"Hello, Rae." Professor Oak said as he walked over to me while I was sitting on his computer. "Did you find the entries you were looking for?"

I nodded as I clicked around. "You've got extensive research on all the Pokemon." I said, clearly impressed.

He sat down on the office chair next to me. "What are you looking for?" He asked as he looked over my shoulder.

I pulled up five entries I had been looking at. He nodded as he rolled closer. "The Legendary Birds?"

"Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres I figured he must have for sure." I nodded, scrunching my face. "I've looked and looked at the other entries, and I can't figure the others out." I looked at my Pokeballs. "I'm screwed if he does have Articuno. The Dragon Warrior prefers Dragons." I said, referring to myself stupidly in third person.

"What is your team?" Oak inquired.

"Charizard, Salamance, Dragonite, Garchomp, Kingdra, Espeon and Kabutops."

He nodded, "I think your Charizard would be able to take it out quickly enough." He said, thinking. "But what other Legendries would he have? Assuming he does have them."

"That's where I'm stuck." I said, rubbing my temples. "It could be the Regis. It could be no one."

"If it is the Regies, you could have to face a Regice. Can you handle it?"

I drew in a breath. "I… I think so."

"Do you know the legends of the Regies?" I shook my head as he continued. "Regice, Registeel, and Regirock were all made by Regigigas, but once people noticed how powerful they were, they split them up."

"So if I find Regigigas, I have a shot!" I said, jumping up, and then sat back down. "But I have no idea where."

"And that's where I come in." Oak said, getting on the computer. "Go pack, I'll have the exact coordinates for you when you finish. Be ready to face the cold, you're heading to Snowpoint City." Oak paused for a second, thinking, "Take Paul and Dawn with you."

I nodded. "Be back in an hour."

"Don't forget warm clothing!" He yelled as I walked out the door, off to find the two.

"Dawn, Paul, so will you?" I asked, looking between the couple. "I don't want to take Gary, and the Professor feels that this will be the best way for me to be prepared." I said, pleadingly.

"Yes!" Dawn shrieked. "I love that area, and we can get new outfits!"

I sweat dropped. "Sure. If that's what it will take to take you, I'll buy new outfits."

Paul rolled his eyes. "I'm in too. Gary would kill me if I let you go on your own."

"Dawn. We're going to Snowpoint for possibly two days." I said, looking down at my clothes. "Isn't this a little much?" I had my hair pulled back into a ponytail as Dawn placed a purple and black striped knitted hat on my head. I wore a grey turtleneck and grey leggings with purple boots to my knee and a purple coat with black trim that reached mid-thigh with a purple belt. Dawn was dressed similar, but in a knee long pink trench coat with a giant scarf under her neck. Paul dressed simply in jeans and a heavy coat, all of us holding bags with our Pokemon.

"Ahh, perfect." Professor Oak said as he walked into the room. "You all ready?" We nodded collectively as he handed me the data he had gotten out of his research. "Regigigas is found in a temple north of Snowpoint City."

Gary walked in, stretching and yawning from his nap. He gave everyone a once over, and went to grab some juice. He quickly turned around and looked at me again. "May I ask where you guys are going?"

"They're going to catch Regigigas." Professor Oak replied to his grandson. "She'll be fine; Paul and Dawn are going with her."

Gary sighed. "What if Drake is there, Rae? He probably is searching for Regigigas."

"Then I'll battle him for it." I stated simply, my arms crossed. "Gary, I've got my xtransiever, and I've got Paul and Dawn and my Pokemon. I think I'll be fine."

Gary looked over at his grandfather. For a few seconds, I thought that he was going to call it off. I bit my lip as I looked between the two of them; finally Gary nodded at his grandfather and came close to me, pulling me to his chest.

Shocked, I wrapped my arms around him and leaned my head against his chest. "Gary, I've got to do this."

He nodded. "I know. Doesn't mean I have to like it." He said, running his hand through my hair and giving me a peck on the top of my head. "But I have to let you, seeing as this may give you an edge over Drake." He looked over at Paul, never letting go of me, even pulling me closer. "Paul, take care of her for me, will you? If she does anything boneheaded, get her out of there."

