Before I start this fic please note. Chapter 2 is a continuation of the pokemon journey of Ken the pokemon trainer. For that alternate continuation which my creative mind + tons of candy + pokemon addiction has come up with please look out for a new fic which I am posting that continues from chapter one through a different storyline. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Chapter 2: A shocking "R"evelation

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon and never will unless you dear readers would buy it over for me (in which the case Saturday morning cartoons would be much more interesting). That is final. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________

Faced off against a bunch of 80 odd ferocious, angry mankey Ken gets a little intimidated. There was an eerie silence through the air as 15 trainers including Ken reached for their pokemon, still constantly keeping a vigil lookout on the mankey just in case they decided to pull something off. Nurse joy and a few other trainers stood by to help just in case. Although adrenaline was pumping through the veins of each trainer ready for a battle they had one common worry, how were they going to defeat all the mankey while still leaving a gap for nurse joy and the others to come and retrieve the injured trainer? (Bet you thought I was going to forget all about that poor trainer right?)

Finally one of the mankey jumped forward with a low kick but in midair a colorless blast knocked it into a nearby tree causing the mankey to faint and a few metapod to fall out of the tree. "Good.. job .. Vapor" smiled the injured trainer before he winced again in pain. Standing a few feet away from the group was a vaporeon which belonged to the injured trainer. Rushing onto the scene nurse joy managed to get the trainer stand up and proceeded to help him back to the pokemon centre. "No, let me fight. I must be in this battle or they will never be able to win," argued the boy. "Im sorry but you really need your rest, look at yourself you are so badly injured im worried you might have to have a blood transfusion," replied nurse joy calmly. "Don't worry kid, leave things to us we can handle a few monkeys" yelled out a hiker. A loud war cry was heard and all hell broke lose.

"Go steelix! I choose you Golbat! Sandslash sand attack! Flaffy .. Go!" yelled the whole group of trainers as they let their pokemon loose. In a few minutes chaos reigned. A steelix flung two mankey with a swipe of its tail while a pidgeotto dived down on a mankey only to be grounded moments later by a karate chop from another. A bolt of electricity fried a few of the mankeys very well when they were wet from a horsea's water gun knocking them out flat. As the battle raged on the trainers realized they would soon be overwhelmed by the mankey's concentration. But just as things were beginning to look desperate a weird rainbow like aura filled the air and soon both mankey and pokemon began collapse and faint. In no time all the mankey had either fainted or ran away.

"What the hell just happened here?" asked a very puzzled trainer as he returned his fainted weepinbell to its pokeball. "Im sorry, I had no choice and there wasn't much time seeing the trouble you were in." "Who.. Who are you? And what did you do?" asked ken as he cuddled horsea who was pretty badly injured but not badly enough to make it faint. "Im sorry, hello, allow me to introduce myself. I am Matthew and I am training to be part of Sabrina's gym in saffron city, I was passing by when I saw that you guys were in trouble, a quick mind probe and I discovered." "Wait a second! Since you are training to be part of Sabrina's gym.. you are a psychic! Which meant that that attack was.. Psychic! "Yes thanks to my slowking, and I also did a quick mind probe and discovered something was wrong with those mankey, they were not angry or something.. In fact I think they were.. Gulp .. Afraid" quickly finished Matthew.

"Afraid? What of? They have almost no natural predators here" commented nurse joy who was coming out of the pokemon centre with the injured trainer. "They were not just afraid in fact they were.. how do you say.. Compelled to or threatened." replied the trainer. "Sorry but I am Timothy call me Tim if you wish. I came here after my detector detected a strange energy concentration spreading out from the power plant towards the surrounding area. A suspicion you may call it but I think team rocket has something to do with this." "Why do you say so?" asked Ken curiously. "Because a few years back in johoto, team rocket built a device in mahogany town which caused all the magikarp in the lake of rage to evolve into mad machines of destruction, gyarados. During its activation, my detector detected a strange wave of energy, now the patterns which I am reading from this area are almost identical to the one I detected at the lake of rage except they are much stronger than before." Replied Tim worriedly. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Is team Rocket really behind all this?
