Chapter 4 – Island of Johto


Near Alto Mare in the Johto region an island stood not far from it not populated by people or even Pokémon, which was a forest around a mountain in the middle of the island. A ship near by the coast and a camp in a clearing of the forest, night was already coming in a group of people walking to a cave opening that they discovered, wondering what in there and why this island rich in plant life has no Pokémon or humans on it.

The team walk into the cave with their touches on the leading member a Professor in Mystery islands named Professor Helecorn, first time in his life he got the permission to touch foot on the island to find what he knew that was missing any life, not even bug pokémon could be found. "It was almost like this Island was forbidden" Professor spoke shining the touch around in the cave as they walk in deeper.

"Sir why do you say that?" a member of the team spoke asking about it

Another beside him was Maxwell a member of Team Rocket who was assigned by the professor by the funded person of the project telling him that Maxwell comes or no deal so having little choice in the matter "Have a look, this place is missing one thing"

"Pokémon?" the man spoke and Maxwell grinned

Professor stops and they all do as well "What is it Professor?" Maxwell asked then look ahead they saw a massive stone door and a wall going into the rocks from up, left and right "What on Charmander is that?" Maxwell walk past the Professor up some steps to the large stone door looking at the writing the Professor coming up beside him having a look as well.

"I have no idea, these symbols. They must be a form of writing but I never seen these symbols before" Professor wave a hand forwards for the others to come up and take photos on the door and walls. "We must find out the age of this place. It must hold a reason for this island being so quiet as it is for all this time" Professor said in a new hope of joy finding something new or even old. "Maxwell inform your boss Giovanni at once that we found something very interesting and even unknown that we need all the best equipment to translate this writing" Professor turn to Maxwell with hands on his shoulders "Cause my boy this is the greatest find in history!"

"Don't worry I will let the Boss know at once. He might even come and personally see this in action" Maxwell smiled and moved away as the Professor let go, the agent for Team Rocket running through the caves.

"Don't stand there boys and girls take as many photos as you can, we need a complete picture of this wall and door!" Professor shouted out with a happy grin on his face as the members for this research started to go back to work all just excited as Professor Helecorn.

Maxwell got outside and pulled out his radio "Giovanni this is 019 agent reporting in, Maxwell here. This research mission of the island just discovered something near the heart of the island inside the mountain." Maxwell reports in, to let the boss of Team Rocket in on the details.

"I hear you 019. I had a feeling this would be a good idea from the start so I am already here" Giovanni's voice came out from the other side of the radio "And I brought 009 with me, we will be there in 2 minutes" Giovanni told Maxwell

"Very good sir" Maxwell said looking out into the sky "I would suggest bring all the best translating equipment we've discovered a stone door attached to a massive wall the writing is unknown, we have never seen anything like this before. It could be very old" Maxwell explained to the boss on his radio.

"Very well. This better not be a waste of my time." The radio on that side closes off Maxwell looked at it then at the cave entrance

"Better not be a waste, or my goose is cooked" Maxwell said in a tone that he wasn't going to be happy if it was wrong but something about the door and those markings make him think "I wonder why this island was just called Island of Johto. Is it something to do with inside that stone door? A whole maze of passages or paths leading to many chambers?" Maxwell wondered to himself and starts to walk back into the cave to inform Professor Helecorn about Giovanni's arrival.

At the stone wall and door inside the cave one of the men sees a Pokémon a very mean looking one "Ahh!" the man screamed they all turn to see it as well. The Professor looked.

"What the?" the Pokémon roared everyone looking very scared now then the professor remembered reading about it then look at the man "What was you thinking about in fear?"

"That thing why?" the man said with shaking fear as the creation move towards them they all backing away but the Professor "Professor get back before it crush you!"

Professor open his eyes looking right at the Blastoise staring right back at him "Your not real, you're a illusion created by a fear that brought on by this person." Professor said then it vanished just like that. "Everyone listen to me, whatever you fear the most or fearing now seem to be being projected into a form that all see it. It some sort of power that trying to keep us away, no wonder that Pokémon or humans step on this shores before" Professor Helecorn said looking over at them then Maxwell came running in with a pokéball in his hand

"Where the danger?" Maxwell said ready to let his pokémon out.

Professor had his arms crossed then look over at the others "We've just had a illusion pokémon appear created by a fear of one person. It some sort of power that around this whole island to keep anything living away. Something very important is being held here and something don't want us finding it" Professor told Maxwell what just happened and his theory.

Maxwell put his Pokéball away "Alright then, that good to know that this place is far more valuable then we first thought. Good going professor" Maxwell said patting him on the shoulder "Oh the boss is coming with supplies he will be here shortly"

"Ah good my boy, the sooner we can get this translated the sooner we can find a way to open the door." Professor replied with another look at the massive door "From the size of this cave and that door even a Onix can walk into here or even a large legendary pokémon for that matter" Professor said looking around at the height of the caves

"Your making it sound like this was made by Pokémon" Maxwell laughed out finding it funny but the next thing the professor said made him stop in a bomb shell.

