"Those sound like some big dreams," Hiro said. "Good luck!"

Hiro layed back and stared at the ceiling for a while. Occassionally, a fly would fly around the light and then off in a different direction. He also noticed how many cracks were in the ceiling and wondered how old the ship was.

"So, what do you want to do for the next three hours?" he asked about fifteen minutes later.

Teresa shrugged.

"No idea. You?"

By now, she was done, and was admiring the sketch- especially the Mighteyena.

((All in for a time skip, say 'Aye'. XD ))

(OOC: I guess it would only affect us, so why not? Good pun, by the way. )

They spent their time on the ship in the main room where there were several food and merchandise booths, battlefields, and entertainment Pokemon. It seemed like no time before the ship docked on the Seafoam Harbor.

Hiro looked out the window and was very taken aback by what he saw.

"Passengers of the SS Rayguaza, we apology, but we ask that you remain on the ship until we confirm it is safe to dock," an announcement blared.

---

Don't worry, I won't let these humans hurt you, Moltres replied in their language. It opened its beak and released a stream of fire that nearly reached the land.

(( XD It just popped out. ))

Teresa glanced out the window, and her face paled. Moltres was out there, shooting vibrant flames...Oh, how she wished she was out there! And then she saw it. articuno was there, his beautiful feathers shining in the sun as he flew towards his brother.

Aye...Articuno is even prettier than I thought..

She reached for a pokeball, then let out Dark, her Poocheyena, violet eyes still staring at the scene nervously. The canine was lifted by the gir, and whined. It seemed to want to stop what ever was causing Moltres to seem enraged, but the pup stayed still, golden eyes even more nervous then Teresa's.

"What a second! You're not going to battle them, are you?" Hiro asked in shock. "I don't know who would stand a chance against something that strong."

---

Professor Evergreen stood on the dock, watching the ship. 'When are they going to dock?' He wondered.

Teresa glanced at Hiro, then said,

"It flew through my mind. But not with Dark here. Plus, it'll only make 'em more mad. No matter what Dark wants, I'm not battling. I don't have an electric type, save for my Pichu. But they hurt themselves when they zap, so he's not an option. A pidgey would be KO'ed easily...And Flare could stand through, only she would eventually be knocked out due to their flying attacks...."

She kept her unblinking eyes focused on the area outside, then said,

"But I need to get out and find the idiot who caught Articuno in the first place. Give 'em a piece of my mind."

She clenched her fists under Darks fur, and the pokemon whined again.

"Ai. If you can't stand that fire tthat Moltres is tossing at land, come in here." Teresa took out Dark's pokeball and recalled him .

((If I can't say teh word up there, I'll edit it. ^^;; ))

((OOC: What word? Idiot?))

"Well, we can't just stand around..." his sentence was cut short as a white aura surrounded both of them. He was frozen on the spot and suddenly felt a tingling sensation as the cabin went out of sight and he soon found himself on a wooden bridge.

"Nice of you to make it," Evergreen said casually as if they hadn't appeared out of no where like that.

"...here," Hiro automatically said as he regained control of his body. "What happened."

"You must be friends of this young man," a chilling voice said from behind them. It was the cloaked woman Evergreen had met on the ship. "A great catastrophie is in the making. Please, follow me." She about faced and started walking. Looking in that direction, Hiro saw a Pokemon Center.

"Should we go?" Hiro asked, still trying to get over what happened.

"Well, I trust here," Evergreen said. "She seems to know a lot about these legendary birds."

"HE Moltres won't stand againts Articuno's water type moves." Vince thought as Drake engaged Moltres in a legend battle. Now Articuno was fully suduced by Drakes dark power. Now Drake was fully in control of Articuno.

Articuno stared at his brother. What.... huh.... his icy blue eyes were clouded over by shrouds and veils of violet. Was Moltres really his brother? What? Wait? Huh?

