"We're leaving Sinnoh," he announced a few days back. It was a hard pressed fact. No arguments. "We no longer have any business here." It wasn't like there were any other options or methods to disagree with him. Within hours, they flew to a warmer continent with certain ambitions in mind. The mask man didn't seem to notice that the Heavy Ball containing Dialga on his belt was wobbling violently from the aggressive pokemon's rage.

A few hours into the next day, without warning, a loud and messy splash rippled the lake within the deep forest of Ilex forest. Bubbles violently popped up from the initial point of impact before a young girl with black hair surfaced, struggling in the deep body of water. A loud machine roared above her, its driver completely ignoring the welfare of the teenager.

She haphazardly splashed about, unable to properly keep herself above water. She pulled a Pokeball on her belt, throwing it in the air. A Feebas shot out from the red beam and immediately helped its trainer from drowning. The aircraft flew away, not giving a damn about whether or not its former passenger was okay.

Satsuki! The water Pokemon called out as it clumsily kept itself and the girl from dipping under.

Its small fins propelled the water as it swam through the calm lake. Due to it not actually knowing the hidden move known as Surf, the transportation was a struggle as it practically crawled through the lake and towards shore. The pokemon itself was not native to this particular region. It had a similar appearance of a small fish wearing too many layers of makeup with a permanent gloomy expression.

Why would you jump into the middle of the lake if you couldn't swim? It asked her as she choked out the remaining fluid from her lungs.

"I didn't jump," its trainer gagged. She held onto the barely one foot tall fish, careful not to scrape off its scales. "I was rudely shoved off while I was asleep." She whipped her long hair aside to see where she was. "Ilex Forest?" she questioned rhetorically. I didn't realize that the time would come so soon, she thought to herself.

He just pushed you off? What if you died? The Feebas panicked out loud.

Feebas looked at its trainer with worry. The fish pokemon was somewhat aware of what happened before it was called out of the capsule. Although Feebas was capable of seeing outside of its pokeball, all it saw were dark shadows moving around with sounds and voices being muffled in the backgrounds. The fish pokemon came out of its pokeball expecting its trainer to be alright, safe on land, and ready to command it. It wasn't expecting to be saving its trainer from drowning.

"Celebi and Suicine this time..." She said to herself in a whisper. Satsuki reminded Feebas, "You are here."

That's not the point... Her Feebas argued the already losing battle.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here and alive, aren't I? Now lets get to shore... The water is freezing..."

Being the recent addition to the team, the painted fish asked its trainer, Did Entei come with us this time?

They were now a few meters away from the edge of the shore. Feebas spied a few bug and water pokemon nearby. Judging by the sun, it was still morning, a little before lunch, the fish thought. The fish thanked its lucky stars that its trainer wasn't thrown into a deeper body of water like the ocean. Being a water pokemon, Feebas thought it was odd for some humans to be incapable of swimming, but it never questioned why its trainer couldn't.

"Of course. How else am I supposed to go after the time traveling Pokemon and his brother?" Satsuki said nonchalantly. "He always does..." Which meant there was going to be a fight as always, she thought bitterly. The image of the blood painted floor was still vivid in her mind.

Sweet land, sorry it took so long, the Feebas whined as the two reached the sand.

"It's fine. There is no way for me to actually be able to teach you Surf..." She then said before Feebas opened her mouth. "We're not going to the gym. Sorry Fial..."

No problem. It just means I'm going to be a bit slower than most Pokemon, she answered as cheerfully as she possibly could, but Satsuki knew better. Swimming on a Pokemon that didn't know Surf would not only be extremely slow, it becomes a struggle for the water Pokemon, just so it can swim and also to keep its rider from swallowing water.

"You are fine the way you are." Satsuki said firmly. "I told you, you are the best thing that I gotten since Hoenn." The raven haired teen felt her legs sliding over sand. It was shallow enough for an adult to swim in comfortably.

That's because I was the only one that came to you. Fial said sadly. Feebas came to that area because of lack of competition for food. The fish pokemon sighed as they finally made it to the shore. Feebas moved helplessly at the shallow sandy waters. The Magikarp were right, I am stupid.

