~The Hidden Ones~

[OrangeDonphan]

OOC: First off, the kid Drago doesn't know isn't there. And what does BeastAarde look like?

"Aarde?" said Felix. Felix turned around to see some type of monster where Aarde was previously at. Unaware of any other transformations, Felix spoke, "Hey stop! Tommy and George controlled his with a plate of somekind. Stay here and I'll get you one!" The monster didn't listen, it jumped out of the cave and into the sky.

"Dang it!" cried Felix. He was alone except for Azelf and Mewtwo. Azelf promptly floated over to Mewtwo and used Wake-up Slap.

"Woah, what happened?" spoke Mewtwo.

"Aarde's gone Beast and that Chaos Commander escaped with Groudon and Beast George," replied Felix, "Come on, we can try to stop Aarde."

The three walked out of the cave looked to see where Aarde had gone. There was a trail of cracked Earth that led south and stopped, where he had jumped. "That's heading to Rustboro City," spoke Azelf, "We can teleport there."

Location: Team Chaos temporary stronghold

"So why do you tihnk Stephen is so obsessed with that weird ghost girl? Cuz honestly; she's nearly killed him, like, four times!" A female grunt said as she was moving equipment on a dollie.

"No idea. Maybe he's finally hit puberty hehehe." A male grunt chuckled as he walked next to her, carrying medical supplies. Stephen sure needed them.

Stephen was in his private quatres, injured but sleeping. Not only sleeping but remembering as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Professor Darwin Summers was on one of his research trips across Kanto, but this time was special. He brought his 6 year old son along with him because it was his birthday.

"Good evening Mother Natalie. I am professor Summers of Kanto Tech. I have a few questions for you." He asked with a smile.

"Very well. I'm not sure what use this old tower of the past could be to someone looking towards the future." The aging Priestess said with a chuckle. All of a sudden, a strange girl with purple hair skipped out of the Tower carrying a satchel and escorted by a Misdreavus and Duskull. "I'd like to introduce you to someone first." she said waving the little girl over.

"Hiya, I'm Violet and I'm gonna be a treasure hunter when I grow up!" She said cheerily. "Hey weird boy, you wanna come treasure hunting with me?" she said bluntly. Stephen smile and followed the girl and her ghosts. The cave was so dark, Stephen was constantly tripping over everything; rocks, roots, GEODUDES! But Violet was doing fine, it was like she was most comfortable in the dark. "Grim, can you use that move-thingy? Y'know the fire-ish one?" She asked her duskull. He nodded and lit up the tunnel slightly with a Will-o-wisp.

"What do you do in here?" Stephen asked her.

"Treasure hunting. The cave is so dark, people can't see how many jewels and stuff are down here. More shiny things for us." She said as she began picking at the wall. Stephen couldn't be sure in the dark, but it looked like her hand phased into the wall and she took out several precious stones.

The two children and two ghosts returned with a full satchel of treasures only to find their parents arguing.

"Disturb these graves, and your entire family will be cursed! This is their final resting place and they chose not to be cremated! Especially for a reason like yours! Be gone!" Natalie shouted as she sent Stephen's Dad away Stephen followed, but not until after recieving a birthday present from Violet>

"Its a moon stone. They're suppose to be good luck." Violet said as she handed him a dark, cresent shaped rock.

"Here, you can have this one. Its the only one I found, but I want you to have it." He said as he gave her a dusk stone before he was hurried by his dad back to the car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I only wished to allow you and your siblings to bring true peace to the world. I never thought we'd grow up to be enemies... Stephen thought as he slowly woke up.

 

[Tokyo Oranges]

Sera didn't know where she was but the power raging throughout her body drove anything except primary instinctual needs from her mind. She had been running and hadn't stopped for a moment, until now. She stood befoe a beautiful picturesque pond, The pokemon who usually occupied the pond were watching as this larher pokemon stood at the bank, even the magikarp managed to swim to the surface for a few moments to see the newcomer. None of the pokemon had seen the gigantic cat-like creature, but it felt as tohugh it belonged. She dipped her large, magnificent head into the water and drank deeply. When she finished she shook her head and bolted again. It only lasted for a moment but none of those pokemon would ever forget what they saw.

