Prologue
September 21st 2100
The world is not what it was. It’s funny how you think you’ve figured out how to make something foolproof, and then of coarse it becomes horrible. It happens…..it’s just a realization that people have to accept and get over. Some people have a hard time doing that. It is been awhile since I’ve seen anybody. I don’t mind it, or regret it, but it’s the truth. Things haven’t been the greatest in the past 10 years…..its been horrid. I didn’t cause it, nor influence it, but nonetheless it happened. Crazy how something like that can happen. Anyways, let me introduce myself…..not that it matters as nobody will probably find this, but I’m Andrew. If any human life form is reading this right now, congratulations. This means there must be survivors…..which are good. As of now, which is while I am writing this, I’m going to be saving my life. I’ve come to the conclusion that the world, Earth if I wasn’t specific enough, is not safe any longer, and it is crucial for my existence. This piece of writing is the last thing I will leave behind as a sign of my living being. Until I return, stay safe. And take this you’ll need it. I’m sure your not wondering what it is, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out. It is a pokeball…..since they are indestructible it should be around until someone finds this. Either you….or if there is no you, me. In the pokeball, you will find a rather rare pokemon; some may know it as Celebi. Ask it to take you 15 years into the past from the date I have written this. Meet me at the Empire State Building in New York City, USA, top floor. I was there that day…..I do not remember why. Maybe I was waiting for someone……anyways; I must end this letter now. Time is of the essence.
Sincerely,
-Black Rayquaza
PS: Bring this letter. And Celebi.
Chapter One
August 19th 2114
I don’t have much time to write, but I figure I must. It is my duty. My Name is Jason Viel. I am a General in the Alliance of the Pokemon Masters as of now, but I’m sorry to say it looks like were losing the war. I should probably explain this from the beginning. Allright, here we go.
Pokemon actually started as a video game, but that was long ago. About 45 years after the first game came out; a team of Creature Scientists were paid a large sum of money to start on a top secret project, to make Pokemon real. We only know that the project was finished 5 years later, and our one leader, who still was leader until about 15 years ago, Black Rayquaza, was creating Pokemon. The first one he created was an Abra. We all know that was his prized possession. It was perfect. In fact, it soon evolved into an Alakazam. And that was the first Pokemon ever made. Then, he started giving his leaders their favorite Pokemon as presents, and told them not to say anything about it. He would unleash Pokemon on the world when the time was ready for them. I actually received a Snorlax from him……it was amazing. Black Rayquaza was a great leader…..but he wasn’t a very powerful one. He believed in winning wars by strategy not power. Making allies as much as possible, and being nice to those who were his enemies. The way he created it, each person was meant to have 3 pokemon each, no exceptions. You could go to him and exchange one of your pokemon for another, but ONLY ONCE. It was a great idea…..but like most great ideas, it went horribly wrong. As soon as he started releasing pokemon to the soldiers in his army he wasn’t too sure about, that’s when it got bad. One soldier, I’ll never forget his name. Brian. He signed up, and seemed a good soldier, like he had been trained before to fight. He was also a very smart person. Black Rayquaza caught quick eye of him, and warned us that he might not be here to fight. He sent the leaders up for a conference, and then invited Brian up. He gave him a Blaziken, which was Brian’s favorite pokemon. That was the worst mistake of the entire Alliance. He quickly quit the army, and went to the same scientists that Black Rayquaza hired. He asked for the secret to building pokemon, and when the refused, he threw his Blaziken and made them. Then, he started our rival, Team Ruby. He didn’t see the danger of not limiting pokemon to people, and gave them what ever they wanted. He mass-produced pokemon by the thousands. This is what started the war. Since he had more pokemon at his disposal than us, we were bound to lose, unless we trained very well. Black Rayquaza was the person for that. He set up multiple harsh training facilities, and we were winning the war by a landslide….until one day Black Rayquaza disappeared. There was a rumor going around that he left a note with instructions on where to find him…..and that is where my job kicks in. I’m ordered to find the secret note of Black Rayquaza and retrieve our lost leader to win the war and save the Earth. No pressure right?
It’s been 2 years since I’ve started this journey, and I’ve gotten nowhere. I have an idea to go and look in his childhood home, so that is where I’m off to next. I’ve looked everywhere else…..millions of cupboards, desk drawers, offices, etc. I should be there soon…..I’m flying by Salamence, over what used to be New York City now. What used to be the city that never sleeps is now the city that ALWAYS sleeps. It is controlled by Team Ruby. Each soldier is armed with microphones and when they press play, the move Hypnosis is used. They have special earphones to block out the sound, as I do now, as I’ve taken during battle. It’s quiet up in the air over here….I like it. If you go to where Africa used to be, it’s a mess. People are airborne on all flying types imaginable firing Flamethrowers and Ice Beams at each other. What a battle that is to see. Anyways, hopefully when I get there, I can find some clues to where he went. Well, I’m at least in Michigan now. I can see a few bases of The Masters and Team Ruby over the distance. I know that was the first place he built a base. Right outside of Detroit, which is the most dangerous city in the US. When his leaders asked him why, he just replied that it was of personal importance. I got it! It has to be in the base. I land on the roof and returned my Salamence. Now it’s the moment of truth.
The base was different than any other. The colors were Gold and Purple, which are Black Rayquaza’s colors not the Alliance [which is Red, Black, White, and Blue] and it was decorated with things from before. Like pictures of great Jazz performers of the 1940’s-1970’s. That was way before my time but not before Black Rayquaza’s. We still don’t know the secret as to how he lives so long. He doesn’t age. Ever since he got to the age that he was happy, he just stopped. And that’s why its one of the greatest mysteries the world shares. People have been trying things to make them live forever, but he’s the only proof of it really. That’s why we believe that he’s still alive. That’s why I’m sent to do this; I feel it is my destiny. Well, this is where I must end, as something seems to be happening around here and I cannot write any longer.
Sincerely,
Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER ONE
Chapter Two
August 26th 2114
Well, I’m happy to be writing again….it stresses my mind from all that’s going on…..not to mention I get paid for it. Anyways, a lot has happened in the past week. Not bad things, but just stuff. This is by far the busiest base I’ve been to. I’ve been getting myself acquainted with the members here, who all have seen to have known Black Rayquaza personally. I never figured that the leader of the whole alliance would take the time to come over to the rinky base and get to know everyone. I guess it could just explain what kind of person he is. I’ve gotten to ask some questions about him here, and I’ve gotten some nice answers. A Couple people remember being in the original Pokemon Masters clan before Pokemon became real….they always mentioned how he’d try new things, but there wasn’t enough member support. I can understand that. I’ve been looking around for the letter, in small holes and dark rooms around the base. I went into his office, I wasn’t surprised he still had one, everyone knew he was alive, so they would expect his return. Nobody’s been allowed in there except me, and one more person, the Temporary Leader Joey. He dusts the immaculate office weekly, when he comes here to check on things. I saw some pictures on the wall of himself and Alakazam and Togekiss as well as his other Pokemon. I went over to the large desk. It was a Gold-colored Metal and felt oddly warm when I put my hands on it. I sat down into the Black leather Chair and booted up his computer. I figured he may have left a rough copy of the note saved on his hard drive. I opened the desk drawer. There were pictures of him and his mother who he always talked about. I looked on the back of one of the pictures…it was him and his mother at his college graduation. It read, If you’re looking for it, its not here. If you need to find it, then it is. –Black Rayquaza
“That’s Odd” I thought to myself…..why would he give a riddle if he went into hiding. Obviously there must be some clue on the computer. I looked at his pictures. Again, pictures of his mother and sister, and some Trainer Passes he’s crafted on the computer over the years. He’s always been into making those; he even made them our Identification system. But these did not have the barcode on them. It said Black Rayquaza on it, and had his Pokemon. Then it has the weird number and info, probably about his game. No one really knows what happened to his original DS Games….some people think Joey has them, and some people think its locked in a vault. Then I came across a weird folder. It said DON’T OPEN UNLESS I'm GONE/DEAD. So I opened it. Incased was an Mp3 Sound File…..I turned up the speakers and opened the file. It was a sound clip of him saying, Name: Black Rayquaza Password: open the vault already.
Just then, the picture of him and Alakazam burst into Flames, and melted. Behind it there was a hole in the wall. I got up, still shocked by the sudden combustion, and went to look in the hole. There was something hidden in it. It was a Gold key and a note. Ask Joey.
At that point my 2 year journey hit the turning point. I needed to find Joey and fast. I went to the front desk.
“Excuse me, miss. Could you tell me where Temporary Leader Joey is stationed?”
“Why yes….he is stationed at our LA base. Would you like to video call him?”
“Yes, please. Call his Trainer ID. Tell him I need him transferred here immediately.”
“Take a seat and I will call you up with your answer shortly.”
“Thank you”
The waiting room was full of trainers waiting to sign up, or soldiers looking for a brother to call, or people waiting to clock out. I saw kids waiting for their first Pokemon.
“Jason! I have your reply”
“Great….so what did he say?” I asked.
“He said that he was pretty busy and that if there wasn’t a great reason that he would not make the trip”
“Tell him I found the key.”
“Very Well….you may have a seat.”
I sat down the in waiting room, yet another time, and waited for the reply.
“Jason! He wants to talk to you directly” She mentioned over to me frantically for me to hurry over.
“Okay……Hello?” I voiced into the pass device that was used as a phone.
“Jason, this is Joey. Alexis says you’ve found the key. Is this true”
“Yes sir. I went on his computer and opened the sound file. Then the picture blew up.”
“About time someone figured that out. Trust me. I’ve been trying to find that key for ages.” He said.
“Well do you know what it goes to?” I asked.
“Yes…..but that box is locked away in a safe in The Alliance National Headquarters in Chicago.”
“Well can I meet you there?”
“My thoughts exactly, Greetz!”
“Bye.”
At that point things were good…..I’ve never been to National HQ before…..B-Ray himself helped build it. So I packed up my things and was about to leave until I hear a message over the PA system the base has installed.
“ATTENTION” the PA Rang. “The Alliance National HQ in Chicago was broken into earlier today. They stole a precious box that was very important to Black Rayquaza. The Team Ruby General who stole it whose name is reportedly Adam Spriter is in hot pursuit by the Alliance Guard. We will let you know more of the situation as it occurs. That is all”
At this point, I realized that they stole the box….that’s not good. Well I’m on my way to Chicago to meet Joey…..so I have to stop writing for today.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER TWO
Chapter Three
August 28th 2114
Well I’ve arrived in Chicago. I’m not exactly happy with being here…..I view it as a complete waste. All I'm here for is to meet Joey, and hopefully by then we will have gotten the box back from this Adam guy. Let me inform you on what went on the in past few days. I wasn’t able to write while flying to Chicago…..when someone steals something valuable from The Alliance……we go after them. They’re swarms of Alliance members flying toward Spriter. So traffic was bad….like they say, gotta keep your eyes on the road…..well air, in this case. When I got there it was a mess……our Armies main Calvary was down there playing damage control. I flew down….and kind of hovered on Salamence until I saw the huge red letters on the biggest building in the city…..PMC NATIONAL HQ it read. I still don’t see why we made it that obvious.
Anyways, I entered the building to see a ton of people! A man in a dark blue suit rushed up to me.
“Jason?’ the man asked.
“You’re Joey, right” I replied
“Yes….lets go to my office seeing that the box is gone.”
We made our way to the golden elevators…..Joey pushed the pokeball button and the door opened. He clicked the 24 on the keypad, and the elevator went up.
“This building is a spectacular engineering feat! Build by one of our greatest…..George Rock IV. He was an amazing engineer….he was one of Black Rayquaza’s closest friends…..as was I. Black Rayquaza told me that when he created the first Pokemon, he went to George’s hometown…and looked him up. I don’t recall how he knew him…I think he met him online or something. Anyways, so there’s a little history lesson for you.” Joey said.
The elevator’s doors separated, and we walked out. We went down a maze of halls, and then Joey finally stopped and spoke aloud; “Greetz”
The door opened, and he walked in….I followed closely behind. It looked similar to Black Rayquaza’s office in Detroit. It was big….nice gold desk with a computer….the walls were a brownish sort of color, with a big window, and there were two red chairs facing opposite James, who was seated in a Brown chair.
“Please, sit down,” James said.
I sat down in the chair to the right…..and took a quick glance out the window….what a view even from the 24th floor.
“I have 1 bit of good news and 2 bits of bad news…which would you like?”
