《Pokemon Black & white: The Complete Story》 Chapter 1: The start of the journey Kuro: Crap, I''m going to be late! A boy said as he rushed out the door, not 100% prepared. He even had his hat on his wrist, but he didn''t care! Today was the day of his journey, the journey to becoming a pok¨¦mon trainer. Despite his bad luck with pok¨¦mon, he was still determined to become a Trainer. He arrived in the lab and Walked through the automatic doors Kuro: H-Hello...? I-Is anyone here? He looked around, he was somewhat nervous. Then, someone popped up in front of him, sticking out their tongue. It was, in fact, the pok¨¦mon professor, Aurea Juniper. Prof. Juniper: Boo. The boy jumped and ran out of the room, hiding to the right of the door at the entrance completely terrified. The automatic doors opened, and you can see the boy''s head slowly coming out from the corner as he shivered in fear Prof. Juniper: Hahaha! Oh Kuro, it''s always sooooo Easy to scare you!" The boy ran back into the room, puffing up his cheeks and Glaring the professor down Kuro: That isn''t funny!! You know how I am why would you do that to me!? The Professor laughed once again, as he walked backward and placed her hand on a table staring at Kuro Prof. Juniper: Now that all the fun''s over, let''s get down to business. Another table slowly rose up behind her, holding three pok¨¦balls in it, That all opened up as three Pokemon came out from the pok¨¦balls, one from each. Prof. Juniper: Here you have three choices of Pokemon, Whichever one you chose will be your partner for your Journey. You''ve got between Oshawott, Tepig, and Snivy. Kuro was both scared and excited, but mostly uncertain. He couldn''t pick with one he wanted most. He slowly walked up to them, one step at a time til'' Oshawott jumped towards him and sat on his head. Oshawott threw their tiny arms in the air, laughing. Then, Tepig jumped up and Tackled Oshawott off and they both hit the ground. Snivy sighed and walked over to them. Snivy''s vines whipped out, and it grabbed both Oshawott and Tepig by the waist, trying to calm them down. But Tepig wouldn''t let up and snorted out a small blast of fire at Snivy. The dust had made its way in Snivy''s eyes, as the vines released the grip of Oshawott and Tepig and Tepig ran towards Snivy. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Snivy rubbed its eyes glaring Tepig downed. Tepig scrapped its foot across the floor, and charged at Snivy, Snivy stepped out of the way and whipped it with its vines. Oshawott, completely scared and confused, Ran outside the automatic doors. Prof. Juniper: Aww great.... Kuro, also scared and confused, ran out the automatic doors, looking for Oshawott. He looked around everywhere, Yelling out Oshawott''s name for a response. Kuro: O-Oshawott! Where are you? Kuro looked up at the tree above him and saw Oshawott clutched onto the branch, shivering and whimpering in fear Osahwott: Osha... Kuro nodded to himself and started to climb the tree. Oshawott saw this and jumped as he started to shiver, he was scared. He couldn''t do anything because if he had released his grip on the branch, he would fall -- And Oshawott didn''t want that Kuro: I-It''s okay...I''m not here to hurt you. Kuro sat himself down on a branch underneath Oshawott, as he gripped onto the branch above him, putting on a forced smile. Kuro: Hey, Hey. It''s okay....You''re really scared of a lot of things...Like me. See, we have something in common already. Would....you like to be friends? The Oshawott looked at him with eyes like it was about to cry. Kuro reached out to it, holding his hand and Oshawott clutched onto Kuro''s hand with its tiny arm. The branch under Kuro fell and he hit the ground face first. He lifted up his face Kuro: Ow.... Oshawott released its grip on the branch and fell down. He landed on Kuro''s head and jumped off. Putting his tiny little flipper on Kuro''s head, as Oshawott smiled Oshawott: "Osha!" Kuro laughed a bit and stood up. As he grinned. Kuro: W-Well...Let''s go! Oshawott nodded, as it jumped on Kuro''s shoulder. And they both took off, to begin their journey. Chapter 2: Find, Locate, and Retrieve Kuro Shiro: Alriiight! Let''s go! A new character blasted her way into the scene as she ran as fast she could pass Accumlua town into route 1. A wild Pidove came from the tall grass and stopped in her tracks, grinning as she balled her fist and glared down the Pidove. Shiro: Oh, you want to go!? The girl ran over to Pidove and tried to kick it, but it flew away before she touched it. Shiro: That''s what I thought. She ran past the grass and placed her foot in front of the Automatic doors as they opened, so it looks like She kicked them open Shiro: Professor, I''m ready for a pok- She just stared at the destruction going on. The professor was chasing Tepig and Snivy, trying to stop Snivy and Tepig from battling it out. The girl walked towards them, and placed her leg out, as Tepig ran into it, and fell over Shiro: Oy. Stop.. The Tepig stared her down, and jumped back, as a delighted look made its way across Juniper''s face Prof. Juniper: Aha! Shiro! You''re here. Unfortunately, you''re late someone had already came in and taken a Pok¨¦mon, so you have between Tepig and Snivy. Shiro: That''s alright, I already decided who I wanted before I got here! Snivy! You''re going to be my partner for my journey! Shiro pointed at Snivy, as the Pokemon stared at her for a couple of seconds and grinned as it walked to Shiro. Snivy''s tail wrapped around Shiro''s neck and Snivy sat on her head. The professor tossed Shiro Snivy''s pok¨¦ball and walked towards Shiro with a Pok¨¦dex. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Shiro: What''s that thingy? Prof. Juniper: It''s a Pok¨¦dex! It automatically records the data of any Pok¨¦mon you''ve seen or caught. Which brings up the question, "Why am I giving you all this?" Because you asked? No. I want you, to record and find the data, of all the Pok¨¦mon in the Unova Region, will you do so? It''ll be the perfect chance for you to see the world. Think of it as a race, you''re trying to be the best trainer by seeing every Pokemon out there before the other kid does! Shiro looked at Snivy, and they both nodded in sync, the bond between the two already was a solid one. Shiro: Yes, I will do so. And I''ll do it before that other kid does! Then, something returned to The professor''s mind. As she gave another Pok¨¦dex to Shiro. Prof. Juniper: Oh! Speaking of the other kid, he received a Pok¨¦mon a little while ago and his name is Kuro. He hasn''t come back, which means he has already started his journey...That kid, for a scaredy-cat He''s sure quick on his feet. Sorry for the inconvenience, but could you give this Pok¨¦dex to him? He''s going to need it. He has an Oshawott, which is registered in your Pok¨¦dex, along with Snivy and Tepig. Just ring me up when you find him, okay? Shiro: Got it, thank you again, Professor Juniper! Shiro gave a huge smile, and laughed a bit, as she ran outside to both, achieve her goal of being champion, and catching all Pok¨¦mon in the region, and to find Kuro Chapter 3: When paths cross
Kuro arrived in Accumlua town, as he looked around he noticed it was a peaceful city, but he overheard two people talking as he walked inside the town. "Hey, you hear that? Something''s going down in the Plaza!" "Oh, well let''s go check it out." Kuro: T-The Plaza? Kuro looked at Oshawott, who which he was holding in his arms. Kuro: Let''s check it out, shall we? Oshawott: Osha! Kuro walked towards the front of the Plaza, where there seemed a couple of people. There were two people wearing gray hoodies with 2 signs at the end that had a Light Blue P in the center with a line going through it in the form of a "Z". On the left of the P was white, the right was black. Then a man with some sort of gadget around his eye and a cane in his hand stepped forward. Ghetsis: My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pok¨¦mon liberation. The crowd would begin to whisper. "Huh? What? Pok¨¦mon liberation?" Ghetsis slowly paced his way to the right of the crowd. Ghetsis: I''m sure most of you believe that we humans and Pok¨¦mon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However...Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans...only assume that this is the truth? I am a strong believer in the ways of life that were custom to the ancient past is the true way to live...and in those times, no man woman or child enslaved their "partners" in Pokeballs. Ghetsis walked back to the spot he was standing in before. Ghetsis: Pok¨¦mon....subjected to the selfish commands of their trainer''s. They get pushed around when they are our "partners" at work. They are beaten, bruised, taken from their homes, and are even traded or sold off and yet we believe this is acceptable? Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I''m saying? The crowd longed around among themselves, looking down. Some of them were too terrified to speak. "I...I don''t know. . ." "No way." Ghetsis made his way to the left end of the crowd. Ghetsis: Now, ladies and gentlemen, Pok¨¦mon are different from humans...they are the superiors. They are living beings that contain unknown potential, knowledge, and power. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pok¨¦mon?" "To be trainers? Look after them? Protect them? Liberation? To come to an agreement with them through speech, not force. Ghetsis formed a grin on his face, as he went back to the center of the Plaza. Ghetsis: That is why we must literate Pok¨¦mon! Then, and only then can humans and Pok¨¦mon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pok¨¦mon...and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention. The People behind Ghetsis, all with matching clothes, grabbed the signs at the end of the twelve of them and walked Away with Ghetsis in the lead. Everyone was left speechless. They didn''t know what to say and some just clutched their pok¨¦balls...others just walked away. Kuro just looked down, holding Oshawott close in his arms. Kuro: Oshawott....Do you think...What Ghetsis said....Is true? Oshawott reached out to Kuro''s head and took his hat, placing it on its head. The hat was too big for him and covered Oshawott''s body as he nodded his head left and right. A smile made its way on Kuro''s face Kuro: Yeah...Thanks....Oshawott! Then, a sound was heard. Like to Bell''s clanging into each other. Kuro turned around to where the sound was coming from and another person had made their way to the scene. He had a hat, gray top and the flap was black, and he had a necklace on, which seemed to be a Black Jupiter, with a light blue ring, and a Golden cube pinned around his pocket. He slowly made his way towards Kuro. ???:That''s a refreshing sight to see the bond you and your Pokemon share...there seems to be real love growing between the two of you. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Kuro jumped Little and took steps back. He was -- scared, nervous, confused. Kuro: W-Who are you?? Kuro took another step backward but before his foot touched the ground. The boy in front of him placed his hands in his pockets, and a small smile would carve its way on his face. N: My name...Is N. I am a Pok¨¦mon Trainer, just like you...I''d like to see you around someday to see if your bond with your Pok¨¦monis stronger than it is right now. N moved his hand from Kuro''s head and walked away. Before long, he was out of sight. Kuro sighed, he was shivering a little bit but stopped Kuro: That...was close. Then a loud rumble was heard behind Kuro. When he turned around to see what it was, He Kicked into the Pok¨¦mon Center front Doors! Shiro: Peeerfect ten! The voice was a girl''s voice, as she balled her first then looked at Kuro, laying in front of the Pok¨¦mon Center front Door''s as his head spun around in circles. Kuro: Wee.... Oshawott: Osha... Shiro: Wha!?? O-Oh my bad! Did I kick you? I''m sorry! So so soooooooo sorry! The girl stopped, and she saw Kuro''s Oshawott and pulled out her Pok¨¦dex. Shiro: Hey, A hat...An Oshawott....A boy....! Is your name Kuro? The girl asked as she jumped up and down in place. Kuro: Y-Yeah....My name is Kuro. He picked up his hat from the ground, and placed it back on its head, holding Oshawott in his arms. Shiro: Nice! I found you! My name is Shiro, Shiro Veritas. The Professor told me to find you and give you this. Shiro handed Kuro the spare Pok¨¦dex in her pocket, he grabbed and looked at it rather confused. Kuro: What''s this? Shiro: It''s a Pok¨¦dex! Like the professor told me....! She made her voice deeper, trying to mock the professor. Shiro: It''s a high-tech automatic device that automatically records the data of any Pok¨¦mon you''ve seen or caught! Shiro laughed and smiled. Kuro stared at her and, started to blush. He used his hat to cover his face, but she grabbed his hat and moved it backward. Kuro: Hehe. Red turned into the new color of Kuro''s face, he was blushing from the interactions he and Shiro are sharing. Kuro: T-T-Thanks for the P-Pok¨¦dex...S-Shiro She closed one eye and stuck her tongue out at Kuro Shiro: Anytime! Well, I''ll get going, see you around, Kuro! Shiro laughed a little bit and ran off. Kuro reached out his arm towards her, he wanted to say "Wait!" But, he couldn''t. The words didn''t come out, and she was long gone.
Chapter 4: The Liberators Shiro: Snivy! Vine Whip! Kuro: O-Oshawott! Water gun! Snivy jumped into the air, and vines came out of the flaps on its Chest, whipping the opponent under it, which happens to be a Patrat. Oshawott dodged a Lillipup''s tackle, and blasted it with a small beam of water, blasting the Lilipup into the Patrat. Shiro: Now, Pound! Kuro: T-Tackle! Snivy hovered above the Patrat and Lilipup and slammed it''s tail one of them, pushing them down to the ground, while Oshawott tackled them, knocking them away. The Patrat and Lilipup fainted. Youngster: Tch...Patrat, return. You were great out there Lilipup, return. The trainer nodded at Kuro and Shiro and ran off. Kuro: We... Shiro: We won! Shiro hugged Kuro, jumping up and down. Shiro: Haha! We did it! Kuro: Y...Yeah, we did. These two trainers arrived in Striation City, where Shiro hopes to fight her first gym leader. Kuro: S-Shiro! I caught a Pidove, and a Lilipup! Shiro: Good work, Kuro, but you''ll need to find more if you wanna beat me! Check this out. Shiro pulled out her Pokedex, as Kuro stared dumbfounded -- Kuro had three Pokemon registered, Shiro has twenty! Kuro: H-How did you even get that many Pokemon?? Shiro: Easy! But a true master never reveals her secrets -- haha! Hey Kuro, I''m heading off to battle the gym, is that cool with you? Kuro: Y-Yeah, that''s fine..I''ll look for more Pokemon in the dreamyard. G-good luck Shiro Shiro gave Kuro the thumbs up. Shiro: Thanks! I''ll ring you up when the match is over! Then Shiro ran off, to the Striation Gym while Kuro, headed towards the Dreamyard.
Striation Gym Cress: Welcome, challenger! To the Striation Gym, home of the Striation brothers. It''s also a restaurant my name is Cress." Chili: I''m the hot one in the family, name''s Chili. Cress: I''m the cool member of the family. I''m Cress." Cilan: And together we make... All three: The Striation brothers!" A grin appeared on Shiro''s face, as she balled her fist. She was all fired up. Shiro: You Striation brothers will be known as theStriation Losers once I beat ALL of you!
