Pokémon Halloween Special Part 2

Red, Ethan, Brendan, Lucas, Hilbert and Calem were sitting in Calem's room in the Hearthome City Pokémon Center, the book 'The History of Nightmares' in front of them. Calem had taken Hilbert with him and visited the shop again to search for another book that helped them with their understanding of Darkrai, but to no avail. And even Red, Ethan, Brendan and Lucas' search bore no fruit although they had gone through all of Hearthome city, searching through its library's, even asking Fantina for anything she might know. They had come back to the Pokémon center, utterly puzzled by this riddle set in front of them. A Pokémon created by negative emotions, a creature that created nightmares to live on, that was all it said. The scientist wrote that no matter how much he looked for clues on Darkrai he had not found anything to help him but a few stories that were orally passed on throughout the generations, thus he wrote the existence of Darkrai off as a myth, a legend. But the champions knew better than messing with legends, after all they had gained fame and glory due to these legends. Suddenly Hilbert turned to Lucas: "Hey, the former Champion of Sinnoh looked into myths and legends as a hobby right?"

Lucas immediately understood and ran out of the room, closely followed by the other Champions who gave Hilbert a pat on the back for his quick thinking. Lucas quickly occupied a phone while trainers started to notice who he was. The other Champions quickly pulled down their caps to cover their faces, or in Calem's case pulling down his hood, and they sat down at a table. Calem stood up and ordered them some drinks and some snacks while they waited for Lucas. The dining compartment of the Pokémon Center had also matched to the season, adapting a sleek black look with pumpkin lights and the occasional greens to compliment the orange and black. The furniture was in a sleek red, except for the seats themselves were covered in a green leather. The waited patiently, munching on their Munchlax cookies and sipping their drinks, in Red's Pikachu's case he ate some Poké-snacks and drank water. During their wait they saw a disheveled Lucas pass by, asking for a piece of paper and a pen and Ethan unnoticeably gestured him to go up to the room, where they would end up meeting again soon. The Champions finished their meal and walked past Lucas, who was jotting down notes while talking to a beautiful blonde lady and up to Calem's room.

They passed the rest of the time with casual conversations and shared stories for about an hour before Lucas entered the room. He carried a stack of paper with him and gave everyone else at least three pages per person. They glanced over the notes and Brendan commented: "Wow, she knows her stuff."

Everyone nodded silently in agreement while looking through the notes on Darkrai before they swapped pages. This went on until they had all read every word written by Lucas and turned to each other silently.

"This does not look good," Red broke the silence, "there is a lot written here and yet most points conflict, but one point stays the same, if someone has ever seen Darkrai, they have only seen a shadow of him and they could never make out a solid form. So this doesn't help us in our search to finding Darkrai…"

The situation looked even grimmer when Red summarized it and the Champions were thrown into silence yet again, but suddenly Calem grabbed a few papers and Ethan did the same thing. When they noticed that they had been searching for the same page they smirked at each other. The others looked puzzled but Ethan turned to them.

"It's simple, we don't look for Darkrai. We look for his counterpart, the bane of his existence, Cresselia. We don't even need to find her, we just need to lure her here, to ensure good dreams for the citizens of Hearthome City," Ethan explained.

Without hesitation they plotted a plan, it was a gamble, but this was a gamble they were willing to take.

The Next Day

Hearthome City was filled with noise since early morning, the stalls started to open although the City oriented program started in the early evening. Children already started to get their sugar high, already dressed up to look like their favorite Pokémon, and the Pokémon dressed up too look like all kinds of things, from their final evolution form to humans to even just everyday objects like a Pachirisu dressed up as a tree. It was quite the sight to behold, but this was just the beginning of the Hearthome City Halloween Festival. And albeit the day having started early for the citizens of Hearthome City, the day had started a lot earlier for the Champions. Lucas had flown away on his Staravia to Fullmoon Island with Hilbert aiding him. Ethan and Brendan had gone to Sandgem town to talk to Professor Rowan and Red and Calem had gone to Celestial town to meet Cynthia.

