Well it was a long delay but I think that this chapter is worth the wait.
Oh and any thing in <> is a pokemon speaking.

Chapter Five: Team Sky’s First Attack
**********************************************************
In the proximity of Pacificlog Town there lies three islands where each one holds secrets and dangers greater than the last
The first is the Mirage Island. Why is it called this? Well it is said that it is only a mirage and it is only of misfortune that you should find yourself on it. For the only people to land on the island where but only sea merchants that found themselves mourned. They have said that it seemed to come out of fog and swallow one up whole and never spit you out for days at a time.
The second is the island where the Sky Pillar resides. It has earned itself the nickname “The Hell of the Sea” as it has caused the most deaths of people and pokemon alike known to date. For surrounding it is a labyrinth of jagged rocks and ferocious storm surges that push and pull any ship into currents and the rocks for a most certain doom. And even if you manage to emerge form the labyrinth there still remains the challenge of scaling all one hundred floors of the oldest remaining structure of all of Hoenn. Where most of the floor has been cracked and broken to where even if a feather were to land on it, it would crumble and whoever stands on the floor would fall to a certain death. And if that’s not enough, behind every corner there lies the most vicious and cruel of all beasts that will surly kill anything that wonders in their path.
But as intimidating and mysterious as those islands are, the real intimidation and mystery lie with the third. Nothing lies on it but a single violent green tower that reaches up into the heavens. Thunder roars and rain falls from the thick layer of clouds that surround the tower’s roof. Passer bye can only wonder what goes on in the tower as no one who has entered it has come out. The only thing to ever leave the island was a reptilian green jet in the form of a dragon.
But, on the top floor, high above the clouds are two doors one blue and the other red. Behind the red door lies a layer that looks like the inside of a volcano with the heat to match. Currently nobody occupies the room but across the hall, behind the blue door, one person stands. The room has been modeled to look like that of underwater. It has a dark blue shine and fish tanks with angry and hungry carvanha surrounding the room. In the center there sits a laptop on a desk. Behind the desk is the only thing that pierces through the utter deep-sea darkness of the room. It is a woman with fiery red hair and a white powdered face and body. The only things one her face are her blood red lipstick and her dark blue eyes. She wears a scaly green blazer over an aqua blue shirt and black satin dress.
On the computer there lie two files. The first is a picture of a large white building with a red roof. It has a beautiful garden and neatly grown trees surrounding it and a giant “P” lies in the center of the roof. The building stands in the back of a town that is dotted with simple houses, a school, a mall, parks, a hospital, anything one would expect to see in a quiet little town. In the front of the town lies a big sign with the words “Welcome to Oldale” in big black letters.
The other file is and article with a photo attachment. The article read:
Dr. Vincent Spencer, a local to Oldale and expert on ancient times of Hoenn, is preparing to leave on an expedition to the Sky Pillar, the oldest standing structure of our country. There he plans to scale all hundred floors to see what he can find out about the sky dragon of yore, Rayquaza. He states, “We all know the story about how the ancient feuding pokemon, Kyogre and Groudon, who fought across our land and destroyed everything in their path. Well the story also mentions a large green monster descending from the sky that quelled their fighting. In my expedition, I plan to find out all I can about this monster.” His base of preparation is the Oldale Pokemon Center where the gracious Nurse Joy has offered him full use of the facilities free of charge.
The photo shows a picture of the doctor, a young, tall, and handsome man. He has long brown hair tied neatly into a ponytail. His baby-blue eyes are like crystal clear lakes on his clean-shaven face. He wears a blue shirt under a white lab coat tucked neatly into long kaki pants.
The woman, after taking a long lustful look at the picture, said clearly into a microphone on her head, “O.K. Here’s the plan.”
The recipient of the message was a tall man with pitch-black hair. His skin was the brownish color one tends to get after being exposed to intense heat and was covered in burn scars. He wore green shades over his beady black eyes and a black blazer over his red shirt that was tucked into a pair of black blue jeans. He nodded slightly to the message and walked into Oldale’s Pokemon Center.