Paul nodded. "Of course." He grunted, pulling Dawn closer. "I understand. She'll come back in one piece."

Gary spun me around, giving one last peck on the lips. "Good luck, beautiful" He whispered, letting go of me.

Gary POV:

"Clever move, Grandpa." I said, sitting down at his computer. "Are you sure these are the coordinates for where Drake is suspected to be located?"

He nodded. "Unless he moved, that's where the black band was made, in Oreburgh City."

"Completely opposite where you just sent Rae to." I said with a smile. Gramps could be clever and sneaky when he wanted to be.

"Exactly," Gramps said as he shuffled papers. "Take Ash if you're going, and keep in touch."

"I will." I said with a smirk, knowing that he had ended up sending Rae on a wild goose chase, and completely out of danger.

"Gary, are you sure this is it?" Ash asked as we walked the building in Oreburgh city. "It just… it seems to empty to be Drake's hideout."

"You're right." I replied, confused. Beside me walked Arcanine and Umbreon, while Ash had Pikachu out walking beside him. We had just entered a giant stadium, the north walls dark with shadows. "This is just…"

"A diversion." A man with green hair said, walking out of the shadows. He had a Drapion walking next to him, glaring straight at me. "Your little girlfriend might have been able to defeat Lucian, but we'll see how you stand against me!" Aaron of the Elite Four motioned for his Pokemon to take center stage.

"Gary, you taking him?" Ash asked, watching him with wary eyes. I nodded as I recalled both Arcanine and Umbreon.

"Electivire, come on out!" I yelled, letting him out of the Pokeball. "What is Drake trying to divert my attention from?" I called across from the stadium. Aaron just smirked.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He said with a chuckle. My mind raced, surely they weren't after Rae, she had just decided she was going, and the gym was too well protected for them to get in. I thought I heard a voice call my name, but shook it off and focused.

"Electivire, Swift." I said while Electivire shot stars from its tail. "Now, Fire Punch." I said, as Drapion moved closer to Electivire.

"Dodge!"

"Again!" I yelled as Electivire slammed its flaming fist into the Drapion, one time after another.

"Pin Missile!" Aaron yelled, but it was too late. Electivire had hit Drapion once too many. I grinned in satisfaction as Drapion fainted away with Electivire yet to take a hit. I looked at his belt in shock, only to see one more Pokeball as he returned Drapion to its Pokeball. I recalled Electivire, sending out my Arcanine. Arc and I waited anxiously as he grabbed his other Pokeball.

"Go, Yanmega!" Aaron said, sending out the large Dragon Fly Pokemon, making me automatically think of Rae. I clenched my fist as I nodded at Arcanine.

"You know what to do." I stated simply. Arcanine barked in response, bringing quickly a Flamethrower to its mouth. It released it while howling, shooting at both Yanmega which seared its wings, and Aaron who had to duck out of the way.

"Mega!" The Yanmega cried as it was forced to land, sending a powerful Ancient Power attack at Arcanine and me, causing myself to have to jump out of the way from being hit by a rock. I watched as Arcanine took one hard to the stomach. It struggled to get up, but launched one last Flamethrower attack, knocking out both itself and the Yanmega.

Aaron gave a strange laugh, putting Ash and I on guard as he took a step towards us. "I did my job no matter what. You were successfully distracted while Drake reached contact with Rae." He appraised our looks of astonishment. "See you soon!" He yelled, throwing a smoke ball to the floor.

Ash let out his Swellow, having it beat the smoke away as I fumbled with my xtransiever. "Paul, come in. Are you there?" I waited for a moment, staring at the device. After trying Rae with no luck either, I attempted Dawn. "Dawn?"

"Gary?" Dawn's voice asked. It sounded like she had been crying.

I bit my lip before continuing. "Should I be worried right now?"

"Paul's knocked out cold with Rae battling Drake for Regigigas and her safety." Dawn replied, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Wait, they're battling?" I asked as Ash and I rushed out of the mining hideout. I let out my Aerodactyl, jumping on. "I'm on my way." I said, as Aerodactyl and I flew off, Ash not far behind. "Just stay calm."

