Chapter 2

(A/N)

Hello, and welcome back for chapter 2. This chapter I hope will clear up some of the confusion on the first chapter. To answer SilentXD7's question, this story will be more based on the game, however the player will be less involved. To answer Axccel's question, he didn't kill Garchomp because it was a good guy or at least who he thought was the good guy, but don't worry he has NO mercy for criminals. So, without further ado.

I arrive at the hunter's dream only to be greeted by the workshop in one piece, however, Doll wasn't in her usual spot on the flower bed. I slowly walk around the dream until I arrive at the workshop only to see an empty wheelchair. My mind fills with thoughts of Gehrman and all he has done for the hunters. I open my storage chest and restock on bullets, blood-vials, elemental paper, and grab the Cannon and put it in my secondary right slot. Satisfied, I walk out of the workshop only to notice the gate to the great tree was open. Deciding to investigate, I walk along the path until I reach the great tree. In front of the great tree, I saw a pristine grave stone and Doll praying over the tombstone. At closer in section I notice the grave is labeled, "Gehrman, the first hunter". I step forward making a slight shifting noise. The Doll looks backwards and stares at me.

"Oh, Good hunter, you have returned, I was worried when you disappeared," Doll said turning and standing only a few feet from me, her hands still in a praying position.

"I'm sorry if I worried you Doll, I don't know what happened myself. The last thing I remember was defeating the moon presence and then waking up in the distortion world," I said, scared at my own amnesia.

"Distortion world? If you don't mind my inquiry, what happened to you Good hunter," asked the Doll visibly showing signs of worry.

"That will take time to explain," I said with a sigh.

(Time skip)

After explaining what happened to Doll, I could visibly see that she was worried.

"This is quite… unsettling, Good hunter. This "Pokémon" named Giratina you mentioned, if they do have powers similar to great ones they could be threats," said Doll.

"That is what I thought at first; yet these humans have a civilized society, so the legendaries don't seem to intervene with the humans too often," I theories.

"Putting that aside, have you seen or smelled any great one blood in this new land," asked Doll.

"No, only what I brought with me, so it seems these Pokémon aren't related to the beast scourge," I state.

"I see, so I assume you intend to go back using the new tombstone," asked Doll.

"Yes, however before I go, I need to know what happened to me after I blacked out," I said.

Doll looked at me for a moment thinking. She started to open her mouth, but hesitated, and final spoke.

"While I don't know the full extent of what happened, I will tell you what I am certain of," said the Doll.

I nodded my head and then she continued. "After you defeated the Moon presence, you absorbed enough insight that you were reborn a great one". The Doll waited, while I tried to soak in what the Doll just said. 'I am a great one, how, why'. The doll continued, "after your ascension, I picked you up, but surprisingly you regrew into your human form. Before I even had a chance to check on you, you vanished, since you inherited the Moon presence insight you are now the ruler of the dream and since the dream still existed you must have been alive". As the Doll wrapped up her story, I was feeling light headed. I quickly sat down leaning on one of the many nearby gravestones. Doll walked up and squatted next to me and put her hand on my head.

"I believe what you need is a vacation, explore this new world some," said Doll with a motherly attitude.

I let out a sigh, "I suppose you are right". I stood up and walked towards Gehrman's grave stone. I turned around and faced Doll one last time. "thank you, you have been a great help," I said. "That is why I am here, Good hunter," said the Doll. I smile under my mask and kneel down at the grave. The messengers appear and stare at me curiously. I feel the mental image of the lantern, suddenly the name appears to me. "Take me to Route 202".

(Dawn/pov)

My name is Dawn, I'm 15, and a Pokémon trainer and performer. I arrive back at Sandgem town after getting a sizeable chunk of the Pokédex filled out. As I pass the Pokécenter and arrive at Professor Rowan's lab I see one of the assistants outside. I approach the young woman smiling.

"Hi Vanessa," I said approaching her.

"Hello Dawn, Professor Rowan is inside having a meeting," she said with a hint of annoyance.

"Really, who is it," I ask.

"I don't know some blonde lady," she said.

"No normal lady can get a meeting with the professor on short notice," I state.

"Hey, I just moved to Sinnoh three months ago, don't expect me to know everyone. If you want to know, why don't you go in yourself, you needed to show him your Pokédex anyway," she said.

"Alright, I will it was good to see you Vanessa," I said as I walk into the lab. When I walk into the lab I quickly announce my presence.

"Professor, it's me, Dawn," I yell.