"There is a possible chance that it was." Maxwell looked at him then at the door now he felt a bit creeped out getting a idea of what the professor said about it was possible but pokémon couldn't build something like that. Was the thought of Maxwell but then he thought could it be possible?

As this was going on the chopper carrying Giovanni and Domino coming closer to the island flying over the water city Alto Mare, Latias heard the sound and look up to see it fly right over the city, she flew up above the city to see where it was going then saw the chopper handing right for Island of Johto a island that her brother told her to never go near cause of the dangers that laid there. Latias wonder why humans was going to such a dangerous place maybe taking a quick look wouldn't hurt her so she choice to follow the chopper under her stealth mode.

Inside the chopper Giovanni sat in his chair stoking Persian his pokémon looking at the screen as the chopper come closer to the island "So this is the Island of Johto? A normal looking island that hiding things from many including pokémon." Giovanni said calmly staring at the screen.

Domino stood beside his chair looking at the screen as well "Must have very worthy secrets on that island, it was a good idea to get that Professor Helecorn to come here. We would of never found this cave so soon" Domino said with a grin raising a black trollop

"Indeed 009. If what I understand is this place creates things out of your fear they look so real but they can't really harm you, something that fools many would help capture pokémon a lot easier and I would be able to get hold of some rare and powerful pokémon." Giovanni nods slightly and speaks to Domino with a dark grin.

"With something like that capturing rare pokémon would be a charm, we need to get into that place beyond this stone door" Domino said back confirming the idea being good for Team Rocket.

"One problem, we have to solve the writing, this time around blowing our way in isn't a option if I read this right just been sent by Maxwell, this cave would gave in from one explosion" Giovanni said to her. "So I will put you in charge of getting everything together and solving that writing quick as possibly can" Giovanni said to her.

Domino turn her head to the boss "I will get that door opened soon as possibly can sir, I will not waste anytime." Domino replied then asked "Is there any other Team Rocket members you need to help with this?"

"There is only one" Giovanni answered with a deep mutter "Meowth. A talking pokémon that joined Team Rocket it with Jessie and James two idiots that keep failing to capture one pokémon for me, those idiots I should of fired but why I didn't I don't even know" Giovanni said turning his head to Domino.

"If we need this Meowth to help then I guess this goes against everything I think of those clowns, you better call them sir" Domino spoke to Giovanni even she not liking it.

Giovanni pick up a phone a screen turns to a phone on it with blue around the phone symbol he dial the number "They better answer"

Team Rocket just got back to the Village worn out after being blasted by Flare with a hyper beam attack, which they still couldn't believe, that happened. "I am all washed out" mutters James

"I know, yet again we was blasted away but this time by that super powerful Pokémon" Jessie said standing against the nearest wall.

"I heard of hyper powerful but Hyper Beam from a Charizard? That crazy" Meowth still feeling some pain from the blast then they all jumped up hearing a phone near them ringing

Jessie picked it up "Hello?"

"Jessie!" the voice made her jumps in a second then she saw a image of Giovanni "James and that Meowth better be there too!"

"Boss!" Jessie said with a surprised voice "What a pleasant surprise" she'd said nervously looking at the screen with the others coming up to it

"Shut up and listen!" Giovanni said at them with a serious tone "Now I got a job for your Meowth. Since it can talk"

"Could I ask what it is?" James asked

"No!" James closed his eyes with fear turning away "Now I have set out a chopper to where you three are, it will pick you all up and bring you to Island of Johto, the mission briefing will be in folders in the chopper. New photos that just been set to me by Maxwell will tell you everything about this mission. I will be waiting for you on the Island of Johto. Don't mess this up" then Giovanni hanged up

Jessie put the phone back down looking at James and Meowth "We got something really important!" Jessie cheered they grabbed each others hand and paw for Meowth and danced around then they heard the chopper coming down.

"Wow that was fast" James blinked

Jessie pushed him "lets go before the boss fires us" Meowth walking behind them entering the chopper.

"Ok ok, I can walk Jessie" James complained.

"Stop your whining" Jessie said back getting onboard the chopper and the door closing after Meowth who shook it head a little. The chopper takes off for the Johto Region

Giovanni just look at Domino as his chopper land on the island "I hope this isn't a faintly mistake"

Domino shook her head "I am sure those clowns will not mess this up. I will make sure if it"

"Good" Giovanni answered with a grin. "It time to find out what this island is about soon Team Rocket will be known as the most feared in the world and make those Team Aqua and Magma look tiny to us" Giovanni got up and left the chopper, Domino following him out of it.

"Some how those two won't know what to expect from us" Domino said then look at the chopper "Those trio, why do I have a feeling I've seen them before. Must be from that day they got to be Team Rocket agents. Giovanni had high hopes for them but now they are complete washouts" Domino then follows Giovanni up into the woods away from the campsite where the chopper landed. They both heading to the cave to see the writing for them and try to find a way into it beyond it being a power that might make Team Rocket powerful once more.
