prince Andrias. Still I wish he was here.
How's Bagon doing? Cronaxx asked the Prince. Well he's staying at the garden and help Lief and Lilligant while he is living there. Adrias said sadly. Cronaxx I wish I could let Bagon stay with you and Dragonite since your family but, after he tried to attack my father. He deemed Bagon too dangerous to live in the upper floors of the palace he's lucky that he has family living in the Palace. If you and Dragonite weren't living here , Father would had ordered him to be executed for attacking him. Cronaxx and Dragonite blood went cold they knew some pokemon were executed for accidentally attack King Aldrich during a tournament went the opponent's pokemon suddenly went on a rampage attacking the stands and almost lost his life many of trainers were very sad and angry at King Aldrich by ordering the guards to kill their partners. King Aldrich did give a speech that he had no choice but to kill those pokemon since they prove far to dangerous to live in Newtopia society. That was a year ago when Henry and him finished completing the Calamity Panel. Dragonite look back on the day Bagon was sent to the garden underneath the castle.
Flashback: Dragonite was in a room full of flowers, trees, and grass pokemon. There was a Venasuar, a Tropius, a couple of Blossoms, and Roselias. There sitting under a tree was a blue dragon pokemon with a metal headpiece on his head looking sad and angry he looked like he been crying. Cyrus… Bagon said in depression. Dragonite walked towards Bagon before asking: why did you attack King Aldrich? I know Cyrus is gone now me and Cronaxx miss him too but you went too far by attacking The King. Your lucky Aldrich let you stay here instead on the streets or worse execution! Dragonite said in anger for Bagon's behavior. You don't get it Dragonite he did it! Did what Bagon? Dragonite said. He killed Cyrus he was murdered by King Aldrich himself! Cyrus found out that King Aldrich was using the Calamity panel to manipulate pokemon so they can go on rampages! He made them examples of them of what happens if an trainer or pokemon get's in his way! It was all to keep them in line! When Cyrus said he wouldn't help him make these dark balls or improve the Calamity panel so that it can permanently shut down a pokemon's heart for good making them mindless destructive servants! King Aldrich he… Bagon said sadly with tears in his eyes before his face turned into anger used his ax and struck him down!! Bagon yelled as he sobbed. Dragonite was in shock and was skeptical of what Bagon had told him. Bagon I think your struck in grieve and anger of losing Cyrus that your not thinking straight, you need help Bagon. Dragonite said hold out his hand for him. Bagon swatted Dragonite's hand away while he glared at him. I should have known you wouldn't believe me no body does even the pokemon here didn't believe me when I told them of King Aldrich's true nature. Bagon huffed and turned away from Dragonite with sadness and rage. Flashback end: Dragonite looked down sadly at himself for not trying hard enough to help Bagon he is family after all.
The prince and Hydregion could see how upset Cronaxx and Dragonite were. Then they decided to cheer them up. Hey what's that behind your ear? Prince Andrias pulled out a Newtopian bronze coin and hugs Andrias. Hydregion comfort Dragonite by hugging him and gave him encouraging words making him feel better. You always know how to make me feel better, my friend. Cronaxx smiles. Thanks. replied Prince Andrias after he is release his embrace. Come on, I wanted to show you and the others something special together. Does it have something to do with your back? Yep. And so they made there way too the castle by that time Hydregion released Dragonite from his hug.
When they got to the castle walls they see a young man younger then Andrias and Cronnax so he had to be 19 years old he wore a black and blue fedora hat with a yellow symbol represents the Order of the Aura Guardians he had black spiky hair, blue eyes, wearing blue a blue and grey medieval shirt, brown belt with a pouch, grey pants, blue boots, with brown arches on the upper boots and yellow shoelaces, his gloves were blue also yellow lining on the gloves that is connected by a blue and white jewel on the gloves and he was holding a brown staff with a sliver cage that was keeping a white jewel in it, lastly he wore a black cloak over his shoulders with a hood. Next to him was a Jackal pokemon that is blue with black markings on his face, lower torso, paws, and feet, has white and yellowish fur with two metal spikes on each of it's front paws and a small spike in his chest.
Please sir, I had special business here in Newtopia Queen Rin from Cameron Palace has sent me here to investigate the pokemon that went on rampages. There are cases in the Kanto Region similar of what happened in Newtopia it has to be connected. I must speak with King Aldrich at once the mysterious man said. Sorry no can do me and my partner Growlithe have a job to keep intruders like you out of the Palace said a muscular guy who had short blond hair wearing grey armor with a Newtopia symbol of a frog footprint on it's chest plate, he had blue eyes he was almost as big as Andrias, and he carried a weapon of a big warhammer. His Growlithe is orange with black stripes but what the young stranger and his Lucario saw was a different species of Growlithe it had grey rocky fur on his chest and tail that made him look poofy, there was also grey rock fur on it's head that made him look like he was wearing a helmet. I knew we should have tried to sneak into the palace Lucario whispered. If we did that Lucario the guards would have arrested us and we never would have a chance to talk to the King of the Orre Region. The young stranger hissed at his partner quietly so the Guard wouldn't here them.
Who are you sir and why are you and your pokemon doing here in front of the palace only authorized personnel can enter the palace. Then Cronaxx looked at guard and said, hello Barrel
is this person giving you trouble? Hey Cronaxx, he said he's from Cameron Palace and that Queen Rin has sent him to talk with the King. Barrel said, How's your day going? Just another day of researching about different pokemon in different regions I actually read about a new species of Growlithe they had in the Kanto region unlike the ones in Orre and in Sinnoh that are fire and rock type. There Growilthes are pure fire types. Cronaxx replied.
Boy, I can't wait to see what the Kanto region has to offer. I'm sure your brother would be very proud of you.
Thanks Barrel. The young man and Lucario looked pale at there statement. He and Lucario had investigated different parts of Kanto on why wild pokemon were going berserk. He and Lucario found control panels that send out sound waves to pokemon that made them going berserk. He and Lucario destroyed the panel and the berserk pokemon went back to normal. He and Lucario had found it peculiar because it had the Newtopia symbol on it. When he told Queen Rin about it. She ordered him and Lucario to go to the Orre Region to investigate the City on who is responsible for the sudden out breaks of Pokemon going beserk, since she had sent soldiers to investigate the war ships that had been docked in different parts of the Kanto Region like they were going to invade. Which he and Lucario found it unbearable that Newtopia would invade Kanto. They always been a peaceful city. Although Lucario told him appearances can be deceiving they had to be on guard at all times during their stay here.
While Cronaxx and Barrel were talking, Andrias snuck behind Barrel and grabs Barrel by holding him in a head lock. Ah I'm disappointed, Barrel. Shouldn't a Newtopian guard always be aware of his surroundings? Prince Andrias teased. Shouldn't Orre royalty know never never to put a high level guard in a headlock? Barrel asked, then breaks free from Andrias and kicks him down. Another victory for Barrel.
He scratches down when slides his knife on the walls for another tally wall Cronaxx chuckled at that moment. Andrias then recognized the stranger and his Lucario. "Ah, you must be Sir Arron Uzumaki an aura guardian who wants to speak with me father" said Andrias. "Indeed I am but Barrel here wouldn't let us enter the palace". Arron said "I'm terribly sorry for that sir Arron my father has tightened the security ever since some of the pokemon in Newtopia had gone on a rampage last year." Andrias told Sir Arron. "Barrel you can let Sir Arron and his Lucario enter the palace now he has authorization from my father." Andrias told his friend Barrel.
"I'm sorry Adrias you know how I take my job as a guard seriously ask Growilthe he would tell you the same." "He's right he does everyday since his father King Aldrich appointed him captain of the Newtopian Guard" said Growlthie. Then Barrel just remembered as he gave Prince Andrias a piece of paper, "Leif let you a note for you. But it's blank, so I don't know why she even bothered." Said Barrel.
"Why would this Leif person send him a blank note." Sir Arron said.
"It's their way to communicate. That's this thing called invisible ink." Cronaxx explained to Sir Arron and Lucario.
"So Leif hides messages in invisible ink so no one can read them unless they know this trick I must admit it's genius." Sir Arron said.
"Like you perhaps. We came up with a way to leave secret messages for each other." said Prince Andrias.
"Heh, yeah right." Barrel chuckled "She only taught you that after she and Cronaxx split up. No offense." Sir Arron and Lucario were surprised that Cronaxx and Leif had broken up. Cronaxx seemed like a nice person. He wondered what caused them to broke up. Sir Arron thought.
"It's okay, I wanted to pursue my dreams first before before getting serious with others."
Andrias took out his glasses to read the letter that has the Orre Alphabet.
"She's in the garden . Come on! Let's go! You can come too Sir Arron to meet Leif." Andrias said. "Sure me and Lucario would love to meet Leif." Sir Arron said.