**********************************************************
<Get off of my foot ya b****>
“Well I wouldn’t be on it if you hadn’t suggested we take this GD shortcut.”
<Oh yeah! This is my fault Miss I forget the map back at the lab>
<Um pardon me Madams but I am getting ever so tied of your constant bickering>
“Oh shut up you little b******. You’re no less to blame than us.”
<What do you mean>
“Well if we hadn’t had been following your leader ship, then Torchic never would have suggested we go this way.”
<Oh is that so. Then take this>
“Ouch that was my shoulder you stuck your talon into.”
<I know. Ouch! That was my beak>
“Dahm straight.”
<Shut up you two and lets get out of here. Gaaaaa>
<What happened>
<I tripped into a tree>
“That’s my leg”
<Ha Ha! I mean sorry>
<Hey look I see a light>
“Quick let’s get out of here.”
<Agreed>
And in a mad dash towards the light the girl, Lisa Fisher, and her two pokemon, Torchic and a Hoot-hoot named Clarence emerged from a thicket of trees into the town of Oldale, only a few feet from the main entrance.
“You stupid idiots! We went through all of that to find out we were only three feet form the main path,” Lisa shouted as she picked up her feathered friends and clocked their heads together.
<Ouch! Watch the abuse wills ya> Clarence complained as he rubbed his head with his wing.
<Don’t worry about it buddy. At least our feather aren’t covered in mud and twigs like Lisa is> said Torchic as she ran for her life form her trainer.
“Why you little. Get back and take what’s coming to ya,” the enraged Lisa said as she gave chase to her lil’ chick.
When the dust from where the starting point of the chase had cleared, Clarence thought <Women! Can’t live with ‘em. Can’t live without ‘em> and hopped after his crazed friends.
In and out of the streets of Oldale and around the whole city, over every hill and though every park, past every building and around every corner the chase gave way until Torchic ran head first into another leg.
The little chick fell over and looked up too see a tall man with graying brown hair. He had brown eyes and wore a skintight black t-shirt to show of a ripped body. He had on blue jeans and a kind fatherly face. He was getting on in age but he was still good looking. Torchic did not run in fear as he picked up the little bird and stroked her gently on the head and back. As he was doing this he said, “Now where did you come from?”
He looked around and saw a girl dressed in a green skirt and blue shirt that were covered in mud. She had blue hair that had twigs sticking out of it and a little owl pokemon was hopping right behind her. They were running down the dirt path that led up the green sunny hill to where the man was standing looking at his town.
As he watched Lisa and Clarence get closer he looked down at Torchic and said, “Is that your trainer?”
<Unfortunately yes>she thought as she nodded her head.
When Lisa was only a few feet form the man she said, “Oh thanks for finding my Torchic Mr. …”
“Luther. My name’s Luther. And actually she found me I should say,” he said in a kind fatherly voice, “And you?”
“I’m Lisa. I’ve just started my pokemon journey a few days ago and I’m still trying to get my Torchic under control. Feisty thing she is,” explained Lisa, “And this is my Hoot-hoot, Clarence.”
Clarence then hopped over to Luther and began rubbing against his leg.
“Pokemon love you don’t they,” Lisa asked as she watched this going on.
“Well it’s just a gift I guess. I just seems that all pokemon feel calm and safe around me. That’s why I was born a natural trainer and won at the Hoenn League. I also was quite good at Contests as well because of my gift,” Luther told her.
“Some people get all the luck. My pokemon seem to get stronger than me and take cracks at me every day,” Lisa slumped.
“Don’t worry lass. Just keep working at it and try to get stronger bonds with them and they will grow to love you,” Luther said as he placed Torchic into Lisa arms.
“Thanks for the encouragement. Oh and by the way, I went all over this town chasing after this little guy and didn’t see any pokemon center. I’m in desperate need of a rest and a shower and these two need rest as well. Do you know where it is,” Lisa said after taking in Luther’s words and cheering up a little.