They both got off of their respective Charizard's and walked around before they heard a pleasant voice: "Red and Calem I presume?"

The two turned around and saw a beautiful woman, dressed in black with a coat over her black top and long black pants. Her long blonde hair decorated by black round things, which Calem had been warned not to ask about by Lucas more than once, and her piercing gray eyes staring at them.

"You presume right, is it fine if I call you Cynthia?" Red asked.

"Its fine, we're about the same age anyway," Cynthia smiled and the two Champions immediately knew that she was a down to earth person. Cynthia gestured them to follow and led them to her grandparent's house. Cynthia's grandparents were very kind people and they knew that their granddaughter had some things to discuss that were not for their ears, her younger sister not so much. Calem and Red observed how Cynthia explained the fact that there were things that she couldn't know yet, quite amused. Finally Cynthia's younger sister gave in and walked out of the house with the grandparents. Suddenly the room's atmosphere completely changed, from the happy and joyous demeanor they had shown, nothing remained, as if they had taken off a smiling mask.

"We came here to ask you for a favor," Red began, "we want you to gather Sinnoh's best trainers and we need you to help us chase Cresselia to Hearthome. It isn't a great plan, but we see no other means as she doesn't seem to be lured by anything and is quite evasive. Lucas and Hilbert, another Champion, are currently heading to Fullmoon Island and getting ready to send Cresselia towards the Sinnoh Region, we need you to help us make sure this works 100%."

"I'll do my best, but how does that help with Darkrai?" Cynthia answered after careful consideration.

"It doesn't," Calem said, "but it postpones the entire problem that might arise. We can't deal with Darkrai in just two days, we need a lot more time because there is little solid information on him. Since the goal is just to make sure that Hearthome doesn't end up in nightmares again, we decided to first use Cresselia, and use the time before the next Festival to deal with Darkrai himself."

Cynthia nodded in understanding before getting up and looking out of a window: "Why did you decide to help in a region that has nothing to do with you?"

Red saw a look on Calem's face that told him that Calem could answer this question better so he stayed quiet as he watched.

"Regions are just walls. They don't help us see the big picture. The regions are but excuses some people found to become leaders of groups because they were too egoistic. We are still all human and Pokémon aren't we?" Calem answered.

Cynthia was silenced by the answer Calem had given, the answer a fourteen year old had given. Red smiled and added something on:

"'We do have a lot in common.
The same earth, the same air, the same sky.
Maybe if we started looking at what's the same…
… instead of what's different, well, who knows?'"

Cynthia listened carefully to Red's words before smiling and walking to the door. Red and Calem understood and smiled at her while standing up. They walked out of the house, just behind Cynthia who turned to them and said: "We should get going."

2:00 PM, Hearthome City

The day was chilly, but the streets were warm. Although it was noon the cold air prickled on Calem's skin as he flew to Hearthome, yet he knew that the people in the streets didn't feel that cold. The streets had been bustling with activity and Calem asked his Charizard to fly down and they landed in an alley. Calem recalled his Charizard and walked into the street. The past few hours Red and Calem had been helping Cynthia gather the Elite four and the Gym leaders to brief them in on the situation and it had taken quite a bit of energy. The plan had already been executed and Calem had seen what means they had employed. The last he had heard of Cresselia Calem had heard that she was being chased across Mt. Coronet and her arrival was expected to be in a few minutes. But suddenly Hearthome City's dark became dark. Calem looked at the clock in the middle of the plaza which still said 2:00 PM and didn't show any sign of malfunctioning. Calem noticed something immediately, this had been Darkrai, he knew Cresselia was coming, and he knew she was weak so she couldn't break through whatever it was that he had made, and had he given her time until nightfall she would have regained her powers.

