Chapter One- Fateful Encounter
Arcana. A mountainous, wooded region far from Kanto, and even Sinnoh. A place filled with mysterious, ancient ruins that belonged to the mysterious Pokélanteans- also known as the Fore bearers- the original humans who built Alto Mare; the Snow Point Temple, the Ruins of Alph; and numerous, other locations. Arcana was said to be home land of all humans, for over a thousand years ago, the land held the mysterious race that throughout the centuries have been called the “the original mankind.” The beings were said to have unique powers and with their abilities, they had supposedly combined nature with science, creating what you would now call magic. They were the ones who first tamed Pokémon. Who first befriended them.
The first to use Pokémon as weapons of War.
Which lead to the Pokelanteans' extinction.
The Pokelanteans were indeed the most mysterious of all topics when it came to Pokémon-Human connections. Legends told of how they experienced a massive War, called the Eclipsed War, which lead to their downfall. The stories also told that a Dragon of Darkness was defeated by a Dragon of Light, and with their massive battle the War ended, but it did not only caused Arcana to befall into a Dark Age- but the whole World.
Though the dragons were sealed away due to fear of their great power. Both in cocoon like states, one with nine locks on its tomb and the other guarded by ash and brimstone.
Now Arcana was modernly famous for its extensive Pokémon League that many Trainers tried their best to even be allowed to try to participate in. A region where, Professor Cedar - local authority of Pokémon - gives out the rare starters of the mossy Pokémon Newture(Grass), the shaggy pup Pokémon Embpup(Fire) and the icy horn Pokémon Calfy(Water).
A place of fifteen official, recognized Cities and many unique locations.
A region full of exotic new Pokémon, never exposed to other humans, until a few thousand years ago when they first arrived to the mainland. Here, over 250 new Pokémon posses vast new attacks and abilities, ones that are rarely seen outside Arcana. This isolated world has barely been touched, as it exists near the frozen North, but also touches the hot, dry South.
A region where there are Mysteries, new and old, waited to be solved.
And soon with the start of two Twin siblings journey, shall darkness rise from the shadows. Sleeping legends to emerge from the sands of time; to awaken from long slumber.
~
Aaron Kingsly had played this battle over and over on his game boy, always analyzing, always looking for a new way to take down the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia with the real Challenger’s (Lucas's) Pokémon. The battle ground of the stadium glistened in artificial light. Cynthia stood her ground, black robe a flurry by passing gusts of wind, silvery blond hair shining in moonlight.
Lucas was a scrawny boy with deep blue eyes and black hair, he wore a blue jacket on top of tan jeans. Aaron always seemed weirded out by that, thinking, Who knew they made them? The young fourteen year old had managed to beat the Elite four and the Sinnoh Gym Leaders all the while taken down Cyrus and stopping Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. It has taken him a year and half, but Sinnoh was vast and hard to navigate it seemed.
Lucas had already used his aerial striker of a Staraptor, Pulldozer of a Ambomsnow, fastest thing on lad of a Rapidash (which faired with Cynthia's Lucario-even faster- but in the end, got whooped), and a Pachirusu. Lucas's Lucario stood against Cynthia's. Both Pokémon holding their blue paws near each other's to ready a Aura sphere by their masters commands. The Pokemon let loose their blazing, swirling masses of blue aura at each other. Smoke erupted on impact as Aaron and the crowd were in awe, wondering what the result was.
The smoke cleared, one Lucario was knocked out.
Another had held on.
Unfortunately the Lucario who was knocked out was Lucas's, meaning now it was down to his fulled evolved Starter. Lucas threw his last Poke ball after recalling his gift from a man on Iron Island. A tall, ebony colored Penguin with a small gold trident on his face stood ready.
Aaron was starring contemplatively, figuring out a move to counter Cynthia's trump card, Lucario, using the Empoleon. He knew the only way to take out the Champ's last Pokémon fast would be using Earthquake very fast or Drill Peck. Then what do you know, Lucas, uses a simple Hydro Pump, which does barely anything. Cynthia's Lucario was though on the real ropes now. The Lucario then used a feint against the Empoleon's Protect, the green Barrier guarding the Pokémon till the force field was breached by the quick-paced Lucario. Though ignorance is considered ,stupidly, bliss; Aaron thought cleverly.
“Come on Earthquake or Drill peck!” Aaron shouted at the 21-inch Black Television that he received from Christmas a few years ago. A white Wii stood next to the Television as the boy looked annoyed. He pushed back small of his copper blond hair. The tall black Penguin known as Empoleon soon was commanded a Earthquake, ending the battle finally as the blue dog known as Lucario, had delivered a powerful swirling blue Aura sphere at it. Aaron was what you would call a "total nerd" in a model's guise, as the boy was smart as well as good-looking. The boy lacked though confidence-unless it was sibling rivalry, which gave him a boost of confidence.
A girl's laughter pierced through Aaron's ranting. “You're such a nerd! Aaron can you ever take a vocation from being such a Dork?” The girl stood about five two tall as she leaned bent a little over in the doorway. Her statement was partially true. Aaron was a straight-A student, yet he still needed to take the Final Exam at the Pokémon School. “You need though to stop being so not confident on your tests. Mom will kill you if you aren't.” Selena, Aaron's younger twin sister said with a huge grin on her pale face, grayish blue eyes looking at Aaron with total mocking.
Aaron snapped back “So what! Remember Mom told us either of us can't leave Sea Breeze till I get my Trainer License." Aaron sighed and then puffed a little like a Qwilfish. "Sides at least I passed most of my tests on wit and did not have to rely on sheer luck like you. ” He lectured as the grin disappeared from Selena's face. She really wanted to leave Sea Breeze and explore the world, but couldn't due to the fact that she promised her mother she would allow Aaron to come and protect her. More like I'll protect him, the blond-haired teenager thought. She always had protected her brother, who had been sickly and frail when they were younger.
Till her brother passed the Exam, they could not leave. She did think his idea of taking an early exam would be good just in case either of them needed to do a retake. Aaron was right on that one, She thought bitterly with a small sneer. Aaron always out did her when it came to school, making him more noticed then her when it came to their scholarly family. She always was very sorta cruel to her brother, but only cause he need to be push in order to actually be more manly. Though that was what Aaron got for having a tomboy for a sister.
The world was waiting, and Selena Kingsly was stuck in Sea Breeze while people from all over got to come on luxury Trainer ships and got to set off into Arcana every year.
Selena bit on her lip tell she spoke again, in her usual soft, sweet voice, “Well why did you fail the Final Exam? Your suppose to be the Smart one while I'm the pretty yet-tough one.” She said smiling at him as Aaron rolled his deep blue eyes.
“I failed because I suck at really, really, really, really realllllly important Tests- you know that.” he said grabbing his Advanced Battle Class guide, preparing for tomorrow's simulated battle as his Twin left to go to Bed. He knew he had also time while helping his Grandmother prepare to send 240 Specimen to Kanto to be observed by professor Oak.
