Vokteren: As some of the readers may notice I changed the name of the
story. I think I've also changed the first chapters to make it right,
according to the new name.
Pikachu: If you've got any mistakes we've made then feel free to tell us in a review or an e-mail.
Vokteren: May you do the honor of the disclaimer?
Pikachu: Stop being so melodramatic, and no.
Vokteren: Why?
Pikachu: Because you've got two reviews.
Vokteren: Really? I was getting used to getting no reviews so I didn't think I got any for last chapter either.
Pikachu: They're from chapter one and two and the reviewer is thebossinschool.
Thebossinschool 1: Umm thanks. How did you know that I had birthday around that time. My true birthday is on the tenth of March.
Thebossinschool 2: Well, I'm writing a new chapter now and I'm happy that you like my story.
Pikachu: My turn. "We do not own Pokemon or Golden Sun. Rainbow, Shadow and Nightmare however are our own figments of imagination"

"That Rainbow girl sure was odd" Mia said as she saw Aqua Rock disappear in the horizon.
[Yeah. But at least she seemed kind when we spoke to her, but the test was not too kind] Torchic said.
"Test?" Mia said before something clicked and she understood. "Oh. I wonder what would've happened if we lost. Isaac and Garet failed their test but they don't want to tell me about what happened"
[I'm not surprised. Those tests were very personal, although I wonder how she knew about that.] Torchic said.
"What do you mean?" Mia asked the orange chicken.
[What? Uh nothing. I don't want to talk about it]
Mia smiled and nodded silently before turning her attention towards the setting sun and how the red/orange light played on the sea. Izumo had to be near because Rainbow said that they could still reach Jenna. She thought about the test she and Ivan had passed and wondered. How could Rainbow know about that? Unless... the urge of energy she had felt before the color pool became something solid had something with the matter.
"WHAT?" a voice from the lower decks shouted.
Mia and Torchic hurried towards Ivan's cabin. When they came down there Isaac, Pikachu, Skitty and Vaporeon had already arrived. Ivan came out of his cabin with a pale face and the map they used when they sailed the Eastern Sea. Instead of speaking he just opened his map, and now the others gasped. The distance between Aqua and Gaia rock was about 4 days sailing.
[How on earth does Rainbow think we can reach Izumo before Jenna and the others leave?] Vaporeon said.
[Something must've clicked when she lost to Mia, Garet and Ivan] Skitty said.
"Anyway, we can't let that stop us. I don't think Jenna would fight that dragon without a good reason so I don't think she'll leave before she wins" Isaac said.
[So you think she'll lose?] Pikachu said.
"I don't think that. I just feel that they may delay their journey a few days after they win" Mia said for him.
[At least there is nothing else we can do than sail as quick as we can to Izumo] Torchic said.
"Wrong" Ivan said as the others looked at him with wonder. "I and Pikachu could summon a wind that could get us there quicker, but that would probably drain us and we won't have any energy left to fight any monsters that we'll encounter"
"Then do it" Vaporeon said. "I'll keep the monsters away from the boat"
Pikachu was about to complain, but a well placed foot from Skitty stopped her. Pikachu gave an angry stare at her friend before agreeing to help. Ivan and Pikachu headed up to Garet who stood by the tiller and made a strong gust of wind that doubled their speed. Mia and Torchic headed towards the kitchen and started cooking dinner. Fruit soup for Pikachu, Torchic and Vaporeon and Fish soup for the others.
While they cooked they discussed about what could make Jenna get to Izumo so quick and eventually agreed that it had to be some kind of nature phenomena that gave them extra speed. Ivan and Pikachu could shorten their travel with about 1½ day, but no more. Mia sighed at the thought. ¤Felix is extremely lucky since he gets away so quickly. Why does he do it though? I wonder¤
[MIA, THE SOUP IS SMOKING]
Although they had a little accident, the dinner was good. Ivan/Isaac and Garet/Pikachu had to eat simultaneous since they had jobs to do. Ivan complimented Pikachu's increasing control over her psynergetic powers. Now she could make a whirlwind without focusing for a minute first. The other adepts were quite impressed. They had accomplished in a week what Isaac and Garet had to train three years for. Yes, it was strange, but at least they are helpful.
Two days and three nights later they finally reached Izumo. There were no other ships there, but at least they could learn a new psynergy from Gaia Rock, so they decided to rest here. When they entered the village of Izumo they saw people dancing and drums beating. It appears that they had stumbled into a festival of some sort.
"What do you think they are celebrating?" Garet asked the others.
[I've no idea] the pokemon replied.
"I've no idea either, but perhaps we can ask somebody" Ivan said.
"Good idea, but we better travel together. We may loose each other with all these people here, and some may think the Pokemon are monsters so we better hide them" Isaac said.
Garet opened his bag and hid Skitty and Vaporeon in it. Pikachu hid in Ivan's bag and Mia made room for Torchic in her bag. They made their way through the crowd and finally found the sanctuary. The sanctuary was strangely enough empty except for a girl playing with some dolls. There were four of them in total and they resembled someone I think you know.
"Hello" Isaac said to the girl. She looked up and saw a tall boy with golden hair and a sword sheathed behind his back. "Where did you get those dolls?"
"A nice girl with blonde hair made them to me and my sister when we asked for a memory about them" she replied.
"Why would you want to remember them?" Mia asked.
"You aren't from around here are you" she said. "Are you telling me that you don't know about the four heroes who defeated the serpent of Gaia Rock?"
"No" they answered. The girl looked at them for a second before saying that they should talk to Lady Uzume, the leader of Izumo. After getting the directions they walked towards Lady Uzume's house.
When they entered they where greeted by a mysterious young woman. "May I help you?"