Somehow her powe seemed to be draining, rather rapidly until finally the large beast collapsed in a cave outside Hearthome city. her body shrinking back into it's humanoid state.

When she awoke she felt as though her limbs were made of lead. and then she noticed something, She was naked, she remembered that her clothes had torn when she transformed. Instinctively she covered herself even though there was nobody in the cave.
"I need to get some clothes, but i can't exactly walk out of the cave and go grab some from a store."
She thought and remembered the ditto, It could use transform, maybe she could too, but into what pokemon? A normal type would probably be easiest. But nothing that would grab too much attention.
She concentrated for a moment picturing a pokemon in her head and felt her body begin to change. She was getting smaller and white and red fur. Her hands changed into paws with long claws. Except for the fact that on her back there was a small obscure patch of red fur that was roughly shaped like the symbol of normal types she looked like a normal Zangoose.

She dropped to all fours and ran out of the Cave, She wandered until she found a huse with wash out on a line. From what she could smell, The people who lived there were currently not home, She lept into their yard and stood up, It would be a difficult to grab things as Zangoose's hands only consisted of two long front claws. However She managed to pull down a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for herself. Taking the bundle back in her mouth she ran back to her cave.

Back in the cave she transformed back into herself and pulled on the clothing. The jeans were too tight and the shirt a little loose but at least she was covered. But she felt tired again, "I must have overdone it, that crazy beast-thing must have drained me a lit more than i thought. she said drowsily as she lay her head down on the cool stone floor and was asleep almost instantly.

 

[Ysavvryl]

After thinking and not coming up with much, Stella decided to leave the cave for some sunshine. Climbing back up was harder, as she had to put away the flashlight at a few points to climb back up the drops. Nothing would deter her, though, and now she had a perfectly valid excuse to be that way.

She checked on her skirt, making sure there were no tears. There was a bit of dirt. Did she go back to the Sterlings now, or what? Or should she find some more Steel Pokemon and talk with them? Iron Isle might be a good location for that, or Mount Coronet. But there might be something else she should be doing. Unfortunately, she had no way to contact Violet.

“<Whoa, hey,>” Magnemite said.

She looked down at him. “What?”

“<There’s like some crazy electrical power hanging around. And some kind of dragon, I think. Do you know any Electric Dragons?>”

“No, but that would be pretty awesome.”

It snickered. “<Too right!>”

Curious, Stella squinted at the end of the cave. There was a shaft of light indicating the cave near Fuego. It had been overlooking the ocean, right? She hadn’t really paid attention to that. That voice probably had subconsciously called her. “There might be something... I’m not quite used to this.”

Two small shadows appeared in the shaft of light. Stella walked up to them. At a flash of movement, she brought her hands up in an attempt at defense. But they latched onto her securely.

“<Oh, um, hey guys,>” her friend said to the other two Magnemites. “<Don’t you just love Magnet Pull?>”

One of them buzzed. “<I told you we probably shouldn’t go ahead on our own.>”

She held her arms out, with the two new ones stuck to them. “I'm going to be popular with you guys, aren't I?”

“<Sorry.>”

“<We brought your brother here,>” the other said, pointing out the cave with its free magnet. “<But then another one arrived.>”

“How’d they know I was here? I didn’t tell the others where I was going.”

“<Your true brothers. That’s who’s outside.>”

With her friend on her shoulder, another Magnemite lower on her right arm, and the third on her left, Stella came out of the cave. There were three powerful Pokemon out here. Two were Electrics; the beast one she thought she'd seen pictures of before, but the semi-human one with four wire tails was unfamiliar. The third was a half-dragon half-human that looked rather tough.

But if the Magnemites were right, she didn’t have anything to fear from them. She smiled and waved at them. “Hello. Are these your friends? They seem to like me.”

“<Aw man!>” her friend said, twisting its free magnet. “<An Electric Dragon would have been wicked cool to meet.>”

 

[OrangeDonphan]

Felix

Felix had just realized that the "strong magnetic force" was this starnge girl with Magnet Pull. Apparently she was another Hidden One, of steel maybe. He had nearly jumped when he realized a dragon-kid was behind him.

