Yes! I managed to upload this chapter!
This is actually turning out kinda decent! More evil cliffhangers! But I update just about everyday, so there's really no point, huh?
And please review! I love the reviews!
Green woke up to the sound of his Pokegear early in the morning.
With a sigh, he sleepily took it out and checked who was calling.
"A message from gramps, huh?"
He clicked the talk button and Prof. Oak appeared on the screen.
"Hey there, grandson! There's a bit of a delay, so I'm coming back a little late, okay?"
Green's eyes scanned the destroyed laboratory.
"Uh, take your time, gramps," he replied.
"By the way, the lab is okay, right?"
"Yeah, it's in perfect condition," Green lied.
"Okay, then, I'll see you in a week or so."
Green clicked the off button. That was close...
Everyone landed in Unova and returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
"Hm... This is Asperita city, if I'm not mistaken," Green mumbled.
"I think it is dad, you showed me a map of Unova a few times," Akarui said.
"Yeah, this is it all right, and something tells me something is happening around here..." Silver said warily, looking around at the local people.
All the doors, windows, and shutters were closed, like a holocaust passed through town not too long ago.
Suddenly, a person with blue hair, a tie, and was carrying a book came by, and Yellow ran over.
"Um, excuse me, could you tell us where everyone is?" She asked the man.
"... They all evacuated, all the way to another city," he replied with a distant look.
"Evacuated? Why?" Ruby asked.
"You people aren't from Unova, are you? Well, if I should tell you what happened, I should tell you who I am too. I'm Cheren, the Asperita City Gym Leader. But there's no one who comes to challenge me now, with what's happening and all," he said.
"Nice to meet you, Cheren. Now, about these... Strange occurances, what are they?" Red asked.
Cheren took them to the Gym, which still looked in pretty good shape.
"About... Hm... 6 years ago, I should say, an organization which called themselves Team Apocalypse made their first appearance in Asperita city, about 2 years after Team Plasma disappeared. I remember that they held a young girl hostage... And... Now that I think about it, you look a lot like her..." Cheren said, pointing at Ryui.
"Because she IS the girl you saw. They kidnapped her for some reason, but the reason isn't clear yet," Silver said.
Cheren looked a little surprised, and then continued.
"Anyway, the gym leaders beat them off, and we haven't heard too much about them until now. They wiped out a few cities in Unova, mainly Lacunosa, Icirrus, and Undella Town, and now they took down Asperita. Everyone's evacuating to safer cities now. Now I'm the only one left," Cheren finished.
Green was deep in thought.
"Those cities aren't very close to eachother, it's like they purposely took control over it for a reason instead of going cityafter city... But why? Maybe those places have a special connection with something?" He said thoughtfully.
"Maybe, Uncle Green has a point," Orenji piped up.
Green scowled, that new nickname was also as annoying as Greenie.
"Uh... I'm just making a guess, but while I was taken, I learned a few things about Unova. Lacunosa Town is next to the Giant Chasm, Undella Town is also near the Giant Chasm, which connects to the Pokemon League. And Icirrus City has a looming tower that stands over it called Dragonspiral Tower. I think a Pokemon called Kyurem loved in the Giant Chasm before it disappeared, and that two dragon Pokemon, Zekrom and Reshiram, were revived in Dragonspiral Tower, but they also disappeared..." Ryui said.
"I get it! Each of those places were connected to the legendary Pokemon of Unova, so they cut the connection from there, and know they're really trying to take over all of Unova," Crystal said.
"I think she's right, Team Apocalypse are after the legendary Pokemon, and if that's the case, other legendaries also might be in danger," Cheren said after receiving ing the information.
"So... What do we do now?" Akarui asked.
Everyone paused.
"That's a very good question."
"Is there any other old legends of Unova, Ryui?" Lyra asked her daughter.
Ryui furrowed for a few seconds, then said,
"I know partial of another one. Another legend said that there was a huge holocaust event in Unova a very long time ago. Shadow Pokemon. They were evil spirits, and it is unknown how they came to this world. They took in the souls of people and devoured all their consciousness, using them as puppets, and eventually, thousands of people died of them... And something, I don't know what, sealed them up somewhere in Unova. And nobody knows where," Ryui replied, reciting the story.
"Shadow Pokemon, I wonder what those are?" Gold said.
"Shadow Pokemon actually sound kinda cool, now only if they weren't evil," Yvonne sighed.
Green was gazing off into the distance.
"What's up?" Sapphire asked.
"It's just that... Something doesn't feel right somehow. I feel like something is happening over in that direction," he said, pointing.
"Hey, that points toward Castelia City, right?" Akarui asked.
"Yeah, it does, and isn't there this place called the Desert Resort there, and I think there are some old ruins there, very old ones... Uh, oh god..." Xavier said, realizing what that meant.
"Old ruins, then... That's means the Shadow Pokemon might be sealed up in there," Emerald said.
"If Team Apocalypse is after Legendaries, they might be after using the Shadow Pokemon to their advantage," Yvonne said after a minute of thinking.
"Why don't we go there first, just to be sure?" Red suggested.
"Sure, that could be out staring point," Blue said.
Everyone was flying on whatever flying Pokemon they had, aiming for the Desert Resort.
"Hey, daddy?" Ryui called from her Dragonair.
"What is it?" Silver asked from his Honchcrow.
"I remembered something else... The Team Apocalypse also said something about using me to become a commander for my grandfather... A grandfather? That means your dad, right? Dad? Dad?"
Silver didn't respond, because he was in shock.
"My dad...?"
Green overheard from his Charizard.
"Silver's father and Ryui's grandfather... Wouldn't that be..."
Mwahahaha! Evil cliffhanger! But it's only gonna be a cliffhanger for one day. Anyway, this is actually working out for me.
And the whole Shadow Pokemon thing? You'll find out eventually. And please review!