“Why yes. It’s right down the other side of this hill. You can’t miss it,” Luther said, “Now if you excuse me I must be going.”
The three watched as Luther headed down the hill towards town and Lisa said, “What a nice man.”
<Yeah! He must want to get in your pants> Torchic said.
**********************************************************
Lisa walked through the glass sliding doors into one of the most glorious sites in her eyes, a Pokemon Center Lobby. There were trainers of all sorts there: locals, travelers, and even some elite who liked like they were getting ready for the Hoenn League. They were all friendly and they all had smiles on their faces. They talked about their pokemon and of pokemon battles to come and of battles that had come. Lisa liked hearing about the stories and how much detail each trainer put into them. She noticed Chansey’s bringing treys of pokeballs back to their trainers. She could smell nice, hot, delicious food coming form the kitchen. But the thing that she liked the most was the stories that she had heard form the pokemon coordinators. She loved how intense the battles were described and how the spotlight was on you. She loved to hear how beautiful and graceful the pokemon could be. But most of all she loved seeing some of the trainers perform.
A group of trainers took her out back to a field so she could see some of their pokemon’s moves. A girl a few years older than her named Kelsey who had brown pigtails went first.
“Go Snorunt. Icy Wind.”
In a flash of light a little cone shaped pokemon came out and sent a chilling blue breeze across the grass. Then he started to skate across the ice. Half way across he jumped into the air and nailed a perfect triple twirl and landed in a bow.
“How’s that,” Kelsey asked.
Lisa speechless only applauded.
“You think that’s good. Then watch this,” said a boy in a red jumpsuit, “Go Cumbusken. Combo skyuppercut and Firespin.”
In a dazzling performance the fowl pokemon leaped out of its ball and sent a red twister into the sky. Then he followed up with another leap and his left fist began to glow. He leaped right at the fire tornado and hit it with his fist. The fire broke up and fell over the ice in a reign of fire. The fire sparkled on the ice then melted. Hoots and hollers were heard form the people watching the performance. Lisa almost fainted. She looked down a torchic’s ball and said to herself that she would pull off that move when her torchic evolved. Another glance at the pokeball and she remembered why she had come to the pokemon center in the first place. She was still covered in filth and was in desperate need of a bath.
As she reentered the pokemon center she noticed that a lot of people were wearing green and said, “What is it St. Patrick’s Day,” then laughed at her own joke.
<Lame>snorted Clarence and Torchic to each other.
“I heard that,” Lisa said back.
Lisa walked up to Nurse Joy and was greeted with a smile form the pink haired beauty.
“Hello! Welcome to the Pokemon Center. How may I be of assistance to you?”
“Hi! I would like a room for the night and could you heal my pokemon please,” Lisa asked.
“Certainly! Here’s your room key and I’ll just give these to my Chaney,” Joy said as she took Lisa’s pokeballs and gave them to the big pink egg like pokemon. Then she handed Lisa her room key.
“Thanks,” said Lisa with thoughts of a warm shower as she walked with increasing speed towards her room.
She was so preoccupied with the thought of a shower only moments away that she didn’t notice a man standing right in front of her talking with two of the people in green. So she ran right into him.
“Whoa there missie. Where’s the fire,” said the man she ran into.
“Oh sorry I …,” she was dumbfounded by the beauty of the man.
“
AHHHHHHHHHH! YOUR DR. SPENCER VOTED TOP FIVE HOTTEST GUYS BY TEEN SEEN MAGIZINE. AND YOU TALKED TO ME. OH NO I A MESS DON’T LOOK AT ME DON’T LOOK AT ME,” Lisa shouted as her expression changed form that of awe to that of concern.
“Wow! Funny and Cute. Tell you what why don’t you go take a shower and let me finish my chat with these two and we can do supper,” Dr. Spencer said laughing over the fuss Lisa was making.