Oak and his Grandma, Agnes Cedar, were close friends and had been since they were teenagers competing at the legendary Dragon Cup in The Dragon's Paw, the only real time foreign Pokémon were allowed into Arcana. The Dragon Cup was legendary in Arcana, it takes place in The Dragon's Paw, a collection of isles that look like a dragon's paw. Legends tell that a Dragon pushed his fiery paw into the sea, grabbed underwater mountains, and pulled them up to form the Archipelago. In honor of the Dragon, the Arcanians hosted a tournament where Trainers could only use Dragon like Pokemon- the reason why foreign Pokemon were allowed.
Now the time of allowing Arcana's unique Pokémon to leave the Region without a true Trainer owning them was approaching.
The teen boy started to read- by read skim and drink in key points- the book, remembering his last Sim Battle that counted as his Exam. To him, it was a fluke cause it was easy to forget Charizards could learn the ultimate Rock-type bane, Solarbeam. So close even without it as he pitted his well balanced Charizard(Which the Trainer could pick the moves for before the Sim Battle) against a Tyrantiar. The giant, orange, winged lizard put up a great fight against the giant Green Dinosaur.
Sim battles were cybernetic, simulated battles that were first invented by professor Krane of the Orre region. They were now used in Arcadia for the P.R.I's Pokémon's school's final exams and had been for the last seven years. They were tough hence why the Advanced Battle teachers had allowed students to have taken it early.
Selena came back in a while later with her sketchpad-she being a talented artist- as Aaron put down his book and reading glasses and looked at her, “What sis?”
Selena stood in her pink PJ bottoms and white tank top, flipping through her Sketchpad to a page. The page showed a landscape; sandy cliffs that held a flat plateau at the bottom of them, forming a canyon. The sand plain held a giant Pyramid with broken-down structures that a thousand years ago were statues. The picture was very detailed, down to the last pillar that supported the Pyramid at its base and ancient statue.
Aaron looked at it and vaguely remembered something, “What...what is that?”
“I don't know, I think a place in the desert north of us; When I drew it, it was like I was in a deep trance or something. I thought maybe you've seen it before somewhere.”
Aaron bit his lip and thought for a moment; soon he mustered a sentence after he had fell into a similar trance while looking at the curves and lines, remembering things without realizing it. “I...I don't know; you should ask Grandma tomorrow.” The boy then turned back to his book, his head now pounding with a intense migraine.
Though what could he do now but put away his book- as well as his problems-, close his eyes, and fall into dreamless sleep. The day of his Fifteenth birthday, a day of bizarre Events, a simple Night away.
~
A Screaming, middle-aged women broke the the newly fifteen year olds sleep. Aaron groggily woke up and yelled to his Mother, Nurse Catherina Kingsly, that he was up and to stop yelling like a Hexshee. To him it was a simple Spring Day, despite he was a year older and his final exam retake was today.
Aaron went a quick warm shower and got dressed in a Sleeveless amber red jacket over a nice button white shirt, black wrangler jeans, his prized Nyx, brown and black Nikes. Slowly, he tried putting in his contacts gently only to accidentally poke himself in the eye. Sighing after his loud yelp of pain and a few shits! the young Trainer-to-be spiked his blond hair. The fully dressed and prepared boy went down the Steps, leaving his white wall papered room covered with Trainer posters behind for now.
Catherina Kingsly sat at the Hazel coffee table, a present on it with her hand writing on the card. The red headed Nurse turned her head toward her son and smiled, looking him over, “My, your already taller then me and close to getting taller then your uncle Dimitri.” She said handing him the white and gold polka doted wrapped present to her oldest. “Happy 15th Birthday sweetie.” Uncle Dimitri was his Mother's brother who worked at Hi Tech inc. His company were the ones who created many new kinds of Poke balls and with the Pokepod, their latest invention, which his uncle of course got her a deal on. One notable thing about Catherina that she loved sales and low prices.
Aaron quickly read the card's elegant message, “To my Light Bringer, a gift to help on your coming journey.” A small smile appeared on the boy's face as he opened the birthday present, revealing a box containing the most newest of Pokegear from the famous Hi Tech inc., a Crimson on Black Poképod.
He opened the box quickly, admiring the Pokepod, gently touching he plastic and metal hybrid that looked like a Pokémon Ranger's Fine Styler but was even more advance and did not have a Styler Dock(the thing at the end). The Teen picked up the Pokémon Battle Assistant, turning it on as it homepage looked like a Iphone page. The first row of apps was a Party app for what Pokémon you have on hand; a Radio app for local broadcasts, a Notes app for well memos and a Web Browser app to surf the Web. The second filled with a Music app(Why a Music app? Aaron wondered); Weather app for local forecast; a Camera for taking pictures and Settings app. The bottom row consisted of the basic Arcana region Map, Email, Phone and Trainer Card App. He eagerly placed the device on his forearm and set in place. “This is wonderful, thanks mom.” He said to his mother who was smiling, successful at choosing his gift.
Catherina looked at the ridiculous, gray Glameow novelty clock she had and gasped, “Your late for meeting for your grandmother. It's already 9:05 and you were suppose to be there at nine sharp young man. Your sister is already there, looking at what Pokémon Starter she's going to choose, she changed her mind to Newture again so she can have it evolve into a Dragem to dig up diamonds. ”She said sighing, while the Teen had a strawberry pop tart half-shoved into his mouth.
The teen attempted to talk, mouth full of chewed up pop tart, “Crap, and she'll change her mind probably again before I get there. ” the boy said as he look to see it raining. The boy then said goodbye to his mother and went out the oak wood door into the pouring rain, of course with a orange umbrella.
Sea Breeze Town looked dreary in the rain, when in contrast to looking sunny and active when its a cloudless day. His house was across the way from the huge Pokémon Research Institute, a building that stood giant in a town of small one and two story houses. The wooden Davy Jones Sailor Club and Grand beach's port were second and third in importance. The brown, brick building did though stick out like a sore thumb- like usual.
Living in the town mostly full of imbeciles caused Aaron to be somewhat stuck up to the town's occupants to a certain degree. Who could blame him? A major flaw of his was stupid and or immature people- that and he sometimes was absurdly shy with cute girls who actually liked him, which was hard cause most of the girls in the small, hickish town, liked the Neanderthals that his peers. One's who think it was finally to put fire crackers in Mailboxes of their friends just to see them wet themselves.
He did enjoy the company of older people, but he did despised the human race itself to some degree, due to the fact that they treated Pokémon badly- as well as their own kind, like the dreadful Team Organizations of Plasma, Cipher or Rocket. He despised deviants like these to a high degree, why you would ask? Because of the fate of one Chief Investigator Darell Goldstein, the Head Chief of Police in Arcana, known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau acted as the collected body of all Police Forces in Arcana. It had been lead by one of the best, most observant, Chief Investigator they ever had.
Who also was Aaron's, as well as Selena's beloved father.
