"Professor! Come quickly!" A large man exclaimed. Professor Hale sat up in his bed quickly and rubbed his eyes.
"What going on?" He asked sleepily.
"There's been an earthquake, the epicenter was right in the center of the ruins, right where we can't reach, we need to check to see if it damaged anything, and to see if it opened up any new rooms," The man said excitedly.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Professor Hale said as he slid his legs over the side of his bed and pulled the blankets off. He slipped his shoes on quickly and stepped out of the tent. It was night, almost pitch black. The only light was that coming from the very thin sliver of a moon, but instead of being the normal pure white light, it was a blue tinted light. Within a few steps the clouds overhead started pouring down rain, it came quickly and soak everything almost instantly.
"In here Professor!" Professor Hale stepped inside the entrance to the ruins, the ruins that had been a mystery for over 5 decades. A thin light shone inside from the few lit lamps hanging from the ceiling. They passed dozens of rooms filled with the writing that no on had been able to decipher, the writing of the Unown.
A few years earlier a young girl named Molly, Professor Hale's daughter, claimed to have been able to read the writing. This was after her father had been taken capture by the Unown. After he returned Molly gave up her argument about the reading, and no one believed that Professor Hale had seen the Unown, because no proof that they existed had ever been found.
Soon they reached the last room that had previously been enterable. But at the end of the room was a new opening, one that they hadn't found in their searches. The professors glanced at each other and then stepped in. Within the room was a box of tiles that was hid in the shadows that they didn't notice. What they did notice was the writing on the walls, unlike all of the other rooms, that were completely covered in the writing which said the same thing over and over, this room had several spots where a few lined would be written.
"What could this mean?" The man asked.
"I don't know Calvin, but this could be our key to solving the mystery of the Unown," Answered Professor Hale. "But we should get some sleep tonight, we'll investigate tomorrow."
With that the two professors walked out the way they came, unknown to the that a small black pokemon shaped like an O was watching them.

"Great job Eevee! You did it!" Eevee hopped into my arms and I held him tight. He had won his third battle today, and he had won them all with ease.
"No! My unstoppable magnemite! How could you!" The trainer stomped away with his pokeballs in hand. I smiled and gave Eevee a biscuit from my backpack. I had been waiting on this route for the last 2 days, training my Eevee for what might be ahead, hoping to get him strong enough to beat the Azalea gym leader. Even my Cyndaquil was looking much better than it had when I caught it.
"Vee?" Eevee looked at me with his wide eyes hopefully.
"Okay, we can move on, it's getting a bit boring here anyway." I gathered up my items and put them all in my backpack and then Eevee and me started down the trail. I began to wonder how long it would take to make it to Azalea, it was pretty lonely without Kai to talk to. Eevee was a great companion, but it wasn't just the same as having someone who you could talk to.
Soon we found ourselves at what looked like an ancient archaeological site, there were tents everywhere, and one large building that said "Ruins of Alph Lab". As I stepped onto the site 3 men ran out of the building and toward what looked like a large cave entrance, help together by a spiked arc. I couldn't help my curiosity so I put Eevee on my shoulder and ran into the cave after them.
As soon as I set foot in the ruins I noticed the writing on the walls. I stopped and took a look at a section of the writing.
"Celebi was sealed within a small glass ball. The titans of earth and sky were unable to help. The power of the man was magnificent, it was as if he possessed the powers of a pokemon," I read quietly aloud. Then I decided to continue after the men, not understanding what any of the writing meant. Room after room I went through and soon came upon what looked like an opening made by a small explosive. I stepped inside and heard voices so I quickly stepped into the shadows, almost tripping over a stone box.
"But no one has been able to read the writing. I do not think this is enough to solve the mystery!" A first voice came.
"But there may be something here that can be the key, something to help us." Another voice said. I could faintly see him running his fingers over the writing, trying to make sense of it.
"Let's go call the headquarters, we can have them send down some more help." A third voice said with a sigh. They all nodded and walked out with a glum look upon their face. I stepped out of the darkness and walked over to where they were looking.
In my head I began to read, "The titans of air are under agony. The presence of an unknown spirit is torturing them. We can only hope this passes soon. The titans of earth are roaming near the ruins, feeling they are needed. The chosen ones must show up soon, lest the world be tossed into chaos, and the ---" My voice cut off as I heard another voice from behind me say,
"The beast of the sea is tired, searching for answers have wore him down. We cannot fathom what is happening, we hope the past will not repeat itself." It was a girl's voice, I turned around and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Ahh!" She yelled as she turned around. She looked at me with a puzzled look. "What are you doing here?"
"I was reading the walls..." I said, which sounded pretty lame to me.
"But no one can read them, they have never been deciphered."
I almost laughed. "What were you just doing then?"
She has a weird look on her face. "Okay, well no one but me has ever read them before. How can you?"