“
OMFG. THANKS BUT I’M NOT WORTHY OF YOU,” Lisa shouted as she ran down to her room.
**********************************************************
When the arrived in the kitchen she was so clean that the lights reflected form her. And she was a nervous wreck. She was also about to p*** herself she was so excited. She looked around the room for the doctor but couldn’t find him. But she did spot the two people he had been talking with. One was a girl and one was a guy. They were both wearing matching green jumpsuits and had tanned faces and black hair. Both pairs of eyes were red. They looked almost the same. In fact the only difference between them was where their clothes bulged. They were waving Lisa over to the table they were sitting at. She felt reluctant but in the end she walked over to join them.
“Hi,” they said in unison as she sat down.
“Hello,” she replied, “Where’s Dr. Spenser?”
“What kind if introduction is that,” said the female twin, “Let’s try again. Hello! I’m Taylor.”
“And I’m Toby,” said her bother.
“Lisa,” said Lisa, “Where’s Dr. Spenser.”
She was beginning to get annoyed with the twins.
“Well he waited with us for you’re here but when you didn’t show up he said he was behind on his work and went back to his room,” Toby explained.
“Yes! And he told us to wait here for you to tell you that he’s sorry for missing you and not to disturb him in his room,” Taylor added.
“Oh dang I was really looking forward to seeing him,” Lisa said in a whiney voice, “I’ll never get this chance again.”
“We’re sorry but we’ve got to be going,” Taylor said faking sympathy.
“Yeah! We’ve got a meeting with the doc and the boss later tonight,” said Toby.
“Good b… wait she just said the doctor wasn’t seeing anyone and then you just said you’re going to see him tonight at a meeting,” Lisa said as she stopped them from leaving, “Which is it?”
“Uhhhhhhhh! You see he means that we’ve got to see the foot doctor with our boss. He’s having ingrown toenail surgery and the boss needs us there to be with him,” Taylor explained with a plastic smile on her face.
“Right! Well bye Toby and Taylor,” Lisa said as the twins were leaving.
**********************************************************
As she was walking out the door of the kitchen and back to her room, Lisa heard voices coming from behind a door.
“You idiot. You almost blew our cover with that kid.”
“I know sis. Will sorry cut it this time?”
“It’s going to have to for now. Cum on. We’ve got to go get Spenser for the meeting.”
**********************************************************
Lisa went back to the Lobby to check on her pokemon and to see if anyone could tell her anything about Coordinating before she went to her room for the night.
The found it empty except for a few Chansey cleaning it as now everyone had either left, was at supper, or had gone to sleep. So she walked over to Nurse Joy.
“Hello Lisa! You’re pokemon a fully healed and rearing to go. I hope to see you again.”
“Thanks. By the way have you noticed anything odd about those people in green,” Lisa asked.
“No I haven’t. But a lot of them did just leave a few minutes ago. Why,” replied Joy.
“Oh no reason. Good night,” Lisa said as she thought,
“Why did they leave.”
While walking out of the lobby and clipping back her pokeballs she heard, “Hi Lisa! It’s me Luther.”
<Remember to keep your pants on>chirped Torchic
“You know. It’s been really quiet without you,” Lisa said.
<We know! But we also know you’ve missed us>Clarence said back.
“Yes! For some reason I did. It’s odd,” replied Lisa.
Luther walked up to Lisa and they did the hug thing when she asked, “What are you doing here.”
“Well since my son left on his journey a few days ago and I wouldn’t be leaving anybody at home I was asked to be protection to Dr. Spenser at night,” Luther replied.
“Oh good luck with that. Good night.” Lisa said as she left the lobby.
“Hey Joy,” Luther said, “I’ve got the lobby covered why don’t you close up for the night.”
“Thank you Luther,” replied Joy, “You’ve always been so good to me. All right girls its closing time.”