Aaron lost his father right after he had returned with his mother and sister after spending time in Nippon. The nearly year long trip which his father wished he could have gone on but could not due to dealing with criminal activity in their homeland. The family had returned to be reunited once more before Darrel was killed by a Spanish mobster working a illegal black market right there in Arcana. The girls were devastated, but Aaron had took it the worst. Aaron that day lost most of his faith in humanity; closing the door to his heart to his own kind, becoming cold and calculating. He spent most of his time watching, caring and observing Pokémon; avoiding real human contact as much as he could, minus of course his family was a major goal- and flaw- in his life.
Pokémon were very special to Aaron cause he always could know what they were saying, a gift that only a few others had in this world currently. He trusted them more then he did most humans, minus his mother and grandmother. There was a girl from his childhood that could count, but that had been a long while ago. He though, over all, would trust a Pokémon he just met over a Human. The boy looked at the time and knew he should start walking faster if he wanted to get a Pokémon and get of Hickville.
The Teen speed walked to the building as he heard a small cry come from the fountain. He looked to see a bright yellow and blue small puff of hair getting soaked in the rain. The creature looked to the boy with big, abnormal blue eyes, letting out a “Bol-ster?”
“Help? I'm freezing my furry butt off.” ranged out the Electric Hamster, Aaron understanding due to a strange ability to understand Pokémon Speech- which only a few other people in the whole world posed.
“Um, yeah sure, come under my umbrella, and you'll be fine.” The Teen said crouching down as the Hamster came to him, only to accidentally giving him a bolt of electricity. The Teen shook it off as he picked the small hamster up. “Wow, I guess your from Mirage Forest, how did you end up here?” He said, knowing the diverse home of low leveled Pokémon.
The hamster spoke, trying to control is chattering teeth, “An awful Man with a dark blue O on his shirt was using two, weird Pokémon against my pack. I escaped the weirdo and manage to get far.” The Bolster squeaked. Aaron looked grim and icy as it sounded like a organized crime group like those from nearby Nippon.
“Oh, well I'll take you to see my Grandma, when were there explain to us what all happened and she'll know what to do.” He said taking the Pokémon and running to his Grandmother's house awkwardly all the while holding the umbrella. Grandma is someone I can trust to make sure that jack *** gets his just desserts, Aaron though coldly; cold as the pouring rain that came during early August for Sea Breeze town.
~
“Black Auras, that's seems familiar,” Agnes Cedar said after hearing the Bolster's tale, leaning back in her black leather desk chair, wrinkled hand on her equally wrinkled chin. The professor and her grandson Aaron were in her Office, a huge room full of books on of course Pokémon. Soon all the red drained from her face as Aaron dried off the poor Bolster and himself. “Oh dear, could it be?” The Professor said soon tapping some keys of the built in computer of her desk as she went to a seven year old article from Orre and a five year old article from Almia. “Aaron, have you ever heard of Shadow Pokémon.” The old lady asked, looking at her eldest grandchild with Hunter Green eyes, fading red hair almost covering one of them.
Aaron remembered them and that the Sandy Hills Museum had a upcoming Exhibit about them with information on the people who helped liberate them. “Yes, there are ways to make them like a Dark Shard or also whats known as a Dim Stone. Those close off their hearts, right?”
The Professor smiled at her brilliant prodigy of a grandson, “Yes, destroying a Gigaremo machine or using a Bright Stone, like the huge one in Agate Forest, break the hold the Shadows have over them. ” He remembered the events somewhat clearly due to his great memory.
“Cipher and Dim Sun right?” Stating the Organizations that used them with a face of disgust like he was about to vomit all over his grandmother's nice, neatly carved office desk.
“Right, I'm going to call Professor Oak, Krane and Hastings, their all leading experts, I'm also going to try to contact the first hand people who dealt with the Shadow Pokémon. ” She then looked at the Bolster and smiled, “First, lets talk about your friend, it seems to like you so here.” She said handing him a shrinked, Yellow topped Poke ball. “Its a Starter ball special for Bolster, this way you know which ball she's in.” The Professor said she with emphasize.
The teen took the shrinked ball out of her hand as he looked to her, confused, “It's a girl Bolster?” He asked looking toward the Pokémon with confusion on his face.
The Professor chuckled, “Yes Aaron, did you forget that male Bolster are usually a foot and four inches tall and she's several inches smaller?” She asked innocently.
“Yeah though I got spunk!” The Bolster squeaked out as the Pre-Trainer was reminded of his sister, he smiling a vague smile. He Enlarged the Ball and then gently tossed it at the Bolster, who turned red once the ball hit and got sucked in. Soon the ball hit the wood floor with a plunk and wobbled once.
Twice.
Then with the successful third time a ping rang out as Aaron went and collected the Pokéball, smiling. He then shrinked the Pokéball, letting it sit on the built in scanner of the Poképod registering the Pokémon.
“Your first Pokémon, and without even using a official Starter.” The Professor said putting down the articles and projected on a nearby monitor three Videophone windows, each with a different man on the screen. The first was a sturdy man with fading gray hair and deep brown eyes- Professor Oak no less. The second was Professor Krane a man with squint eyes and spiky dark brown hair that looked in his late thirties. The Third, Professor Hastings, with slick back gray hair and hazel eyes.
“Colleagues, we have a copy cat of Team Cipher or now a newly resurected Order of Oblivion.” The Arcana Professor spoke, her fellow Professors gasping in disbelief.
“Oh dear, who told you a Shadow Pokemon appeared?” The youngest of them all said, meaning a Shadow Pokémon.
“A Pokémon, my grandson is a Whisperer and can understand their speech, a Bolster told him one was in Mirage Forest, with somebody with a O on their Shirt. I've heard of them but could it be?” She then went into a trance. Soon knowing who or what the man was probably from.
“Of who Grandma?” Aaron asked his Grandmother.
In a mere whisper, Agnes answered him accidentally, “The Order of Oblivion.” She said, reminiscing about something from long ago, but Agnes did look she was way older then she looked. The Order of Oblivion were said to be the ones who first created Shadow Pokemon for the Eclisped War thousands of years ago. The Forebearers-the Arcania name for Pokelanteans- fell though in the wake of the war between the Shiners(Normal Pokémon lead by the Order of Light) and the Shadows(Shadow Pokemon lead by the Order of Oblivion). “Old folktales tell that these people are using to put fear into the believers of Arcana's origins.”
Hastings was typing away as if to send emails, “We may not know for a while, if you have anymore detail, please contact me again Aggie, I have to go report this to Top Rangers. Solana, Lunick, Holly and Jackson will be going to all old Dim Sun workings and find out any information they can.” Hastings spoke as his screen disappeared.
“Grandma?” Aaron said, putting a hand on his Grandmother's shoulder, the Bolster in his other arm. The youth only cared for a few humans in the world, as his grandma was one of them.
“Oh, yes,” Agnes said, her trance broken glancing at the Kanto professor, “Sam, did you ever send those specimen?”
“I did; did you never get them my dear?” The lead professor asked as soon Agnes looked scared.
Agnes grabbed her wits and slowly replied, “We never did, oh dear I think the S.S. Cobalt got Ship-jacked. I heard news of a Ship getting hijacked a month ago, I never knew it could be the Cobalt. Stupid Cipher wannabes. Nearly Six hundred Pokémon gone, taken by this mysterious group.” She slumped into her office chair, rubbing her temple with her fingers gingerly.
