Chapter 6 – The Doors of Johto Island


Night fallen over the Johto Island near Alto Mare, the camp fire burning within the depths of the island in the biggest of the tents Giovanni sat looking at a large screen showing the images of the wall and door that was taken. He had been staring at them for ages his pokémon Persian asleep next to his chair Giovanni giving it a stroke and continue to look at them.

"Seeing the look on Persian made me think, this must be made by pokémon but how is that even possible. I will know when that Meowth comes" Giovanni said to himself looking at the screen again "It will all come clear soon and if there is a power within that door it will soon be mine and bring power to Team Rocket." Giovanni said with a smile, hands press against each other.

Domino came into the tent Giovanni turn to the entrance "Have they arrived?"

"No Giovanni, the chopper is almost here though, about 4 minutes out" Domino reported then look at the screens "Have you discovered why your Persian reacted as it did when seeing that door?"

Giovanni turn his head back to the screens "No. And frequently I am getting really annoyed not knowing why it reacted to the door" Giovanni closed his eyes "I never seen Persian like that"

-Flashback-

In the caves Giovanni walked with Maxwell and Domino through the caves with Persian beside it master then they enter the area where the wall stood with the large door Giovanni looked amazed so did Domino. "This is what you was talking about?"

"Yes boss, we can't understand the writing" Maxwell replied and Domino walked up to the door placing a hand on it.

Domino then spoke "It something that older then any known writing from the symbols, wonder who built this" Domino spoke turning around

Giovanni cross his arms "Then it worth sending the translators in" Giovanni spoke then look at Domino, she was staring at something then he turn his head down at his Persian "What the matter with you?" Persian look up shaking a bit "No it can't be, you can read this?" Persian nods with fear.

Giovanni then look at the wall "Now I know bring those idiots here was a wise idea, that Meowth will tell me everything that this would say if what Persian saw understood this" then he turn with his pokémon walking back with Giovanni

Domino cross her arms "They better not mess things are" then she left after him

Maxwell turn to the Professor "Keep up with the work we need to crack this much as possible"

"I will sir" Professor Helecorn replied then turned around back at the wall and door when Maxwell walk through the massive tunnel back to the campsite.

-End of flashback-

Giovanni reopen his eyes looking back at the screen "I want answers not more questions, I came here personally to get something that will aid Team Rocket in restoring that was lost. Cause all those late failures not only from those idiots but the other two as well" Giovanni said with an angry tone his face showing anger as well.

"I know what you mean Giovanni, that failure also with one of the legendary pokémon with some other agents failed to another kid, this can't continue sir" Domino replied with arms crossed and her back against the beam of the tent. "But no one knows we here so this should be easy"

Giovanni stand up looking to her "This time we have a upper hand on this island" Giovanni grinned then Maxwell enters the tent

"Boss they've arrived" Maxwell told Giovanni

"Then let them in" Giovanni spoke back Maxwell nod and pull the tent sheet to a side, Jessie, James and Meowth walking in "Finally you idiots got here"

Jessie and James nod "Yes boss, we got here soon as we got the call"

"We here to do whatever you need us to do" James said as well

Giovanni looked at James then Jessie, Giovanni then stare down at Meowth "You two will write down what Meowth will read on that door and wall, that is your tasks" Giovanni said to them

Meowth looked lost at this point "Boss what ya talking about?"

Giovanni turn around with hands behind his back "I am talking about this" Meowth looked at the images gasping

"How can I understand this!? I never seen this stuff in my life but one word is not believable, it saying Pokelonum! That just a legend told to baby pokémon!" Meowth said with shock in it voice

"Then it settled, you will open the door for us, find the way to open it at once and then I will think about promoting you three" Giovanni said not turning around at them staring at the screen

"Really?" Jessie said with her hands rubbing together

"Yes" Came Giovanni's voice

"Come on Meowth do it for us and you" James said picking Meowth up looking right in the eyes of the cat pokémon

"If you don't I will have to fire you three" Giovanni said with a grin on his lips not looking back at them

"Come on Meowth please" Jessie begged, Meowth look at them then at the Boss of Team Rocket

Meowth then sighed, "Ok I will do it. For Team Rocket" Jessie and James cheered in delight.