As she said that the Chansey turned on some disco music and with Nurse Joy the girls started cleaning to the disco beat. Luther just watched in amazement as the pink eggs and the nurse danced and finished their cleaning. Finally on the chorus of “Boogie Shoes” they locked up did curtseys and exited to the back room and the music stopped leaving Luther dumfounded at the sight he just saw.
**********************************************************
“No! No! No! There my boogie shoes not yours Mr. Lincoln.”
<Humans have the weirdest dreams> thought Clarence.
<AHHHHHHH! George Washington singing Brittany Spears. It burns>
<I stand corrected>
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
“What was that,” Lisa said getting up from the soft white silky sheets of the Pokemon Center beds.
<I don’t know>said Torchic getting up from Lisa’s bed as well.
<Let’s go see> said Clarence
Lisa quickly got dressed, returned her pokemon, and ran out the room, down the hall, and into the lobby.
When she arrived she saw tables and chairs overturned and chairs broken. The plants were all over as was the dirt. Even the books had been scattered and thrown everywhere. She also saw Luther huddled over Nurse Joy trying to help her up.
She ran over and quickly asked, “What happened.”
Luther turned to Lisa and said, “She’s been hit by someone and the wind’s been knocked out of her.”
“JOY GET UP. COME ON GIRL UP AND AT ‘EM,” Lisa screamed.
That seemed to have worked as Nurse Joy woke up and said, “A man and a woman dressed in green suits with black S’s on the front came through and took the Doctor with them. Then they destroyed the lobby and knocked me down.”
“We’ve got to go save the doctor,” Lisa said in a worried manner.
“You’re right. Lets go,” Luther said.
The Three of them then ran out the door and into the cool early morning. On the ground they noticed tracks leading off into the forest behind the Pokemon Center. The three of them ran through the forest and came to a halt when they came to a clearing. In it were about five women and six men. Four of the women wore black miniskirts and green poncho tops and three of the men wore black pants with green t-shirts. The other three people were wearing almost the as the grunts except they all had green and black hoods over the heads. Two of them were holding a man in place in the center of the circle and the other man, who was standing in front of the captive, seemed to be talking. Luther, Lisa, and Joy realized him to be the leader as he was wearing green shades to stand out and his uniform showed a red “S” instead of a black one like the rest of the team had. They also noticed that behind the circle of people there was a large jet. It was a reptilian green color and looked like some sort of dragon. Its wings had edges that were sharp at the ends and on each wing was painted a giant black “S” that looked like the “S” on the team’s uniforms. There were also strange black circle like markings over the body of the jet.
“Can you hear what they’re saying,” Lisa asked.
“No. Lets get closer,” Luther answered.
“Yes. But let’s crawl up so they don’t see us,” Joy suggested.
Luther, Lisa, and Joy got down into the wet grass and began to crawl over to the clearing. It was a messy task but the finally made it to the clearing. Luther motioned to some bushes and the two women agreed. Once behind the bushes the three of them leaned their heads towards the conversation to listen in.
**********************************************************
“Now Doctor either come with us peacefully or we’ll just have to do this the hard way,” the Leader said.
“Yeah! The hard way,” the admens responded. Lisa recognized their voices to be that of Toby and Taylor.
**********************************************************
The silence between the three was broken when Joy whispered, “Those are the two who took the doctor and destroyed the lobby.”
“Their names are Toby and Taylor. I met then earlier this night. I knew there was something strange about them,” Lisa whispered back.
“Shut up and listen,” Luther whispered to the girls, as they weren’t supposed to be talking.
“Sorry,” they replied.
“Shut up.”
**********************************************************
“Why should I? What did I ever do to you,” Dr. Spenser argued as he tried to wiggle his way out of the strong grip the twins had on him.
The Leader said calmly back, “You see it’s not what you have done, it’s what you will do for us. A few years ago after the downfall of Magma and Aqua, the teammates were confused and afraid. But some of us did not want to give up the old way of life so we formed a new team, Team Sky. We, Team Sky, remembered the green beast of the sky that overpowered both Groudon and Kyogre and we have made that pokemon our motivation and target of capture. We know you are the expert on that pokemon and we need you to help us get it. So now I ask you again. You can come with us peacefully or we can go with the hard way.”
