Hi everyone, oh and sorry if you're having a hard time keeping up with all the characters, and there's more to come…sorry, please forgive! Anyways, I'm glad you're enjoying the story and all, yes there are a lot of characters, but please bare with me. Readers, read on!

Raikou's POV

I finally got home to Entei, he was lazing around with Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno. They fallowed him everywhere, they where like his groupies. "Hello losers." I said to the triplets, and then I turned to my brother. "Where have you been?" He growled at me and stood up real slowly, what a drama queen. "I was looking for Suicune." He raised an eyebrow at me. "Really? Any luck?"

"Actually, yes." I said with grin. This made him even more interested. He stepped up to me. "So, you found our rebellious little brother? So what was he doing, whoring himself to a male Pokemon, I suppose." Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos all laughed in these annoying voices, I got sort of mad inside. "Entei, I'm serious."

"As am I."

"I don't think you should talk about our brother that way." He changed the subject. "Anyway, really what was he doing?"

"Just hanging out."

"With whom?" My brother tries to sounded really smart some times when he hangs out with his three bitches. They are pretty impressed too, that's why they're always fallowing around like he's Arceus all mighty. "With an Arcanine."

"A what?

"Arcanine, that fire type dog Pokemon with stripes and everything."

"I think I heard of one, but anyhow, what in Arceus's name would he want to do that for? Is he that thick? Tell me where to find him."

"Why, what are you going to do to him?"

"Kick his ass all the way back home, of course. He should know better, don't you think?" I didn't say anything, I wanted to fight back, but I don't think I really could, plus if I did Moltres and his brothers would jump in too. Those idiots don't know anything about fair fighting, and if they do they don't care. "Entei, you really don't have to get Suicune. He should be on his way here anyways."

"Nonsense, I want to see the look on his face when he finds out I know, it'll be priceless. Come on boys." He said springing off. The triplets went after him, I started to go after them, but something stopped me. I just couldn't find the courage to do it. I really hope Suicune wont be mad at me, this is sort of my fault.

Suicune's POV

I was walking along side Bark, he looked really depressed. I would be too, Flair was like family to him. "Hey, don't look so sad. It'll get better, I promise." I said giving him a reassuring grin. He gave me a weak smile but it quickly faded away. "Suicune, what does it feel like to loose someone?"

"You aren't going to loose her, Bark."

"I… what do you think it feels like to loose someone, I mean really loose someone, like forever?"

"I couldn't tell you, but you don't have to worry, we'll get through this." I did have my doubts, but I couldn't show him that. That would just make him feel worse.

We started down this path with a lot of trees and stuff. The scent of the trainer was getting stronger, a lot of the trees where destroyed by an obviously huge Pokemon, probably Tyranatar, so many bad guys liked to keep Tyranatar, it gave them a bad reputation. Anyhow, I started to hear the gush of water, I could smell it too, it was apparently pretty clean. A lot of humans probably didn't travel around here. When we got out of the bushes, I saw a cave, there was running water in there too, I looked inside, but the scent was gone. "Hmm, it's all gone all of a sudden." I said sniffing around again, he probably got into the water again, great, water tracking is hard, even for water Pokemon. I started to wonder if the man went into the ocean, but somehow I doubted it. I went up to the water and sniffed, but when I did I got this tickling feeling inside my nose, this was salt water. "Hey Bark, this river here leads to the ocean, I can smell it."

"Huh… oh yeah I know, this is near New Bark town, that's where Flair's from. Then all of a sudden, I started to get this weird feeling I couldn't explain it. The thing I had around my neck, the one the Lapras gave me started to glow, that's when Bark first noticed it. "Suicune, what is that, and what's happening to it?"

"I don't know, I got it from a Lapras, but now it's acting all weird." Then all of a sudden the sea started to bubble and whirl, the clouds turned thick and the wind started to pick up. The first signs of a storm, then all of a sudden, something busted through the surface of the water and it started to rain, I mean really rain. "Wha-Suicune?" the Pokemon said to me, I recognized the Pokemon instantly. I turned to Bark, but he was hiding behind me, I didn't blame him, it was a pretty scary thing to see if you weren't used to it. "Hey Bark it's okay." I said in a soothing tone of voice, but he didn't move. "What is that?"