“I’ll take the one of the bad news,” I replied.
I figured I mine as well hear the bad news and get that out of the way….he’s just probably gonna tell me how important that box is.
“Okay….the bad news is….that box that Adam Spriter stole…is very important.”
See, I TOTALLY CALLED that one….easy enough.
“Oh, I see….,” I replied. “So what’s the good news?”
“That box he stole….was a fake. He’ll think he really got it, and he’ll probably get fired for taking the wrong one,” he chuckled.
It was quite ingenious….they think they’ve got the upper hand, and then POOF! Its gone.
“So then what’s the other bad news??” I asked him.
“Well….we only had one copy left…..now its all or nothing,” he said.
So that was good I guess……at least Joey still knows where the real box is.
“You see….the real box has been hidden for quite some time….even I only know rough directions………but we hid the fake to divert them until someone found the key. So we need to hurry….but first I’d like to share with you some history about the war……it seems like you don’t know much of the situation. We’re not actually IN WAR now….people are fighting….but were not sending troops there. We met them started a few fights that are just still going on. Its like a cold war….nobody’s moving, but its still fighting. But that’s no excuse to say that its not a war….because a war it is. Team Ruby needs to be stopped, and were the only ones to do it. We really haven’t done much on advancing on them since Black Rayquaza left….that is where you come in. You’re the chosen one….by him…that if anything went wrong, like it did, and he needed to leave, you were the only one who could get him. I can help, but that’s it. He wrote the plan down….in a letter. The letter is hidden somewhere……were pretty sure that a clue to where it’s hidden is in that box. The letter might even be inside the box….we don’t know. All we know is B-Ray said for the safety of the people, this must be hidden. It was actually a good move by him….he knew that Team Ruby would stop at nothing to get their hands on him….Black Rayquaza’s powerful….and may be able to live forever….but he’s not INVINCABLE….he can be hurt….he can be captured….etc. They want him…..he’s their prized goal…..that’s what this war is about. Brian…..wants the glory. That’s why he quit the alliance…..let me tell you about it…..since you were only a soldier at the time and you were in California you probably wouldn’t know the whole story….would you?”
“No….please tell,” I replied.
“Allright then…..it was 2092……we were building our alliance rapidly at that point…..getting a ton of new recruits each day. One day, Brian showed up…a boy of about 15….but he was far superior to any of the new recruits we had seen. He would train harder, longer, and prove to be the top of his class. When B-Ray decided to give him his Pokemon, it looked to be a great day….we were even thinking of making him a general. He took his Blaziken, said thanks, and ran out the door. He booked a plane to Asia, and that was the last we saw of him till 2097. Then he began building HIS Empire talking about world domination and how it was so close…..he said Pokemon were the key. He took our scientists secrets and started mass producing Pokemon. Then he declared war on us…..and started attacking. We were winning….until our spies told us some info. They said that Team Ruby was preparing to send Snipers to our bases to eliminate Black Rayquaza and fledge full domination while our alliance was de-moralized. They said they figured out how he was still living, and they could stop it. So Black Rayquaza really had no choice….he was forced out…..into hiding. People’s hopes are alive…that’s what counts though. As long as hope is still there, our alliance will never die. Well, we made a plan. You know how not all Pokemon from the original games were created…..because of their danger to society?”
“Yeah….all the legendaries right?” I asked.
“That’s correct,” he replied.
“Well…..we did recreate one legendary…..just one. Black Rayquaza said that it’s the most important to the world’s survival. It was called Celebi. That Pokemon is with the letter…..well be needing it according to Black Rayquaza,” James said. “Now you understand why they want the letter as much as us…..they want Celebi more….they want to be able to find Black Rayquaza, and destroy him.”
“There’s a room next to this one….its yours. Open the door and lock it…..I’ll wake you in the morning,” James said.
“Goodnight.”
So that’s what happened…….well….I'm tired…..long day tomorrow…..sure to be fun. Not sure when I’ll be able to write next…..but I’ll be sure to recap if its awhile.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel

Chapter Four
August 30th 2114
Sorry for not writing last night……really didn’t have time. A lot has happened. Let me fill you in on what’s happening.
I woke up to a loud siren….it was still dark out. If I were to take a guess it would have been around three AM…..I had just fallen asleep when I finished writing at two. I immediately got up, got my stuff together, and prepared for the worst. I put on my battle gear, and waited at the door to see what was happening. A quick knock would have been nice, but obviously that didn’t happen. Joey almost knocked off the door because he couldn’t get in fast enough.
“Jason….we have a problem.”
“I noticed by the siren….what’s going on?
“Just a couple of minutes ago, Team Ruby declared war on the alliance. Were drafting and deploring people to the eastern part of the country. This is it….the all out battle we were trying to prevent.”
I could see the look of hatred towards Team Ruby on his face….he was deeply moved by this.
“Are we going into battle?” I asked.
“No….we are going to battle….but not in that war. You know are task don’t you?”
“I think so…..we need the box….but how does that involve battling?”
“Well…...”he replied. “I forgot to mention this last night….but there’s a problem. I know where the box is….but it’s guarded heavily. Guess who is guarding it,” Joey said.
“Is it Team Ruby?”
“Of coarse not…..why would they try to steal it from us if they had it? It’s located in an ancient city located someone unknown. You have to enter through underwater. On top of that, the city is guarded by a series of traps and a rather unpleasant Kraken.”
“Aren’t those huge legendary sea-monsters?”
“Yes…aren’t easy to kill either. Their only weak spot is its Tail. Anyways, the time is now…..we need to find it as quick as possible. We both know that Team Ruby Is going to stop at nothing to win this war. Our only hope is this box.”
“Then the decision is made….lets go,” I said.
We hurried back to our rooms and packed and then met each other at the lobby.
“Ah, there you are,” Joey said waiting for me.
“Let’s go….are we going to fly?”
“Ah not this time Jason, there’s too many Rubies in the sky hungering to pick off a General of the Alliance flying by. I have a faster, safer method. Come with me.”
We walked out of the building….it was windy….after all we were in the Windy City. We walked a couple blocks and then into a building that I didn’t know. It was small on the first floor with a desk to the right, and some stairs down the hall.
“Hello Edward,” Joey told the person at the desk.
“Oh, didn’t expect to see you there, good to see you Uncle Joey!”
“Well, have a good day!”
“You, too Uncle Joey”
Joey started walking down the hall and I followed. We walked down the stairs I saw on the way in, even though it went a lot further down than I expected. What I saw I couldn’t believe.
It was like a city…..except it was full of Alliance guys. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I suppose Joey could read the look on my face.
“This is the real national headquarters…..did you really think the office building/hotel is really going to house weapons, testing, soldiers, and Pokemon, as well as training facilities?”
“Guess not,” I said.
It was amazing. I wish I could have taken a picture to remember it. It was the mainframe of the entire Alliance. There were marts giving weapons, and battle arenas, as well trading centers, little Pokemon Centers*, and the most important part of the HQ….a HUGE subway running from here, to who knows where. I knew that was what we’d be traveling on.
“Well here it is….may I present to you, The Alliance’s main transportation system. It’s powered by the move Teleport. We channeled Ralts and Abra’s Psychic power, by their request of course.”
“Cool,” I said. “So when can we leave?”
“Right now….follow me”
We walked around the station for a little, and the receptionist gave us two passes for the monorail. We saw it stop, and hurried up to catch it. There were three passenger cars. There was a blue car, the caboose of the vehicle, which soldiers were boarding. There was also a black car, for higher class soldiers and important people from the Alliance. Then there was one more car, the gold car, that looked to be towards the front.
“Which one are we going on?” I asked.
“Why the gold one of coarse….Black Rayquaza’s special missions even now get the utmost attention.”
I have to admit it was the nicest ride I’ve ever had….it was very quiet and exciting at the same time. And this is where we lie as I’m writing this…not knowing where we’ll end up. Good thing the iPod has a good battery life….I have a feeling this is going to be awhile.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER FOUR
Chapter Five
September 1st 2114
Well, I have some good news. It wasn’t as long as I thought. Not EVEN close. Literally, like 10 minutes after I finished writing last, the train screeched to a halt. For a split second, I actually thought we were there. I looked at James….and by the reaction on his face, I knew it wasn’t true.
There was a PA system on the monorail too…..I figured. I heard the little squawk they give, you know the one where they tell you a message is coming, but you have to wait a second? Yeah, that one.
“ATTENTION PASSENGERS,” the man voiced through the box.
“I am Adam Spriter….you thought you could trick me and get away from it. Now, I have hijacked this rail, and I’m going to ram it into the ocean…where it belongs!”
“Jason…come with me. Don’t speak,” Joey said.
I followed silently as he made his way to the front of the cabin.
“Ready to battle?” He said as he motioned toward me.
“Haven’t done that in awhile….but I am trained. Lets go,” I whispered back to him.
We burst through the door to find Spriter, who seemed ready for us.
“I knew you were coming….you’re looking for the same thing I am. Good thing you won’t be getting it!”
I saw him through the red pokeball as his lips finished saying that last word. Good thing too, for I would have thrown out mine quicker seeing that I’d done the same thing. I threw out Gengar, who was going to make quick work of whoever he sent out. What he sent out made me truly question his ability to breathe.
“Go Smeargle!” He yelled.
That’s right. Smeargle. The crappy painter Pokemon that can only copy other peoples moves. It wasn’t strong, but I was remembering why that Pokemon was made.
“Gengar use Psychic,” I asked to the ghost flying in the cabin.
“Smeargle, use Shadow Sneak and fast!”
He beat me to it…..and it actually did a ton of damage. I could tell Gengar was hurting. He was almost gone; I had to do something.
“Gengar, quick, use Flamethrower!”
“Smeargle, Aeroblast now!”
I was yet to launch an attack; the stupid Aeroblast…..I still don’t even know how he could use Aeroblast. I had to think…..
“I got it….come up behind Smeargle and when he turns around, Focus Blast!”
The plan worked perfectly…..you could tell Smeargle was NOT ready for that. He went down quick and hard.
“This isn’t over, Jason. Go Drifblim,” he spat as he raged with anger.
Great....at least we both had a type matchup.
“Gengar, Shadow Ball please.”
It was crazy; he just kind of absorbed the hit. It didn’t look hard at all either; he looked ready.
“Now, Drifblim use Ominous Wind.”
From what happened to me from the attack, I could tell you as soon as it hit me Gengar was done. It was like a chilling blast of evil; It made you just want to cry. I couldn’t have imagined, even now, what it did to him.
“Gengar, return.”
“Well, Jason, since Adam here took over our monorail; don’t you think its time to even the score? Go Tyranitar!”
Joey played with such love for what he was doing….I was just in awe. I have never seen him battle, but it was truly a sight to see.
“Go Salamence,” I ordered as I through out the Luxury ball.
“Salamence, Tyranitar ICE FANG!”
But that wasn’t me who gave that order; it was Joey. I was both encouraged and surprised about his knowledge of my Pokemon; guy truly did his homework.
Adam didn’t look good…..neither did Drifbilm either. They knew it was over……especially Adam. Drifbilm went down easily…..and Adam returned him. He just stood there and waited for us to finish what we wanted to do. There was no real escaping he could have done; it was the front of the monorail….he must have been a passenger. We took Adam, and tied him up with the ropes that he used to tie up the drivers…..they can’t carry Pokemon by the way. Oh, did I forget to mention they were tied up? Sorry, didn’t think it was that hard to imply, seeing the train stopped. I would have mentioned them in the battle, but it wasn’t about them.
The monorail started moving again, and I felt better. To know that we won, you know. Its like, I’ve been worried this whole time about our whole journey being ruined on the likes of Team Ruby…..it’s good to reassure yourself that you were picked for a reason. Adam was next to us…..but not for much longer. The monorail stopped again, at the nearest base for us to stop at. It was the Boston base…..we had to stop early because we needed to release Adam to the Base as a POW, and take necessary action for what was done. His Pokemon were taken away, and he was thrown in jail. That was the last I heard of Adam at this point in time.
After we situated Adam, we got back on the monorail and continued. I still didn’t know where we were going, but I got a better idea when I saw what the monorail was capable of. James told me it was designed specifically by Black Rayquaza, to be able to introduce a transit system for the alliance that was fast, and could go anywhere. I meant anywhere too. It was a magnificent sight. The rail just stopped, and we fell into the water. And the monorail began transforming. Each car separated, and because a submarine like figure. Since we were the only passengers on the Gold cart, we headed in a different direction then the others. They were probably headed for somewhere in what would be Europe….but we were headed to somewhere North of there.
