Chapter 11: The Tidal Cave
Cam rushed to the Pokemon Center. After a quick heal, he rushed to Titan's Cove, wherein Tidal Cave was.
Halfway there, the voice began again.
Cam… You are almost there! Just keep going! Do not stop, and you will find out what awaits you…
Who are you? Thought Cam. Come on, just tell me!
Not yet. All shall be revealed, in time…
And Cam's mind became clear once more.
Who is that guy? Cam thought.
Cam approached Tidal Cave.
Well, here I am. Better make a start.
Slowly, but surely, he entered.
Tidal Cave was old, and run down. Only the best of the best dared train here. However, nobody knew why Tidal Cave was so dangerous, while Titan's Cove was a good, moderate-leveled place to train.
Now you are here, I shall take control!
Cam screamed for a split second. But then, the pain went away.
Unfortunately, that was the start of Cam's problems.
Forced by the dominating force, Cam walked sluggishly and slowly towards the end of the chamber. He activated panels that sent water rising and falling, as well as froze water and melted ice. After an hour, Cam reached an empty room.
The rest, said the voice, is up to you…
And it left again.
"Am I, on my own?! I can't be! How can I continue on? How do I go back?"
To answer Cam's questions, the entire room shifted, so that the way he entered was closed, but a new path had opened up.
Confused beyond belief, Cam entered the next room…
An altar was before him. Within it, a large, shimmering basin lay.
He took out the Sapphire Egg, almost certain of what he had to do.
He put the stone egg in the basin, and it filled with light.
In front of the basin, a small space appeared.
Absent minded, he took out the Ocean Badge. It clicked correctly into place, shining an bright blue light.
Bathed in light, the Sapphire Egg cracked… AND HATCHED!?!?
A glowing light left the egg. It rose up into the air, glimmering and glowing.
"What, are you?" Said Cam, confused.
I am many things. I am the Sapphire Sprit, the Lord of the High Seas. I am said to be the Searcher of the Red Orb, yet it is the Blue Orb which I truly seek. But, my true name and form…
"Yes?"
Is called…
"Yes?"
The spirit deepened it's colour to a dark shade of blue. The entire room glowed red symbols.
…Kyogre.