"This is a friend of mine, Kyorge. Don't be afraid, she's really nice." Bark started to come out from behind me, but still stayed close to my side, we where so close where touching a little, I could feel his body trembling. "H-hello…" He started, but Kyorge reached a fin out of the water to shake… um hands. This just scared Bark more. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know he'd be so scared of me."

"It's alright Kyorge." I said leaning against Bark a little. Feeling my body against his he stopped shaking. "Y-you're another legendary Pokemon, aren't you?" She nodded her head, after all she was. She was even stronger than I was. "So, Kyorge what brings you to Johto? I thought you didn't like it here."

"I don't, I mean the ocean is lovely, and so interesting, but there's so much land and high mountains and such. It reminds me of Groudon. That's why I stay away from this place, Hoenn has I think more water, but it's definitely deeper." It did have much deeper water, that's why it was the first region humans actual started exploring underwater. I looked at Bark who looked a little bit more relaxed, then at Kyorge who was looking at me kind of funny. "Suicune, where did you get that?"

"What?"

"That thing around your neck, where did you get it?" She said moving closer to me, I just looked at it. "Oh, this, a Pokemon gave it to me. Why?"

"Do you know what that is?"

"Not really."

"This… this is The Sea Jewel." I kinda tilted my head. "What's that?"

"You mean… Entei never told you?" I nodded slowly. My idiot brother was always supposed to tell me something, but he didn't. I sighed. "So, what is it for? Where did it come from?"

"Well, it all started a long time ago. You do know of the sea temple, don't you?" I nodded, almost every Pokemon knew about the sea temple, except for… "What's that?" Bark asked confused, Kyorge sort of stared at me, and then she stared at him. He stepped back nervously. "S-sorry for asking."

"I'm not mad, I'm just surprised there's a Pokemon out there that actually doesn't know what it is. The Temple of the Sea is where I live. Many water Pokemon live their too, it's a beautiful place, really. It comes to surface every now and then, then it gently floats back down. Anyway, there are several treasures down there, that necklace is one of them, or at least it used to be. However, this one was not human made like the others, I made this one."

"You?"

"Yes, me and Lugia both made it together to celebrate the creation of our egg."

"Legendary Pokemon can make eggs? How?" Bark asked curiously. Kyorge stared at him again for a long time. I nudged him "Uh… Bark." Bark blinked a few times, then he blinked once more slowly and his eyes grew large. "Oh! Legendary Pokemon can have… oh okay." I turned back to Kyorge. "Go on."

"Yes, well it was in calibration of our egg. Lugia used his pyscic power to force the power of the sea into it. When Manaphy finally hatched out of his egg, the power came alive. That jewel has so much power in it, you wont even imagine." I looked at the necklace around my neck, it was glowing a little. "Kyorge, what's it doing? Why is it doing this?"

"It does that when it's trying to inform the wearer of something." I raised my paws up off the ground the way I do when I attack and put them back down. "What's it trying to tell me? What?" I was pretty excited now, I hoped that the words that came out of her mouth next would hold all the answers to me and Bark's problem. I thought that she could tell me where to find Flair and maybe anything else I needed to know, but "Beats me." Is all she said to me. My jaw dropped open when she said that. "What did you just say?"

"Beats me, I don't have a clue." I jumped up again, this time in rage. "What?! What do you mean you don't know!? You made it!"

"I know, but the only one who can read it is Manaphy himself. He awakened his power at birth, so only he can read it. I gotta go Suicune, this water is cold. I don't know how you could stand to live here. Good-bye friend of Suicune." She said before diving back down with a splash, I just stayed where I was for about five minutes with my mouth gaping. Then Bark woke me out of my trance. "Um, Suicune?" I looked at him and closed my mouth. "What?"

"Maybe, if this Manaphy Pokemon is the only one who could read this, maybe he could tell us what this thing is trying to tell us."

"But, I don't know where he is. He never comes on land, he lives in the sea. I wish it was that easy." I said putting my head down, it really wasn't that easy. Manaphy could be anywhere in the ocean, and I mean anywhere. I found it wiser to keep up the search, after all, the trainer was our main priority.