Calem ran to the Pokémon center and quickly switched out his second team, for his primary team. Without hesitation he called everyone to action and they all lined up. They immediately understood the situation, barring Charizard who had experienced everything already. They followed Calem who walked through the streets. The citizens smiling at the show, thinking it was part of the city's program. Calem looked at all of his Pokémon and gestured at one small point. All of his Pokémon understood, Charizard and Garchomp were covered in a red aura as they Dragon Danced and Latios and Vee looked at the sky, calmly. The small sound of water dripping into a pond and suddenly Latios and Vee were engulfed in a white aura as they calmed their minds. Greninja and Sceptile already started their attack, using very accurate moves to indicate the spot everyone should hit and suddenly it began. Calem revealed his mega bracelet as Garchomp, Charizard, Latios and Sceptile mega-evolved. Charizard carried Garchomp along on his back to fly up and attack the spot as the others attacked from a long range. Outrage, Dragon Claw, Draco Meteor, Leaf Storm, Hydro Pump, and a pinkish Hyper Beam all attacking one spot, which shattered and suddenly the entire dark sky shattered. Calem called back his Pokémon and saw various trainers and their Pokémon in the sky.

It had been a true sight to behold, legendary trainers all in the sky of one Halloween Festival. Calem suddenly called out his Latios and Charizard. They flew up into the sky with him and Calem said: "Guys use psychic Pokémon and fire Pokémon to create a giant Pumpkin, we also need the phrase: Trick or Treat."

Everyone understood, it was to create the façade that this had been a part of Hearthome's program. In mere seconds the sky was filled by orange fire that was arranged into a pumpkin and the phrase 'Trick or Treat' beneath it. The citizens cheered at the display of teamwork and then Hearthome's actual program started. The sky had become darker and Calem wondered why when he had looked at the clock, the clock indicated that it was 5:00 PM, it had taken them three hours to break the barrier. Suddenly he felt some people walk up to him and he asked: "So where is Cresselia?"

"Somewhere here," Lucas replied. Calem turned around to the smirking faces of the other champions.

"So, plan succeeded I guess?" Calem asked and everyone's smirk turned into a wide smile.

8:59 PM, Hearthome City

Hearthome's program was about to end with the fireworks. The festival had been wonderful, games upon games, showcase matches, great stories and so on all within the span of four hours. But it was time to end the program and just enjoy the rest of the festival, which still had a lot more to offer. The ending firework had always been impressive, incredible colors and unbelievable forms. The Champions had gathered together with Cynthia and the Sinnoh Elite four and were looking at the sky, casual chat coming up. Suddenly, the first firework went off, and then another. Everyone's attention was enraptured by the flying fireworks. The rockets exploded and formed a green Turtwig face, a red Chimchar face and a blue Piplup face. Afterwards came a gray Starly, a yellow Shinx, and a fearsome blue Garchomp.

"Well, disaster avoided I guess," Calem said as he admired the fireworks.

"Yeah, but I have this weird feeling that we will be involved in another disaster with Darkrai and some others will have to help," Red commented, and boy, he could have changed his occupation immediately to fortune teller, because he was spot on.

Somewhere in Hoenn

A girl wearing blue rectangular glasses sneezed, her long black hair falling into even more of a disarray than her costume intended. She wore a white dress and depicted a ghost. She stopped walking and looked around, puzzled.

"Kate, you coming?" A girl asked.

"Yeah, coming!" Kate shouted and ran after her friends.

Somewhere in Unova

A boy with messy hair sneezed as he walked onto a pier. He moved his midnight colored hair out of his face and looked around.

"All aboard the ship to Kalos!" A sailor shouted, "Hey Saber, you coming along?"

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that," Saber replied as he walked onto the ship.

Somewhere in Kalos

A girl with strawberry blonde hair sneezed. She righted her attire, a Delphox costume she had made with one of her best friends. When she looked for her wand, her friend handed it to her.

"What's up Serena?" The friend asked in her Eevee costume.

"Nothing much, felt like someone talked about me, let's go, else we leave Tierno and Trevor waiting, Shauna," Serena answered while grabbing the wand.

"Maybe it's Calem?" Shauna teased and Serena chased after her, blushing furiously.
