Chapter 5: A New Adventure

"No, no, no, absolutely not!"

"Grym, I must. I think I should see where all those bad things happened to me."

"Come on Grymmy, let the poor boy go."

"Yes, Grym, he should get to go see the Amp Plains again. It is vital that he knows about the Luxray clan. I am sure they will want revenge."

"I disagree, but it looks like I'm out-numbered so fine." Grym nodded. It was 13 years after Lumio the great Ampharos had died. Team Invader was no longer going out on rescues, but now they had their own school to train new Pokémon. They were Shocker's parents now too, and he had been trained in the arts of everything. Everything that is, aside from electricity, and fighting with electric type moves. Shocker badly wanted to go back to Amp Plains. He wanted revenge but he would never tell Grym, Psyoe, or Ravyn that. They loved him, like he was their own, and they had a lodging just outside Treasure Town. Shocker loved the lodging. It was built out of logs, and Shocker, Grym, Psyoe, and Ravyn had built it themselves. Everything in Treasure Town was different. Chansey's daughter Happiny, now ran the day care. Old Wigglytuff had passed away and now Bibarel ran the guild. Last but not least Team Stormcloud had died in an adventure two years ago.

So the group set out towards Amp Plains. Upon arriving they were greeted by… well nothing, Shocker remembered having this feeling. Shocker had a rare condition where he was a fast learner as a baby and could remember things that happened since he was very young. He could also read into peoples emotions by staring them in the eyes. This was called the 'Stare of Darkness'. Or at least that's what the wise and honorably Psyoe said.

As they climbed through the barren and almost deserted Amp Plains a feeling of unease enveloped them. They had not seen one Pokémon. "We must go faster," Psyoe said uneasily. Psyoe lifted his arms out of his cloak and suddenly a fierce wind picked up. The whole group was now faster. Shocker knew that this was Psyoe's tailwind ability. The group came to a huge wall of stone.

"Shocker, you can do the honors." Grym said, smiling broadly.

"Thanks Grym! Rock Smash!" The wall shattered into a million pieces. Shocker was the strongest Elekid around and he knew moves that none of the others did, because of his instructors.

It seemed to Shocker, that the group had been walking for hours, but suddenly Shocker came to a halt. He saw a small pile of rocks that looked quite familiar to him. A few steps to the right of the rocks was a huge circular space. Shocker knew he had been here before, but for some reason it wasn't quite coming back to him. "Never mind," he said, "I suppose it's nothing."

They were still walking. The landscape was still barren, and deserted. They had taken a break for lunch, and now it was afternoon, almost night. "Wait!" Ravyn hissed, "I see something." Indeed Ravyn did see something. It was a bolt of lightning, striking a Pokémon. The Pokémon liked it, it seemed to give it strength.

"I know that Pokémon," Shocker whispered, "That's Luxray." He was right. It was Luxray. He had another Pokémon with him. This one was in chains guarded by two Luxios.

Luxray began to talk, in a deep growling voice, "Here is why you are sentenced to death. You have numerous times tried to stop my master and I. You have resisted me, foolishly and protected others. You have saved lives that I have been trying to get rid of. But most of all, you have tried to raise against me a new hero. That hero is dead, and now you are dying. My master and I will succeed. Now die. Luxios!"

"Wait!!" yelled Shocker at the top of his lungs, "Don't you dare!!"