Dreamyard Kuro was walking around the tall grass looking for Pok¨¦mon with Oshawott on his shoulder. Though he was scared, he was going to try his best. Kuro: wonder what kind of Pok¨¦mon are around here... Kuro spoke out loud, holding Oshawott in his arms as he wandered around the ruins of this dreamyard. Cones, Broken walls, stairs, despite the strange landmark, Kuro felt this "happy" aura in the dreamyard. This was the kind of aura that made Kuro believe he was in some type of Utopia. As he walked, he noticed a wall with a hole in the wall..and through this hole -- he had seen one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. A girl with brown skin, and long curly hair. The girl dawned a pure white dress, with no shoes or socks on her feet. Despite her beauty, there was something odd about her..she wasn''t standing on the ground! The girl was sitting...floating in mid-air, petting the head of aMusharna. Kuro stared at the girl in confusion and awe...Is he dreaming right now, or is thisgirlreally here?? Oshawott jumped out of Kuro''s arms and through the hole, running to the girl. Kuro followed behind his Pokemon by jumping over the wall. Oshawott jumped up to the girl...and she caught him! A little puzzled, the girl smiled, sinking Oshawott deeper and deeper in his love for her! Kuro stood and watch as when the girl looked at him. Once the locked eyes, he froze! Girl: Is this your Oshawott? Kuro: Y-Yeah, it''s mine. Sorry...i-is he bothering you? Girl: No not at all, he''s cute... Oshawott reached out closer to the girl''s face, as when she brought the Pokemon closer to her face, Oshawott kissed her! The girl blushed, laughing a little before kissing him back. Kuro stood and watched, wishing that he was Oshawott right now. Girl: What is your name? Kuro: M-Me? My name is Kuro...If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Sachi: Nice to meet you, Kuro. My name is Sachi. Do you know what this Pokemon is, Kuro? Kuro: No...I have never seen it before. Sachi: This is a Musharna. This mist coming from its forehead will soon take the form of a dream I had...and I need to see what it was one more time, I think it was a vision. Kuro: You had a vision?? Sachi nodded as she patted the head of Musharna. Then, at last, the mist turned into an image...a replay of the girl''s dream! In the reimage Musharna has created a boy is watching people and Pok¨¦mon. Though the Pok¨¦mon looked happy with the people, and the people looked happy with the Pok¨¦mon ¡ª the man had shed a tear. He walked in the center of all these people, as their pok¨¦balls levitated and the pok¨¦balls shattered! Once they shattered, the pok¨¦mon all walked away from the people. Sachi watched...with fear and curiosity in her eyes. Kuro was confused at to what the vision was. Kuro: This...was your vision? It looks like a bizarre dream. Sachi: Yes...that was the vision I had and I fear that this boy will see the world for his ideal world under someone''s control...and not for what this world truly is. Kuro raised an eyebrow, staring into the girl''s eyes -- Kuro was very confused. Kuro: W-what do you- Before Kuro could finish his statement, trouble had approached him -- as Team Plasma grunts stormed the area. Sachi''s eyes were coated in fear and Kuro trembled. Team Plasma Grunt #1: Heh...alright kids, time for us to s..."liberate" your pokemon.
Striation Gym "Snivy, Leer!" Snivy glared the Pansear in front of her down, lowering its defense. Chili balled his fist and pointed at Shiro. Chili: Pansear, Scratch Pansear charged towards Snivy, scratching it. Snivy took the hit and jumped up. Shiro: Vine Whip! Vines had appeared from the flaps on Snivy''s chest, and the vines whipped Pansear. Pansear grabbed the vines after it hit him, and spun them around, along with Snivy then threw Snivy. Chili: Now, Flame Burst! Shiro: Use your tail to block! Pansear unleashed a beam of flames. Snivy used its tail to block the attack but once it touched Snivy''s tail it exploded! Blasting Snivy into a wall butSnivy didn''t stay down for long as she stood up back on her feet. Chili: It''s gonna take a lot more than that to bring her down! Kuro: Impressive but the heat''s just turnin'' up.
Dreamyard The Grunts surrounded Kuro, all six of them formed a circle around him and Sachi -- as they sent out there pokemon, and Kuro sent out his. Kuro''s Pidove and Lilipup came into the battlefield, the Lilipup tried to tackle a Pawniard, but the Pawniard was able to avoid, and in the blink of an eye it slashed the Lilipup down. Kuro''s Pidove flapped it''s wings fast, trying to blow away the Gligar, but it flew right above it. The Gligar swooped down and grabbed the Pidove''s wings, doing a spin in the air and threw the Pidove into the ground. Kuro: L-Lilipup! Pidove..! A Zangoose came up behind Kuro -- Oshawott tried to blast the pokemon with a beam of water but the Zangoosed had slashed Kuro and Oshawott! Kuro had 3 diagonal lines on his back, that were bleeding. He hit the ground and fell. Oshawott tried to run towards Kuro, but the Zangoose knocked it back. One of the Plasma grunts walked over towards Kuro and stepped on his pok¨¦balls, eventually crushing every last one of them. Plasma Grunt #2: Liberation complete. She looked at Kuro''s Pok¨¦mon, and they stared back in fear. Sachi had then vanished. Plasma Grunt #1: You''re all no longer confined by the selfish commands of your trainer. You''re now...Free. The Lilipup and Pidove looked at her. The Lilipup ran away, and Pidove flew off, however, Oshawott didn''t move. He just stood next to Kuro. The grunts waved and walked away. Completely out of sight.
Striation Gym Chili: Fire Punch! Shiro: Dodge, and use Wrap!" Pansear charged towards Snivy and Punched her with a fist cloaked in flames, then Snivy swiftly avoided and wrapped her tail and body around Pansear, squeezing the life out of him little by little. Shiro: It''s all over. Snivy, whip Pansear if it tries to do anything. Chili: Pansear, Fire Punch! After Chili said those words, Snivy''s vines whipped out and whipped Pansear. Snivy released her grip on him and grabbed his arms by the vines, Spun him around, and threw him at the wall behind Chili. Pansear fainted. Chili: P... Pansear! Shiro jumped in the air and ran in a circle. Shiro: Yeah! We win! Chili sighed, and pulled out his pok¨¦ball, as a red aura came from it. Pulling Pansear inside the Pok¨¦ball. Chili: You were great out there...Pansear. Cilan and Cress watched from their seats, as Chili walked towards Shiro. And gave her a badge, the Trio Badge. Chili: Good job, Ms.Veritas, You''ve earned it. Shiro: Thanks for the battle, Chilli! Shiro grabbed the badge and placed Snivy on her head as she ran outside. She dialed Kuro''s number on her Xtransceiver, a device that allows her to do video chats with the people dialed on it. It''s shaped like a watch. However, when she called Kuro he didn''t answer. She dialed again, and again, but no answer. Shiro: O-Okay Shiro...Calm down, maybe he doesn''t know how to answer his Xtransceiver. As she thought to herself, she saw a group of individuals come out of the Dreamyard. They were all wearing the same outfits, it was the Team Plasma Grunts. Shiro''s heart sunk as they were walking by, and she rushed into the Dreamyard Shiro: No...Kuro! Chapter 5: Recover
Shiro rushed into the Dreamyard. Worried, scared, and overall -- Caring about Kuro''s current state. She wonders if the Team Plasma Grunts harmed him, or worse. Shiro: Kuro! KURO! Kuro please answer me! Oshawott heard these cries and yelled back out to Shiro. Oshawott: Osha! Shiro heard these cries and ran towards them. She eventually found Oshawott and Kuro. Her eyes were completely covered in fear as she saw Kuro lying on the ground, not moving an inch. She ran and held Kuro in her arms, holding him close. She could feel the slash marks the Zangoose had made on his back and some of the blood got on her hands. Shiro: Kuro......No... She started to cry. Tears fell from her eyes, and onto Kuro, as he slowly opened his eyes. Kuro: S.....Shiro? Kuro slowly placed his palm on her cheek, as she looked into his eyes, sobbing even more as she held him tighter. Shiro: Don''t scare me like that... I thought you were gone.... Kuro stood up a little bit. Kuro: They''re gone... Shiro: Who''s gone? Kuro: My Pok¨¦mon....Team Plasma set broke my pok¨¦balls and released them....I have no Pok¨¦mon left... Oshawott placed his hand on Kuro''s, looking at him with puppy eyes. Kuro: Expect Oshawott of course... Shiro held onto Kuro''s hand, holding it tight. Shiro: Team Plasma.....I won''t let them get away with this! Kuro: But...Shiro, it''s okay- Shiro: It''s not! It''s not okay. They hurt you... That''s more than enough reason for me despise them. Kuro was scared, he could tell that Shiro was upset. Despite that, he reached his hand out towards her. Placing his hand on her cheek, he pretended as if he was dying. W-We''ll get them for this....bleeeh. Shiro laughed, nodding as she looked at Kuro with a smile. Shiro: Like hell we will.
Striation City Kuro walked with his hands in his pocket, still shivering. He had flashbacks of that incident with Team Plasma, and it just sends chills down his spine. Shiro placed her hand on his shoulder as they walked Simultaneously when they heard someone. Girl: Anyone looking for a Pok¨¦mon? Free Pansear, Pansage, or Panpour riiiight here! Kuro heard this and walked towards the girl. As he put his hand up, he completely froze. He....was nervous. Shiro(Laughing): Haha, Kuro is such a scardey cat! Girl: Hm? Are you two looking for a Pansage, Panpour, or Pansear? Kuro: U-Um...Y-Yes, i-I''ll take T-The P-Pansage... The girl smiled at him brightly, she found it kind of cute that he was nervous. Girl: Alrighty then Mister, what''s your name? Kuro: I-It''s Kuro...Kuro Overdrive. Girl: Well Mr.Kuro, here you go! She handed Kuro a pok¨¦ball, the held inside the Pok¨¦mon of his choice, Pansage. Kuro: T-Thank you.. She nodded at him, and he blushed a little, covering his face with his hat. As he walked away, the girl could see the deep cuts on his back. Girl: What....happened to him?
Striation Gym Chili: Welcome there challenger! To the Striation Gym, home of the Striation Brothers! It''s also a gym! Chili: I''m the burning and intense member of the team, Name''s Chili! Cilan: I''m the best member of our family, My name is Cilan. Cress: I''m the calm and collected member of this Trio, Name''s Cress. Chili: And together we make.... Chili, Cress, and Cilan: The Striation Brothers! And we''re going to take you down! Kuro started to shake up, he was scared. Shiro patted his shoulder. Once Chili saw that Shiro was back in the building he screamed! As Shiro looked up at him and stuck her tongue out. Chili: Wah!? It''s you!! Shiro: Heeey there Striation Loser! My buddy Kuro is gonna beat one of your other brothers!! Shiro laughed as she got behind Kuro -- massaging his shoulders and giving him a small and brief prep talk. Shiro: you go this Kuro! you''ll do fine I know it." Kuro nodded and still shaking -- walked towards the Striation brothers, and pointed at Cress. Kuro: I-I''ll face you, you don''t seem so scary. Cress: I''m flattered, well let''s begin the battle -- Kuro. Cress pulled a Pok¨¦ball from his pocket and held it near his mouth. Cress: This battle will be a 1 on 1 Pok¨¦mon match, who''s ever Pok¨¦mon faints first, loses. Kuro nodded, and He pointed at the battlefield, as Oshawott jumped down, ready to fight. Panpour appeared from Cress''s Pok¨¦bal and jumped onto the field. It was all ready to go! Cress: Panpour, Fury Swipes. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Panpour slid in front of Oshawott and scratched it. Oshawott fell over and stood back up, Panpour continued to scratch, and scratch as Oshawott kept falling and standing up. Kuro: W-Water gun! Oshawott released a beam of water from his mouth, but Panpour jumped over it. Cress: Bite. Panpour backflipped onto the ground and tried to bite onto Oshawott but Oshawott jumped back and released another Water gun, blasting the Panpour back. Kuro: Y-You did it! Cress: Congrats you landed your first hit. Don''t get too excited though, Panpour Acrobatics! Panpour disappeared and reappeared in front of Oshawott, and started attacking him. Oshawott eventually fell down as Panpour jumped a couple of feet away from him. Kuro was nervous, he knew Oshawott couldn''t take much more. He had to finish this quickly, but how? Cress: Time to bring this battle to an end, Panpour -- Aqua Tail! Panpour''s tail was covered in water, and he rushed towards Oshawott. Oshawott started to run away as he tried to grab the Scallop from his chest. Then an idea sparked in Kuro''s head. "Oshawott, Razor shell!" Oshawott stopped running, grabbed the Scallop from his chest, and as Panpour tried to slam down his tail on Oshawott, Oshawott slashed Panpour diagonally, from it''s Chest to Its waist, as Panpour fell down! Cress: Oh? Surprise attacks I see. Panpour, acrobatics! Kuro: Oshawott -- water gun! Panpour disappeared and reappeared as Oshawott tried to him quickly with beams of water, but each hit failed -- as Panpour appeared in front of Oshawott and delivered a strong kick! Kuro: T-Tackle! As Panpour kicked Oshawott, Osahwott grabbed panpour''s foot and threw the Pokemon to the ground! Panpour fell, and Oshawott stepped on top of Panpour. Kuro: Razor shell! Osahwott whipped the scalchop off its chest, raising it in the air as a blue blade erected from the top of the scalchop. Then, Oshawott slashed down with all the might in its body to slash down at Panpour -- defeating it with one mighty attack! Cress: P-Panpour...? Oh dear, it seems as if you win... Kuro blinked, as Oshawott placed his Scallop back on his chest with a grin. Kuro: Oshawott... Shiro ran towards Kuro, hugged him and Spun him around. She''s more excited that he won than Kuro himself. Shiro: You won! You won! Yooooooooou won! Kuro: Yeah I did, it was all thanks to Oshawott. Shiro looked at Kuro, as something just crossed her mind that she was thinking about during the mists of the battle. Shiro: How come you didn''t use Pansage? It would have been waay easier. Kuro: I-I didn''t want to make it fight...I just got Pansage. Shiro: Ooooh, okay I guess! As Cilan and Chili watched from their seats, Cress walked towards Shiro and Kuro, as he fixed his hair, smiling with his eyes closed. He handed Kuro a badge, and Oshawott hopped on Kuro''s head. Cress: Kuro, was it? Great work out there, you''ve earned the Trio Badge. Kuro shivered, and slowly took the badge. Kuro: T-Thank you! Shiro released her grip around Kuro, and grabbed his hand, rushing out the door. Shiro: Come on! Let''s go! To the next gym! Kuro: W-Wait! Slow down! Cress laughed a bit, as he walked towards Chili and Cilan. Cilan: You looked like you had fun out there Cress. Chili: Yeah! You were all fired up! Haven''t seen you like that in a minute. Cress: Yes, I was greatly amused. It''s a shame, though. Cilan wasn''t able to battle today." Cilan: Oh no worries, it''s alright. Chili: Hey speaking of Kuro..did you see what was on Kuro''s back?" Cress: No, why? Chilli: He had three deep slashes in his back. Which means him and his Pok¨¦mon could''ve been in some kind tough battle before they got here. For a timid young man like him he seems to be in some deep trouble. Cress: Trouble huh? Cress stared at the entrance/exit of the gym, thinking back to how Kuro and Oshawott grew a little closer during their match with him. Cress: That boy....I wish only the best for him.