"Don't you dare say that about yourself," the teenager snapped, scolding the modest fish. "If you were stupid, then I bet that you would have wound up in the ocean where you didn't belong rather than that river. Take a break, return!"

The fish looked uncertain as it returned to the red capsule. Satsuki sighed, as she dragged her drenched self into the forest. She finally stopped at a small clearing; tall and fresh grass swayed gently though the wind. She settled herself down on fallen log on the edge, closer to the dense dark trees of the famous Ilex Forest.

You're not ready, a soft melodic voice whispered. A small white figure the size of a doll sat by Satsuki's side. Her green hair hid her shy face; her red horns on her head glowed as she talked. It was easy to forget that Ralts often Teleported everywhere and her entries were quiet and unnoticeable.

"I haven't been here for five years," Satsuki admitted with a small voice. She looked up to see two Teddiursas wrestle around in front of her. Without acknowledging her presence, they rolled through the grass and right through a small berry bush, leaving her alone with her psychic Pokemon once again. "Of course I'm not. I'm so close to home, but I can't go back. I wonder if anyone still remembers me."

No one will forget you, Ralts sounded very sure of herself. You are the kindest trainer I have met. I wouldn't have came to you if you weren't so. She recalled the time when she woke up from her nap to discover the teenage girl running away from her. It was an odd situation where the pokemon pursued the trainer.

"I am an orphan and had to take care of myself alone in that small, but such a large house." Satsuki looked up at the big tree above her. "Who would remember a child that hardly went out if that child were to just disappear one day?"

No one is ever truly forgotten, the Feeling pokemon said wisely. Everyone leaves something behind, whether its their pokemon, family, friends, or influence. We all have legacies.

"I don't have a family and my only friends were children themselves," The girl briefly thought of her friends but shook her head. That was the past. Satsuki sighed right as she heard a whisper from the winds. She snapped her head towards her right, listening. She whispered to her Ralts, "I hear it... Return Hinata."

As soon as the Feeling Pokemon was completely stored into its Pokeball, the teenager whipped out another, and called out, "Entei, it's here!"

Entei's red eyes grew visible behind his crimson mask as he emerged majestically. The legendary beast bore a golden crest on its forehead and had a smokey gray mustache that kept its mouth hidden from view. The black cuffs on its ankles clanged as it landed steadily by the trainer on its fours.

A little green pokemon with a head three times larger than its body lazily flew out from their left, completely unaware of two watching its every movement. It spun around the clearing for a few seconds as Satsuki mounted the legendary dog. It finally opened its eyes after singing a tune to see Entei crouching down to pounce.

Well this doesn't look good, it peeped, then suddenly bolted back into the forest. What is Entei doing here in I-? It wondered out loud, but didn't have the chance to express it before crying out.

"Let's go!" she commanded as the fire pokemon leaped into a sprint. "We can't let it get away!"

Celebi! Entei roared as sparks flew around him. He jumped into the air to pounce at the small grass type. There's no point in running off! We both know who has the advantage in this fight! He nearly knocked the pokemon onto the ground before Celebi moved a little to the right to avoid getting crushed.

The time travel pokemon closed its eyes as its body began to glow. Its green head was tilted back as Celebi gazed at the sky above him. Entei and its trainer quickly noticed that the trees around them shimmered with a light blue glow.

"It's trying to travel through time," Satsuki realized and turned to the volcano pokemon. "Entei, quick! Stop it before it escapes!"

Entei spat out a thin line of a flames at Celebi to form a ring of fire around it. Hot white flames encircled the time traveling pokemon, trapping it from escape. The fire type watched it fly around helplessly within the limited space as the forest grew warmer from the fire's intensity.

Owwww! My foot is on fire! The little pokemon cried out as it danced impatiently into the nearest pool of water. It launched itself into a small puddle and stomped out the flames. Its shoulders slouched over in relief, Phew, no more fire~

Celebi's eyes flashed blue and summoned leaves from the ground and trees. It used its psychic powers to send the leaves flying at its predators.