I thought for a moment. "I have no clue, they look just like letters of the alphabet to me."
"Same here," she said. "I'm Molly, Molly Hale." She held out her hand.
I took her hand and shook it. "I'm Ketay, nice to meet you. But do you know what this means?"
"I think it's the Unown, they keep watch over the chosen pokemon, but recently the writing has been weird. It seems as if they are troubled."
"What do you mean, recently?" I asked, confused.
"Well, the writing changes, every time something happens. Some of the writing describes the chosen pokemon, and some describes changes in the world."
I thought for a moment trying to take it in. "Well, let's keep reading, to see if we can find out anything."
"Good idea," she said, and we both turned and continued reading.

A large man stepped off his boat onto the beaches of Fire Island. He wore a long black cloak, tall black boats, and had long silver hair, which reflected the suns rays off like a gem does. In his hand he held a staff containing 15 stones embedded within, each depicting an element of a pokemon. On each end was a larger sphere, one as black as the night, and one a silvery gray, which depicted the newly identified elements, dark and steel. The main body of the staff was made of wood, enchanted to not break no matter what stress was put on it.
He pushed back his hair and looks around at the landscape. "The Titan of Fire, what a magnificent prize, soon to be mine."
The man held his staff up high, and then stabbed it down into the ground, causing a large earthquake that shook and island and brought large waves to the shore.
"That should bring it out..." As he finished a large bird flew out from behind a mountain. It's wings were like the flames of a fire, with a trail that creating a red beam behind him. The man held his staff out, parallel to the ground and moltres froze, as if time were stopped. Then the man swings the staff and the bird went flying into a nearby tree. It let out a loud scream and its head fell.
"Now that should bring the others..." Within seconds the titan of thunder and ice had arrived to aid the hurting bird of fire. "Splendid..." The man swung and staff in circles above his head, and 3 ball of light shot out and orbited him. Then he stopped the staff and the lights flew at the birds. As it hit them a ring grew around their body and sphere engulfed them, then the sphere shrank to the side of a large marble and shot at the man. They landed in the sand, inches in front of him. He bent down and picked them up and looked into them.
"Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno... All trapped within spheres... And they said you weren't catchable."
Then as the man turned around the weather changed immediately. First, missing the heat of Moltres, a biting cold wind from the north spread across the land, brining the world into cold. Second, without the control of Zapdos, clouds covered the land and random bolts of lightning were shot from the sky. And third, without the freezing powers of Articuno, the oceans began to rage, a snow began to fall, as if the whole world was in the blizzard.
The man smiled and stepped onto his boat, almost but not quite satisfied.
oxxx[ ]::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Look here!" I called to Molly. She ran over to me and read where I put my finger.
"The titans of the sky, sealed within spheres, are now powerless. The world is falling into chaos, the chosen ones must be found now, or the beast of the sea will not be able to restore peace to this land," she read aloud. "But I already read here! It just said that they were sensing danger... Unless... The writing changes..."
"It's the Unown... they control these ruins... It's the only explanation," I said, having no clue.
"Then where are they, these ruins have been searched hundreds of times, nothing but this writing has been found."
"Well if there was an entrance to another room... it would be towards to middle of the ruins... which would be over here," I said, walking to the wall directly across from the entrance to this room. "It says: We hide from peace, from those who can't see, but the chosen ones, are the key. Locked away we watch the land, side by side, hand in hand."
"The chosen ones are the key... all this writing mentions the chosen ones. It said that those who can see aren't the chosen ones, so maybe it's us. Worth a try," she said with a hint of confusion in her tone.
I held my hand up to the wall and ran it along the writing. I felt a cold chill run up my arm. "Here, look, this wall is cold..." She layed her hand on the wall beside mine and the chamber began to shake. I fell backwards and the wall ahead of us slid to the side, revealing a new, darker chamber. I looked at Molly and then we both stood up and walked into the chamber. The temperature was drastically lower than in the chamber before, and I felt cold almost immediately. My Eevee was gone, I would have ran off in search of him, but I couldn't seem to turn back. Then as we stepped forward and looked up, we found what we were looking for.
26 Unown were flying in a circle, as if they were the surface of a sphere. Inside was a large ball of complete darkness, just looking at it made me get even colder, which felt to me impossible. Then the Unown began twirling in circles near a wall to our left. We walked over and began reading the writing.
"We are the Unown. We supervise the pokemon of the world," Molly and my voices chimed together. "Your presence is needed to save the world from destructio-" We both stopped dead in our tracks.
"What if we don't want to save the world...?" Molly asked quietly. The letters on the wall changed and I read them.
"Your compliance is inevitable. If you do not willingly help, force will be used." I turned to Molly. "This sounds bad..." Then behind us we heard some noises.