"Yes" Isaac said. "We do have a few questions. First of all, why are Jenna and the others so known here?"
"Jenna?" Uzume closed her eyes and thought for a second. "Ah, yes. A young girl with brown hair and dark red clothes?"
"Yes, that is her" Isaac said happily.
"She and her companions slayed the Serpent inside Gaia Rock. He was cruel to our town, but thanks to the four warriors and Suza, the Serpent is put back to his sleep"
[Impressive] Pikachu said from inside the bag.
[Keep quiet. She'll hear you and we don't want to cause a ruckus] Skitty shouted to her.
[But now it was you who spoke] Torchic said.
[Let's just keep quiet] Vaporeon said.
"That is a little bit too late" Uzume said in a mature voice. "May I see who you are hiding in your bag?"
Garet tried to find an excuse, but as you may have guessed, he failed miserably. Mia just quietly opened her bag and let out Torchic. A little while later four small pokemon lay on the floor, blushing madly.
"Who are those creatures?" Uzume asked. "Are they Djinni?"
"You know about Djinni?" Isaac asked, shocked.
"Yes. Sheba explained it to me before she left"
"Oh. She is a smart girl. I hope we can reach them one day" Mia said.
"You are following them?"
"Yes, although we always appear moments to late" Garet said.
Uzume asked them to come by tomorrow. It was starting to get late and that was when the festival was really going to start. Isaac and his crew traveled to the Inn after having the conversation with Uzume. Garet and Ivan wanted to stay in the town for the festival and explore Gaia Rock tomorrow. The others, minus Isaac because he was neutral, wanted to go tonight. After a bit of arguing Isaac made a truce. They could go watch Gaia Rock tonight, perhaps exploring it a little, then go back and have fun at the festival.
The others agreed and 15 minutes later they stood outside Gaia Rock. The setting sun made the mountain shine with a golden glow. Now, even Ivan and Garet were happy that they had agreed to travel tonight. Skitty was the most eager as she ran into the mouth of the cave. Just like the other Rocks this place was lit up by psynergetic light. In front of them there were two big statues that looked like dragons and an altar of white stone.
(Meanwhile in the heart of Gaia Rock)
"Shadow" a boy with black hair and pitch black clothes shouted to his friend.
"Nightmare" the other boy replied. He looked pretty much the same except for Nightmare being taller and paler and Shadow wore a tiara made of white energy.
"Have they gotten here yet master?" Nightmare said.
"Stop calling me master. You are I don't know how much older than me and is much more experienced than me. And no they aren't here yet" Shadow replied.
"I can't violate the rules. You are my master. Period"
"At least you can do me the favor of not calling me master. At least not when we are having a friendly chat like this"
"Ok master. Sorry, Shadow"
"Ah well. I'm pretty excited to explore this place. Do you think we should visit someone before their last test?"
"You can do what you want. But why are you sure that this isn't the last test? Spirit and Rainbow have already activated their waypoints"
"I just have a feeling. Anyway, how was it with Rainbow?"
Nightmare got deep wrinkles across his face and almost cried when he told Shadow about what he had gone through. Shadow was shocked. Okay, Rainbow could sometimes be distractive and forget about others, although very rare, but this was horrible. He tried to comfort his friend.
"Poor you. That must've been horrible. At least you played your role well. I'll give you that"
"But I almost killed Ivan and Mia. I've never killed anyone and I won't ever do it unless ordered. I haven't been ordered to do that yet though. Thank whatever god it is in this world"
"Anyway I may need your help with my test"
"What am I going to do?"
Shadow leaned closer and whispered into Nightmare's ear. Nightmare opened his eyes wide "Are you serious?"
"Unfortunately yes"
"But that is cruel. And they are only children. How can you do that?"
"Perhaps you know how much it pains me to do it, but we have to. This is what they are most likely to encounter if they are the true ones and we need to check and prepare"
"Okay" Nightmare silently nodded before hearing steps. "Someone's coming"
"Quick, hide. You know what to do. I'll come after you"
Shadow and Nightmare barely had time to hide before a well known person with golden hair entered the room. "Okay, now we've done enough exploring for one night"
[Oh. Do we have to go? Can't we stay a little longer? Can we, can we, can we, can we?] Skitty acted like a little child. She even used the famous puppy eyes.
"Okay, okay. But only this room" Isaac replied
Skitty was about to reply, but was stopped by Pikachu. [Astounding]
Isaac and Skitty raised their eyes and saw a big dragon made out of stone. As if pulled by a magnet, they jumped down the cliff and headed to the massive statue.
"What is this?" Isaac asked the statue.
"It seems as though this is the Serpent of Gaia Rock" Mia said with awe in her voice.
"But why is there a statue of a dragon inside here? And where is the real one?" Ivan asked, not noticing a shadow that slowly crept closer to the youths.
[Perhaps this is the real dragon] Vaporeon suggested.
[Perhaps] Pikachu said. She suddenly got a feeling that something dangerous came closer. She turned around and saw a shadow slowly creeping closer to them. [Watch out]
The shadow started to lift itself from the floor before forming into Nightmare. Isaac and Garet couldn't recognize him because he changed his outer looks just enough to not look like when they first met. "I'm impressed. Most creatures doesn't notice me before it is too late" He melted back into a shadow and before they had any chance to act, he had enveloped them in shadows. He made the shadows melt into nothing before doing the same to himself.
Shadow came out from behind a barrel and sighed "I really hope we do the right thing. I shouldn't use these powers, and I wouldn't if it hadn't been for the fact that this may be necessary. I hope Nightmare doesn't cause any traumas on them" With those words he melted himself into a shadow and disappeared just like Nightmare had done before him.
