Well, this is the finale of one of my most favorite stories I've ever written! I do hope you all enjoy this story and I'd like to ask you all to review to tell me what you think of this story and the characters me and my friends have designed.
I finished this while on vacation and am so happy to finally release for the public to read! Big thanks to Natane for proof-reading this and fixing what she could XD.
Now there is a surprise at the end and I do hope you all enjoy the teaser... Anyways! Enjoy the finale of the Rise of the Johto Elite!
Johto is known for many things, but something new was pushing through the sky at the top of Mount Silver, breaking through the clouds and standing high over the Johto Region. A construction project had been taking place, a project so hush-hush that not even the workers knew what it was for.
The building had been completely built, only having taken a few months to complete. The entire tower stood at ten stories tall, mirroring the Bell Tower which stood high in the west of Ecruteak. The outer walls of the tower were a dark blue, the color of the sea deep down under the waves. Word was that only the top and bottom floors had been constructed and furnished, the remaining floors left barren and untouched.
Several trainers had arrived and they were on their way to the top floor. Unbeknownst to those who had arrived at the tower, something was soon to take place. This something would change both the region and the lives of those that were arriving forever.
Brenda yawned as she sat up, grunting when she arched her back and heard the pop as she cracked it. She sighed and opened her eyes, only to find herself shutting them from the glare of light in her eyes. As she opened them again, she cast her eyes about the room she sat in, finding that she was not alone in this strange place she was waking up in. She distinctly remembered being in a small forest just outside of Azalea Town, next to some weird shrine when she went to sleep. Brenda took a good look around when she saw exactly what had caused the sudden shift in scenery: her Alakazam stood over her, looking at her carefully.
As he reached out to try helping her up, Brenda shoved him away moodily, pouting as she kept her eyes closed from the glare of the light. "Go away... Why did you teleport me? And where did you teleport me?" She opened her eyes fully, the glare finally gone as she took stock of her surroundings. She sat in a nicely furnished room that held several people and Pokemon. Across from her sat a pair of men, one wearing some ridiculous fluffy jacket and the other a bright red hoodie. To her left sat a cute guy who had a pair of strange goggles on his head and a cloak around his neck, the end of the cloak draped over the back of the chair he sat on. His hair was sandy, literally having little specks of sand in his tanish brown hair.
To her right was a young woman, her very militaristic look gave Brenda a slight pause before she continued examining the woman. She was muscular, something easily seen as her sleeveless shirt showed off her large muscles and the tightness of it also gave a good view of her muscular chest and that her breasts would probably be no more than a B-cup. The holster on the woman's leg gave Brenda cause for concern before she noticed that nothing was in the holster itself. She noted that the woman was rather hot, and she had to look away before her imagination went wild. She sat up and looked down to see she had been sleeping on a rather comfy couch, and she spun so that her feet would be on the floor.
She hesitated before she whispered to her Alakazam. "So... Why am I in a room surrounded by people who I've never met?" Alakazam looked at her, his voice deep and calm as he spoke to her. We were summoned by someone of great power and respect. I suggest you greet these people. Brenda stuck her tongue out at Alakazam before she returned him, looking at the other people gathered here.
"So who are you all? My name is Brenda, though all my friends call me Mocha." The guy in the fluffy jacket grinned widely at her and spoke first, introducing himself and the guy sitting next to him as Chris and Bruno Delvarious. Mocha sucked in a breath as her eyes grew wide. "Oh. My. Arceus!" She squealed in glee and nearly jumped on them, dropping to her knees before them and looking up at them with wide eyes. "OhmyArceus you guys are amazing! I have all your songs on my Bulbapod and you guys are just so hot, can I please have your autograph?! Pleasepleaseplease!"
Bruno laughed and smiled at her energy, nodding his head. "Thanks for the compliment, but we're supposed to be meeting someone in a bit, maybe later ok?" Brenda's eyes dropped and she lowered her head in sadness, turning around and making her way back to the couch, sitting down and pouting. The other man spoke up, and Mocha turned her head to look at him. "My name's Draknos Sandrake, I was also called here by someone. Said it was of the utmost importance and so I came quickly."