Rae POV:

"Someone beat us here." Paul said, looking at the set of footprints leading into the majestic temple. It had four pillars in front, with a large slab door that had to have been moved before we had gotten there. "Rae, I think we need to turn back."

"You two can, I'm going to catch that Pokemon." I said determinedly. Paul nodded as he attempted to radio in to Gary. I frowned when I realized the plum haired boy was having no luck.

Paul looked up, trying to decide whether to pull me kicking and screaming away, or to let me go. He looked over at Dawn who nodded, letting out her Quilava who burned holes in the ice. He looked over to me where Espeon was at my side and another Pokeball in my hand. "Alright. We'll go in." He said to my surprise, letting out Frosslass. "On one condition: both of you stay behind me and listen. If I say run, run. If I say leave, leave. Got it?"

I knew this was the only way I'd have a chance at going in there and attempting to grab Regigigas. "Alright." I said motioning for him to lead the lay as Dawn nodded. He turned, walking up and through the door as Dawn and I followed. It was dark and damp inside, patches of ice almost becoming unsafe to cross, except when Quilava used Ember as directed by Dawn.

We reached another giant door; whoever got through was careless, just blasting a hole through the middle of door. Paul stopped for a moment and looked back at me. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Paul, I need to." I said, looking at the hole. "Obviously someone is trying to get Regigigas too."

"I know." He replied, looking at Dawn and I. "That's what I'm worried about."

He walked through the wall, Dawn following with me coming along after them. The room was enormous, with Regigigas standing in the middle, looking at me through its eyes intensely. That's when I heard the crash, and Paul jumped in between Dawn and I, and Drake.

"So glad you could make it, Dragon Warrior. I was worried you wouldn't come." Drake said with a grin, staring at me with a gleam in his eyes. "I don't think Gary would be too please I'm here, but I kept him busy."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, my voice quavering.

He smirked. "He didn't tell you? As soon as you left, he went to hunt me down. Of course, he thought you would be safer up here, all the way up here, away from where he thought I was." He walked closer, Paul taking a step back, trying to keep the distance even. "Of course, he didn't realize that I had foreseen you coming after Regigigas and came to wait for you. Although Gary's probably having the time of his life taking on Aaron of the Elite Four."

I felt betrayed. "You're wrong." I stated, stepping in front of Paul. "What do you want, Drake?" My stomach sank, realizing now that's why Gary wouldn't answer. I just hoped he was okay.

He had to be okay, right?

Drake kept the smirk plastered on his face as he looked me and Espeon up and down. "I heard you got your old team back together, even using a couple of your late father's Pokemon." I took a step back as he said that, Paul pulling me behind him. "Now, now, Paul, I don't mean any trouble. I won't hurt the poor girl like her father… for now." Drake to where Dawn was behind him. "And who is this lovely lady you have with you?" He asked, staring at her with a gleam in his eye. "She's mighty beautiful."

Paul lunged towards Drake, going to punch him when Kadabra got in his way, using Telekinesis to throw Paul out of the way. Frosslass stayed in front of Dawn and I, as Magmortar popped out of its Pokeball to protect the knocked out Paul. I grabbed my own Pokeball and sent out Kabutops as Drake let out a chuckle. "I was only kidding, you know." He said, looking at where Paul laid. Dawn was watching him with concern, tears in her eyes.

We were backed into a corner. I had Frosslass, Espeon and Kabutops in front of Dawn and me with Quilava at her side. Paul was showing no signs of moving but had his massive Magmortar protecting him. Drake had Kadabra in front of him, hindering any movement towards him. "Drake, how 'bout this. You and I battle, one Pokemon each. Winner takes Regigigas."

"And what happens if I win? Let you go free?" He asked, clearly interested. I shook my head as Dawn looked at me in shock. "If I win, you must leave, let me capture Regigigas, and let us go free. If you win, you capture Regigigas and can take me with you, but you must let Paul and Dawn goes free." I said, anger boiling beneath me as I tried to race to figure out which Pokemon he would use.

"Sounds fair." Drake said as he pulled out a different Pokeball. "I accept."
