The sun shined over Almia as people and pokemon enjoyed the warmth it brought to their skins. Children played and frolicked with the pokemon, while workers set their stores up outside.

Couples happily ate in restaurants, or outside under a lovely sun umbrella. People shopping smiled warmly at their servers or passers-by.

But in all this happiness and joy there was one person, one broken spirit.

"Come on Seren, can't you just kiss and make up with Kellyn?" Kate asked as she walked with her friend into Pueltown.

"How can I? The guy's being a dickhead by overreacting about one little scar," Seren sighed in reply as she tried to shake the brown haired boy from her mind.

"I know, but you overreacted too," Kate pointed out as the two walked passed a couple eating ice-cream. "I wonder how much ice-cream is here," she muttered as she stopped to look in the window.

Seren turned around to face her friend, smiling a small smile as she crossed her arms. No matter how down she got, Kate's easily side tracked mind always made her smile.

"We're on patrol Kate, we'll come back later," Seren smiled as she turned away from the girl. Kate whined before following Seren into Vientown Forest.

"Alright, but we better go back or I'm suing you for damages," she replied as she ran after Seren, who turned to her with a confused expression.

"What damages?" she asked.

"The damages of me not getting any ice-cream in my tummy," Kate answered as she walked ahead. Seren shook her head as she ran to catch up with the laughing girl.

"What were we talking about before I got side tracked?" Kate asked as she looked at Seren, who shrugged.

"Can't remember," she answered as they walked. The sun started to beat down hard. Kate stopped as she tried to catch her breath, as did Seren.

"Man, the weather changes are getting stranger and stranger," Kate muttered as she held her throat, suddenly feeling very dehydrated.

Seren pulled a water bottle out before drinking a bit from it, she then handed it to Kate, who gratefully took it.

A rustling in the bushes was heard as clouds began to gather in the sky.

Seren looked up as she felt a rain drop on her nose.

"What in the world?" she asked.

"You don't think something's disturbed Raikou, Suicune and Entei do you? This normally happens when they aren't very happy," Kate stated as she quickly turned around.

Something red in the bushes caught her eyes. She quickly ran over to move the bush, but once she had, there was nothing there. Strange.

Seren hissed as she felt something bit her leg. Looking down, she saw a small Bidoof, but something was off about it. Instead of it having brown fur, it was grey, and when it looked up Seren could see piercing red eyes.

"CAPTURE ON!" Kate yelled as she quickly captured the pokemon, who looked at her. Her capture was complete quite quickly.

When she went to release the pokemon she saw that it hadn't been befriended and hadn't even appeared to have been noted as an unsuccessful capture in her style. Instead, there was nothing. It was just gone.

"Kate," Seren whispered as she moved away from the Bidoof, who turned to grey dust before blowing in the wind.

"It's just dust in the wind," Kate whispered.

"You need to lay off the music," Seren sighed as she looked at where the Bidoof had been. "Still, this is strange. First the weather changes and now the pokemon who can't be befriended," she added.

"Yeah, I know, and the pokemon wasn't agitated either. It just turned to dust," Kate whispered as she walked over to Seren.

"I wonder how much weirder things will get," she replied as they headed back towards the Union, leaving Vientown and Chicole Village to Luana and Crawford to patrol.


Meanwhile, across the seas in the Sinnoh Region, things were getting weirder and weather was completely abnormal. Almost as serious as Hoenn sometime back, with Kyogre and Groudon. Usually rainy routes were now storming like crazy. Snowpoint was in the midst of its worst blizzard in a decade; it was impossible for anyone to leave or enter the city. Even the route was shut down due to avalanches and dropping temperatures. Sunyshore City's power grid was suffering mechanical difficulties from unknown glitches. Even the far off spots of Sinnoh, such as Twinleaf and the Resort Area, were impacted by rapidly changing weather. Sunshine one second, high winds blasting the next. Light rain turned to snow which then formed into hail and straight back to clear skies; just like that.

However it wasn't only the weather that seemed to be wrong with Sinnoh. Many pokemon were unusually off. Migrating pokemon, flying and water types, seemed to either avoid Sinnoh or leave the region early. No explanation why. Meanwhile, many more pokemon on the main land were agitated. Either they retreated into safety or attacked humans out of panic. Even the domestic pokemon seemed tense. There didn't seem to be any reason for this. And just when Sinnoh civilians started to question what was wrong, pokemon started to disappear. Started out on the routes surrounding Cornet, when trainers found less wild pokemon to catch. But now even town pokemon were missing. The pokemon population dropped by a third in Celestic, Eterna and Hearthome.

That's when people began to worry. The International Police Force and Sinnoh Elite Four co-operated to track down the source of the problem. Gym leaders were asked to help out when they could. Only Pokemon trainers of expert level were asked to be careful and allowed to continue their travels. Many others had to return home temporarily, go to another region or (for newbies) postpone their journey.

Cynthia and Flint, Kate's older siblings, were in charge of Mt. Cornet. Hey, they were experts. And with everything going on, experts were needed to go up the mountain. Too many pokemon and humans were injured by rock falls already. The inside of Cornet had gotten ten times more dangerous lately.

