Closed Heart - The Complete Circle Edition
Closed Heart tells the tale of the daughter of Rui, the girl who traveled with the hero of Pokemon Colosseum, whose name is Heather. When Heather and her friends learn that CIPHER attempts to once again conquer the Orre region and the world, she vows to stop them at any cost. But will the cost go too high?

3/22/06 - Chapter Two is now up! How will Heather stack up in her toughest tournament yet in Phenac City?
What is the Complete Circle Edition?
The Complete Circle Edition of this story was created because my original version (which only had five chapters at the time) published on Pokegym was based only on the events of Pokemon Colosseum. Once I learned of XD: Gale of Darkness coming out I postponed the story and waited to see what happened in the new game. Now with knowledge of both games, I rewrote Closed Heart in its new edition to correct for the inconsistancies and story expansion to include characters from the new game. Now up to nine chapters (at the time of this post) have been created and more are well on their way. For now I will let Serebii catch up one at a time.
Why republishing on Serebii?
Well the Complete Circle Edition is being posted piece by piece on the gym. However Serebii is more active in its fan fiction than the gym. It seems no one is responding to anyone's story at all on the gym right now. So Closed Heart makes its debut here today. Depending on any feedback, Serebii may become the home of premiere chapters of Closed Heart.

Closed Heart - The Complete Circle Edition
by Craig Simpson
Chapter 1
In the Orre region, a region stricken by heat and dusty winds, a young man along with a teenaged girl saved this barren land. Shadow Pokémon terrorized the land under the command of their cruel masters. The heart of the operation, the CIPHER Organization, was destroyed when the young man challenged them and freed the Pokémon who were trapped by their own hearts. Five years passed with peace, until CIPHER resurfaced, but only to fail to a group of freedom fighters led by a twelve year old boy. Since then Orre remains quiet and isolate, the only reminder of Cipher shorted lived reign was the RealgamTower.
Fifteen Years Later since the second CIPHER incident…
The crowds roared shaking the old foundations of Pyrite Colosseum. A girl around her teen years was carefully watching over her Pokémon, Scyther, fight hard in the arena against her opponent’s Primeape. The battle was going very fierce. It started very smoothly however her opponent seemed more desperate to win in every move.
“Primeape use Mega Punch.” The angry trainer commanded. The exhausted Primeape desperately attempted to make a powerful strike however the girl saw it coming and was ready.
“Scyther, use Fly.”
“What! It can learn that!”
The Scyther lunged into the air and avoided Primeape’s attack easily.
“Now let’s make the final blow!” The girl said.
“Scyther!” the Mantis Pokémon said as it struck the Primeape head on. It was easily knocked out in that finishing blow.
“No!” the man ranted. It was clearly obvious he was angry about his loss.
The judge looked over and declared the girl the winner.
“Alright! Way to go Scyther!” the girl said.
“Scyther!” the Pokémon said while dancing around with its bladed arms.
“You haven’t heard the end of this!” the opponent said.
“Dude just chill out.” The judge said. “It is just a simple tournament, its not like the Orre Championship.”
The loser stomped out in anger. While the girl fell to her knees in happiness.
“Congratulations, Heather.” The judge said.
“Thank you.” Heather said as she bowed to the judge.
“Here is 2000 dollars for your victory. Please spend it wisely.”
“I will and I hope to participate here again someday.”
The crowds continued to cheer on Heather as she left the building. Outside it was another hot and musty day. Heather quickly worked her way out of town however her friends caught up quickly.
“Heather!” another girl cried out.
“Andrea, did you see my win?”
“I did! It was so great!” Andrea replied.
“Hey that was a great move at the last second there.” said a boy about the same age as Andrea.
“Thanks Shawn.” Heather said. “Well we better get home before it gets too late.”
“Yeah I think you started some unneeded rivalries in this town now.” Andrea replied.
Heather, Andrea, and Shawn headed for a hovercraft near the police station. They all got in and took off to the Northwest. It was an about an hour and the sun was setting. They finally got into AgateVillage by dusk.
Heather waved goodbye to her friends as they retired into their homes. Heather took a slow walk up the hill to her home which was the highest tree in the village. Stars started to shine and the gentle winds blew across the grassy paths in the village. Her home was lit as her great-grandmother was preparing supper. She opened the door and received a warm welcome.
“Good evening, Heather.” Her great-grandmother said.
“Hi Grandma!”
“How are you tonight?”
“Great.” Heather replied. “I just won my first tournament!”
“Well that’s great.” The old woman said, “You are becoming just like your father.”