We started to look again, but tracking was becoming difficult. For some reason I couldn't catch the scent, neither could Bark and his nose is far more powerful then mine. I could tell by the way he walked that his feet where getting tired, but he refused to stop. "Aren't you going to take a break?" He shook his head. He cared a lot for this trainer, it fascinated me how much a human and a Pokemon could care about each other. It was sweet. Then, Bark picked up his ears. "Suicune, I heard a noise!"

"I didn't hear a thing."

"It's coming from this way, come on!" He yipped running off in the direction of the sound. "Bark, wait!" I called after him, every little noise wasn't his trainer, but he was lost without her. He was becoming desperate, I start to fallow, but I hear something behind me. I stop and look back, but there was nothing. I shook my head and started to walk forward, but the Sea Jewel started to glow again. "What, what do you want? What are you trying to tell me?" It started to flash, on, off, on, off, I wonder why it was doing that. It had never done that before. I started to go after Bark again, but I heard the noise again, and then I saw a sort of spark. I look behind me to see what it was, but when I do, I hear a sudden movement, and before I knew it I was on my back and I was looking at the inside of my eyelids. There was a sharp pain in my chest, like I had been stabbed. I hear a heavy footstep next to my head, and so I open my ruby eyes. I was shocked and horrified at what I saw. A light brown paw, it was huge, about four times the size of mine. I my eyes started to work their way up the long, furry legs all the way up to the sun-like face and stare into glaring, narrow eyes. "No…" I whisper in a weak voice. "Hello, little brother. Did you miss me?" He said in a low, dangerous voice. Finally, after all this time I'm meet one of my biggest fears, Entei.

Bark's POV

I ran towards the sound of human footsteps. It had to be the man with Flair, it just had to be. I was probably being a bit optimistic, but I had to try. While I was running, I looked behind me to se if Suicune was there, but he wasn't. If this was a normal situation, I would have went back to him, but I couldn't, I just couldn't.

When I finally reached the spot where I heard the noise, I was really disappointed to see that there was no Flair. Instead, there was a boy, maybe a little older than Flair with red hair that was long and tied up in a pony tail. The way Flair does hers, in fact, this kid looked quite a lot like Flair, except that he was male of course. He had on a black jacket and pants, black boots with red on them and a black cape with red on the inside. His eyes where blue and he was talking to a Dragonite and two their Pokemon I didn't recognize. One was like a blue dragon that was on all fours with red wings and the other had these big, red bug eyes. "So, what's it gonna be guys? Should we head to Kanto and get all the badges there or go to Sinnoh and loop back around to Kanto?" He said to the Pokemon, they all snarled out their answerers at once, and then glared at one another for answering differently. "We can't go to all the regions at once, so ya gotta pick." They started to answer him again, but then this little Pokemon came out of nowhere and hoped in front of them. All the Pokemon stared at it, I would too, I'd never seen a flying type like that before, it looked kinda funny, especially it's head. Somehow I'd seen that shape before. "What's that?" The boy asked taking out his black Pokedex to get a reading on the Pokemon. "Chatot, the Music Note Pokemon. Chatot It can learn and speak human words. If they gather, they all learn the same saying." The Pokedex said, the boy put it away. "Well, can I help you, Chatot?" He said to the little bird-like Pokemon. The Chatot jumped up and down. "Help, help, help!" It just started saying over and over again. The boy kinda raised an eye brow at the Chatot. "So, they can talk, so what do you need help with?"

"Cory, trainer, help Mt. Silver, help, help, help!" It said still jumping up and down, the trainer looked curious and then said something to the Pokemon, I couldn't hear what he said, but the Chatot nodded it's head and flew off. The trainer jumped on the Dragonite's back and took off after it. The thing about trouble at Mt. Silver got me really interested. I should tell Suicune, then I remembered Suicune. He's probably looking for me! I dash back the way I came to get back to Suicune.