About Thirty minutes later or so, we had arrived at our destination……we rose to the surface, and got out…..I couldn’t really tell where exactly we were.
I was thinking Russia but I thought wrong; it was a much colder place…..lets see if you could guess. It’s a very misleading name…..they say it’s green.
If you guessed Greenland, you’d be right. Well at least that’s what they said it was; more like decrepit cold, wasteland with an old little house in sight. That’s where we were heading. We decided to pop a tent for the night, and get over there in the morning. It was too late and too cold to venture on….so this is where I currently am writing this…..the sky is really amazing out here….I’ve never seen anything quite like it…..but it is time to be going to bed……
Sincerely,
Jason Viel

Chapter Six
September 2nd 2114
Snow…….its white and cold and fluffy. I heard of people who’ve never seen snow in their life……well I’ve seen more of it in the past two days then most people have, ever. Let me rewind….I know everyone’s just DIEING to hear what happened.
So like OMG, I was like at this like tent thing, and I was SO like FREAKING OUT because it was like SOOOOOO cold! Sorry, bout that, seeing if I could pull it off…..seems I can.
Let me start this off right….we left in while I was writing in the tent. At that point, it wasn’t THAT cold…overnight however…..that was a completely different story. I couldn’t sleep…..at all. I’ve been all over…but nowhere like this….its like a tundra…..x10. I couldn’t sleep….and neither could Joey. I went over to his tent…..to see if he was awake. They’re was a light on, and I could see him writing also. It was a letter….to Black Rayquaza…..I knocked…well you know…tapped….on the tent.
“Jason?” He asked while continuing to write.
“Yeeesss….,” I stammered. “Is it possible to venture into the house now?”
“Are you that cold?” he asked.
“Yes….I cannot sleep…..please?”
“Fine….we can venture tonight….but I’m afraid you might not like what you’re about to do…..you sure your ready?”
“I can do it….anything’s better than this.”
We started walking…..it wasn’t a horribly long walk….just a couple of miles. We came upon the great house….it was definitely old. It was great…..if you love old broken down houses. I still didn’t know why we were here. I walked up to the door.
“Jason…..If you want the way in….that’s not it,” he said.
“Then how do you get in?” I asked.
“Watch this.”
Joey went into the pocket of his Jacket, pulled out a dusk ball, and thrust it into the air.
“Go Blastoise! Jason, bring out your water pokemon….you do have a Red Gyarados right?”
“Yep! Go Gyarados!”
The two water pokemon were standing on land, as if they were waiting for something.
“Now watch this Jason…..get on Gyarados,” he said.
I got onto where I ride Gyarados…..
“Now take this,” he said as he gave me a silver envelope. “It’s a water suit, put it on.”
I couldn’t imagine how he meant that it was a water suit. I opened the envelope and it held a green ball….not a pokeball….but a green metal ball with a blue button. I pressed the button; a red water suit arose from the ball. It was a little small but after I put it on, it adjusted into the perfect fit. I must say I’ve never seen technology like this. James had a red ball which went into a green water suit.
Joey got onto his suit, and then he told me the instructions.
“Now….be ready to submerge when those doors open.”
I stood on Gyarados waiting…..then he commanded his Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon on the door. The door rushed open, and what I found was very…..well aquatic.
The house was filled with water. I couldn’t believe it. The biggest thing was….the water never left the house…..it was like bound by some kind of force.
“Jason….do you think you know why the water’s not moving?”
“I have no idea…..what?” I asked him.
“Well, as you’ve probably figured out, Black Rayquaza made this specifically. He channeled Alakazam’s Psychic energy to bind the water to the building. That way, people can’t just wait for the water to drain, and then go on. You have to go through the water. That’s where the water pokemon come in. Now, I have an idea where the passageway is. Put this helmet on.”
He gave me a helmet to put on….it had an airy sense to it, and had a microphone in it. I put it on, and he put an identical one on his own head.
“Now, can you hear me?” He spoke through the microphone and went into my helmet. They were like 2-way radios!
“Yeah,” I responded back to him.
“Now Jason, this helmet has an air producing system. It can take the water, and channel the air to from the water into the helmet so we can breathe. And then we can talk too….that way if we get separated….I can help you. Now were going to have to make our way through the house. We need to collect pieces of a golden pokeball amulet. There are 5 lost in the house. But there’s a catch…….the thing is, that water is colder than the snow out here. I told you you wouldn’t be happy with what was inside. It won’t be so bad with the suits on so don’t worry!”
Frankly, I was scared when I went into the water. It was weird….it just kind of sucked us in. I lost all feeling of being scared, when I came to the sick realization of how cold the water is. It was horrible. I felt like I was freezing right then and there. Joey, who must have been a natural swimmer because of the way he just flew through the water, had been looking crazily for a piece of the amulet with Blastoise following close behind.
“Jason….look upstairs……I’ll take the kitchen”
I swam to what looked to be the upstairs……I looked through the bedrooms and what looked to be a bathroom……I saw a toilet. I swam toward it, and opened the closed lid. I found a piece of the amulet!
“Joey, I found a piece!”
“Good, now we have three…..two more to go! Look up in the attic, I believe there might be one there….and I’ll go to the basement to see if I can try to find the final one.”
I was riding through the icy water with Gyarados, who was moving quite fast. The Attic was long and narrow……I had to leave Gyarados and swim through…..I cleared it a couple of times, and found a glimmer of gold in the left corner of the attic. I swam to it and grabbed it. One more!
“Joey, I’ve found the one in the attic….did you find the one in the basement?”
“Not yet, Jason,” He replied. “I’ve searched everywhere…..”
“Well keep looking….we’ll find it,” I said.
It was really the only thing we could do……I got back onto Gyarados, and I started coming down to the 1st level, when I see the piece on the roof of the house.
“Gyarados, up there,” I shouted.
Gyarados swam up to the roof and I jumped off and grabbed the piece.
“Joey, I have the rest, now what?”
“Meet me in the basement.”
I mounted myself back onto Gyarados and he took off toward the basement. I saw Joey waiting for me treading in a golden door with 5 slots, two of them being filled with golden pieces. I cam over to him and gave him the other three golden pieces. He pushed them into the slots.
“Return your Gyarados….the water will be gone in a second,” he said.
“Okay, Gyarados, thank you, return!”
Joey opened the door and waited as if he was waiting for something to happen. The Psychic energy holding the water in the house collapsed, and the water drained out the door into this large cave with very high ceilings. After the water was gone, the Pokeball pieces from the door came together, made the ball, and fell into the water. Then out of the pokeball came a bridge stretching over the water from the doorway from where we were in the house, to an elevator at the other side of the cave. That was where we needed to go. What I didn’t know what there was a slight problem. The key was in the ground that the water drained to.
We crossed the bridge to the other side, and one of us had to go down to get the key.
“I’ll go,” I volunteered. “I can use Salamence to fly down there then take out Gyarados and land on him. Then I’ll return Salamence, and go down into the water again.”
“There’s a slight problem,” Joey commented. “You remember how the water was bound in place by Psychic power…..well as you might have noticed, it’s free now…and these waters are very special. They were taken from a sea storm by Black Rayquaza himself. He could manipulate the rage of the water and multiplied it to make sure only the toughest could pass.”
“I can do it….Gyarados and I will get this key. Go Salamence!”
Salamence came out onto the bridge and I climbed on. I motioned to Joey to ride up too, and he followed. We flew to the other side, which was very long. I’d say a football field wide. Joey got off of Salamence, and gave me the “thumbs up” to go ahead.
“Go Gyarados!” I yelled as I threw the ball into the air. Gyarados landed in the water and I flew on Salamence and caught the luxury ball that was housing my water pokemon.
“Now Salamence, return,” I said as he was returning right under me….I fell into the water, where Gyarados came and got me. It was time.
The water wasn’t as cold here, so it was a little better in that respect. However, the waves were dark and raging….Gyarados couldn’t move. The waves had stopped him in his tracks.
“Gyarados, return!”
I knew I had to do this alone. I dove into the deep waters, and was just trying to swim against the water…..harder than it sounds. I got to the bottom, but didn’t see the key. Then I turned and saw it floating around the bottom about 50 yards away. I started to swim and the water took me….I was flown against the hard rock wall….after that I don’t remember much…….All I know is I saw a Blastoise grab me seconds before I passed out, and a man whose face I could recognize on any day grab the key I was so desperately longing.
I awoke a couple of hours later, to Joey standing over me compressing my chest….water was coming up. Supposedly I had drowned when the water forced me against the wall.
“It’s okay…..you’ll be fine Jason,” Joey said as he finished helping me cough up the excess water.
“Thanks…..can we open the door now?”
“Okay….lets open it….”
I took the key and sat up…..I walked over to where the elevator was and put the key into the hole. I heard the elevator “Ding” and we entered the elevator. This elevator was specifically different. It did not have any buttons, emergency levers, nothing. It just closed the door, and started moving downward. The door opened to find a room with a desk right in the middle and nothing else. There was a hallway that leaded to another series of rooms. This was it…..the underground city.
And this is where I must stop….as were too tired to even walk. I only have enough strength to write this down….but now we must rest, for we know there is much to come.
Sincerely,
Jason Viel.
End of Chapter Six
Chapter Seven
September 3rd 2114
I’m not sure what to say at this point…..were just kind of moving through this inch by inch. Right now were living in the underground city….and what a GREAT city this is. I figured out why I didn’t see anything/anyone…..because it was 4 AM and if anyone was there they would be sleeping.
I awoke to find someone staring over me…..but it wasn’t James.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Who are you??” the man asked.
“I was about to ask the same question…..I am Jason Viel….I’ve come with my friend Joey to find Black Rayquaza’s box.”
“Oh, so your one of the alliance then….welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay here….”
“So who are you?”
“Well it’s a long story…..I’m actually one of Black Rayquaza’s best friends…..well was. My name is George Rock IV. I’ve been down here for quite awhile…..but its okay because I can live for quite awhile thanks to B-Ray. You see, you’re very close to the box…..when he left he told me someone would come here with Joey and need the box. He told me to tell you some things about himself and the box. So here we go. Black Rayquaza was truly gifted as far as thinking….he said that if things got bad with Ruby, he would leave the Alliance for awhile, so that Ruby didn’t start a war to kill him. If Ruby killed Black Rayquaza, they’d own the Earth. That’s why he hid….he wasn’t scared…..but he knew he had to in order to keep hope and power in the Alliance. He asked me, the 2nd in command of the Alliance at the time, to help him construct a plan that the Alliance could only complete. They could only complete it because they wouldn’t be able to find the key….it was hidden in the National Headquarters. I’d like to see someone sneak into Black Rayquaza’s office, mess around with his computer, and take the key. Nearly impossible. I’ve been waiting for you to show up. Theres some information I’ve been asked to give you about the box. First of all, its not here……that would be too easy for Ruby so we didn’t choose to hide it here. Second of all, I have food and supplies for you here…..you can stay as long as you need to. That’s why I’m here…..B-Ray told me if anyone needed a rest and they were a true Alliance member, that this location could be used for a makeshift base. Third I have to give you these”…..he handed him 2 little boxes. “That is for you and Joey. They are life capsules. “
“Wha?” I asked.
“Let me explain. You see, 16 years ago, when Black Rayquaza first realized he had to go into hiding, he needed to rest assured he wouldn’t die hiding. Obviously, we all can realize why that’s not a good thing. So, he created a small organization of scientists and friends….only people he could trust. He put them to work on one of the biggest projects in Alliance history….a pill that would make you never die……but that’s impossible. This is a close second……you can only die one way…..but we wont get into that as its VERY VERY uncommon. Just take the pill, and all sickness, physical wounds, diseases, etc will disappear forever. There were only 7 made…..one for B-Ray, one for me, one for you and Joey, and one given to B-Rays cousin, Katie. The rest are hidden with the box…..we did this to ensure the human race’s survival. If Team Ruby wins the war…..they might try to blow up the Earth trying to find B-Ray. We took the pill….to always have a shot….to have a chance to fight back…..so that the Alliance will never die.”
“So can I take it now?” I asked.
“No….we need to prepare the formula first. You need to drink a special formula of herbs and plants to react with the pill to make it work. Lets go over to the kitchen and cook some up.”