”I’ll never help you with your motives,” the enraged doctor yelled back to the Leader.
“Is that so. Toby, Taylor do your stuff,” the Leader said with an evil grin, “I love the hard way.”
“We’re on it,” the twins replied with the same evil grins as they let go of the doctor and took out their pokeballs and threw them at Dr. Spenser.
Taylor’s came first and took the form of a big green mantis pokemon that had a menacing look and two sharp sickles for hands that looked like they could slice though a body in a heartbeat.
Toby’s took the form of a short white shell covered pokemon with a black face that had piercing red eyes in the middle of it. It stood on four stubby black legs and the rest of its body was covered in a thick white shell.
“Shellgon, Scyther, attack,” shouted the twins with evil grins.
Scyther was going to slash right though Dr. Spenser’s skin with his out stretched sickles for hands and one of Shellgon’s feet was of the ground and began to glow red as he prepared for a dragon claw. The doctor only watched in fear and could do nothing to save himself as his pokemon were back at the pokemon center.
Luther and Joy were also watching in fear as the sight of their friend’s torture was getting to them. They were too stunned to do anything.
Lisa had had enough. She was tired of sitting and watching. She took her two pokeballs from her belt and made a dash for Team Sky. She threw them into the air and shouted, “
TORCHIC, CLARENCE, PROTECT DR. SPENSER.”
In a blaze of light the two pokemon jumped fin front of the doctor. Torchic’s eyes began to glow red and she shot orange flares at Scyther. The attack hit with a great amount of force that caused it to fly back to Taylor and fall to the ground, burning in pain.
Clarence hopped in front of Shellgon and sent a red flash of light from his eyes right at it. The dragon stopped its assault and fell to the ground, asleep from the hypnosis.
Seeing this ordeal take place it fount of them, Team Sky and Dr. Spenser turned around and saw Lisa running towards them.
“Lisa,” shouted the doctor, joyful at the site of his rescuer.
“Lisa,” shouted the twins angry at their loss.
“Get that girl,” the Leader shouted to his team.
The grunts took their pokeballs and threw them towards Lisa. The pokemon varied form Vibravas, to Poochyena’s, to Zubats, to Numels.
The group of pokemon took a leap toward Lisa for a group tackle to knock the young girl back and out cold.
Torchic and Clarence jumped to save their trainer but Toby and Taylor grabbed them and restrained them in their arms.
The Leader smiled and took hold of the doctor, as Spenser watched in fear at the site of Lisa about to be pummeled.
The grunt’s pokemon were about to strike and Lisa covered her face in fear. But in another blaze of light a tall red and yellow magma pokemon with black braces on its legs, arms, and neck and a fat pink egg-like pokemon appeared in front of the girl to protect her.
“
Chansey, Hyper Beam,” screamed Joy.
“
Magmar, Fire Blast,” shouted Luther.
A bright yellow light stroke against half of the pokemon while a star shape of fire hit the other half. All of the pokemon fell to the ground and Chansey and Magmar glared at the grunts from behind the pile of fainted pokemon.
“Are you alright,” Joy asked as she helped the girl up and gave her a comforting hug.
“Yes! I’m fine but we’ve still got to save Dr. Spenser,” Lisa replied as she released herself form the embarrassing hug.
“Right! Magmar, use an Overheat on Team Sky,” Luther said as he ran up beside the women.
<
MAGMAR> the lava body pokemon shouted as he produced a red glow that flew over the clearing in a fiery blaze. It burned the grass and bushes to ash and dirt. It knocked back all of the grunts. It caused the twins to drop Torchic and Clarence and it caused the Leader to drop the doctor.
When the fire settled, Torchic and Clarence ran up to Lisa and gave her rubs and playful nips of love.