Mew's POV

I've been trying to get in touch with Lord Arceus for a long time now. I'm what Lord Arceus likes to call his advisor. You see, Lord Arceus doesn't like to be alone either, so he created me. He gave me amazing power, some of the greatest in the universe. I could even use that power to make some of my own creations, I created an entire clan of Mew like myself, all different genders and personalities, but unfortunately they didn't have the same immunity as I did to certain things and all died of dieses. I also created the Pokemon Smearlge and Ditto from my own DNA, to me, they are my greatest creations and they carry a likeness to me. Smearlge, learning any move and Ditto copying anyone or anything with the ability of Transform. I also helped Arceus with his creations, me and him where pretty close. I always know where he is, this isn't like him to avoid me. I dive down near the sea to see if he had taken on his water form with the water plate. When I hovered near a huge wave came up and nearly swallows me, I dart back into the sky and look down to see Manaphy giggling below. "Manaphy! That isn't funny!"

"Aww, you normally have a pretty good sense of humor. What happened?" He folded my tiny arms. "I'll tell your mother that your trying to down people in oceans, if you don't behave." He copied me by folding his fin like arms and smirking. "Please Mew, I wasn't trying to drown you, I was joking, lighten up, you used to be so fun. And also, tell my mother, I don't care. I'm grown now, I can even have my own children, not that I do or anything."

"I know, I'm just sort of having a bad day."

"Tell me about it, let Prince of the Sea wash all your troubles away." I completely disregarded the fact that he sounded sort of cheesy and sat down on a water rock. "Well, Lord Arceus hasn't been around lately. I haven't seen him anywhere and it's not like him to avoid me. He only does it when he's very troubled, tell me, do you think he's alright?"

"Hmmm, sounds like someone's missing their mate." My eyes nearly popped out of my head when he said that, I jumped off the rock. "WHAT!? WILL YOU EVER GROW UP!?" He started laughing hysterically, then when he saw that I was serious, he stopped laughing. "Relax Mew, Arceus has a heavy loud to carry. One grows tired from carrying the whole world on their shoulders, always walking through space trying to make everything alright for everyone, but its near impossible to make everyone happy. One person wants to build a house, the human builds and he's very happy, but now the Pokemon on the land have nowhere to go, they are unhappy, so a hurricane wind tears down the house, the Pokemon can start all over, they are very happy but now the human is unhappy. It's scary knowing that if you drop that world and let it fall it would plummet into an abyss of darkness. You just need to give Arceus some time, he maybe Arceus all mighty, but even he cannot do absolutely everything." Manaphy was right, Arceus did have some pressure on him. Though he can be so immature, I felt a lot better after talking to him. "Thank you." I said. "I feel a lot better after talking to you."

"Don't mention it. If you see my dad, tell him I said hi." He said diving back into the sea.

Suicune's POV

"So, brother, did you think you could get away from me?" He said stepping up to me, I backed away from him and growled. Then, I noticed other shapes coming up from the shadows. It was Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos, great. "Entei, I have something I need to do!"

"Oh no you don't. You're coming home with me, now!" He snarled at me, then he stepped a little bit closer. "Now!" I stepped back and nearly tripped, he growled at me and seized me by the throat. I struggled to get out of his jaws, but he sank his fangs deeper. Then, suddenly I felt him jerk off of me. When I got up, I was surprised to see Bark standing only about ten feet away from Entei, Zapdos Moltres and Articuno where staring at him, but they didn't move. Entei looked as if he would strike Bark at any second. "So, you're Suicune's brother?"

"So, what's it to you? Get out of the way and leave me to my work."

"What kind of brother are you, anyway?" Bark asked, I wished he could get away from this, just leave me and get away from Entei, leave and go where it was safe, but I know he'd want to protect me. Entei roared and Bark and put a heavy paw down. "Whatever kind I want to be, now get out of the way you filthy little mortal Pokemon! This is none of your business!"