"Maxwell take them there at once" Giovanni gave a order

"Right away sir" Maxwell put a hand out to the tent exit they leaving Meowth paused looking back at the images then followed Jessie and James. Maxwell leaving behind them the last to leave the tent

"I hope you know what your doing" Domino said looking at the exit then at Giovanni who looked back at her with that crawl smile on his face

"In fact Domino I know what I am doing perfectly well. I was right about pokémon understanding this, it means the power inside is far more valuable then we first thought." Giovanni telling Domino in the tone that he was very pleased in this mission "Now Domino go find that Professor and find the age of this little island and that stone door. I am sure this is going to be very interesting to hear."

"Indeed it does now, I will go at once" Domino turn and leave the tent, leaving Giovanni alone with his Persian again, he sitting down in the chair looking back at the screens changing the image to a live feed at the site.

"What type of secrets would Pokémon hide in there and keep their own kind away from the very island" Giovanni spoke to himself those questions running in his mind as the trio with Maxwell walk into the view of the screen viewing from a camera looking at the door and everything around it.

Unaware of the cameras and everyone now at the large stone door a invisible pokémon watches as the trio, Jessie, James and Meowth with Maxwell walked up to the door, Meowth was looking to it right then left at all the symbol form writing. "Well?" Maxwell spoke Meowth turn around looking at him

"I can understand all of it. I am seeing warnings and the way to open the door and what this place is called, which ya like me to read out?" Meowth asked not to go against the wishes of it pals Jessie and James.

Maxwell cross his arms "How about the name of this place"

Meowth nod and look at the section of writing then speak out aloud "Arthfosor Tower beyond the doors you will enter into the Tower and find that of light and that of dark be careful at what you touch" Meowth turn to them

Jessie put a finger on her chin "What a weird name, must be some pokémon name for this place"

"And what does it mean by light and dark and be careful at what we touch?" James finished both a little lost by this but Meowth was looking a bit concerned by this

Meowth thought to himself in his mind 'Passing the Illusions you are at the door to the Tower, beware. Beware. A warning to those that pass by this door, saying this words will open it but entering beware. Beware of shadows that hide the battle of the ancients story behold inside, your answers await' Meowth gulped at that making the three humans turn looking down at him

"What the matter Meowth?" Jessie asked

"Yeah you look like you've seen a ghost" James spoke after

Meowth look up at them "I don't think this is a good idea, there is a war…"

"Just say the words to open the door, the boss is watching" Meowth looked up at a camera then turn around "Good Meowth" Maxwell said and look at the door standing over Meowth.

Meowth found the words then speak "Open the door by saying these words. Open the way, open the path show us the tower within the tower that will connect with those of the world from what all we from" Meowth said out loud but nothing happened

"You stupid pokémon! I said open the door not say some stupid poem!!!" Maxwell pulled back his arm with a fist closed and about to throw a punch at the turned around scared Meowth then the ground shakes the door starting to rise up. Maxwell and the others looking with stunning amazement as it opens.

Meowth turn around seeing it go up into the ceiling but then look ahead with the others a corridor go ahead then split into two paths up ahead on either side of the wall writing and carved images in the wall are shown, Meowth walk up pass where the door was turning to the wall it mouth open a bit looking at the images and writing each showing detailed events of a long forgotten past.

The door has opened, someone has ignored the warnings, and my eyes see nothing within this place. But they will come I can sense them. I sense a weak soul within the mass that will come, a chance of freedom has come I will take advantage of this and bring that soul to me. I will be freed and my revenge and my reign power will be fulfilled at last. I sense the others are gone, time has gone by so far and beyond no one knows of me, perfect.