“<Aw man!>” the other Magnemite said, twisting its free magnet. “<An Electric Dragon would have been wicked cool to meet.>”

"Well sorry, Mr. Magenmite, I'm no Dragon. And I'm guessing your my sister? Steel or something?" spoke Felix, if each of his siblings had a type, she sure fit the description, "And you, "Dragon", I'm hoping you're on our side."

"Yes, I'm The Child of Royalty. I just came from a mission with two other of our sisters, Gwen and Sera. They're just over that ridge with the Regis at Mt. Coronet," replied the Dragon-Kid," I think we should head there. Oh yeah, My name is Drago."

Stella, Daniel, Drago, and Raikou walked back up the trail to where Alec and the other legends were sleeping. Nonchalantly kicking Alec, Daniel woke him up. "Get up, we're fixing to move again. To Story Pillar (right?). Oh yeah, that's Stella, she's with us," spoke Daniel, aknowledging Alec's confused look when he saw the pale girl with Magnemites stuck to her arms.

Alec grabbed his stuff, and climbed ontop of Lugia, with Stella behind him. "Woah, there! You are heavier than you look, child," said Lugia.

"Hey, you can try my transportation, Magnet Rise!" told The Child of Energy. He floated up a little higher to where he was almost flying, "You should be good at it, you have Magnet Pull, don't you?"

Stella tryed and finally perfected it, then they took off into the sky.

 

[Son_of_Shadows]

OOC: KS, I need a better description of the temporary stronghold.

---

George had reverted to his normal form, from sheer fatigue. The battle with Felix had taken it out of him. Trapped inside the Pokeball, he could only cover his ears from the deafening roar of Miranda's motorcycle. He wept slowly. How could he have lost control like that? As a result, he was now playing for the other time, with no choice but to follow Miranda's orders. Eventually, the bike stopped. Where, George had no idea, but it appeared to be some kind of laboratory. Miranda, with the Child of Water attached to her belt, entered, when there was a boy, no older than fifteen. "I got one," she said, and released George, who landed clumsily on the floor.

"Ow."

"Hmm... The Child of Water?"

"I'd guess so."

"... Excellent..." muttered the boy.

 

[tumbleweed93]

'Yaa!'

Shaymin leaped from Tommy's pocket and onto the floor to face him. Two thick looking vines were wrapped around the boy's waist, Tommy's struggling only making the vines tighter. 'Shaymin get out of here!' Tommy shouted. Shaymin nodded tearfully and ran back the way they had come. The vines tugged hard and Tommy was pulled backwards where he met an unwelcome sight.

before he could react, the chaos scientist attached something around Tommy's neck. The vines, which belonged to a particularly nasty looking Venusaur, prevented any movement. Two more of the strange metal bands were strapped around Tommy's wrists. H heard the scientist talking into a walkie-talkie.

'Subject Ice Child is equipped with the mind control collar and wrist bands, over'

Tommy suddenly felt a sharp jolt in his head as what seemed to be a second conciousness formed inside his mind. It pushed the real Tommy back into the recesses of his own mind. Tommy was no longer in control. The new Tommy was.

The scientist smiled evilly as Tommy's bright blue irises faded to gray. The mind-control was effective. he returned his Venusaur and sent out a Xatu. In a flash the three had teleported away.

Tommy had been captured, and this time he could not even control his own mind.

 

[Killer_Squirtle]

Violet avoided the city all together. She was limping around route 13 aimlessly. She could practically feel Tommy's presense, but she had no idea where he was. Finally she couldn't bare to walk anymore and she sat down on the dock and dipped her aching leg in the water. The water turned red slightly and she knew she was bleeding. There was a gaping wound in her shin from when she was fighting Yetommy. It probably reopened because of her long tredge all the way from Diglett Cave. She took a few band-aids out of her and patched up.

Maybe I can track him by scent in my beast form! She thought as she transformed. Her wings were aching even more than her back was. No flying today. Just sniffing. Violet caught Tommy's scent and ran a fair way towards where it was strongest. She not only found her brother, but a man in a lab coat and a Xatu.

 

[MarshtompMan]

OOC: Gwen and Sera were at Myth Pillar in Mt. Pyre. Drago was heading for the one in Sinnoh. And Violet has band-aids inside of her body?!