We got up out of the room with the desk and ventured down that hallway I mentioned earlier. We went down past 12 doors, and George finally went into a room that resembled a modern kitchen. It had a sink, a big row of counters, a stove, a toaster, a microwave, with a little black coffee maker next to it. Lying in the far left corner, was the refrigerator. It was chrome with an ice maker inside the freezer door. Pretty Cool huh? George went over to the fridge and took out 4 oddly shaped plants. One was shaped like a star….one like the sun, the other like a circle, and one more shaped like a crescent moon.
“These plants were made to represent balance…..one is for the sun, one for the stars, one is for the Earth, and one for the moon,” George said.
“So what do you do with these?” I asked.
“Team Ruby would blend them….but that’s a trap. We actually have to use a move on it using a Pokemon.” George grabbed a pokeball from his tool belt and threw it into the kitchen.
“Go Gardevoir!” he shouted.
“Use Magical Leaf, then Psychic!”
Gardevoir sprang leaves of all colors, made them spin in a circle, and then added the plants. The Pokemon created a mixing bowl! Then the leaves that made the pot turned purple, and the plants were shredded. Then, they rose out of the pot, and were concentrated into the glass to form an orange liquid.
“Wow, that’s amazing” I applauded.
“Why thank you…..it was actually all B-Rays doing….he figured nobody in Team Ruby would have a Gardevoir with both of those moves…..and not many I know can do it like that. Anyways, drink up…..but not all of it, only Half. We have to save some for Joey”
I drank the orange liquid….it tasted like every fruit taste I could think of, combined….it wasn’t bad….but it definitely was pure. That’s the one thing I remember tasting the most. The mixture was so pure, full of life, it really just brightened the surroundings. So now I guess I’m never going to die…..
“Good….now that that’s all over I can give you some more instructions.” He told me.
“Black Rayquaza knew that you needed help…..so he provided it. Here is a something he told me to give to you…..even I haven’t seen it yet. He told me to save it for Jason…and then when the time arose, he would need it. Come with me……”
We walked back towards the way we originally were, and took a sharp left. We walked down another hall for a very short time and came across an old iron door. The ironic thing was it had no handles….it was a solid door. George took out a pocket knife from his pocket and carved the letters P M C onto it. The letters started glowing and below it a line was made from the glow. George wrote “Beyond all expectations” on the line…..the letters glowed green this time, and yet another line appeared. He drew his pocket knife and carved into the iron door How it used to be. The whole door flashed purple, then gold, then black. Then the door plunged into the ground and opened the room. This was a sight I will never forget…….and at that moment…….it seemed as if everything had been explained to me.
*End of Chapter Seven*
Chapter Eight
September 4th 2114
Black Rayquaza was a very smart man….but I knew nothing until I’ve seen this….it was unbelievable. It seemed he always knew what to do at the right time….what was in the room was simply amazing…..
The room was not at all like I expected. It wasn’t extravagant, but it was everything you could hope for. The walls were painted purple….with gold trim. Besides the color, the room was actually quite bare. The only things in it were a desk, a package sitting upon it, and a metal door off to the left.
We stood in awe at the room…..to imagine that we’d even gotten in was enough, but we couldn’t believe that this was what we were looking for. On the wall was a rather long letter….written in what seemed to be marker.
It read: Hello. I’m sorry to say that I am not here to greet you….weather you are good or evil. I’ve left……to go to where it is safe. When I was thinking of where I could go…..I found the right place where nobody would ever look to find me…..and if they did, they’d die as soon as they set foot there. Please open the package on the desk….its crucial to my survival.
-Black Rayquaza
We both started reading, and even though I finished reading before George, I still stood staring at the words……where did he go?
“Lets open the package,” Max said.
We walked over to the small package….it was incased in gold foil…..we opened it to find a box. This was black and hard unlike the foil. We took off the top to find a scrap of paper, a letter……and a pokeball.
“Letter first.” The scrap read.
We opened the letter…..it was written on what seemed to be silver paper…..with small little gold lines….we opened the letter and we were amazed.
September 21st 2100
Reader,
The world is not what it was. It’s funny how you think you’ve figured out how to make something foolproof, and then of course it becomes horrible. It happens…..it’s just a realization that people have to accept and get over. Some people have a hard time doing that. It is been awhile since I’ve seen anybody. I don’t mind it, or regret it, but it’s the truth. Things haven’t been the greatest in the past 10 years…..its been horrid. I didn’t cause it, nor influence it, but nonetheless it happened. Crazy how something like that can happen. Anyways, let me introduce myself…..not that it matters as nobody will probably find this, but I’m Andrew. If any human life form is reading this right now, congratulations. This means there must be survivors…..which are good. As of now, which is while I am writing this, I’m going to be saving my life. I’ve come to the conclusion that the world, Earth if I wasn’t specific enough, is not safe any longer, and it is crucial for my existence. This piece of writing is the last thing I will leave behind as a sign of my living being. Until I return, stay safe. And take this you’ll need it. I’m sure your not wondering what it is, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out. It is a pokeball…..since they are indestructible it should be around until someone finds this. Either you….or if there is no you, me. In the pokeball, you will find a rather rare pokemon; some may know it as Celebi. Ask it to take you 15 years into the past from the date I have written this. Meet me at the Empire State Building in New York City, USA, top floor. I was there that day…..I do not remember why. Maybe I was waiting for someone……anyways; I must end this letter now. Time is of the essence.
Sincerely,
-Black Rayquaza
PS: Bring this letter. And Celebi.
We both just looked at each other……he had left Earth?? This doesn’t make sense……Team Ruby tried to make a moon base….but soon abandoned the idea as it was impossible to live on the moon. I grabbed the pokeball….and Max just stared at it. It was a solid green colored ball, with a S engraved on the top.
“Go Celebi!” I yelled as I threw the green ball into the air.
The green Pokemon arose from the green light that came before it…..it was simply beautiful. It was bouncing through the air….just waiting for my next command.
“Celebi….we need to go into the past…..September 21st 2100. New York City.”
Celebi’s body flashed a bright yellow…..the whole room turned blue, then red….then we arose into a daze as we went through the years.
After a short period of time….our journey had ended. I was sitting in a bed, in what looked to be a hotel room. There was a bed beside mine, and George was sleeping in it as well. There was a window off to my right….I got up and looked through it. It was a raging city of colors and Pokemon flying recklessely upon it. The shops were filled with merchants and customers……the town was still very much alive from the last time I’ve seen it…..and I hope Black Rayquaza is the same.
*End of Chapter 8*
Chapter Nine
September 21st 2100
Well, I’ve officially made it into the past. Since I wasn’t alive at the time, I’ve just gotten settled here, and I must say the past is a heck of a lot better than the future. Things are joyous here…..there really aren’t many problems. I went for a walk outside…..the sidewalks are clean and shiny, the stores and flourishing with shoppers, and everything just seems brighter. The walk was great….people were friendly overall. I met some kids battling in the nearby school. The kids reminded me of my youth…..school always was fun. I returned to the Hotel, took the elevator and pushed the white 5 on the panel. The elevator quickly rose up, and in a minute the doors released and I walked out. This was a very nice hotel-The walls had pretty, green wallpaper with a nice stripe pattern. The floors were in a black fabric and softened the force of your foot when walking. The Ice machine was in the room next to the elevator and as I went that way I heard some commotion in Room 503 as I passed.
“No, I will NOT move to Boston,” the women screamed.
“Honey, you know we need this job. Mr. Brinker has offered double the salary I’m making at the Alliance base…..he said we could have full benefits and everything. We can finally take that vacation to Hawaii you wanted.” the man replied.
“I won’t…..the Alliance means way to much to this family. How could you even think of betraying Andrew. He believed in you…..he made you, Tom. If you quit your job, I’m leaving you and taking John with me. Andrew can get me a job as a receptionist.”
“Fine then….I’ll e-mail you the divorce papers.”
At that point, the door opened and a tall, stocky, guy walked out of the room. His face was red with anger as he stormed off and hit the elevator button. He opened what looked to be a cell phone….although as soon as I knew what those were, they were replaced with our Alliance Messengers. For some reason, I could hear both sides of the conversation.
“Hello?” the man on the other end answered.
“Hi, it’s me. I’ve decided to take your generous offer and move to Boston. Unfortunately, my soon to be ex-wife and child wont be joining me.”
“Ah, well I’m very sorry you had to do that. Don’t worry, once our little project is done, she’ll come CRAWLING back.”
“Sounds fair…..thank you Brian.”
“Welcome to Team Ruby, Mr. Spriter”
Whoa. Wait a minute….that guy on the phone was Mr. Spriter?? It wasn’t Adam, though. It was most likely his father…or grandfather even. I was still in shock I’ve heard of someone this early. From what I heard, Team Ruby is just starting up. I continued thinking until I reached Room 223. To my surprise, the door was open.
I walked into the suite to find George making what looked to be Egg’s and Bacon on the stove. He was standing tall, with his long black hair and white hotel robe.
“Well, I see you’ve awoke George,” I said.
He jumped.
“Whoa….you scared me there. Yes, I did wake. We made it! I’m glad you’re here…..I thought you didn’t make it for a second….I left the door open just in case….I see you forgot your room key.”
I looked at the coffee table in the living room….two room keys were sitting on the table.
“Yeah, wasn’t thinking about that….anyways, now that were here….what do we do?”
“We have to get to the Empire State Building….and quick. I have a feeling Black Rayquaza won’t be there for long.”
“Oh by the way…..did I tell you that before I made it to you in Greenland, I was met on the train by Adam Spriter?”
“No you didn’t…..I guess you and James handled him all right. I imagine it would have been hard….he’s very well trained. His family comes from a long line of Team Ruby soldiers. His great grandfather helped Brian start Team Ruby.”
“I know……I’ve just seen his great grandfather. He just went down to the lobby.”
“What? You’re telling me, you just saw Tom Spriter in the hall there?”
“Yeah….he just left his wife….and then called Brian and told him all about it. Supposedly he’s moving to Boston to help Brian start Team Ruby.”
“This is bad, Jason….we need to talk to Black Rayquaza and quick. This is actually important.”
At this point, George took the bacon and eggs off the pans, put them onto a silver plate and ran into the bathroom. A second later, I heard the shower water running. I took the plate and dug in…..he was a very good cook. I remember that he was a chef before Black Rayquaza met him…..thank you very much Alliance History 1. I got an A- in that class.
Some time passed as I was eating my breakfast. I decided to turn on the TV. I changed the channel to the news channel. I didn’t believe what I was hearing.
“Authorities say Brian Winter, a rebel who escaped from the Alliance just weeks ago, is STILL at large. The man who had swore to take revenge on not only the Alliance, but the world is now #1 on the World’s most wanted list. We’ll keep you updated on this story as more news comes in. Back to you Scott.”
The woman’s picture faded into the news desk of the man, who was talking about how the Miami Dolphins were once again the best team in Football, becoming 20-0 last season, beating the previous record held by the New England Patriots since 2008. But I had no time for football….we had a crisis on our hands. Luckily, we had someone we knew who could fix it. I heard the bathroom door open, and in a cloud of smoke George appeared in a black pinstripe suit, white shirt, and red tie. He completely outdid me…who was only wearing the Red Jumpsuit I had worn 14 years past now.
“Here,” George said as he handed me a hanger with a white suit.
I went into the foggy bathroom and changed quickly. I emerged back through the door and quickly showed George the news reel I had just seen. Thanks to DVR, which has been around FOREVER, he saw what I did. He just stood there in awe as if everything were put together.
“We need to get to Black Rayquaza now,” was all he said.
We both got up off the couch and grabbed our coats and shoes. We left the hotel and hailed a cab. We had to as we had no idea where the Empire State Building was….
“The Empire State Building please,” I said to the driver.
The Cab sped up and made a quick right turn. We went down a couple of blocks and made a quick left. At that point we could see it towering over everything in the sky. There it was.
We pulled up to the tall building and the man held his hand out, expecting money…..the meter said $6.44 in L.E.D lights…..but we didn’t have any money….we only had Alliance points, which became the official currency of most of the world by 2109. George and I quickly looked at each other, and recognized what we were gonna do. I quickly slapped his hand as to give him a Hi-Five, opened the door and ran into the building. I ran up to the receptionist.
“Hello….what are you looking for?” The woman asked.
“Hi, I need to know what floor Black Rayquaza is currently at,” I replied.
“I'm sorry, there is no Black Rayquaza on my list,”
George looked at the woman, and then looked at me like I was some dumb person.
