Welcome to Chapter 5 of Special Adventures – Radiant Versus Dire. Now I am quite surprised that the reviewers are so freaking less compared to School Twist 2... Can you readers please let me know whether you like this story more or School Twist 2 – Alternative Timeline?
MISC: Silver's Multitype Aliment Inflicter (MAI) is obviously not suited for direct confrontation, and his invisibility skill does not help either. As in, he is the sneaky one or the scout in the Radiant team. And for Pokemons owned by others other than the Dexholders, there WILL be Pokemons. But I have no plans to give the Dexholders some new Pokemons for replacement as I would like to concentrate on their abilities (Or at least in this arc of the story).
Faithful Readers List: Currently none
Faithful Readers Privileges: Any minor request made will be approved without much consideration except the request is too bizarre to include in the story. Major plot elements suggestion will be taken into consideration or edition before implementing into the story. Also, they could ask me via private message about 1 (just 1) ability of the not-yet revealed Dexholder's ability.
Reviews (Where the heck did all of you went to?):
Daownlyone: Classic Blue, being the shipping master she is in almost every Pokemon Special fan fiction. But this time, she has more ways to torment the other Dexholders... be warned of the ultimate replication! Yeah the MAI gun, how is it? Is it good enough for Silver's weapon of choice? Lastly about the Pokemons that Amethyst (Not Amythest, you spelt wrong) and Topaz own, I will pick maybe one or two of them you suggested and implement them, with a few changes. I shall not give them a full 6 party Pokemon Team since they are just researchers, not battlers or trainers like the Dexholders.
WHERE DID THE OTHER REVIEWERS WENT TO? WTF?
NOTE: The "faithful reader" concept was referenced from the author of the S-EARLY series, and I shall gladly credit him here for inspiring me to start this plan to attract more readers and reviewers. (I can't remember his username since it consists of numbers.
EXTRA: For the ones that play DotA 2 or just wanted to support my videos, please take a look and give me your opinions on this prototype opening for my new DotA 2 video. I know the text are a little bit hard to read, and I will correct that upon the official release. Also, you could check out my old DotA 1 videos, its on the same channel.

Special Adventures – Radiant versus Dire
Arc 1 – Immersing in our own power
Chapter 5 – Double Mission
Silver and the Hoenn duo stood infront the apartment in question related to their mission. Their mission is to infiltrate the apartment, search for various documents related to team Dire's technologies, mainly documents that concern the ex-Galactic bomb and the satellite that blasted the Dexholders' Pokemon into the Distortion World so that the two researchers could counter or work out a workaround to recover their Pokemon.
At the entrance of the Turnback Cave however, the two researchers Topaz and Amethyst stood while holding their Pokeballs. Red and Green chose to join in hopes of discovering their abilities in this mission. Their mission is to search of anything that concern the portal leading towards the Distortion World, in hopes of recovering their Pokemon before the Dire gets one step ahead before them.
In short, there are two missions carried out at the same time by the Dexholders (the Radiant), while the other Dexholders are just... chilling in Platinum's mansion. Things aren't going as planned for Gold though, as he was forcefully dragged out of the mansion to the backyard by Crystal so that he could train with her. Believe me – getting hammered by crystallized hammers is a hell of a painful experience.
"Before we go, please promise me one thing, you too." Silver whispered to the Hoenn duo while they carefully observed the entrance of the apartment which is heavily guarded by Dire lackeys.
"Yeah?"
"Do not freaking bicker while we carry out this mission, or else I'll have to let you duo have a taste of my MAI. Please, you can continue bickering when we get through this troublesome mission." The Hoenn duo hung their heads low and nodded. Silver gave the duo an approving nod and proceeded to go invisible while Ruby and Sapphire waited outside the apartment, behind a bush so that the guards do not notice them.
After a little while, a loud thud sound was heard in the inner part of the ground floor in the apartment that startled the guards' attention. They rushed in to check what's happening, but only the trio knows that it's Silver trying to mess with their attention. Ruby and Sapphire immediately took the chance to make a run into the apartment. As they took their first step in, they saw a poor grunt frozen in a block of ice. Ruby could make note that the guard is shivering with both fear and cold. Sapphire stuck out her tongue towards the poor guard out of pure playfulness while they met up with Silver whom slowly faded back into sight. Silver gestured for the duo to follow them while keeping their footsteps silent towards the elevator so that they could get to the floor the apartment in question is at.
However, when they reach the floor the apartment is at, they saw lots of grunts staring at them with various Pokemon. Silver saw that their captain had a Silph Scope on his eyes.