Krane spoke up after texting someone on his phone, “I'll send Michael though Wes is a colleague of mine and I believe he is with the Snag Machines and the Blueprints of the Purifying Chamber that are being held in Sandy Hills' Museum. I'll email you his number so you can contact him in Sandy Hills. Krane out.” The young professor said as the screen clicked off.
“I'm going to investigate a little, good-bye Aggie, I'll call if anything comes up.” Leaving the professor and her grandson alone.
Though soon a explosion the deathly silence as Professor Cedar's eyes widened. Both her and and her Grandchild went down to see what the commotion was, though what they would soon fine would be something they wished they had never encountered.
~
Being a lonely Team Oblivion Peon sucked, literally. For now Team Oblivion Peon 237(originally Gerald) was simply using a modified vacuum to suck out the last of the basic Pokémon of Arcana, including the Starters they had especially breed and their evolutions. He hated his current job and wanted his boss, Commander Darren, to promote him as soon as possible, especially after being one of the the people that hi jacked the S.S. Cobalt and helped hid the ship in the bay of Cloudburst City.
After a month the two Shadow Pokémon Factories were in full swing, the northern one based on Research and Development as the southern one was more focused on Brute force. Peon 237 was issued his Shadow Pokemon and before his latest mission he stopped in the Mirage Forest. The forest served as a great place to try out the Shadow Pokémon; the grunt used his new play toys on a pack of Bolster and their evolutions, Zapbits, inside the creepy forest. That little target practice showed me I picked the winning side, the Peon though deviantly.
The lonely peon though had accidentally left one starter ball fall to the ground as he left the room, other Poke balls in vacuum in all. Hey, no one ever said he had to care about this sucky job, and he could just lie like a sailor. Though when he accidentally kicked the ball into the hallway where it would be noticed was his probable downfall.
Unfortunately for the Pokémon thief he ran smack into the Professor and her grandson, which was way bad for he thought that all the facility's employees left to go look at the diversion of an explosion he rigged in the back yard. Greek fire was very useful on a very rainy day.
The elegant and old lady in the lab coat screamed like a very ****** off Mismaguis, “What the hell are you doing!” The old woman crossed her arms, anger at the thief and angry at herself she didn't have her Pokémon to teach the loser a lesson. Aaron looked at the grunt with a dark smirk.
“I'm here to steal these Pokémon so we can finally build up a full Shadow Pokémon army and hey! You almost mad me spilled the beans!” Said the Peon as he stood in his dark clothing with a huge dark blue “O” for Team Dusk on his shirt. He soon took out his Shadow Pokémon Poke balls and let the Shadow Abra- a Pokémon that looked like a squinted-eyeed mouse and Machop- a gray, biped Dinosaur with red eyes- loose, the Professor and the punk kid probably not knowing what they were.
Unfortunately again for the grunt, the “punk kid” could see Pokémon auras, and saw the obsidian-colored auras which stuck out due to their demonic presence. He did had Bolster who healed but needed a second Pokémon. Though Aaron's problem was solved when he saw that lone Poke ball in on the ground the Peon dropped.
He went and grabbed the ball, holding the cold metallic sphere; with Bolster at his side, he let out a wolf pup with glowing red fur and embers sparking off it occasionally. The Embpup looked up at his supposed new master with blue eyes and then barked out, “What the heck are they?”
“Shadow Pokémon, and were taking them down.” The teen said ready to fight, his grandmother stepping aside to let her Grandson take care of the thug. He was happy he got a Embpup- which was what he considered, but getting a rare Bolster was just an added bonus.
He was good with hiding his nerves, for now he was as nervous as they came despite the rage that was building up in him. The teen focused, using fake confidence and his channeled rage to intimidate the grunt who barely even looked older then Aaron.
The Peon with his goofy white hair grinned, “Okay punk lets go! Abra, Shadow Wave, Machop, Shadow Blitz that puny Bolster.”
“PUNY!” The Bolster roared as soon her eyes looked like thunderstorm clouds. The Abra glowed with dark energy and let it out in a wave at the two normal Pokémon, both who dodged barely and got some damage. Machop turned dark and sparked as he rushed Bolster, who dodged very fast. The teen used the Party app of his Poképod and soon looked to see what his Pokémon had at her disposal. Wow Bullet punch, Thunderpunch, Growl and Thunder shock, this little guy, er gal, was breed well, the boy thought. He knew that Embpup had simple Bite and Growl so he knew he was at a slight disadvantage. The good news though was that the Abra and Machop were level fives- meaning on the same field with the Embpup and Bolster. No real threats minus the Shadow moves; some scary stuff, Aaron thought nervously.
The boy then thought for a sec then yelled out commands to counter, “Okay Pukka(subconsciously named the Bolster) use Thunder punch on Machop, Embpup Bite on Abra.” The Pokémon obeyed, rushing the Shadow Pokémon. Pukka smirked at her name but accepted it as she had her right paw spark with electricity sending the Machop into the Stone wall, knocking it out and leveling up soon afterwards.
The Embpup hesitated, nervous in his first big battle as he soon bit down into the tan psychic Pokémon, the Psi Pokémon yelling out as it shadow pulsed the Biter with a Shadow wave knocking the Embpup off..
“Alright, Pukka help Embpup out with a Bullet punch!” The Teen commanded as the Hamster's right paw turned metallic and hit the Psi Pokémon hard, knocking it out after a second Punch. The thief cursed returning the Pokémon to their Poke balls as he soon fled, leaving the Pokémon behind and the stolen ones.
“That will teach you ya lousy thief!” Aaron said the thief running away like a little girl, one who was scared off by a simple battle.
“That can count as your make up exam.” Aaron's grandmother said, going over to check on the Poke balls and the Pokémon inside, turning around to face her grandson “I'm gonna send you on an errand, one that's going to have you need this.” She said taking out a slim red-and black Pokédex Version 6. “I'll need to give you the national Dex though so you know what your dealing with. Though I think your right to receive the two other Starters Oak was going to receive since no Pokémon from Arcana are leaving till Oblivion is taken down. I need you to go and get Krane's Snag Machine, let Wes look at it and fix it up. You need to catch as many shadow Pokemon as you can and prevent Oblivion from all costs get anything that can aid them for destroying the world.”
The teen though just though of one thing- of course the Oblivion thing was important and all, but- “What about Lena, won't she be mad?” Aaron nervously asked his Grandmother. Selena Kingsly's tantrums were legendary in the small town. The people of Sea Breeze town said her roars were like a enraged Diagla's roar of time.
The old woman smiled, “Selena is youthfully feisty, but don't worry, I'll give her one of the Adapmutt meant for you two.” Aaron had heard they were very awesome Pokémon, they adapted to their surroundings, taken the Type of the local Pokémon with its ability Localize. “Though come on, lets prepare you for the rough road ahead.” The professor said as the teenager returned his new Pokémon to their Pokéballs, the pair soon walking to the laboratory of huge mansion.
Though his journey had started with a very fateful encounter with a special Bolster and a mysterious peon.