"Hinata, use Disable!" The trainer's Ralts came out of its pokeball and halted Celebi from moving. "Ugh, can't just one pokemon stay still for once?" Satsuki asked out loud, her tone grim. Her hair was unevenly cut, full of leaves from the green pokemon's attack.

You took out Entei to go after me! The little thing whined, backing into a thick tree.

"How else was I supposed to keep up with you? I can't fly over roots and tree stumps!"

You could have flew on a Pidgey, Celebi frowned. I see it happen all the time. In fact, it once recalled seeing a person flying with a Pikachu. The electric rodent was holding onto a bunch of balloons.

"I... Don't have... A damn Pidgey!" the trainer gritted, hearing the phrase more than three times in the past five years. "And even if I did, it wouldn't know the move Fly!"

You are in no position to argue when you're injured. Entei said, looking at the badly burned grass pokemon. Where is Suicune? I sense my brother's presence in this forest. It demanded to know. Entei thought he saw a blaze of blue pass by the corner of his eye earlier.

That's enough, Entei. A blue leopard like pokemon appeared in front of the fire type. Its violet mane flowed in the wind. What brought you back here? It leered its red eyes at Entei with suspicion.

The little green pokemon slipped behind the water dog and closed its eyes as its body glowed momentary. The sound of a clear bell chimed in time with the pokemon rocking itself back and forth. When it returned to normal, the burns had vanished. Celebi opened its eyes again and bore its bright blue eyes at the legendary beast. Its savior was taller than the average man. The glares Entei and Suicune were sending to each other made the time traveling pokemon nervous.

Don't protect me, Celebi said to the aurora pokemon.

You are the spirit of the forest! Suicune scolded the forest sprite. He saw passed Entei that the forest pokemon were timidly scurrying away for shelter. Ilex Forest needs you!

There are times when some of us legendaries need to come together to stop disasters from coming. The time pokemon sighed. Its fragile wings fluttered weakly. My time has come. Your's however, has not. You need to tell Ho-Oh...

Satsuki's head snapped up in surprise as she exclaimed, "Ho-Oh? You know where Ho-Oh is?"

I'm sorry young human, but not even I know where Ho-Oh is. Father loves to fly around a lot. Suicune tossed its tangled mane in the air. The gentle wind played its white tails that were fluttering along with its long mangled mane. Wherever the pokemon's paws touched left small shards of dew on the soft grass. It was well aware of how much attention it was getting and seemed to be soaking up every moment of it. The girl opened her mouth before shutting it, as if eager to hear more from the aurora pokemon.

As much as I would love to stay here to chat, oh my, look at time. Suicune stage whispered and made a stance, all fours spread out with his head tipped down at the ground. The forest grew misty with fog gradually clouding the floor. It slowly fade away against the white fog. Though, even if I did know, there is no reason to be telling you. Its normally drawling voice suddenly snarled on the last few words. The trainer could hear it nimbly move around in the misty clouds.

Celebi, on the other hand, stared at the fog where he thought Suicune was. You can hear us? It was referring to Satsuki. Beforehand, Celebi was too shocked from the sudden attack to notice it. It only noticed when Suicune came to its rescue to slow down time. Time for it to make its move.

That won't be the last human to be able to, Satsuki and Entei heard him laugh. Its laugh was soft and pleasant. It didn't match with the atmosphere. There are whispers of another man somewhere else holding the same talent. His laughter echoed through the forest. The fog quietly disappeared with the aurora pokemon nowhere to be seen. The only proof of Suicune's entry was the dew left on the grass and trees.

"Aaaand he left." Satsuki puffed out a breath, half annoyed and secretly relieved. Although she had no device to tell her, Suicune's attitude and body language gave off the air that it was just as strong as Entei. "I guess we have to go spend the next two days chasing him down..."

And Celebi? The volcano pokemon muttered a little too loudly. Without a second thought, the time traveling pokemon dashed out from the scene again. Satsuki watched Celebi struggle to fly back to the deeper part of the forest. One of its wings was injured. It was almost painful to see it fly but constantly floating off course to one side.