"Suicune is my business, and if you so much as hurt one purple hair on his head, we'll have serious problems." I was kind of shocked to see him like this, he wasn't even this defensive about his trainer. He was actually angry, I had never seen him angry like this, his lips where curled back the way dog Pokemon do when they're angry and his eyes where wild, he looked like he was ready to kill if he had to. "fine, if you want to play night in shining armor to my brother, so be it. He can drag your body away when I'm finished with you!" Then Entei launched the first attack and tried to sink his teeth into Bark's neck, but Bark held him back and throw him off to the side. Moltres tried to attack Bark while he was occupied with Entei. These guys fight dirty, it was two on three an their was no way they where going to give up. I blasted Moltres with Bubblebeam, he flew back and crashed into Zapdos who tried to hit me with thunderbolt, but accidentally hit his brother. Normally he'd get a ton of damage, but his fire side protected him. "Damnit, Zapdos!" Moltres said shaking off the attack, then he tried to come at me and I used another bubblebeam. "I'll finish this!" Articuno said coming for me. He flicked his long tail around and started getting ready for a Sheer Cold attack, but all of a sudden Bark came and rammed him down and pinned him to the ground, Zapdos tried to come in from the other side with Drill Peck, but he blasted him away with a flamethrower. Then Moltres came down with Sky Attack, and knocked Bark off and tried to attack him while he was down, but I attacked again, only this time it wasn't bubblebeam, it was something much, much stronger. It was so strong, it sounded like a ocean wave all raped up in a huge blast. "Suicune, that's good, that's Hydro pump, keep it up!" Bark called from nearby. I kept up the attack, but then I saw Bark get jerked down. When I looked over I saw that Entei had caught him by his hind leg and started to drag him. Then he used his great strength and flung him over against a rock. Bark let out a yip and slowly slid down to the ground. Entei slowly approached Bark and put a paw on his throat. "This is when you die. You weak Pokemon, your all the same. You don't see your place in the world, you try to prove yourselves, and for that you have to pay the ultimate price…" I felt rage consume me, I opened my mouth to Entei and shot out the Hydro Pump again flinging him to his side. I kept it up for what seemed like hours, but then I felt a gentle paw on my shoulder. "I think that's enough." Bark said to me gently. I stopped the attack and looked at my brother, he was laying down on the ground and his mane was soaked by my attack. I felt all of a sudden pretty happy, I'd never been able to do something like this to my brother. Not until I met Bark, somehow he makes me stronger, he motivates me. I turn to Bark. "Lets go, he doesn't stay down for long." I said walking away from the area of the fight, Bark was panting a little and started to limp a bit on his back leg. "You okay?"

"Yes, I'll be okay."

"I really appreciate what you did back there for me."

"It was nothing, I care about you Suicune, I don't like it when other Pokemon hurt you. It hurts me to see you hurting."

"You care about me that much, huh." He nodded sort of slowly, I felt really weird all of a sudden. I don't know how to explain it, but I felt this weird feeling in my stomach, I shook it off though. "Lets go, we gotta find that trainer of yours." I said to him. He walked up right next to me, we where kind of close, I could even feel the warmth of his body. The funny feeling came back, and I just sort of looked at him, he got the message and moved a away a little. Boy, teenaged hormones can really give you the craziest ideas, they really mess with your head I almost wanted to kiss him back there…

Entei's POV

I woke up to find myself soaked. Then I remembered what happened, I jumped up from the ground and shook my fur. "Get up, get up, get up!" I growled at Motes and his brothers who where laying in random spots around me. They all slowly rose from the ground and shook their feathers. "Man, what happened?" Moltres said putting a flaming wing to his head. I growled. "What do you mean, what happened. We lost to that mortal Pokemon and my idiot brother! Get up we gotta go!" I growled at those idiots, but they stared blankly at me. "Why Entei? We lost the battle, he was better. Lets just go home." Articuno said, I nearly broke that idiots neck. "What? You can't give up! It's not supposed to be that way! Mortal Pokemon aren't ment to be stronger than us! That's not the way its supposed to be! If you loose to a mortal Pokemon, you're wearing shame around your neck, and every where you go it gets tighter and tighter until it eventually suffocates you, by then you wont even know what your purpose is! Your pride will be crushed!" Moltres looked as his brothers, than at me. "Entei's right." He said, but then Zapdos got angry. "Entei's always right! What about us, your brothers!? When are we supposed to be right!?" I glare at both of them. "You are the weak ones, you two against us, its an easy win. So I suggest you shut up and do what we say. Unless you're no better than a mere Pidgey, then go on, go bathe in your little man made baths and fight with each other of crumbs of bread, go on, have fun." I looked over to them to see they where talking about something, then the looked at me again. "Okay, we'll go with you."