Chapter One- Fateful Encounter
Arcana. A mountainous, wooded region far from Kanto, and even Sinnoh. A place filled with mysterious, ancient ruins that belonged to the mysterious Pokélanteans- also known as the Fore bearers- the original humans who built Alto Mare; the Snow Point Temple, the Ruins of Alph; and numerous, other locations. Arcana was said to be home land of all humans, for over a thousand years ago, the land held the mysterious race that throughout the centuries have been called the “the original mankind.” The beings were said to have unique powers and with their abilities, they had supposedly combined nature with science, creating what you would now call magic. They were the ones who first tamed Pokémon. Who first befriended them.
The first to use Pokémon as weapons of War.
Which lead to the Pokelanteans' extinction.
The Pokelanteans were indeed the most mysterious of all topics when it came to Pokémon-Human connections. Legends told of how they experienced a massive War, called the Eclipsed War, which lead to their downfall. The stories also told that a Dragon of Darkness was defeated by a Dragon of Light, and with their massive battle the War ended, but it did not only caused Arcana to befall into a Dark Age- but the whole World.
Though the dragons were sealed away due to fear of their great power. Both in cocoon like states, one with nine locks on its tomb and the other guarded by ash and brimstone.
Now Arcana was modernly famous for its extensive Pokémon League that many Trainers tried their best to even be allowed to try to participate in. A region where, Professor Cedar - local authority of Pokémon - gives out the rare starters of the mossy Pokémon Newture(Grass), the shaggy pup Pokémon Embpup(Fire) and the icy horn Pokémon Calfy(Water).
A place of fifteen official, recognized Cities and many unique locations.
A region full of exotic new Pokémon, never exposed to other humans, until a few thousand years ago when they first arrived to the mainland. Here, over 250 new Pokémon posses vast new attacks and abilities, ones that are rarely seen outside Arcana. This isolated world has barely been touched, as it exists near the frozen North, but also touches the hot, dry South.
A region where there are Mysteries, new and old, waited to be solved.
And soon with the start of two Twin siblings journey, shall darkness rise from the shadows. Sleeping legends to emerge from the sands of time; to awaken from long slumber.
~
Aaron Kingsly had played this battle over and over on his game boy, always analyzing, always looking for a new way to take down the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia with the real Challenger’s (Lucas's) Pokémon. The battle ground of the stadium glistened in artificial light. Cynthia stood her ground, black robe a flurry by passing gusts of wind, silvery blond hair shining in moonlight.
Lucas was a scrawny boy with deep blue eyes and black hair, he wore a blue jacket on top of tan jeans. Aaron always seemed weirded out by that, thinking, Who knew they made them? The young fourteen year old had managed to beat the Elite four and the Sinnoh Gym Leaders all the while taken down Cyrus and stopping Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. It has taken him a year and half, but Sinnoh was vast and hard to navigate it seemed.
Lucas had already used his aerial striker of a Staraptor, Pulldozer of a Ambomsnow, fastest thing on lad of a Rapidash (which faired with Cynthia's Lucario-even faster- but in the end, got whooped), and a Pachirusu. Lucas's Lucario stood against Cynthia's. Both Pokémon holding their blue paws near each other's to ready a Aura sphere by their masters commands. The Pokemon let loose their blazing, swirling masses of blue aura at each other. Smoke erupted on impact as Aaron and the crowd were in awe, wondering what the result was.
The smoke cleared, one Lucario was knocked out.
Another had held on.
Unfortunately the Lucario who was knocked out was Lucas's, meaning now it was down to his fulled evolved Starter. Lucas threw his last Poke ball after recalling his gift from a man on Iron Island. A tall, ebony colored Penguin with a small gold trident on his face stood ready.
Aaron was starring contemplatively, figuring out a move to counter Cynthia's trump card, Lucario, using the Empoleon. He knew the only way to take out the Champ's last Pokémon fast would be using Earthquake very fast or Drill Peck. Then what do you know, Lucas, uses a simple Hydro Pump, which does barely anything. Cynthia's Lucario was though on the real ropes now. The Lucario then used a feint against the Empoleon's Protect, the green Barrier guarding the Pokémon till the force field was breached by the quick-paced Lucario. Though ignorance is considered ,stupidly, bliss; Aaron thought cleverly.
“Come on Earthquake or Drill peck!” Aaron shouted at the 21-inch Black Television that he received from Christmas a few years ago. A white Wii stood next to the Television as the boy looked annoyed. He pushed back small of his copper blond hair. The tall black Penguin known as Empoleon soon was commanded a Earthquake, ending the battle finally as the blue dog known as Lucario, had delivered a powerful swirling blue Aura sphere at it. Aaron was what you would call a "total nerd" in a model's guise, as the boy was smart as well as good-looking. The boy lacked though confidence-unless it was sibling rivalry, which gave him a boost of confidence.
A girl's laughter pierced through Aaron's ranting. “You're such a nerd! Aaron can you ever take a vocation from being such a Dork?” The girl stood about five two tall as she leaned bent a little over in the doorway. Her statement was partially true. Aaron was a straight-A student, yet he still needed to take the Final Exam at the Pokémon School. “You need though to stop being so not confident on your tests. Mom will kill you if you aren't.” Selena, Aaron's younger twin sister said with a huge grin on her pale face, grayish blue eyes looking at Aaron with total mocking.
Aaron snapped back “So what! Remember Mom told us either of us can't leave Sea Breeze till I get my Trainer License." Aaron sighed and then puffed a little like a Qwilfish. "Sides at least I passed most of my tests on wit and did not have to rely on sheer luck like you. ” He lectured as the grin disappeared from Selena's face. She really wanted to leave Sea Breeze and explore the world, but couldn't due to the fact that she promised her mother she would allow Aaron to come and protect her. More like I'll protect him, the blond-haired teenager thought. She always had protected her brother, who had been sickly and frail when they were younger.
Till her brother passed the Exam, they could not leave. She did think his idea of taking an early exam would be good just in case either of them needed to do a retake. Aaron was right on that one, She thought bitterly with a small sneer. Aaron always out did her when it came to school, making him more noticed then her when it came to their scholarly family. She always was very sorta cruel to her brother, but only cause he need to be push in order to actually be more manly. Though that was what Aaron got for having a tomboy for a sister.
The world was waiting, and Selena Kingsly was stuck in Sea Breeze while people from all over got to come on luxury Trainer ships and got to set off into Arcana every year.
Selena bit on her lip tell she spoke again, in her usual soft, sweet voice, “Well why did you fail the Final Exam? Your suppose to be the Smart one while I'm the pretty yet-tough one.” She said smiling at him as Aaron rolled his deep blue eyes.
“I failed because I suck at really, really, really, really realllllly important Tests- you know that.” he said grabbing his Advanced Battle Class guide, preparing for tomorrow's simulated battle as his Twin left to go to Bed. He knew he had also time while helping his Grandmother prepare to send 240 Specimen to Kanto to be observed by professor Oak.