Andrias picked up his portrait and lead Cronaxx, Barrel, Sir Arron, and along with their partners inside the castle until they reach to an underground garden. Just then when they're in the castle hallway, they were approached by an older man in his early thirties. He had short brown hair along with a brown mustache he wore glasses, wears grey overalls over a orange shirt he was carrying his tool box. This is Henry Roth Forge he is a very strong pokemon trainer and inventor and next to him is his partner Goodra he was purple and grey shell bunker pokemon that had a big grey swirly shell on it's tail.
"Hey Henry." Barrel greeted.
"Ah, Hello my friends. What are you been up to and who are they?" Henry asked curiously at the two strangers.
"Oh that's Sir Arron and his partner Lucario they came all the way from the Kanto Region to meet with my Dad. We were just heading to the garden where we can meet up with Leif. Wanna come with?" Prince Andrias asked.
"So your from Kanto? Henry asked Sir Arron intensely. Uh…Yes I am me and Lucario came from Cameron palace. Sir Arron told Henry. Hmm, Henry thought then said did you know my twin brother Blaine? You mean the same Blaine Forge who is the Cinnbar Island Gym Leader I knew him he and his Arcanine are very tough. Now that I think about it you two look alike. Sir Arron said. Indeed we do Sir Arron my younger brother is a scientist while he perform his gym leader duties. I'm glade to hear he's doing fine." Henry said.
"Henry I want to thank you. I really appreciate for what you have accomplish, to fulfill my dream." said Cronaxx
"Yes indeed. So, shall we?"
The prince nodded as they all went downstairs to the garden. Once they arrived, the kingdom's underground garden has so many plants like flowers and trees with water fountain running. Then they see a twenty two year old woman with long blond hair, brown eyes, wearing a pink dress next to her partner Lilligant she looked like a ballerina. They were balancing on top of Venusaur's Flower.
"Hey Lief! How's it going?" Prince Andrias asked, but Leif shushed him.
"Shh. I have perfected a dance that mesmerized any pokemon that watches. Behold."
Leif got to position to do a dance as the five and their pokemon watched. Then there were grass pokemon who were now swaying to the rhythm. Even Barrel's Growlithe got memorized by the dance while Cronaxx's Dragonite bobbed his head with the rhythm. Henry and Goodra clapped their hands, but Adrias's Hydregion and Sir Arron's Lucario looked away blushing.
And finally when the dance concludes, Lief and Lilligant did a pose with the grass pokemon with the water fountain spraying. Then Growlthie shook his head off.
"Huh. What?"
Leif and Lilligant hoped down from the flower to her friends.
"See? even the pokemon loved it. Then she noticed Sir Arron and Lucario. Hello there you got a name stranger?" Lief asked. "My names Arron, Arron Uzumaki and this is my partner Lucario." Sir Arron told Lief. Leif smiled as they both shook hands.
"That weird did I just black out." Growlithe asked.
"I'm impressed." Cronaxx said.
"Bravo!" Henry cheers.
"Brilliant classic, Leif. Prince Andrias gives her a thumbs up.
"As thanks, 'Drias. Say, uh, what you got there?" Lief noticed and points something behind Andrias' back.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Your surprise!" Andrias reveals a portrait, leaving his friends in awe. " Tada! An official portrait of us!"
"Oooh! Fascinating!" Henry impressed while his Goodra clapped his paws.
"It looks just like us!" said Barrel. His Growlthie jumped up and down with excitement.
"It's even got my good side." Cronaxx smiled. His Dragonite smiled at the portrait.
Sir Arron and Lucario looked at the portrait of Andrias, his friends and his pokemon. They thought it was a nice painting of them.
"Oh, that's a huge honor! What's the occasion?" Lief asked. Her Lilligant was dancing for joy when she sees the portrait.
"Dad's appointed me to go to the Kanto Region to forge a peace treating from our two regions. If you're okay with that Cronaxx?" said Prince Andrias.
"Hey, Cronaxx. If it wasn't for you or any of you guys, I never would have made it this far. Your dream is going to become a reality. Thank you so much. I mean it."
His friends were touch as they smiled at the gesture. Even Sir Arron and Lucario smiled at the scene.
"Aww. Thank you, 'Drais. Now what are we standing around for? We gotta celebrate!" Lief chimes.
"May I suggest running through the hallway, screaming at the top of our lungs?" Barrel suggested.
"I may be old, but I don't see why not." Henry shrugged.
"Your on!" Cronaxx cheered.
"Sounds good to me. Let's go!" Andrias said as he looked at Arron. "You can come along Sir Arron there is always room for one more" Andrias said. Which Sir Arron smiled at Andrias. Lucario whispered to him " what are you doing Arron we are supposed to investigate that pokemon rampages, not playing with the Prince and his friends." Lucario said in anger. "Lucario I know you have some concerns about me getting too close to them but if I go we can uncover new information about those control panels. I have a feeling they made them." Sir Arron argued. Lucario huffed, " Fine, but remember appearance can be deceiving." Lucario warned his partner. "Hey Arron are you coming?" Prince Andrias asked. "In a minute 'Drais, Sir Arron said after looking at Lucario he ran toward his new friends. Lucario turned his attention to the Bagon that is sitting by himself under the tree. Maybe he can get information out of him. Lucario thought as he walked towards Bagon.
They left the garden as they ran through the hallway screaming. Just as Andrias gives them chase, but then he came to halt when he approach his father, King Aldrich. He was a older man but has a leaner build, he has long white hair with a long beard, he is covered with wrinkles, he wore a green Royal clothes and grey sandals. Most of the time his eyes are closed. He's holding his huge battle ax like a staff. The King looked down at his son in front.
"Ah. There you are son, I see you met with Sir Arron already. King Aldrich turned to him. I'm sorry Sir Arron but I have to discuss something with me son for tomorrow. We'll talk tomorrow about Kanto but right now me and my son are going to meet with Genuses."
"That quite alright King Aldrich I can wait another day you seemed busy. Thank you for your hospitality you given me." Sir Arron said.
"Your welcome Sir Arron." King Aldrich said to him.
'Andrias, friends popped up behind Aldrich while waving their arms at the Prince.
"We'll catch up to you later, 'Drais!" said Barrel.
Andrias looked back while his father walks off.
"Sorry, guys. Gotta do prince stuff!" Prince Andrias waves as he followed his father. Hydregion flew besides him.
It was only the five of them, four of them with their partners, they stander in the hallway after Andrias and his Hydregion left to join King Aldrich.
"Come on, guys. We can go to the chambers and discuss plans on which cities to visit when we get to Kanto. I'm sure Sir Arron here can recommend some places for us to see." Cronaxx suggested.
"Sure thing Cronaxx, I'll do what I can to help." Sir Arron said, which made everyone smiled at him.
"Sure." Leif said.
"I've got nothing to do." said Barrel.
"Good idea. I'm on my break anyway." Henry added.
Later on, King Aldrich walk past some robots, but different color schemes like black armor and red eyes with guns on their right hands.
"Don't you think it's time to say goodbye to those childhood friend's of yours, son?"King Aldrich asked.
"What? Why? Prince Andrias asked while catching up. Hydrogen didn't know what King Aldrich was going with this.
"Because your about to become King. It won't be long before those four start asking for favors. Using you." said King Aldrich.
"No. Cronaxx, Henry, Leif and Barrel will never do that. Our friendship is true." Prince Andrias assured his father. "Friendship doesn't last, son. Now, let me show you what does." Hydrogen didn't think that Leif, Cronaxx, Henry and Barrel would do anything like that. After all he was best friends with their pokemon.
As they approach to the large statue of Aldrich, he pulls the lever as the huge door open for giant newts to enter and took steps downstairs to the darker place with lanterns glows blue like torches.
Once they have reach to the bottom of the castle, they have approached to the huge door with a mural that has eight eyes on eight newts and the only eye in the center, right in between two torches. When the King's crown shines a red dot while being scanned, it opens up the door automatically to the right.
King Aldrich enters along with his son as they walk downstairs to the chambers where everything has Technology. Andrias was awed at first, but when his father turns around as the King prepares for the introduction.
"Behold… The Core."
Then a huge multi-eyed spherical robot with robotic tentacles lowers down behind the king. It has glowing orange eyes with lighter shaded pupils, and in terms of size, it was larger then King Aldrich. It has many wires that connect around the chambers. It crawls towards Andrias while his father explains.
"It contains the combined memories of our greatest minds including your Ancestors."
Once the Core stops, it moves closer to Andrias, giving him a huge stare down as the prince was a bit nervous and creeped out from its appearance.
"Uh hello." Prince Andrias nervous.
His father walks over to the machine after he laid his ax against somewhere so that he can turns on the hologram to show it to Andrias and Hydregen.
"With the core by your side, you would need no friends. Now, about your mission, we will be invading a medieval world called Earth." King Aldrich shows the projection of Kanto. " You must exterminate the people so that we can use the land and take their pokemon for resources."
Andrias and Hydregion turn their attention to King Aldrich when a bit of shocked while the Core moved its eyes on the prince.
"What wiped out a whole race? Doesn't that seem a little extreme? What about Sir Arron I don't think he would approve of this? Hydrogen nodded in agreement.