Chapter 6: A Storm of Rage He came busting into the scene, As he ran through the streets of Aspertia City. He heard that Team Plasma was somewhere within the nearby area. Filled with nothing but rage, he rushed through Route 19 and ended up In Floccesy town. Stopping, then made a sharp right turn and kept running. A beam of energy blasted right past him, and he stopped dead in his tracks. He found who he was looking for. Five Team Plasma Grunts, with the same outfits from what the one''s Kuro faced had. With fierce Pok¨¦mon behind them, and one stepped closer to him. Plasma Grunt: Citizens of this small town. We hereby declare you all to liberate your Pok¨¦mon. Those who should oppose willhave their Pok¨¦mon liberated by force. Everyone was terrified. Her words alone were intimidating, not to mention the Pok¨¦mon she had by her side. They all slowly pulled out their Pok¨¦balls, until a huge burst of flames was blasted out Towards the Grunts, as a boy stepped from the middle of those flames, nothing but a fire in his eyes. Storm: Team Plasma... All the Grunts stared at him, He seemed like someone that would give them a good fight, so they waited for his next move. Storm: I''m about to unleash my rage! He pointed at one of the Grunts and his Tepig went flying towards the grunts. The one that spoke earlier took a step back, and her Servpier went flying towards his Tepig aiming to swallow it whole. But, as its fangs went towards Tepig, Tepig released a huge burst of flames through its snout, blasting the Servpier away as it hit the ground. One of the other Grunts stepped in, and it''s Pawniard slashed at Tepig. Tepig jumped over its hand and sneezed an ember in mid-air. A bolt of lightning fell down on top of Tepig and Tepig came falling down. Storm caught his Tepig before it fell to the ground Did you know this story is from Royal Road?

Finish him! All the Pok¨¦mon charged towards this boy, ready to deliver fatal blows, but a huge beam of energy blasted all their Pok¨¦mon away, knocking them out. ???: Man, that was way too easy! I thought you''d put up more of a fight. The boy looked up at the man talking, and was Completely amazed! It was the Unova Region Champion -- Alder. With his Pok¨¦mon Gigalith. Alder: You put up a good fight out there, Kid. I''m pretty impressed. Storm: No way! Are you really...? Alder? You didn''t have to jump in, I was just about to have my revenge! Alder: Don''t let your anger blind you, child. Your Tepig is hurt. I don''t think it would be able to carry on much longer if Ihadn''t stepped in. Now tell me, what is your name? The hate in his eyes was replaced with sadness, as he looked at his injured Pok¨¦mon in his arms. Storm: Its Storm. Storm Hugh. Alder nodded and looked back towards The Plasma Grunts. Alder: I''ll give you all one chance and one chance only. Leave here at once. The Grunts grinned, and they all ran off along with their Pok¨¦mon. Everyone looked at Alder and clapped, they were happy he stepped in and saved them from releasing their pokemon! Storm stood there holding his Tepig, as he slowly walked away. Stopping next to Alder. Storm: I will get my revenge on Team Plasma, and when I do I''ll be even stronger than you. After sworing that vow, he walked away -- carrying his Tepig in his arms as he wants to become as strong as he can be to completely crush Team Plasma. Chapter 7: Not as normal as you think
After Shiro caught a couple Pok¨¦mon on Route 3, she and Kuro finally arrived in Nacrene City, Here they hope to battle the Nacrene city gym leader -- Lenora. They finally made it to the secret underground chamber of the room where the gym leader lies and waits. Shiro was shinning with energy, as she jumped up and down pumped up while Kuro....was nervous, and shaking. Lerona stared at them from the other side of the room, holding onto her Pok¨¦ball with a smile on her face. Lerona: Both of you against me, correct? Shiro: Yeah! Kuro: Y-Yeah. Ref: Then this will be a 2 vs 1 battle. Once all Pok¨¦mon on either side faints, the battle Is over. Kuro(Thoughts) She''s gotta be a really good trainer..... She''s going to take us both on at once!? Shiro(Thoughts) Alright. We can do this. With Kuro by my side, this fight will be easy. All I have to do is protect whoever he sends out. Kuro pointed at Lenora, and Oshawott jumped down from his shoulder and onto the field. Shiro threw her Pok¨¦ball up, and Snivy came out from it. Then Lenora threw her Pok¨¦ball lightly in the air --- And a huge Pok¨¦mon had made its way out of it, the Pokemon Stoutland. Kuro was intimated and shaking. He wanted to say "Oshawott come back, I don''t know if you could handle that Pok¨¦mon", But Shiro grabbed his hat and moved it up a little --- Making them lock eyes. Shiro: Kuro. It''s going to be okay, We''re working together of course. We can beat her Pok¨¦mon! Kuro started to blush a bit, and he nodded. Staring right into her eyes. He was still scared but he believed in Shiro, and Shiro believed in him. Lenora: Stoutland, Thunder fang! Stoutland opened its mouth and it showed its fangs cloaked in lighting! Scoutland charged at Oshawott. Oshawott tried to grab the Scallop from his chest and back up one step. Before Stoutland could sink its fangs into Oshawott, Snivy used her vines to open Stoutland''s jaw wider, as she tried to keep in in place Lenora: My, My. For such a small Pok¨¦mon, it''s really got some power. Stoutland bit into Snivy''s Vine, and Snivy let out a cry, as Stoutland threw Snivy into a wall by her vine and once that happened Oshawott had jumped above of Stoutland and slammed down in front of Stoutland as it pierced its enemy with his Razor shell, the attack where Oshawott holds his Scallop as if it was the handle of a sword, like a light blue aura emitted from the tip of it. It was his own little sword. Stoutland took a couple of steps back and rammed its head into Oshawott, but Snivy pounded her tail onto Stoutland''s head, as Stoutland''s aim was disturbed, and Stoutland missed entirely. Shiro: Got em''! Lenora: Stoutland, hyper beam on Snivy. A huge beam of energy formed in front of Stoutland''s mouth, as it blasted out towards Snivy. Kuro: W-Water gun o-on Snivy! Oshawott Unleashed a beam of water at Snivy, blasting it away from the beam as it blasted a hole in the wall behind Shiro and Kuro. Shiro: Nice save, Kuro. Snivy, Vine Whip! Stoutland couldn''t attack back as if it was drained from all it''s energy, as Snivy started to whip Stoutland with her vines over and over again. Oshawott ran towards Stoutland and tackled it, But it went inside Stoutland''s fur and quickly ran back out. When Oshawott landed back on the ground, Stoutland Unleashed a thunder fang on Oshawott, then Snivy jumped in front of the attack and was blasted into the wall behind Shiro and Kuro, as they both turned around. Shiro: Snivy! Lenora: Saw that coming. You should really worry about yourself you know. Kuro: Oshawott! Water gun o-on Stout- Lenora: Shadow Ball. Lenora had cut Off Kuro, as Stoutland formed a ball of Dark energy in front of it, and blasted it towards Oshawott. Oshawott took the hit and was thrown in the air and hit the ground hard. As Oshawott struggled to stand up Stoutland charged towards Oshawott and jumped in the air. Lenora: Hyper Beam! Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. A huge beam of energy formed in front of Stoutland''s mouth, as it blasted out towards Oshawott. Shiro: Leaf tornado. A tornado had blown up under Stoutland, blowing it even higher in the air as it blasted the beam at the roof of the gym, creating a huge hole. But the Pok¨¦mon who attacked Stoutland was one never seen before. It was a Pok¨¦mon that is primarily green with a cream underside and narrow red eyes. It has a yellow V-shaped structure that starts at the chest and extends behind the shoulders, it seemed to be Another form of Snivy. This was Servine -- The evolved form of Snivy. Stoutland hit the ground face first, as he stood back up, and Servine slammed Stoutland back down to the ground. Kuro: W-Whoa! W-Where''s Snivy? Shiro: She''s right there. That''s. Her evolved form, Servine. Kuro: C-Cool... Shiro: Now let''s finish this. Kuro: R-Right. Shiro: Leaf Tornado. Kuro: R-Razor shell! Lenora: Hit him with all you got! Servine jumped up, and a huge tornado spiraled up from Stoutland''s feet. Blowing it in the air, and Stoutland unleashed a huge hyper beam at Servine, but Oshawott jumped all the way up to Stoutland and it''s blue aura shaped as the blade of a sword extended and Oshawott slashed Stoutland down in the form of an "X". Stoutland fell to the ground hard -- It was knocked out. Oshawott landed on top of Stoutland and jumped off. Kuro: N-No way....We... Lenora: My, My. Shiro: We won!!! Shiro jumped up and down, full of excitement, as she placed Kuro''s hat back on his head. Kuro smiled a bit and covered his eyes and face with his hat. He was blushing again. He liked seeing Shiro happy, he just didn''t want her to see. Oshawott ran back to Kuro, and jumped towards him, as Kuro held him in his arms. Servine walked next to Shiro, moving her hands around signaling "Calm down!". Shiro stopped jumping and hugged Servine. Kuro: Good work out there, Oshawott. Shiro: You were amazing out there Sniv- Servine. Hehe... Servine smiled, and Oshawott laughed. Everyone was happy. Lenora walked towards them and threw two objects in the air. Lenora: Catch. Oshawott caught one, and Shiro caught the other, as Oshawott handed it to Kuro. Kuro: Badge number two... Shiro: Thanks for the fight, Lenora! Kuro nodded. Oshawott sat on top of Kuro''s head, and Shiro grabbed Kuro''s hand and rushed out, full of happiness and joy. Lenora laughed a little bit. Lenora: That match was quite entertaining, but their teamwork is lacking. If Kuro could depend on himself more and Shiro wouldn''t have to defend him as much, then they would be a good match.
Chapter 8: The Hunts on Roxie: So, you guys are Team Plasma, then? Someone had stepped up towards the Plasma Grunts, with a guitar behind them and a purple and Light blue shirt on that covers her waist. She was the gym leader of Virbank City -- Roxie. Grunt(Male): That''s right! We''re Team Plasma! And pretty soon all Pok¨¦mon will be liberated from humans, and Team Plasma will take over the world! The male grunt spoke, balling his fist as he smirked under his mask, there were also two grunts beside him, one female, and the other one who was also male. Storm: Shut it. Storm had started walking towards them, with a different Pok¨¦mon from last time -- His Tepig had evolved into Pignite. Storm: I don''t want to hear any more of your crap. You guys talk about "Saving" Pok¨¦mon, but you''re just thieves. I can''t stand people like you. Grunt(Female): What a pain. Grunt(Male): Let''s just take him out already! The Grunts sent out their Pok¨¦mon As Pignite rolled into all of them, scattering them across the area -- Then Sizzling them into a burst of heat. They all fainted Grunt(Male): That was fast. Grunt(Female) L-Let''s get out of here! They all rushed past Roxie and Storm, and Storm chased after them. Roxie grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. Storm: Let me go! Roxie: Calm down, or I''ll have to knock some sense into you! They''re gone now, Why do you hafta keep after em''? Storm: You don''t understand...I have to go after them! So I can get my Sister''s Pok¨¦mon back! He pulled himself away from her grip and ran off. Roxie just reached her hand out and balled her fist -- As she walked in the opposing direction. Roxie: Sheesh, that kid must not get much attention at home. Storm had made his way into Route 20, as he looked around -- full of rage as he searched to where Team Plasma might be. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Storm: Hey! You damn Team Plasma trash!" She pressed a button on the drone in her ear, and glared at Storm, as she got her Pok¨¦mon ready for battle. Storm: Pignite, Rollout! Pignite jumped up, and rolled into a ball, as he went rolling towards Isaki, she jumped over it and landed in front of Storm, staring him down as she bent over making their eyes lock. She said with a sly grin as she kissed Storm''s cheek and walked off. Storm: P-P-Pignite Rollout! Pignite rolled towards her, but then a dark slash of energy blasted Pignite back towards Storm -- he couldn''t tell what Pok¨¦mon that was, or if it was a Pok¨¦mon at all, because the moment he looked away she was gone. Storm placed his arm behind Pignite''s back lifting Pignite up, touching his cheek with his other hand and blushing madly. Storm: G-Great! The First girl outside my family to kiss me is part of the team I hate so much!! I''m gonna kick her ass....! Storm walked back to Virbank with his hands in his pocket and his Pignite in his Pok¨¦ball, he headed towards the dock with not as much urgency as before. Storm: Damn it...She got me, I can''t believe I let her slip away from me that easily...! Team Plasma...What a bunch of sneaky bastards. As he was walking, he stopped. He saw something that looked kinda odd. It was Roxie, Talking to some man. Roxie:Yo Old man, I think you good? The man had a blank reaction. Roxie''s Father: My movie shoot. . .That move was. . .No, it wasn''t a movie. It was me. I was so excited that I didn''t really become Riolu-Man! Acting like that won''t thrill or excite anyone..." Roxie: Haha! Oh C''mon, don''t get yourself down, I thought your movie was pretty good! You can keep on trying while you''re being a captain! Just do some Multi-tasking. As long as you don''t cause any more trouble, I won''t get mad at you. I don''t know how the people of Pok¨¦star Studios would feel about that, though. Roxie turned around and jumped a little. She was surprised to see Storm, he looked at her and silently waved. Storm: Did I interrupt you guys? Roxie: Oh! Did you hear us...? Everyone from Team Plasma ran away. I don''t feel really good about it, but at least they''re gone. There was a lot of ruckus, but you can sail to Castelia city now! Storm: Thanks, Roxie. She placed her hands her pocket and walked away -- waving at both Storm and the man she was talking to. Roxie''s Father: Yes, I''ll do my best as a captain! Just as my beloved daughter said. I''ll excite everyone by barreling through tough waves! The man walked inside, as Storm followed. He slammed his hand on the counter staring at the man he saw outside. Storm: Take me to Castelia city! The man nodded, he tilted his hat and opened the door to which one would enter to travel onto the boat, Him and Storm walked out towards the boat and went inside -- the boat was ready to sail, as they both took off -- To Castelia City. Storm(Thoughts) This is it...I''ll take down Team Plasma, I swear it. Chapter 9: Reconsider Kuro and Shiro made their way into pinwheel forest, Shiro started to catch as many Pok¨¦mon as she could to fill up the Pok¨¦dex, Kuro stood behind her the whole way, she giggled a bit, as she scrolled down the Pok¨¦dex -- It shaped pictures, and the data of all the Pok¨¦mon She caught. Shiro: Awesome! I caught a Pidove, Sewaddle, Venipede, Cottonee, and Petilil! Kuro: G-Good work, Shiro. Shiro: Thank you, Kuro! Hm, hey...Kuro. How about we catch you a Pok¨¦mon? Kuro would glance over towards Shiro, shaking his head left and right as he would scratch his hair. Kuro: I-I don''t know Shiro...I don''t know if a Pok¨¦mon will stick with me.... Shiro: Nonsense, don''t worry -- I won''t let Team Plasma get ahold of your Pok¨¦mon again! Give it a try, I think there''s a couple of Pok¨¦mon that can be an excellent addition to your team! Kuro: I....if you say so. Shiro: Perfect! Now, your Oshawott is a water type, your Pansage is a grass type....hm, Pansage covers Oshawott''s weaknesses, let''s get you a poison type! I think we shouldget you a Venipede. Venipede is strong against your Pansage. You''ll have a poison AND Bug-type, a water type, and a grass type! Kuro: A-Alright, I''ll do my best. Shiro: Perfect, now get out your Oshawott, we''re going to search for a Venipede! As Shiro said the word "Venipede", a large screeching noise could be heard from the grass, and a Venipede popped out and yelled at them once more, Kuro shrieked and jumped, and Shiro laughed, placing one hand on her hip as she stared down the Venipede. Shiro: Alright, Kuro now''s your chance -- to get that Venipede! Kuro: G-Go, Oshawott! Oshawott hopped off Kuro''s shoulder and laughed! Oshawott''s laughter would be cut short, however, as the Venipede''s tall would glow a light purple color and it slammed into Oshawott. Oshawott would collapse, and backflip back on its feet, as it glared the opposing Pok¨¦mon down. Kuro: O-Oshawott, Razor shell! Oshawott would remove the scalchop from its chest and the scalchop turned into a handle! As a light blue blade would erect from the top of the scalchop and Oshawott charged towards the Venipede and slashed at it; the Venipede would collapse, and Shiro rushed towards Kuro -- grabbing his arm and pulling it back towards her as she dropped a Pok¨¦ball in the palm of his hand, throwing his arm back as the Pok¨¦ball in his grip would go flying towards the Venipede, and Venipede would become absorbed inside of it.