Aarde had finally calmed down and reverted back to his original form. Weak and on the brink of fainting, Aarde screamed for help. And then everything went black.

*Flashback!*

"Come on, Aarde, is that the best you can do?!", said a man dressed like a ninja.

"Hey, that was pretty close to the target, Master Koga!", said Aarde.

"Well, my grandson Alec gets the shuriken on the mark all the time!", said Koga, teasing Aarde.

"I'll show you!", said Aarde, throwing the next shuriken, and hitting the target spot on.

"That's great, Aarde! Keep practicing, I have to go train my grandson right now. See you later!", said Koga, walking off.

Aarde sighed as he continued to throw shuriken at the target.

 

[OrangeDonphan]

OOC: Oh, umm....then they'll just regroup at Myth Pillar?....To Hoenn!

Felix

This was his second teleport and he was starting to get used to it. The pull of your body, then unconsiousness followed by arrival. It kind of reminded him of an old book he had read, Larry Potter or something. When they arrived in Rustboro, the town looked partly destroyed. It appeared that something large had torn through gym and collpased the school along with a few buildings. Following the tremor-trail it stopped mid town where a boy was collapsed onto the street. "Aarde!" shouted Felix, "Um....Azelf and Mewtwo, keep him happy, I have to find something. If this is the city of stone and Aarde needs somekind of plate, maybe he could find it here, maybe he could find one for him. Felix took off towards one of the still standing buildings, the museum.

The first floor had a reception desk and a few display cases, nothing too spectacular considering most of them were of common evolution stones. Finding the stairs on the left side of the building, he read a sign, "1st floor: Stones of Evolution, 2nd floor: Underwater Treasures, 3rd floor: Desert 111- Hidden Bounties, and 4th floor: off-limits."

"Hmm....I don't think it would be found below the water, so third floor is where I should go," thought Felix.

 

[Killer_Squirtle]

Violet began to feel anxious as she stared down the nutty professor and his pokemon. She felt even more anxious as she saw her brother with a strange belt and collar. She gave a warning shot shadow ball in their direction.

"You don't intimidate me wolf-breathe!" The man in the lab coat scoffed. "Xatu! Ominous Wind!" The bird began to flap its wings as it unleashed a horrible wind through the battle field. The wind felt like it burnt Violet's skin-er fur, and she yelp as it hit her injured leg.

"Ah, I see. Hiding an injury. Pride is such a painful thing." He taunted. "Xatu aim for the back right leg. Peck!" Xatu charged at Violet with a glowing beak and landed a direct hit on her injured leg. Blood poured out onto the Xatu's green feathers and got into its eyes. Violet fought through the pain and Shadow clawed the Xatu in the back before it returned to its trainer.

"You are pathetic. A single hit and your already begging for mercy. See how that hell hound is hurt beyond measure, yet it still fights? Learn from it!" He scolded the injured bird. "Xatu, return. Venusaur, I choose you!" He swaped out his pokemon and Violet was faced with a plant-frog, fresh and ready to fight!

 

[Xashlei]

Eriol slowly opened his eyes, How long was I out...? He yawned, then looked around. He was alone, wherever he was in Digglett cave. He grunted as he stood up, and looking at Violet's note, he was to stay put. As usual. He closed his eyes and tried to think, but not much seemed to matter anymore. His life in the past was all a sidequest, of sorts. Xerxes was against him now, regardless of how close the two were in the past.

They both had their opposite missions. But Eriol wasn't doing anything. Maybe it was his outlook to them. Eriol admits it himself: he looks and at times is aloof. He's not much of a hand at fighting, either...

He started to spontaneously sing a lullaby inside the cave, disregarding whether or not he'd get attention. He touched one of the walls, then when a Digglett came out, he merely patted it in a friendly manner, so it didn't attack him. Peacemaking is my talent... but that's just about it. He sighed, then continued humming with just some Digglett company.

 

[tumbleweed93]

Tommy watched on helplessly as his sister had to fight when something changed. He heard a voice, a horrible, dark voice. Darkrai's voice. It seemd to be in control of the control collar!

'Let's make this fun shall we?' He taunted darkly, making Tommy's blood boil. Darkrai now had control of the real Tommy as well. The collar snapped as Darkrai entered Tommy's body, infecting his mind.