Bruno nodded and crossed his arms. "Same here. We came because it was an order by someone high up as even DJ, our Rotom, forced us to come here, and he organizes all our important events. I actually saw him wipe our schedule clean just so we could come here for this meeting." Chris looked over at the woman and raised an eyebrow, a charming smile growing on his face as he began to speak to the woman. "What about you Ms. Silent? What's your name and why are you here?"
She turned to him, a look of annoyance on her face. Her voice was tough yet feminine, and Mocha felt herself smile as she heard her speak, liking the sound of her voice. "Name's Luna and I only came because my dad told me to." Chris smirked and winked at her charmingly, and Brenda felt jealous that Chris had winked at this 'Luna' lady. "A daddy's girl, huh? I can be your daddy..."
Luna looked at him with disgust, shaking her head. "Sorry 'Daddy' but this is a girl's only playhouse. I only let girls play with this doll." Brenda thought she saw Luna glance at her for a moment but she shook her head, thinking that it was just a trick of the light. Brenda sighed and leaned back, stretching herself out as she lay back. "I just want to know where I am and why I'm here. I was going to Mount Silver to check out that new tower that was built."
Draknos looked at her with a raised eyebrow, smiling slightly. "Where do you think we are? We are sitting on the top floor of the new tower waiting for whoever called this meeting to show up, if they ever do. I'm getting sick of this waiting."
"Well you don't have to wait any longer. I have arrived." The voice came from behind Brenda, deep and powerful. She frowned, recognizing the voice from somewhere. She started to speak as she turned around. "And who are yooooouuuuu..." As she turned her eyes caught the silver hair that sparkled before her eyes took in the sight of the Johto Champion standing in all his glory. Brenda was speechless, unable to speak as her mouth opened and shut as she tried to take in the fact that the strongest trainer in all of Johto was standing in front of her and smiling AT HER.
Just as she opened her mouth to squeal, Eon moved up to her swiftly and put a finger to her mouth to silence her. "Luke told me about those outbursts of yours. Try to keep calm for now. I need to make a little speech." Brenda closed her mouth and nodded; her eyes wide as she listened to one of her biggest idols speak to them all and pace around them in a circle.
"When I challenged the Pokemon League in order to become the Johto Champion I was shot down. They felt that Johto didn't need a Champion, but I proved them wrong. In the span of a week I went across the country and beat every Gym Leader in this beautiful land without once healing my Pokemon or any one of my Pokemon fainting. It was the most difficult challenge I had ever faced in my life."
Brenda nodded rapidly as she listened to the tale. She had read up on the Champions past when she was traveling, wanting to know more about the man known as the Angel. "About three years ago I was enlightened by someone whose name I won't mention. All I will say is that what he said to me got me thinking very hard on this particular subject. About a year ago I set in motion a plan to change the very foundation of the Johto Pokemon League. I sent out the members of my family to begin a search for individuals who had exceptional skills in terms of Pokemon Battling so that I could gather them and give them this same speech."
Eon stood between Luna and Brenda, his eyes moving along those gathered before he smiled. "I wish to formally invite you to become the first ever Johto Elite Four." The room was silent for a moment before it exploded in sound, Bruno and Chris talking excitedly as Brenda screamed in excitement and talked rapidly to herself. The only silent ones were Luna and Draknos, both thinking silently to themselves.
Brenda babbled almost incoherently, but fell silent as she really began to process what he just said. Her as one of the Johto Elite... Such a prospect frightened her as she did not know if she would be able to handle such a task. As she opened her mouth, a voice spoke over her: Draknos. "How did you pick us? Did you hear about us or what?" Eon shook his head, walking around the group slowly. "No, I learned about each of you through a member of the Angelos family."
He gestured to Brenda. "My son told me about you, and I did some research of my own on you, Brenda." He looked at Draknos. "My wife heard about you from Misty, and I did some research into your skills, Weatherman."
He turned his head towards the two brothers who looked at him with an intense gaze, curious on who had suggested them to this man of great prestige. "You two I heard about from my daughter. Also, you'll make a nice change of pace for an Elite Four." Finally he turned to Luna and smiled lightly as he examines her. "And you know how you were chosen."
Luna spoke up, pointing at the twins. "What about them? Are they going to fight for a spot in the Elite Four?" The Champion shook his head and smiled. "They will be a tag team, just like Tate and Liza from Johto. They will be a formidable pair as the trainers will be unprepared for their skills as a team."