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. One Shake . . . Two Shakes . . . Three Shakes . . . Capture completed! Kuro: Y-you caught it! Shiro: No Kuro; you caught it. Good job, buddy! Shiro would spin in front of Kuro, placing her hands behind her back as she gave Kuro a warm smile. Kuro couldn''t help but blush! A streak of red would go across his face and he covered his face in embarrassment. Shiro laughed, patting Kuro''s head as she would go to the Venipede, and place the Pok¨¦ball inside of Kuro''s pocket. Kuro would remove his hands from his face, looking at Shiro as she winked, and began to walk off. Shiro: Come on, let''s keep on exploring the forest! After going through a couple of tunnel tubes made of large chunks of trees, then they would arrive in an empty area which held only one man, Kuro was able to recognize this person -- because he saw them at the liberation speech back in Accumula town, it was N, he seemed to be communicating with two small fox-like Pok¨¦mon called Zoura(s). N: Don''t worry, I''ll see you all soon. Some Team Plasma grunts will come to send you to a small home in Driftveil City. N: No, no, no. Not those Plasma grunts, they true members of Team Plasma. Yes, I promise. N would nod, as he would stand up tall and turn around and nearly shocked to see Kuro and Shiro behind him. He didn''t lose his cool or show any signs of being surprised or startled. N: Kuro....we meet again, I see. Kuro: H-Hello....N... Shiro looked at Kuro, then would look towards N. Raising an eyebrow as she was in need of some answers. Shiro: Eh? You guys know each other? Kuro: meet him in Accumula town. N: Kuro....have you liberated any of your Pok¨¦mon since we''ve last met? How is your bond with Oshawott? Kuro: N-No...they were liberated for me, but me and Osahwott are happy with each other! Shiro: Liberation....? Are you telling me......N. Are you a member of Team Plasma? Shiro would glare down N, giving off a bad vibe that even terrified Kuro, he could feel the newfound negative energy pouring out of Shiro ever since she said the words "Team Plasma". N could also feel it too, looking at Shiro would lifeless eyes, as he shook his head left and right. N: There are two kinds of people within an organization. Those who embrace the true meaning of why the organization was created, and those who ruin its image. Team Plasma is not an evil group, but rather those who simply want people to reconsider the bond and connection of the Pok¨¦mon they have if what they''re doing is a benefit for both the trainer and Pok¨¦mon. I am not along with those members of Team Plasma, I am a member of the true Team Plasma. Shiro: The true Team Plasma...what are you talking about? Grunts: Lord N! We have arrived! As Shiro asked her question, two grunts would appear, and Shiro would quickly turn towards them as she pushed Kuro behind her. Kuro would turn towards N, and look at the grunts, as he would watch Shiro. N: I thank you for your time, please, send these Zouras to Driftvel city. Grunt(Male): Sir yes sir! The two grunts would run past Shiro and Kuro, as one grunt, the female, would pat Zoura''s head, and the male grunt would smile at it. Grunt(Male) Don''t worry Zoura, you''ll see Lord N again soon. The grunts would run off, again, not paying any mind to Kuro or Shiro. N: Those Pokemon were abandoned here by their trainer. The trainer tried to make them breed with each other but didn''t realize they were both the same gender, and in rage...he abandoned them here. Some people are so heartless to their pokemon..and foolish with their decisions. N said before he walked away, leaving behind Kuro and Shiro N: Goodbye, Shiro and Kuro. May you not become an enemy of mine. Chapter 10: A Confrontation Shiro and Kuro: Whoooooa! They looked down on the ocean, and looked up at the beautiful evening sky -- Everything around them was colorful and eye-catching! They couldn''t even begin to express themselves! As Shiro kept running around, just looking for even more greater sights, Kuro saw a boat -- and he was able to see that there was some kind of person, sitting on the deck of the boat -- watching the waves. He would look at the person, and the person would stare back -- despite their distance apart, they locked eyes. Kuro: Who. . .Is that? Kuro just ignored, and finally caught up with Shiro -- As they both ran down the Skyarrow Bridge.
One of the sea''s of Unova Storm crossed his arms, setting near the edge of the dock of the boat as he looked ahead, watching the skyscrapers of Castelia City''s buildings. Storm: ...Isaki was her name...I hate her. As he was pondering his mind on that Grunt he had an issue with earlier, he would look up and see someone gazing down him down from on the Skyarrow bridge. As they locked eyes, despite their distance apart. Storm:...The hell is that kid looking at? If it''s me, I''m punching him if I ever meet him. His boat finally arrived towards a new dock, and he was ready to set off once more. He walked off the boat, and looked around, he was at Castelia City''s Dock. Storm: So this is Castelia City. . .Huh? Storm looked around, and he saw an odd-looking boat, it looked like an old sailboat in the times of Vikings. Storm: What the hell is a sailing ship doing here? Some people never learn do they. He heard a snicker and turned around towards its direction, and he saw it was a Team Plasma Grunt! Grunt: Hehe. . .Time for me to steal more Pok¨¦mon!Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. Storm: TEAM PLASMA. IM GOING TO TAKE YOU DOWN. Grunt: I-I mean liberate! I MUST LIBERATE POKEMON SOMEWHERE ELSE. Storm ran towards the Grunt, but the Grunt ran away, with Storm chasing after him.
Castelia City After crossing the Skyarrow bridge, Kuro and Shiro finally arrived in Castelia City. Kuro: W-We''re here, Castelia City! Shiro: This is the second biggest city in all of Unova, did you know that? Kuro: Second!? What''s bigger than Castelia?? Shiro: Nimbasa!! Nimbasa is soo beautiful and I can''t wait to go there! The both of them kept walking, then they saw a Team Plasma Grunt being chased by a boy -- then Kuro jumped a bit. Kuro(Thoughts) That''s the same boy I saw on the boat. . . Shiro: That''s right, chase em'' outta the city. Hey Kuro, C''mon. Kuro: O-Oh, Okay. The Two Friends made their way towards the Gym, but when they got there, however, there was someone standing in front of the gym, he seemed to be blocking the entrance. Kuro: E-Excuse me, sir, Could you let us in? Shiro: We wanna fight the Gym Leader! Claude: Sorry, But he isn''t here right now. He''s out dealing with Team Plasma... Shiro: Team Plasma...always causing trouble. Then, Kuro jumped and he pointed at the end of the Prior Kuro: Shiro! There''s three Team Plasma Grunts! Shiro turned towards Kuro''s direction, and there were three more Plasma Grunts. Shiro: There''s three more right there too. . . Kuro: S-Shiro, Let''s split up! I''ll take the ones on the Northside, you take the ones on the South! Oshawott jumped onto Kuro''s hat, and Shiro sent out her Servine from its Pok¨¦ball, and she stared at Kuro with worried eyes, and she was thinking about was happened last time when they had split up to deal with Team Plasma. Shiro: Kuro. . .I"m not sure if leaving you with them is a good idea. . .I don''t want to see you hurt again... Kuro: W-we have no choice, We''ve gotta stop them and this will be the quickest way. . .I''ll be fine, don''t worry. Shiro''s eyes widened, looking at Kuro''s eyes, and seeing the determination he was letting out. He did stutter, but he wasn''t showing any signs of fear. She hugged Kuro tight for a few seconds, this was her way of saying "Don''t be reckless", and she ran off towards the South, while Kuro headed upwards, to confront the Plasma Grunts. Then right across the street from the building of the gym stood Plasma grunts -- laughing. Grunt(Male): Haha! They were talking about all the Grunts around the city and didn''t see the ones right behind them! Arceus, that''s funny. Chapter 11: Your Truth, My Ideals; Kuro Vs Ghetsis! Kuro chased the Plasma grunts on the Southside, they ran him out of the Prior and he was taken to an open field where all the Prior''s end lead towards, the outskirts end of Castelia City. There, he saw a fountain in the center of the area, with a bench to It''s left, and two vending machines to the north of it. Kuro looked around, but the grunts were nowhere to be seen. Above him, he heard a cry..a cry of a Pokemon he had never seen. When he looked up, it was a Pokemon known by the name of Absol. Absol seemed to cry as it stared Kuro dead in the eyes, and before Kuro knew it...Absol vanished. Then he heard of the sound of a cane hitting the ground. "Clink, Clink, Clink." Kuro and Oshawott glared towards that direction, and Kuro started to get scared, just a little. Then, the one who stood several feet in front of him was Ghetsis. Ghetsis: Tell me, child...are you familiar with the legend of the founding of the Unova Region? Kuro shook his head left and right, and Oshawott did too. Kuro: N-No... Ghetsis grinned a little bit, and he had let go of his cane as it remained standing tall on the ground. Ghetsis: Before there were two, there was one..The Original Dragon. This Dragon was a being of power, knowledge, and enlightenment. It shared it''s knowledge and bared its fangs at those who stood against it.When the two heroes combined their forces and worked together to work alongside this Dragon...they controlled Unova, gaining the hearts of the people and creating the region we know as Unova. Kuro(Thoughts) A single Pok¨¦mon...Created an entire region!? Ghetsis laughed, as he revealed one arm hidden beneath his cloak. Ghetsis: But...there was one fatal flaw. The struggle for power! The brothers always fought with each other, trying to best one another to gain the power of the dragon. One brother believed that the Dragon was evil and would destroy the world and tried to get it under his control, and the other brother believed the Dragon was a gift from God..Arceus itself, and that they should learn to live in peace with it. Their truths and ideals clashed, causing the dragon to spilt into the two Dragons we know today...Tell me trainer, which brother do you follow? The one who believes that Pokemon should be controlled or the one who said they should live in peace with humans.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Kuro would begin to think about it for a minute, hugging Oshawott as he looked down at his Pok¨¦mon, seeing that Oshawott would look at Ghetsis, not looking at Kuro at all. Kuro: I...I want Pok¨¦mon to stay with people in peace.... Ghetsis slowly grabbed a Pok¨¦ball hidden beneath his cloak, and pressed the white button on the center of it -- As a huge Black and Blue dragon with three heads roared behind him as he was unleashed from the Pok¨¦ball. It was a Hydreigon; sighing at Kuro''s response Ghetsis pointed at Kuro, and Hydreigon rushed towards Kuro. Kuro started to run away, and Oshawott jumped off his head and released a pulse of water at Hydreigon! Hydreigon took the hit, and slowed down just a bit. Kuro threw his Pok¨¦ball on the ground, and his Pansage popped out. Oshawott landed next to Pansage and they were ready to fight. Kuro ran back towards the both of them. Ghetsis: Tri-Attack! Three sphere''s formed in front of the Hydreigon''s heads, and they seemed to take the form of a triangle without lines. One set of sphere''s were red, the other light blue, and the last one yellow -- They launched the attacks at Kuro, Pansage, and Oshawott! The three took the hits and fell down, Kuro stood up, but he let a faint cry of pain, and grabbed his arm. . . He was hit with electricity, Oshawott was frozen, and Pansage was burned. Oshawott soon thawed out, and started panting. Ghetsis watched the three of them suffer with a grin. Ghetsis started walking towards the three of them, and Hydreigon went and slammed it''s tail down on top of Pansage''s head, and shoved Pansage into the ground! Oshawott jumped towards Hydreigon, and Hydreigon knocked Oshawott back with its head. Kuro''s Pok¨¦mon were defeated, and Kuro tried to yell out Oshawott''s name, but a shock of electricity went through his body, and he fell down holding his arm. He looked up at Ghetsis, and trembled, he was scared for his life. . . What''s going to happen to Kuro now? Hydreigonroared around in what seemed to be agonybehind Ghetsis, asGhetsis laughed. Ghetsis: Is this what you meant by saying that ''you want Pok¨¦mon to stay with people'' If that''s so, then look at what it''s brought to both you and your Pok¨¦mon, nothing but a world of pain! Ghetsis laughed, as his Hydreigon Unleashed a gigantic beam of dragon energy at Kuro! Kuro was blasted into the side of a building, and he too was knocked out. Ghetsis walked away. Chapter 12: A strike against team Plasma
Shiro ran off in the opposite direction, as she ran out the pior, and ran in front of the Pok¨¦mon center and stopped for a bit to catch her breath Shiro(Thoughts) Kuro. . .I hope you''re okay. She stood up straight and ran straight towards the exist Gate of Skyarrow Bridge, then she saw an alleyway Shiro: That''s where they went, huh?" She ran towards the entrance of those Sewers, but once she came down the steps -- She saw two people in front of her. One of those individuals happened to be Storm, with the other being a girl with has purple hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. She wore a cream-colored top with a pink collar and cuffs, a pink skirt with a big ribbon, white leggings which are colored yellow at the ends of the legs and pink and white shoes with yellow straps, they both stared at the entrance of the sewers which was at a diagonal right cut in front to the side of them. Iris: Here it is; if you mention a suspicious place here in Castelia City, the only places that come to mind are narrow street and here! Storm: Thanks, Iris. Storm ran down the stairs and ran into the Sewers, and Shiro nodded and ran right in after him.
