Vokteren: Is everything ready Pikachu?
Pikachu: Let's see: Clean your room, check. Make dinner, check. Write story, not check.
Vokteren: That is what we are going to do now, silly.
Pikachu: I'm not silly.
Vokteren: I know. Should we start the story?
Pikachu: Sure. I'll do the disclaimer now since you haven't gotten any reviews. "We don't own Golden Sun or Pokemon, but we do own the mysterious boy in this story"
Vokteren: Let's start the story.
"Verbal communication" ¤in mind¤ [thought transference] (A/N: Author Note) (P/N: Pika Note)
When the light dimmed Garet could see that he was on a road made of white bricks. This road floated high in the air over a plane covered with green grass. The sun shone on them from right above and there wasn't a cloud on the sky. The other adepts were already awake and admired the beautiful sight.
"Where do you think we are?" Mia asked Isaac.
"I don't know but wherever it is I don't think it is real" he replied
"I agree" said Garet. "This place is to beautiful to be made naturally"
[It doesn't matter where we are now, what that matter is that we start moving] Torchic said in a worried voice.
[Why?] Skitty asked.
Torchic didn't need to reply because now the others saw it too. The road was collapsing behind them. They turned around and ran as fast as they could. It seemed as if they were able to outrun the collapsing road when suddenly Ivan fell on the ground, holding his hands on his head.
"My mind" he shouted.
"What is it? Ahhh" Isaac collapsed on the ground too.
"Some...thing...is...attacking...my...mind" Isaac managed to say
"Quick Garet" Mia shouted. "We must carry them and run"
Garet picked up Isaac and Mia did her best to carry Ivan. Pikachu came running back and told them that there seemed to be a strange stone circle not to far away but that they had to hurry if they were to get to it before the collapsing ground. She told them that what had attacked Ivan and Isaac had tried to attack her to, but she was able to resist it.
Mia and Garet ran as quick as they could while carrying a person. They could see the stone circle when the collapsing road suddenly stopped. Instead what had attacked Ivan and Isaac now tried to take them all down. It seemed as if it was one being that made the road collapse and attacked their mind.
Almost everyone fell for the mind attack but they got back quickly when they realized that the pain was in their mind and not from the outside. Skitty was the first to get back to reality and she saw that the sky was different. Thick clouds came in from all directions and they were sparkling with electricity.
Eevee was the next to wake up and together they dragged Ivan closer to the stone circle. Mia and Torchic woke up next and started pulling Isaac into the circle. Finally Pikachu and Garet came back to their senses and struggled to the stone circle. When they were two meters from the circle the road began collapsing again.
Pikachu and Garet tried to get to the stone circle but to no avail. They were right by the edge when the ground under them disappeared. Garet was able to grab the ledge and Pikachu clung to Garet's foot. Mia and Eevee rushed and tried to pull them up. They managed to do so by a tiny margin.
When Garet had gotten over the shock he headed over to Ivan and Isaac. They were still in pain but it seemed weaker now. Mia placed her hand on Ivan's head and glowed slightly blue. A ply fairy appeared and sprinkled some healing power on Ivan, making him awake with a start.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I'm not sure but it appears as if someone or something attacked your mind" Garet said. Mia had gone to see if she could do something with Isaac.
"I remember now" Ivan said. "I also remember a voice in my head, but I'm not sure what it said"
"It's okay Ivan. What that matters is that you are alright" said Mia. She had given up trying to awaken Isaac.
[I'm not sure if everything is okay] said Eevee. [The storm clouds are getting closer and I don't like that rumbling sound]
Eevee was right. There was a rumbling sound and now the ground shock as if someone used Quake Sphere. Isaac had awoken but it couldn't be him because he was barely able to stand on his feet. Suddenly the ground disappeared into nothing and they fell down towards the grass covered ground below them.
However, before they got so far a hole appeared on the grass ground and a white slide materialized below them. They all landed on the top of the slide with a big dump and started slide down into the hole. On the other side of the hole there waited a spectacular sight. They saw everything they had experienced earlier in their life fly past them as small flashbacks.
When the ride was finished a new hole opened and they landed on an arena made of rock. There were no walls around the arena, only the same substance they had seen in the room with the slate in. There came a bright flash, and the boy they had seen in the room with the stone slate appeared before them.
"You have done a great job getting so far, let's see how much further you get" the boy said.
"You think we are afraid of you?" Garet said.
"No" was the answer.
¤How could this boy think he could fight them alone?¤ Isaac thought
"Just wait and see Isaac" The boy said.
"How?" Isaac said.
The boy ignored what Isaac said and closed his two brown hands, leaving a hole that was about the size of his thumb. A purple light shot out of his hands and the light shaped itself into something that looked like a long stick. When the light dimmed they could see that he indeed held a staff.