"Meowth" Meowth spoke a little "Jessie, James you got to hear this, it telling about a world called Pokélonum and something about ancient pokémon having powers that used their massive power to create a Tower with the help of many pokémon, this has to be the beginning of all pokémon on Earth" Meowth spoke turning to the other.

"Pokémon history?" James frowns

"Wow who would of thought that pokémon had written history" Jessie walked up behind Meowth with James looking at the stone writing and carvings. "How is there light in here?" Jessie just noticed

Maxwell looked around "Now that is creepy"

"Pokémon power creeping you out?" Maxwell turn around to see Domino and Giovanni

"No of course not" Maxwell snapped

"Cut it out" Giovanni spoke to them both, they stopped in that second looking over at him "We found a way in quicker then I thought and this light created by some sort of hidden pokémon energy most likely stored in some crystal or orb in this so called Tower" Giovanni said walking into the entrance of the tower. "Meowth cut out looking at the useless history and find a way into the centre of this tower"

Meowth snapped out of his look at the wall then look up at the boss "Alright boss I think I know the way" Meowth turn with them following it into the tower the hidden pokémon following close behind wondering what humans doing on a forbidden island that her brother had told her to stay away.

Meowth as it leads the others through the corridors came to a stop seeing two sets of strange looking armour beamed in light Meowth look at the writing on the wall around the two floating set of armours in the small curved chamber 'Eons of Light the armour of light, Latiriuos and Latiriuas armour will always sit in remember even forgotten by time' Meowth said in it mind wondering about it.

Maxwell went up to them about to reach out but walk into a energy barrier and gets through to the floor on his back "A energy barrier?" Domino through one of her flowers at it the flower bouncing off it "more pokémon power"

"Now we finished watching the game of bouncing barriers, take us to the main chamber Meowth or you can forget that promotion" Meowth heard what Giovanni said looking at Jessie and James putting their thumbs up behind Giovanni, Meowth was now getting a bit more worried but continued to take them to the way of the main chamber.

Suddenly the hidden pokémon appears after they turn a corner looking at the two sets of armour Latias about to touch the barrier then turn to where the group went wanting to know what they are up to, she goes invisible again and follows the Team Rocket group. Latias understood the writing as well but didn't give time to read it just wanting to keep up with the group very curious on knowing what they are up to.

Soon they all walk into a massive open room Meowth stopping seeing a crystal on a staff in the floor, that look like a purplish black and just as a test Domino throw a flower at it a barrier blocking the crystal on the staff in a dome like fashion. "Another barrier" Domino said picking up the flower then looking at it for a second she thought that something was staring right at Domino.

"What the matter Domino?" Giovanni spoke she standing up turning her head to him

Domino then spoke "I don't know if this is crazy but I am very sure someone or something was staring right at me a moment ago" Giovanni with Maxwell walk up to the barrier then look at it.

Giovanni mouth open his face felt shocked "Something is here, I got a feeling that something other then us is here" Giovanni look around Maxwell looking at the crystal

"Maxwell do you feel it?" Domino spoke out to him but he was staring at the crystal still

Maxwell don't speak of my voice I like to help you, I am the guardian on this tower and the crystal can bring you power beyond your wildest dreams. Study the symbols through out the night and I will let you see what they will say then you can lower the barrier and take the crystal staff for yourself

"Maxwell!" Domino raised her voice making him jump and look at her

"I think so but it could be this pokémon power in this tower, wonder if the main source of it could be else where" Maxwell replied not telling of the voice he heard

"I think his right, this place is making me scared" James whines Jessie hitting on the head

"You coward" Jessie spat

"Knock it off, tonight we will try and learn more about this place, all of you do what you can" Giovanni then turn to head back out then look at the trio "Jessie, James and Meowth plant a trail path of tri-stands so we know how to get here again."

"Yes boss" all three said and he leaves with Domino and Maxwell. The three follow after them to pick up the equipment leaving the chamber empty once more.

The door of the tower is open and soon by sunlight motion of my plans will begin and my reign on both worlds will begin. Beware, beware is the words they should of listened now I will be back to the worlds once I was banished from in a time forgotten.
