Beginning AN: here it is the next chapter. in regards to the movies exclusive to the Johto region I've only seen The mystery of The Unknown and Pokemon Heroes but I wouldn't mind adding in the movie involving Celebi. for the Celebi, Laoios & Latias movies since Team Rocket is permanently defunct in my story another criminal team will have to replace them. I'm thinking of having either Team Galactic or Team Plasma replace them. for Annie and Oakly since they're central characters to Pokemon Heroes perhaps have them be hired mercenaries of the chosen team. to give the readers a choice I'll create a poll for it. now on with the story.

Chapter 17: Violet City Gym and Ruins of Alph

In Violet City they spend the night in the pokemon center before heading to the gym where they find Gym Leader Falkner.

The first pokemon Ash sends out is Athena, while Falkner sends out Hoothoot. Athena then used Agility to speed up then thunderbolt followed by quick attack for the win. The next pokemon was Dodrio, who also used Agility, and dodged Thunderbolt by jumping high in the air, that however just let Athena Teleport on Dodrio's back and deal a point blank Thunder driving him into the arena for the win. The final pokemon was Pidgeot. Pidgeot was fast using Quick Attack and flying to dodge while Athena could teleport away from danger. Eventually however Athena got Pidgeot by using a Rain Dance, Thunder combo followed by a wild charge to the head while Pidgeot was down for the win.

"Congratulations. You have earned the Zephyr Badge." Falkner said giving the badge. "I must admit I have been inspired to work more and train harder. I wish you luck in the Johto League."

"So what do you want to do now?" Hela asked. "We just finished the gym so we have time before we head to the next one."

"Well, I heard there's ruins near here." James said. "I would like to check it out."

"The ruins of Alph." Red said. "I've been there before. I heard there are four sliding puzzles that need to be solved, but no one has done so yet."

"Then let's go." Titania smiled.

When they arrived The first puzzle they went to was the top right, while Titania solved it Jessie James and Meowth were looking around and found a hidden room with a Berry, Peccha Berry, Heal Powder, and Energy Powder.

"Got it!" Titania cheered as she finished the Kabuto picture causing the floor to drop below them.

"There is a strange presence here." Titania said looking around with Hela and Dawn, while Lily had been returned to the pokeball when they fell.

"Hey look a message." Red said. "Our words shall remain here for the ages."

"I wonder what that means." Jessie asked.

"Don't know but let's get to the other puzzles." Titania said teleporting them back to the first puzzle where Red then showed them the way to the second puzzle where Titania got to work while Jessie, James, and Meowth searched for another hidden room.

This time the hidden Room, Jessie, James, and Meowth found contained Heal Powder, Energy Root, Gold Berry, and a Moon Stone.

"Got it." Titania said completing the Aerodactyl puzzle before they were once more dropped down.

"The presence is stronger." Hela said.

"Thus we shall erect a Pokémon statue outside" Red said looking at the inscription.

They then teleported back and Red led them to the third puzzle at the upper left, with the remains of the Sacred Fire that was used to destroy the horcrux being enough to open the hidden room here containing, Revival Herb, Charcoal, Gold Berry, and Mystery Berry.

"Got it." Titania said making it look like Ho-oh and thus solving the puzzle and making them fall through the floor again.

"I am getting tired of falling through the floor." Jessie complained as she landed on Meowth.

"There is only one more puzzle left." James tried to calm her down.

"That presence is getting even stronger." Dawn mentioned looking around.

"We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them. We depart for their sakes." Red read the last of the words before they teleported back atop and continued to the last puzzle in the lower left.

This time the hidden room contained Stardust, Star Piece, Mystery Berry, and Mystic Water.

"Finished." Titania said making a picture of Omanyte as they fell through the floor one last time.

Upon landing they had just enough time to see the inscription "They possess great insight and refuse the outside world" before they were forced to the ground by a massive presence. With Red, Jessie, James, Meowth, and Lily passing out, while Athena was barely staying awake, and Hela, Dawn, and Titania were staying upright by sheer force of will, each having a stronger soul then the others allowing them to stay standing, though it was difficult.

In front of them the presence made itself known as a hoard of Unknown showed up and surrounded them, focusing mostly on Titania but being impressed by the others.

"SO YOU ARE THE ONE LORD ARCEUS IS INTERESTED IN." They said as they took Alphabet form the psychic presence of all of them almost overwhelming. "WE SHALL SEE WHY." With that they started making illusionary pokemon versions of their teams, and forcing them to fight. Luckily they had kept up their training, believing that if they aren't willing to do something themselves then they can't be willing to ask it of others, and that as the leader of the teams, they must be the strongest. The hardest to fight however was Lily, Eventually they used Hypnosis to put her to sleep though and emerged victorious. "I SEE NOW WHY THE MASTER IS INTERSTED IN YOU THREE. I SHALL LEAVE A PART OF MYSELF WITH YOU TO AID YOU IN YOUR MISSIONS IN THE FUTURE."

With that from the alphabet form a shiny version of each Unknown came creating a smaller version of the alphabet form shiny Unknown, instead of the full version which had thousands of each letter. The shiny version then caught itself in Titania's pokeball before with a final "GOOD LUCK." and a flash of light they appeared in Azalea Town. since they were already there and it was night time when they were done with the exploration they checked in at the Pokemon Center had dinner and went to bed.

Ending AN: that's the chapter. this won't be the last time the Unknown make an appearance there's still the Mystery of The Unknown filler Arc for the movie involving them and Entei. personally I'm thinking of having Annie and Oakly replace Jessie, James and Meowth in that movie arc so Hela, Titania and friends would know what to expect from them in the Pokemon Heroes filler Arc. as to when Mystery of The Unknown and the other two Johto movies could take place perhaps a filler arc perhaps at three badges Mystery of The Unknown could be done, at six badges the Celebi movie and after having all eight Johto badges Pokemon Heroes could be done.

Next Time: Hela and Titania defeat Bugsy and they and their friends meet Kurt the Pokeball creator, Explore the Slowpoke well and make their way through the Ilex Forest before checking in at the Golden Rod City Pokemon Center for the night.
