Chapter 1 – The Champion
"News reports today that the Trainers Isle has been put in an emergency state of red alert. Transport in and out of the isle has been suspended until further notice." The television reporter went on and on as Nathan sat on the couch watching the morning news. Trainers Isle was often a target for terrorism. He wondered if someone had finally succeeded.
As he watched the news Nathan sat there with the newspaper too, its headlines mentioning the exact same thing.
'Trainers Isle under attack?' The newspaper read. Nathan focused his attention back to the television and he saw reporters interviewing the head of Trainers Isle, Hineru.
"We have put the isle in a state of emergency as we need to find the perpetrator of this so called invasion." Hineru said to the reporters regarding the ceasing of all transport in and out of the island. "It is of utmost importance that we find out who has stolen from the island." He said. Now Nathan was intrigued, what could anyone have stolen from the isle?
"What is this, thing, that these intruders have stolen?" A reporter asked the Trainer.
"I cannot reveal to you what has been taken by these men for it is not in my jurisdiction to tell you. You will just have to wait for us to reveal further details." He told them before departing.
"The situation has turned into an issue to be handled by the international Pokearth police headed by Superintendent Jenny." The reporter concluded before the report shifted to sports news.
Nathan sat and stared at the screen for a few moments. Was Trainers Isle really in that much trouble?
Just then, Nathan heard a knock on his door. He got up from the overly comfortable chair and walked towards the door. Opening it with caution, he slowly pulled the handle and before him were two men in black suits.
"You are Nathan Summers, yes?" The man asked as he looked closely at Nathan.
"Yes… Yes I am." He told the two, surveying each one quickly. "What brings you to my humble abode?"
"We are here to bring you to Isshu. Because of the declared state of emergency in the Trainers Isle, we are under orders to bring you to Isshu to regroup with the other chosen ones." The other man told him.
"Wait, wait, chosen ones?" Nathan asked, very much suspecting the two men's motives.
"Yes, chosen ones." The man simply replied. "You have defeated the elite four before, no?" The first man questioned again.
Memories of those glorious moments flooded Nathan's mind once again. He had missed those days where he had speant all his life training pokemon and living with them. They were his true friends. But, those days were not meant to last.
"Nathan?" The man asked again, seeing he was silent in light of the question.
"Who else will be there?" He asked quickly. This might be something big.
"Your friends Lavender and Oliver, some of whom will be present." The man told him.
Lavender and Oliver! He had not seen them in such a long time those two. They were his childhood friends and though Nathan had became a champion before the two, he had journeyed with them through the Waiben Region before settling down here in this house, far from the region's main cities.
"Will you come with us, Nathan?" One of the men asked him as he opened the door wider. He put out his hand, gesturing Nathan to follow them out.
He thought about it for a while. He was elated at the fact he would get to meet Lavender and Oliver again but was it worth it? He was going to leave his home for something he had no idea of. He was going to save Trainers Isle?
"Alright." He finally decided. "I'll go with you." He said as he went back into the house to pack.
Hineru paced up and down the halls of the top floor of the Tower. Long had he pondered as to what those men were doing in the Trainers Isle. He feared that their presence was not because of rumors that they had heard but he feared that they had come for something. He feared that they knew the secret the Isle's had kept hidden for so many years.
"The power to destroy and the power to create." He said to himself. Those powers were best left untouched, just as Hineru believed. He did not enjoy tampering with mystical forces, forces that may have led to the destruction of much.
"All this thinking isn't going to get you anywhere, Hineru." The man heard a voice from behind him. He knew that sound all too well.
"It's been a long time since you've been up here." He replied, turning around to greet his surprise guest.
"Yes, it has been…" The man replied. "Hasn't changed much." He continued, looking around the room. "And neither have you." He said in the end both jokingly and seriously.
Hineru paused for a while to take in the friendly comments before he sighed. "I fear that they are here because of what this Isle holds." He told the man, confessing his troubles.
"I know what they seek and I know of what they wish to use it for." The man replied. Hineru put on a troubled expression on his face, unafraid to express his concerns in front of the man.
"Why would they suddenly have this insatiable drive to search for it again? We hadn't seen much of their activity in the past decades until recent years…" Hineru told the man. The man stepped closer into the room and then, Hineru realized he too still hadn't changed.
He was still wearing those light blue jeans, still wearing that dark blue jacket, and still wearing that cap of his that never differs. On it, Hineru noticed the very thing that signified that man, a silhouette of a pokeball.
"Because," the man began to answer Hineru's question. "Because of what happened to your region my friend." He told Hineru as he walked closer and closer.
"The Hoenn Impact." Hineru immediately said at the mention of his home region. "Would they go so far for such a thing?" He asked the man as he began to think of the possibilities.