Then the projection is off before the king continues."
Invading other regions are expensive, and we need all the resources we can get for our way of life to continue. This kind of work needs to be done. As for Sir Arron I will offer him a deal to join us."
"But what if he refuse Father?"
"Don't worry Andrias he won't I'll make sure of that." King Aldrich said.
King Aldrich took something out that something like a key. Andrias was all surprised that his father is giving him the key to him."
"The key to the calamity panel?" Prince Andrias and Hydrogen were surprised before his father hands the key to his hands. "But then I'm"
"Officially in charge. Now, make me proud son." said King Aldrich. "Yes, of course, Father."
Andrias is much more happier that his Father is putting him in charge of the invasion. He can't wait to show his friends. The Core was watching him closely, to ensure none of that will fail. Hydrogen just smiled at his partner he is happy that his father was finally show him love.
Meanwhile in the garden Lucario looked at Bagon and asked: "Can you tell me about King Aldrich?" "What does it matter everyone loves the King nobody would believe what I had to say. Give me one good reason I should talk to you about the King." Bagon said rudely. "Because, Bagon me and my partner Sir Arron are investigating The King we believe he is responsible for the pokemon going berserk back in Kanto." Lucario said. This shocked Bagon had his prayers have been answered. Bagon looked in Lucario's eyes only to see no malice or distrust in his eyes like everyone else so he decided to trust him. " King Aldrich is a horrible man he created the Calamity Panel so he can control pokemon. He created an incident last year they were used as examples of anyone that gets in his way. Bagon looked sadly before continuing he executed them and labeled as dangerous creatures. My partner Cyrus is a brilliant inventor one day he found out the truth about the King's true intentions. He refused to make anymore of his inventions for him. King Aldrich…. killed him in cold blood! He covered it up to look like an accident. I ended up attacking him in rage for killing my best friend. King Aldrich labeled me as a dangerous creature and sent me down here. I talked to the other pokemon about the truth of King Aldrich but they didn't believe me. I try to tell Dragonite Cyrus's brothers partner the truth but he didn't believe me either!" Bagon said sadly. Lucario was enrage of what had happened to Bagon and Cyrus. He now know that the King is up to no good and responsible of what was happening in the Kanto region. "I promise you Bagon me and Arron will bring King Aldrich to justice. That's a promise." Lucario said. For the first time in months Bagon is starting to feel hopeful again.
Meanwhile, Cronaxx, his friends, and their pokemon have approached to this main chamber where he's been working on his dream with his partner Dragonite, but the door has no handle or lock only a there-monitor . The only way is to unlock it with to apply the correct Temperature to unlock the door.
"Allow me." said Cronaxx.
He raised his arm and point it at the thermometer and said.
"Dragonite use flamethrower."
Dragonite opened his mouth as a strong flame came out hitting the thermometer and unlocking the door. Then they entered to his main study where it has some books and prints. Most of it were drawings of legendary pokemon and other regions. Barrel looked at the drawings when he noticed a golden bird with rainbow tail feathers.
"Is that a bird like pokemon?" Barrel asked.
"That's the Legendary pokemon named Hoho. Legend said many years ago had revived three pokemon that died in the Johto Region. He gave each a task to watch over us to see if we had become worth enough to see him. No other human in history has seen Hoho since that day." Cronaxx explains.
"Interesting never seen a pokemon like this." said Henry as he rubbed his chin. His Goodra just stared at the drawing of Hoho.
"Can't anyone find him?" Barrel asked.
"Not even the strongest of trainers can find him. That'd be like no one else that can see Hoho." replied Cronaxx.
It said only the Rainbow Hero can meet with Hoho. Sir Arron said.
Cronaxx and Henry ware intrigued of what Sir Arron had said about Hoho.
"Forget that. So what's our next move?" Leif asked so eagerly.
Sir Arron listened intensely to see if they were going to invade his home region.
"Here's what we do."
Cronaxx takes the crystal and place it on a projectile device until it projects the first region that he plans to visit.
"We go to Kanto first to see what kind of natural resources they have that the Kanto region thrives on." Cronaxx explains.
"Oohh." Leif, Barrel, and Henry amazed in union before Cronaxx continued. Sir Arron sat quietly and listened to Cronaxx.
"In exchange, we offer what the Orre Region has to offer that we can set up a trade agreement so we can help the Kanto Region strived. With the combined might of our two regions it would grow twice as strong.
"Isn't inva-" Barrel started but Henry stopped him before he finished that sentence. They look sheepishly at Sir Arron, Sir Arron was now very suspicious of his new friends he felt like they all had something to hide.
"I'd like to think by doing this we can share our greatness with other Regions wouldn't you agree Sir Arron." Cronaxx said fearfully.
"I don't see why not, I think it's a good opportunity to get to know each other's homelands." Sir Arron said but he still stared at them suspiciously.
"I agree. I am looking forward to see the Kanto Region." Henry agrees.
"Me too. I can't wait to see the creatures they have living there." said Leif hoping about some creatures. "I want to make some new friends in Kanto." Lilligant said. Leif smiled at her partner, "It looks like Lilligant is excited about visiting Kanto as well" Leif said.
"And with Andrias and his Hydregion by our side, nothing will stop us." Barrel showing his pride
"Yeah!" The three cheered. Sir Arron just sat there and watched Henry, Leif, and Barrel cheered.
Then suddenly, Andrias and his partner Hydregion entered the chamber with exciting looks.
"Hey guys want to see something cool?"
They all turned their heads at their prince when curious.
"What is it Andrias?" Henry asked curious. Instead he shows his friends the key to the control panel in his hands as they were shocked.
"Isn't that the calamity panel?" Cronaxx stunned.
"The one that I crafted?" Henry added as he adjusted his glasses.
"Indeed, my friends." replied Prince Andrias. "My father gave me this. It's only the matter of time before we start my mission."
They could not believe that the king gave the key to Andrias for his first mission. They were totally surprised that he's officially in charged.
"Where do we start?" Henry asked.
Sir Arron on the other hand gulped in fear. He had to find Lucario as soon as possible.
When Sir Arron had found Lucario he noticed a small dragon pokemon that walked beside him. "Sir Arron this is Bagon the pokemon we saw down in the garden. He told me about the King's true colors he is not what everyone thinks he is. Listen Arron, the King is using some kind of control pad that takes away the pokemon's free well. He is a terrible person, King Aldrich killed his partner and best friend Cyrus Tonks." Lucario said.
"Thank you for telling me this Lucario. Now my suspicion had been confirmed. It seems that King Aldrich is planning on conquering the Kanto Region. He gave Andrias the key to the Calamity panel making him in charge. I think all of his friends are on board with him and King Aldrich." Sir Arron said in fear.
"Arron if what you say is true then we must find away to destroy that horrible machine before they use it to take over all of Kanto." Lucario said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry Lucario I have a plan, Andrias is letting us see the calamity panel for the first time when everyone is asleep so basically we're sneaking in." Sir Arron said.
"So while everyone is distracted we can find away to shut it down permanently without drawing suspicion on to us. Sir Arron your a genius." Lucario said.
"Thank you Lucario, about Bagon, what do you want to do now?" Sir Arron asked.
"I would like to stay with you for a while until your mission is accomplished. I think I would like to go to my home region in Hoenn since I'm not wanted here. I think my partner Cyrus will like that." Bagon said.
"I'll help you get to Hoenn and take you to Meteor Falls where other dragon pokemon live when this is all over." Sir Arron smiled at Bagon. Bagon smiled back at Sir Arron.
Later that night, Andrias leads his friends and pokemon to the secret room as they all snuck in where the calamity panel was being held locked safe from intruders. As they arrive at the door, Andrias turned the key and six lights begins to glows when the door opens.
As they walk in where all portraits are, but the center in this room that column was the calamity panel. It is ornamented with gold and sliver and six gems that are blue, pink, green, red, orange, and yellow. It had carvings of the legendary pokemon in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea, next to it, it is show a large screen that would be used in the future.
"Ooh." Leif and Barrel were amazed."
"And this is where the magic happens. Literally." said. Princess Andrias.
"I know I made it happen." Cronaxx remarked.
"Wow. So it's already official?" Barrel asked.
"It's not announced yet, but yeah." Prince Andrias answered.
"Mind if I ask, when will it be ready?" Henry asked kindly.
"In two days, our mission begins here."
Sir Arron and Lucario looked at each other is now or never as they slowly walked towards the column without anybody noticing, but what both of them had not predicted that Leif, Lilligant , Barrel, and his Growlithe were already at the column before they were!
Andrias turns to see Lief standing on next to the column, Leif had but her hand on it.
"Then I bet you'd get in trouble if anything happened to this, huh?" Leif teased.
Both Andrias and Henry were shocked that Leif was next to the calamity panel. Cronaxx look cautious, but remains calm to talk sense to Leif. Sir Arron and Lucario were shocked and worried that their plan was compromised. As for the other pokemon they did not know what to think.