I walk through the lab till I arrive at the professor's office. "Professor, it's Dawn, I'm back." As I peak into his office I see the professor and none other than Cynthia the champion. Professor Rowan looks up at me and smiles. "Ah, Dawn, I'm glad to see that you're back, I know it is troubling but could you please prepare some tea for my guest," said Rowan. I stared in horror, I had to make tea for Cynthia the champion. "Y-yes, professor. It would be no trouble at all," I stuttered. Cynthia simply looked at me and gave a welcoming smile. I quickly left before I had a mental breakdown.

(Cynthia/pov)

I arrive at professor Rowan's lab to discuss my encounter with Giratina. I am quickly greeted by a young woman with a white lab coat

"Hello ma'am, how may I help you," asked the woman.

"Hi, yes I need to speak with professor Rowan it's important," I said.

"I see, may I know your name please," asked the woman.

"My apologies, my name is Cynthia," I say. I expected another fangirlish response but it almost seemed as if she couldn't care less.

"Ok, one moment please," She said. The assistant quickly walked back into the lab for a moment and quickly came back out. "My apologies, the professor will see you now," she said with a smile. I quickly walk into the "conference" room in the back of the laboratory. As I walk around the corner, I am see an old man with a white beard and messy white hair. The old man turns around and looks at me with a smile.

"Ah, Cynthia it's good to see you," said Rowan.

"It is also good to see you professor," I said.

The professor sits at his table and offers me a seat. I accept and sit down, as I look into his face I see an unusual amount of seriousness.

"Tell me Cynthia, does this involve when Giratina appeared yesterday," asked Rowan

I was shocked not only did he know but it's only been a day. "Yes, this involves Giratina. Are you aware that a person was riding on Giratina's back when he emerged," I asked? The professor's eyebrow raised.

"No, I was not aware of that, who was this person, a trainer," inquired Rowan.

"I don't think so, before he vanished he said he was a simple hunter," I said.

"A Pokémon poacher," asked Rowan, raising one eyebrow.

"I don't think it's that either, when he was fighting Garchomp, he spared him and I'm not joking when I say he launched him across the room," I answered.

"This is most unsettling, to think there is a human out there who can go head to head with one of the most dangerous species of Pokémon out there, I don't know what he could do," said Rowan scratching the back of his neck.

"Yes, unsettling indeed," I said. I was deep in thought, so was the professor, until I heard a young girl calling out "Professor, it's Dawn I'm back," said Dawn. The young girl looked into the office and saw me and Rowan. I quickly put a smile on my face as not to frighten the child. Suddenly Rowan springs to life, "Ah Dawn, I'm glad to see that you're back, I know it is troubling but could you please prepare some tea for my guest," asked Rowan. The girl had a shocked face. "Y-yes, professor. It would be no trouble at all," said Dawn quickly darting off. I let out a small chuckle.

(Dawn/pov)

As I was preparing the tea I remembered that I forgot to ask what type of tea they wanted. As I stood by the door steeling my nerves I heard the professor and Cynthia talking

"Sorry, where were we," asked Rowan.

"What we were going to do about him," said Cynthia.

"Your right in saying that he's dangerous; however, it seems that other than fainting you Garchomp, which you attacked first, he is not guilty of anything other than trespassing," explained Rowan.

"While that may be true, he was also with Giratina, which means he is an accessory to a kidnapping," said Cynthia.

"I fear you are grasping at straws Cynthia," said Rowan.

At this point I decide to knock on the wall. Both Cynthia and the professor look up at me. "Sorry to interrupt, but needed to know what type of tea you want," I ask.

"Dawn, was it," I nod "Tell me have you seen a 6-foot-tall man wearing old clothing with a blade made of bones," asked Cynthia.

I was taken aback for a moment, the image of a bone blade passed through my mind. I felt myself get uneasy. "Sorry, I can't say I have, is this man the hunter you mentioned," I asked. Cynthia raised an eyebrow.

"You must have heard our conversation, and yes I am describing the hunter," answered Cynthia.

"Dawn, I'm afraid your visit is going to have to be cut short, i'll help you upload your Pokédex and you can be on your way," said Rowan.

I recognized the seriousness in his voice, and quickly went to the main terminal. Rowan quickly came over and uploaded my Pokédex and walked me to the front door.

"It was good to see you Dawn, please keep safe, it seems Team Galactic is getting more violent," said Rowan.

"Of course, Sir, and next time i'll be sure to return with plenty of Data on my Pokédex," I said.