Castelia Sewers Iris watched as Storm went inside the Sewers -- and Shiro followed after him. Storm turned around towards Shiro and glared her down, she just waved. Storm: . .What are you doing here?" Shiro: Hey C''mon, don''t be that way! I''m just trynna take down Team Plasma, same as you right? Storm: . .Yea, Same as me." Shrio: Then let''s work together, a small alliance, after this we can go our separate ways. Sound good mister mad mad? Storm: My name is Storm, Storm Hugh. Shiro: Oooh. Name''s bond; James bond. Storm would look towards Shiro with a disappointed look but Shiro could help but giggle. Shiro: Just kidding! My name is Shiro, Shiro Veritas. A pleasure to meet you Stor- Storm: You and your Pok¨¦mon better not be weak. . . He started to walk on ahead with his hands in his pockets, and Shiro followed right behind him. stood still before following behind him. Shiro(Mumbling): Sheesh...meany pants. They were on an elevated surface, with the lower surface flooded in water. The two walked along one of the bridge''s that helped them get from one side to another and walked to the left. They kept going until they spotted two Team Plasma Grunts to their right. Storm: HEY. The Grunts jumped and pulled out two Pok¨¦balls from behind them Grunt 1: Um..can we help you? Storm: Team Plasma, You Villains!! Grunt 2: What? Don''t calls us Villains! And don''t interfere with us, we plan to liberate some more Pokemon. Storm: Liberate Pok¨¦mon? Ha! You''re just ordinary Pok¨¦mon thieves! And what''s more, you use those stolen Pok¨¦mon like they''re tools! Grunt 1: Shaddup! Just hand over your Pok¨¦mon! Storm looked at Shiro, and she stared back with a grin, as they both would speak at the same time. Shiro: I''m ready. They both threw out two Krokorok''s, as their Pok¨¦mon slammed down on the battlefield, Storm sent out a Pignite, and Shiro sent out her Servine. Shiro: Servine, Leaf Tornado! Storm: Pignite, flame charge! Servine jumped in the air, and a tornado o leaves spiraled out from one of the Krokorkok''s feet, and blowing them into the air, then back on the ground -- and Pignite was cloaked in flames, and it bashed its self into The other Krokorkok, the Krokorkok''s were knocked out with one hit, and were sent back in their pok¨¦balls. Grunt 1: Damn it, this Pok¨¦mon is useless! Grunt 2: Let''s retreat! They both ran away, Storm was about to go after them, but Shiro placed her hand on his shoulder and shook her head left to right. Shiro: Let them go. . . Actually, There''s a place I wanna go to! Storm: . . . Where''s that?
Castelia City They walked up a staircase, and from there, they arrived in a small area with a patch of grass shaped like a Pok¨¦ball, one side was light green and the other side was dark green, with a tree in the center of it. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Storm: . . .? Shiro: This is said to be where Castelia City first started! Storm: . . .That sounds dumb. Then, something came out from the dark patch of grass. Small with a fur coat under its neck, with tan skin and ears like a rabbit''s. It was an Eevee. Shiro threw a Pok¨¦ball at it, and Eevee was absorbed into it. One shake . . . two shakes . . . three shakes . . . Captured. Shiro: Yes! I wanted to add this one to my team! Storm: An Eevee. . .? Shiro: Yup! I should stay here and collect some more data for my Pok¨¦dex! Storm sighed, and walked towards the staircase that brought them here Storm: Eevee is trash..and you can do that. I''m going to look for Team Plasma." Storm started walking down the stairs, but Shiro jumped on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck with a sinister grin on her face Storm: . . . Shiro: You can''t escape me, mister!
Castelia City They both arrived back in the huge and majestic Castelia City and Storm started to think hard, as Shiro carried Eevee on her shoulder and poked its nose, Eevee jumped on her head, and they both started to laugh. Storm(Thoughts): We''ve already searched the whole city for these Grunts...where is somewhere we haven''t gone...somewhere obvious yet unnoticed... Storm: That''s it! Shiro: Hm? Storm grabbed Shiro''s hand and rushed off to the Prior where the gym was, then he rushed towards the gym, then right across the street -- he laid his sights on some Team Plasma grunts, as he turned towards Shiro. Storm: Heads up, I''m about to unleash my rage. Shiro: Um, okay. Grunt 1: There''s nothing inside of this building, not a single soul! The Grunt was punched in his face, as Storm picked him off by his shirt and threw him on the ground inside of the building. Storm stomped inside with Shiro right behind him. Then there was a man in the center of the room with Plasma Grunts on both sides of him, he yawned. The man had short white hair and a purple hat along with a long purple coat with the Plasma symbol in the center of it. Grunt: B-Bronius! Bronius: I thought it would be entertaining to have a base of operation in front of a Gym, but it turns we were detected much quicker than expected. Bronius sighed, and he started to walk towards the door. Bronius: We''ll be on our way. Storm: Hell no, you guys aren''t going anywhere! Shiro pulled Storm her, allowing the Grunts, and Bronius a clear way out, Bronius looked at Storm with a grin, and Storm glared back. Storm: What the hell!? I could have taken him down. Shiro: Relax, our job here is done. We drove them out of the city, now come on. . . . We need to find Kuro.
Chapter 13: Liberation from the Iron Fist Kuro was down and out, unable to move after he and his Pok¨¦mon were completely taken out by Ghetsis. His strength was like that of a tyrant, an Oni; just destroying everything in its path. A female from up top of a building would watch Kuro, knocked out on the ground. She would sigh, as she jumped down from above with her Pok¨¦mon beside her, the Pok¨¦mon of disasters, Absol. Kuro''s Oshawott would struggle to stand, and the female would walk over towards Oshawott, patting its head as she smiled, and Oshawott fell on its bottom. ???: Your trainer....put you through all of that pain and suffering, didn''t he? I''m sorry you had to suffer through that....Pok¨¦mon....fighting for their trainers...what do they gain? What must they accomplish...I don''t truly understand, this is wrong...Come now, Pok¨¦mon, I will heal you. The girl would use these small stones called "Revives", to half-way restore the health of Kuro''s fallen Pok¨¦mon. Soon after the revives were consumed by the Pok¨¦mon, Oshawott and Pansage would stand back on their feet, then immediately -- crushing the Pok¨¦balls the Pok¨¦mon were once confined inside of. Pansage and Venipede would look up towards the girl and gasp. Osahwott would do the same, as she looked at the three of them with a smile. ???: You are all free, free from the Iron fist of your trainer. The Pansage would look up towards the female, as the Pansage and Venipede would run away, Oshawott still stood in place, looking up at the girl, then a strange voice came from afarDid you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. ???(Male): Ah, it seems as if this little guy doesn''t want to leave! It was the voice of a man, a man with blonde hair and wears a blue cowlick around his head, has yellow eyes and wears glasses, wears a long white lab coat, a pair of white gloves and a black uniform with blue outlines, and also black shoes. He held a sort of tablet in his hands, as the female looked at him with an unpleasant grin. Lungo: Colress.... Colress: Iungo." Lungo, the girl who had just liberated the Pok¨¦mon in Kuro''s possession, Colress laughed, stopping his movement as he looked over towards Lungo. Colress: Now, Iungo; let me pose an argument against you -- about People using Pok¨¦mon as weapons, or tools. For instance, take this Oshawott for example, it possesses a stronger bond with its trainer. A strong bond than creatures of its same species, It seems as if he does not want to leave his trainer because he cares for his trainer! If all people use Pok¨¦mon for their amusement, then this Pok¨¦mon should''ve scurried off along with the other two but there''s an obvious bond between this Oshawott and its trainer. Lungo: There may be some hidden gems out there...but that doesn''t mean the vast majority is all kind-hearted to their Pok¨¦mon in any way. Like those scums of Team Plasma...runing the image of my lord N... Shiro: HEY, GET AWAY FROM HIM. Storm: Pignite, rollout! "he cries of Storm and White echoed through the ears of Iungo and Colress, as her Absol glared the Pignite down, as Pignite curled into a ball, and Absol would slash at Pignite, and causing it to spring out and fall down Lungo: Thank you...Absol. You trainers, using your Pok¨¦mon for your own desires. I...will liberate your Pok¨¦mon, so you experience the suffering you''ve forced them through! Chapter 14: What are we fighting for? Lungo: Now tell me...what are you fighting for? Why do you have your Pokemon fight until they can no longer stand? Storm: Why do I make them fight!? I have my Pokemon fight because we''re working towards a common goal. Shiro would glare at Lungo, as Lungo''s attention stayed focus on Storm, and then Shiro would avert her eyes to Colress, and Colress would watch everyone on the field. She sighed, as she would then kneel down to lightly shake Kuro around, he hasn''t responded to her. Shiro would clutch her fist, as she would lightly tug Storm''s shoulder, not facing him. Storm: What''s the matter, Shiro? Shiro: We need to get out of here...we need to get Kuro help. Storm: We need to get revenge, for Kuro! She did this to him. Shiro: No, Storm...she didn''t. Her absol wouldn''t be able to do this much harm to him. Some other Pokemon did this... Colress: Hmm...? I think they plan to retreat. Colress would walk towards the three children, as Lungo would continue to stare them all down, and Pignite would walk back to stand in front of Storm, as it would keep its eyes on Absol. Colress: Don''t worry, this child will be fine. He''s just unconcious. Storm: He looks a lot more than unconcious... Lungo: Team Plasma...they are unforgiving. You may have only fought grunts...but there''s a lot more to Team Plasma....a member of Team Plasma...did this to your friend over there. If you know what''s best for you...you''d stop messing with them.Stolen story; please report. Storm: Hey.....you, with the coat. Can you...step out of the way? Colress would then step out of the way, and Storm would grin a little. Storm: Thanks. Pignite, flamethrower! Pignite would nod, snorting smoke out from its nose as a beam of flames soon ignited out from its nose, and it all went to Absol. Lungo: Protect. A light mirror like shield would flash in front of Absol, causing the flames to spilt into two different directions on both of Absol''s side, missing the Pokemon completely. Colress would look towards Storm, as Storm grinned, and Shiro looked at him with a sad expression. Storm: You must think Kuro and I are in the same boat. Kuro may not be able to stand toe-to-toe with any of you, but I''ll tear you all apart. Colress(thoughts): This boy...his Pignite, they seem to have a strong bond. Will this increase the Pignite''s power? Or perphas trainers bringing out the power of Pokemon in such odd ways isn''t true? Lungo: Absol, Psycho cut. Storm: Pignite, Rollout! Pignite would soon roll towards Absol in a ballshaped format, as it would blitz the Absol and knock it down, as Pignite bounced out its ballshape and smiled, and Storm would place a grin on his face. Storm: Now, Flamethrower! Pignite would then unleash a beam of flames from its nostrols once again as it landed a hit on the Absol, as it seemed to be much hotter than before. Storm: You all don''t know who you''re dealing with. My name is Storm, and I will take Team Plasma down -- this is why me and Pignite fight, and that''s why we''ll never stop messing with Team Plasma until I crush them all! Storm would then towards Shiro, as he grabbed Kuro and swung him onto his back, as he carried Kuro and began making his escape -- as Pignite laughed and hopped after its trainer. Shiro would stand after Pignite passed her by, and he ran after them -- and soon, they were all gone. Her absol would slightly struggle to stand back up, as Lungo clutched her fist, holding in her anger as she unleashed a cry of defeat. Lungo: You arrogant brat....using your Pokemon for your own selfish goals....You don''t deserve to have a Pokemon....! Colress: Aha! Did you see that, Lungo? That Pignite''s flames grew stronger once it jumped back into the fight! Could it have been its Blaze ability? I don''t think so...this is helping my research going further! Now, I''ll see you around. Volume 2, Chapter 15: The Song Of Healing Storm and Shiro would find themselves within one of the many ally ways of Castellia. As Storm would drop Kuro off and set his back against the wall. Shiro would kneel down, as she placed her hand on his cheek, and shaking him a little just to get him to wake up. Kuro would eventually open his eyes, as a wide smile would make its way across Shiro''s face, as she would give Kuro a hug. Storm simply laughed, as he took a step back. Storm: She was so worried about you, kid. I just want to know how you possibly got beaten up badly by Team Plasma! The Grunts are the worst trainers I''ve ever seen! Kuro: I didn''t fight just any Team Plasma member...It was their leader, his name was...Ghetsis. The cockiness is Storm''s entire vibe molded into rage, as he looked at Kuro with intent to kill, Shiro would glare at Storm, holding Kuro closer as she would shake her head left and right. Shiro: . . . Storm: Ghetsis...I hate that man with a passion, he''s the sole reason why I hate Team Plasma, I can''t wait until I cross paths with him again...! I''ll give that man hell! I''ll ki- Storm was walking around as he was talking, as his hands were balled in a fist, he would begin walking backward, and eventually, a man had popped out from the garbage dump he was walking by, as the man startled Storm and Kuro with a loud "Where did I put my sunglasses?!" Storm: What the hell man!? Why are you just standing behind a dumpster!? Storm would yell at the man who put his sunglasses back on, as he stuck up the thumbs up at Storm: Man: Ah. I found them, and you really need more light to see your way by. Storm: What are you talking about- The man would smile, as he pulled out a disk from his pocket, and handed it to Storm Storm: What the fuck do I do with this? Man: It''s the TM for Flash! Use it so you can see in dark places more!Stolen novel; please report. Storm: How do I use this?? Does my Pignite have to eat it or something? The man wouldn''t answer Storm, as he would just walk away. Shiro sighed, as she helped Kuro up -- and across from Storm, she could see the entrance to a bar, as she would smile and head towards it, Kuro would follow behind her. Storm: What are you guys doing? Shiro: I''m going to sit down in this bar right here, come along if you want. Storm: Nope, this is where I leave you guys, me and Pignite have a goal to accomplish. Later kid, take care of boyfriend I guess. Shiro would blush, as she shook her head left and right, as she would push herself into the bar, Kuro and Storm would just stare at each other before Storm took off, but not before he shook his head at Kuro. Now, the two are within a small bar -- with a very few people, as they saw a man in the center with his guitar, laughing as he was talking to some girl. Girl: My God Mr.Rhapsody, you are just so good at the guitar. You can honestly just play for me all day I would sit here and listen!! Xavier Rhapsody: Haha, you''re so sweet, Darling. And you don''t have to call me "Mr.Rhapsody", just Xavier is fine. The male spoke, as his hair was locked in dreads, and he wore what seemed to be a tie on his forehead. Xavier Rhapsody: But..that scent you brought me, reminded me of an almost long-lost melody from my childhood. It brought me back to the time when I would sit outside, as my mother would sing such a lovely song, she sounded like an angel. Makes me feel nostalgic. You wanna hear it? Girl: I would love to! The girl said, as she sat next to him fiddling her fingers and patting her little Lillipup; and with that, the boy would play his guitar. He