"Please, be careful Leif. That box is delicate. If anything happens to the stones-"
"Cronaxx is right, Leif stop messing around with the panel." Said Andrias calmly when took one step closer.
However Leif and Barrel decided to play a little game of chase with Andrias. Andrias, Cronaxx, and Henry wanted nothing happened to the calamity panel. His father would be furious if the panel broke.
"Please, technology is not to be played with." Cronaxx cautious.
"Okay, guys. Come on." Andrias tries to stop them, but Leif was able to dodge him. "It's important to us ."
"Listen to your to your friend. It's extremely fragile." Henry agrees.
But they didn't listen as the laughs continues. Having enough Arron ran towards Leif to stop her before she gets hurt. Then Barrel accidentally knocked her towards the calamity panel. Sir Arron was able to catch Leif, but her's and Sir Arron's hands touched the six stones by pressing it, Leif dropped her smile as Sir Arron's aura was reacting to the stones he's aura projected something random in front of them.
The stones and Sir Arron's aura gave off a flash of light as Leif and Sir Arron started to see images. First it was the Orre Region in ruin, other regions suffering, then it shows the stones glowing, the malicious mural, a tower with two legendary pokemon put with malicious intent, and the images of the prophecy where 13 figures defeated a villain. They see an image of Cyrus and a giant ax swinging at him. Finally, everyone in each region running in fear as the moon come crashing down to the planet.
As the flash image has ended, Leif drops to the floor on her knees while Sir Arron had trouble to standing they were breathing heavily. Lucario too rushed to Sir Arron's side, he helped him stand before he spoke "What happened?" Lucario asked. Sir Arron looked at him with worry.
"Something bad is going to happened to all the regions. I saw King Aldrich used his ax to kill Cyrus Bagon's partner. He's bad news Lucario we have to stop him." Sir Arron said.
Andrias, his friends, and pokemon rush to her as they started to get worried about her.
"Leif! You okay?" Prince Andrias worries.
"What happened?" Barrel anxious.
"What's wrong?" Henry asked.
"Give her some air." Cronaxx told them to ease off.
They respect his opinion as they give Leif some air until she looks up to them with her fearful look.
"I- I saw something." Leif whispered, but shaken.
"Leif, what did you see?" Cronaxx laid his hand on her.
Instead, she laid her hands on Andrias and looks at him. The prince could see her hurtful looks.
"Andrias, if you go through with this mission, if you continue to use the box, I think our world is doomed."
"What?" Andrias stunned. All the pokemon were in shock or worried of what Leif just said especially Lilligant and Lucario.
"How? It can't be possible. I ran through all the possibilities." Cronaxx looked concerned.
"It's true. I saw Cyrus too, and an ax. I think something really bad happened to him." Leif started to cry. Dragonite was in shock about what Leif had told Cronaxx. Now he started to wondered if what Bagon had said was true.
They couldn't believe what Leif was telling, then they give her some comfort to calm her down. Maybe tomorrow that the king must know about this.
The very next day, the court has gathered the royal councils to the throne room were where King Aldrich was sitting on the huge throne while Prince Andrias was standing in front of Leif and Lilligant came up to tell them everything for what she has seen. Cronaxx, Barrel, and Henry were very concerned about the situations. The pokemon were just as nervous as their partners were. Sir Arron and Lucario watched King Aldrich intensely.
"I think the stones were giving me a warning. As a gardener, I know the dangers of messing with a fragile ecosystem. And I believe by interfering with other regions, we have upset the ecosystem."
Then Cronaxx and Dragonite stood by her and Lillian's side as the young wizard speaks.
"I believe she's telling the truth. As a wizard, I should know that even a single grain of sand can tip the scale. Upsetting the balance brings nothing, but chaos and destruction. Fire and brimstone spreading across life. Laughter and Joy, replaced with screams of agony." said Cronaxx.
"That's why I decided. We have to stop using the panel. Leif finish the sentence.
"What?"
"Destruction?"
"But how do we get resources?"
"What if they're telling the truth?"
This made Cronaxx upset, but so were the councils. Some were concerned and worries of the future while others disbelief. They waited for this time for a while now. Cronaxx was anxious to explore new regions, but not getting anyone hurt.
"Hmmm…" King Aldrich, took a moment, then the Core's eye appears on the crown and gave him the decision they wanted. Sir Arron used his aura when he say the core's eye. What he saw frightened him their aura was pitch black. There are five types of aura that can be seen by aura guardians. First one is a white aura represents people with pure hearts, The blue aura represents people who are good, Red aura represents people who are evil, mixture of blue and red aura represents when a person is conflicted of being good or evil, Lastly black aura is the most dangerous of them all it represents people who only cause nothing but destruction just to get what they want, basically the person becomes a monster. Aldrich refused. "Nonsense! You sound like that crazy women Valientina and her ancestors. You speak of fate and warnings, but our stones are our sacred birthright. They are unique to our world and PROOF that only we are destined to conquer."
"Your majesty, please. I should know more than any of us here and if what Leif said was true, we can't take that risk." Cronaxx convinced.
"SILENCE!" King Aldrich commands by slamming his ax down. "The expedition will continue as planned with the prince presiding. As for you, Cronaxx. If you know what's good for you, you can make sure everything goes smoothly and not fall like your clumsy brother. This court is adjourned." Sir Arron and Lucario glared at King Aldrich that he was going to risk the people and pokemon only to satisfy his power of conquest.
As the councils leaves with some worries or disapproved looks at Leif and Cronaxx their pokemon glared back at council for hurting their friends. Now that the throne room was empty, but the two walked away with their heads down with Barrel, Growlithe, Henry, Goodra, Sir Arron and Lucario by their side to escort them. Cronaxx through about something what the King has said about his brother and thought about Leif said about the ax. Dragonite rubbed Cronaxx's back to let him know everything is going to be alright. "Thank you my friend." Cronaxx said. "Your welcome Cronaxx." Dragonite said. "My brother is not clumsy. He finds success in failure." Cronaxx muttered.
As the prince and Hydregion stared at them leaving the throne room, then he turns at his father after got off from his throne and steps closer to him.
"Thank you for hearing her out, Father." Said Prince Andrias.
"No. Thank you for bringing to our attention. Now we know the gardener is a traitor." said King Aldrich coldly.
"Wait, what?! No, father. She's not a traitor. She's just… worried." Prince Andrias took step back a bit while Hydregion comfort him.
"Are you certain? You've Hassan the key less than a day, and suddenly your friend wants to dictate how we use the most powerful object in the world. I warn you about this. It won't be long before I joined the core, son. Our people will be counting on YOU."
Andrias felt his heart shattered and his father convince him about what lies ahead. Not only when he nearly let his father down, but soon the king joining with the core. Once King Aldrich walks away from the throne room Sir Arron, Cronaxx, Leif, Barrel, Henry, and their pokemon peep out through the door and walk back in to see prince.
"Well, that didn't go great." said Leif.
"Yeah, sorry." Prince Andrias apologize.
"But that's okay . Your in charge. You can just decide not to use the panel."
"It's not that simple Lief. Our society is built on these expeditions." Prince Andrias clenches his fist not to use the panel.
"I know it won't be easy, but we have your back."
"That's right. We're your friends." said Cronaxx.
Barrel raises his thumb up. Henry nodded, Sir Arron gave him a reassurance smile, and there pokemon gave Andrias and Hydregion there support by clapping.
"See? Together we can use your power for good-"
"Look, Leif! Maybe you should focus on gardening and leave the ruling to me, OKAY?!" Prince Andrias snaps.
Leif took her step back when Andrias snapped at her.
"Andrias!" Cronaxx shouts. "Please, Leif is your friend."
"Ooh." Barrel wince.
"Ouch." Leif felt ashamed.
"Andrias how could you say that to Leif?!" Sir Arron shouted in anger. There pokemon comfort there partners in there time of need.
Henry shook his head when disapproved. Cronaxx and Sir Arron were upset, seeing Prince Andrias shout. They'd have never seen Andrias lash out like that before. Now the prince sees Leif's hurtful looks when he realized and he's upset. Thankfully, Cronaxx came to his senses, but Sir Arron had become wearily of Andrias. Cronaxx started to apologize.
"Sorry that was harsh. I'm under a lot of pressure right now, you know?" "For sure. Now, I get it . Friends?" Leif offers to embrace."
"(Sigh) friends." Prince Andrias accepted.
The six people and pokemon hug it out as they all embraced, hoping to put it all behind them. Then they're all release from their embrace when the prince spoke.
"Anyway, I better get going. Don't want to keep dad waiting." said Prince Andrias.
"Okay, good luck on the mission. Leif wished him good luck.
"Thanks. We'll see you later." Prince Andrias waved until he and Hydregion left the throne room.
"Well, better get back to my post. Catch ya' later." Barrel waved when he and Growlthie walks off to resume his post.
Now only just Lief and her Lilligant, Cronaxx and his Dragonite, Sir Arron and Lucario, and Henry and his Goodra are all alone in the throne room.