“Hi, I'm looking for Andrew Abad please…..sorry my friends a little under the weather,” George told the woman.
“OH...,” she said. “Mr. Abad is currently on the top floor…he had it reserved for today. He said he was expecting some visitors later….well just go through the elevator there and push the green button.”
“Thank you,” I told her.
We went over to the metal elevators and pushed the button. The doors opened familiar to the one’s I saw before at the hotel. We entered and George pushed the green button. The Elevator quickly rocketed up and stopped to a halt. The door opened and I saw something I was not very pleased about. Tom Spriter was standing over Black Rayquaza who was tied in a chair…..

Sincerely,
-Black Rayquaza
PS: Bring this letter. And Celebi.
Chapter One
August 19th 2114
I don’t have much time to write, but I figure I must. It is my duty. My Name is Jason Viel. I am a General in the Alliance of the Pokemon Masters as of now, but I’m sorry to say it looks like were losing the war. I should probably explain this from the beginning. Allright, here we go.
Pokemon actually started as a video game, but that was long ago. About 45 years after the first game came out; a team of Creature Scientists were paid a large sum of money to start on a top secret project, to make Pokemon real. We only know that the project was finished 5 years later, and our one leader, who still was leader until about 15 years ago, Black Rayquaza, was creating Pokemon. The first one he created was an Abra. We all know that was his prized possession. It was perfect. In fact, it soon evolved into an Alakazam. And that was the first Pokemon ever made. Then, he started giving his leaders their favorite Pokemon as presents, and told them not to say anything about it. He would unleash Pokemon on the world when the time was ready for them. I actually received a Snorlax from him……it was amazing. Black Rayquaza was a great leader…..but he wasn’t a very powerful one. He believed in winning wars by strategy not power. Making allies as much as possible, and being nice to those who were his enemies. The way he created it, each person was meant to have 3 pokemon each, no exceptions. You could go to him and exchange one of your pokemon for another, but ONLY ONCE. It was a great idea…..but like most great ideas, it went horribly wrong. As soon as he started releasing pokemon to the soldiers in his army he wasn’t too sure about, that’s when it got bad. One soldier, I’ll never forget his name. Brian. He signed up, and seemed a good soldier, like he had been trained before to fight. He was also a very smart person. Black Rayquaza caught quick eye of him, and warned us that he might not be here to fight. He sent the leaders up for a conference, and then invited Brian up. He gave him a Blaziken, which was Brian’s favorite pokemon. That was the worst mistake of the entire Alliance. He quickly quit the army, and went to the same scientists that Black Rayquaza hired. He asked for the secret to building pokemon, and when the refused, he threw his Blaziken and made them. Then, he started our rival, Team Ruby. He didn’t see the danger of not limiting pokemon to people, and gave them what ever they wanted. He mass-produced pokemon by the thousands. This is what started the war. Since he had more pokemon at his disposal than us, we were bound to lose, unless we trained very well. Black Rayquaza was the person for that. He set up multiple harsh training facilities, and we were winning the war by a landslide….until one day Black Rayquaza disappeared. There was a rumor going around that he left a note with instructions on where to find him…..and that is where my job kicks in. I’m ordered to find the secret note of Black Rayquaza and retrieve our lost leader to win the war and save the Earth. No pressure right?
It’s been 2 years since I’ve started this journey, and I’ve gotten nowhere. I have an idea to go and look in his childhood home, so that is where I’m off to next. I’ve looked everywhere else…..millions of cupboards, desk drawers, offices, etc. I should be there soon…..I’m flying by Salamence, over what used to be New York City now. What used to be the city that never sleeps is now the city that ALWAYS sleeps. It is controlled by Team Ruby. Each soldier is armed with microphones and when they press play, the move Hypnosis is used. They have special earphones to block out the sound, as I do now, as I’ve taken during battle. It’s quiet up in the air over here….I like it. If you go to where Africa used to be, it’s a mess. People are airborne on all flying types imaginable firing Flamethrowers and Ice Beams at each other. What a battle that is to see. Anyways, hopefully when I get there, I can find some clues to where he went. Well, I’m at least in Michigan now. I can see a few bases of The Masters and Team Ruby over the distance. I know that was the first place he built a base. Right outside of Detroit, which is the most dangerous city in the US. When his leaders asked him why, he just replied that it was of personal importance. I got it! It has to be in the base. I land on the roof and returned my Salamence. Now it’s the moment of truth.
The base was different than any other. The colors were Gold and Purple, which are Black Rayquaza’s colors not the Alliance [which is Red, Black, White, and Blue] and it was decorated with things from before. Like pictures of great Jazz performers of the 1940’s-1970’s. That was way before my time but not before Black Rayquaza’s. We still don’t know the secret as to how he lives so long. He doesn’t age. Ever since he got to the age that he was happy, he just stopped. And that’s why its one of the greatest mysteries the world shares. People have been trying things to make them live forever, but he’s the only proof of it really. That’s why we believe that he’s still alive. That’s why I’m sent to do this; I feel it is my destiny. Well, this is where I must end, as something seems to be happening around here and I cannot write any longer.
Sincerely,
Jason Viel

Chapter Two
August 26th 2114
Well, I’m happy to be writing again….it stresses my mind from all that’s going on…..not to mention I get paid for it. Anyways, a lot has happened in the past week. Not bad things, but just stuff. This is by far the busiest base I’ve been to. I’ve been getting myself acquainted with the members here, who all have seen to have known Black Rayquaza personally. I never figured that the leader of the whole alliance would take the time to come over to the rinky base and get to know everyone. I guess it could just explain what kind of person he is. I’ve gotten to ask some questions about him here, and I’ve gotten some nice answers. A Couple people remember being in the original Pokemon Masters clan before Pokemon became real….they always mentioned how he’d try new things, but there wasn’t enough member support. I can understand that. I’ve been looking around for the letter, in small holes and dark rooms around the base. I went into his office, I wasn’t surprised he still had one, everyone knew he was alive, so they would expect his return. Nobody’s been allowed in there except me, and one more person, the Temporary Leader Joey. He dusts the immaculate office weekly, when he comes here to check on things. I saw some pictures on the wall of himself and Alakazam and Togekiss as well as his other Pokemon. I went over to the large desk. It was a Gold-colored Metal and felt oddly warm when I put my hands on it. I sat down into the Black leather Chair and booted up his computer. I figured he may have left a rough copy of the note saved on his hard drive. I opened the desk drawer. There were pictures of him and his mother who he always talked about. I looked on the back of one of the pictures…it was him and his mother at his college graduation. It read, If you’re looking for it, its not here. If you need to find it, then it is. –Black Rayquaza
“That’s Odd” I thought to myself…..why would he give a riddle if he went into hiding. Obviously there must be some clue on the computer. I looked at his pictures. Again, pictures of his mother and sister, and some Trainer Passes he’s crafted on the computer over the years. He’s always been into making those; he even made them our Identification system. But these did not have the barcode on them. It said Black Rayquaza on it, and had his Pokemon. Then it has the weird number and info, probably about his game. No one really knows what happened to his original DS Games….some people think Joey has them, and some people think its locked in a vault. Then I came across a weird folder. It said DON’T OPEN UNLESS I'm GONE/DEAD. So I opened it. Incased was an Mp3 Sound File…..I turned up the speakers and opened the file. It was a sound clip of him saying, Name: Black Rayquaza Password: open the vault already.
Just then, the picture of him and Alakazam burst into Flames, and melted. Behind it there was a hole in the wall. I got up, still shocked by the sudden combustion, and went to look in the hole. There was something hidden in it. It was a Gold key and a note. Ask Joey.
At that point my 2 year journey hit the turning point. I needed to find Joey and fast. I went to the front desk.
“Excuse me, miss. Could you tell me where Temporary Leader Joey is stationed?”
“Why yes….he is stationed at our LA base. Would you like to video call him?”
“Yes, please. Call his Trainer ID. Tell him I need him transferred here immediately.”
“Take a seat and I will call you up with your answer shortly.”
“Thank you”
The waiting room was full of trainers waiting to sign up, or soldiers looking for a brother to call, or people waiting to clock out. I saw kids waiting for their first Pokemon.
“Jason! I have your reply”
“Great….so what did he say?” I asked.
“He said that he was pretty busy and that if there wasn’t a great reason that he would not make the trip”
“Tell him I found the key.”
“Very Well….you may have a seat.”
I sat down the in waiting room, yet another time, and waited for the reply.
“Jason! He wants to talk to you directly” She mentioned over to me frantically for me to hurry over.
“Okay……Hello?” I voiced into the pass device that was used as a phone.
“Jason, this is Joey. Alexis says you’ve found the key. Is this true”
“Yes sir. I went on his computer and opened the sound file. Then the picture blew up.”
“About time someone figured that out. Trust me. I’ve been trying to find that key for ages.” He said.
“Well do you know what it goes to?” I asked.
“Yes…..but that box is locked away in a safe in The Alliance National Headquarters in Chicago.”
“Well can I meet you there?”
“My thoughts exactly, Greetz!”
“Bye.”
At that point things were good…..I’ve never been to National HQ before…..B-Ray himself helped build it. So I packed up my things and was about to leave until I hear a message over the PA system the base has installed.
“ATTENTION” the PA Rang. “The Alliance National HQ in Chicago was broken into earlier today. They stole a precious box that was very important to Black Rayquaza. The Team Ruby General who stole it whose name is reportedly Adam Spriter is in hot pursuit by the Alliance Guard. We will let you know more of the situation as it occurs. That is all”
At this point, I realized that they stole the box….that’s not good. Well I’m on my way to Chicago to meet Joey…..so I have to stop writing for today.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER TWO
Chapter Three
August 28th 2114
Well I’ve arrived in Chicago. I’m not exactly happy with being here…..I view it as a complete waste. All I'm here for is to meet Joey, and hopefully by then we will have gotten the box back from this Adam guy. Let me inform you on what went on the in past few days. I wasn’t able to write while flying to Chicago…..when someone steals something valuable from The Alliance……we go after them. They’re swarms of Alliance members flying toward Spriter. So traffic was bad….like they say, gotta keep your eyes on the road…..well air, in this case. When I got there it was a mess……our Armies main Calvary was down there playing damage control. I flew down….and kind of hovered on Salamence until I saw the huge red letters on the biggest building in the city…..PMC NATIONAL HQ it read. I still don’t see why we made it that obvious.
Anyways, I entered the building to see a ton of people! A man in a dark blue suit rushed up to me.
“Jason?’ the man asked.
“You’re Joey, right” I replied
“Yes….lets go to my office seeing that the box is gone.”
We made our way to the golden elevators…..Joey pushed the pokeball button and the door opened. He clicked the 24 on the keypad, and the elevator went up.
“This building is a spectacular engineering feat! Build by one of our greatest…..George Rock IV. He was an amazing engineer….he was one of Black Rayquaza’s closest friends…..as was I. Black Rayquaza told me that when he created the first Pokemon, he went to George’s hometown…and looked him up. I don’t recall how he knew him…I think he met him online or something. Anyways, so there’s a little history lesson for you.” Joey said.
The elevator’s doors separated, and we walked out. We went down a maze of halls, and then Joey finally stopped and spoke aloud; “Greetz”
The door opened, and he walked in….I followed closely behind. It looked similar to Black Rayquaza’s office in Detroit. It was big….nice gold desk with a computer….the walls were a brownish sort of color, with a big window, and there were two red chairs facing opposite James, who was seated in a Brown chair.
“Please, sit down,” James said.
I sat down in the chair to the right…..and took a quick glance out the window….what a view even from the 24th floor.
“I have 1 bit of good news and 2 bits of bad news…which would you like?”
“I’ll take the one of the bad news,” I replied.
I figured I mine as well hear the bad news and get that out of the way….he’s just probably gonna tell me how important that box is.
“Okay….the bad news is….that box that Adam Spriter stole…is very important.”
See, I TOTALLY CALLED that one….easy enough.
“Oh, I see….,” I replied. “So what’s the good news?”
“That box he stole….was a fake. He’ll think he really got it, and he’ll probably get fired for taking the wrong one,” he chuckled.
It was quite ingenious….they think they’ve got the upper hand, and then POOF! Its gone.
“So then what’s the other bad news??” I asked him.
“Well….we only had one copy left…..now its all or nothing,” he said.
So that was good I guess……at least Joey still knows where the real box is.
