I can't thank all of you reading this enough. (^_^)

Yay I have a Snow Day, so I'm going to update this...

If any of you didn't know it before I am a total Pokémon Fanatic and I have owned all the Pokémon games from generations one to three at one time or another. I only own a few generation four games, and since generation five hasn't come out in English, I own no games from that generation.

Anyway...

"Talking" Thoughts Poke-Speech

On with the Story...

Chapter 5: Evil's Rise to Power

Previously:

*Rose's POV, Petalburg City Cemetery, Around Six in the morning *

I had just visited Uncle Riley and Aunt Wanda's graves, I felt guilty because since I was the Guardian of Death, I played a hand in their deaths, but I have to move on.

I walked up to Mom and Dad's graves, which were next to each other, and laid red roses onto it, the one thing that brought them together, and my namesake.

Even though it was cliché, I started talking, "I made it to my first Grand Festival, just like both of you did. I even won my first Contest, beating Solidad, something you couldn't do, Dad. I wish you were here. I guess I might sort of like Solidad and Robert's son Mark, but I feel like both of us are still too young for love. I miss both of you. Dad why did you take that bullet for Mom? Mom why did you die after giving birth to me? Why? Why?"

There where so many tears covering my eyes that I barely saw or heard someone say, "I always knew there was something special and familiar about you Rose, but I would have never guessed it to be this."

I wiped away my tears enough to see the person standing in front of me, name escaping my mouth, "Solidad."

*Solidad's POV, Petalburg City Cemetery*

When I came to the cemetery to visit May and Drew's graves, I never expected to see Rose here, or hear that May and Drew were her parents.

When Rose first saw me, she gasped, but soon she fell to the ground in tears, and she still is crying, even though it has been a few minutes.

I sighed, realizing that I had to comfort Rose, "Rose, I know that you didn't want me or anyone else for the matter to find out, but can you at least explain to me how this is possible and who knew?"

Rose wiped away her tears slightly and croaked out, "Mom was pregnant when Dad died, that's why they moved up the wedding a bit. Mom died giving birth to me, but not before naming me Rose May Hayden, on her dying breath. I was raised by Dad's older sister, Wanda, and her husband, Riley. Since I lived with them since birth, I took on their surname which was Ryuji, but I kept the first and middle name Mom gave me. Uncle Max, Aunt Audrey, Grandpa Norman, and Grandma Caroline have known from the beginning, and Mark found out when we first started traveling together. Aunt Wanda and Uncle Riley died when I was seven, that's why I've been living with Pokémon for the past few years."

I nodded my head, then realizing something asked, "How come I never knew Drew had a sister, I was like a mother to him?"

Rose who had completely stopped crying by now replied, "Actually the Hayden had one set of triplets, the oldest being Aunt Wanda, then Dad being second oldest, and Uncle Wally. Uncle Wally had asthma and a permanent case of bronchitis, so he died young, only a few days after the others started their journeys. The reason no one knew anything about the Hayden triplets was because their parents died years ago, and it was prophesied that one of their descendants would hold a power that could destroy the world, so Dad never explained his lineage."

I smiled bitterly, "So you're the last living Hayden."

Rose grimaced, but nodded slowly, "We should leave now, it's getting close to seven and the Second Round to the Grand Festival begins at Noon, plus everyone will want to know where we were. Just DON'T tell anyone anything about what you found out here, someone might try something, knowing that I'm a Hayden."

I nodded, worrying about what someone would do to the poor girl if the Hayden Prophecy was told to anyone.

A/N: If any of you think that the previous section sounds familiar, I don't blame you, I sort of based this story off of the RPG Aveyond, which I don't own, along with Pokémon.

*Rose's POV, Staleport City Contest Hall, A bit past Noon*

I can't believe that Solidad knows now too, seems the list of people that know just keeps on getting longer, but I know Solidad can be trusted.

Great, it's my turn to battle.

As soon as I heard my name I got up and ran to the stage.

As soon as I got there MC Vivian announced, "This battle will be between Rose Ryuji and Daniella Allen (OC) begin."

Great another beginner, I'll finish her off with Beautifly then save my stronger Pokémon for later.

I took out a Poke-ball, threw it, and shouted, "Beautifly Let's Do This."

Daniella smirked before yelling, "Numel, Finish Her, Use Flamethrower."

I smirked inwardly.

She fell for my trap.

"Beautifly Hydro Pump."

Daniella lost points for the hit and because my attack exploded in sparkles.

Daniella gasped, "How could a Beautifly learn Hydro Pump?"

"My Beautifly is a Hybrid between a Masquerain and a Beautifly, considering that the Masquerain knew Hydro Pump, shouldn't the child also be able to learn it?"

Daniella was now dumbfounded, "I thought this battle would be an easy win... Numel Use Overheat."

"Beautifly use Gust to Blow it away, then Hydro Pump."