Dr. Spenser also got up and ran over his saviors.
“Thanks. I thought I was a goner,” he panted as he approached them.
“No problem. Now let’s take care of Team Sky,” Luther told his companions.
The four humans joined hands as there pokemon walked in front of them. All had death glares on their faces and the pokemon were ready to strike as they walked up to the grunts.
The glares and bond that the trainers and pokemon shared were enough to scare the grunts because the returned their pokemon and ran to hide in the jet.
The band of heroes then approached Toby and Taylor. But the twins weren’t scared by simple glares and the glared back.
“Fine then. Torchic, use ember and Clarence, use hypnosis,”
Lisa’s pokemon’s eyes both started to glow red as they reared up to attack. The faces on the twins changed from intimidation to fear.
“That’s enough for us,” the twins shouted as they returned Scyther and Shellgon to their balls and ran to the jet for cover.
“Two down and one to go,” said Dr. Spenser as the though that he was going to be fine raced through his head.
They slowly began approached the Leader, but his face showed no emotion whatsoever.
He was beginning to become enraged with his team as he said, “If you want something done right then you’ve got to do it yourself.”
He smirked an evil smirk that stopped the band of heroes in there tracks. They were starting to become weary from the man that stood before them. The Leader slowly took out a pokeball and shouted, “
Go Tyranitar.”
A huge rock hard dinosaur like pokemon with spikes going down its back and down his tail appeared in between them and the Leader. It looked down at the heroes and gave an earth shattering roar the caused a small earthquake.
“
Use Hyper Beam,” the Leader shouted.
The giant pokemon’s eyes glowed white and it shot a yellow beam of light at the heroes that sent them flying all over the clearing. The humans had only been knocked down by the attack but their pokemon had been knocked out. They didn’t stand a chance now, as they couldn’t battle. All they could do was watch in fear as the dinosaur roared a victory roar. Joy was lying over Chansey crying over her friend. Spenser was crying over the fact that any minuet he would be taken by Team Sky. Lisa and Luther were lying next to each other and they both only had one thought,
“We lost.”
The Leader smiled at his inevitable victory and said, “Now finish off with Sandstorm.”
Tyranitar roared and a big cloud of sand rose form the ground. He began spinning and the sand flew over the whole clearing and knocked down everything in its path. One by one the trainers fell to the ground knocked out by the storm.
When the dust settled, sand had been thrown over everything. Trees had been knocked over and the trainers were all in deep sleeps. The Leader returned his big brute and walked over to the doctor. He picked Spenser up and carried him back to the jet without even a glance at the others.
“I love the hard way,” he said as he threw the doctor down on the floor and climbed aboard the jet.
The jet took off into the night sky and the Leader walked over to its communication system sent the message:
“Leader T to Leader S. Mission was a success.”
**********************************************************
The sun rippled through the window and onto a pillow where a girl with blue hair slept. It awoke her from a peaceful sleep and she got out of her bed. She noticed she was naked and looked around the room for her knapsack. She smiled as she found her clothes lying neatly on top of it.
The girl smiled and went into the bathroom for a nice soothing shower. She washed thoroughly as she let the warm water cascade down her body and cleanse her of all the dirt and sand form the previous night’s battle.
After the shower she got dressed and walked into the lobby of the pokemon center where she saw Luther and Nurse Joy talking at the front desk.
“Hey Lisa,” said Luther in his once again fatherly voice, “Did you sleep well?”
She nodded her head and walked over towards Luther, “I thought that we all passed out after the battle. How did I get back to my room?”
Luther, not wanting the other trainers in the lobby to hear, whispered, “Well, after the battle I awoke from my coma and saw you sleeping beside me. All of us were there except for Dr. Spenser who I assumed was taken by Team Sky. After a few moments I saw Joy getting up and returning Chansey. I realized that you were still asleep so I took your pokeballs and returned Clarence and Torchic for you. Then I returned Magmar and gave them to Nurse Joy to heal. Since it was still dark we didn’t want to wake you so I carried you back and put you in your bed to sleep.”