"That's more like it. Don't worry about the loss boys, tonight we cleanse ourselves of failure with blood."

Bark's POV

Me and Suicune walk down a path that leads to the Lake of Rage, that's when I remember what I saw. "Hey Suicune?"

"Yes?"

"When I ran ahead, I didn't find Flair, but I found this human. He looked kinda like her, but he was male. He had these Pokemon with him, a Dragonite and these other two I didn't recognize. Then all of a sudden, this Pokemon comes up and starts talking about Mt. Silver and how theirs trouble. What's Mt. Silver?"

"Mt. Silver is a mountain where ridiculously strong Pokemon live. From what I heard, you can fish and find Magikarp stronger then the Gyrados that where used to. Most Tyranatar go there to breed and train. So anyway, why?"

"Well, I'm just curious, I'm wondering if theirs something up there. I mean, I've only heard stories, but some people say that there are criminals that have a base way up at Mt. Silver. There's no one that would really want to go up there. Do you think we should give it a try?" He thinks about it for a while. "I don't know, do you really think you can handle a place like that. There a Rapidash that are far stronger than even me, I bet that's where D's Tyranatar come from."

" I know, but I'll do anything for Flair, if I have to climb a mountain to get to her, so be it. If she isn't up there, I'll turn right back around and go search elsewhere, but I have to try." I was determined to rescue my trainer and all my friends. He smiles at me. "All right then, we'll go to Mt. Silver." I had a feeling there would be something there for us, if it wasn't Flair, maybe at least a clue as to where to find her. If not I wont give up, I'll never give up.

Ninja's POV

Me and Houdini started walking through this dark place. It was really creepy, but he seemed more tense about it then me. Probably because Ninetails are more used to spiritual things. I mean, I can learn a few ghost attacks that he could never learn. While we where walking, we saw something up ahead, it looked like a Pokemon, I wasn't sure what kind cause it was pretty dark. I think they where looking at us though. "Houdini" I whispered. "can you see what Pokemon that is a head of us?"

"No, try and get closer." I got just a bit closer, but I still couldn't see it. "Who are you?" It said to us, it had a female voice. "Oh, you can see us?"

"Of course, now what do you want?"

"Um… well, can you maybe tell us where we are?"

"This is the spirit world. The world of Lord Garatina. Garatina sends signals from this world to the antennae on a Dusknoir's head to captures spirits and bring them here." Houdini looked at me, then at the Pokemon. "Well then, can this Dusknoir bring Pokemon to this world without permission from this Garatina?"

"no, that world be against the laws of our world. Only Lord Garatina can say when it's time for you to die, a Dusknoir can only take you when it's time to die. If they take you before your time, and Lord Garatina finds it necessary, he'll switch your soul for the Dusknoir's but if he doesn't feel it necessary, you must stay in this world."

"So how does he decide if its necessary or not?" The Pokemon stopped for a while. "You have to appear in the Court of the Dead."

"The what?" I said, it didn't sound to appealing to me. "The Court of the Dead. Actually, Lord Garatina doesn't make the ultimate decision, the jury does." Houdini looked at me. "Do you think we should give it a try?" I hesitated, but nodded. "So then where do we find it?"

"You cannot go right this instant, Lord Garatina hasn't been around lately. When he returns I'll contact him for you. He'll explain the detail for you."

"That sounds good. Thank you." Houdini said, when he did, the Pokemon disappeared. I looked back at Houdini. "The Court of the Dead. Sounds pretty scary, huh?"

"No friend, after living and dying, nothing really seems scary anymore." He was right though, the ultimate fear in life is usually dying, even though it's a natural occurrence, when you die you don't have to worry about dying, you don't really have to worry. I wonder If going back to a troubling life will be worth it.

There you have it chapter six, also kinda long, oh well. I hope to get chapter seven out soon, but I always say that and never do, sigh I tries. Anyway, questions? Coments? Concerns? Suggestions? There's only one answer to those questions, reveiws!! Please, I'm open to all sugestions, or praise, but please dont come at me like "dis sux, do better1!!" cause then, i'm nott gonna do any better, trust me.