The scientist turned to see the collar gone and a hideous shadow floating just above the boy's head. Tommy fired an Ice Beam at the Venusaur which fainted instantly, the power of two legendaries combined was too much for it. However Tommy didn't stop there.

The scientist ducked as another Ice Beam pierced the air, freezing the tops of his ears and his hair. The scientist legged it as fast as he could. Now Tommy had a new target. Violet.

Darkrai transformed Tommy into beast form. He was having fun controling his little brother, and his little sister seemed like a fun toy to play with too...

Tommy spoke for Darkrai, his booming beast voice scaring off any pokemon around.

'SO LITTLE SISTER VIOLET? CAN YOU FACE OFF AGAINST YOUR BROTHER AND ME?!'

 

[Killer_Squirtle]

"Who are you? You're not Tommy!" The hell hound demanded. Her blood began to boil and she raised her arrow-tail and aimed it right at the yeti-dog. She impaled the ground right next to him and, unbelievably, he didn't even flinch.

"That was your one warning shot! Get away from Tommy or this'll get ugly!" She growled. She charged up a shadow claw in an attempt to scare the creature out of Tommy. She really didn't want to fight Tommy, not again. The last time the beasts fought, both of them got seriously hurt.

"Nice try, but I know you won't hurt your little brother, ghost-girl! My name is Darkrai, little sister. Just surreneder, you have no chance!" Yetommy scoffed. He was charging up a ice punch to counter her Shadow claw.

"...Your call." Violet said before disappearing into the shadows. She appeared right behind him and made a direct hit with a shadow claw/force combo attack. "Your a legendary who's been asleep for ages, I'm at full power, and Tommy is still injured. You don't have a chance Dar... Dard... What's your name again?"

 

[tumbleweed93]

'IT'S DARKRAI, AND I HAVE BEEN DOING FAR MORE THAN SLEEPING!'

Tommy shook off the attack as if it were nothing and rounded on Violet. He shot out an ice beam that seemed to be mingled with a dark energy. the attack hit Violet full on, dealing super-effective damage, it was only a disguised Dark-type attack.

'I have been watching you, and your siblings. I wanted new play-things. And I WILL have them!' Tommy boomed as he shot a Dark Pulse at Violet.

Inside his head, Tommy's mind was become more and more distant, he was becoming more and more sleepy. Soon he was barely able to think. The real Tommy was asleep, Darkrai had full control.

 

[Ysavvryl]

((OOC: tried to move this group along, but I'm not sure who knows what...))

Alec told Stella what was going on as she followed after Daniel. She couldn’t move herself too far from her Electric brother, but could affect gravity near him. “And we’re to save the world?” she asked.

“That’s it,” Daniel said cheerfully. “Awesome, right?”

“What do we know about this Chaos group?” she asked. “I know they were looking to kidnap me in Jubilife before I realized what was going on. And they might have kidnapped a girl named Hazel from Floaroma.”

“I dunno anything,” Daniel replied. “I thought I was just a normal kid when I got up this morning.”

“They took Koga,” Alec said, fuming. “And I still haven’t heard anything about him.”

“They took Lance too,” Drago added, winging in closer to them. “Was there anybody in the Pillar room?”

“That room with the marble columns?” Stella asked.

“Yeah.”

“Not when I was in there.”

“We didn’t leave anyone when we left,” Lugia added. “We may have to head over to Hoenn.”

“Back over? Sure thing. I left Gwen and Sera there to recuperate from our last battle.”

“So you don’t know much about our enemy other than they like to kidnap people?” Stella asked. “That’s a problem.”

“Maybe some of the others know,” Alec said. “We’ve been scattered for a while.”

The group rested for a while, then headed over the ocean to Hoenn.

 

[Tokyo Oranges]

Sera woke to the sound of pidgeys chattering, The sun filtering through the cave opening was tinted red, giving her the impression that it was late afternoon. When she at up her body felt stiff as though she had not moved in a long time.

"how long was I out this time?" She said to herself.
Her thoughts drifted to the battle before her capture and escape. "I wonder if they're all okay, but I can't be sure with that awful ditto with them."

A head poked into her cave, "Good you're awake."

Sera jumped violently at the voice and let a stray growl escape her lips.

