We looked around at the sudden change that the forest had gone through. The emerald paradise it had once been was now a cold, white wasteland. Trees had been broken apart and there was no-one to be found.

"Hello?" called Absol.

No answer.

"Celebi and I'll go look for everyone," said Suicune absent-mindedly, before speeding off into what was left of the forest, as did Celebi.

"Anyone here?" I hollered.

Again, no answer.

"Uh, Jay?"

Kat was standing beside me, looking toward Gloom, who had fallen unconscious.

"It must be the cold," I said, turning to Eden. "Eden, start a fire so Gloom may warm up."

"I don't take orders from anybody," she snapped.

"DO IT!" I roared.

Eden snorted in annoyance. She moved toward Gloom.

"Flamethrower," she murmured.

Within seconds, a roaring flame warmed the place considerably. But we couldn't stay there forever.

"Kat, Absol," I said. "We need to investigate what's going on."

Eden went to move.

"You," I said, "stay here, if that fire goes out, Gloom doesn't stand a chance."

I could feel Eden's anger as the three of us moved away from her and Gloom. I started to feel around with my Aura-State, there was no sign of anyone. Not a flicker. Suddenly, there was a sudden burst of aura energy nearby. There, under a fallen log, was Ralts.

"Help," she wheezed.

Kat used Psychic to move the log, as Absol and I pulled her out.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Lucario," she said. "Abomasnow, Empoleon."

"What about them?" wondered Absol.

"They attacked," Ralts said. "We weren't ready. They used some dimensional hole or something, but one minute we were getting ready, then the next, they were attacking. And I mean that literally."

"Is there anyone else around?" I asked.

"No," she said. "Apart from a few Pokémon that went into hiding. The rest were taken." She started crying. "There were so many of them. I couldn't help it. I WAS SCARED!"

I hugged her close.

"It's okay," I soothed. "It was better to have you here so we can save them."

Ralts sobbed and nodded her head, tears still running down her cheek.

"Jay," Suicune had appeared. "There's no-"

"-one around," I said. "Yes, I know."

"But I did happen to overhear some slackers talking," she continued. "They said something about the Titans."

"The what now?" asked Kat.

"The Titans," Suicune said, "Commanders of the different trios and some of the most powerful Pokémon in the world. They are Lugia, commander of the bird trio, Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos, Ho-Oh, commander of the beast trio, Entei, Raikou and myself, Regigigas, commander of the golem trio, Regice, Regirock and Registeel, and the most powerful of them all. This titan commands two of the most powerful trios of all time. The spiritual trio, Mespirit, Azelf and Uxie, and the dragon trio, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. This Pokémon is said to have been the one to create the world. This Pokémon is Arceus. I think they might be out to recruit them."

"Recruit them?" Absol was in shock.

"Yes, and considering when Dialga was last recruited, he went Primal, I dread to think what the Titans would do to the world, especially Arceus."

"Then there's nothing else for it," I said. "We have to stop them."

Then, the earth shook. It knocked down trees and threw the lot of us into the air.

"What happened? An Earthquake?" Absol asked.

"No," said Suicune. "I think it's The Temple... The home of the three orbs."

"Three orbs?" I asked.

"The orbs of the Dragon Trio," said Suicune. "I think we'll need MAJOR back-up with this one guys. If they get those orbs..."

"Which they can't without the Spiritual Trio," said a voice.

Hither walked a Kakuna. WITH A MOUSTACHE!!! Another tremor. Kakuna's moustache fell off. We all looked at him. He face planted into the ground to stick it back on.

We all stared silently at Kakuna as he looked back and forth between all of us.

"What?" he asked.

"Anywho..." I said.

As we headed over there, another tremor hit. We ran, following Kakuna. His moustache hanging lop-sided on his face.

"It seems," he said, "they already have the trio."

There, at the front of the temple, floated Mespirit, Uxie and Azelf, glowing brightly while Abomasnow and Empoleon attacked the door with all their might, and there, at the front of it all, was Lucario.

Then, there was a flash of light and the door disappeared. The Pokémon all followed Lucario in.

"Shall we go?" asked Absol.

"We shall," I said.

And we followed them in.