"You had to say something?" Satsuki sighed as the two chased after it for the second time that day.

Viridian Gym

Viridian City, a city found at the edge of Viridian Forest, a bug trainer's paradise. Viridian City is located near the Pokemon League entrance and was home to the Trainer House and a pokemon gym. The Trainer House not only acted as a place for trainers to stay overnight and battle, but was also home to the Pokemon League Association, an organization that was in charge of the regulations on pokemon gyms and pokemon treatment. All seemed well, until a loud screech pierced the once quiet neighborhood, which sent several Pidgeys and Spearows squawking out of the trees in annoyance. Several townspeople chose to ignore the disturbance. The commotion was not foreign to the citizens of Viridian City.

"My Raticate!"

The person facing opposite to the source of the cry had to stop himself from sighing with boredom. His face was hidden by the darkness of the gym, but he was clearly struggling to stay neutral on the battle's results. The only source of light was from the neon lights patterned on the floor and sides of the building.

"My Raticate is the top percentage of all Raticates!" The person continued to sob as he hugged the husky brown rodent in his arms. He quietly murmured something before becoming silent. A small clicking sound echoed within the building; soft red light quickly lit up the dark room. The person was recalling his knocked out companion.

"Youngster Joey is out of Pokemon! Youngster Joey blacked out!" A man clad in blinding yellow, the referee, announced.

"I did not black-out!" the teenage boy protested, although he did look exhausted from the match. His voice cracked from frustration from straining his voice. His yellow shirt was drenched with sweat.

The gym leader didn't bother with any attempts of reassuring the childish trainer. This was all a routine. The young boy lost today, just as he did yesterday. And last week. And the week before that... Despite protests from the Trainer House, the gym leader held a strong policy of only battling trainers who have obtained seven badges. It was anyone's guess how the youngster trainer made it so far with so few pokemon. He reluctantly waited for the boy to quiet down.

"If you want to beat me," the gym leader finally spoke after an awkward pause, "Go re-learn the fundamentals. Maybe then, you will have a better chance of defeating me."

If the words were meant to make the trainer feel any better, his words had failed. Joey replied with a sniffle before glaring at the gym leader. The older trainer glared back. So much for the assumption that those who made it to seven badges would take defeats more maturely.

"My Raticate is the best of all Raticate," the youngster said thickly; he felt sick. His stomach protested.

"If you think that's going to convince me of giving you a badge, you're hoping for too much."

"I -" Thud! The youngster collapsed from exhaustion, he was still clutching onto his only pokeball.

Once again, the room was silent before the man in the yellow shirt sighed, "Another trainer fainted."

"They always black out when they lose," the gym leader said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"What will I tell the nurse?" the referee asked.

The other coolly responded, "The same as usual." The referees nodded and lift the boy to take him to the nearest hospital.

The referee knew it was pointless to ask the gym leader to go easier on the trainers. The man had worked for the previous gym leader, and the last one wasn't easily swayed. The referee wasn't expecting the new gym leader to be more easy going. He also knew that most gym leaders found it an insult to go easy on challengers. That was the general attitude of most trainers anyway.

Once the referee and the boy left, Green Ookido finally sighed in relief. It was eerily quiet, but a hint of someone's presence lingered within the gym. There was only one person the gym leader knew who could walk that quietly. He blinked for a few seconds before finally saying, "Red, I know you're in here."

His answer was silence. The dark room was still from the end of the battle. There was no one inside the building except Green and a few of the junior trainers, who were still taking a sip of their coffee, barely awake in the cold foggy morning. It was hard to see much inside the room. The neon lights only shone enough to see what was a few feet in front of you. He heard footsteps approaching.

"What is it?" His heart stopped. Why would he be here?

"They're acting odd."

"Who is acting odd?" His quiet breathing was barely audible.

"The pokemon. The legendaries are missing."

Author Notes: Yes, there will be legendary pokemon battles, with more personality and dialogue~ It would be rather boring to watch multiple fights with legendaries of the same personality, wouldn't it?