was a master, he didn''t play too loud, or too soft, and what he was playing was simply breathtaking. A strange, and outer worldly, but an enchanting and soothing piece, one that sounded as if it were an ancient lullaby. Shiro and Kuro were awestruck by the song the boy was playing, as they were both mesmerized. A small pokemon would come out of the depths of its confinement, a pokemon by the name of Melotta. Melotta danced around the room, spinning and floating higher above the ground, making this unforgettable and a magical moment, as the pokemon would make eye contact with Kuro. Kuro stared back, with eyes that looked as if he had just found Santa Claus, as the pokemon would smile, and it would fade away from the Human eye. Everyone within the bar clapped, as he would laugh, and the girl would kiss him. Xavier Rhapsody: Thank you, thank you..! And thanks for coming out, Melotta. The boy began playing again, and Kuro and Shiro sat back -- listening. Kuro used the music as a sort of healing, as Oshawott had fallen asleep on his head, as Kuro would stare and watch how the boy played his guitar, and Shiro would close her eyes, as she rested against Kuro''s shoulder, wrapping her arms around him. Kuro felt at ease, as he saw the peace in the room. the peace of the boy playimg, as melotta would show itself ocasionally, and the peace between the girl and her Lillipup, and the peace he has between him Oshawott and Shiro -- he wants to show this peacfulness to the rest of Team Plasma, and though it may be a rough road for Kuro, he is determined to overcome it, he just needs to get stronger. Volume 2, Chapter 16: A Sign Of Victory Shiro and Kuro roam around the bustling streets of Castelia City, as Shiro was in a fantastic mood from the music that was playing earlier, Kuro adrift in thought. Shiro would eventually notice the blank stare Kuro had, as she would stop walking, and spin in front of him, as he would snap out of his daze, and she would tilt her head a tad bit. Shiro: Something on your mind, Kuro? Kuro: Yeah. . . Shiro would grab Kuro¡¯s hand, as she took one step closer to him -- looking at him as she would stare into his eyes, Kuro would become flustered, as he would hold his hand down to hide his face, as the two walked beside each other once again. Shiro: I¡¯m going to go battle the City gym leader. Are you going to come with me? Kuro: Actually Shiro, I want to be alone for a bit... Hearing these words sadden Shiro, as the look of worry and despair was all over her face, as she squeezed his hand tighter. Shiro: What¡¯s wrong...? Kuro: I just need to think about some things..about my adventure, about what I¡¯m really doing out here...you know? It feels every time I make progress; I lose everything I¡¯ve done. There is something I¡¯m doing wrong, and I can¡¯t really think about it around trainers, or really Pok¨¦mon so I. want to walk around. Shiro: Oh, all right then Kuro! I can leave you to that, but just know that you¡¯re an amazing trainer Kuro. Sure, you may be a bit shy, and scared, but I can tell you have a good heart, I feel like its one reason Osahwott has stuck by your side despite it having its Pok¨¦mon destroyed. You have to be able to stand on your own two feet more. You know? Kuro: Yeah... I get you... Shiro: Okay then, Kuro... Shiro would give Kuro a hug, as when he wrapped his arms back around her she would giggle, and she rested her head on his shoulder. Kuro would blush, and he would shake a little, this made Shiro laugh a little more. Shiro: Haha...like, right now. Don¡¯t be scared, Kuro. She would remove her head from his shoulder, as she would stare at Kuro with the warmest and most loving smile, as her eyes just pierced his soul, her soft hands placed on both of his cheeks, as she stared at him, and he couldn¡¯t help but stare back, mesmerized -- as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Shiro: You got this, Kuro. You¡¯re coming back to me when you¡¯re done, right? Kuro: Y-Yes! Yes, of course, Shiro! Kuro didn¡¯t even think before he responded, hypnotized by the look she was giving him, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to say anything that would take that look away, as her smile widened and his heart melted, and with that she ran off -- Kuro would hold his chest, as he felt a hard pounding, and his face was red. He had felt embarrassed before, but nothing like this. He wasn¡¯t scared, and he wasn¡¯t so much embarrassed; he couldn¡¯t put his finger on what this feeling was. He would embark on his short personal journey, as he stalked the city streets thinking to himself. In due time he would find himself at the dock where ships come and go, he saw one ship in particular that caught his eye, as it was golden and white. A strange but pleasing color combination that Kuro hadn¡¯t seen before. N: Hey, it¡¯s been awhile. A shiver went straight down Kuro¡¯s spine, as he would run away, and hide behind one bench at the dock, peering his head out from behind the bench as he saw it was just N. He would stand back up, and walk back towards N, scratching his head. Kuro: O-Oh, Hi N...I knew it was you... N would laugh under his breath, as something about Kuro caught his eye. The last time. Kuro had at least three pokemon underneath his belt; now he has none. N: Have you been liberating your Pok¨¦mon or imprisoning them within your PC? Kuro: They¡¯ve been liberated..by Team Plasma. I only have one Pok¨¦mon... N: Team Plasma has been causing a lot of trouble recently, I would deal with them on Liberty Garden, as they are trying to capture a Pokemon to use it for their own selfish desires and motives, ruining the Plasma name...but, I feel its best if you deal with them. Here, take this. N would hand Kuro a passport, a ticket of some sort that was a simple gray card. N: That¡¯s the ticket onto the ferry that will take you to Liberty Garden.If you want to more than one Pokemon to aid you during your journey...take this, and depending on what you decide to do, you will be closer to your answer. N said that, as he was walking away, waving at Kuro before he was gone from sight. Kuro would then board on the ferry that would take him to Liberty Garden, it wasn¡¯t a long trip ¡ª as Kuro and a few others took to a small little island with a simple lighthouse, on this island, Kuro could see a pitch-black boat on the other side of the island, as he was confused, did another boat come here to check out the Garden? Soon, his question would get its answer, as he would see a Team Plasma Grunt, with an all-black and gray outfit that covered his mouth. The grunt snickered, as he tossed his Pokeball up and down, pressing the button in the center as a Krokorok would reveal itself from the confines of the Pokeball. Showing its fangs and screeching at the people who came off the ship. Plasma Grunt: Listen here, everybody. This island is under Team Plasma¡¯s control. We¡¯re hunting for a Pokemon so we can guarantee our victory and ultimate completion of our goal. Better board back on that ship if you know what¡¯s good for you. The people on the island would bicker among themselves, one of them would go on and try to contact the police as Kuro used this to sneak over to the other side of the crowd, and passing by the grunt without being noticed ¡ª there, he would go inside of the lighthouse. It was dark, but Kuro could see the light down the end of the hall, as he would approach it, trying not to stumble over anything within this darkness, but he would stop moving...as he heard the growling of a Pokemon, a Scotland. Scoutland would sniff outside the door, as its Grunt trainer would follow behind it. Team Plasma Grunt: Who else is in here? Show yourselves, and you may not be hurt badly. Grunt: Z-Zinzolin....sir. Zinzolin: We''ll have to abort this mission, someone had contacted the police. I had sealed off the entrance to the room, so we have time to escape. Zinzolin said as a small smile would become placed on his face, as he would stare Kuro down, and Kuro would take a step back. Zinzolin: And who are you? Are you here to interfere with our plans, Little boy? Kuro: ...

Thank you for your paitence, this story has been on hiatus for months and it has just reached 10K views two days ago -- so i will for sure finish this out Volume 2, Chapter 17: Buggin Kuro: Woah...why is it so dark in here? Volume 2, Chapter 18: Kuro Vs Burgh Burgh: Ariados, Poison string! Volume 2, Chapter 18.5: Hoodlum Scraggy Kuro: We''ve done it, Shiro! The insect badge is ours! Kuro said as he held his badge in the air, admiring it ¡ª his Dewott sat right beside him, balling his fist as he nodded at Kuro''s statement. Something seems different about Kuro to Shiro, and it''s different in a very good way, she likes this new dose of confidence he has. His belief in himself is attractive to Shiro. All of them sat underneath the tree at Castelia city, where the city was said to have originated from. Kuro figured it had been a while since he had a new addition to his team, he''s looking for a Pokemon to add that he will hopefully be able to keep. Shiro wrapped her arm around Kuro''s, laying her head on his shoulder as they sat in silence ¡ª feeling the breeze blow them by as Kuro''s Dewott rested his head on Kuro''s other shoulder, and Shiro''s Eevee laid in her lap, it was a nice little break from all the battling and madness they have been dealing with as of late. As Shiro began to doze off to sleep, Kuro could hear slight growls coming from the grass that surrounded them. He didn''t want to move because he didn''t want to wake up Shiro, but the growls kind of scared him. He nudged the shoulder Dewott rested on, as Dewott looked up at his trainer confused. Kuro: Hey...do you hear that? Dewott tilted his head in confusion, as he looked ahead at the grass field and heard more rustling. Dewott would walk over to the grass to check out what it is, only to scream in fear! Dewott would try to run back to Kuro, but something dragged it across the ground by biting its leg! Kuro jumped at the sight of that, as he would lightly grab Shiro''s head and rest it on his bag as he chased after his Dewott. It didn''t take long for him to catch up, as they didn''t make it very far...the Pokemon biting on his Pokemon''s foot was no other than a Growlithe. Dewott kept screaming until Kuro placed his head on Dewott''s head. Kuro: Dewott, use water gun straight ahead. Dewott would do as he was told, as he would fire a beam right at the Growlithe ¡ª the grip Growlithe had on Dewott''s foot loosed as Growlithe was sent flying back, but before Growlithe could get too far Kuro tossed a Pokeball at it! One shake . . . Two shakes . . . Three shakes . . . . . . . . . Caught! Kuro: Awesome, Caught that Growlithe!This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Kuro and Dewott would then go back to Shiro, Kuro tapped her shoulder over and over before she started to wake up Shiro: Hmm...Daddy? Kuro: No, it''s Kuro! Shiro Ah it is Da...What is it Kuro? Kuro: I caught a Pokemon, we can get out of here now. Shiro: O...can I sleep a little longer...just five more minutes? Kuro: Oh yeah, that''s fine with me. Shiro: Thank yooou Shiro smiles before she collapses into Kuro''s arms, as he lays there with her and lets her get the sleep that she deserves. Route 4 After Shiro caught up on her rest, she and Kuro and Dewott were immediately bombarded with the harshness of the sandstorm in Route 4, as it made it hard to navigate through the route! Shiro held onto Kuro as the two tried to manage their way through the route. As they traveled further and further down the route, they found these little homes, they looked to be the ruins of homes from long ago. Left with not many options, the two walked inside one of the leftover homes from ancient times. Shiro: Jeez...this sandstorm is unforgiving! Kuro: You''re right..do you think it will die down anytime soon? Shiro: I hope so... As the two sat down in the little home they invaded, they heard knocking on the door. Not strong, or noticeable, but very light. Kuro would get up to check what''s waiting for them at the door and when he opened it there was nothing there! There was nothing until he looked down to see who knocked, and to his surprise, it was no person ¡ª but it was a Pokemon, a Scraggy! Scraggy held up its pants as it looked at Kuro with blank eyes, and Kuro did the same. The two stared at each other for about a minute or two before Kuro decided to say something. Kuro: Um...can I help you? Scraggy: Scrag. Scraggy spoke, as he signaled for Kuro to move away with his hand, and Kuro did what Scraggy wanted and walked out of the way so that Scraggy could get inside. Once Scraggy got within the home, it let out a cry as Scraggy charged its head straight towards Shiro, as Scraggy''s headbutt knocked Shiro down! Kuro: Hey, what''s up with you!? Growlithe, Ember! Kuro sent out his Growlithe, as the Growlithe came out and immediately set ablaze to Scraggy once it set its eyes on it Shiro: This little...Come out, Eevee! Shiro sent out her Eevee. Eevee growled at Scraggy as Scraggy aimed to give it a nice and strong headbutt. Eevee hopped out of the way and tackled Scraggy. Dewottjoined in and stepped on Scraggy¡¯s chest, spraying Scraggy with beams of water that caused Scraggy to scurry helplessly underneath Dewott¡¯s foot. Kuro: Alright, time to catch you! Kuro would dig in his pocket for Pokeballs...but he couldn''t pull any out. Kuro: U-Um...I...I don''t have any... Kuro slowly slipped back to the old Kuro from Chapter 1! Shiro didn''t want this, so she dug in her own bag and she tossed a Pokeball at the Scraggy instead, as it went inside. One shake . . . Two shakes . . . Three shakes . . . . . . . . . Caught! Kuro: Oh, you caught it! Good job, Shiro. Shiro: I''ve got a nickname for this trouble maker...I''m calling him Hoodlum. Volume 2, Chapter 19: Grave Robbing Kuro and Shiro persevered through the harsh desert, they were heading to Nimbasa City but were unclear of where the route to Nimbasa was...so they found themselves lost in a detour in Route 4. Their wandering would lead them to something...odd. As they wandered and wandered, Kuro would stop at the sight of a stairway going into the ground. Surrounding that stairway were five statues, which appeared to be Darmanitan in an odd stance, and were a pale blue color. Shiro was amazed at the statues, pulling out her Pok¨¦dex. Pok¨¦dex: Darmanitan ¡ª The Blazing Pok¨¦mon. Its internal fire burns at 2,500¡ã F, making enough power that it can destroy a dump truck with one punch. When weakened in battle, it transforms into a stone statue. Then it sharpens its mind and fights on mentally. Shiro: Oh, interesting! Do you think these statues are actually Darmanitan? Kuro looked at the Darmanitan, then at Shiro...and back at the Darmanitan ¡ª he pondered her question in his mind for a moment and came up with his answer that he dug deep in his mind to find. An answer that God¡¯s had given him omniscience just to answer... Kuro: Nah. It looks more like a statue than a Pok¨¦mon. Shiro: ...But the Pok¨¦dex said it turns into a- Kuro: What do you think this staircase is? Shiro: I don¡¯t know...It doesn¡¯t look good though. Kuro: Don''t be too suspicious! It looks ancient, maybe we can find some forbidden treasure in here! Kuro said as he walked towards the stairs ¡ª the moment he stepped down the third stair, the ground trembled and Kuro would lose his balance off the stairs! As he fell, the surrounding area would become devoured by sand, as Kuro and Shiro were caved in as the land above sunk. The stairway was damaged, the five statues remained unharmed and still, as they surrounded Kuro and Shiro. In front of them (Besides two Darmanitans) was a gigantic set of doors...where Kuro and Shiro found themselves at seemed to be a castle..the interior design and setup of the rooms just screamed ancient royalty. Shiro gasped, standing to her feet as she looked around. Shiro: Wooah, where are we? The room had slight reverb, as her voice echoed throughout the chamber they found themselves in. Shiro would approach the gigantic door, but Kuro stopped her and suggested they go through one of the side rooms. She agreed and the two walked into the hall down the left. As they walked, they saw an abundance of