Brenda bit her lip as she tried not to ask the question that nagged at her mind. Eon saw her nervousness and raised an eyebrow. "What is it Brenda? Is something troubling you?" She nodded, looking at the ground so as not to choke up in front of the Champion. "How... How do you know we are all fit to be elite four...?" Eon kneeled down in front of her with a warm smile, lifting her chin with a finger as his friendly gaze put Brenda at ease. "Because even if my family can't judge a trainer, and they can, I can usually judge a trainers skill just by looking at them. So relax, you'll be a great part of the team."
He stood and cast his gaze across everyone in the room, smiling. "So, any questions?" Luna nodded, waving her hand out in front of her. "Why are we in this tower and what is it for?" Eon smirked and clapped his hands together, rubbing them together excitedly. "Well ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to formally welcome you to the Risen Tower, the location of the new Johto Pokemon League. You will each have your own personal rooms and your own personal arenas built to your exact specifications. You will live here, train here, and battle here."
Bruno opened his mouth and Eon raised a finger to shush him, shaking his head. "You are not forced to live here, but think of the tower as your own personal headquarters that you don't need to pay taxes on. This is a Pokemon League Building and as such is exempt from taxes."
"You will receive a paycheck when the Johto Elite Four is officially announced and you will get your paychecks monthly. It's up to you how you spend your money, and you will be invited to all Pokemon League functions and activities. You will meet the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champions from other Regions, and will be a part of my extended family." Eon looked at each of them in turn before he smiled widely. "So what do you say?"
Brenda hesitated before she nodded, smiling widely. "Count me in!" Draknos smiled and nodded. "I'm in too." Bruno and Chris muttered between themselves before Bruno turned to Eon and nodded. "Yeah, but we have some particulars we need to work out." Eon nodded and placed his hands behind his back. "We can work those out momentarily, but first... Luna?"
The entire group turned to her and she sniffed lightly before shrugging and pointing lazily at Brenda. "If the cute ones in, I'm in too." Brenda's face grew bright red and she looked down sheepishly, embarrassed.
Eon turned and walked to a wall, signaling for the others to follow him. He led them to the far wall and stood with his hands behind his back. "You are now five of the most important trainers in this land and this-" He tapped his foot and the wall itself became transparent and looked out upon the entire Johto Region. "-is your region."
The view was fantastic, the tower so high up that it could see out far out to even the whirl islands, which was just in view. Behind them the mountain range between Johto and Kanto blocking most of the view into Kanto, but the towers height allowed it to see Saffron city and the cities around that distance away, and even Lavender Town off in the distance.
Days after the secret meeting that was held in the uppermost section of the tower, work began taking place on each of the new Elite Fours rooms and arenas. Each one was designed according to each person's wishes, likes, and dislikes. There had also been accommodations made for each of the trainers Pokemon, so they could relax in the room or explore the tower if they wished.
Draknos' room was first. His room was very much based on ancient cultures and deserts, the rooms walls and ceiling itself engineered to have the image of a sandstorm whirling around inside. The actual items within were sparse, even the bed only being a sleeping bag with multiple sleeping areas for his other Pokemon. The others were confused by his lack of anything in his room, but he said the feeling of sleeping in a sandstorm was calming.
His arena sat on top of his room, and also accented his skill in sandstorms. The floor was made of several layers of very soft and light sand. The walls and ceiling of the room had small fans built in so that when one of Draknos' Pokemon kicked up a sandstorm, it would rage constantly and never end. It had a direct connection to Draknos' room so that he could head right up into his arena for training or a battle against a new challenger.
Brenda's residence was next, much more fancy than Draknos' very boring home. It was big, the walls and floor interactive so Brenda could pull a picture she had been working on towards her before continuing it as she ate breakfast or prepared for bed. Her bed was huge, big and deep purple on color. Huge fluffy pillows sat against the headboard and she could use them for pillow fights if she wanted. Her kitchen was filled with snacks and soda, as she had a big sweet tooth that she couldn't help but love.
Her arena was interesting however. The ceiling looked like the unobstructed night sky, and lines of light would draw themselves between the stars as they fought. The battlefield itself seemed to be one big drawing that shifted and changed, the landscape of the battlefield changing drastically with each new thing 'drawn' in.
