Here we are, chapter 2. If I remember correctly, in the last chapter, we were introduced to Team Alpha and the legendary Pokemon Articuno, who spoke to Kahrik of a destiny in which both he and Team Omega were involved. So, who is Team Omega? What are they doing in the Rime Forest? Can Kahrik and his team get to them before they freeze to death? Well, that last question will be answered in chapter 3, but the rest of them will be answered in this chapter!

Chapter 2: Kyuri's Mission
Kyuri's POV
I don't know how long we'd been trapped in Rime Forest. After a long battle against an Abomasnow and his cronies, there was a bright flash of light, and we were in this grotto in the deepest confines of the forest. We were prisoners here, guarded by two wordless Sneasel.
My name is Kyuri. I am a Cubone, and I lead Team Omega. We are outcasts, passed off as weak by the society we live in. But we aren't weak. We've fought our way to Gold rank, and that's quite the accomplishment. They still don't accept us. It isn't fair, the way they treat us. Like we're lower than Gengar. And you're hard-pressed to find a good Gengar.
I should tell you who we are. My partners are Soul, an Ekans, and Victoria, a Turtwig. We met a long time before we made our own exploration team, when we were still victims. We never knew our parents. We were taken from our nests as eggs by a team of Pokemon called Team Rapture. They consist of Parousia, a Mismagius, Harpazo, a Gengar (surprise, surprise), and Epiphaneia, a Sableye. They are led by a Pokemon known only as Seraph, a Froslass.
As soon as we hatched, they put us through rigorous training, trying to force us into evolution so they could mind-trap us into their schemes, no doubt. We escaped, but not before Harpazo carved the Froslass's symbol into the back of my black metal skull helmet. The symbol was the skull of a Snorunt with End's pawprint on the forehead. We ran away, joined Wigglytuff's Guild, and became an exploration team. Then, we came here and got our missions from Clefable.
Victoria crawled over to me and laid her head on my lap. "What are we going to do, Kyuri? We can't escape with those Sneasel always here. None of us have a move to beat them with, and the only one not weak to Ice here is Soul. She can't beat them alone."
I nodded quietly. "I sent a distress call to Team Alpha. They can help us."
"You mean that team led by the black Charmander?" Soul hissed, taking notice of our conversation. She slithered over and curled up on my other side. "I heard the Dratini on their team can't even talk right."
"They won't have to talk," I replied, drawing on the sandy grotto flour with my bone weapon. "Kahrik's Flamethrower is the stuff of legend. Spirit has a Dragon Rage like no other. And Victor's Crunch has been known to take out even Machamp."
"Machamp! But Dark attacks don't effect Fighting Pokemon that well." Victoria's eyes widened. "He must be really tough!"
"All three of them are tough. They're Master Rank. With the storm those Sneasel have been talking about, I figured they'd be the only ones brave or mad enough to fight it to save us," I explained, laying my bone across my lap. "They'll make it. I know they will."
Victoria lowered her eyes. "Kyuri, I'm so hungry. We haven't eaten anything in three days."
For a moment, I was silent. "I know, Victoria. I'm hungry too. If we go to sleep, we can ignore the hunger pains."
"I hope you're right. And I hope we wake up again," Soul whispered, laying her head across her violet coils. With that, the three of us drifted off to sleep.
^..^ ^..^ ^..^
My eyes opened gradually. I was in a dark room made of stone with a Houndoom in front of me. He snarled in anger and charged at me. Acting fully on instinct, I jumped into the air and slammed him on the forehead with a Bone Club. He fell in a crumpled heap, but got up fairly quickly. Then, he Crunched my arm. Blood poured out of the wound as I tore my arm free and hit him with another Bone Club. This time, he didn't get up. Thinking quickly, I ran to my left and out the door.
Harpazo was waiting for me. "Foolish girl!" he shouted with a mad cackle. "You thought you could escape us so easily? You and your friends will never get away!" He grabbed me and dragged me down the hall and outside to the Bleak Chasm. Then, he held me by my ankles over the edge. "Join them in oblivion!" he snarled, releasing me. "May the rocks crush your skull!"
I was falling for ages. Then, there was a flash of bright light, and I landed softly on a pile of straw. I got to my feet as fast as I could and looked around. Where was I?
A soft, warm voice floated over from across the room. "Are you alright, child?"
It didn't take long for me to get across the expanse of space between me and the voice. When I got there, I saw a giant, yellow bird, with red flames on her wings, comb, and long tail. She had an orange beak, middle-length, and orange feet with golden claws. "Moltres..." I whispered.
"Yes, young one. I am the Legendary Fiery Bird, Moltres," she replied in the same sweet voice. It was almost motherly. She tucked her wings in and nuzzled me gently with her beak. "I'm glad you're alright."
"Why are you in my dream? I've never seen you before," I replied, dropping my bone weapon.
"I am here to warn you. Team Alpha is closer than you and your friends think. They draw closer with every passing hour. They are your destiny," she told me.
"Our destiny?"
"No. Your destiny." Moltres answered, stepping back. "Your path and Kahrik's are meant to meet and twist together. From the time you see each other, you will be fated to be together. Your choice and his carve the path for the future."
"How do you know all this?"
"I have my ways. And so does Lugia. He is how I can talk with you. If not for his psychic powers, you would not see me."
"Lugia? How does he fit into this?"
"I cannot tell you that. You have to figure all of this out with Kahrik. This is my only chance to talk to you. After this, you'll have to seek me out alongside Kahrik. Now wake, child, and prepare for the events to come."
"Moltres, wait! I have one more question!" But the bird was already gone, and I was starting to wake up.
Why me? …
^..^ ^..^ ^..^
Soul woke me with a soft nudge. "Wake up, Kyuri. I have a feeling we're going to get out of here soon. I can here pandemonium upstairs.
So Team Alpha was here. We would soon be free, and we could continue with our vendetta. Team Rapture had to be brought to justice. My friends and I were all close to the next level, and we would soon be Marowak, Arbok, and Grotle.
Our mission would be fulfilled, sooner than I thought.
End Chapter 2
Why must Kyuri and Kahrik go on this mission together? Why can't they do it alone? Why a black Charmander and a white Cubone? What does Lugia have to do with this? Just what are Team Ragnarok's and Team Rapture's motives, and how do they tie together? What's all this about the fate of the world from Articuno and Moltres? These questions and more will be answered in the chapters to come. But first, Team Omega has to be saved from the grotto!
But what was Team Omega doing in Rime Forest anyway?