"You think that a puny little stick will help you against our swords?" Garet said insultingly.
"Yes" again he answered short and constant.
This made Garet angry. How could a stick help him against something as strong as steel? He dashed towards the boy to strike him. The boy saw him coming and just stood there, waiting. Right when Garet was about to strike he tossed his staff into the air, opened his hands, ducked under the blow from Garet, grabbed his arm and tossed him so he spun around and landed on his back.
The others were shocked. How could a boy younger than Ivan toss Garet so easily? That boy was extremely skilled. Isaac was the next who tried. Instead of dashing wildly at him he approached slowly, waiting for the boy to make his move. The boy just stood there and followed Isaac with his eyes.
Finally Isaac tried to strike the boy. He lifted his sword so he could do a vertical strike on the boys shoulder. If he hit, the boy would be unable to use his right arm and that would give him the advantage. However this did not happen. Right before Isaac hit the boy grabbed his sword on a sharp edge, twisted it out of his hands and tossed it away.
Isaac was awestruck by what he saw so he left himself open for attack. He shouldn't have done that. The boy grabbed him in the arm and slid into his feet, making him take a 360 degrees before he landed face down on the floor.
Garet had gotten back on his feet and approached the boy from behind, but the boy just turned around right before Garet tried to punch him from behind, ducked, and grabbed him before jumping up, spinning around and releasing Garet with a kick in the stomach.
In the meanwhile the others had found out that it was no use trying to attack him up close, so they had to turn it around. If they continued to fight on his premises they would surely loose. They had found out a great method of attacking and now they went through it again.
"Okay, everyone is clear on what they are going to do?" Mia asked.
"Yes" Ivan confirmed. "You summon Nereid and Pikachu use her electric power to power up your attack, me and Eevee distract him and Torchic and Skitty use any possible psynergy they have"
[Let's hurry] Pikachu said. [If we wait much longer he will be finished with Garet and Isaac and then we will be two shorter]
They all agreed to what Pikachu said and began what they had planned. Eevee used Rollout, but the boy just jumped away from the rolling fox, unfortunately he jumped right into Ivan's Spark Plasma. The blue and white sparks sent him flying backwards closer to the edge.
Mia unleashed Fizz and Sprits on Isaac and Garet so they became better. Then she used the power of the two Djinn and summoned Nereid on the boy while Pikachu used thunder to make Nereid's water electric. This knocked him further towards the edge, leaving him soaking wet and covered with scorch marks.
Finally Torchic and Skitty unleashed Ragnarok and Heat Wave on him. The force of the combined impact knocked him of the edge. They heard a splash when he hit the matter that this arena floated over.
"Did we beat him?" Garet said.
"I think so" said Isaac while drawing his sword of the ground. "I still can't believe what that boy did. I haven't seen anyone being able to do something like it. I hit him with full force in his hand and it didn't even change color. Even the Fusion Dragon got a wound after a cut from my sword"
"I can't tell why but he was unquestionably odd" Mia said.
Suddenly the boy appeared over the edge again but this time he didn't look like battling.
"I acknowledge your strength" He said in a mature voice. "You can learn the secrets of Air's Rock now"
After that there was a bright flash and they were back in the room with the stone slate.
"Should we touch the rock now Isaac?" Ivan asked
"What does it say on the rock?"
[Wielder of winds might, something about touching the stone and something about seeing the truth] Pikachu said.
"That sounds just like Reveal" Ivan said disappointed. "It seems that we have climbed Air's Rock for nothing"
[Wrong Ivan] Pikachu said. [I can't use Reveal so then why can't I learn it before we leave?]
"I see no reason why not" Isaac said. "Go on and touch the rock"
Pikachu touched the rock and the light around them dimmed. Small orbs of light appeared from the stone slate as Pikachu and the slate started floating in the air. The light orbs circled into Pikachu. There was a bright flash and then it was over. Pikachu had learned Reveal. Isaac casted Retreat twice so they got out of there quickly and they started to head back to Madra. Ten minutes after they had left Air's Rock a group of four people came to Air's Rock. The group consisted of a red haired girl, a boy with black hair in a ponytail, a young girl who bore a resemblance to Ivan and an old man whit grey hair.
Vokteren: Finally this chapter is finished.
Pikachu: You've used ten chapters just to tell a story between Mikasalla and Air's Rock. I have a feeling this story won't quit for a long time.
Vokteren: Maybe, maybe not. At least I'm finished with Air's Rock now.
Pikachu: Read and Review unless you want this story's quality to drop.
Pikachu: Let's see: Clean your room, check. Make dinner, check. Write story, not check.
Vokteren: That is what we are going to do now, silly.
Pikachu: I'm not silly.