"Game over, kids." The captain smirked sarcastically.
"Yeah, game over for you." Silver smirked in reply.
And then a battle erupted between the trio as they tried their best to evade attacks after barely escaping the exploded elevator.
"Red and Green, I know that you two were one of the best battlers of the Dexholders group, but this time around, I need you two to follow closely with us in case any wild Pokemons appear in the cave as they are very dangerous. Turnback Cave is filled with very strong Pokemon, and the cave is named Turnback Cave for this specific reason." Topaz said as he released his Rhyperior and proceeded to lead the way. Amethyst did the same by releasing a Vileplume.
"Pokemons... if only mine were here." Green muttered as he followed the duo's lead. Just then at that moment, a Bronzong emerged from the darkness and attacked the Vileplume with a Psychic attack, scoring a super effective and critical hit as Vileplume was hit in surprise. Vileplume struggled to hold his own ground as he pumped out Sleep Powder, but Bronzong evaded it with ease and struck the Flower Pokemon with another Psychic attack that knocked him out. At the same time, Topaz made Rhyperior use Rock Tomb that knocked out the intruding wild Pokemon but also shook the cave which is a very bad thing to do.
"Nicely done, smartass. Now we will have a whole load of wild Pokemons coming after us." Green said as he sighed.
"Don't worry, we got this." Topaz said as he continued walking while Amethyst sent out her second Pokemon, a Mismagius. Red made a mental note that although these Pokemons are well trained, they can't even come close to either his or Green's Pokemon (in fact, even half of Gold's party could even send them back to the Pokemon Center in seconds.) But seeing as he had no ability or Pokemon now, he chose to stay silent as he had no position to say anything.
As the group traveled through the complex system of the rooms and reached the second pillar, they were attacked by a group of Gengars. This is somewhat bizarre because Gengars aren't normally found in the cave, but Haunters are a frequent occurrence though.
As Topaz and Amethyst tried their best to fend off the Gengars while covering the two Dexholders, something strange started to appear. A relatively huge shadow starts to appear, and the two Dexholders immediately recognized as...
"Articuno!" Red and Green exclaimed as the ice bird Pokemon starts releasing huge waves of blizzard, disrupting the group and causing them to split up so that they could take cover. Topaz's Rhyperior is also knocked out in the process.
"Why in the world of Arceus that Articuno will appear in Sinnoh, and in this bloody cave?" Topaz shouted loud as he barely evaded an ice beam. He released his Flygon but got knocked out in that split second. "Damn!" Amethyst could just hide behind cover as all her Pokemon fainted before even reaching the first pillar.
"Red, what now?!" Green shouted loud as the sound of the blizzard is causing sounds in the cave. Luckily the Gengars were knocked out before Articuno appeared, or else the group will be dead by now...
"Articuno is an ice Pokemon, does the two of you have some fire Pokemon on you?" Green shouted to Topaz and Amethyst to which their reply disappointed the Gym Leader. "We only had two Pokemon on us and they are all knocked out!"
Just then, a blast of fire blasted the air as the blizzard slowly dissipates due to that fire blast.
"When you mean fire, you mean this?" Red asked the group, showing his two hands that is lit up in flames.
"Woah, Red! So your ability is fire! Nice timing and nice ability for this situation!" Topaz gave him a thumbs up while adjusting his torn lab coat. Why would someone even wear a lab coat when exploring a cave anyways?
"Damn you, Red. Now I can only watch you fight." Green's eyes narrowed to which Red just laughed it off and formed a phoenix-shaped fire and rode on it. He and Articuno immediately began a fierce aerial fight as Red's fire phoenix breathed flame while the legendary bird breathed ice at each other while avoiding attacks from their opponent. It is a sight to behold.
After a long and close aerial battle, Red sent his fire phoenix to charge against Articuno, barely injuring his own leg when he leaped down from the air. The fire phoenix lunged towards the surprised ice bird legendary Pokemon, knocking it out 'hot'. Red stood back up and noticed the other three shivering with cold and also sweating due to the hotness the fire phoenix emitted. Red laughed and followed the two researchers (Now protecting) and using his hand as a torch.
"Now this is more like it." Red said, annoying Green more as he did not have an ability yet.
"Darn you, Red. I guess it's time to ask for pesky girl to replicate Yellow for me..." Green smirked, causing Red to fell silent in defeat while the researcher duo just laughed shallowly in hopes of not getting dragged into Green's mess. Topaz wouldn't want to wake up with a Amethyst replicate sleeping beside her, scaring his skin off his body, right? The same goes to Amethyst.
