~New Bark Town~

"Hey professor!" Nikki called, entering professor Elm's lab.

"Hello Nikki, this is Officer Oldfield. He's assigned to find the thief that stole the Pokémon." Said Elm

"Oh, professor, what Pokémon was stolen?" Nikki asked curiously.

"It was Chikorita."

"Hey! I saw the guy, who stole Chikorita, I battled him!"

"What? You did? What was his name?" Oldfield piped up.

"Erm...Ryu!" Nikki replied.

"Thanks, I'll put out an A.P.B! Goodnight." Oldfield said and left.

"Oh Nikki, what was Mr. Pokémon's discovery?"

"This." Nikki handed Professor Elm the egg.

"Is this a POKÉMON EGG!?!?" Elm shouted in shock, "If it is, it's a great discovery..." Nikki suddenly took out the Pokédex. "Is that a Pokédex?"

"Yeah, Professor Oak gave me it." She replied casually.

"Really? Professor Oak has a talent for spotting future Pokémon league champions...Maybe you should take the challenge! But first, I need you to do me a favour..." he pulled out what looked like a Pokéball in a glass case. The Pokéball was dark silver and looked like it was made out of metal, it had a strange inscription around it, and it glowed.

"Erm...Professor, are you sure it's safe?" she asked cautiously

"Yes, that's the reason for the glass case. I need you to take this to Cinawood City, there's an old man who stands outside the Burned Tower, give this to him; he's a protector..."

"A protector of what?"

"That's not important...Anyway, could you?"

"Of course!" Nikki took the ball and placed it in her backpack. "I'd better talk to my mom first; she isn't expecting me to be this late! BYE!" Nikki ran out.

~Nikki's house~

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Nikki shouted when she came in.

"What? Oh Nikki, did you finish Elm's quest?"

"Yeah, but I've gotta go to Cinawood now, and Professor Oak gave me a Pokédex so I'm going to try to become a Pokémon master!"

"Really? Well I should be able to do something for you; do you want me to keep some money for you? You know it's good to have backup money in case you run out."

"Yeah, mom, that would be great! Mom I need to get some stuff from my room then I'll be gone."

"Ok petal."

Nikki bound up the stairs into her room and opened a jewellery box. Inside were watches, earrings, and a button. She pressed the button and a small compartment opened up. In the compartment was a necklace, it was a silver chain necklace and on the chain was a black Pokéball with an inscription on. The inscription read like this:

THE LEGEND: When the heir of the dark trainer finds the Pokéball and amulet the power of the dark items will bring forth the legend that shall throw the world into ultimate darkness.

Nikki had never read this inscription and thought nothing of it. She placed the necklace around her neck.

"Y'know Sapph, I don't really see what's so bad about this Pokéball, but anyway we'd better go." Nikki ran to the stairs, jumped on the rail and slid down, holding Sapphire in one arm.

"NIKKI!" Nikki's mom screamed.

"Gotta blaze mom!" Nikki kissed her mom on the cheek and ran out.

~Professor Elm's lab~

"Hey professor, do you have a Pokémon with the fly move that I could use? I heard that the Violet City shortcut's been cut off by a tree." Nikki called, looking for Elm.

"Yeah, but make sure it comes back!"

"I will!"

Professor Elm threw Nikki a Pokéball and said: "It's a Fearow, Level 43, be careful."

"Why did someone leave such a powerful Pokémon here?" She asked Elm

"It had an injury and there was no Pokémon Centre's nearby when they were travelling so they sent it here over a video-phone."

"Oh right. Well C'ya!" Nikki left the lab and went outside. "Ok, GO FEAROW!"

A large Fearow flew out of the Pokéball and cawed loudly. It settled on the floor. Nikki climbed onto its back. The Fearow was surprisingly docile.

"SAPPHIRE, RETURN!" Nikki yelled throwing a Pokéball at Sapphire. "C'mon Fearow, use Fly!"

The Fearow started to flap its wings and rose into the sky.

~Cinawood City~

"Thanks Fearow...return." Nikki put Fearow back in its Pokéball and walked through to the main part of Cinawood. "Hmm...I wonder what this Pokéball is..." Nikki thought out loud taking it out of her backpack. She noticed a latch on the glass and unhooked it. The glass' top fell off and shattered. "Erm...oops..." Nikki muttered turning bright red. "I better take off the other half or the man will know that I broke it." She pulled the Pokéball out of the glass and dropped the glass on the floor. Suddenly the Pokéball started to glow, as did the amulet. A ball of black light suddenly engulfed Nikki.
