Pewter City

3 years later and the Pokemon Master still perishes at the peak of the snowy mountain. Nowadays everybody has a sort of job to take care of. Susan Oak took Brock's place as the Pewter Gym leader while he went off to study Pokemon breeding. She is ranked as Gym leader seven and is now referred to by the public as Green. Her brother Gary took Viridian's Gym and claimed it. He is ranked as the eighth in the Kanto league.

Daisy occasionally helps with her Grandpa, Professor Oak every now and then. She is engaged to the computer nerd Bill and lives with him at his cottage.

It was around seven at night and everything in Pewter City is starting to close down. The Gym on the other hand has until eight until it closes. Susan refurnished the gym into a more modern and simpler appearance to suit her. Just like her brother Susan trains an array of Pokemon and doesn't stick to one type.

A boy named Ethan came into the Gym limping on one leg as if he was injured. Ethan is a boy from New Bark Town in Johto who has defeated every Gym leader in Johto and the Pokemon league. He then continued to Kanto and has defeated everyone here as well. After that he re-challenged the Elite Four and Lance and then after being granted permission by Professor Oak he went off to challenge the Pokemon Master.

"Ethan, what happened?" Susan asked in a concerning tone while guiding towards a bench.

"I slipped and fell," he simply said.

"Yeah sure you did," Susan said sarcastically. "What really happened?"

"I won," Ethan said nodding. "I won,"

"Really?" Susan froze. "You really beat him?"

"Yeah,"

Susan has developed this ability to sense whether people are lying or not and Ethan was not. "Oh my god, congratulations Ethan," she said while hugging him very lightly.

Even though he was more worried about being injured, Ethan didn't mind being bugged by a very attractive teen.

"I'm proud of you Ethan, I kinda wish is was there to see it,"

Professor Oak's House – 10:26 AM

The day after Susan announced only to Ethan that she'll be going up there to see her long lost friend. Ethan though didn't like the idea of her going up there by herself she insisted on going anyway.

"Are you sure you really want to go?" asked Ethan.

"I'm sure. I have to," she said while grabbing a thick green jacket from her wardrobe.

"But you know it's very dangerous, you don't know what's up there,"

"You don't have to worry about me Ethan, I think I'll be alright,"

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Ethan asked.

Susan sighed. "I have to do this by myself Ethan," she answered while finally sliding on some thick and tight black stockings.

Soon after that she packed everything else that she needed such as a bit of food and her Pokemon. A sleep wouldn't be needed because according to Ethan it only takes around a few hours to get there.

Susan and Ethan both flew to the base of Mount Silver in their Aerodactyl and Pidgeot respectively. The bottom was very cold but Susan's jacket and think stockings was up to the job of keeping her warm and did a very good job of it.

They double checked on the essentials and if her Pokemon are fine up to full health. This has to be one of the most dangerous things that Susan has done in her life. She's gone against mighty, strong Pokemon, burglars and infiltrated the largest criminal gang in Kanto. But this is on a whole new level. To enter Route 28 – the path to Mount Silver – permission must be granted by Professor Oak himself.

If not then it is technically illegal to enter Route 28. Only the strongest of Pokemon trainers have been granted entrance to it like Ethan, the Pokemon Master and others how have made the attempts to take the Pokemon Master position. Not only that there are very strong Pokemon in there, but this law is to keep the ecosystem in its most natural state. Route 28 and Mount Silver is regarded as one of the most pure and natural places in the world.

"Okay, so you're ready?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure," Susan said very confidently. "I'll call you if anything happens or pops up,"

"Can't get signals in there," said Ethan in an unfortunate manner. "One you're in there you're on your own. Just have to hope that you're Pokemon are up to task of protecting you,"

Susan just has to hope so. Because in the mountain cave with all those tough Pokemon there is the Legendary Pokemon Moltres which is said to have attack humans and other Pokemon as well. These stories sparked enormous amounts of controversy and conspiracies regarding it, though it is very rare. This is why laws were put in place to protect unexperienced trainers from getting hurt or killed.

Susan gave Ethan one last hug. "Don't tell anyone, if anybody asks, say you don't know,"

"No problem," he responded.

Susan then took off her white hat and gave it to Ethan. "Take care of it," and then she finally walked into the forbidden Mountain and disappeared into the blackness of the cave.

It wasn't so dark but the cave was huge. It seemed as if the whole Mountain was hollowed out because the room she was in seemed to have extended in all directions. The things was that everything in a 75 meter radius can be visible by the naked eye. Anything beyond that was just complete darkness. The floor wasn't flat either. There are a lot of bumps, hills and ledges which meant a lot of climbing has to be done to travel though this total abyss. There are many puddles of water everywhere as well but the deepest being about an inch. Pools of water were present which suggested some surfing is needed.

But with all these inconveniences Susan was confident and determined to find her friend, to find boy who left her for sake of being the best trainer that ever lived. Susan was very good at directions and finding her way, which is one of the reasons why she was such a good cave explorer and navigator back when she was a rookie, with her friends, in a cave.

The Pokemon didn't seem to bother her at all. Mainly because she didn't look like threat. Sue didn't bother provoking them or scaring them. So it was just a lot of walking and climbing for a lot of the way.

After a solid few hours of trekking she made to a flight of rocky stairs. It had 40 degree incline and rose 50 meters. Hopefully this is the last part of the search. The stairs was probably the hardest part of the journey since it was created with sadistic properties and her legs were already beat. Now Susan stood and a hole in the wall. Beyond that was white.

Sue took one deep breath and walked into the blizzard. Her vision was reduced to a 2 meter radius. Beyond that was white. The snow she stood on was about an inch and a half thick and left deep foot prints as she walked. Next was probably the most extraordinary sight but I was a weird one though. The snow seemed to stop at this point and didn't continue further to expose a very deep valley about 25 meters deep. It was 50 meters wide and 25 meters thick. The valley floor was flat and covered with 2 meter wide holes, claw marks, dents on the walls and no snow.

Sue studied in shock and amazement of the large battle. She thanked the blizzard that the snow didn't spoil this field. It was so clear and so large that this is the sort of things that trainers dream of in a battle.

But Red was missing so she called out. There was no answer. She called again. And the response was a roar of a dragon Pokemon that echoed behind her. Next was the SWOOSH of the Fire Dragon slicing through the air above her. It landed on the edge of the other side.

Susan immediately recognized the Pokemon and who is belonged to. It is Red's Charizard. Then she felt a small Pokemon tugging at her dress. A Pikachu. She picked it up by the arm pits and gave it a warm smile.

"Pika-Pika," it greeted cheerfully.

"Pikachu," Susan responded and hugged the cute little mouse Pokemon. The electricity it produced made Susan very warm, especially in the inside since this was one of the very Pokemon she had a very relationship with even though it was someone else's.

While treasuring the sight of a long lost friend he caught sight of another who stood a few meters in front. For a second she didn't know who it was or where he came from. He wore a red vest, blue trackies and a red cap. Now it is quite obvious who it is.

The Pikachu jumped onto Susan's shoulder waiting for a command from his Master but disappeared in a Poke Ball. This made Sue jump since Pikachu is never put into its Poke Ball. It's clear that Red has changed and preferred it but Sue didn't like how he's turned so dark and cold.

He gave out a signal to his Charizard to jump into the valley and get ready. Red then lifted his head slightly to look at Sue. His dark red eyes glowed like a devil and frightened her to the point of making her mentally jump. It was clear what Red was asking for.

A battle.

Hey, I'll try putting in chapters every week or fortnight. Yeah, I'm trying my hardest to put something good into to this story. Thanks for reading but it's not finished yet.