The group continued to the last pillar room and found a strange file with a Dire word on the cover on the floor. Topaz picked it up and took a glance, it was the research report of the pre-Dire phase which is some evidence proving that the Dire actually formed before anyone knew. Not a very useful information, but still something better than going a long way here for nothing. The group proceeded to leave the cave, with Red burning and knocking out every wild Pokemon they encounter while Green frowned each time Red used his fire ability.
"Why is the world so damn unfair?"
On the other group, things aren't going as smoothly as planned...
Silver was knocked out cold by a Zen Headbutt attack by one of the Pokemons that fought with the group, Ruby is all tied up while Sapphire fainted after Ruby got subdued by the mass attacks of the grunts and is now all tied up beside the unconscious Sapphire. Or is she really unconscious...?
After awhile being trapped in the apartment, they were forcefully dragged out with Ruby not even struggling, perhaps because his energy was all drained after the fight. They were dragged outside of the apartment, with their hands untied but held by multiple grunts, preventing any escape plans they made or had made.
"Hello, renowned Dexholders. Tch tch tch, you do realize that breaking into our territory is a bad choice to take, yes?" The Dire captain spoke while the other grunts hold them down. To be exact, they are holding Ruby down as Ruby is the only one not knocked out.
"Hold on gentlemen, let's sit down and talk this over like civilized people!" Ruby panicked while the captain just laughed, he slowly walked to Ruby and gave him a punch in the face, causing Ruby's mouth to puke out blood.
"Civilized people don't break into other people's homes! Or at least, try to break into other people's homes." The captain spoke once again. Ruby decided not to answer since he's going to get punched anyway. But the next thing done by the captain changed everything.
The captain grabbed Sapphire by her neck, suffocating her even though she is already unconscious. This angers Ruby, but Ruby still tried to calm the captain down. "Strangle me if you like, let your hands off the girl and let's talk this over!"
"Talk this over? Not in a million years, mister Ruby." The captain finished his sentence as he called out a Salamence. Sapphire immediately snapped awake (She is actually feigning unconscious) and trembled all over. "Salamance! Ruby... I am... scared...!"
"Oh looks like someone woke up, or she decided to stop pretending." The captain shook his head, and gave Sapphire a very hard punch. "Kill her." The captain ordered his Salamance to Dragon Claw Sapphire, but Ruby disagreed.
"I gave you the chance to talk, and you refused. Don't regret then!" Ruby pushed his two hands infront like a pushing stance, and a rainbow coloured blast blasted over the direction he was facing, deafening the captain, the guards, and caused the Salamence to get stunned. The spell Ruby just cast was a spell in his arsenal, named Deafening Blast. "Say hello to the assault mage!" Ruby growled out.
"Have a taste of my Chaos Meteor!" Ruby said as he raised his hands up in the air as a huge meteor from outer space started to sped down at high speed. The captain immediately ran – but the Salamance wasn't that lucky. It was rolled flat by that burning meteor casted by Ruby. Sapphire was still in shock of the Salamance – she closed her eyes in fear and did not realize anything Ruby did. The captain was shocked to see such power from a human being, but decided to fight nonetheless and sent out a Dusclops while the grunts sent out their respective Pokemon. It's ten to one. Ruby is outnumbered, outgunned, but not outwitted.
Ruby closed his eyes and did something a yoga master would do. Breath in... wait what the hell?
"Shiva blast!" Before Ruby even finished his sentence, a blast of frost emitted in every direction that knocked out every Pokemon and caused the grunts and captain to stumble backwards. The grunts ran away in fear. To them, Ruby is a monster, that is going to kill them any second. The captain was too shocked to even move his legs, so Ruby decided to end his life fast.
Ruby looked down on the floor, closed his eyes and muttered while grinning deviously. "Sun Strike." The captain took two seconds to register what Ruby said, but two seconds is enough to end his life as a pillar of pure light struck down from the sky itself, igniting the captain's body. "Goodbye, captain."
After the clash ended, Silver woke up to see Sapphire hugging a worn out Ruby out of fear of the Salamence earlier. Silver looked around and saw masses of fainted Pokemon and the dead captain.
"Don't worry Sapphire, I chased them away. Look! They're gone!" Ruby tried his best to comfort the crying girl.
"What the... hell... just happened...?"
"Well, nothing much."
Yep, Ruby is just Ruby, hiding his abilities in battle as he normally would. I kept my promise by revealing two abilities of the Dexholders, so please rate and review. :D