NO! He couldn't just give in to this dark magic! NO! Moltres- Wait- What WAS Moltres? Did Articuno really know him?! YES! YES! Moltres was his friend! His brother! His kin! Right? Right? Right?

Articuno was confused. With the last of his sane mind, he threw himself at Moltres with so much enshusiasm, his wing touched Moltres' and it burned. The shock and pain of it brought him back to his senses.

"You'll pay for that, human!"

"Darn it looks as if Articuno is too strong for Drakes dark hold." Vince suddenly threw up a pokeball which released his Blastios. "Now Blastios! water gun!" Blastios shot Moltres with a high powered blast of water. Moltres it self plunched into the dark watery depts below...

((Yup. XD))

Teresa stared as she was teleported, then her eyes were drawn to the site of the legendary birds. Articuno tackled Moltres, and singed his wing.

"That's not good..."


Wih a sigh, she followed the strange woman and Prof. Evergren.

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Teresa." She muttered under her breath.

((Sorry for the delay..This'll be my last post in a while....Where's Samr14...? Oh, and are our Pokemon evolved..? Wondering...))

The group entered the Pokemon Center and followed Evergreen to a computer.

"Professor Elm from New Bark Town e-mailed me these images of the walls inside Union Cave a few days ago," he explained, showing them a picture of a stone wall engraved with odd writing.

"Those look like Unown," Hiro observed.

"Right," Evergreen said. "I can translate some of it. What's weird about it is that it's exactly like the poem Mystel has told me."

As if given a cue, Mystel nodded and recited her poem.

"The legendary three
Let them live free
If their freedom be deprived
Disaster shall arrive

Fire, Ice, and Lightning
Beaten not by fighting
Shall destroy the Earth
With no new birth"

((Yeah go ahead a pick about 2 pokemon to evolve. I'll try to contact Samr14.))

"What going on? Huh, the two birds are before me. Wait was I attacking them? No that can't be no...no.no!!!" "Herrraaagghhh!!! *breathing deeply* So the birds huh? I'll catch em I'll catch 'em all!!!" With those words echoing in the distance Vince with no warning threw a pokeball that cought Moltres. "Heh the power! It surges through me like it my very own blood." No Moltres he couldn't have been caught no. Let me out!!! Let me out!!!


(( I made that one quick because we have a lot to get through. We have more than just these Legendaries.))

Drake smiled as Vince caught Moltres, "Perfect.....now do we wait for Zapdos to come to us or do we go to catch it?" Drake felt the power of Articuno, "Articuno! I am your Trainer! Obey Me!" Drake's Voice had darkened and Echo'd as he commanded his Pokemon.

((OOC: What the heck? You simply write one sentence and la-de-da, you catch a legendary Pokemon? Sorry, but it's not that easy.))

Moltres' ball shook violently and exploded. The legendary bird of fire took flight and pierced an angry stare at Vince and Drake. First, they captured his brother and now they try to capture himself. He wasn't going to take it standing down.

With a mighty, ear-piercing cry, it relentlessly blew fierce flames on the island. The inhabitants yelled in fear and ran in wild, aimless circles.

Officer Jenny was making her way through the scramble with a megaphone in her hand. "Please, remain calm," she shouted in the amplifier. "Board the ship at the western dock in an orderly fashion. Repeat, evacuate the island and take shelter on the ship on the western dock."

---

Hiro heard the announcement along with the rest of the trainers in the Pokemon Center. "Guys, we have to get out of here!" he said, frantically.

"Shoot," Evergreen replied. "I have to upload the e-mail to my laptop. It shouldn't take long." He removed the laptop hitched on his shoulders like a backpack and connected a cord he took from his pocket to it. Then, he connected the other end of the cord to the computer and pressed a button on the screen.

Mystel walked over to a window and looked out of it. "The birds have been angered," she said. "If those young trainers go after Zaptos, the Earth will be in grave peril."

