Leo, Lian, and Nina tensed as the Oreburgh City gym leader casually walked in, surveying the mine. He blinked behind his glasses.

"Well, is this what they were talking about?" He asked, not seeming surprised.

He was surrounded by a Buizel, a Ralts, a Snorunt, an Aerodactyl, a Cranidos, a Shieldon, 5 Onix, dozens of Zubats and Golbats, Geodude, Graveler, Golem and a few Sandshrew here and there.

"So, I guess you're not in for reasoning?" Roark smiled.

All he got were glares.

"Okay then." He pulled out a few pokeballs. Tossing them into the air, a Rampardos, a Geodude, and an Onix appeared. A few miners came in after Roark gave a signal. They sent out some Graveler and Machokes and Machamp.

The pokemon had the upper hand. But the trained pokemon were more powerful.

"I still say we're screwed." Blacktail groaned.

"Nonsense!" Shadow yelled, ready for a fight.

"Let's get started shall we!" Leo cried, firing a Water Gun into a Graveler's face.

Then the fight broke out. At first, the fighting was easy. Leo had an advantage over most of the pokemon that were rock types, and since Lian was a psychic type, the fighting pokemon were taken down easily. Then the trainers started using potions on their pokemon. Then they were doomed.

Nina gritted her teeth as Roark's Onix smashed her against a wall. Something sparkly dropped out of the cracked surface. Her jaw dropped. It was blue. It was a Dawn Stone. Before she could yell out, the Onix smashed the rock.

Nina stared. The Dawn Stone. Was gone. Oh my Groudon. She felt her temper flail up. The thing that she and Lian had been searching for. Gone. GONE. OH YOU STUPID SNAKE. I'LL KILL YOU.

"GRAWR. DIE SERPENT. DIE." Nina cried, she jumped out of the Onix's grip, Headbutting it's face. The rock snake dropped to the ground. Nina wasn't done with it. With a quick Ice Beam attack, the Onix was frozen solid.

"Uh. GUYS FALL BACK. WE GOT A MAD WOMAN." Leo cried.

The fighting pokemon obeyed. They stepped back to watch Nina wreck havoc on the opposing pokemon.

One by one, they all fell until a few Machoke and Machamp stood. They effortlessly dodged her attacks, slamming the Snorunt against the wall.

"NINA." Leo and Lian cried.

Lian teleported over to the Machamp holding Nina down. He tackled it's side, but the muscular pokemon didn't budge. Lian narrowed his eyes, which flashed for a second. Suddenly, a blast of energy hit the pokemon in the face. It collasped, returned to it's pokeball soon after.

"Woah," Galestripe murmered.

"Woah," Blacktail said.

"Lian almost stole my woman!" Leo cried, holding Nina.

She elbowed his side.

"THAT WAS A FREAKING PSYCHIC ATTACK. AWESOME LIAN." Shadow cried, leaping up and down.

A Machoke grabbed the small psychic type, slamming him against the wall again. Lian struggled. Suddenly, he began glowing. The pokemon and humans watching were stunned. In the Ralts place was a Kirlia. His eyes glowed. He kicked the Machoke aside, twirling and firing a sparkling leaf at it, knocking it out.

"OH MY FREAKING GROUDON, LIAN PUT A SKIRT ON." Leo cried.

Nina elbowed him again.

The crowd watched as Lian effortlessly knocked down the remaining challengers. The miners were about to make another move when another person entered the mine.

"Stop!" The person said. It was Nurse Joy. "These pokemon just want to be left alone! Can't you see that."

"Yes! Finally, someone with a brain around here!" Blacktail said, grinning.

Roark blinked. "Well... I guess I didn't know... Exactly."

"You leave them alone, now!" Nurse Joy said, running in front of the miners.

They nodded and quickly exited the mine. The pokemon cheered.

"Now, you pokemon go back to business. They won't bother you again." Joy said, smiling.

They cheered again. After she left, Leo took a closer look at the newly made Kirlia, Lian. His army hat was still on his head, straps hanging off the sides of it. He still lacked the normal green helmet. Two green, black, and brown horns poked out of the helmet. You could see his red eyes. And yes, he was wearing a skirt.