Oak and his Grandma, Agnes Cedar, were close friends and had been since they were teenagers competing at the legendary Dragon Cup in The Dragon's Paw, the only real time foreign Pokémon were allowed into Arcana. The Dragon Cup was legendary in Arcana, it takes place in The Dragon's Paw, a collection of isles that look like a dragon's paw. Legends tell that a Dragon pushed his fiery paw into the sea, grabbed underwater mountains, and pulled them up to form the Archipelago. In honor of the Dragon, the Arcanians hosted a tournament where Trainers could only use Dragon like Pokemon- the reason why foreign Pokemon were allowed.
Now the time of allowing Arcana's unique Pokémon to leave the Region without a true Trainer owning them was approaching.
The teen boy started to read- by read skim and drink in key points- the book, remembering his last Sim Battle that counted as his Exam. To him, it was a fluke cause it was easy to forget Charizards could learn the ultimate Rock-type bane, Solarbeam. So close even without it as he pitted his well balanced Charizard(Which the Trainer could pick the moves for before the Sim Battle) against a Tyrantiar. The giant, orange, winged lizard put up a great fight against the giant Green Dinosaur.
Sim battles were cybernetic, simulated battles that were first invented by professor Krane of the Orre region. They were now used in Arcadia for the P.R.I's Pokémon's school's final exams and had been for the last seven years. They were tough hence why the Advanced Battle teachers had allowed students to have taken it early.
Selena came back in a while later with her sketchpad-she being a talented artist- as Aaron put down his book and reading glasses and looked at her, “What sis?”
Selena stood in her pink PJ bottoms and white tank top, flipping through her Sketchpad to a page. The page showed a landscape; sandy cliffs that held a flat plateau at the bottom of them, forming a canyon. The sand plain held a giant Pyramid with broken-down structures that a thousand years ago were statues. The picture was very detailed, down to the last pillar that supported the Pyramid at its base and ancient statue.
Aaron looked at it and vaguely remembered something, “What...what is that?”
“I don't know, I think a place in the desert north of us; When I drew it, it was like I was in a deep trance or something. I thought maybe you've seen it before somewhere.”
Aaron bit his lip and thought for a moment; soon he mustered a sentence after he had fell into a similar trance while looking at the curves and lines, remembering things without realizing it. “I...I don't know; you should ask Grandma tomorrow.” The boy then turned back to his book, his head now pounding with a intense migraine.
Though what could he do now but put away his book- as well as his problems-, close his eyes, and fall into dreamless sleep. The day of his Fifteenth birthday, a day of bizarre Events, a simple Night away.
~
A Screaming, middle-aged women broke the the newly fifteen year olds sleep. Aaron groggily woke up and yelled to his Mother, Nurse Catherina Kingsly, that he was up and to stop yelling like a Hexshee. To him it was a simple Spring Day, despite he was a year older and his final exam retake was today.
Aaron went a quick warm shower and got dressed in a Sleeveless amber red jacket over a nice button white shirt, black wrangler jeans, his prized Nyx, brown and black Nikes. Slowly, he tried putting in his contacts gently only to accidentally poke himself in the eye. Sighing after his loud yelp of pain and a few shits! the young Trainer-to-be spiked his blond hair. The fully dressed and prepared boy went down the Steps, leaving his white wall papered room covered with Trainer posters behind for now.
Catherina Kingsly sat at the Hazel coffee table, a present on it with her hand writing on the card. The red headed Nurse turned her head toward her son and smiled, looking him over, “My, your already taller then me and close to getting taller then your uncle Dimitri.” She said handing him the white and gold polka doted wrapped present to her oldest. “Happy 15th Birthday sweetie.” Uncle Dimitri was his Mother's brother who worked at Hi Tech inc. His company were the ones who created many new kinds of Poke balls and with the Pokepod, their latest invention, which his uncle of course got her a deal on. One notable thing about Catherina that she loved sales and low prices.
Aaron quickly read the card's elegant message, “To my Light Bringer, a gift to help on your coming journey.” A small smile appeared on the boy's face as he opened the birthday present, revealing a box containing the most newest of Pokegear from the famous Hi Tech inc., a Crimson on Black Poképod.
He opened the box quickly, admiring the Pokepod, gently touching he plastic and metal hybrid that looked like a Pokémon Ranger's Fine Styler but was even more advance and did not have a Styler Dock(the thing at the end). The Teen picked up the Pokémon Battle Assistant, turning it on as it homepage looked like a Iphone page. The first row of apps was a Party app for what Pokémon you have on hand; a Radio app for local broadcasts, a Notes app for well memos and a Web Browser app to surf the Web. The second filled with a Music app(Why a Music app? Aaron wondered); Weather app for local forecast; a Camera for taking pictures and Settings app. The bottom row consisted of the basic Arcana region Map, Email, Phone and Trainer Card App. He eagerly placed the device on his forearm and set in place. “This is wonderful, thanks mom.” He said to his mother who was smiling, successful at choosing his gift.
Catherina looked at the ridiculous, gray Glameow novelty clock she had and gasped, “Your late for meeting for your grandmother. It's already 9:05 and you were suppose to be there at nine sharp young man. Your sister is already there, looking at what Pokémon Starter she's going to choose, she changed her mind to Newture again so she can have it evolve into a Dragem to dig up diamonds. ”She said sighing, while the Teen had a strawberry pop tart half-shoved into his mouth.
The teen attempted to talk, mouth full of chewed up pop tart, “Crap, and she'll change her mind probably again before I get there. ” the boy said as he look to see it raining. The boy then said goodbye to his mother and went out the oak wood door into the pouring rain, of course with a orange umbrella.
Sea Breeze Town looked dreary in the rain, when in contrast to looking sunny and active when its a cloudless day. His house was across the way from the huge Pokémon Research Institute, a building that stood giant in a town of small one and two story houses. The wooden Davy Jones Sailor Club and Grand beach's port were second and third in importance. The brown, brick building did though stick out like a sore thumb- like usual.
Living in the town mostly full of imbeciles caused Aaron to be somewhat stuck up to the town's occupants to a certain degree. Who could blame him? A major flaw of his was stupid and or immature people- that and he sometimes was absurdly shy with cute girls who actually liked him, which was hard cause most of the girls in the small, hickish town, liked the Neanderthals that his peers. One's who think it was finally to put fire crackers in Mailboxes of their friends just to see them wet themselves.
He did enjoy the company of older people, but he did despised the human race itself to some degree, due to the fact that they treated Pokémon badly- as well as their own kind, like the dreadful Team Organizations of Plasma, Cipher or Rocket. He despised deviants like these to a high degree, why you would ask? Because of the fate of one Chief Investigator Darell Goldstein, the Head Chief of Police in Arcana, known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau acted as the collected body of all Police Forces in Arcana. It had been lead by one of the best, most observant, Chief Investigator they ever had.
Who also was Aaron's, as well as Selena's beloved father.
