"Ok enough!" said May as she dropped to the ground in exhaustion, "we have walked for like a billion miles and I want a break" she wailed, acting immature.

"I'm with May, for once. I am bushed" said Max as he, too, dropped to the ground and sat there in silent protest.

"Yeah, me too" said Brock and leaned against a tree, gazing at the wide expanse of land that was yet to be covered in order to reach Mauville City and Ash's third gym badge.

"COME ON! You can't be tired, we have only a few miles to go!" said Ash as he stared unbelievingly at the rest of his group.

Max after briefly scanning the Pokenav, said, "Ash! We have just walked 12 miles from that town! We need a break! And for you information we still have another 9 more miles to cover. I suggest we take a break!" said Max as he took out his camping equipment and laid them on the floor, his intentions clear.

"Look, if you don't come, I am leaving you alone and continuing on this journey on my own!" said Ash as he swung his backpack over his shoulder.

May suddenly got up, a faraway look in her eyes as her eyes met Ash's. Just as fast as it had appeared, it was gone.

"I am with Ash! Lets go guys!" she said as she put on her bandana.

Max looked at her incredulously.

"May, you GOT TO HAVE be kidding me!" he said, "of all of us here, you complain the most about walking and now you want to walk more…..are you feeling alright?".

"Of course I am alright, brat! Let's go Ash! Brock you coming?" asked May, looking at the eldest member of the group.

"Nah….we'll join you. You guys go on ahead." He said as he engrossed him self with a magazine.

Ash and May nodded and went on.

"gee, May. Thanks for sticking for me. I owe you one." Ash said as he looked at his travel partner.

Just like before, the faraway look in her eyes returned, "it was no problem, Ash, any time!"

Ash smiled and nodded a little nerved about May's strange behavior. But who can blame her when Ash himself knows that he has started to, also, act weird.

After a few hours, Ash and May decided to rest for a while. May went out into the thick and dense vegetation to find some source of liquid nourishment for the two of them and Ash had volunteered to set up the temporary camp.

"Heh…I wonder why this bag has gotten heavier than before?" wondered Ash as he opened his bag. He almost stumbled over when he saw a stone tablet inside, the very same from his dream. Ash, flabbergasted, took it out. Its stone face was covered with fine dust which Ash blew away easily. When he did that, the true face of the tablet was revealed, its engraved writings, gleaming green softly as Ash ran a hand over it. Ash mumbled what was written on it, "arage siara dun dos losa de la capiria".

Ash closed his eyes and concentrated on the words in his mind. Ash gasped. In his mind the words began to change from to the war of legends. Ash, intrigued by it read on, once, once before civilization, once before Pokemon, once before the Kabuto and Armaldo existed, there was a huge fight in Earth. Titans and Guardians clashed over land in which they will rule. The Titans said that all Legendaries should rule but the Guardians said that normal Pokemon should. This war went on for centuries, disintegrating each other. Legendaries died every day but the casualties on the Guardians side remained low. After a while, when there was only 500 different types of Pokemon and a mere number of Legendaries left, a truce was signed. Lands will be ruled by legendaries but their power can only be released if a host finds their respective orb. The orb will contain the power to control them. The orbs were created and were handed to the Guardians. Peace was regained, but only for a while. A legendary called 'Largia' did not like the outcome. He wanted the legendaries to rule and not be controlled by the Guardians who possess the orbs. One night, he ventured into the Guardian's territory and stole the orbs that could control the legendaries and hid it in places where no one could find it. He and his race was hunted into extinction for revenge by the Guardians. Now the orbs still hide in the shades of things, never to be found…..

The tablet stopped right there. Suddenly the tablet started to glow and in a few seconds, it disappeared. Ash, dumbfounded, stared at his empty hands where the mark pulsed with green. Ash shook his head in confusion. 'So have I actually found a orb of the Titans? And what are Titans anyway?' thought Ash as he stared at the mark.

"ASH!" a voice shouted behind him. Ash jerked and hastily covered his mark and turned only to have his head knock against May's.

"ehh………." groaned Ash, "May, I am sorry."

"no…..its ok. I did not mind, really." said May as she rubbed her head, a misty look in her eyes and a small smile dancing on her lips.

Ash just ignored May's expression and helped her up and the two of them continued on their journey.

MEANWHILE:

Brendan was gliding through the clouds as he and his Pokemon were enjoying the thrill of the ride. After a while, Brendan spotted the Champion's tower and requested Dragonite to land. The dragon obeyed and went for a plunge.

"Ok…..err…next time, Dragonite, try to go easy on the landin-AHHHHH!" Brendan screamed as they rapidly lost altitude.

Finally after few minutes of stomach turning activity Brendan went into the Champions building at the Ever-Grande City. This was a full building which annexed into the Main Stadium where challengers fought the ELITE 4.

There was five buildings in the vicinity of the Stadium. The shortest one is the first elite's the moderate one is the second elites and the medium one is the third elite's and the tallest building of all 4 was the 4th elite's but the grandest and tallest was the Champions one. He entered it and went into the elevator which opened with a ding. He punched in a sequence of numbers into the keypad. Suddenly, a hidden door opened from the side of the elevator. Brendan made his way into it and the door closed behind him. A beam of ray targeted at him scanned him for any spying device that may have been planted onto him with out him knowing. Finally, after the test was clear, another keypad emerged. Brendan punched in a different sequence of numbers. This time the floor started to sink as the spot where Brendan was standing made its way down. The floor stopped at B3. Brendan again typed in another sequence of numbers and a door opened again. Brendan made his way into it, only to come face to face with a lush green forest filled with Pokemon of all kinds. A few Rhyhorns came up to him and rubbed their faces against him. He smiled and patted them. This was Brendan's place for keeping his Pokemon, just like how Prof. Oak's place is the place where Ash stores his Pokemon.

"ahh….the weekend. The time when I can truly relax" murmured Brendan as he grabbed a lawn chair and a book, off to enjoy a weekend free of trouble, but little did he know how wrong he was…..

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Ash finally reached Mauville City, where gleaming light was everywhere and so was electric type Pokemon.

"gee, I guess this town is electric-obsessed" joked May.

Ash laughed lightly but his entire mind was on the event that had taken place.

"I don't get it! If the orb lets me control a Legendary, why can't I do it!" thought Ash.

May noticed his weird behavior.

"Ash, are you ok? you seem a little distracted today." she said looking at Ash with concern.

"no…..its ok, May." said Ash.

May began to retaliate when she noticed a banner that said that there was a carnival in town and it was there only for today.

Immediately, May pulled Ash with her and made her way to the carnival, despite Ash's protests.

A dark figure appeared in the shroud of the shadows. Another one appeared next to him.

"So, is it him?" asked the first figure. The second nodded.

Together, the both of them retreated into the darkness of the shadows of Mauville City.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
