In this chapter, I try looking into the enigma Pokemon called Unknown. Let me assure everyone that while this chapter may seem like useless filler, it will pay off later on.
A bunch of various Unknown are shown against a starry background as a narration message says "Many Pokemon have plagued mankind throughout history, but none so great as the Unknown." We now see the inside of a temple. "When it was first discovered, the ancient people thought it was a form of writing by an extinct tribe that build temples before them, but soon became very shocked when the writing came to life before them." Now we're being shown English men wearing suits opening a book in front of what appears to be a Shogun. "And when European explorers first came to this land, the people were even more surprised to see that their written language looked just like the Unknown." The picture being shown now is of Utsugi-hakase holding an Unknown shaped like the letter H. "In the present day, Unknown are still a huge topic of interest among Pokemon researchers. However...." A random trainer is now shown, shocked as his Unknown-Y lies on the ground with an x in its eye before him, and across from the trainer and his KOed Unknown, we see a Ponyta next to another random trainer. "...Unknown are considered very weak in the eyes of battling trainers. Their stats are low and they only have one attack which can be completely random." We now see a wealthy looking man in a fancy robe standing in front of a glass case full of Monster Balls. "Very few people bother capturing them, and even most of the few that do are only doing it because they're interested in Pokemon collecting." For the last picture, we see a long-haired man with his back turned and mostly shrouded in the shadow as his hair blows in the wind behind him. "To find a person who actually shows interest in training Unknown for battling is very rare, however, Kimono Hiro and his Ibui are both destined to meet one.... in the very near future." The title page now appears
CHAPTER 6: THE UNKNOWN TRAINER
We see a view of the sun setting by an area with many various temples. A narration box notes this area as being "Alph no Iseki". Hiro and Ibui are seen walking a clear path between many of the temples, making alot of turns, when suddenly, they come to a deadend blocked by a giant pillar sticking out of the rubble of a collapsed temple right by the road. Hiro's looking at a map of Jouto on the screen of his Pokegear. Hiro stops and grabs his head in frustration.
"Dammit! Why couldn't this Pokegear do something more useful, like have close-view maps of particular areas? It's hopeless, we're completely lost in this maze of temples."
Ibui looks up at him sadly as Hiro looks over towards the setting Sun. "Come on Ibui. It's getting late, so we might as well find some place to sleep for the night." Hiro and Ibui take shelter under the roof of one of the temples. Hiro unloads a futon from his pack and falls asleep on it, with Ibui curling up and sleeping next to his pillow. The next morning, as the sun rises, a Douburu, with its paintbrush tail trailing across the floor, comes wandering over to the sleeping pair. It just ignores that they're there as it steps on Hiro's stomach, waking him up, and then brushing across his face as well as Ibui. Ibui's woken up after being smothered by the paint. Hiro and Ibui take a moment to figure out what's going on, and then they both start chasing after the Douburu.
"Hey, I won't forgive you for this you bastard!" Douburu freaks out and running fast.
"Ibui, use Kamitsuku!" Ibui lunges forward and bites Douburu on the back. Douburu lets out a loud scream as it jumps away. It then picks up its tail brush, and starts painting something in mid-air. He paints of a pair of jaws which snap at Ibui and then melt back into paint, smearing Ibui more than it already was.
"What? Was it copying Ibui's attack." Douburu paints up another pair of jaws, but Ibui dodges, causing the paint jaws to just splatter onto the ground. Douburu then begins running again, so Hiro and Ibui begin chase again. The Douburu turns a corner, and before Hiro and Ibui can turn the corner after it, an Unknown-K floats down in front of them, startling the two and causing them to fall backwards onto the ground. Hiro looks up at it for a moment and takes out his Pokemon Zukan.
