Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. I do own the plot of this story, and the story itself. I do not own Professor Elm, Falkner, Giratina, Silver, Lyra, Crystal or Gold, they-along with pokemon-belong to Game Freak, Nintendo, and any other companies involved in making/being a part of a contract with Nintendo and Game Freak.

A/N: This has been edited, but not much at all. I just wanted to say for anyone who reads this, thank you. It means a lot to me!

Chapter 3

I was SHOCKED. Whoever Giratina was, they definitely weren't normal; all I had seen in the dream was two red eyes, almost as if they were evil…and that dreaded, what was it? Distortion world? Well, anyway, it was creepy. Black and purple swirling in what I think was air around me…yeah; I think i'm not using that Griseous Orb anytime soon.

"Aah! I forgot! I have to give a package to Professor Elm! Oh, I better pack things up!" I said.

"Hey, take this with you. I bet Professor Elm would like to study it. He might even ask Professor Oak to study it." Gold mentioned.

"Oh, thanks Gold! Wait…aren't you coming?" I asked.

"Sorry Crystal. I have to train my pokemon. Plus I have to beat Falkner, then go to Cherrygrove because I have to pick up something there. Sorry." Gold replied.

"Well, okay. Hey, how about we meet up in Cherrygrove?" I asked.

"Why not?" Gold smiled.

And thus Gold went to route 31 to train his pokemon, while I stumbled across a con man.

"Wow, baby, you're HOT. You're also lucky. Because you're so hot, i'll show you a secret path to New Bark Town, as I see you're trying to go there. So whadda ya say? Don't you want to go there quicker?" This man was awfully peculiar. At the time, I didn't know he was a con man, so I stupidly assumed he was a nice man who wanted to help me by getting me to New Bark Town quicker. And now i'm in a cave, all lost and lonely, hating myself for being so stupid and naive. I'm so glad i'm a pokemon trainer!

Mareep used flash!

I only walked one step…

Sudden music accompanied me as the world turned black with pokeballs climbing up and down the walls. It scared the crap out of me! Then a wild zubat appeared. I didn't have one, so I caught it and carried on my way.

Crystal used repel!

An hour later, I got out of the cave. I caught some new pokemon, and found some items. I guess it wasn't bad after all!

A/N: REVIEW! And the con man won't make you be in a cave for the rest of your life.