Hiro walked up next to here. "Do you know where Zaptos could be?" he asked.

"The last sightings of Zaptos were to the north of Lavender Town," she answered.

Hiro turned back to look at Evergreen and Teresa. "So, how about it?" he said. "Let's go to Lavender Town!"

Drake frowned at Moltres, 'this one will be trickier to catch then Articuno', but this time he had a Legendary, but it was trecherous so he grabbed a pokeball from his belt, "Go Dragonite!" Dragonite appeared and roared at Moltres, "Now use Hyper Beam and Articuno use Ice beam!"

Moltres' rage grew. Not only did this trainer catch his brother, but now he wanted them to fight. But, he couldn't help but thing how dense this trainer could be. The ice would melt as soon as it hit his body. He released a explosion of flame that stopped the Hyper Beam in its tracks and sharply declined toward Dragonite with an Aerial Ace in mind. Whatever happened, he mentally promised himself that he wouldn't attack Articuno at all. He just couldn't.

---

Hiro watched the conflict from inside the Pokemon Center. "Is the upload almost done, yet?" he asked Evergreen.

"It should only take about two more minutes," Evergreen said.

Hiro punched his fist. "Well, I can't just stand here and watch those trainers destroy the earth!" With that he ran through the automized doors and onto the beach.

"Wait, Hiro!" Evergreen cried but to no avail. Hiro was already outside.

Hiro glared at the trainer and threw a Pokeball. "Go, Nidorina!" he cried. "Tackle Dragonite!" In a flash of white light, the poison pin Pokemon appeared and lunged toward the mystic Pokemon.

"Dragonite get ready for the attack," Drake knew that when the ice beam hit it it would become water vapor, slightly weakening Moltres, "ARTICUNO I SAID USE ICE BEAM!"

((OOC: That doesn't say much.))

Moltres' and Nidorina's attacks collided with Dragonite at the same time. However, Nidorina's power wasn't enough to penetrate Dragonite's hard scales and was send flying backwards and rolled onto the ground.

"Nidorina, return," Hiro scowled, recalling Nidorina to her Pokeball.

"Hiro!" Evergreen called running up to him with Mystel and Teresa behind him. "Why are you so reckless. You're going to need help."

"So, you're upload's done?" Hiro asked.

Evergreen nodded. "There's nothing we can do," he said. "We have to get off this island before Moltres attacks again."

"But, we have to stop them from catching Moltres," Hiro replied. He turned and ran toward the battle. "And you're not going to stop me!"

"He's determined," Evergreen sighed. "We'd better go help him."

Hiro and Evergreen both threw a Pokeball, releasing a Vulpix and Ralts.

"Vulpix! (Hiro) Ralts! (Evergreen) Use Confuse Ray!"

The two Pokemon's eyes glowed with a purple light that matched the color that Dragonite started to glow. With all their strength, they attempted to stop Dragonite from retaliating.

Moltres took its chance and unleashed a Fire Blast attack. The large star-shaped flames soared at the speed of light toward Dragonite.

"Whoa!? what in the world just happened here? Did I just try to catch another legendary pokemon!? No t-this can't be n-no no no!!! Somebody help me free!!!" Vince shivered for a minute then he got back to trying to catch Moltres. "Err hahah Drake I have an idea that just might work! Hahahah." Vince had an evil look upon his face as if he were trying something that Moltres would be devastated to continue. "Drake how about we use Articuno againts this stupid bird? Hahah that pathetic wretch would never attack it's brother." Now that was a bad thing, Articuno would never resist it's trainer now it's already been caugt too long it'll do what ever Drake told it to. And that made Vince extremly happy. Although as Hiro got to the location of the battle he felt as if somebody was trying to reach him. Somebody was asking him for help but Hiro didn't know who it was. As he got closer to the battle he kept having that feeling more stronger and stronger...

(( Sorry for using up your character a little but I really had to do it to get this plot moving.))