Heather smiled the best she could. The painful memory of her parents was a burden on her heart.
It was once again a simple meal for Heather and after dinner she helped cleaned up the dishes and wished her great-grandmother a good night. She then retired to her room which was in the highest point of the large tree. She walked out onto her balcony and looked over the endless landscape of the Orre region. It was a beautiful quiet night; she saw stars shining more brightly than ever. She then could see a bright light in the distance and she knew it was RealgamTower in one of their championship tournaments. She dreamed of competing in that tournament, it was her one goal as a trainer.
After a bit of daydreaming she opened her eyes to the sounds of some commotion below the PokémonCenter. Heather saw two shadowy figures walking into the secret cave. She wondered who would possibly be going into the scared forest at this time of night so she snuck out of the house and waked down to the lower parts of the village.
Heather carefully approached the entrance, however before she could go in she heard the hasty footsteps of the two strangers coming so she hid in a nearby bush. She could barely tell the looks of the two however they looked like they were in some sort of uniform. They wore a round helmet and their eyes were covered by the shaded visor of the helmet.
“Is the coast clear?” One of the persons asked.
“Yes, lets get out of here. I don’t want to get the same rude awakening these losers are going to get.”
Heather’s heart started to race. She didn’t know what they meant by their statement but it couldn’t be good. Once the two figures ran off into the dark desert, she left her hiding spot and raced into the cave. It took some time to wander through the passage but soon she emerged on the opposite side of the village where the RelicForest began. She decided to check the relic stone since it was the only manmade object in the forest.
Upon Heather’s arrival at the shrine, her heart skipped a beat when she saw a bomb tied onto the Relic Stone. A LED timer revealed it was only two minutes before it was to explode. She called out her Scyther from it’s poke ball as she raced to the stone.
“Scyther use slash to cut these ropes!”
“Scyther!” the Pokémon cried out as it quickly lashed through the ropes.
The bomb dropped into Heather’s arms and she started to race out of the forest. “Stay here Scyther! Don’t follow me!”
She touched the relic stone to get her footing and it that moment her mind was filled with an image she couldn’t tell what she saw except her mind was clouded with a dark aura. Soon she regained her composure and focused to the emergency on hand.
Heather raced through the secret cave as fast as she could. There was only about 20 seconds when the entrance was within her reach. She desperately continued to race for the nearby river and with only five seconds to spare, Heather tossed it into the water and she made for a dash back for the cave’s entrance.
When the timer clicked zero it exploded and a tower of water came shooting up into the sky. Heather fell to the ground from the shock of the blast. Soon lights to nearby houses started to light up as the residents of AgateVillage started to come out in curiosity of what happened. Heather was covered in water and mud that was a result of the explosion. Her Scyther came out of the cave and checked to see if its trainer was alright. Heather got up in slight pain and wiped the slime from her face.
“Heather!” cried out Andrea as she raced to her friend. “Are you alright?”
“Yes.” Heather said with a sigh of relief.
“What happened!?” cried out the village elder.
After a moment of explination, Heather led the elder and her friends into the forest and showed the rope which tied the bomb. Soon it wasn’t long before Heather started to receive praise from the other villagers for saving the relic stone.
“That shrine is all too important to protect.” The elder said. “You did a very good thing however I wouldn’t have wanted you to risk your life over it. It doesn’t matter now because what is done is done. You’re going to be quite the heroine around here now.”
“Thank you, Elder.” Heather replied.
“Now I suggest you get yourself a bath and a good night’s rest. I’ll make sure the Pyrite Town Police learn of this and we’ll watch over the shrine tonight.”
“Very well.”
Heather took off for home after saying good night to her friends. She then left her shoes outside and carefully made her way to the bathroom to clean up. She then spent most of the late-evening explaining to her great-grandmother what went on. After all of this she was wiped out and decided to go to bed. It wasn’t long before she fell into a quiet deep sleep.
Meanwhile the two shadowed figures watched the village from a cliff.
“What happened? I thought the river wasn’t supposed to explode.” One of the men said
“You idiot! Of course it wasn’t supposed to explode. Someone found the bomb and tossed it there before it exploded.” The other replied.
“Who did it?”
“I don’t know yet. So keep quiet and let me look.” The second figure continued to watch the crowd and noticed Heather who was covered in mud. “Her! It must be. She is a mess that only that bomb could have done.”
“Who? Let me see!”
“You dimwit! Back off! Dang it, the boss is going to kill us for this failure.”
Next time: Heather takes on the next challenge in her training career by challenging the Phenac City Stadium!
