Part 5! Brilliant! We find out what's going on, and, uh, there's no shipping in this chapter, so if you scrolled here to read that, then, sorry. And, on with the show.

Part 5: Nightmare Come True

The first thing Jordan saw when he woke up was a concrete ceiling. He got up, only to realise there was a stabbing pain in his arm. He instinctively grabbed his elbow. Jordan then went to get Eve and Treeky's Pokeballs, but found they were missing.

"Oh, brilliant," he said to himself.

"Jordan? Are you awake?" May called.

He turned around- May was there, obviously trying to escape.

"Yah," he said, scratching his head in confusion. "Uh… where are we?"

"I'm trying to find out. You know, you've been out cold for about three hours." she said quietly, continuing to try and move the brick.

"Please tell me you're one of those martial artists that can break bricks with their heads." Jordan asked, a feeling of dread creeping over him.

May shrugged. "Sorry, I'm not." she said quietly, grimacing.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Gary darted behind a building, and into a door, making sure to close the door behind him. He jumped into a model boat, making a mental note not to return to Slateport unless it was absolutely necessary.

He looked around from the boat, examining his surroundings. He appeared to be in some kind of port. Light glistened off the water, and he continued to stare into the water- until the door opened, and Gary ducked down in the boat. He expected to see the mob of girls walk in, but instead was surprised to see a mysterious man in black and red robes, accompanied by a person dressed in similar clothing. Both of them had a symbol that resembled a volcano on their clothes. Team Magma, Gary thought.

"Michael, I am most displeased," said a deep voice.

Michael tried to reply.

"Uncle M-Maxie, I a-assisted in the c-capture of Giovanni's kid, right?"

Gary swallowed. These psychopaths had kidnapped Jordan?

Maxie did not seem pleased.

"If I remember correctly, that was Jane Kirk."

Michael tried to regain some of his resolve, but he was shaking. "I ordered her to do it."

Maxie laughed a laugh that sent shivers down Gary's spine. "I fail to see your point. Enlighten me."

"He did manage to beat Giovanni, though. You remember what happened last time a kid interfered with a rival team then with us, right?"

Maxie moved quickly- he grabbed the front of his nephew's shirt, and threw him to the ground.

"If you dare defy me again, nephew," he growled, leaning closely to his nephew's face until their noses touched, "you'll live to regret it."

Suddenly, as if on queue, a Gyarados burst out of the water, and fired a precise Waterfall attack at the Magma leader, knocking him over.

Maxie spluttered, spitting some water out of his mouth.

"Curse that Gyarados!" Maxie exclaimed, leaping up. "Aqua has set me up!"

His nephew stood up.

"Can I leave now, uncle?" he asked sheepishly.

Maxie did not seem to hear him.

"I have an idea. Possibly, if I obtain Rayquaza… I can control Groudon and Kyogre."

"Don't mind my asking, uncle, but why do you want Kyogre?"

"I don't want that accursed aquatic animal. I just want to keep it away from Archie."

Gary's eyes widened. Is he insane? he thought.

"We will get to work immediately. I'll try calling that team that are going to try and block Aqua. Maybe we can set up some kind of insertion team."

Gary saw Maxie pull out a phone before leaving, followed by his slightly confused nephew.

The door shut with an eerie echo, and Gary felt alone, knowing that he had to rescue his friend no matter what.

"This is useless," May panted, collapsing against the wall, her fingers bleeding from trying to remove the brick.

Jordan couldn't help but nod in agreement, sitting down next to May.

"Why do you think we were kidnapped?" May asked.

Jordan shrugged, wiping his forehead. "Maybe it was because of a few weeks ago. Maybe we were kidnapped by my dad."

She looked at him, confused.

"Your dad? Why, who's he?" she asked.

Jordan sighed. "Giovanni."

May looked at him, mildly surprised.

"I didn't know Giovanni had a kid," she said quietly.

"You're not all shocked?" Jordan exclaimed.

She shrugged mutely.

"No, I guess not," she mumbled. "I remember… after I got heaps of Pokémon Contest Ribbons, I came back to Petalburg, and everyone treated me like I was some kind of poison. My father's Norman, the Hoenn Gym Leader, and everyone expected me to follow in my dad's footsteps. Then, Pokémon Contests were disbanded, and… I felt pressured to become a Trainer. I didn't really want to, but… I kinda had no choice."

When she finished, Jordan was looking intently at her.

"You did have a choice," he said firmly. "Just go with your heart. Never let anyone else influence you. So what if they don't think you'll follow in your dad's footsteps? You could even become famous in your own right."