Leo stiffled a giggle as the group walked further back into the mine to tend to their injuries.

Leo, Lian and Nina were sitting with Galestripe, Blacktail, and Shadow, eating a few berries.

"So, you came here for a Dawn Stone?" Galestripe asked as she took a bite out of an Aspear berry.

"We've never found those." Blacktail said as she nibbled an Oran berry.

"Well, actually. I saw one. It fell out of the wall when that Onix smashed me... But he broke it." Nina sighed.

Lian groaned.

"Actually. There was another one in there." A voice said.

The group turned to see a Sandslash, holding a small blue stone.

Nina ran towards him, grabbing the stone and giving the ground type a huge hug.

"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU." She cried.

"Uhh..." The Sandslash murmered, blushing.

Nina handed the stone to Lian, and the two waited.

And waited.

Still waiting.

Nothing happened.

Everyone groaned.

Lian grabbed the stone, taking a closer look.

"There's a crack in it." He declared.

More groans.

"Well this sucks. NOW WHAT DO WE DO." Leo cried, slamming his head against the wall.

"Don't do that." Galestripe said, pulling him away from the wall. "And I think I've heard of someone who could fix it maybe."

All pokemon gathered around the Aerodactyl. "You do?" They all said in unison.

"Yes. Proffesor Rowan. A famous pokemon researcher."

"If he's so famous, how come I've never heard of him?" Shadow said, crossing his arms.

"That's because you don't pay attention to anything." Blacktail answered.

Shadow stuck his tounge out at her.

"Well, where is this Rowan man?" Leo asked.

"He's in Sandgem town, I believe." Galestripe replied. "Let me see your map."

Lian pulled the map and set it on the floor.

Galestripe looked over it. She finally pointed at a spot on the map. "Here. It's not too far away."

"Looks like we're going to go through a forest then." Nina said, handing the map to Lian.

"YES. NO MORE MOUNTAINS." Leo yelled, punching a fist into the air.

Nina sighed, dragging him by the tail. "I think we should leave now."

Galestripe nodded.

The next day, the travellers were all packed up and ready to go.

"SEE YOU." Leo yelled waving goodbye.

"Be sure to come and visit!" Blacktail cried as she waved.

"Well, Leo, looks like you made more friends." Lian said as he looked over the map again.

"More than you have, skirt boy." Leo smirked.

"Don't even start." Nina snapped.

Somewhere in Hoenn...

"Weak!" A human snapped, stomping his foot on the floor.

A mightyena stood before him, glaring.

"WEAK? YOU THINK I'M WEAK. I'LL SHOW YOU YO-"

A muzzle was clamped on her.

"Get that thing out of my site." The man ordered.

"Yes sir." A woman said. She was dressed in a red uniform, a hood with horns covering her eyes.

She put the canine in the cage and quickly ran outside with her.

The dark type whimpered slightly. The woman reached through the cage and patted her on the head.

"Sorry, Sapphire. I didn't want this either..." She said.

The woman placed the cage into a man's hands. "To Pal Park, in the Sinnoh Region." She ordered.

The man nodded, placing the Mightyena on a ship.

She gave a yelp, turning towards her owner who was waving goodbye. The ship hauled the ancor in and shoved off.

The Mightyena howled as her owner waved from the shore, tears dripping down her hidden face.

The dog stopped howling, and started snarling. "Screw you, Maxie. I'm so gonna rip you up if I ever lay eyes on your stupid face again."

In Snowpoint Temple...

A large beast groaned, flipping over onto his back.

"Aw, what now?" A voice said.

"I colored my unicorn wrong. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PINK NOT PURPLE." The beast started crying.

"Aw, Regigigas..." Another voice said.

Suddenly, a small tremor went through the temple, but for only a split second.

"What was that?"

"I don't know but... Something's going to happen. I can feel it."

"Sixth sense?"

"I think that's his seventh."

"Eighth, I say."

"SHOOT. I MESSED UP MY RAINBOW."