"You and I of all people know very well that the Hoenn Impact was not caused by the Sky Lord himself. It would've been too difficult to tell everyone of the truth of what happened during that event; no one would understand."
"Yes, Ash." Hineru replied. "I know it would've been too difficult, the two of us decided to tell the world that it was the Sky Lord who did it, not that abomination that was created, did we not?" He asked Ash as he walked towards him as well.
"Then you should know why they want your secret." Ash told Hineru as the two faced each other. Hineru had known Ash for so many years already, long before the Hoenn Impact had occurred 10 years ago.
"It matters not. I shall find the way out on my own." Hineru declared as he turned from Ash to walk towards the back of the room. "You should return to Kanto and make sure everything is safe." He told the man before he sat on the chair that was situated on the far end of the room.
"I can no longer go back to Kanto." The man told Hineru quite unemotionally, as if it did not even affect him.
"Why not?" Hineru asked, bending down slowly as if intrigued by this statement.
"Rocket." Ash quickly said. "They know what the cult has done in the Trainer Isle and they will be coming here to find them." Ash warned Hineru as he walked closer to the seat. "The Trainers Isle is about to become the host of the most epic battle ever in the history of pokearth." He said as Hineru stood up from his seat. It was alarming news indeed.
"So that is why you are here today?" Hineru asked as he had been wondering the purpose of Ash's visit. "If you require lodging I can provide that." Hineru offered but Ash quickly refused.
"No, I must keep moving. If Rocket finds me, they'll surely kill me." Ash told Hineru as he began walking to the exit.
"Wait, Ash!" Hineru shouted and Ash turned around to face him. The two experienced a moment of silence before Hineru broke it. "Why can't you go back?" He asked, severely concerned about the happenings in the foreign regions.
"Because they intended to bring Mewtwo to the island." Ash told Hineru. "So I took him." He finally said before walking out of the room.
Nathan walked out of the helicopter, eager to meet up with his old friends after so many long years. He had heard that the two had gone off to the other regions to conquer their respective leagues but Nathan was not too sure that his source of information was accurate. He had to see it for himself. He had to see their badges.
The men in suits had told him that they had landed in a city in Isshu called 'Hiun City', apparently the most crowded city in all of pokearth. Nathan had never once been to Isshu but he had heard the place was massive and was majorly industrialized to keep up the technologically advanced lifestyles of its population. He had also heard that recently many trainers had travelled to Isshu to experience their way of life; a fast paced life of a typical modernist.
One step closer to the edge of the building and Nathan realized the men weren't kidding. The city was bustling with activity and businessmen and women streamed by as they bumped into each other all desperately trying to reach their offices. The whole atmosphere of the city was stressful had welcoming to the occasional tourist coming to stay or simply passing through to get to the next city.
"Come sir, this way." Another man in a suit said as he ushered Nathan towards the roof access.
Walking down the stairs towards the lift lobby, Nathan thought about his adventures with Lavender and Oliver. He had very much enjoyed the time he had spent with them but somehow, he did not miss them either. He had decided he would not continue because he felt that he was getting too rusty at commanding his pokemon. He had made so many mistakes after beating the Waibern league that he just gave up. It was only until now that he realized he really needed to go out and do something, especially if it involved meeting his old friends.
He had reached the lift in no time and the man in the suit once more got him to go into the lift. He pressed the button for the 35th floor and the lift began moving almost immediately. Nathan could feel the whole atmosphere of stress once again.
The man took out a pokeball from his belt and stared at it for a while. It had been a long time since he had taken his pokemon out. He remembered the times where he was so empowered, winning all his fights with his trusty pokemon. He could almost hear the words 'Typhlosion use Flamethrower!' echoing in his head now. Nathan looked around the lift and saw that it was quite big for a passenger lift.
'He'd probably fit in the lift…' he thought to himself as he wondered whether or not he should let Typhlosion out of the ball. Eventually, he decided he would. Nathan held his hand low and prepared to throw the ball.
Just as he was about to throw it, the man in the suit reached out to grab Nathan's arm and Nathan immediately ceased his actions.
"I'm sorry but no pokemon are allowed to be released in this building without going through the proper security checks." The man explained. "Which we didn't…"
Nathan put the ball back onto his belt, relatively embarrassed by the scene he had just caused. Thankfully it was only he and three men in the lift otherwise it really would have been a shameful occurrence.
Just then, the lift door opened and right before him, he saw a familiar face. And then, the memories flooded back.
"Nathan!" Lavender shouted as he stumbled out of the lift to hug his friend.
"Long time no see Lavender." He said as they embraced each other. It had been, truly, a long time.
