Sorry this chapter was late, I've been really busy with school, I had to write 3 different essays. Now what better way to ease the stress than with More Writing! ... But in all seriousness, I enjoy writing for this story! But being honest this story might be really long and I mean REALLY long. But I hope all of you who are reading this will stick by and continue reading this story. Also I know for a fact that this story will eventually get boring if I put the main 4 in every chapter, to remedy this I thought I would give some of the OTHER OC's a chance at the spotlight! Enjoy!


The sun shone brightly on Cerulean City, a pair of familiar faces walked out of the Cerulean Gym with a pair of shiny new badges. It was Celeste and Shade!

"So that makes 3! Where to next?" Shade asked.

"Lavender Town..." Celeste answered.

"Since when did that town have a gym?"

"It opened recently..."

Well then I guess we better get a move on." Shade replied, just as the two were about to head east onto Route 9, someone stopped them.

"Not so fast!" Someone called out, the two looked at the person, or rather people, who stopped them. It was Ray and Aiden! Shade and Celeste looked happy to see them.

"Hey guys, however you been?" Ray asked.

"We got our third badge, definitely making progress!" Shade answered. "I wish we could battle but we're kind of worn out from the gym."

"No problem, we were going to challenge Misty later." Aiden answered. "Elekid and I are going to take her down!"

"Well she's stronger than you think..." Celeste noted.

"Maybe... well since we're all here why don't we just take it easy for a while!" Ray proposed. The others agreed.


Some time later, the four of them were sitting by the river leading to Cerulean Cave.

"So what do you think the others are doing?" Ray asked.

"Some of them should either be training for their battle against Misty or coming back from Celadon City..." Celeste answered.

"Well that makes sense." Shade answered, he looked over at the entrance to Cerulean Cave in wonder. "What do you think is in there?"

"My Kadabra senses many strong pokemon in there. Strangely though there was one that trumped them all in strength but... it's gone..." Celeste replied.

"Strong Pokemon huh... well they better watch out, because I'll take them down!" Aiden announced, the others laughed with him. Even Celeste, who was naturally quiet and shy, couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

"Hey, you two have heard about what happened in Mt. Moon right?" Ray asked.

"Yeah, apparently some terrorist group blew up some of the tunnels." Shade said.

"That's just crazy..." Aiden said. "Do you think they'll do anything else like that?"

"Hopefully not." Celeste said.

"Yeah, I don't want to meet a bunch of crazy people like that, hopefully the others won't have to deal with them. Ray added. The others nodded in agreement.


Some time later, the group was still talking, eventually the topic changed to the Gym Leader of Lavender Town.

"So who exactly is the leader of the 4th gym anyway?" Ray asked.

"I'm not entirely sure to be honest, though he is an expert on Ghost - Type pokemon and Double battles. Though rumors have spread that he or she uses a Chaney for some reason..." Celeste explained.

"Ghost Pokemon and a Chansey, we'll have to plan accordingly." Shade said.

"Yeah, Ghost types can be really tricky!" Ray added.

"Remember, we have to go through Route 9, Route 10, and Rock Tunnel first..." Celeste reminded them.

"Speaking of Route 10, isn't the Power Plant there abandoned again?" Shade questioned.

"That's right..." Celeste responded.

"Why?" Aiden asked.

"It was difficult for people to actually get to work in the Power Plant everyday, so the relocated it to Route 13." Ray answered.

"So the old Power Plant is flooded with pokemon?"

"That's how it seems..." Celeste explained.


"So once were all done with traveling through Kanto, where will you go?" Aiden asked the three.

"Not sure, probably Hoenn. It would be great to go back home again!" Ray answered.

"Well, the Unova Region is said to be nice at this time of the year." Celeste replied.

"It would be awesome to go to Kalos, I hear the gym leaders have gotten tougher." Shade said.

"Really? Honestly I might go check out the Sevii Islands. But that's just me!" Aiden stated, he looked up at the now orange sky, he then looked incredibly nervous. "Uh-oh..."

"What's wrong?" Shade asked.

"Is the gym still open?!" He said uneasily.

"I'm not sure, you'd best hurry if you plan to battle Misty..." Celeste answered. With those words, Ray and Aiden bolted from where they were sitting and ran towards the gym. Suddenly, Aiden turned to face the others.

"You two wanna watch?" He asked, Shade and Celeste smiled at him and went along.


Hours earlier, while the main group was heading to the gym, Pandora, Ryan, and Simon were still still in the strange building. They seemed to be in some sort of waiting room. They wore suits similar to a regular TDS grunt, except the colors of the suits they wore were different. Simon's was white, Pandora's was dark blue and Ryan's was green.

"So what do you think our first job will be?" Ryan asked.

"I'm not sure, but whatever it is we need to work hard. The harder we work, the sweeter our reward will be." Simon answered, Pandora sat quietly. A man entered the room, he looked different from the man that spoke to the three yesterday. He looked intimidating, he had a blond buzz cut, he wore the same green uniform that Ryan wore, except his had a light blue gem affixed to his. He had an ID that shown that his name, or codename rather, was "Sirius"

"You three, I have your first assignments! Follow me." He said, the three trainers followed Sirius to another room. Where a few other grunts we're waiting. "Alright troops, here's the plan..."


Sorry this chapter seems shorter, but i wanted to put at least something out to all of you, and i wanted to give the main group a break, if this fanfic were to be made into a regular pokemon game and you were going against the gyms, Misty would be right after Erika with almost no wait. Because of this, I want the next chapter to be without the main group as well, just to give the others some more screen time and some character introductions/development. Hope you enjoyed!