“
GAAAAAAAAAAA! I WOKE UP WITHOUT ANY CLOTHES. YOU TOOK THEM OFF YOU SICK FREAK,” Lisa shouted causing everyone in the lobby to stare at them. The started giving Luther dirty looks as he fainted anime style.
Nurse Joy, wanted to calm the situation, quickly and said, “No he didn’t. I shooed him out the room and changed you.”
The trainers in the lobby turned back to their conversations after that comment and Lisa gave a sigh of relief.
Luther then turned to Lisa and in a serious tone said, “Listen Lisa, last night was only the first battle of many as Team Sky is still at large. We are now involved in their affairs and they know that. More than likely they will come after us to finish us off, as we are the only other people who know they exist. We must, until they are taken out, keep on our guards, stay alert, sleep with one eye open, and things like that. Do you understand?”
Lisa nodded to signify that she understood and replied, “Luther, I kind of already figured out that they would be coming after us. But don’t worry about me; with my pokemon I’ll be fine. Speaking of them, are they ready, Joy, I think I should be going.”
“Yes. Here they are,” Nurse Joy said as she handed Lisa back her pokeballs. Her face and body language showed that she was worried for the girl, but deep in her heart she knew that Lisa would be fine.
“Alright. Let’s go. I’ll escort you to the edge of town,” Luther said.
As Lisa and Luther were walking out of the center, she turned to Joy and said, “Thanks Joy for all of your help. Good Bye.”
They walked through the town of Oldale and watched children play, people walking to and from work, and just normal people who knew nothing of the dangers of Team Sky.
The walk was quiet and neither of them talked much to each other. Luther was thinking about how much work was needed to be done to bring down Team Sky. Lisa was thinking about what if she had never heard the scream last night. She would know nothing of Team Sky. She would be and normal trainer on a normal journey. That was what she wanted right now more than anything.
They only stopped once at the Mart to replenish Lisa’s supplies for her journey. Luther paid and Lisa was grateful for the man’s kindness.
When they reached the edge of town Luther asked for one more word with her before she left Oldale.
“Lisa,” he said, “I have a friend in Rustburo who may be able to help us take out Team Sky. His name is Stephen Stone. I have to remain here in Oldale and continue with Dr. Spenser’s research and I cannot go meet him. I want you to go in my place. He works in the Devon Cooperation Building where security is tight. To get in tell them that Luther Rougent sent you and you should be able to see him. Tell Stephen about what happened last night and he’ll tell you what to do from there.”
“I understand what to do but how do I get to Rustburo, I don’t have a map of Hoenn,” Lisa complained as she wondered about what information Stephen would give her.
“To get there you take this road. It will lead you straight into Petalburg. From Petalburg you go to Petalburg woods and you walk through the woods. After emerging form the woods you should see the skyscrapers of Rustburo. Follow them into the city,” he explained.
Then he remembered something he had been meaning to tell her from the start of the conversation, “Oh! You know I’m worried for you Lisa and not just because of Team Sky but also because you are going to be traveling all around Hoenn and from here on out all of you challenges will become tougher. I know your pokemon are not weak but there are other trainers out there who have stronger ones. You’ll have no protection and you’ll be on your own. I want you to promise me that you will train your pokemon each day to make them stronger so you can face those challenges and overcome them. Can you promise me that?”
Lisa looked down at her pokeballs and began to think. She thought about all of her challenges to come and thought that herself and her pokemon were strong but they could be stronger. She looked up at Luther and stared him in the eyes and said, “I know that I may not look strong now but like you said when we first met as long as I trust and grow and love my pokemon, we can overcome any obstacle and win any challenge. Don’t worry about us, Luther, we’ll be fine. Good bye.”
And with those words she turned from Luther and walked down the road and began her journey towards Rustburo and to be the best pokemon coordinator she could be.