"Hahaha, I look forward to it Dawn," said Rowan. I leave Sandgem and make my way to Jubilife City. I knew that Team Galactic was in chaos after their leader's disappearance; however, I was not prepared for the new team Galactic. About 10 minutes after leaving Sandgem, a large group of grunts passed by, at first, I hid from them but their leader Jupiter saw me hiding. As I saw the grunts heading in my direction I quickly hid my Pokéballs under the brush I was brought before her held down by 2 grunts. Team Galactic were always wicked but they always avoided direct violence, but now the they have no leader their rules were up for debate. I was pushed down to my knees and my head was forced to look at Jupiter. There were 10 of them including Jupiter.

"Well, if it isn't Dawn, now tell me where are your Pokémon I would love to add them to our arsenal" said Jupiter with a coy smile.

I was silent, I refused to give up my precious Pokémon, neither did I want them to stoop to fighting a human.

"I see so you won't tell us, what a shame, I guess I'll beat it out of you, I've been meaning to blow off some steam," said Jupiter with an evil smile. The two grunts locked me in place and Jupiter reeled back her fist. I prayed for someone to save me. Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts when Jupiter's fist collided with my face.

"Want to tell me yet?" asked Jupiter.

"N-never," I muttered. Jupiter didn't say a thing. She only smiled and prepared to punch again.

(Isaac/pov)

As I arrive at this 'Route 202', I see a large patch of forest with a small trail running through it. A start to walk down the trail after about an hour I hear what sounds like fighting. Quickly stalking into view, I see more of the bowl cut grunts and that purple haired girl again. The purple one is beating a young girl, who clearly can't defend herself. Suddenly the image of the young girl with her read ribbon and the boar flash through my mind.

"Never again," I mutter to myself.

After one more hit the girl clearly passes out. I stand up making my presence know. The one with purple hair looks at me and her eyes widen with hatred.

"You! You were with that monster," she said pointing at me. Not wanting to waste time, I pull out the burial blade and transform it into scythe form.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm not a merciful as Giratina," I said. As the grunts reach for their Pokéballs I quickly rush forward swinging my scythe, decapitating two of the grunts. A violent fountain of blood erupts from them shocking the others. Before they can recover, I charge another grunt. I pull my scythe to the ground, as I near the grunt I swing upward, effectively cutting the grunt in half. Seeing their friends brutally killed the other grunts take a step back. As the grunts finally pull their Pokémon out, 4 purple rat Pokémon charge at me. I quickly perform an X slash cutting down the Pokémon I would later learn are called Rattata. Now that the grunts Pokémon were dealt with I quickly eliminated the remaining grunts until all that was left was me and the purple haired commander. The woman stared at me in shock.

"GO TO HELL", she screamed. As jupiter prepared to throw her pokeball, I charged forward, quickly severing her arm. As she recoils from the attack I pull my fist back and punch through her chest, grabbing her heart. Pulling the organ from her chest, I crushed it in front of her. Even if she could survive that attack the sight alone should break her will. As she let out one final wail of pain, the limp body collapsed on the ground.

Looking at the girl who passed out it was clear she was some kind of pokemon trainer. Part of me just wanted me to leave her there, but the images of the little girl with her red ribbon flashed through my mind. Picking up the girl and throwing her over my shoulder I start to walk away from the carnage, but quickly realize, that the trainer was missing her pokeballs. Sighing I quickly call up the little ones. The small gray creatures appear from the ground.

"Could you please look for this girls pokemon, they shouldn't be to far away", I ask the Little ones. With a curt nod some of them disappear. After a few seconds they reappear with the girls pokemon. I Collect the items while giving the little ones a tip of blood echos. After that I start to walk deeper into the forest. "I need to find somewhere to set up camp for a while, Doll said I should stay for a while", I mumble to myself.

(Dawn/pov)

At first all I saw was black, then my memories came flooding back to me. I quickly sat up worried for my pokemon's safety. Reaching to my belt I notice that all of them are there latched onto my belt. Feeling the spot on my head where I was his, its felt squishier than it should. Pulling my hand back down to my face, I could see it was covered in a green paste. Taking a quick sniff I immediately recognize it as a medicine made from some of the local herbs. It was dark outside so it was hard to see out into the forest. The crackling of a fire snapped me back to reality. Looking in the direction of the fire, I see a man with a large black coat with a mask over his face, and a worn tricorn hat. He had piercing red eyes, that locked onto mine. On his back was a large pair of bones and a large blade made of what looked like bone as well. My mind immediately remembered what lady Cynthia told me about this 'hunter'. Fear over took me as I let out a loud shriek and scooted away. At this the hunter just put his hand to his face. "This is going to be a long day", said the hunter to himself.