“You see….the real box has been hidden for quite some time….even I only know rough directions………but we hid the fake to divert them until someone found the key. So we need to hurry….but first I’d like to share with you some history about the war……it seems like you don’t know much of the situation. We’re not actually IN WAR now….people are fighting….but were not sending troops there. We met them started a few fights that are just still going on. Its like a cold war….nobody’s moving, but its still fighting. But that’s no excuse to say that its not a war….because a war it is. Team Ruby needs to be stopped, and were the only ones to do it. We really haven’t done much on advancing on them since Black Rayquaza left….that is where you come in. You’re the chosen one….by him…that if anything went wrong, like it did, and he needed to leave, you were the only one who could get him. I can help, but that’s it. He wrote the plan down….in a letter. The letter is hidden somewhere……were pretty sure that a clue to where it’s hidden is in that box. The letter might even be inside the box….we don’t know. All we know is B-Ray said for the safety of the people, this must be hidden. It was actually a good move by him….he knew that Team Ruby would stop at nothing to get their hands on him….Black Rayquaza’s powerful….and may be able to live forever….but he’s not INVINCABLE….he can be hurt….he can be captured….etc. They want him…..he’s their prized goal…..that’s what this war is about. Brian…..wants the glory. That’s why he quit the alliance…..let me tell you about it…..since you were only a soldier at the time and you were in California you probably wouldn’t know the whole story….would you?”
“No….please tell,” I replied.
“Allright then…..it was 2092……we were building our alliance rapidly at that point…..getting a ton of new recruits each day. One day, Brian showed up…a boy of about 15….but he was far superior to any of the new recruits we had seen. He would train harder, longer, and prove to be the top of his class. When B-Ray decided to give him his Pokemon, it looked to be a great day….we were even thinking of making him a general. He took his Blaziken, said thanks, and ran out the door. He booked a plane to Asia, and that was the last we saw of him till 2097. Then he began building HIS Empire talking about world domination and how it was so close…..he said Pokemon were the key. He took our scientists secrets and started mass producing Pokemon. Then he declared war on us…..and started attacking. We were winning….until our spies told us some info. They said that Team Ruby was preparing to send Snipers to our bases to eliminate Black Rayquaza and fledge full domination while our alliance was de-moralized. They said they figured out how he was still living, and they could stop it. So Black Rayquaza really had no choice….he was forced out…..into hiding. People’s hopes are alive…that’s what counts though. As long as hope is still there, our alliance will never die. Well, we made a plan. You know how not all Pokemon from the original games were created…..because of their danger to society?”
“Yeah….all the legendaries right?” I asked.
“That’s correct,” he replied.
“Well…..we did recreate one legendary…..just one. Black Rayquaza said that it’s the most important to the world’s survival. It was called Celebi. That Pokemon is with the letter…..well be needing it according to Black Rayquaza,” James said. “Now you understand why they want the letter as much as us…..they want Celebi more….they want to be able to find Black Rayquaza, and destroy him.”
“There’s a room next to this one….its yours. Open the door and lock it…..I’ll wake you in the morning,” James said.
“Goodnight.”
So that’s what happened…….well….I'm tired…..long day tomorrow…..sure to be fun. Not sure when I’ll be able to write next…..but I’ll be sure to recap if its awhile.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER THREE
Chapter Four
August 30th 2114
Sorry for not writing last night……really didn’t have time. A lot has happened. Let me fill you in on what’s happening.
I woke up to a loud siren….it was still dark out. If I were to take a guess it would have been around three AM…..I had just fallen asleep when I finished writing at two. I immediately got up, got my stuff together, and prepared for the worst. I put on my battle gear, and waited at the door to see what was happening. A quick knock would have been nice, but obviously that didn’t happen. Joey almost knocked off the door because he couldn’t get in fast enough.
“Jason….we have a problem.”
“I noticed by the siren….what’s going on?
“Just a couple of minutes ago, Team Ruby declared war on the alliance. Were drafting and deploring people to the eastern part of the country. This is it….the all out battle we were trying to prevent.”
I could see the look of hatred towards Team Ruby on his face….he was deeply moved by this.
“Are we going into battle?” I asked.
“No….we are going to battle….but not in that war. You know are task don’t you?”
“I think so…..we need the box….but how does that involve battling?”
“Well…...”he replied. “I forgot to mention this last night….but there’s a problem. I know where the box is….but it’s guarded heavily. Guess who is guarding it,” Joey said.
“Is it Team Ruby?”
“Of coarse not…..why would they try to steal it from us if they had it? It’s located in an ancient city located someone unknown. You have to enter through underwater. On top of that, the city is guarded by a series of traps and a rather unpleasant Kraken.”
“Aren’t those huge legendary sea-monsters?”
“Yes…aren’t easy to kill either. Their only weak spot is its Tail. Anyways, the time is now…..we need to find it as quick as possible. We both know that Team Ruby Is going to stop at nothing to win this war. Our only hope is this box.”
“Then the decision is made….lets go,” I said.
We hurried back to our rooms and packed and then met each other at the lobby.
“Ah, there you are,” Joey said waiting for me.
“Let’s go….are we going to fly?”
“Ah not this time Jason, there’s too many Rubies in the sky hungering to pick off a General of the Alliance flying by. I have a faster, safer method. Come with me.”
We walked out of the building….it was windy….after all we were in the Windy City. We walked a couple blocks and then into a building that I didn’t know. It was small on the first floor with a desk to the right, and some stairs down the hall.
“Hello Edward,” Joey told the person at the desk.
“Oh, didn’t expect to see you there, good to see you Uncle Joey!”
“Well, have a good day!”
“You, too Uncle Joey”
Joey started walking down the hall and I followed. We walked down the stairs I saw on the way in, even though it went a lot further down than I expected. What I saw I couldn’t believe.
It was like a city…..except it was full of Alliance guys. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I suppose Joey could read the look on my face.
“This is the real national headquarters…..did you really think the office building/hotel is really going to house weapons, testing, soldiers, and Pokemon, as well as training facilities?”
“Guess not,” I said.
It was amazing. I wish I could have taken a picture to remember it. It was the mainframe of the entire Alliance. There were marts giving weapons, and battle arenas, as well trading centers, little Pokemon Centers*, and the most important part of the HQ….a HUGE subway running from here, to who knows where. I knew that was what we’d be traveling on.
“Well here it is….may I present to you, The Alliance’s main transportation system. It’s powered by the move Teleport. We channeled Ralts and Abra’s Psychic power, by their request of course.”
“Cool,” I said. “So when can we leave?”
“Right now….follow me”
We walked around the station for a little, and the receptionist gave us two passes for the monorail. We saw it stop, and hurried up to catch it. There were three passenger cars. There was a blue car, the caboose of the vehicle, which soldiers were boarding. There was also a black car, for higher class soldiers and important people from the Alliance. Then there was one more car, the gold car, that looked to be towards the front.
“Which one are we going on?” I asked.
“Why the gold one of coarse….Black Rayquaza’s special missions even now get the utmost attention.”
I have to admit it was the nicest ride I’ve ever had….it was very quiet and exciting at the same time. And this is where we lie as I’m writing this…not knowing where we’ll end up. Good thing the iPod has a good battery life….I have a feeling this is going to be awhile.
Sincerely,
-Jason Viel
END OF CHAPTER FOUR
Chapter Five
September 1st 2114
Well, I have some good news. It wasn’t as long as I thought. Not EVEN close. Literally, like 10 minutes after I finished writing last, the train screeched to a halt. For a split second, I actually thought we were there. I looked at James….and by the reaction on his face, I knew it wasn’t true.
There was a PA system on the monorail too…..I figured. I heard the little squawk they give, you know the one where they tell you a message is coming, but you have to wait a second? Yeah, that one.
“ATTENTION PASSENGERS,” the man voiced through the box.
“I am Adam Spriter….you thought you could trick me and get away from it. Now, I have hijacked this rail, and I’m going to ram it into the ocean…where it belongs!”
“Jason…come with me. Don’t speak,” Joey said.
I followed silently as he made his way to the front of the cabin.
“Ready to battle?” He said as he motioned toward me.
“Haven’t done that in awhile….but I am trained. Lets go,” I whispered back to him.
We burst through the door to find Spriter, who seemed ready for us.
“I knew you were coming….you’re looking for the same thing I am. Good thing you won’t be getting it!”
I saw him through the red pokeball as his lips finished saying that last word. Good thing too, for I would have thrown out mine quicker seeing that I’d done the same thing. I threw out Gengar, who was going to make quick work of whoever he sent out. What he sent out made me truly question his ability to breathe.
“Go Smeargle!” He yelled.
That’s right. Smeargle. The crappy painter Pokemon that can only copy other peoples moves. It wasn’t strong, but I was remembering why that Pokemon was made.
“Gengar use Psychic,” I asked to the ghost flying in the cabin.
“Smeargle, use Shadow Sneak and fast!”
He beat me to it…..and it actually did a ton of damage. I could tell Gengar was hurting. He was almost gone; I had to do something.
“Gengar, quick, use Flamethrower!”
“Smeargle, Aeroblast now!”
I was yet to launch an attack; the stupid Aeroblast…..I still don’t even know how he could use Aeroblast. I had to think…..
“I got it….come up behind Smeargle and when he turns around, Focus Blast!”
The plan worked perfectly…..you could tell Smeargle was NOT ready for that. He went down quick and hard.
“This isn’t over, Jason. Go Drifblim,” he spat as he raged with anger.
Great....at least we both had a type matchup.
“Gengar, Shadow Ball please.”
It was crazy; he just kind of absorbed the hit. It didn’t look hard at all either; he looked ready.
“Now, Drifblim use Ominous Wind.”
From what happened to me from the attack, I could tell you as soon as it hit me Gengar was done. It was like a chilling blast of evil; It made you just want to cry. I couldn’t have imagined, even now, what it did to him.
“Gengar, return.”
“Well, Jason, since Adam here took over our monorail; don’t you think its time to even the score? Go Tyranitar!”
Joey played with such love for what he was doing….I was just in awe. I have never seen him battle, but it was truly a sight to see.
“Go Salamence,” I ordered as I through out the Luxury ball.
“Salamence, Tyranitar ICE FANG!”
But that wasn’t me who gave that order; it was Joey. I was both encouraged and surprised about his knowledge of my Pokemon; guy truly did his homework.
Adam didn’t look good…..neither did Drifbilm either. They knew it was over……especially Adam. Drifbilm went down easily…..and Adam returned him. He just stood there and waited for us to finish what we wanted to do. There was no real escaping he could have done; it was the front of the monorail….he must have been a passenger. We took Adam, and tied him up with the ropes that he used to tie up the drivers…..they can’t carry Pokemon by the way. Oh, did I forget to mention they were tied up? Sorry, didn’t think it was that hard to imply, seeing the train stopped. I would have mentioned them in the battle, but it wasn’t about them.
The monorail started moving again, and I felt better. To know that we won, you know. Its like, I’ve been worried this whole time about our whole journey being ruined on the likes of Team Ruby…..it’s good to reassure yourself that you were picked for a reason. Adam was next to us…..but not for much longer. The monorail stopped again, at the nearest base for us to stop at. It was the Boston base…..we had to stop early because we needed to release Adam to the Base as a POW, and take necessary action for what was done. His Pokemon were taken away, and he was thrown in jail. That was the last I heard of Adam at this point in time.
After we situated Adam, we got back on the monorail and continued. I still didn’t know where we were going, but I got a better idea when I saw what the monorail was capable of. James told me it was designed specifically by Black Rayquaza, to be able to introduce a transit system for the alliance that was fast, and could go anywhere. I meant anywhere too. It was a magnificent sight. The rail just stopped, and we fell into the water. And the monorail began transforming. Each car separated, and because a submarine like figure. Since we were the only passengers on the Gold cart, we headed in a different direction then the others. They were probably headed for somewhere in what would be Europe….but we were headed to somewhere North of there.
About Thirty minutes later or so, we had arrived at our destination……we rose to the surface, and got out…..I couldn’t really tell where exactly we were.
I was thinking Russia but I thought wrong; it was a much colder place…..lets see if you could guess. It’s a very misleading name…..they say it’s green.