"Cronaxx, listen. I can't stand by while we let our home get destroyed." said Leif turning her face to him.
"If it makes you feel any better Leif, me and Lucario will help you stop Andrias and save you region." Sir Arron said as his eyes glow blue.
Leif turned to Sir Arron and said Thank you Sir Arron for helping us in our time of need."
"No problem."
But suddenly, Cronaxx started to feel something, then getting horrible vibes in his head until it reached inside his head where Sir Arron's aura is showing him of his brother Cyrus and Bagon. Cyrus was working in his lab with Bagon, but he can hear some voice where we see King Aldrich confront Cyrus.
"You can't do this! What if something goes wrong?!" Cyrus pleaded.
"This is our destiny our birthright!" King Aldrich argues.
"Then I won't make another weapon for your cause! Not while I know that my weapons will hurt others!" Bagon glared at King Aldrich.
"Then I can't let you live, traitor!"
"Your Majesty! STOP!" "Cyrus!!" Bagon shouted.
Then the King swing his ax until it goes white. Cronaxx gasped and breaths heavily. Leif, Lilligant. Henry, Goodra, Sir Aaron, Lucario, and Dragonite were a bit worried for the Professor.
"Cronaxx? Are you okay?" Leif asked softly. "Yeah you kind of blacked out for a sec. Cronaxx." Sir Arron said with concern.
The young Professor started to form his small tears. He slowly looked at Leif and Sir Arron with a sad look. He could see everything for what just happened.
"Leif, Sir Arron. My dream was to explore other regions." said Cronaxx quietly.
"We know, Cronaxx. we know." replied Leif when she comforts him as they hugged each other. "But sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most."
Henry and Goodra felt remorse at his old friend. As a scientist, he may have built the calamity panel, but what's she and Sir Arron are telling the truth, then it is far more dangerous like no other human has made a weapon. Once they release from their hug, Cronaxx showed them the key to Leif, Sir Arron and their pokemon. Henry and their pokemon where stunned.
"Even our dreams."
"Are you sure?" Leif was most surprised.
I can't let anyone get hurt. Not here, and not other regions." said Cronaxx.
"Then what you say is true. We've started this…" Henry paused when he's staring at them. "But it has to end here. We must get rid of the panel."
"I agree what ever choice do we have."
"Um, Sir Arron I wanted to ask you a favor?" Cronaxx asked.
"Sure Cronaxx I'd be happy to help, what do you need?" Sir Arron asked Cronaxx.
"We my brother Cyrus has a Bagon living in the garden in the basement. I was wondering if you can get him."
Sir Arron smiled before saying, Cronaxx, Bagon is staying with me in my room with Lucario right now. Sir Arron smile dropped before continuing: he wants to live in Hoenne when this is all over."
"Cronaxx was sad that Bagon didn't want to go with them, but he remembered how he and Dragonite had treated him. Cronaxx looked guilty before saying if it will make Bagon happy then all I can do is let him go." Dragonite was ashamed at himself he let Bagon down, Cyrus, and his partner down for not believing him about the King. He wished he had sooner, maybe they would still be family. Dragonite thought for his cousin.
Meanwhile, the King and the Prince along with Hydregion are marching down with their servant robots and some advisors. Andrias wanted to make sure he does his Royal duties properly.
"Any orders for the invasion of the Kanto Region, tomorrow your highness? Asked one of the advisors.
"Don't ask me. Andrias is calling the shots tomorrow." King Aldrich turns his attention to his son. "Show them the key, son."
"Hmm? Oh, yes, of course." Andrias reach the key from his pocket, but his emotions were turned to fear then he realized. For in place of the key, he has a Newtopian bronze coin that he gave it to Cronaxx. "Ummmm…..be right back."
Prince Andrias and Hydregion sped off to get the key back from his friends, leaving his father and servants behind. King Aldrich knows something is wrong when he looked disappointed towards his son.
Back in the chamber where the panel was, Leif, Lilligant, Sir Arron, Lucario, Bagon, Dragonite, and Cronaxx prepared to make their stand while Henry and Goodra has his mind of his own. She turns the key to open the door and entered as they stepped closer to the panel.
"So what do we do?" Leif asked.
"You and Sir Arron take these gems and take them far away from the Orre Region. I sent Henry to make sure that no one can make a duplicate. Even it means destroying my life's work." Cronaxx answered.
By then when Andrias and Hydregion arrived at the doorway, he's already too late. Sir Arron already had all six stones in his hand.
"Huh? Leif? Sir Arron? Cronaxx? What are you doing?!" "Uh, Lilligant? Lucario? Dragonite? What are you doing?!" Then Hydregion saw Bagon with the other pokemon "You!! Are you the cause of all this!" Hydregion says in rage.
Then they turned their heads at the prince and Hydregion as they where in shock to see him and his partner. Cronaxx and Sir Arron steps up confront him.
"The time has come for us to draw our own lines, Andrias. Decide where we go from here." said Cronaxx sternly. "Andrias I would advise you and Hydregion to stand down. If you continue to follow you Father down this road I will have no choice but to announce to the world that you are a criminal working with your father." Sir Arron said coldly at Andrias.
"Hydregion please convince Andrias what he is doing is wrong." Dragonite pleaded for his friend. "If not Hydregion we will have no choice but to view you as an enemy." Lucario said harshly.
"If you don't stop this we will." Leif said. "Hydregion please come with us if you and Andrias stay with King Aldrich you will have no future in this world." Lilligant pleaded. "Lucario use aura sphere at the panel destroy it!" Sir Arron commanded Lucario. "Yes, Sir Arron." Lucario said. Lucario summoned a blue sphere in his paw and aimed it at the panel. He fired his aura sphere at the panel causing it to explode.
"NO!" The prince cried out. "What have you done!" Hydregion said in anger.
"Dragonite use ice beam in the floor!" Cronaxx said. Dragonite let out a white ray and fired it on the ground. Which the floor turned to ice. This made Andrias fell on the ground Hydregion was helping his partner up. They all made a break for it as they escape the chamber. When Andrias recovered his footing he and Hydregion started to chase them while passing two people.
"Wait! No!"
Meanwhile Barrel and Growlthie where whistling and was strolling the hallway, but they stopped when Leif, Lilligant, Sir Arron, Lucario, Cronaxx, Dragonite, and Bagon ran past them.
"Huh?" "What's going on?" But then, Andrias and Hydregion bumps into them. "Hey what's the ruckus?!" "What happened?!" "Leif, Cronaxx, and Sir Arron have betrayed us!" Prince Andrias cried. "Bagon has somehow manipulated our friends and their trainers to steal the stones and destroy the panel!!" Hydregion yelled in anger.
"What? They never do that!" Barrel said disbelief. "Hydregion that's impossible Bagon is down in the basement garden!" Growlithe argued.
"I know what I saw Growlithe!" Hydregion roared in anger. "I saw it with my own eyes. Come on. We gotta find them before they do something crazy!" Andrias said.
Andrias helps Barrel up while, Hydregion picks up Growlithe. They pursued Leif, Sir Arron, and Cronaxx, and Bagon with their pokemon. They run into Cyrus' old assembly line, with Andrias, Hydregion, Barrel and Growlithe in tow. "They're heading for the armory. Me and Growlithe will cut them off!" Barrel notifies before they enter a secret tunnel behind a picture frame. Thanks for the shortcut, Barrel and Growlithe bursts through the wall by his war hammer and his partner blocking their path.
"Stop right there, you three! Don't make me do this." Barrel and Growlithe get in their battle stance. " Bagon your here? Hydregion was right about you. As for you guys how could you and your trainers betray Andrias and Hydregion." Growlithe said in disgust.
"Barrel. Please trust us. What we do, we do for all of us." Leif pleaded her friend. "Growlithe please let us through, if we don't do this then the Orre region and every other region will suffer." Lilligant tried to convince Growlthie.
"Leif, I-I don't know." Barrel was hesitated at the moment. "Lilligant please stop, I don't want to hurt any of you. But if Barrel orders me to attack you. I will have no choice but to obey don't take it personal." Growlithe said.
"You should know this. Aldrich did it." Said Cronaxx.
"Did what?"
"In this very room, he killed my brother, Cyrus. That was no accident."
"It's true Growlithe, I was there when Aldrich killed my best friend." Bagon said sadly.
"No, he couldn't! He said it was an accident!
"They were the only ones here and Aldrich comes back alone, all dirty."
Barrel and Growlithe were more in shock. They couldn't believe what his friend is saying.
Then their thoughts were interrupted by Andrias and Hydregion's shouts.
"STOP!" "Don't let them get away!"
As on cue, Leif, Cronaxx, and Sir Arron were able to get past Barrel. Their pokemon were able to get past Growlithe as well. They got away so quickly before the furious prince and his furious Hydregion shows up!
"HEY! Get back here!" "STOP in the order by the Prince!" Barrel and his Growlithe cried, but the prince and Hydregion shoved them aside.