"It's my dad and the other Professors!" Exclaimed Molly. Suddenly then, it felt as if I was thrown out of my body. I was looking at myself from behind me, and my body was moving on it's own. Mine and Molly's hands went up and we both spoke something in another language at the same time. The Unown began to glow and 2 balls of darkness shot from our extended hands and hit the doorway to this chamber, making it collapse, blocking off the entrance. Then, I was in control of my body.
"That was scary," I heard Molly whisper. I turned to the wall again and continued reading.
"The titans of the sky are captured, you must recover the Staff of Ages and free them. The staff is currently possessed by Tyral, who has the titans trapped within spheres. We alone cannot stand a chance, but with the aid of a powerful human body controlling our energy, it is possible. Summon the guardian of the sea, and the staff will be yours." I turned to Molly. "Lets do it, we are going to have to either way, if they can take control of our minds, there's nothing we can do."
Molly turned to the Unown, "We Accept." The unown began to swirl around us and then they faded away in a bright light. The back of our hands and arms had the writing of the Unown on it, and I felt power coursing through my body. I could feel energy coming from the floor, the walls, even from the air. I blinked and the setting changed.
oxxx[ ]::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Professor Hale, the entrance is blocked off! We can't get in!" Yelled Calvin.
"Molly isn't back at the tent. I can bet you anything she's in there with the Unown right now."
oxxx[ ]::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Molly, where are we?" I blinked, the landscape was cold, and it was cloudy and was snowing lightly.
"These are the shores of Shimute Island." We looked around, if it weren't for the mountains sticking up in places, I would have thought we were on an iceberg. But standing in front of us was a large man in a long cloak holding three spheres and a staff.
"That's the staff," I whispered to Molly. The man heard me and turned around.
"Who are you!?" He demanded in a loud voice.
"Uhh..." Was the only thing that could come out of my mouth.
"I won't have anyone messing up my plan. Lugia WILL be mine! The last who tried to get him may have failed, but I won't make that mistake." He held up his staff and a beam of fire shot out of a large red gem near the middle. I wasn't ready so I just up my arms to block my eyes but as it neared my arms it his a glowing shield of energy, with the markings of the Unown on it.
"The power of the Unown! That would prove a much better prize for my work. You! Come with me and I won't hurt you." He offered to me. The proposal was what I wanted, not to be hurt, but I wouldn't go with someone like him.
"How about, you hand over that staff and we don't hurt you," called out Molly. She held her hand up and shot out a beam of dark energy, just like when she had been under control. But the man deflected it with a swing of the staff.
"This staff can stand up against any pokemon, including the Unown." He swung the staff and a blade of ice flew at Molly, she dived aside and the blade hit the ground. Upon hitting the ground it froze, creating icicles sticking straight up. "Now DIE!" He threw another blade of energy, this time of thunder, at me. I held up my hand and once again it hit the shield which disappeared right after the blade was deflected. "Let's try a different approach." This time a green gem lit up and the earth around us blasted up, enclosing us inside a small mountain.
"Ideas?" I asked Molly.
"Blast through," She responded as she lifted up her hand and shout out a blast of energy. It hit the dirt but made no marks. "Or not..."
"We will never get the staff like this! What did the Unown say about summoning the guardian of the sea?" I asked her.
"Say? They didn't exactly say it, more like write it. And the guardian of the sea protects this island, Lugia."
"Well, lets get him to help!"
"How do you propose we do that?" She asked dumbfounded.
"With our powers, watch." I grabbed her hand and focused on the mountain. I closed my hand and then as I opened them, the mountain split apart and we stepped out. The man was now standing near the sea.
"Come out Lugia..." The man said quietly.
"Let us help you," Molly said. "Now, let's get him to come out." We grabbed each other's hands and closed our eyes and focused on Lugia. Soon enough a cyclone appeared in the water. It spun at a great force, making all the nearby water spin in a spiral. Then out from the top of the cyclone a large bird flew, engulfed by a rainbow glow. It circled overhead, flying in and out of the clouds.
The man held the staff at Lugia and shot a ball of fire out but as it hit Lugia, it bounced off into the water creating a large splash.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled as he dived for the man. When he was closer his mouth opened and a beam shot out and hit the staff, shattering it into pieces. Immediately the 3 sphere in his hands broke open, and the three birds flew few, knocking the man onto his back. The three birds grouped around Lugia. In the light it looked as if it was a large rainbow ball, but then the birds opened their mouth, and all released blasts of energy which hit the man straight on, and creating a large crater where he was standing.
"He's gone..." Molly whispered. All 4 birds flew down and landed in front of up.
"Caaaaw!" They screamed, as if they were thanking us. I smiled and nodded to them, and they each turned and flew in their own direction, leaving bright trails of colors behind them. I turned to Molly but as I did I found myself back into the dark chamber. The Unown were back and swirling around again.