artworks engraved in the walls. One of them depicted men and women kneeling before this large moth-like Pok¨¦mon with small four feet. Surrounding this strange-looking Pok¨¦mon was a massive ring of fire that scorched some of the people in front of it. On another side, people were depicted in front of their homes, with a spherical Pok¨¦mon, possessing two cyan eyes with a third on a black appendage on top of its head. And above them was this large depiction of a Golem like Pok¨¦mon holding its hands out to these seals that imprisoned these coffins behind it. Darkness stares them down from this room in front of them, the painting had words on top but the words were from a language that the two could not decipher. In this darkened room, they could hear movement and laughter coming from out of it...these strange noises sent a chill down Shiro''s spine. Shiro: D-Do you hear that?? Kuro nodded his head. After Shiro spoke, the noise would go dead silent. The two slowly backed up, as a strange dressed man, who dawned this ¡°inhuman aura¡±, he grinned underneath his ninja mask. ???: Oh? I¡¯ve heard about you ¡ª Kuro, and Shiro correct? Kuro: H-How do you know about us? ???: Got word about you from Ghetsis, he said you and that other one are troublesome, but not an obstacle. Shiro: What are you doing in that coffin room? ???: Grave robbing. We¡¯re taking every damned soul from these relic castle ruins. Shiro: Why!? ???: Don¡¯t worry about it..but if you insist on trying to stop us, I¡¯ll handle you myself. Bisharp, come! Out from the dark depths of the ¡°coffin room¡±, Bisharp came charging at Kuro and nearly stabbing him! He fell to the ground with a cut on his shoulder, he backed up and stood back on his feet as he sent out Growlithe ¡ª while Shiro sent out her Servine. Dewott came behind Kuro, ready to defend. Kuro: Dewott, Growlithe, Attack! Shiro: Servine, Vine whip! Servine would unleash its vines in Bisharp¡¯s direction, aiming to attack it ¡ª but Bisharp grabbed onto the vines and forcefully pulling Servine in its direction as it slashed Servine in the ground, Dewott came behind Bisharp and Growlithe unleashed a burst of fire right in front of Bisharp¡¯s face but Bisharp ducked, making the flames hit Dewott as Bisharp tossed the Servine to Dewott, and grabbed Growlithe and slammed it to the ground. Growlithe fainted, and Dewott and Servine stood back to their feet ready to attack. ???: Bisharp, Sucker punch. Before Dewott and Servine could deliver an attack, they were smacked back down in one quick punch. Dewott stood back on his feet, removing the scalchops from his body as he surrounding himself with water and went rocketing right at Bisharp. Bisharp moved out of the way but Dewott pulled off a sharp turn and hit Bisharp down! Kuro: Good job, Dewott! ???: Alright then... Kuro: Dewott, Water Gun! Dewott pointed its scalchops at the Bisharp, as two beams of water went bursting at the foe''s Pok¨¦mon. Bisharp took the attack, falling on one knee before crossing its arms in an "X" formation. ???: Furry Cutter! Bisharp would bolt towards Dewott and start slashing, Dewott avoided one but was caught in the fury of the second, then the third, fourth, fifth, and then Dewott was smacked down, rolling back over to Kuro''s side of the room. ???(2): Hey, what''s the hold up!? Another man wearing the same clothing said, coming out of the darkness facing his attention to his comrade, not even noticing Kuro and Shiro. ???: I was trying to stop these kids from stopping us...didn''t think it would take this long, I underestimated their strength...specifically the boy. ???(2): Well...our mission is complete! Listen for this... As the man said that, muffled screams and moans came from the coffin room. Small black hands reached out from the room reaching out to the two strange men but never reaching them, as one grinned and the other laughed. Kuro and Shiro watched in disgust, the noises, the hands, their laugh...everything made this place very unsettling. Kuro: W-what the hell is this...? The men laughed unaware of what¡¯s behind him, as a huge coffin with four arms and an angry face wrapped around them, as they screamed as they were pulled into the darkness ¡ª their laughter echoed through the coffin room. ???: Mission complete! Let¡¯s get out of here before the guardian shows up! As he said that, the very room shook and rumbled, Kuro and Shiro ran inside the coffin room only to find that there was nobody in there...and no coffins were inside! The sand from above began to crack open into the relic room, and stomping could be heard from behind the Coffin Room''s walls...a gigantic stone automaton-like Pok¨¦mon with a bandage on its chest with this massive slash came through. ???: Go...!! Kuro: Its the thing from the paintings...C''mon Shiro, we gotta get out of here! Shiro: B-But...how!? All the shadows in the room formed into one ball, as the ball went blasting at the two, but they got up and ran to other sides of the room to avoid the attack, as the Pok¨¦mon kept yelling, and yelling. Kuro: I have an idea, run behind the Pok¨¦mon!! Shiro would nod, putting her absolute faith in Kuro as she ran behind the Pok¨¦mon, the gigantic Pok¨¦mon turned to face her as Kuro''s Dewott came flying in, smacking the Pok¨¦mon''s head hard with a razor shell and jumping in front of Shiro, as Kuro came swiftly behind him. They all placed their attention to the crack the wall the Pok¨¦mon came from gave to the ceiling above, as Dewott stabbed its scalchops in the ground and two big beams of water blasted upwards -- sending both Kuro and Shiro way into the sky as they landed above ground! Once they landed, the two would hurriedly sprint from the sinking sand and when they ran far enough, they were safe, Dewott would spring out from the ground as his body was covered in a force field of water, and he landed right next to Kuro. Shiro: Smart thinking....Kuro....we almost died! Kuro: I know...and what''s worst...we couldn''t even stop those guys... AUTHORS NOTE: STORY UPDATE!! (IMPORTANT) (UPDATED AGAIN) Hey! I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far, I''ve been going over some chapters and I''m fixing things here and there and reading the earlier chapters I cringed so hard. I apologize for all silly spelling errors, lack of name before dialogues, and just everything bad from Chapters 1 onward -- I''m editing it right now and adding a bit more. This is kinda like rebooting but not really. But basically, if you''ve been reading the story all this time and don''t want to go back to reread these chapters to see the little details I''ve added, basically I''m adding more personality to Shiro, Ghetsis, and N. In Chapter 4 instead of Kuro just getting straight up jumped by Team Plasma, Team Plasma is looking for this girl who has this murshana and they find her in the dreamyard, Kuro tries to defend her THEN he gets jumped. ALSO, someone pointed out that Kuro also forgot to get the Pokeball for Oshawott early within like the first three chapters and then later on in the story he magically has a Pokeball like wtf.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. SO instead of pulling some BS like "o he uhhh he got a new one BUT YOU GUYS JUST DIDNT SEE IT" im going to have him continue the story without a Pokeball because this also ties into the bigger plot. These little details are all part of the bigger plot which is why I''m adding them. That is all, thank you! Volume 2, Chapter 20: A Love-Hate Encounter Storm: Holy... Storm spoke at his eyes widened. He had made his way into the biggest city of Unova region, NImbasa City. The city was bustling with all kinds of people. Some people sitting alone with some Pokemon by the city buildings, and the vast majority were walking all over the city, mostly on their phones or talking with their friends or pokemon. Storm heard a woman''s scream far off into the distance! As he ran past the hundreds if not thousands of people that roamed Nimbasa City. In the middle of the city trainers and normal people alike circled around four Team Plasma grunts. Some trainers were battling them and were defeated. As one trainer grabbed his Pokemon and held his Watchog in his arms Trainer: Watchog!? Are you okay..? Isaki: Haha! The trainer looked up when he heard laughter. Towering above him was Team Plasma''s most formattable Grunt -- Isaki. Isaki looked down at the trainer, grabbing his Pokeball and stomping on it. as his Wathog was free but fainted. Isaki: Take that Pokemon to a Pokemon Center, but see what happens when it wakes up! Hahaha! She laughed, trying to mock Ghetsis but her voice was the opposite of intimidating and it made her other grunts sigh and facepalm themselves. Grunt1(Male): Isaki, shut up! Just keep on liberating these Pokemon. Isaki: Oh you don''t tell me what to do, soon I will be your superior! I feel it! I will be one of the highest-ranking members of Team Plasma!! She shouted out admiring the thought of her possible promotion until she saw a Pokemon coming from the air --A enraged twitching Electabuzz!The Electabuzz glared at Isaki,unleashing a huge beam of lighting from its fist and it zapped all the grunts pokemon, all but Isaki''s (who hasn''t sent out a pokemon.) The grunts were shocked! (Haha get it?) Lookingaround wondering where this sudden attack came from before Electabuzz came slamming down in the center of the trainers and grunts. Storm: Good job, Electabuzz. Isaki: Ooh, I recognize that voice. Storm made his way through the crowd as when Isaki laid eyes on him she spun around in a circle. Storm glared her down as he held Pignite''s Pokeball in his hand.. debating on if he should risk attacking them with Electabuzz. Isaki: Heeey, my favorite~ Hello there Storm...and come out, Liepard! Isaki would send out her signature Pokemon -- Liepard. As she laid on Liepard''s back with her legs in the air. Isaki: I hope you remember this Pokemon from when we first met..you never saw it but... Storm''s heart sunk when he saw the Liepard, as Electabuzz stared at his trainer with his eyes clouded by anger. Storm: That...is that my...Isaki! Isaki: Yes babe? Storm: Where did you find that Pokemon!? Isaki: In the grass silly! We grunts receive Pokemon from the upper ups, but I went out and caught this beauty myself! Electabuzz got tired of waiting, punchingits fist together as it would charge at the Liepard. Storm placed his hand on Electabuzz''s shoulder and Electabuzz turned around. Storm: Elecatbuzz, wait! I think that''s my sister''s.. The Electabuzz sent an electric shockwave that surged throughout Storm''s body! Storm screamed in pain balling his fist as his Electabuzz would go charging at Liepard. The Electabuzz unleashed a barrage of thunder punches and landed not a single one, as darkness circled around Storm''s Pokemon and a deep purple slash would make its way across the Pokemon''s chest, as Elecatbuzz would move back a little. Storm''s body was still twitching from the shock, as he stared at the Liepard for a moment before shaking his head.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Storm: No, this isn''t the same Pokemon...Electabuzz, return! Storm pulled out Electabuzz''s Pokeball, but Electabuzz would kick its Pokeball out of Storm''s hand! Running back to attack the Liepard as he grabbed the Liepard by the legs and lifted it off the ground -- sending a discharge through the Pokemon as it let out a cry of pain. Isaki: Liepard, assist! Listening to her trainer''s orders, Lipeard recalled a move used by one of the other members of Isaki''s team, then the Liepard stomped the ground with all its might -- causing a tremor! The Electabuzz was shaken up by this attack dropping the Liepard in the process, and Liepard slashed Electabuzz once again, knocking it down. Isaki: You can''t control your Pokemon it seems...oh what a shame. But I''ll tell you what, I''ll leave if you give me a kiss! Storm: What!? Isaki: That''s right, I''ll have my team retreat and we won''t liberate any more Pokemon! All you have to do is give my cheeks a quick smooch! Storm: . . . Before Storm could give out his choice, a servine and Dewott came from the crowd of trainers as Kuro and Shiro make their way into the scene -- the people surrounding the seven would cheer! With the formation of this strong trio, the crowd believed that the three could defeat these strong grunts! Shiro: Hey Storm, long time no see! Kuro: We''re here to help you, we''ll take on the grunts! Storm stared at the two of them, and he stared at Kuro. Kuro looked familiar but he couldn''t recall where he had seen him from. Then he remembered! He saw Kuro staring at him from the boat he took to Castelia city! Storm stood up on his feet and punched Kuro down! Shiro then slapped Storm across his face and Storm was going to punch Shiro but stopped his attack. Storm: ...Lucky you''re a girl. Shiro: Why did you just hit Kuro!? Storm: He was staring at me on the way to Castelia City from the boat I was taking! I vowed that I would find who that was and punch them. Shiro: ...Just for staring at you? Storm: Well...he was looking at me funny. Someone from the crowd: Can you three shut the fuck up and continue the battle!? THE GRUNTS ARE TRYING TO STEAL OUR POKEMON. Kuro would rub his cheek. Not holding anything against Storm (Seeing as he probably deserved it for staring at him), he would face his attention to the grunts ahead. The other three grunts turned around to help Isaki as they sent out their Pokemon. Now it''s the Grunts'' Liepard, Trubbish, Tranquill, and Houndor against Kuro''s Dewott, Shiro''s Servine, and Storm''s Electabuzz. Grunt 1: Alright Trubbish, g- Storm''s Electabuzz towered over the Trubbish, stomping on top of the pile of trash and even cutting it open as the Trubbish cried out! The Grunt was grossed out and sent his pokemon back in its Pokeball. Then before Tranquill could even receive an order, Electabuzz aimed its fist at it! Tranquill tried to fly away before the Electabuzz could attack, but Electabuzz unleashed a harsh discharge towards the Tranquill''s direction -- and shocked the absolute life out of the Pokemon, the discharge hurt all Pokemon -- and even some of the trainers surrounding the seven! Kuro: W-What''s with that Pokemon?? Shiro: Sheesh, is it trying to kill us all!? Storm(Mumbling): Damn Electabuzz...return. Before Electabuzz could attack another Pokemon, it was sent back inside its Pokeball, as Electabuzz glared back at Storm as it was being warped into the ball, and he sent out his much more trustworthy Pignite. Pignite, come out! Pignite came roaring into the battle, as it would turn to Storm -- awaiting directions. Kuro''s Dewott would go on and fight Houndor, quickly making work of it as Dewott struck it down with a super-effective Razor shell! Leaving only Isaki to battle the three. Grunt 1: Isaki, we need to get outta here! Isaki: Hmm... Isaki''s Liepard glared down the three Pokemon that stood in front of them, as it looks towards its trainer and shook its head. Isaki: Yeah, alright! May we meet again, Storm~ Isaki jumped on top of Liepard and pointed forward. Liepard leaped into the air over the huge crowd of people and on top of Nimbasa''s rooftops, and her grunts would desperately run after them. The crowd roared loudly at their victory and even hitting and throwing trash at the grunts running after Isaki. Shiro gave Kuro a big hug -- and when Dewott tried to high five Servine, Servine moved Dewott''s hand back with her vines. Pignite would walk to the two Pokemon and lift its hoof in the air and Dewott gave Pignite a high five instead. Shiro: We made quick work of them! Good job Storm, and Kuro! Kuro: Yeah we did it! And Storm, s-sorry for staring at you on the ride to Casteilia! Kuro laughed nervously but Storm didn''t even seem to acknowledge him as Storm returned Pignite to its Pokeball, putting the Pokeball in his pocket and began to walk away. Storm: Fuck this...I''m going home. Shiro: Hey wait, Storm! Shiro would run after Storm, grabbing Kuro''s hand and slowly chasing after him through the crowd. Shiro: We''re coming with you! Volume 2, Chapter 21: Intergalactic Alien Attack! Though Storm tried his best to shoo them away, they were persistent. They followed behind Storm through the storm in Route 4, the