A/N: Would you look at that? The next chapter of Pokémon Legends! I told you your patience would be rewarded, and here's your reward! A new chapter. BE HAPPY.

Now, what happened last chapter? Well, the little voice in Dune's head can predict the future, Lugia has anger issues, and STORMS! Fun, right? And today, we're gonna learn a little more about what's going on with the Legendary Pokémon. Will it clear things up? Probably, but you'll probably have more questions...but hey, that means I'm doing something right! Right?

Imagination is king: I remembered that Teddiursa usually like sweets or something like that...I don't know, I couldn't think of anything else...don't quote me on this, I'M PROBABLY WRONG! DON'T BE AFRAID TO RANT IF I AM! Also, thanks for reviewing!

Dranicus101: I had a feeling you thought Zekrom. Eh, I can understand why, and you're probably not the only one who did. I mean, both Lugia and Zekrom are storm-related. Either way, thanks for the review!

Chapter 6: A Mystery Unfolds

Dune walked into the café, observing the many scared and confused Pokémon within. He paid no attention to them, however. There was only one Pokémon he was looking for, and he happened to be in his usual spot, appearing unaffected by what had just happened.

Duke, like the rest of Alpha Town, had enough sense to hide inside during the storm to avoid a good soaking. It seemed that the Houndoom had the most reason to avoid rain- he was part Fire-type.

"Duke," Dune called. Duke glanced at him, and flicked his tail in greeting.

"No need to say anything," Duke said as Dune sat down. "Saw the whole thing. Or at least what I could from in here."

Dune nodded. "That was a Legendary Pokémon, Duke. A real one, flesh and blood. I never really thought they existed...just that they were old stories told to scare kids at night."

Duke shrugged. "I understand that. I myself neither believed in them...nor disbelieved them. I always thought that, while the stories of the Legendaries seemed somewhat incredulous, they held a small spark of truth to me."

"Well, I get that," Dune replied. "Here's what I don't get- Legendary Pokémon have never been seen in Pokéa for THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of years. Pokémon began to think they just never existed, that they were just myths."

Duke nodded in response.

"So then...why did one come back all of a sudden? No warning or nothin'- just BOOM. What're we supposed to make of that?"

Duke frowned and stared off, lost in thought. Finally, he replied, "Ask yourself this, Dune. Since Legendary Pokémon do, in fact, exist...why did they leave in the first place? Where have they been for so many years? And, the obvious, why are they returning now?"

Dune frowned. "I got this really bad feeling, Duke. Like...this is only the beginning. I mean, god Pokémon returning and doing who knows what kinda damage. That can't be good for Pokéa, right?"

"You're right, it can't," Duke agreed. "What we saw today only confirms that. And I agree; if one Legendary returned, who's to say the others won't."

Others. More Legendaries. What would happen if they came back? Bad things, that's what. Dune thought grimly. Now, there was one more thing he needed to discuss with Duke- the dream.

"Something else...the night before, I had this dream where-"

"DUNE!" someone yelled. Dune looked to see a frantic Clay standing in the doorway, calling out to him. "THERE'S SOMETHING OUTSIDE! IT'S BIG, BRIGHT, AND REALLY SUSPICIOUS!"

Dune facepalmed. Why did Clay insist on being so loud in public like this? Especially when it attracted attention to him, one of the things he got enough of throughout his life?

"C'MON, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!" Clay shouted as he suddenly appeared next to Dune and proceeded to drag him out of the building, with Duke calmly following.

"What's going on now?" Dune muttered shaking his head. When he made it to the far eastern section of Alpha Town, it appeared that half the town was staring at something in the distance.

"Did you find him?" Horizon called.

"Yup!" Clay replied, stopping beside her.

Horizon glared at Dune. "And where exactly did you disappear off to? One minute you're standing next to us, then you're gone!"

"Whatever, Mom," Dune replied irritably. "Just tell me what the heck is going on."

Horizon gestured forward. "See for yourself."

Dune looked up, and was shocked by what he saw. In the far distance, emerging from the mountain peaks, was a tall pillar of swirling, bright, golden light. It sprouted high into the clouds, until it finally vanished from sight. But when it did, Dune couldn't deny the powerful energy that seemed to surge in his body for a couple of seconds before that, too, disappeared.

"What is happening todaaaaay!?" Clay shouted into the sky. "First Lugia, and now whatever THAT was! WHAT'S NEXT, AN EARTHQUAKE? METEORS?"

"Clay," Horizon said as she slapped him. "Get a grip. It's not the end of the world."

Not yet. Dune thought glumly. He then perked up. Hey, wait a sec...I think I know where that light came from.

Dune walked away and took out his map. It was old and tattered, but he could still make out the picture of Pokéa in all its entirety. He traced a finger from Alpha Town to the direction of the light until he came to one location.

"Clay. Horizon. Over here," Dune called. The two walked over to see what was up. "I think I figured out where our light came from."

"You did?" Clay asked.

"Yup. Take a look." Dune pointed to a spot on the map that was around where the light came from.

"Okay...you want us to go look into it?" Clay asked fearfully.

"Why shouldn't you?" Duke inquired, joining them. "Since this happened so soon after Lugia, I think the two events may be connected somehow. You should go see if that's right."

Horizon blinked. "I'm sorry, you are...?"

"Duke. He's a friend of mine," Dune answered as Duke dipped his head in greeting.

"Oh. Okay then," Horizon replied with a nod. "I guess that makes sense. Us going to find out what that light was...I'm in!"

"Wait, what about injuries from the Blazing Pride?" Clay asked, eyeing Horizon's slightly tattered bandages. The Sandslash only glared at him I'm annoyance.

"I JUST HELPED WIN AGAINST A LEGENDARY POKÉMON. I'M PRETTY SURE I CAN HANDLE A BIT OF TRAVELING." she growled. Clay backed off, slightly frightened.

"Well then. Now that that's outta the way, let's get going," Dune ordered.

"Does this mean you're getting back into exploring again?" Clay asked, smiling. Dune almost stopped dead. He hadn't even realized he was about to go into another Mystery Dungeon. He sighed. So much for never going back there...

"Hold on," Horizon said, stopping. "If we're going somewhere, I'd like to know what 'somewhere' is called, please."

Dune sighed. "Never been there myself, but I'm pretty sure it's called Rainbow Summit."

A/N: And with that, we've figured out where our trio's next stop is! Duke gave us some interesting stuff to think about, so go and THINK. Also, nervous breakdown. FUN, RIGHT? Yeah, you know it is. So, next time we get another Dungeon chapter, and you know what that means? LONGER chapter which will take LONGER to write, making a LONGER waiting time. Hey, this chapter was short though, let's focus on that...

Anywho, I hoped you enjoyed, and I'll see you next time! Bye-bye!
