Aaron reluctantly took a seat on the mat across from the woman. "How do you know my name?" He asked cautiously reaching for his pokeballs.
"No need to be using those. Like I said, I'm not going to hurt you." She said staring at Aaron's hands which reached closer to his waist, but stopped to hear her out. Just then, her Pokémon stepped forward, an Alakazam and an Absol; they stood by her side. "They are here in case you have other intentions and to help me explain a few things to you."
"About what?" Aaron asked curiously.
"Your destiny of course." She said as her Alakazam stepped forward and made the fire grow in size with its psychic powers. "My Absol senses the disturbance that shall set off an epic legendary battle. I know that you are tied to the disturbance somehow. I sense that you are destined to fight alongside one of the great legendary Pokémon of Hoenn in the great battle." While she explained what she saw, her Alakazam conjured images in the fire depicting what she spoke.
"Why are you telling me this? I thought that everyone on this island hated outsiders." Aaron said giving her a look of suspicion.
"Child, I am not loyal to anyone. I am simply an oracle, a messenger, an informant. The prophecy concerns you. Therefore you have the right to know the prophecy." She explained as she motioned to the walls which Aaron noticed were covered in carvings and depictions of several actions. "I have informed many of their destinies for eons."
"What else can you tell me?" Aaron asked knowing that she had more to say about the prophecy.
"You are closely approaching your destiny in which you will fight alongside one of the legendary Pokémon." She repeated herself once more.
"Are you saying that I might not fight alongside Groudon?" Aaron asked as he pointed to his uniform signaling his loyalty.
"I said nothing of the sort. It is up to you to find the remainder of your destiny." She said standing up and disappearing in to the shadows. She came back out holding an old wooden box with a few carvings on it. She opened it revealing a silver ring inscribed with what looked like the patterns on Groudon and Kyogre. "Take this." She said holding the box up to Aaron.
He reluctantly took the ring from the box and slid it on his right hand; it fit perfectly. "Thank you." Aaron said looking around the cavern again. "So who are you exactly? You said that you have helped people for eons."
"You should be asking what am I." The woman said as she turned in to a ball of gas revealing a Gastly. "Now, it is time for you to leave this place, Aaron. Your destiny awaits." The Pokémon said covering Aaron in a purple dust before he blacked out.
Aaron slowly regained consciousness as he heard voices speaking. "Hey guys, I found one of them!" A grunt shouted as he and several others ran over to Aaron whose eyes slowly opened to several grunts crowding around him; he was laying on the beach. Two of them helped Aaron up and had him resting on their shoulders as they carried him to one of the boats. In the distance, he could see parts of the jungle on the fire while the natives were working to extinguish the flames with the help of their Pokémon.
"What happened?" Aaron asked rubbing his head.
"We got what we came for and broke the other grunts out. Now we're getting out of here. We'll make sure that we get you to the infirmary once we get back to base." An admin said as Aaron was boarded on to the boat that sped off while Aaron passed out once more.
Aaron woke up rubbing his head; he was laying in a hospital bed in a pair of lounge pants and a t-shirt. "Ugh." Aaron groaned as he looked around the infirmary.
An admin saw him and walked over to him. "What happened to you? When we lost contact with you and no one saw you, we thought you were dead."
"I can't really explain it. It was so weird. There was this cave and these Pokémon who kept telling me stuff." Aaron said trying to remember everything, but only coming up with bits and pieces as he looked at his hand seeing the ring from before. "They gave me this ring."
The admin examined it and handed it back to him. "Looks like some old trinket from the island. You can keep that. Now, you better get some rest. You'll be cleared to leave the infirmary in a few days if everything checks out." He said before walking off while a nurse came in and handed him a tray of food. Aaron reluctantly ate the food knowing that he had to keep his strength up.
He finished eating, and once the nurse took the tray away, he examined the ring in his hand. "I failed the mission all for a stupid ring." Aaron cursed under his breath as he clenched it in his hand. "It's my destiny to side with one of the legendaries. I'm going to fulfill the prophecy and make Team Magma proud. I'm going to make Maxie proud." Aaron thought to himself as he closed his eyes to rest once more.
Meanwhile…
"So you think he met the oracle?" Maxie asked one of his admins.
"I think so sir. He woke up on the beach with no memory of what happened on the island, and he seems to have obtained some sort of ring. So, do you think that he is the one mentioned in the prophecy?" The admin asked.
"I do. That boy is going to help us win the war between sea and land once and for all. We've worked so hard to finally reawaken Groudon after all of these years, and we are going to succeed. We have to." Maxie said turning around with his hands behind his back. "You are dismissed." Maxie told the grunt while he turned to his computer to examine a few documents of great importance. "Aaron, you destiny is approaching. Hopefully you are the one."