If you guessed Greenland, you’d be right. Well at least that’s what they said it was; more like decrepit cold, wasteland with an old little house in sight. That’s where we were heading. We decided to pop a tent for the night, and get over there in the morning. It was too late and too cold to venture on….so this is where I currently am writing this…..the sky is really amazing out here….I’ve never seen anything quite like it…..but it is time to be going to bed……
Sincerely,
Jason Viel

Chapter Six
September 2nd 2114
Snow…….its white and cold and fluffy. I heard of people who’ve never seen snow in their life……well I’ve seen more of it in the past two days then most people have, ever. Let me rewind….I know everyone’s just DIEING to hear what happened.
So like OMG, I was like at this like tent thing, and I was SO like FREAKING OUT because it was like SOOOOOO cold! Sorry, bout that, seeing if I could pull it off…..seems I can.
Let me start this off right….we left in while I was writing in the tent. At that point, it wasn’t THAT cold…overnight however…..that was a completely different story. I couldn’t sleep…..at all. I’ve been all over…but nowhere like this….its like a tundra…..x10. I couldn’t sleep….and neither could Joey. I went over to his tent…..to see if he was awake. They’re was a light on, and I could see him writing also. It was a letter….to Black Rayquaza…..I knocked…well you know…tapped….on the tent.
“Jason?” He asked while continuing to write.
“Yeeesss….,” I stammered. “Is it possible to venture into the house now?”
“Are you that cold?” he asked.
“Yes….I cannot sleep…..please?”
“Fine….we can venture tonight….but I’m afraid you might not like what you’re about to do…..you sure your ready?”
“I can do it….anything’s better than this.”
We started walking…..it wasn’t a horribly long walk….just a couple of miles. We came upon the great house….it was definitely old. It was great…..if you love old broken down houses. I still didn’t know why we were here. I walked up to the door.
“Jason…..If you want the way in….that’s not it,” he said.
“Then how do you get in?” I asked.
“Watch this.”
Joey went into the pocket of his Jacket, pulled out a dusk ball, and thrust it into the air.
“Go Blastoise! Jason, bring out your water pokemon….you do have a Red Gyarados right?”
“Yep! Go Gyarados!”
The two water pokemon were standing on land, as if they were waiting for something.
“Now watch this Jason…..get on Gyarados,” he said.
I got onto where I ride Gyarados…..
“Now take this,” he said as he gave me a silver envelope. “It’s a water suit, put it on.”
I couldn’t imagine how he meant that it was a water suit. I opened the envelope and it held a green ball….not a pokeball….but a green metal ball with a blue button. I pressed the button; a red water suit arose from the ball. It was a little small but after I put it on, it adjusted into the perfect fit. I must say I’ve never seen technology like this. James had a red ball which went into a green water suit.
Joey got onto his suit, and then he told me the instructions.
“Now….be ready to submerge when those doors open.”
I stood on Gyarados waiting…..then he commanded his Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon on the door. The door rushed open, and what I found was very…..well aquatic.
The house was filled with water. I couldn’t believe it. The biggest thing was….the water never left the house…..it was like bound by some kind of force.
“Jason….do you think you know why the water’s not moving?”
“I have no idea…..what?” I asked him.
“Well, as you’ve probably figured out, Black Rayquaza made this specifically. He channeled Alakazam’s Psychic energy to bind the water to the building. That way, people can’t just wait for the water to drain, and then go on. You have to go through the water. That’s where the water pokemon come in. Now, I have an idea where the passageway is. Put this helmet on.”
He gave me a helmet to put on….it had an airy sense to it, and had a microphone in it. I put it on, and he put an identical one on his own head.
“Now, can you hear me?” He spoke through the microphone and went into my helmet. They were like 2-way radios!
“Yeah,” I responded back to him.
“Now Jason, this helmet has an air producing system. It can take the water, and channel the air to from the water into the helmet so we can breathe. And then we can talk too….that way if we get separated….I can help you. Now were going to have to make our way through the house. We need to collect pieces of a golden pokeball amulet. There are 5 lost in the house. But there’s a catch…….the thing is, that water is colder than the snow out here. I told you you wouldn’t be happy with what was inside. It won’t be so bad with the suits on so don’t worry!”
Frankly, I was scared when I went into the water. It was weird….it just kind of sucked us in. I lost all feeling of being scared, when I came to the sick realization of how cold the water is. It was horrible. I felt like I was freezing right then and there. Joey, who must have been a natural swimmer because of the way he just flew through the water, had been looking crazily for a piece of the amulet with Blastoise following close behind.
“Jason….look upstairs……I’ll take the kitchen”
I swam to what looked to be the upstairs……I looked through the bedrooms and what looked to be a bathroom……I saw a toilet. I swam toward it, and opened the closed lid. I found a piece of the amulet!
“Joey, I found a piece!”
“Good, now we have three…..two more to go! Look up in the attic, I believe there might be one there….and I’ll go to the basement to see if I can try to find the final one.”
I was riding through the icy water with Gyarados, who was moving quite fast. The Attic was long and narrow……I had to leave Gyarados and swim through…..I cleared it a couple of times, and found a glimmer of gold in the left corner of the attic. I swam to it and grabbed it. One more!
“Joey, I’ve found the one in the attic….did you find the one in the basement?”
“Not yet, Jason,” He replied. “I’ve searched everywhere…..”
“Well keep looking….we’ll find it,” I said.
It was really the only thing we could do……I got back onto Gyarados, and I started coming down to the 1st level, when I see the piece on the roof of the house.
“Gyarados, up there,” I shouted.
Gyarados swam up to the roof and I jumped off and grabbed the piece.
“Joey, I have the rest, now what?”
“Meet me in the basement.”
I mounted myself back onto Gyarados and he took off toward the basement. I saw Joey waiting for me treading in a golden door with 5 slots, two of them being filled with golden pieces. I cam over to him and gave him the other three golden pieces. He pushed them into the slots.
“Return your Gyarados….the water will be gone in a second,” he said.
“Okay, Gyarados, thank you, return!”
Joey opened the door and waited as if he was waiting for something to happen. The Psychic energy holding the water in the house collapsed, and the water drained out the door into this large cave with very high ceilings. After the water was gone, the Pokeball pieces from the door came together, made the ball, and fell into the water. Then out of the pokeball came a bridge stretching over the water from the doorway from where we were in the house, to an elevator at the other side of the cave. That was where we needed to go. What I didn’t know what there was a slight problem. The key was in the ground that the water drained to.
We crossed the bridge to the other side, and one of us had to go down to get the key.
“I’ll go,” I volunteered. “I can use Salamence to fly down there then take out Gyarados and land on him. Then I’ll return Salamence, and go down into the water again.”
“There’s a slight problem,” Joey commented. “You remember how the water was bound in place by Psychic power…..well as you might have noticed, it’s free now…and these waters are very special. They were taken from a sea storm by Black Rayquaza himself. He could manipulate the rage of the water and multiplied it to make sure only the toughest could pass.”
“I can do it….Gyarados and I will get this key. Go Salamence!”
Salamence came out onto the bridge and I climbed on. I motioned to Joey to ride up too, and he followed. We flew to the other side, which was very long. I’d say a football field wide. Joey got off of Salamence, and gave me the “thumbs up” to go ahead.
“Go Gyarados!” I yelled as I threw the ball into the air. Gyarados landed in the water and I flew on Salamence and caught the luxury ball that was housing my water pokemon.
“Now Salamence, return,” I said as he was returning right under me….I fell into the water, where Gyarados came and got me. It was time.
The water wasn’t as cold here, so it was a little better in that respect. However, the waves were dark and raging….Gyarados couldn’t move. The waves had stopped him in his tracks.
“Gyarados, return!”
I knew I had to do this alone. I dove into the deep waters, and was just trying to swim against the water…..harder than it sounds. I got to the bottom, but didn’t see the key. Then I turned and saw it floating around the bottom about 50 yards away. I started to swim and the water took me….I was flown against the hard rock wall….after that I don’t remember much…….All I know is I saw a Blastoise grab me seconds before I passed out, and a man whose face I could recognize on any day grab the key I was so desperately longing.
I awoke a couple of hours later, to Joey standing over me compressing my chest….water was coming up. Supposedly I had drowned when the water forced me against the wall.
“It’s okay…..you’ll be fine Jason,” Joey said as he finished helping me cough up the excess water.
“Thanks…..can we open the door now?”
“Okay….lets open it….”
I took the key and sat up…..I walked over to where the elevator was and put the key into the hole. I heard the elevator “Ding” and we entered the elevator. This elevator was specifically different. It did not have any buttons, emergency levers, nothing. It just closed the door, and started moving downward. The door opened to find a room with a desk right in the middle and nothing else. There was a hallway that leaded to another series of rooms. This was it…..the underground city.
And this is where I must stop….as were too tired to even walk. I only have enough strength to write this down….but now we must rest, for we know there is much to come.
Sincerely,
Jason Viel.
End of Chapter Six
Chapter Seven
September 3rd 2114
I’m not sure what to say at this point…..were just kind of moving through this inch by inch. Right now were living in the underground city….and what a GREAT city this is. I figured out why I didn’t see anything/anyone…..because it was 4 AM and if anyone was there they would be sleeping.
I awoke to find someone staring over me…..but it wasn’t James.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Who are you??” the man asked.
“I was about to ask the same question…..I am Jason Viel….I’ve come with my friend Joey to find Black Rayquaza’s box.”
“Oh, so your one of the alliance then….welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay here….”
“So who are you?”
“Well it’s a long story…..I’m actually one of Black Rayquaza’s best friends…..well was. My name is George Rock IV. I’ve been down here for quite awhile…..but its okay because I can live for quite awhile thanks to B-Ray. You see, you’re very close to the box…..when he left he told me someone would come here with Joey and need the box. He told me to tell you some things about himself and the box. So here we go. Black Rayquaza was truly gifted as far as thinking….he said that if things got bad with Ruby, he would leave the Alliance for awhile, so that Ruby didn’t start a war to kill him. If Ruby killed Black Rayquaza, they’d own the Earth. That’s why he hid….he wasn’t scared…..but he knew he had to in order to keep hope and power in the Alliance. He asked me, the 2nd in command of the Alliance at the time, to help him construct a plan that the Alliance could only complete. They could only complete it because they wouldn’t be able to find the key….it was hidden in the National Headquarters. I’d like to see someone sneak into Black Rayquaza’s office, mess around with his computer, and take the key. Nearly impossible. I’ve been waiting for you to show up. Theres some information I’ve been asked to give you about the box. First of all, its not here……that would be too easy for Ruby so we didn’t choose to hide it here. Second of all, I have food and supplies for you here…..you can stay as long as you need to. That’s why I’m here…..B-Ray told me if anyone needed a rest and they were a true Alliance member, that this location could be used for a makeshift base. Third I have to give you these”…..he handed him 2 little boxes. “That is for you and Joey. They are life capsules. “
“Wha?” I asked.
“Let me explain. You see, 16 years ago, when Black Rayquaza first realized he had to go into hiding, he needed to rest assured he wouldn’t die hiding. Obviously, we all can realize why that’s not a good thing. So, he created a small organization of scientists and friends….only people he could trust. He put them to work on one of the biggest projects in Alliance history….a pill that would make you never die……but that’s impossible. This is a close second……you can only die one way…..but we wont get into that as its VERY VERY uncommon. Just take the pill, and all sickness, physical wounds, diseases, etc will disappear forever. There were only 7 made…..one for B-Ray, one for me, one for you and Joey, and one given to B-Rays cousin, Katie. The rest are hidden with the box…..we did this to ensure the human race’s survival. If Team Ruby wins the war…..they might try to blow up the Earth trying to find B-Ray. We took the pill….to always have a shot….to have a chance to fight back…..so that the Alliance will never die.”
“So can I take it now?” I asked.
“No….we need to prepare the formula first. You need to drink a special formula of herbs and plants to react with the pill to make it work. Lets go over to the kitchen and cook some up.”
We got up out of the room with the desk and ventured down that hallway I mentioned earlier. We went down past 12 doors, and George finally went into a room that resembled a modern kitchen. It had a sink, a big row of counters, a stove, a toaster, a microwave, with a little black coffee maker next to it. Lying in the far left corner, was the refrigerator. It was chrome with an ice maker inside the freezer door. Pretty Cool huh? George went over to the fridge and took out 4 oddly shaped plants. One was shaped like a star….one like the sun, the other like a circle, and one more shaped like a crescent moon.
“These plants were made to represent balance…..one is for the sun, one for the stars, one is for the Earth, and one for the moon,” George said.
“So what do you do with these?” I asked.