"Woah, take it easy I ain't gonna hurt you."

"Why should I be so trusting?" she said with another trace of a growl.

The boy that the voice belonged to walked into the cave causing her to move from a sitting position to a crouch and as she did so she felt something slide off her legs, a blanket.

"I bin the one who'se been lookin' after you for the last two days." He said. He appeared to be not much older than herself.

"Really? why?" Sera said dropping her guard a little.

"Well iss simple, it'd be wrong to let another living creature be hurt all alone like you was."

Sera nodded. "I guess, but not many follow the same philosophy" she said with a trace of cynicism

"Well, maybe the world'd be a bit better if they did." He said brushing a piece of silvery hair out of his face.

"I guess I should thank you." she sat back down and folded the blanket back up and handed it to him

"So what'chya gonna do now?"

"I need to go to Hoenn." She didn't know exactly why really she just knew she needed to go.

"Well, thas' a bit of a ways from here and we ain't ezacly close to a ferry either."

"Hang on, why haven't you been all curious about me, I mean you haven't really asked anything of how I look."

"Please don' tell me you're one of those self-conscious types aways worried bout their appearance."

"What?! No I just-" She looked at him closely. His eyes were unfocused and a cloudy brown color.
'He's blind?' She thought.

"Ya noticed then. Well at least you're human right." He said with a chuckle.

"Not as much as I'd like to think. " She said thinking about the beast she had become some time earlier.

"well, you're not gonna eat me at least, ya woulda done that a while ago if you were." He smiled "I'm Morgan by the way.

"Uh, Sera." She looked outside and saw it was nightfall.

"Hey I know a way we can get on a ferry. We could be stowaways!" Morgan said with a gleam in his unseeing eyes.

"Sure" She said laughing though at the back of her mind she was wondering how that would work out.

(( I woulda finished it yesterday but i was really busy DX))

 

[Killer_Squirtle]

It was apparent that Darkrai was angry now. His dark type attacks fused with Tommy's icy self felt like cold flames on Violet's skin.

So this is what 'Super effective' attacks feel like. Not very pleasent. I've got to stop going for type advantages! Violet thought as she felt the full brunt of the attacks. Her wings froze from the ice cold attacks and her flesh was bruised from where the dark attacks hit. Violet stumbled over onto her injured leg and yelped.

This is really not good! I've got to retreat for now... She thought as turned to run, but she was in the back of the head by another attack. Her vision blured for a moment, before she fell over and passed out. She reverted back to her humanoid forme to save energy.

her breathe was heavy in her sleep...

 

[tumbleweed93]

'Come Tommy, let's go' Darkrai instructed.

Tommy tried to fight, he wanted to stay here, with Violet. He didn't want to be alone again. Not again! He hated being alone, and Darkrai was going to make him lonely again. Tommy wouldn't let that happen.

'GET OUT!' Tommy roared, he felt like he was going to burst, but he manged to overthrow Darkrai, who was thrown from Tommy's body. Now Tommy was himself again, but he wasn't going to be gentle anymore. He was going to hurt Darkrai. Hurt him like he had done his sister. Shaymin ran up, next to Tommy.

'Ready Tommy?' Shaymin asked.

The wolf-yeti nodded, then leapt at Darkrai, jaws open, teeth sharp and jagged. This was going to be difficult, but Tommy would make sure that he won.

 

[Son_of_Shadows]

Where am I?

A laboratory on Route 10. answered a voice from nowhere.

What happened to me?

That was your Beast Forme. An incredibly powerful forme, which you need to learn to control. If you lose control again... it said ominously.

What do I need to do now?

Escape the laboratory, reunite with your siblings, discover your Humanoid Forme, and then defeat Stephen. However, you can only hope to defeat him, when the seventeen are one.

Humanoid Forme? Stephen? Wait! Don't go.... George awoke with a start, as the voice faded. Arceus. Who else could it have been? He looked at his surroundings, discovering that he was being held in a cell, and he was now back in his True Forme. This shouldn't be a problem... he thought, and dissolved into a puddle, attempting to move between the bars of the cell. However, he was repelled by a powerful barrier that gave him a shock. "Yeowch!" he cried. Okay... Maybe this won't be so easy.