Flint decided to scope out the bottom of the mountain while Cynthia would look towards Spear Pillar. Searching the caves and tunnels, it was found that almost all of the pokemon vanished. Just as they did outside. Whatever happened out of the mountain range was even worse inside. Rock structures were unstable as well. Like the place would come apart. Cynthia tried to move up the mountain. Very difficult because the weather surrounding the mountain was a disaster. Snowpoint was nothing compared to the stinging high winds, dropping temperatures and frigid ice that blew along the thick snow. The blond champion tried to stick to the inside of the cave as much as possible. She noted the routes got darker the farther up she went.

It was very high up the mountains (9/10's the way to the top) when Cynthia found the main cave road was a dead end. Boulders crashed and wedged themselves, forming a wall almost as hard as cement. Ok, no worries. The champion remained calm, knowing several other ways to get around the mountain. But each twist and turn was the same thing. Dead end. The avalanches of rock completely blocked off any chance of getting to Spear Pillar. And it didn't look like any pokemon could get through this stuff. Not even her own team.

Cynthia sighed. She pulled out her cell phone. Weak signal but she could still get a call through.

"Flint?" Cynthia spoke, hoping the connection reached her brother.

"Hey sis." Flint greeted. "Gotta tell ya. This is way too creepy. Pokemon are missing all over the place, structure's out of whack and the air feels so tense."

"I feel it too." Cynthia said.

"Like it drains your energy and the pressure's crushing you." Flint sounded pretty tired.

"Well I'll meet you outside the entrance to Eterna. We can talk there and report our findings to everyone else." Cynthia told him.

"You got it." Flint agreed. "Be careful, Cynthia."

"You too, Flint."

Cynthia shut off her cell phone. Low battery already? Weird. But this was a magnetic mountain where Nosepass and Magneton loved to dwell. The electric air could've interfered with the technology; such as battery and signal. Not much of a surprise.

The champion started to make her way back down the mountain. Though there seemed to be more questions in her head than when she first entered this place...


Meanwhile, Kate and Seren had just returned to the Union. Kate supporting a large ice-cream sundae, while Seren had a milkshake. Both were soaking wet, due to the freak rain fall that happened.

"What happened to you two?" Rythmi asked as they walked up to the Operator's floor. Seren was sucking out her drink through the straw. Her hair fell over her left eye dripping, while her right eye was half closed in displeasure.

"Have I ever mentioned I hate the rain?" she asked as she walked forwards. Kate, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. She was eating her ice-cream with a large smile on her face; rain fell down the side while it dripped from her pigtails.

"No, honestly you haven't," Kate replied with a mouth full of ice-cream. At that moment Kellyn and Keith both came running up the stairs with Isaac following them.

"Ok, what the hell is going on with this weather?" Keith asked as he looked at Rythmi.

"Why are you two so wet?" Isaac asked as he looked at Seren and Kate.

"Oh, kinky, Katie's wet-." Keith paused mid-pervert remark. "ICE-CREAM! MINE!"

Keith yelled as he began chasing Kate around the Operator floor for the ice-cream she had.

"And here you think there'd be nothing to do on a rainy day," Seren sighed as she looked at Rythmi.

"Well, according to weather reports, this kind of thing's happening all over the world," Rythmi stated. She brung up recent pictures of Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, Sinnoh and Unova.

"What the hell?" Seren asked as she stood behind Rythmi, Kellyn and Isaac stood next to her.

"This is bad," Kate muttered as she walked over with Keith, who had a spoon full of ice-cream in his mouth.

"I need to make a call," Seren whispered as she quickly dashed off. The others watched her leave as she quickly ran off, dropping her milkshake along the way.

"What's up with her?" Keith asked. Kellyn remained silent as he watched her leave, he had no idea what was going on. He was just like everyone else, clueless.

"Hello? I need to speak with a Miss Sarah Redfern," Seren stated as she spoke down the phone.

"I'm afraid Miss Redfern just left, I can give you her number if you like," Seren bit her lip at the reply of the male voice.

"Yes please," she whispered in reply. Sarah Redfern, Seren's mother, was someone who didn't agree with her going to Ranger school. Due to this, Seren left in secret, the moment her mother found out she lost all contact with her. However, now things were starting up again, Seren just needed to make sure she was alright.

She jotted the number of her mother down before thanking the man and hanging up. There was a knock a moment later from the door. Seren turned around to see Kellyn entering.

"You ok?" he asked. Seren looked at him before quickly hiding the number.

"Fine," she answered as she walked passed him towards the Operator's floor again. Kellyn sighed; he really had pissed Seren off this time.

Seren stood in line with a number of other Rangers. There was her, Kellyn, Kate, Keith, Luana, Crawford, Summer, Ben, Wendy and Sven.

They all stood patiently waiting for some news from Erma, good or bad, they didn't know. The ten Rangers stood in anticipation waiting for the news.

"Erma, if you know what's going on, why can't you just tell us?" Kate asked.

"That's the thing my dear, I don't know what's going on," Erma replied.

"We're waiting on a call from someone and then we shall get this meeting started," Hastings added as he looked at the ten Rangers. Each of them held a scar to show how brave they had been in Operation Brighton. Each of them had a love for each other in their hearts. Each of them had a love for the world in their hearts. And each of them made him, Erma and the Union proud to be who, or what, they were today.

Finally, the screen lit up with a number familiar to Kate. Her heart missed a beat, if they were getting involved with it, then it must be serious.

Kate bit her lip, hopefully, just this once; everyone will understand how serious things are. After all, people like her wouldn't get involved with this unless they really needed to.

Rythmi answered the call.

"Hello everyone," came a familiar voice.