"Hydregion use tri beam" Andrias ordered him to attack them. Hydregion let out fire, electric, and ice out of each of there mouth as it fired at his friends. They were able to dodge all three beams. "Lilligant use energy ball." Leif had commanded Lilligant to attack Andrias's Hydregion. Lilligant created a green energy ball and thought it at Hydregion. Andrias quickly said "Hydregion use dragon tail to block." Hydregion's tail glow purple with dragon energy. It swung his tail to block Lilligant's energy ball. It was redirected to Cronaxx's eye by accident, leaving him with a big scar. Leif, Sir Arron and there pokemon saw what happened to Cronaxx as he scream in pain by holding his right eye. "CRONAXX!"
But the young professor recovers as he said: Dragonite use HYPERBEAM! With that Dragonite let out a very powerful attack as the beam head straight for Andrias and Hydregion. "Hydregion use protect quickly!" Andrias shouted. As smoke engulfed the room. Cronaxx ride on Dragonite's back to escape. Sir Arron and Lucario were able to get Leif, Bagon, and Lilligant out of the room and down the hall before Cronaxx's Dragonite was able to finish hyperbeam. "Sir Arron we should go back towards the basement garden there are some Sawbuck's that can help us escape." Leif advised him. "Alright then lead the way Leif." Sir Arron said.
As the smoke died down, it could be seen that Hydrogen had created a green shield to protect them from the blast. Andrias, Barrel, and Growlthie got up. Andrias and Hydregion looked very angry at Barrel and Growlthie. "You had a chance to stop them! What happened?! Prince Andrias shouted. "Growlthie you let them escape do you realize what you and Barrel had just done!!" Hydregion shouted angerly. "They confused me! Cronaxx said about your father killing Cyrus." Barrel stammered. "LIES!" Andrias furiously drag Barrel as Hydregion picked up Growlthie. "Come on!"
"Cronaxx and his Dragonite knew where Leif, Sir Arron, and there pokemon where headed.
They met up in the basement garden. Leif looked shocked at Cronaxx's appearance. She felt ashamed that she hurt him. Lilligant comfort her friend from her sadness.
"Cronaxx, are you okay?" Leif asked sincerely.
"I'm okay. It's just a scratch." replied Cronaxx.
"But your hurt. I'm so sorry."
"It looked really bad Cronaxx I think you should rest." Sir Arron suggested.
"Thanks, but no thanks Sir Arron. There's something I have to first before Dragonite and me leave to your home region Kanto for a long while before we decide to go to Johto. Cronaxx then turned to Leif and said: It wasn't your fault. You have nothing to apologize." She could see the scar on his left eye which was damaged, but his left eye was covered and bloody. "This is where we part ways. Take the stones and never come back to the Orre Region." Said Cronaxx.
"Okay." she nodded.
"Before you go Cronaxx let Lucario try to heal your left eye. Although the blood will disappear, but your scar will remain and your vision will only come back 50%. Your eye may never be the same ever again." Sir Arron said.
Cronaxx thought about it before agreeing to let Lucario heal him.
"Okay Lucario use your heal pulse to fix Cronaxx's left eye."
"Sure thing Sir Arron." Lucario said before radiating a soothing aura. Cronaxx's eye started to glow and about a few seconds his blood from his eye disappeared only his scar will remain for the rest of his life.
"Feeling better Cronaxx?" Sir Arron asked.
"Much better, thank you my friend." Cronaxx said.
"You healed Cronaxx's wound! Thank you Sir Arron for help Cronaxx!" Leif shouted with thankfulness.
"Your welcome Leif." Sir Arron said smiling at the two.
After that Leif, Lilligant, Bagon, Lucario, and Sir Arron were about to part ways, but they both stopped and turned around to say there last goodbyes.
"Bagon I am very sorry I didn't believe you when you said King Aldrich killed Cyrus if I had maybe this never would have happened." Dragonite said sadly.
Bagon walked up to Dragonite and said " we can't change the past but what is important is the here and now. Dragonite you helped us get the stones from the calamity panel by doing that Aldrich is finally going to be stopped. For that Dragonite I had forgiven you." Bagon said with a smile.
Dragonite smiled at his cousin as they hug for the last time. Lilligant and Lucario said their tearful goodbyes to each other before going back to their trainers.
"And Cronaxx." She takes his hand with one final look. "You were the best friend I ever had."
She gives a young wizard a soft kiss on his cheek. He sadly smiles.
"You will always be. No matter how far apart we are." said Cronaxx. Sir Arron said sadly "take care, my friend." Cronaxx got on Dragonite and left the garden.
Leif and Lilligant helped Bagon, Sir Arron and Lucario get on there Sawbuck while they got on their's. They were both spring Sawbuck with flowers on it's antlers. They woke up curiously. "Come on girl we got to get out of here."
Meanwhile in Cronaxx's chamber, they appeared to see Henry and Goodra had gathered their belongings to Henry's travel bag, but Henry and Goodra saw Cronaxx had a scar on the left side of his face which shocked them. "What happened?" Henry asked.
"Just a scratch. Nothing to worry about." replied Cronaxx. Did you gather everything?
"Yes. All the plans I made for weapons were destroyed." Henry answered.
"Good."
Henry noticed Leif and Sir Arron weren't with him. Goodra also noticed Lilligant, Bagon, and Lucario weren't with Dragonite.
"Where is Leif and Sir Arron?" "Dragonite where is Lilligant, Bagon, and Lucario."
They shifted sadly when they answered. "We parted our ways." "They went to with their trainer when we parted our ways."
"I guess is goodbye then." said Henry. "I'm gonna miss you Dragonite." Said Goodra.
Cronaxx shocked his hands with Henry with a sad look, while Dragonite and Goodra hugged it out.
"I'll miss you too Goodra you are one of a kind and my best friend." Dragonite said.
"It's been an honor serving with you, my friend." said Cronaxx.
"The honor is mine." replied Henry. Take care of yourself you two.
The professor and dragon nodded. So, the scientist and his Goodra parted his way when he left the chamber, leaving the professor and dragon alone. They knew what must be done. He takes his satchel that Henry packed and the only takes the drawings of Hoho with him.
"No one can know. Not anymore." Cronaxx then said "there is no turning back now. Dragonite use flamethrower destroy everything!"
Dragonite let out a powerful flamethrower all over the room. Papers of his maps, constellations, blue prints of new calamity panels, all started to go up in flames. All his hard work, his dreams were burnt to a crisp.
"I'm sorry, Cyrus."
Suddenly, they heard banging which turns out that the robots were made by his brother were preparing to breach the front door to his chamber. They needed to act fast.
"Dragonite use hyperbeam." Dragonite let out a hyperbeam which caused the chamber to explode. The castle shook, causing the inhabitants to panic. Henry and Goodra knows that Cronaxx and Dragonite had escaped. The robots from the door were left damaged by cobblestone blocking the passageway. Cronaxx is shown flying away on Dragonite back thanks to his hyperbeam.
Then he disappears from the city of Newtopia and we're now flying all the way to the Kanto Region. Meanwhile, Andrias, Hydregion, Barrel, and Growlthie heard an explosion.
"What was that?" Prince Andrias was stunned.
They head over to investigate, but they have found the chamber was entirely destroyed with smoke and flames all over.
"This was Cronaxx's room." Barrel noticed.
Andrias and Hydregion looks out of the city gate was destroyed as well. His former friends and his new friend must have escaped thanks to his effort.
"Leif…Cronaxx… Sir Arron."
All that's left was destroyed. He could only sit and watch his two closest friends and his new friend had escaped, preventing from the ecological disaster to the Orre Region. A disaster he ignored thanks to his family's legacy on the line. Something had changed inside the Prince. Something snapped. From fear into anger into hatred.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Lightning boom as Hydregion let out an angry roar they let out there fury all over the castle. Outside from the city, Leif, Lilligant, Bagon, Sir Arron and Lucario were riding on Sawbuck's backs. While Sir Arron still has the stones in his hand, they watch Cronaxx's room get destroyed as he and Dragonite flew across the sky. They flew all with all their might. The only thing to do is seek out Valieriana for help.
"We must find Valieriana Sir Arron she will know what to do." Sir Arron nodded in agreement. Leif let out small tears, knowing she will never return. "I am sorry my friend but these stones can not stay here in the Orre region."
All she and Sir Arron can do is to take Cronaxx's advice and leave the Orre region. Never to return. She knew what needed to be done in order to protect the people and pokemon.
As the storm pass, the councils were gathered in the throne room where Andrias was standing in front of his father who looks very much displeased for the prince's friends actions, even more then the outsider known as Sir Arron. Hydregion was next to his partner trying to ease his guilt and sadness. For the first time in his life, he had failed his father and his family's legacy.
"The worst has come to pass. The stones have left the Orre region. It is lost and so is our legacy." said King Aldrich coldly.
"I promise… me and Hydregion will do everything in our power to right this wrong." Prince Andrias begging to correct his error.
