Darkness of the Unown: The Silver SagaEpisode 1:
Near Blackthorne City-
Silver stood unnaturally still on a cliff overlooking the small city below. He measured approximtely six feet and two inches tall, with a slight build that made his height very obvious. His pants, boots, sleeveless shirt and half-cloak were all black. His hair and eyes, however, were shining silver, befitting the name that the Unown gave him.
His eyes were locked onto the forest on the opposite side of the city. A huge dust plume rose above it, and numerous trees fell with great crashes every few seconds. Silver already knew the cause. A group of ten Tyranitar was charging towards the town.
Incapacitate all aggressors and remove them from the area. Simple enough.
Silver glanced one last time at the forest, and jumped off the edge of the cliff. He fell headfirst, his claok streaming behind him in the wind. Despite the vicious air clawing at his face, he did not close his eyes, and simply stared at the ground below. Finally, when he had almost reached the ground, he flipped his legs up behind him, turning himself over in midair and allowing himself to fall the rest of the way feet-first.
He hit the ground with tremendous force, punching a huge crater into the soft earth. Not fazed in the least, he jumped out and ran for the city. As he neared the outskirts, he leapt straight up onto the roof of a house. He continued his dash towards the rampaging Pokemon on the roofs of the city, leaping to another whenever one ran out. In his hands, he began forming two glowing spheres of energy. Below him, terrified citizens fled the city.
When the last roof of the city ran out, he leapt high into the air again, turning over and over in midair. He had timed his run so as to arrive at the field between the city and the forest at the same time as the Tyranitar. As expected, they crashed out into the open right as he jumped. They stopped for a moment upon seeing what appeared to be a human spraling high in the air.
Suddenly Silver stopped turning over and over, and released the energy spheres in his hands. They flew straight towards the Tyranitar, and hit two of them, sending them flying backwards with dents in their armor. The others stared blankly at their fallen comrades for a moment, then retaliated. They planted their forelegs into the earth, and opened their mouths toward Silver. There was a flash, and eight hissing red Hyper Beams burst from their mouths toward their enemy.
Silver smirked and stuck out both hands together in front of himself. The beams all bent and converged in his palms, flowing together into a single crimson orb. He clasped it with both hands, and drew them apart, pulling the energy into the shape of a rod. He twirled it around in his hands to test its balance, and dove down towards the Pokemon below
Silver struck the first Tyranitar on his way down, knocking it out immediately with the force of the downward blow.
Seven Tyranitar left.
Hetwirled the rod again and caught another Pokemon with a flurry of blows, knocking it out as well.
Six still standing.
Silver drove the rod into the ground, pulling it back and then allowing it to swing free, hitting another Tyranitar several times in the face, rendering it unconscious.
Five enemies remaining.
He swung the rod in a wide arc, knocking away the feet oftwo of the Tyranitar. He tossed the rod into the air, leaped up and turned sideways in midair, catching the rod between his legs and bringing it down onto the Tyranitars' midsections, putting them out of action in one blow.
Three to go.
Silver leapt to his feet, put one foot under the rod and flipped it back up into his hands.He swept the rod under one of the last few Tyranitar's feet, and before it fell, brought up the rod under its lower body, flipping it over so that it landed on its head. It fell unconscious.
2 more.
He stared down the last two for a moment before ramming the rod into the first one's chest, allowing the rod and all of the energy within it to melt into the Pokemon. For a split second it stood there, and thena huge cracking noise sounded,and it flew back into the one remaining Tyranitar, knocking out both of them.
All defeated.
Silver brushed off a bit of dust that had settled on his cloak. He extended a hand, and gripped all of the Tyranitar with telekinetic force, lifting them off the ground and transporting them back to their territory in the mountains.
Mission complete. Time: Fifteen minutes.
With the menace of the Tyranitar gone, the townsfolk were beginning to filter back into the city.
Time for me to take my leave...
Again, Silver extended a hand.
"Reality Shatter!"
A portion of air in front of him shattered inwards as if it were glass, creating an opening into a dark void. He stepped through it calmly, and it repaired itself after him.
He stood still in the darkness, until a humming sound signified the arrival of the Unown. They rose up around him in a huge, shifting cylinder.
((DISTURBANCE NULLIFIED))
"Yes," replied Silver simply
There was a moment of silence.
((DISTURBANCE DETECTED. LUGIA HAS LEFT HIS DESIGNATED TERRITORY. PUT HIM BACK))
Silver rolled his eyes. That bird was getting to be a nuisance.
"Understood," he said.
((GOOD. PROCEED))
The Unown fell back into the abyss. Silver shattered open another opening in the darkness, this time leading to the peak of a mountain north of Kanto. He stepped out just in time to see the silvery form of Lugia fly right past him. The airborne Legendary continued on for a short distance, and then wheeled around to face Silver.
So the Unown sent you, did they? he spoke telepathically.
Yes, Silver replied, and I have a message for you. Go back to where you belong.
You can tell the Unown that I have no interest in their words. I, unlike you, do not bow down to their every wish like a loyal little Arcanine!
You will do as you are told! Or I will have to force you. And remember, you owe me yet
A tense moment of silence ensued, with the two staring at each other's eyes. Finally, Lugia closed his eyes and turned around.
You speak the truth. I will go, for now. But now I no longer owe you anything. You would do well to remember that.
I forget nothing.
Really? But you seem to have forgotten a lot...
Without another word, Lugia flew away southwest for the Whirl Islands. Silver watched him go in silence.
Impertinant creature...
He opened another portal and returned to the Unown's void. As always, they rose up out of the dark around him.
((DISTURBANCE NULLIFIED. NO FURTHER DISTURBANCES CURRENTLY DETECTED. DO AS YOU WILL.))
"Thank you," said Silver with a slight bow. The Unown fell back.
After a moment's pondering, Silver opened a portal and stepped through it into a back alley of Goldenrod. He stepped out into the city and into his free time.
A/N: Whew...that took me a looooooong time to do. But it's done now. w00t! Now I just need to revise Episode 2, and I'll be ready to finally make a new chapter!
