Chapter One: Stepping Up

In a flash I'm back in Wigglytuff's guild. Surrounded by scared, shocked, horrified Pokémon. Wigglytuff's guild has become increasingly popular since the exploits of the PokéPals but most don't past the tough trials of the guild. Most of its devoted workers still remain. Wigglytuff is still the guild master. Chatot is still the annoying right-hand man, that squawking bird gets on my nerves. As I said most of the gang still are around but a few have left. Corphish, Bidoof and Croagunk have all left but new members have replaced in the form of Simisear, Simipour and Simisage. The trio of monkeys or baboons I hail them as.

"So what's the situation?" I ask confidently to everyone. Everyone turns to me and all begin to harass me with pleas and demands. "Ok, ok one at a time!" I demand. Silence falls and I smile to the sweet sound of serenity; oblivious to the dangers outside. "Where is Wigglytuff?" I ask calmly.

"He's outside with Exploud," Loudred evolved into Exploud recently and annoyingly boasted, loudly of course, about it. "They're fighting off the ruffians." Sunflora exclaims.

"Ok," I calmly say. "Keep everyone calm and in order whilst I go and help outside." I turn to Diglett and Dugtrio. "I need you two to scout out the area and get an estimate of how many were up against and I want you to be brutally honest with me when you find out." They nod like the proud soldiers they are. "Right I'll be back soon. Take care."

I teleport back out of Wigglytuff's Guild to Wigglytuff himself. He has Exploud, Marowak and Electivire with him. They're fighting off the hordes of invaders but are struggling and on the last foot. Soon I'm by Wigglytuff's side ready to lend a helping hand.

"Yooommm TAH!" Wigglytuff bellows using Hyper Voice as I arrive. He soon notices me and begins a weird but joyful dance. "Alakazam! It's great you're back!" A rouge Conkledurr attempts to attack Wigglytuff but Marowak dives in front of the way taking the blow full on. It was a brutal critical hit!

"Marowak!" Electivire Volt Tackles Conkledurr and picks up Marowak in his arms. Marowak's body goes limp. His skull helmet cracked. He's dead. Another before my eyes. Dead in front of me. Wigglytuff begins to cry and morn for Marowak but the sadness turns to venomous anger.

"Electivire, Exploud. Go back to the Guild and look after the others. Me and Alakazam will sort things out here."Electivire looks in shock. His face hungry for revenge he doesn't move. He stays still with Marowak in his arms. "Go! It's an order!" Electivire looks solemnly at Marowak's cracked skull and begrudgingly enters the guild leaving me and Wigglytuff with the onslaught. "So where's Machamp?" I scowl at the floor. Still beating myself up mentally for what happened. "I see. Well don't blame yourself. Loss is only natural and you just have to accept it. You can't do anything when the time comes. You just have to accept." These words hit me hard and for a moment my guard was let as a Sableye sends a Shadow Ball towards me. Quickly I jump backwards and send my own Shadow Ball and both of them clash but mine was stronger and defeats the Sableye. After that confrontation there was a brief moment of silence. Not peace. We both knew that the fight wasn't won yet. We take cover in a ditch created from the attacks. "There's a vigilante in Treasure Town. Fighting against the onslaught just like you and me. I've seen some Pokémon go flying near Persian's Bank; but that was an hour ago."

"Didn't you evacuate everyone to the guild though?"

"I did. I think this vigilante is an outsider and we don't know his or her's intentions." I crouched in amazement in Wigglytuff's seriousness. Never have I've seen him so serious. He's always carefree and asleep for that matter. "So I want you to find this vigilante, wherever he or she may be."

"Ok but what if they're dead?"

"They won't be. I can tell. Now go but be careful!"

I quickly make way towards Persian's Bank. I don't look back at Wigglytuff I just go forward since Treasure is flooded with enemies. I'm not even in the heart of town and I've fought off a Mawile by sending it crashing down a hill by using Ice Punch. A pack of Mightyenas which I just escaped by teleporting. I've noticed how much more stronger, quicker and more violent Pokémon have gotten. Is there any answer to all this madness? What's behind this chaos. Right now I got to find this unsung hero but does he/she exists? Could Wigglytuff have seen things. They could be dead even. Well there's only one way to find out; and that's fighting through this apocalypse!