Aaron lost his father right after he had returned with his mother and sister after spending time in Nippon. The nearly year long trip which his father wished he could have gone on but could not due to dealing with criminal activity in their homeland. The family had returned to be reunited once more before Darrel was killed by a Spanish mobster working a illegal black market right there in Arcana. The girls were devastated, but Aaron had took it the worst. Aaron that day lost most of his faith in humanity; closing the door to his heart to his own kind, becoming cold and calculating. He spent most of his time watching, caring and observing Pokémon; avoiding real human contact as much as he could, minus of course his family was a major goal- and flaw- in his life.
Pokémon were very special to Aaron cause he always could know what they were saying, a gift that only a few others had in this world currently. He trusted them more then he did most humans, minus his mother and grandmother. There was a girl from his childhood that could count, but that had been a long while ago. He though, over all, would trust a Pokémon he just met over a Human. The boy looked at the time and knew he should start walking faster if he wanted to get a Pokémon and get of Hickville.
The Teen speed walked to the building as he heard a small cry come from the fountain. He looked to see a bright yellow and blue small puff of hair getting soaked in the rain. The creature looked to the boy with big, abnormal blue eyes, letting out a “Bol-ster?”
“Help? I'm freezing my furry butt off.” ranged out the Electric Hamster, Aaron understanding due to a strange ability to understand Pokémon Speech- which only a few other people in the whole world posed.
“Um, yeah sure, come under my umbrella, and you'll be fine.” The Teen said crouching down as the Hamster came to him, only to accidentally giving him a bolt of electricity. The Teen shook it off as he picked the small hamster up. “Wow, I guess your from Mirage Forest, how did you end up here?” He said, knowing the diverse home of low leveled Pokémon.
The hamster spoke, trying to control is chattering teeth, “An awful Man with a dark blue O on his shirt was using two, weird Pokémon against my pack. I escaped the weirdo and manage to get far.” The Bolster squeaked. Aaron looked grim and icy as it sounded like a organized crime group like those from nearby Nippon.
“Oh, well I'll take you to see my Grandma, when were there explain to us what all happened and she'll know what to do.” He said taking the Pokémon and running to his Grandmother's house awkwardly all the while holding the umbrella. Grandma is someone I can trust to make sure that jack *** gets his just desserts, Aaron though coldly; cold as the pouring rain that came during early August for Sea Breeze town.
~
“Black Auras, that's seems familiar,” Agnes Cedar said after hearing the Bolster's tale, leaning back in her black leather desk chair, wrinkled hand on her equally wrinkled chin. The professor and her grandson Aaron were in her Office, a huge room full of books on of course Pokémon. Soon all the red drained from her face as Aaron dried off the poor Bolster and himself. “Oh dear, could it be?” The Professor said soon tapping some keys of the built in computer of her desk as she went to a seven year old article from Orre and a five year old article from Almia. “Aaron, have you ever heard of Shadow Pokémon.” The old lady asked, looking at her eldest grandchild with Hunter Green eyes, fading red hair almost covering one of them.
Aaron remembered them and that the Sandy Hills Museum had a upcoming Exhibit about them with information on the people who helped liberate them. “Yes, there are ways to make them like a Dark Shard or also whats known as a Dim Stone. Those close off their hearts, right?”
The Professor smiled at her brilliant prodigy of a grandson, “Yes, destroying a Gigaremo machine or using a Bright Stone, like the huge one in Agate Forest, break the hold the Shadows have over them. ” He remembered the events somewhat clearly due to his great memory.
“Cipher and Dim Sun right?” Stating the Organizations that used them with a face of disgust like he was about to vomit all over his grandmother's nice, neatly carved office desk.
“Right, I'm going to call Professor Oak, Krane and Hastings, their all leading experts, I'm also going to try to contact the first hand people who dealt with the Shadow Pokémon. ” She then looked at the Bolster and smiled, “First, lets talk about your friend, it seems to like you so here.” She said handing him a shrinked, Yellow topped Poke ball. “Its a Starter ball special for Bolster, this way you know which ball she's in.” The Professor said she with emphasize.
The teen took the shrinked ball out of her hand as he looked to her, confused, “It's a girl Bolster?” He asked looking toward the Pokémon with confusion on his face.
The Professor chuckled, “Yes Aaron, did you forget that male Bolster are usually a foot and four inches tall and she's several inches smaller?” She asked innocently.
“Yeah though I got spunk!” The Bolster squeaked out as the Pre-Trainer was reminded of his sister, he smiling a vague smile. He Enlarged the Ball and then gently tossed it at the Bolster, who turned red once the ball hit and got sucked in. Soon the ball hit the wood floor with a plunk and wobbled once.
Twice.
Then with the successful third time a ping rang out as Aaron went and collected the Pokéball, smiling. He then shrinked the Pokéball, letting it sit on the built in scanner of the Poképod registering the Pokémon.
“Your first Pokémon, and without even using a official Starter.” The Professor said putting down the articles and projected on a nearby monitor three Videophone windows, each with a different man on the screen. The first was a sturdy man with fading gray hair and deep brown eyes- Professor Oak no less. The second was Professor Krane a man with squint eyes and spiky dark brown hair that looked in his late thirties. The Third, Professor Hastings, with slick back gray hair and hazel eyes.
“Colleagues, we have a copy cat of Team Cipher or now a newly resurected Order of Oblivion.” The Arcana Professor spoke, her fellow Professors gasping in disbelief.
“Oh dear, who told you a Shadow Pokemon appeared?” The youngest of them all said, meaning a Shadow Pokémon.
“A Pokémon, my grandson is a Whisperer and can understand their speech, a Bolster told him one was in Mirage Forest, with somebody with a O on their Shirt. I've heard of them but could it be?” She then went into a trance. Soon knowing who or what the man was probably from.
“Of who Grandma?” Aaron asked his Grandmother.
In a mere whisper, Agnes answered him accidentally, “The Order of Oblivion.” She said, reminiscing about something from long ago, but Agnes did look she was way older then she looked. The Order of Oblivion were said to be the ones who first created Shadow Pokemon for the Eclisped War thousands of years ago. The Forebearers-the Arcania name for Pokelanteans- fell though in the wake of the war between the Shiners(Normal Pokémon lead by the Order of Light) and the Shadows(Shadow Pokemon lead by the Order of Oblivion). “Old folktales tell that these people are using to put fear into the believers of Arcana's origins.”
Hastings was typing away as if to send emails, “We may not know for a while, if you have anymore detail, please contact me again Aggie, I have to go report this to Top Rangers. Solana, Lunick, Holly and Jackson will be going to all old Dim Sun workings and find out any information they can.” Hastings spoke as his screen disappeared.
“Grandma?” Aaron said, putting a hand on his Grandmother's shoulder, the Bolster in his other arm. The youth only cared for a few humans in the world, as his grandma was one of them.
“Oh, yes,” Agnes said, her trance broken glancing at the Kanto professor, “Sam, did you ever send those specimen?”
“I did; did you never get them my dear?” The lead professor asked as soon Agnes looked scared.
Agnes grabbed her wits and slowly replied, “We never did, oh dear I think the S.S. Cobalt got Ship-jacked. I heard news of a Ship getting hijacked a month ago, I never knew it could be the Cobalt. Stupid Cipher wannabes. Nearly Six hundred Pokémon gone, taken by this mysterious group.” She slumped into her office chair, rubbing her temple with her fingers gingerly.
