7/1/07: Story officially on hiatus. Check my profile for updates when I will continue!
This is the sequel to "The Legend of The Elite Four" that is about the three Regis: Regice, Registeel, and Regirock. In order to have a better understanding of the first few chapters, I would recommend you to read "The Legend of The Elite Four." I thought it might be a nice Christmas present to my readers!
Note: I was informed that Steven's last name is Stone in the Sapphire/Ruby games. Since I got a Gameboy Advance SP for Christmas this morning(Yay!), I was able to play it and check it out. But for the sake of this story we can think of Greenwall as Steven's real last name and Stone as his "penname" last name. Thanks!
"The Legend of the Three Regis"
Chapter 1: "Birthday Girl"
Harmony awoke to the morning sun. She glanced over at the golden plaque she had hung on her wall the night before. Proof of my victory at the Pokemon League. She smiled and changed her clothes.
"Harmony! You have visitors!" Max called to her big sister. As she went down the stairs, she heard Max say to another person, probably her visitors, "I caught a Blaziken. See?"
She then heard Steven chuckle, "No, that's definitely Harmony's Blaziken, Max."
Steven? Harmony wondered curiously. She went back up to her room and grabbed the empty Pokeball.
"Return, Blaziken!" Harmony called halfway down the stairs. "You know, Max, you shouldn't steal my Pokemon, especially Blaziken, even if it is for play."
"You're awake, Harmony! It's about time!" Max said.
Harmony stood beside Max, "Can't I get any sleep? After all that battling, I'm tired. I did go to bed late last night."
"Because of Zac, right? I heard you two talking last night around midnight? What were you two doing? Making out?"
She didn't slap him. She didn't yell. She just smiled slightly, "For your information, Max, we talked. I mainly told him how I got through Victory Road and the Pokemon League. He wanted to know every detail. Speaking of which, why are you here, Steven?"
"We're here, too, Harmony." Glacia said behind Steven. Sidney, Pheobe and Drake soon emerged beside her. "When Drake told us what happened, we couldn't resist coming."
"When what happened?"
"When you and Zac sat by the sunset last night, of course." Drake answered.
Harmony blushed slightly, "That was supposed to be a private moment!"
Max spoke up, "It isn't very private when it's few feet from the doorway."
"Oh, I suppose you took a picture of it?" She said a little sarcastically.
"Yes, actually." Steven got a photo from his pocket. It had Harmony and Zac sharing their first kiss.
"Give it here!" Harmony snatched the photo from Steven.
"That would be a weird relationship. Your daughter-in-law being a stronger trainer than yourself."
"Yeah..." Harmony nodded, then realized what he said, "Wait a second! Who said Zac and I were going to get married?!?"
Everyone laughed.
"Do any of you want a drink?" Max asked and led them to the kitchen.
Suddenly, the lights were switched on and there were shouts of "Happy Birthday, Harmony!"
"Mom! Dad!" Harmony jumped.
Steven put his hand on her shoulder, "When Drake told us today was your birthday, we had to come."
Harmony looked around. There was a red and white Pokeball shaped cake on the table with the words, "Happy 16th Birthday, Harmony!" written across the top with black icing.
An hour had passed and they had taken that time to eat and talk. Now was time for the presents. Norman and Caroline had gotten her a watch with a picture of a Mudkip on it. Max gave her a "Tips on Training Pokemon" book. She received a picture of the whole Elite Four, Steven included, with their Pokemon from Sidney. "Couldn't think of anything." He had said. Pheobe gave her a "Powers of Darkness" book. She got an icicle keychain from Glacia and a new Pokenav from Drake.
She didn't expect to get what she did from Steven. It was a small piece of paper that simply said, "I am worthy of being called a Pokemon trainer."
Steven smiled,"You never answered that question, so I want you to keep that paper with you at all times."
"I forgot about that. Anon showed up before you had a chance to answer." Drake said.
"What's all this about?" Norman asked Harmony. "How could you not be worthy to be called a Pokemon trainer? I mean, you're so strong, you wouldn't ever fail your Pokemon journey."
Harmomy's eyes widened, "No... and if I did, I wouldn't come back home."
"Why no- The Nightmare Realm." Norman thought suddenly.
"It's OK, Harmony." Glacia said as she layed her hand on Harmony's shoulder, "It was just a nightmare. I couldn't tell you the aftereffects since you're the first to survive, but I could see it in your eyes. I had to look through the happiness, of course. I mean, who wouldn't be happy for your kind of fantasy at the end?"
"At the time, I didn't know what to think, Glacia." Harmony replied. "I just knew that one minute I was battling Pheobe's Dusclops and the next I was... in Zac's arms."
"Oh, that reminds me." Pheobe said as she got a crystal Pokeball from her pocket, "This is for you."
Harmony caught the Pokeball as Pheobe tossed it to her, "The Miracle Ball... but Pheobe, why? You said-"
"It was the only one? It is, but you might need it on your next journey."
"Thank you. I owe you for saving Blaziken. We also never finished our battle."
"Harmony, I told you already. You still had Blaziken and Kyogre left. I only had Dusclops."
"But anything could have happened."
"Like the Fire Blast and Dusclops' energy colliding?"
"Yeah..." Harmony stepped back and her hand touched a small box. There was another one beside it. It was then that she realized that she never opened Matt and Zac's presents.
She opened Zac's first. Inside was a small piece of rock along with a note.
Harmony,
Remember how we met? This is a rock from the Cave of Origins in Sootopolis City. I thought you might want a keepsake. Happy Birthday!
-Zac Greenwall
Next was Matt's. The box contained the white half of a Pokeball. It was also accompanied with a note.
Harmony,
I'm still sorry about the Girafirig thing. Alright, never mind that.
As you may have noticed, I left your house before you woke up. I left your present on the table, obviously, as you have found it by now.
The Pokeball represents our friendship. I have the other half. These two halves can only be connected with each other. No other Pokeball can fit. We will always find each other as long as these two halves are separated. Always.
Your friend, Matt Philips
PS: Happy Birthday!
Harmony put the note down and held the Pokeball half, "Thank you, Matt. Thank you."
I have no idea when the next chapter will be out. I may play around with Sapphire until I knowmore about the Regis because I want the next chapter to be about Harmony and Zac being told about the 3 Regis. Keep a look out for the next chapter!
Oh, and if Harmony's gifts seems non-important now, they will be in the future.