"There is nothing you can do, son. Our way of life is ruined." Then the Core's eye appears on the crown again and informs him that there was a prophecy. "I see…According to the old prophecy, the stones will return, when and how is impossible to calculate. So we will wait, we will leave this city and live throughout the Orre region and abandoned the castle and change our names since Sir Arron will call reinforcements from Kanto to capture all of us. We will find another way to help pokemon by doing thorough research. When our birthright has return to us. And only then will you, begin to redeem yourself."
All he could do is to correct his mistakes. Among the councils, they were very displeased with the Prince for not invading the Kanto region. Barrel, Growlthie, Henry, and Goodra couldn't bear a look on what happened next.
Later on, Andrias furiously burst the door open to his room with Hydregion, Barrel, Growlthie, Henry, and Goodra behind. He was so furious that the two of his closest friends have betrayed him and that outsider Sir Arron if he hadn't shown up none of this would be happening."
"That slippery Leif, that Aura Guardian, and that professor has ruined everything! I must find that Guardian and make him pay for what he had done. Maybe that Professor is good as dead." Andrias turned his glare who also has failed him. "And as for you and that Growlthie, you two had failed me as well. I'm having you banished from the Orre Region never to return. A escort of guards will take you and Growlthie on a ship to the infamous Kanto Region by tomorrow that will give you enough time to gather your belongings, where you live there or any other region. You will never to return, if you do I will have you and Growlthie executed for being traitors. Now, get out of my sight!" Hydregion roared angrily at Barrel and Growlthie.
Barrel and Growlthie were in shock. Not only that he had lost their trust, but they were sent to exile to the Kanto Region and any other region that is not the Orre Region. Even Hydregion roared at them he never did that before on less your the prince's enemy. He and Growlthie started to swell up tears with their hurtful looks.
"(Sniffles)" Your Highness… " Barrel bows and walks away as the poor exguard and his Growlthie left the room.
Henry and Goodra sat there and watch their friends sadly disembark from the Prince's room. Andrias gives the scientist an angry look.
"What are you looking at?"
Then the scientist gives him a scolding look.
"This is gone too far, Andrias! Pushing Barrel?! This is unacceptable! Henry chided.
"Hydregion how could you roar at Growlthie like that was horrible thing to do!" Goodra yelled at him.
"Goodra! Leif and Cronaxx had turned their back my master! As for Sir Arron, Bagon, and his Lucario if we ever crossed paths again they will pay with their own blood for making my best friend suffer! As for Barrel and Growlthie they got what they deserve for failing us!"
Goodra was in shock on how much Hydregion has changed he was like a totally different pokemon now. Which was starting to scare him.
"Barrel had failed me! Leif, Cronaxx, and Sir Arron betrayed us!"
"Then you are no better then your own father! Is this what your mother would have really wanted?!"
The prince froze that he mentioned about his mother, but then looks angry even more.
"You dare to accuse me?! Andrias threatens him while Hydregion roared at Henry and Goodra.
"You can hate me all you want, but I want no part of your poisonous dream! Goodra let's go were leaving." Goodra nodded at his friend not before giving Hydregion a hateful glare.
Next morning Henry and Goodra were on the boat that was taking them to the Kanto Region. They saw Barrel and Growlthie being escorted onto the ship. They talked for a while and Henry explained what Leif, Cronaxx, and Sir Arron did along with their pokemon was to save the Orre Region since King Aldrich was going to sacrifice the people and pokemon from all regions to get what he wanted by ignoring the consequences. Barrel had to admit what Henry said did make sense. Especially what Cronaxx said about King Aldrich killing Cyrus and how in the throne room that he was ignoring his people's safety just to get what he wants. Barrel was still upset that Leif, Cronaxx, and Sir Arron had betrayed them, but he is starting to forgive them for what they did. Growlithe was ashamed at himself for not listening to his pokemon friends. If he had Barrel and him would be more happier then they are now. Goodra gave Growlthie a reassuring smile. Then the boat had set sail to the Kanto Region.
After the ship left with his exfriends he and Hydregion turned their heads at the portrait where Andrias got for his friends as they step closer. When all his reminded him how he use to have friends, but now he felt betrayed. Filed by his rage for betrayal and then he said in rage: "HYDREGION USE DRAGON TAIL!!!" Hydregion let out a hatful roar as his tail glow and scrape off the portraits, scarring his and Hydregion's life… forever.
Meanwhile in the outskirts a place called Mt. Travail, it took them a day or two when Leif, Bagon, their pokemon, Sir Arron and the Sawbucks. Good thing that she knows where Valariana lives. It started to get foggy so they went into the mountain. They all got off the Sawbucks as they made their way up the mountain' leaving the Sawbucks as lookouts.
They traveled halfway up the mountain when they saw a gate that was leading to the upper stair case to the top of the mountain, but then two guards that wore black robes with red hourglass pendants, and spears pointed there weapons at them. The guards had two houndooms on each side were growling at them.
"Who dares trespass the gate to the top of Mt. Travail?" One of the guards demanded.
Leif was cautious, but brave enough to answer. Sir Arron was brave enough to stand beside her.
"Please. We need your help. You're the only ones that knows about the prophecy." Leif pleaded.
The guards were quite surprised, having their second thoughts. They glanced at each other, thinking if it's a trick or not. But instead they nodded as they returned their houndooms.
"Very well. We shall take you to see Valieriana."
Leif and Sir Arron nodded as they all proceed to enter the gate as the guards escort them to Valeriana. It won't be long until Leif, Sir Arron, Lilligant, Bagon, and Lucario passed through the gate which closed behind them. They started to think that coming here is the right think to do in order to seek help.
"Valeriana's chamber is at the top of Mt. Travail, but be careful it can get steep." The other guard said to remind them.
Once they arrived at Valierian's chamber where it covered the whole mountain top. There was lava all over the place, but there was a large mass of land for people and pokemon to walk on. There was tent at the middle of the large land mass. It was a green tent with yellow stars on the tarp. A few meters in front of it was a machine with levers and buttons on it. It was a sliver metal box. Behind it was a medium size gong with a stick next to it.
Leif then went to pick up the stick to bang the gong to get Valerian's attention. Then a shout could be heard from the tent, "WHO BANG THAT GONG IT BETTER BE IMPORTANT!!!" Then a young fifteen year old girl with short grey hair, wearing a black cloak with a necklace that had the red hourglass symbol on it. She wore a brown glove on her hand but they noticed that she only had one arm and was using a walking cane or stick to help her get around. There was also Chatot sitting on her shoulder. Leif, Sir Arron, and pokemon were surprised to see a teenager in the place on the supposed wise guardian of the stones. The teenager looked curious at Leif, she put the stick next to the gong before the teenage girl said.
"So it was you that had woke me and Leander's nap."
"Sir Arron are you sure this girl is the great Valreiana that Leif was telling us about she kinda of look too young to be a guardian."
"I don't know Lucario, but Leif said that she is then we will have to trust her judgment." Sir Arron whispered to Lucario.
"I can hear you two! Tell the jackal that I had years of experience as a guardian since my mother the previous guardian died 10 years ago!!" Valerian wasn't in the mood for games.
Lucario and Sir Arron were in shock that a young girl like her can give them a sharp scolding.
"Are you Valeriana?" Leif asked.
"Yes I am the keeper of the prophecy of the stones, upon which the fate of this world. What is it that you seek?"
"That you seek?, That you seek?" Leander squawk.
"My name is Leif, and we need your help. Me and Sir Arron and I saw the future about what's going to happen. The music box warned us that we might end up destroying the world if we continue to use the stones. Many people and pokemon will suffer." Leif explained to Valeriana.
"So you two have foreseen the prophecy. Do you not?"
"Yes ma'am. We say everything with our own eyes." Sir Arron told Valeriana.
"I tried to warn my friend, Andrias and his father, King Aldrich, but they wouldn't listen. So,
Cronaxx, Sir Arron, our pokemon and I stole the stones after they believe me and then we split up to escape from Newtopia never to return. That's why we came here, because you are the only one who knows how."
"Valeriana sighed before saying so it has come to this. You see 2 years ago I warned King Aldrich that going after the stones and using them would have disastrous consequences. But he refused so I told him that I won't help him with his crazy dream. He didn't like that and branded me a traitor to the whole of the Orre region. Not before he sent his own Hydregion on me by using crunch on my right arm which was totally damaged beyond repair. If it hadn't been for my guards, I…. don't want to think about it." Valeriana said in fear.
We all thought that she had to gone through a lot when King Aldrich destroyed her arm.
Valeriana walked towards Leif with a sad smile on her face. "I'm sorry, you two. But what you have say in your vision you saw it inevitable."
"What? But we took the stones?!" Leif said.
"Yes, you two did, but you only delay what's to come. But there is a solution."
"Yes please tell us." Sir Arron said eagerly.
As on que, Valeriana was in gilded in a pink aura as her eyes turned white. She ended up using her powers to move the levers which cause an opening to open up as a mural was brought up from the bottom of the land mass. It showed 13 gem stones of each colors on the wall."