Krane spoke up after texting someone on his phone, “I'll send Michael though Wes is a colleague of mine and I believe he is with the Snag Machines and the Blueprints of the Purifying Chamber that are being held in Sandy Hills' Museum. I'll email you his number so you can contact him in Sandy Hills. Krane out.” The young professor said as the screen clicked off.
“I'm going to investigate a little, good-bye Aggie, I'll call if anything comes up.” Leaving the professor and her grandson alone.
Though soon a explosion the deathly silence as Professor Cedar's eyes widened. Both her and and her Grandchild went down to see what the commotion was, though what they would soon fine would be something they wished they had never encountered.
~
Being a lonely Team Oblivion Peon sucked, literally. For now Team Oblivion Peon 237(originally Gerald) was simply using a modified vacuum to suck out the last of the basic Pokémon of Arcana, including the Starters they had especially breed and their evolutions. He hated his current job and wanted his boss, Commander Darren, to promote him as soon as possible, especially after being one of the the people that hi jacked the S.S. Cobalt and helped hid the ship in the bay of Cloudburst City.
After a month the two Shadow Pokémon Factories were in full swing, the northern one based on Research and Development as the southern one was more focused on Brute force. Peon 237 was issued his Shadow Pokemon and before his latest mission he stopped in the Mirage Forest. The forest served as a great place to try out the Shadow Pokémon; the grunt used his new play toys on a pack of Bolster and their evolutions, Zapbits, inside the creepy forest. That little target practice showed me I picked the winning side, the Peon though deviantly.
The lonely peon though had accidentally left one starter ball fall to the ground as he left the room, other Poke balls in vacuum in all. Hey, no one ever said he had to care about this sucky job, and he could just lie like a sailor. Though when he accidentally kicked the ball into the hallway where it would be noticed was his probable downfall.
Unfortunately for the Pokémon thief he ran smack into the Professor and her grandson, which was way bad for he thought that all the facility's employees left to go look at the diversion of an explosion he rigged in the back yard. Greek fire was very useful on a very rainy day.
The elegant and old lady in the lab coat screamed like a very ****** off Mismaguis, “What the hell are you doing!” The old woman crossed her arms, anger at the thief and angry at herself she didn't have her Pokémon to teach the loser a lesson. Aaron looked at the grunt with a dark smirk.
“I'm here to steal these Pokémon so we can finally build up a full Shadow Pokémon army and hey! You almost mad me spilled the beans!” Said the Peon as he stood in his dark clothing with a huge dark blue “O” for Team Dusk on his shirt. He soon took out his Shadow Pokémon Poke balls and let the Shadow Abra- a Pokémon that looked like a squinted-eyeed mouse and Machop- a gray, biped Dinosaur with red eyes- loose, the Professor and the punk kid probably not knowing what they were.
Unfortunately again for the grunt, the “punk kid” could see Pokémon auras, and saw the obsidian-colored auras which stuck out due to their demonic presence. He did had Bolster who healed but needed a second Pokémon. Though Aaron's problem was solved when he saw that lone Poke ball in on the ground the Peon dropped.
He went and grabbed the ball, holding the cold metallic sphere; with Bolster at his side, he let out a wolf pup with glowing red fur and embers sparking off it occasionally. The Embpup looked up at his supposed new master with blue eyes and then barked out, “What the heck are they?”
“Shadow Pokémon, and were taking them down.” The teen said ready to fight, his grandmother stepping aside to let her Grandson take care of the thug. He was happy he got a Embpup- which was what he considered, but getting a rare Bolster was just an added bonus.
He was good with hiding his nerves, for now he was as nervous as they came despite the rage that was building up in him. The teen focused, using fake confidence and his channeled rage to intimidate the grunt who barely even looked older then Aaron.
The Peon with his goofy white hair grinned, “Okay punk lets go! Abra, Shadow Wave, Machop, Shadow Blitz that puny Bolster.”
“PUNY!” The Bolster roared as soon her eyes looked like thunderstorm clouds. The Abra glowed with dark energy and let it out in a wave at the two normal Pokémon, both who dodged barely and got some damage. Machop turned dark and sparked as he rushed Bolster, who dodged very fast. The teen used the Party app of his Poképod and soon looked to see what his Pokémon had at her disposal. Wow Bullet punch, Thunderpunch, Growl and Thunder shock, this little guy, er gal, was breed well, the boy thought. He knew that Embpup had simple Bite and Growl so he knew he was at a slight disadvantage. The good news though was that the Abra and Machop were level fives- meaning on the same field with the Embpup and Bolster. No real threats minus the Shadow moves; some scary stuff, Aaron thought nervously.
The boy then thought for a sec then yelled out commands to counter, “Okay Pukka(subconsciously named the Bolster) use Thunder punch on Machop, Embpup Bite on Abra.” The Pokémon obeyed, rushing the Shadow Pokémon. Pukka smirked at her name but accepted it as she had her right paw spark with electricity sending the Machop into the Stone wall, knocking it out and leveling up soon afterwards.
The Embpup hesitated, nervous in his first big battle as he soon bit down into the tan psychic Pokémon, the Psi Pokémon yelling out as it shadow pulsed the Biter with a Shadow wave knocking the Embpup off..
“Alright, Pukka help Embpup out with a Bullet punch!” The Teen commanded as the Hamster's right paw turned metallic and hit the Psi Pokémon hard, knocking it out after a second Punch. The thief cursed returning the Pokémon to their Poke balls as he soon fled, leaving the Pokémon behind and the stolen ones.
“That will teach you ya lousy thief!” Aaron said the thief running away like a little girl, one who was scared off by a simple battle.
“That can count as your make up exam.” Aaron's grandmother said, going over to check on the Poke balls and the Pokémon inside, turning around to face her grandson “I'm gonna send you on an errand, one that's going to have you need this.” She said taking out a slim red-and black Pokédex Version 6. “I'll need to give you the national Dex though so you know what your dealing with. Though I think your right to receive the two other Starters Oak was going to receive since no Pokémon from Arcana are leaving till Oblivion is taken down. I need you to go and get Krane's Snag Machine, let Wes look at it and fix it up. You need to catch as many shadow Pokemon as you can and prevent Oblivion from all costs get anything that can aid them for destroying the world.”
The teen though just though of one thing- of course the Oblivion thing was important and all, but- “What about Lena, won't she be mad?” Aaron nervously asked his Grandmother. Selena Kingsly's tantrums were legendary in the small town. The people of Sea Breeze town said her roars were like a enraged Diagla's roar of time.
The old woman smiled, “Selena is youthfully feisty, but don't worry, I'll give her one of the Adapmutt meant for you two.” Aaron had heard they were very awesome Pokémon, they adapted to their surroundings, taken the Type of the local Pokémon with its ability Localize. “Though come on, lets prepare you for the rough road ahead.” The professor said as the teenager returned his new Pokémon to their Pokéballs, the pair soon walking to the laboratory of huge mansion.
Though his journey had started with a very fateful encounter with a special Bolster and a mysterious peon.