“Team Ruby would blend them….but that’s a trap. We actually have to use a move on it using a Pokemon.” George grabbed a pokeball from his tool belt and threw it into the kitchen.
“Go Gardevoir!” he shouted.
“Use Magical Leaf, then Psychic!”
Gardevoir sprang leaves of all colors, made them spin in a circle, and then added the plants. The Pokemon created a mixing bowl! Then the leaves that made the pot turned purple, and the plants were shredded. Then, they rose out of the pot, and were concentrated into the glass to form an orange liquid.
“Wow, that’s amazing” I applauded.
“Why thank you…..it was actually all B-Rays doing….he figured nobody in Team Ruby would have a Gardevoir with both of those moves…..and not many I know can do it like that. Anyways, drink up…..but not all of it, only Half. We have to save some for Joey”
I drank the orange liquid….it tasted like every fruit taste I could think of, combined….it wasn’t bad….but it definitely was pure. That’s the one thing I remember tasting the most. The mixture was so pure, full of life, it really just brightened the surroundings. So now I guess I’m never going to die…..
“Good….now that that’s all over I can give you some more instructions.” He told me.
“Black Rayquaza knew that you needed help…..so he provided it. Here is a something he told me to give to you…..even I haven’t seen it yet. He told me to save it for Jason…and then when the time arose, he would need it. Come with me……”
We walked back towards the way we originally were, and took a sharp left. We walked down another hall for a very short time and came across an old iron door. The ironic thing was it had no handles….it was a solid door. George took out a pocket knife from his pocket and carved the letters P M C onto it. The letters started glowing and below it a line was made from the glow. George wrote “Beyond all expectations” on the line…..the letters glowed green this time, and yet another line appeared. He drew his pocket knife and carved into the iron door How it used to be. The whole door flashed purple, then gold, then black. Then the door plunged into the ground and opened the room. This was a sight I will never forget…….and at that moment…….it seemed as if everything had been explained to me.
*End of Chapter Seven*
Chapter Eight
September 4th 2114
Black Rayquaza was a very smart man….but I knew nothing until I’ve seen this….it was unbelievable. It seemed he always knew what to do at the right time….what was in the room was simply amazing…..
The room was not at all like I expected. It wasn’t extravagant, but it was everything you could hope for. The walls were painted purple….with gold trim. Besides the color, the room was actually quite bare. The only things in it were a desk, a package sitting upon it, and a metal door off to the left.
We stood in awe at the room…..to imagine that we’d even gotten in was enough, but we couldn’t believe that this was what we were looking for. On the wall was a rather long letter….written in what seemed to be marker.
It read: Hello. I’m sorry to say that I am not here to greet you….weather you are good or evil. I’ve left……to go to where it is safe. When I was thinking of where I could go…..I found the right place where nobody would ever look to find me…..and if they did, they’d die as soon as they set foot there. Please open the package on the desk….its crucial to my survival.
-Black Rayquaza
We both started reading, and even though I finished reading before George, I still stood staring at the words……where did he go?
“Lets open the package,” Max said.
We walked over to the small package….it was incased in gold foil…..we opened it to find a box. This was black and hard unlike the foil. We took off the top to find a scrap of paper, a letter……and a pokeball.
“Letter first.” The scrap read.
We opened the letter…..it was written on what seemed to be silver paper…..with small little gold lines….we opened the letter and we were amazed.
September 21st 2100
Reader,
The world is not what it was. It’s funny how you think you’ve figured out how to make something foolproof, and then of course it becomes horrible. It happens…..it’s just a realization that people have to accept and get over. Some people have a hard time doing that. It is been awhile since I’ve seen anybody. I don’t mind it, or regret it, but it’s the truth. Things haven’t been the greatest in the past 10 years…..its been horrid. I didn’t cause it, nor influence it, but nonetheless it happened. Crazy how something like that can happen. Anyways, let me introduce myself…..not that it matters as nobody will probably find this, but I’m Andrew. If any human life form is reading this right now, congratulations. This means there must be survivors…..which are good. As of now, which is while I am writing this, I’m going to be saving my life. I’ve come to the conclusion that the world, Earth if I wasn’t specific enough, is not safe any longer, and it is crucial for my existence. This piece of writing is the last thing I will leave behind as a sign of my living being. Until I return, stay safe. And take this you’ll need it. I’m sure your not wondering what it is, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out. It is a pokeball…..since they are indestructible it should be around until someone finds this. Either you….or if there is no you, me. In the pokeball, you will find a rather rare pokemon; some may know it as Celebi. Ask it to take you 15 years into the past from the date I have written this. Meet me at the Empire State Building in New York City, USA, top floor. I was there that day…..I do not remember why. Maybe I was waiting for someone……anyways; I must end this letter now. Time is of the essence.
Sincerely,
-Black Rayquaza
PS: Bring this letter. And Celebi.
We both just looked at each other……he had left Earth?? This doesn’t make sense……Team Ruby tried to make a moon base….but soon abandoned the idea as it was impossible to live on the moon. I grabbed the pokeball….and Max just stared at it. It was a solid green colored ball, with a S engraved on the top.
“Go Celebi!” I yelled as I threw the green ball into the air.
The green Pokemon arose from the green light that came before it…..it was simply beautiful. It was bouncing through the air….just waiting for my next command.
“Celebi….we need to go into the past…..September 21st 2100. New York City.”
Celebi’s body flashed a bright yellow…..the whole room turned blue, then red….then we arose into a daze as we went through the years.
After a short period of time….our journey had ended. I was sitting in a bed, in what looked to be a hotel room. There was a bed beside mine, and George was sleeping in it as well. There was a window off to my right….I got up and looked through it. It was a raging city of colors and Pokemon flying recklessely upon it. The shops were filled with merchants and customers……the town was still very much alive from the last time I’ve seen it…..and I hope Black Rayquaza is the same.
*End of Chapter 8*
Chapter Nine
September 21st 2100
Well, I’ve officially made it into the past. Since I wasn’t alive at the time, I’ve just gotten settled here, and I must say the past is a heck of a lot better than the future. Things are joyous here…..there really aren’t many problems. I went for a walk outside…..the sidewalks are clean and shiny, the stores and flourishing with shoppers, and everything just seems brighter. The walk was great….people were friendly overall. I met some kids battling in the nearby school. The kids reminded me of my youth…..school always was fun. I returned to the Hotel, took the elevator and pushed the white 5 on the panel. The elevator quickly rose up, and in a minute the doors released and I walked out. This was a very nice hotel-The walls had pretty, green wallpaper with a nice stripe pattern. The floors were in a black fabric and softened the force of your foot when walking. The Ice machine was in the room next to the elevator and as I went that way I heard some commotion in Room 503 as I passed.
“No, I will NOT move to Boston,” the women screamed.
“Honey, you know we need this job. Mr. Brinker has offered double the salary I’m making at the Alliance base…..he said we could have full benefits and everything. We can finally take that vacation to Hawaii you wanted.” the man replied.
“I won’t…..the Alliance means way to much to this family. How could you even think of betraying Andrew. He believed in you…..he made you, Tom. If you quit your job, I’m leaving you and taking John with me. Andrew can get me a job as a receptionist.”
“Fine then….I’ll e-mail you the divorce papers.”
At that point, the door opened and a tall, stocky, guy walked out of the room. His face was red with anger as he stormed off and hit the elevator button. He opened what looked to be a cell phone….although as soon as I knew what those were, they were replaced with our Alliance Messengers. For some reason, I could hear both sides of the conversation.
“Hello?” the man on the other end answered.
“Hi, it’s me. I’ve decided to take your generous offer and move to Boston. Unfortunately, my soon to be ex-wife and child wont be joining me.”
“Ah, well I’m very sorry you had to do that. Don’t worry, once our little project is done, she’ll come CRAWLING back.”
“Sounds fair…..thank you Brian.”
“Welcome to Team Ruby, Mr. Spriter”
Whoa. Wait a minute….that guy on the phone was Mr. Spriter?? It wasn’t Adam, though. It was most likely his father…or grandfather even. I was still in shock I’ve heard of someone this early. From what I heard, Team Ruby is just starting up. I continued thinking until I reached Room 223. To my surprise, the door was open.
I walked into the suite to find George making what looked to be Egg’s and Bacon on the stove. He was standing tall, with his long black hair and white hotel robe.
“Well, I see you’ve awoke George,” I said.
He jumped.
“Whoa….you scared me there. Yes, I did wake. We made it! I’m glad you’re here…..I thought you didn’t make it for a second….I left the door open just in case….I see you forgot your room key.”
I looked at the coffee table in the living room….two room keys were sitting on the table.
“Yeah, wasn’t thinking about that….anyways, now that were here….what do we do?”
“We have to get to the Empire State Building….and quick. I have a feeling Black Rayquaza won’t be there for long.”
“Oh by the way…..did I tell you that before I made it to you in Greenland, I was met on the train by Adam Spriter?”
“No you didn’t…..I guess you and James handled him all right. I imagine it would have been hard….he’s very well trained. His family comes from a long line of Team Ruby soldiers. His great grandfather helped Brian start Team Ruby.”
“I know……I’ve just seen his great grandfather. He just went down to the lobby.”
“What? You’re telling me, you just saw Tom Spriter in the hall there?”
“Yeah….he just left his wife….and then called Brian and told him all about it. Supposedly he’s moving to Boston to help Brian start Team Ruby.”
“This is bad, Jason….we need to talk to Black Rayquaza and quick. This is actually important.”
At this point, George took the bacon and eggs off the pans, put them onto a silver plate and ran into the bathroom. A second later, I heard the shower water running. I took the plate and dug in…..he was a very good cook. I remember that he was a chef before Black Rayquaza met him…..thank you very much Alliance History 1. I got an A- in that class.
Some time passed as I was eating my breakfast. I decided to turn on the TV. I changed the channel to the news channel. I didn’t believe what I was hearing.
“Authorities say Brian Winter, a rebel who escaped from the Alliance just weeks ago, is STILL at large. The man who had swore to take revenge on not only the Alliance, but the world is now #1 on the World’s most wanted list. We’ll keep you updated on this story as more news comes in. Back to you Scott.”
The woman’s picture faded into the news desk of the man, who was talking about how the Miami Dolphins were once again the best team in Football, becoming 20-0 last season, beating the previous record held by the New England Patriots since 2008. But I had no time for football….we had a crisis on our hands. Luckily, we had someone we knew who could fix it. I heard the bathroom door open, and in a cloud of smoke George appeared in a black pinstripe suit, white shirt, and red tie. He completely outdid me…who was only wearing the Red Jumpsuit I had worn 14 years past now.
“Here,” George said as he handed me a hanger with a white suit.
I went into the foggy bathroom and changed quickly. I emerged back through the door and quickly showed George the news reel I had just seen. Thanks to DVR, which has been around FOREVER, he saw what I did. He just stood there in awe as if everything were put together.
“We need to get to Black Rayquaza now,” was all he said.
We both got up off the couch and grabbed our coats and shoes. We left the hotel and hailed a cab. We had to as we had no idea where the Empire State Building was….
“The Empire State Building please,” I said to the driver.
The Cab sped up and made a quick right turn. We went down a couple of blocks and made a quick left. At that point we could see it towering over everything in the sky. There it was.
We pulled up to the tall building and the man held his hand out, expecting money…..the meter said $6.44 in L.E.D lights…..but we didn’t have any money….we only had Alliance points, which became the official currency of most of the world by 2109. George and I quickly looked at each other, and recognized what we were gonna do. I quickly slapped his hand as to give him a Hi-Five, opened the door and ran into the building. I ran up to the receptionist.
“Hello….what are you looking for?” The woman asked.
“Hi, I need to know what floor Black Rayquaza is currently at,” I replied.
“I'm sorry, there is no Black Rayquaza on my list,”
George looked at the woman, and then looked at me like I was some dumb person.
“Hi, I'm looking for Andrew Abad please…..sorry my friends a little under the weather,” George told the woman.
“OH...,” she said. “Mr. Abad is currently on the top floor…he had it reserved for today. He said he was expecting some visitors later….well just go through the elevator there and push the green button.”
“Thank you,” I told her.
We went over to the metal elevators and pushed the button. The doors opened familiar to the one’s I saw before at the hotel. We entered and George pushed the green button. The Elevator quickly rocketed up and stopped to a halt. The door opened and I saw something I was not very pleased about. Tom Spriter was standing over Black Rayquaza who was tied in a chair…..
*End of Chapter 9*