"13 stars burning bright. Come from beyond a region to expel the night. Should they fight or embrace the fall? Their choice will determine all."
"13 stars?" Leif and Sir Arron repeated. "Yes many years ago, there were originally to be three stones that fell from the sky, but there are more then just three stones. 12 stones were found and discovered by explorers and delivered to the King Ancestors. My ancestors believe they serve a greater purpose, and should be left alone. While others believe their power should be used for conquest. These conquerors, with there arrogance and greed, created an unnatural thing that does not sleep and will not die. The prophecy is our one chance of salvation, and we believe these 13 beings will appear to save us from what we've become the worst version of ourselves."
Then the mural of 13 figures in each color. Five girls and eight boys with Calamity powers as they fought against a giant frog with evil eyes holding a flame. Leif and Sir Arron remembers what they had seen from their vision, but what does it mean?
"Unnatural thing?" Bagon said in confusion.
"That's right. They served with the entity that desires for conquest. If they all succeed, then I'm afraid all is not lost, but there is one hope. Behold."
"Valeriana summoned another mural with her powers, but it had different creatures on it, Leif , Sir Arron and there pokemon look carefully at each creature one was a pink cat like pokemon, three birds, three beasts, a green fairy, a sliver sea beast, a rainbow bird, one magma creature, a large sea beast, a green dragon, an alien with stars around it, an actual star, two creatures that look like twins, three titans, a couple of sea beings, one creature that looks like a beast with a diamond, a creature looks like a beast with a pearl, a grey ghost dragon, a plant beast, three ocean sprites, a god like pokemon, a lava beast, a dark creature, a holy creature, a titan, five sword creatures, four beings sitting in clouds, a v shape creature, three dragons that are black, white, and grey, a creature with rings, a creature that looks like a gem, a deer creature, a bird creature, a green snake like creature, a mask beast creature, four guardians, sun lion, moon bat, black prism creature, two wolves one sword, one shield, a purple dragon. A bear like creature, two titans one electric, one dragon, three birds, a horse creature of ghost or ice, a deer creature, a plant and dark creature, and two vehicle creatures one looks futuristic the other looked retro.
"These symbols are pokemon that the chosen ones will meet and must help in order for each region to survive from chaos. By doing this they will be one step closer on defeating the night."
Leif, Sir Arron and the pokemon were surprised that all were true. Could they believe the chosen ones can save our world from destruction?
"And there's only one way to keep our world safe. Release the gems the others will follow. Wait 20 years…" Valerian's aura dies down and her eyes where back to normal. As she continued to speak. "Thirteen champions will find it and put a stop to the King's greed and save our world."
"You said thirteen but there are only twelve gems?" Sir Arron questioned.
Valerian took out a rainbow gem in her pocket for them to see.
" I was able to hide this gem for two years." Valerinia looked at Sir Arron before giving him the gem. "Here take this Sir Arron your going to need it."
"So I'm one of the chosen ones?" Sir Arron asked.
"No but your kin is." Valerinia said seriously.
"My infant son Riley, he's going to be chosen?"
"What!? No?! Not him either!" Valerinia was losing her patience with Sir Arron.
That's when Sir Arron realized what Valerinia was getting at. "You mean mine and scarlet's next child will be one of the chosen ones!?" Sir Arron said in total shock so was everyone else in the room.
"Yes she will be, Not only will she be an aura user like you and your son, she will become the rainbow hero and meet the legendary Hoho. Once your daughter turns five give her the rainbow stone."Valerinia stated.
Sir Arron was so moved that he's going to have a daughter some day. Everyone else was excited for him.
Valerinia looked at him with a sad face she didn't tell him the whole truth about his daughter. It's true she will be a aura user and the rainbow hero, but what he didn't know that she will develop psychic powers. To obtain them she will be used as a lab rat by evil people when they capture her from her home, kill her mother and Sir Arron. He will never see be the hero she was destined to be. Valerinia knew of no circumstances can she reveal his future or his faith, because if it did it could cause the prophecy to be undone so she decided to stay quite.
"Now you must get rid of the stones so that they will find the chosen ones 20 years later."
"How do we do that?" Leif asked.
"Sir Arron since you are an aura guardian you can tap into the stones power and ask them to find the chosen ones." Valerinia suggested.
Sir Arron nodded before whispering to the stones to find the chosen ones. With that all six stones glow and disappeared from thin air all except the rainbow stone. Back in Newtopia another six gems glowed then disappeared.
Back at Mt. Travial: Everyone exited the mountain as they get ready for their departure.
"Thank you Valeriana, for everything." Leif said gratefully.
"Your welcome Miss." Valeriana nodded.
"And Leif."
She and Lilligant turned around to see a sad look on Valeriana's face.
"I am sorry about your friends." Valeriana apologize. "Truly I am."
Leif smiled sadly at her. Valeriana the Guarfiam had shown her respect towards her.
"Yeah me too."
"Valeriana, thank you for helping us. With your help our world will be saved." Sir Arron said greatfully.
"Anytime." Valeriana said before going back into the mountain.
They both hope by fulfill the prophecy they could avoid destruction.
"I'm sorry, Drias. This is for your own good."
"So where will you and Lilligant be heading now that you can't return to Newtopia?" Sir Arron asked.
Leif thought for a moment, then said, "I probably will go back to Poni Island in the Alola Region. You see Sir Arron me and my family came from the Alola Region. I came here to the Orre Region working for King Aldrich as a gardener when I was eight. Since my family worked as farmers on Poni Island. I only took the job was to help my family financially since we're poor and sometimes the veggies would wither and die. I do visit my family a week in every month.
I also had a young daughter named Sally and my husband's name is Hopidiah Planter. He's a young professor studying how pokemon can change the appearance and type just by living in a different region's climate. He is quite famous in the world of pokemon. He has blond slick hair, brown eyes, wears a green suite and orange ascot while wearing his lab coat. Sally is a younger version of me but wears a pink shirt and red overalls. She's three years old."
"I'm sorry about that Leif, I hope you and your family will be alright after what happened in Newtopia." Sir Arron said sadly.
"Don't worry Sir Arron my family will find a way to get by, we all ways do." Leif smiled.
"I guess this is goodbye Sir Arron, Lucario, and Bagon." Leif said sadly.
"Goodbye Leif I pray you and your family will be alright." Sir Arron said.
There pokemon said there heartfelt goodbyes before going their separate ways.
Leif had returned to her family as she told them what happened in Newtopia. Hopidiah was sad, angry, and relief that his wife was alright. Sally was just happy her mother was home permanently.
As for Sir Arron, like he promised Bagon he brought him to the Hoenn Region where he will live a happy life. When they said their goodbyes and headed back to Cameron Palace when she told Queen Rin about what happened in the Orre Region. Queen Rin was very upset that King Aldrich was going to conquer Kanto. So she gathered everyone for war. The war only lasted 2 years since the Orre Region's soldiers and pokemon weren't as powerful as their were. During the War Newtopia was completely destroyed everything was reduced to rubble. Queen Rin found out that King Aldrich had died and his body was on the throne. She made a proper burial for him even though he didn't deserve it. Queen Rin was very kind to had done this for an enemy. As for Andrias and his followers they had already left before the war even started. So Queen Rin had branded him and anyone that followed him a traitor to every region. There wasn't a single region that doesn't have his wanted poster.
After the War Queen Rin made a peace agreement with the people of Orre that is they stopped conquering regions she will help them make a independent government for them and create a league for them. The people of Orre had decided to accept Queen Ron's offer and broke ties to the crown completely. They decided the gym challenge should be around 4 or 5 colosseums for the first half of the challenge the second half should be on a large landmass that hasn't been used by the Royal family, so they decided to create 11 more colosseums for the second half. Each would receive pendant for each colosseum they must win in order to enter the Orre League. Queen Rin agreeded and helped them construct 15 or 16 colosseums.
As for Sir Arron and Lucario they decided to leave the Kanto Region with his wife Sacarlet and his infant son Riley an island next to Hoenn that said It was home to the legendary pokemon Mew. Queen Rin had announced Sir Arron's and Lucario's retirement as Aura Guardians.
A few years later Sir Arron was the chief of the village called Ball des Solla along with his partner Lucario, his wife Scarlet. His twelve year old son Riley and his two year old daughter named Hikari that is wearing a grey stone around her neck. This story is only the beginning for Hikari see what happens next as the journey continues.
So that's the first prologue I did for the story there are still 3 more prologue chapters before I get to the main story. I'll upload more chapters depending how long they are or how much time I have. I also had asked Disneydude94's permission if I could use the characters from Living in a frog world and some of his characters. He has given me permission to do so. I will also give them credit for their hard work on making these characters for other people to enjoy reading about and getting to know. I will only use one or two characters for each region in my future stories I won't say who I chose that's a surprise. As for the last name Uzumaki there have no relation of Naruto Uzumaki. I only but it down for Sir Arron last name because I like the name and the anime never gave him a last name so I decided to give him one.