May looked back at him defiantly. "You know, you're right. I've got to follow what I believe in."

Jordan nodded. "That's great, May! But, maybe we have to get out of here first."

Suddenly, there was a heavy thumping sound that was growing steadily, slightly spooking the duo. They leapt up immediately, ready to fight off any oncoming danger- but it was only a Machop.

"Oh, it's just a stupid Machop," May yawned, sitting back down.

Jordan looked at the Machop mutely, trying to concentrate all of his energy, despite the fact his mind was filled with more troubling issues.

"Look at that moronic human," the Machop laughed.

"Who are you calling moronic?" Jordan replied slyly, to which the Machop jumped as if it was on a hot plate.

"Y-you talk?" Machop replied, shocked.

Jordan grinned. The little humanoid was petrified.

"I can do much worse," Jordan hissed. "Let me out, and I'll leave you alone."

"Jordan, what are you doing?" May asked, as if fearful for his sanity.

"Just wait," Jordan told her impatiently.

The Machop nervously opened the cell door, and Jordan grinned.

May gaped.

"Remind me to ask you how you did that." she mumbled in awe, as they ran out of the cell, and down a narrow passageway.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Gary quickly rolled a Pokeball across the ground, his heart beating quickly. He was still in the same crouching position, still situated in the boat.

"Go, Dodrio," he whispered, and Dodrio came out of the Pokeball, squawking loudly.

Gary swore, running over to Dodrio and trying to calm the triple-headed bird down.

"Dodrio, Fly." Gary muttered, but Dodrio refused to listen.

The trainer hit himself on the head. Duh, he thought, I'm inside. Of course Dodrio can't fly.

"Let's slip outside, Dodrio, but make sure those girls don't find us," Gary ordered, guiding his Pokémon gently out of the door.

"There he is!" cried a high-pitched voice.

A chill went down Gary's spine, and an elderly lady laughed slightly. The girls were coming closer.

"Dodrio, Fly!" Gary yelled.

However, Dodrio was still getting ready to fly, and the girls were coming even closer than before, running and screaming. Gary swore.

The old lady stopped laughing.

Suddenly, Dodrio spread out its wings, and Gary jumped on, as the bird's wings beat on either side of him, he pretended to wave goodbye to the girls, and flew to the east, and towards a tall pillar- the Sky Pillar.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Rayquaza roared loudly, awaking from a several thousand year slumber. Peace had been disturbed within Hoenn, and he wasn't happy. Humans had infiltrated the Sky Pillar.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Several small pebbles were shook from the ceiling, raining down upon the two running trainers.

"What on earth is going on?" May asked, as a small pebble hit her on the head.

"If I knew, I'd tell you. But, I don't know, so I can't really tell- ow!" Jordan swore as a rock fell on his head.

May laughed.

"Serves you ri- ouch!"

Jordan began to laugh, as May was hit by an even bigger rock, but stopped as soon as he remembered what had happened to May.

"Oi! Get back into your cells!"

May and Jordan wheeled around- a mysterious man in a uniform similar to Team Magma's. Suddenly, Jordan's head began to thump painfully- a weird, reptilian voice was saying something. He clutched his head, and the world began to spin. He could just hear May's concerned voice, and the laughter of the Rocket grunt, as the world went black…

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Jordan looked up lazily through a hole in the roof- the sky was a troubling grey colour.

"The end of my peace is close at hand," he said, in the same reptilian voice he had heard earlier.

He was immediately shocked: first of all, that wasn't his voice; second of all, he hadn't actually said anything.

"Kyogre and Groudon will be free to wreak havoc over the world." Jordan mumbled gravely, examining the room around him- several strange symbols were around him.

He moved his green tail, and flew over to the markings.

"Space will fall,

But time will stay.

Heroes stand tall,

A legend, they say. That hero carries our only hope." Jordan confirmed grimly.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The world began to swirl again, and a corridor came into view- however, it was blurry, and Jordan was suddenly next to May again.

"Jordan?" May asked tentatively, sounding rather frightened.

He faintly heard the thumping sound of the Magma grunt running, but suddenly felt feverish. He threw up all over the ground, feeling weak.

"I'll get some-" May suddenly paused, realising that they were all alone.

"Kyogre… Groudon… havoc… plot…" Jordan croaked, his arms and legs shaking unsteadily.

"We need to get you out of here," May said firmly, putting his arm around her neck and helping him up.

She looked at him suspiciously. "If you throw up on me, I'll kill you," she threatened him.

Jordan laughed quietly.