Beautifly's attacks combined into a makeshift whirlpool, completely destroying the Overheat and trapping Numel inside.

After a few seconds Numel fainted from being in water too long.

Beautifly set Numel down and Vivian announced, "Numel is unable to battle, so that means Rose wins by default."

I smiled and waved to the audience then made my way out of there as fast as possible.

I don't get how Mom or Dad could stand all that attention, I hate it, but then again I am the Guardian of Death, so I hate people in general.

*Mark's POV, Staleport City, Contest Hall Waiting Room*

Watching Rose battle, reminded me that we only had a few weeks until the Hoenn League, and I needed to train, but I stayed to watch the end of Rose's battle, and ended up seeing her leave with another fake smile.

Rose told me earlier that Mom knew the truth know, so I've been trying very hard to avoid Mom; I didn't want to be reprimanded for hiding secrets, half of which she still doesn't know.

As soon as Rose walked in, I hugged her quickly, but then pulled back, neither of us wanted to be caught in an embarrassing situation, again.

Mom came up to us and pulled both Rose and I into a group hug.

Soon, one of Mom's old friends, I think his name was Harley, came up to us and said, "Awww, how cute, one big family, just like how Solidad, May, Drew, and I were all those years ago back in Johto. I have a feeling these two will end up being lovebirds just like May and Drew as well."

Mom laughed, "Well they already have the middle names. Harley this is my son Mark Andrew Roberts and his friend Rose May Ryuji."

At least Mom didn't use her real last name.

I noticed that Harley narrowed his eyes when Mom said our names, almost like he was suspicious of something.

I coughed, "Mom can you let us go now, we aren't little kids, and this is embarrassing."

Mom smiled, and wet off into a haze, "I remember a time when you were a little boy in my arms, that would always cry when I was away for more than a few minutes..."

I turned red from embarrassment and complained, 'Mom, I wasn't that bad, and could you not tell anyone that."

Rose was chuckling, with her back turned toward me, Harley was smiling, "How cute, Hun, you love your mummy."

Rose, Mom, and I rolled our eyes at Harley and walked away to avoid him, with Harley yelling, "Wait! Where are you going? Hun? Hun!"

I still don't get why Mom is friends with that dude, but at least he has humor.

*Third Person POV, Staleport City Contest Hall*

Solidad, Rose, and Mark walked over to a table in the Cafeteria with all Solidad's friends on it.

As soon as they sat down, Dawn turned toward Rose said, "Rose that was an awesome battle, I really like the fact that some of your Pokémon are Hybrids, which makes their attack range extend to a variety of types."

Rose nodded sheepishly and scratched the back of her head, "It was nothing."

Soon everyone was chatting away, when Ash suddenly asked, "Umm guys, is it just me or did this place get really empty really fast."

The cafeteria was now completely empty except for that one table, and suddenly the doors and windows snapped shut, steel bar in-front of them to prevent escape.

Paul muttered, "I don't like the looks of this."

Aqua, Misty and Ash's daughter tugged on her mother's hand and asked, "Mom, what's going on here?"

Misty shook her head, "I don't know."

And just as suddenly as the windows and doors snapped shut sleeping gas filled the room.

Zoey screamed, "It's a trap, don't breathe, or else we'll..."

Before Zoey could finish her sentence, everyone; Ash, Misty, Aqua, Paul, Dawn, Lucas (Dawn and Paul's son), Zoey, Kenny, Natalie (Zoey and Kenny's daughter), Solidad, Robert, Mark, and Rose fell to the floor in a deep sleep.

As soon as everyone had lost their last bit of consciousness, the doors and windows unlocked, and two cloaked figures walked in, one female and one male.

The female said, "We had better take all of them with us, the boss wants to end the family lines, but who says we aren't allowed to have our fun."

The male nodded and both called out their Pokemon, which consisted of Vibrava, Surskit, Cacturne, Banette, Ariados, Octillery, and Wigglytuff.

The Pokemon grabbed all the people littered on the floor and followed their masters stealthily out of the building and to a hidden helicopter waiting in a nearby empty warehouse.

The helicopter flew out of Staleport and to a location somewhere on an island off the shore of Hoenn.

As soon as the helicopter landed, the captives were hauled into a prison room and tied up.

The two figures finally removed their hoods, long purple hair flowing from the man's head and short reddish brown hair coming from the girl's head.

The purple haired man asked his companion, "What do we do know Brianna?"

Brinna turned to the man and replied, "We wait Harley, and as soon as they wake up, we have our fun."

The sound of Brianna's sick and twisted laugh filled the room.

Harley smiled and thought, The Hayden line has already ended, and soon the Roberts, Sierra, Ketchum, Waterflower, Shinji, Berlitz, Nozomi, Kengo, and maybe Ryuji lines will follow.

To Be Continued...

I highly doubt any of you saw that one coming.

Review. (^_^)