The next floor had Bruno and Chris' apartment. Their room had been soundproofed numerous times and the two of them had officially declared it as the relaxation and partying room. The floor of the room was soft carpet, meaning that they could walk around barefoot on the floor. The couches were all fluffy and you could sink into the cushions. Three big couches sat around a massive flat screen TV, which was really four flat screen TV's combined together to make one big one. Behind the couches sat the bar, hundreds of drinks from all corners of the globe lining the wall of the bar. Beneath the TV was an array of gaming consoles and several controllers so that those who stayed could game to their hearts content. There was even a little booth for DJ to relax in and play his music.
The arena for the twins sat as with the others above: it seemed normal at first until the battle would start. As the battle played, music would play around them, soft enough so that the Pokemon could hear their trainers, but loud enough to be audible. The walls also registered the different sounds and bar scales on the walls shot up and down in time with the music.
Luna's residence was the last of the Elite Four, and one of the more strange ones. It also had a large bed like Mocha's but it was a deep green. Along the walls sat dozens of weapons of all kinds. Apart from the weapons lining the walls it seemed like a standard apartment: a TV on the wall, a couch with a coffee table in front of it, a medium sized kitchen, but apart from the other areas the Pokemon had an entirely different place to stay in, and they would have to be careful around the stuff in Luna's house as she wanted it nice and pristine.
The place Luna's Pokemon stayed was actually the Arena that was above her home, massive rocks and boulders littering the battlefield. The walls had movies playing across then to make it seem like they were in a war zone; soldiers and Pokemon charging around them on the walls while planes and Pokemon zoomed overhead on the ceiling. The battlefield actually had changing conditions, say if a plane were to crash then the rocks and rubble would move as though something had crashed, making it a constantly changing battlefield.
The last floor was Eon's room, but nothing was known about it save the fact that the legendary Lugia lived on the same floor, as well as Eon's wife.
The roof of the entire tower, which swayed back and forth lightly, much of the wind which would hit it knocked away by Claydol who generated a barrier around the final arena. It was flat, with nothing special about it. Two circular platforms would be raised up above the battlefield as the Claydol morphed the field to make sure the Pokemon would not fall off, nor damage anything as the attacks would be absorbed into the shield around the battlefield. Shields had to be generated around the trainers as the combat that happened there was on a level much higher than most. There were also cameras everywhere on the roof so that battles would be broadcast to the entire region, and even farther out if people wanted to watch it.
One month after tower completion
Eon stood in front of camera crews and many gathered people who sat shocked as he spoke. He announced that he had fully developed the Johto Elite Four. And all the new changes that would be made to those trainers who would have normally fought the Kanto Elite Four and Champion would instead travel up Mount Silver and then finally face the Johto Elite Four.
In Saffron City the news was blaring about the recent revelation of the Johto Elite Four, but a single person stood out from those who watched it. She watched it from a coffee shop, watching it silently with her bright blue eyes. The black corset she wore clung tightly to her body and made her C-cup breasts more pronounced. Her short blond hair had been ruffled and stood up. Her attractive appearance caught a few eyes as she examined the TV silently, a blank expression on her face.
She was shaken out of her stupor by the feeling of a voice entering her mind, the voice of the person who had raised her and trained her to use her powers, a psychic with power beyond any other. Come. It is time we complete your training. The woman stood and stretched out before she disappeared in a flash, teleporting away without seeming to flinch or even concentrate.
She appeared elsewhere, high on a mountaintop where a lake surrounded a pillar of stone in the center. She was within this pillar of stone and she looked up at the psychic that called her. His long purple tail waved back and forth slowly in the air as he looked out onto the lake itself. Mewtwo turned to look at the woman, and a rare smile graced his face as he looked at her, before his face became blank once again. Are you ready, Eve?
She nodded and spoke, her confident voice echoing out as she set herself down a path that would force the world to finally see her for what she was, and what she could do. "Yes. I am ready."
Eve: Finally! You've kept me cooped up for far too damn long! Bastard...
Lucious: Hey, you are going to be free, just give me time to get the story out! Mewtwo, handle her.
Mewtwo: Sorry Eve. Don't bother him.