"Thank you. The land is returning to normal, thanks to you two, and for that you deserve a prize," I read slowly. The backs of our right hands glowed for a second then the light disappeared and an Unown symbol was left there, mine a K, hers a M. Then I looked up and continued to read, "These symbols are a sign of our appreciation. Just concentrate and at anytime you can call upon us and out power. Use it wisely, lest it be taken away." Then Molly began to read.
"These chambers will be renewed, and everyone but you two will forget what has happened here. It is the fate of the world you are protecting with this secret. Remember that."
Then the chambers faded out and I was back out in the site, and Molly was gone. Eevee jumped up and me and I held him in my arms tightly as he licked my face. I was back, better than before, and my quest would continue. I continued south, away from the ruins, and towards my next destination.

"These are the shores of Shimute Island." We looked around, if it weren't for the mountains sticking up in places, I would have thought we were on an iceberg. But standing in front of us was a large man in a long cloak holding three spheres and a staff.
"That's the staff," I whispered to Molly. The man heard me and turned around.
"Who are you!?" He demanded in a loud voice.
"Uhh..." Was the only thing that could come out of my mouth.
"I won't have anyone messing up my plan. Lugia WILL be mine! The last who tried to get him may have failed, but I won't make that mistake." He held up his staff and a beam of fire shot out of a large red gem near the middle. I wasn't ready so I just up my arms to block my eyes but as it neared my arms it his a glowing shield of energy, with the markings of the Unown on it.
"The power of the Unown! That would prove a much better prize for my work. You! Come with me and I won't hurt you." He offered to me. The proposal was what I wanted, not to be hurt, but I wouldn't go with someone like him.
"How about, you hand over that staff and we don't hurt you," called out Molly. She held her hand up and shot out a beam of dark energy, just like when she had been under control. But the man deflected it with a swing of the staff.
"This staff can stand up against any pokemon, including the Unown." He swung the staff and a blade of ice flew at Molly, she dived aside and the blade hit the ground. Upon hitting the ground it froze, creating icicles sticking straight up. "Now DIE!" He threw another blade of energy, this time of thunder, at me. I held up my hand and once again it hit the shield which disappeared right after the blade was deflected. "Let's try a different approach." This time a green gem lit up and the earth around us blasted up, enclosing us inside a small mountain.
"Ideas?" I asked Molly.
"Blast through," She responded as she lifted up her hand and shout out a blast of energy. It hit the dirt but made no marks. "Or not..."
"We will never get the staff like this! What did the Unown say about summoning the guardian of the sea?" I asked her.
"Say? They didn't exactly say it, more like write it. And the guardian of the sea protects this island, Lugia."
"Well, lets get him to help!"
"How do you propose we do that?" She asked dumbfounded.
"With our powers, watch." I grabbed her hand and focused on the mountain. I closed my hand and then as I opened them, the mountain split apart and we stepped out. The man was now standing near the sea.
"Come out Lugia..." The man said quietly.
"Let us help you," Molly said. "Now, let's get him to come out." We grabbed each other's hands and closed our eyes and focused on Lugia. Soon enough a cyclone appeared in the water. It spun at a great force, making all the nearby water spin in a spiral. Then out from the top of the cyclone a large bird flew, engulfed by a rainbow glow. It circled overhead, flying in and out of the clouds.
The man held the staff at Lugia and shot a ball of fire out but as it hit Lugia, it bounced off into the water creating a large splash.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled as he dived for the man. When he was closer his mouth opened and a beam shot out and hit the staff, shattering it into pieces. Immediately the 3 sphere in his hands broke open, and the three birds flew few, knocking the man onto his back. The three birds grouped around Lugia. In the light it looked as if it was a large rainbow ball, but then the birds opened their mouth, and all released blasts of energy which hit the man straight on, and creating a large crater where he was standing.
"He's gone..." Molly whispered. All 4 birds flew down and landed in front of up.
"Caaaaw!" They screamed, as if they were thanking us. I smiled and nodded to them, and they each turned and flew in their own direction, leaving bright trails of colors behind them. I turned to Molly but as I did I found myself back into the dark chamber. The Unown were back and swirling around again.
"Thank you. The land is returning to normal, thanks to you two, and for that you deserve a prize," I read slowly. The backs of our right hands glowed for a second then the light disappeared and an Unown symbol was left there, mine a K, hers a M. Then I looked up and continued to read, "These symbols are a sign of our appreciation. Just concentrate and at anytime you can call upon us and out power. Use it wisely, lest it be taken away." Then Molly began to read.
"These chambers will be renewed, and everyone but you two will forget what has happened here. It is the fate of the world you are protecting with this secret. Remember that."
Then the chambers faded out and I was back out in the site, and Molly was gone. Eevee jumped up and me and I held him in my arms tightly as he licked my face. I was back, better than before, and my quest would continue. I continued south, away from the ruins, and towards my next destination.
