Chapter 2: The Meeting Place

I took the train to Vermillion City. The train cart I was in was empty except for me. But I got a feeling someone was watching me. They were in the shadows. They were just waiting and watching.

I was all alone. I was all alone in the world. But now that my brother is ok, I wasn't all alone. A shine of light had found me in my dark lonely road I was on.

"Attention all people," said the train driver, "We have arrived at Vermillion City. It's home to the Vermillion Gym Leader, LT. Surge and the Diglet Cave to the east. Please exit, watch your step, and have a nice day."

I finally arrived at the city. After a huge hurricane I heard about that struck the city a few weeks ago, I thought the city would be abandon. But now it's being repaired to its former glory.

I walked own the platform and down onto the street. There weren't many people out. I looked around the city. A whole bunch of buildings were now ruins of what happened to the city. The whole seemed dead expect for the people out and working on the buildings.

I walked the path down to the gym. It collapsed to the ground during the hurricane. But now it was being rebuilt. At first the city seemed beyond hope, but now it's getting better. I thought, if this city was beyond hope and it's getting better, maybe my life wasn't beyond hope in fixing it.

I walked down the path some more. I saw building that was almost done being fixed. It was called the Pokemon Fan Club. I smiled, the city was looking good, but the memory of the hurricane would live forever in people's minds.

I finally reached it. The city's dock system lay in front of me. But almost all the docks were destroyed. This made me lose some hope. How was I going to find my brother in this mess?

I walked down the docks. A bunch of them sank into the ocean, while some were being built. There was even a few one done being fixed. A bunch of ships parked next to the docks that were done, bring supplies to the town.

"Soon," I thought, "This town will be brought back to life. Soon, the town will be alive again. Soon, for most, the tragedy will be over."

I finally reached Dock 21. I was empty expect for a few ships that were park against the dock. I walked down them. My brother wasn't in sight. I hope he will be here soon.

"Hey!" shouted someone from behind me, "Stop!" I looked around me. The person was talking to me.

The person was 5ft 8in if I guessed right. He was blond and had a dark tan. He wore a white jacket and dark blue pants. He seemed very upset.

"I know who you are!" said the man. "Who I am?" I said. "Don't be dumb," said the man, "You're Lovrina of Cipher! I saw you on The Orre's Most Wanted Show!"

I hesitated, but I then said, "Do I look like her? Do I have long ponytail like her? Is my hair pink like her is?"

The man stopped, "No, She was green eyes you have blue. She was long ponytails, you have short hair. Her hair is pink. Your hair is blue. Never mind."

He walked and I smiled. Before I went to this town, I put in color contacts and I removed my pink hair dye from hair. I now couldn't be recognized! Let's hope my brother still knows who I am.

I sat down on a bench and waited for my brother. He wouldn't be wearing his Cipher uniform. He would be very easy to spot then. If I remembered right he had dark brown hair, red eyes, and short nose.

I waited for hours it seemed. But he didn't come. I hoped for him to come but he wasn't here.

What happened to him? Maybe the police caught him? Nah, they don't really know what he looks like under all the gear. Maybe it was a prank? No way, no one knows where I'm at. Maybe he forgot to come? He's me brother. He wouldn't forget. But he does and he comes later, he's dead.

Night time had fallen in the city. Only a few street light were on, because of the storm. No sign of him at all. I looked at my watch, it read 11:00 PM.

I decided to give up. I'll try tomorrow. Maybe he'll be there. I just hope he be here, but he wasn't. Then all of a sudden someone grabbed and I blacked out.

Darkness. In my dream I had, nothing but darkness laid in front of me. The dark seemed to shallow me up. I looked at my body. I began to disappear. Soon, I vanished.

Then I woke up. I looked around me. Nothing, but darkness. Then a light came on. I blinked a bit, then I looked around. I could barely make it out, but I could see my brother.

"Lovrina," said Naps, "Glad you came." I looked around me. I knew where I was. I was in The Under. "I thought…" I said. "The place was gone?" said Naps, "No it's not, it's a safe haven for all of us now."

I was confused. "Who's all of us?" I said. Naps smiled, "Well, everyone!" More lights flashed on. I took a look around me. All of the people I worked with, Snatte, Nascor, and more were here smiling.

Author Notice: That's right! Everyone is back! Expect to look into the dark underworld of Orre now!

For now on, I expected 3 reviews for each chapter. I updated every 3 review; it at least lets me know people read this story.

Also, if you didn't notice. Most people in my stories don't have the same personality has the game or TV series. I do that on purpose. I want everyone to see what the person is like beyond the series, which I enjoy doing!