bustling cities of Nimbasa andCasteilia, and even the boat trip back to Virbank! Storm knew there wasn''t any way he could get away from them. Storm:...Why are you guys following me? Shiro: We need to talk! The three of us made quick work of Team Plasma! Together we were stronger than fighting them by ourselves, or even with me and Kuro or me and you. I think we should work together and stick with each other to defeat them. Shiro said as she balled her hands into fists, Kuro nodded -- though he didn''t know Storm too well, he could tell that Storm was strong and he trusts Shiro''s judgment. Kuro: Yeah, I think we should work tog- Storm laughed. He tried to hold back his laughter but he ended up bursting into tears! Storm: Ha...me work with you two? That''s about the funniest thing I ever heard next to Isaki asking me to kiss her. Shiro: What?? I think its a great idea. Storm: I don''t need any help during my battles. I can fight on my own, my team was the one that did most of the work back in Casteilia anyways. Shiro: Not so much work on your on in Nimbasa! Your Electabuzz would''ve killed you and those grunts! You gotta control that Pokemon and we were there to back you up! Storm: ...Why are you guys fighting Team Plasma anyways? Shiro: They hurt Kuro, and now I wanna hurt them! Kuro: I just battle them because they try to take people''s Pokemon... Shiro: What about you? Storm: Team Plasma has brought me nothing but pain. They kidnapped the teacher Cheren back in my home city and we haven''t seen him since..they tormented my father, and they stole my sister''s only Pokemon. I cannot wait until Team Plasma crumbles underneath my feet..! Shiro: Oh my god that sounds horrible. Team Plasma is a mean group. Kuro: Especially that Ghetsis... Storm: Ghetsis? Kuro: I think he is a member of Team Plasma, he was with them during the pep rally and he destroyed me and my team when I fought him. His Pokemon was merciless. Shiro: Not to mention those weirdos grab robbing over in that ancient castle we found! I''m sure they work for Team Plasma too! Storm:...So there''s more to Plasma then just mindless grunts. Shiro: Yeeah, Team Plasma also has your girlfriend! Storm: Who''s my girlfriend? Shiro giggled, hiding behind Kuro before she said the name- Shiro: Isaki! Storm turned around and tried to swing at Shiro! Shiro was behind Kuro, and Kuro dodged the punch. He held his hands out trying to get Storm to calm down. Kuro: H-Hey! Calm down...she''s just messing with you. Storm: I would never be with that witch. She''s just another enemy I want to destroy. Shiro: Mmm...destroy in what way, Storm? Storm: Shut up. Shiro laughed as she stayed behind Kuro -- she was both amused and terrified of Storm. Kuro was just in between their madness, as he just looked at his Dewott and Dewott shrugged. Shiro: Oh yeah...and that N guy. Storm: N? Shiro: N is this weirdo who keeps talking about bonds between people and Pokemon..and I seriously think he is in Team Plasma. Kuro: I don''t think N is a bad guy..but he is with Team Plasma. The "true" Team Plasma. Shiro: Whatever that means. Storm: ....Interesting. Before the three knew it, they had arrived in Flocessy Town; just a little further and they''ll be back in Storm''s home city.However, on the way, they heard a distant screech. A woman was crying for a man named Alder. And upon hearing his name the man came running past Storm, Kuro, and Shiro -- bumping into Storm as he turned around and waved. Alder: Sorry about that, but hey Storm -- Come give me a hand! Then with that Alder turned back around and headed toward the direction of the scream. Shiro stood in shock! The strongest trainer in the entire region asked that hothead known as Storm for help. Shiro: We''re coming to! Storm: No. Storm quickly responded, running right behind Alder and trying his best to both catch up to Alder and distance himself from Kuro and Shiro. Storm: I''m coming! Shiro: Hothead knows he needs our help. Kuro: Well come on then, let''s go. Kuro and Shiro followed behind Alder and Storm. Soon the four would arrive at Flocessy Ranch. There they surrounded a small and fragile old woman who seemed to be happy to have many trainers come to her aid. Old Woman: Oh thank you...I have one tiny problem. Alder: What is it? Are you hurt, did someone try to attack your Pokemon? Old Woman: No...one of my Mareeps, Mareey, is missing! I can''t find her..and now I''m worried what if she ran off somewhere?? Alder: ...You want me to look for Mareey? Old Woman: Yes...please look for Mareey. She has two pink ribbons on her little ear things... Alder sighed, he thought this situation was direr than this. Nonetheless, he, Kuro, Storm, and Shiro searched all over the ranch. Kuro and Shiro worked together looking on the left side. Alder searched in the center, and Storm searched at the far ends of the ranch. They all searched and searched for an hour and no luck..until they find something greater than what they were looking for. Storm: ...What the hell? HEY GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT. Shiro and Kuro arrived first, then Alder. The three stood over Storm, wondering why he called them over.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Kuro: Did you find Mareey? Storm: Yeah...but I don''t think it''s supposed to be acting this way. He pointed at a Mareey, who, visually, looks just like the rest of the Mareeps around it despite the pink ribbons...however, it didn''t make a cry like the others...it spoke in words! Mareey: T...coming...they...back Shiro was creeped out, standing behind Kuro as he stared at the Mareep confused and amused. Kuro: Woah..that''s kinda cool. Alder: Strange... Storm: That''s what I thought. This thing is really fucked in the head. Mareey: Be here on October 21st at 10:16 PM and they will come back. Mareey spoke crystal clear, which shocked the four of them, which raised questions in their minds. October 21st? Today is October 21st. October 21st, 2:00 PM to be exact. What will happen eight hours from now and who will come back is a mystery for them but they decided to stick along to see what happens. For the next eight hours, they sat around, sparring with each other as they waited for it to strike 10. Once 10 PM had hit, they sat down on the porch, with the Old woman sitting in the middle next to Kuro''s Dewott. Kuro: It''s almost time... Shiro: I''m kinda scared, what if a big Pokemon is coming down to eat us!? Storm: Don''t be stupid. We don''t know what will happen but I can assure you it''s not that. Alder: We''ll never know until it happens...Let''s just see. If it''s something bad make sure you all are prepared. 10:16 had hit. And they waited..and nothing had immediately happened. Then they heard a noise, something that sounded like a jet passing by, or an airplane about to land. The four trainers looked up as their brains shot out of their heads when they saw a gigantic UFO hovering over them! The Old woman screamed and ran fast back inside her home. A staircase erected from underneath the UFO, and walking up the stairs was the talking Mareep from earlier. They all watched in awe, and utter confusion. Once Mareey walked in, they heard a laugh produced by no human -- but a Pokemon! The alien-like Elgyem came from the UFO, descending from the staircase as it was wearing a white lab coat, with several other Elgyem''s peering their heads out from behind what seems to be their leader. UFO Leader Elgyem: HUMANS. The Elgyemspoke in its uncannyvoice that sent a shiver down Shiro''s spine. Storm brought out his pokeballs and Dewott jumped off the bench -- removing the scalchops from its body as they turned into blades. The Leader of the UFO lifted its hand up, as one of the Elgyem''s behind it whispered into the Pokemon''s ear? (Elgyem doesn''t have any ears so let''s just assume that they are invisible.) UFO Leader Elgyem: Oh...understandable. HUMANS I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THIS REGION HOLDS THE ITEMS MY CADRE AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. IN A SIMPLE MANNER I HEREBY ORDER YOU TO RELEASE YOUR GRASPS ON THE PRISON BOTTLE, REVEAL GLASS, AND THE EGGS OF YOUR UNBORN POKEMON AS THESE ITEMS ARE MANDATORY FOR OUR PROGRESSION DURING OUR EXPERIMENTS. Storm: Hey, shut up! Now, why don''t you take your ass back to whatever planet you came from. We don''t have anything you''re looking for! UFO Leader Elgyem: USING FEEBLE RESISTANCE. THEN WE MUST REAP THESE ITEMS FROM YOUR POSSESSION BY FORCE. MY LEGION, ATTACK! The UFO Leader ordered its "legion" of Pokemon to go on the offenses! Elegyms all came flooding out from the UFO. Dewott shot itself up in the air as it put its scalchops together and created an even bigger sword! It sent Elegyms floating up in the air. Alder sent out his partner Gigalith, and Gigaith would cause the very ground to shake. Alder: I''ll handle these Pokemon outside, you guys go rescue Mareey! Shiro: Are we really about to go in there!? Kuro: Are you scaaared? Kuro said with a silly grin, chuckling as Shiro would ball her fist up and run inside the UFO. Storm followed behind her and soon would Kuro.
Inside the UFO The three would arrive inside the UFO, as they couldn''t believe what they saw. The technology wasn''tsuper-advanced(In fact they had better tech in cities likeOpelucid and Black City.) It was impressive nonetheless that these Pokemon were able to get all of this on their own. On the three large screens that surrounded the room had the three items they were looking for -- The Reveal Glass, The Prison Bottle, and several eggs. Shiro stood behind Kuro, and Kuro and Storm stood in front -- looking around the room for Mareey. Their search would soon be over as they saw Mareey within the corner! Kuro: There she is! Kuro saw Mareey and began to run towards it as Shiro''s grip on him would loosen, but Storm would hold his hand out. Storm: Kuro, watch out! Confused by Storm''s words, Kuro didn''t stop running but he did begin to look around, and he saw nothing out of the ordinary...that was until he stopped running on the ground and began to run in mid-air! Kuro looked down and saw the cause of his sudden uprising was because of a Kadabra! Storm sent out his Pignite, as Pignite rolled into a ball and headed straight into the Kadbra''s direction, but Kadabra would use its psychic powers to lift the Pignite in the air too as it continued rolling! Storm: Pignite, keep rolling faster even if you''re still suspended in the air! Kuro: S-Shiro, we need your help! Shiro: Right! Shiro would take her Pokeball out and sent out her Servine -- as the Servine would grab the Kadabra by the vines and Kadabra would turn its attention to Servine. Kadabra once again using its psychic abilities manipulated Servine''s control of her vines, but once it turned its attention to Servine it released its control on Pignite and Kuro. Kuro would fall to ground rolling, standing back up as he quickly grabbed Mareey. Then the speed Pignite picked up suspending in the air in a rollout -- smacking the Kadabra in the air in the blink of an eye! Kuro: Good work! Kuro said to Shiro as he held Mareey in his arms. Shiro giggled, staring at Kuro as a light shade of red surfaced on her cheeks. Storm: Hey, can you two keep your head in the fucking game!? We got more Pokemon to deal with! As Storm gave the two lovebirds the warning, a Gallade came from out of nowhere -- Dewott quickly rushed in front of her -- as Dewott blasted a big beam of water to Gallade. Shiro''s Servine would then turn her attention to them and sent seeds flying at Gallade. In the Gallad''s back, Servine had planted its leech seeds, as from time to time it drains the energy out from Gallade. Gallade felt pain and turned to Servine -- Diverting its attention from Dewott to Servine would prove to be fatal. Dewott would bring his scalchops together -- as a big sword erected from them and would blast Gallade back, Servine jumped out of the way as she grabbed the Gallade by her vines and violently tossed the pokemon in Pignite''s direction. Storm: Pignite, flame charge! Pignite cloaked itself in flames -- rushing right at the Gallade as the impact of the two caused an explosion! After the smoke cleared, the only one who was left standing was Pignite. Shiro: That''s what I call teamwork! Kuro smiled, as he looked at the Mareey trying to communicate. Sparks shot off behind its pink ribbon, and Kuro would await to hear whatever it had to say. Mareey: H...The...Gigalith! Kuro was confused. "Gigalith!"? That''s the pokemon Alder is using to battle off against the Pokemon back on the ranch.
Flocessy Ranch UFO Leader Elgyem: H...The...Gigalith! The Leader of the UFO ascended in the air, shocked on how easily its whole crew was defeated. Alder: Now, in order to stop my Gigalith from defeating you two -- I need two things from you. Give back the Mareep you sent into your ship and take your team and get outta here! UFO Leader Elgyem: I suppose I have no option. A retreat is mandatory.
Inside the UFO Mareey:I sup...no option. A retreat is mandatory. Kuro: Huh? Storm: C''mon, let''s get out of here. We got Mareey so now its time to leave. Sparks would shoot off from around Mareey, and lightning cloaked its entire body. The sparks did no damage to Kuro -- as something would shatter within Mareey''s wool, and soon the Pokemon would begin communicating as usual. Mareey: Mareep! Kuro: Oh hey, it stopped talking! Storm: Did you see that thing break? Some kind of device was attached to it to make it talk. Establishing that, Kuro, Shiro, and Storm made their way off of the UFO. Kuro lifted Mareey in the air to show Alder and Shiro gave him the thumbs up. Kuro: Mareey is all better now! The UFO would have its staircase disappeared -- as the Sauser went flying off somewhere...far, far away. The four returned Mareey just the way she was to the Old woman. Praising the four trainers, and seeing them off on their way. On the way back to Flocessy Town, Alder requested that Storm come with him in this small trainer school he has going within the town. Shiro and Kuro waited outside, and Storm followed Alder inside. Once inside, Alder would show Storm this egg sitting on apedestal. Alder: I want to congratulate you on your hard work and courage back there on the ranch. Having you and your friends help me get Mareey back was a big help, and so I want to give this egg to you as a gift. Alder took the egg off thepedestal and handed it to Storm, as Alder patted Storm''s head and Storm gave him a mean look. Alder: Haha, always mad! But I hope you accept this gift. You''re not the same trainer that fought Team Plasma with me a month ago, keep growing stronger with your Pokemon. After that talk, Storm made his way outside where Shiro and Kuro stared at his egg. Storm: Kuro, hold your hands out. Kuro held his hands out, as Storm dropped the egg into Kuro''s grasps. Kuro was confused, and he looked up at Storm Kuro: W-what? Storm: It''s a pokemon. Alder gifted it to me for my hard work...but you need a new Pokemon more than I do. And with that Storm is off, as he walked in one direction -- waving at the two as Shiro would try to run after him. Storm: Don''t follow me, I''m going back home. AUTHORS NOTE: IMPORTANT POLL (Needs your vote) I''ve noticed that my chapters have fluctuated. When I first uploaded this story, the words would not go to the high 1000s but would be high 100s or low 1000s, and I don''t know if that''s a problem. I have edited these chapters and they are all around the 1000 words or more length and I don''t know if this is a problem. The newest chapter (Chapter 21) has 2000 words and I was wondering if having chapters being this long would bore people. So would you prefer for me to break them up, keep them how they are or add more? Because usually only one thing happens in each chapter, but if you want more I could combine chapters (i.e. in Chapter 17 Kuro meets burgh, and in chapter 18 they fight. If you want me to add more I could have Chapter 17 and 18 combined into one chapter.) Or do you just not care and im just making a big deal out of nothing? Let me know what you guys think. Stolen story; please report. Also, thank you so much for reading and supporting this story I appreciate it. Chapter 22: Surprise Attack! Driftveil City
