Climbing on Hydreigon's back, they were instantly ran across velvet hallways, screaming like they were on a scary plane... not that the Dragon-Type was.
"Eek! Slow down!" cried Sarah. "You're smearing my Pokemon Makeup with all this wind!"
"And fast is what I do!" squealed Hydreigon.
"And slow is what I want you to do!" replied Sarah.
Sylvie chuckled, as she wasn't as fussy as Sarah about beauty despite being her twin.
Just as the wind was about to get so strong it would be as powerful as a Pokemon attack to them, Hydreigon got out the door and lifted off, napkins and silver plates spilled behind him and the maids raising their eyebrows.
"Hydreigon is as much a natural disaster as Yveltal himself." muttered Sylvie.
Hydreigon's eyes widened.
"You have met the legendary Yveltal? This is a party held in both Xerneas's and Yveltal's honor to prevent them from fighting! Rumor has it that there is a third that dictates the balance... of course, its just a rumor." replied Hydreigon.
Sarah and Sylvie exchanged worried glances.
"Say... you never told me why you two wear seashell necklaces. Your trainers don't seem to notice, but why do they seem familiar..."
Sylvie and Sarah exchanged more worried glances.
"Its... uh... a secret." stammered Sylvie, clearly caught off guard.
Hydreigon raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry if I am pressing too hard, I want to be a good friend despite being scary, but I feel like this is important."
Sarah and Sylvie sighed.
"Fine. We'll tell you." they said in unison. "Look, our mother, Ariel the Vaporeon, gave us these two necklaces when we were children. Among our family, the Eevee Clan, these necklaces were passed down for generations because they were rumored to summon either life or destruction. However, Team Plasma attacked our home, and captured some of us so we could serve a 'term' helping them steal and free Pokemon, then be free again. Among the captured was our mother, Ariel was one."
Hydreigon shed a small tear, which fell through the atmosphere.
"Wow... I had no idea you guys had such a sad story. Any way I can help?" said Hydreigon.
Sylvie and Sarah nodded.
"Yes, but we would rather not speak of them." they replied.
Hydreigon nodded.
"To cheer you guys up, in fact, I'll tell a joke! Why did the Chatot cross the road?"
"Um.. to cross the road?" said Sarah.
Sylvie elbowed her.
"Lame." said Sylvie, in a playful tone.
"No! To get the Oran berry! Hee hee heh!"
Sylvie and Sarah exchanged glances, then politely laughed.
"Okay! We're almost there, hang tight!"
"Wuh-woah!" they said together, as Hydreigon did a nose-dive.
Clinging on to his fur, their teeth clattered in their mouth as the roller-coaster that was Hydreigon descended.
"Hmm.. I smell smoke. Is a Darumaka or another Fire-Type attending?" asked Sylvie, sniffing the air. It smelled smoky, as if a Basculin was being smoked over a fire.
"Yes, but none of them make any smoke that smells like this. I'd better investigate." said Hydreigon, his happy-go-lucky voice now stern.
As they got down to the ground, though, they saw that something else was happening.
Three Emboar were attacking the town full of Pokemon, with only a few Pokemon defending the town. Flames rose from many suburban houses, and the two-story skyscrapers in the center guarding the mayor's house were almost completely aflame.
"We need to help! Sarah, lets Moonblast those pigs and teach them a lesson!" cried Sylvie.
Sarah nodded.
"I'll be rescuing Pokemon from the flames. Be careful, though, ancient legends say that if a disaster happens on the Life and Destruction day, then surely a big fight must be happening between both Xerneas and Yveltal, along with Reshiram and Zekrom." said Hydreigon.
Waving a head, Hydreigon flew into the flames like a rocket, using something that was like Brave Bird to get as little burns as possible from the heat.
"Okay! Sarah, target the leader! I'll target his goons!" said Sylvie.
"Sounds good to me. Be careful, Sylvie!" replied Sarah. "You wouldn't want your makeup to get smeared!"
"I don't even wear makeup." growled Sylvie, mood changed.
"What-ever. Look, just watch your back, okay?"
Sarah leapt towards the plumpest Emboar, who was blowing flames onto an ambulance, and started whacking it.
"Hey! Stop! Freeze or face the wrath of the Emboar gang!" cried the leader.
Apparently, the Emboars weren't very sharp, which Sylvie knew she could exploit. Sylvie smiled at the things she knew she could do with this weakness.
"You're Fire-Types, so how can I be frozen?" taunted Sylvie, dodging an Ember thrown at her.
The Emboar's focus changed, his gaze going away from Sarah. Sarah dove into the bushes, for one reason or the other.
"Eh? Well, I guess you can't freeze... whatever. Stand still or face our powerful Flamethrowers!" roared the Emboar.
"I can't stand still, I have ADHD!"
"What's ADHD? You're an HD Television?"
"Stupid you, ADHD makes me not be able to stand still. Do you have it?"
"I... don't know..."
BOOM!
"HA! Gotcha!" cried Sarah, coming out from the shrubbery.
Sarah had summoned a Trump Card, which hit Emboar hard. The lead Emboar crashed into a large tree, and snorted.
"Two pink Pokemon. What a goofy color. Eddie and Emmy, attack them!"
"Yes, Emboar!" said the Emboars at his side, bowing, if their fat would allow them to.
"Sarah, on my mark, use Fire Spin in unison!" said Sylvie.
"Fine. I'll cross my ribbons that it doesn't roast me and make me look like a Lavaridge Cookie." replied Sarah, but she still nodded and readied a Fire Spin.
Emmy and Eddie attempted Take Down on them, leaping up in a pose as if they were going to squish the Sylveons like pancakes, but Sylvie and Sarah unleashed their Fire Spins at the last possible picosecond.
"Ugh!" growled the Emboars. They were blasted back despite the move being not very effective, and bowled over their leader like bowling balls.
"Good! Let me finish this!" cried a voice.
"Who said that?" snapped Sylvie. She wasn't going to trust just anyone, which was how Sylvie rolled, of course.
A Shadow Ball came out of nowhere, and exploded on contact with the lead Emboar, knocking out the leader.
"I am Kennedy the Spiritomb, of course!" said the voice. "I have things under control, Sylvie and Sarah!"
"Gotta run! That Spiritomb is creepy!" cried Eddie and Emmy.
"Get back here, cowards!" cried Emboar, but his accomplices were already gone.
Suddenly, dawn started to break, and the warm rays of the sun extended over the great mountains.
"Great Arceus, we should be getting back before Lindsey and Zachary wake up!" exclaimed Sarah.
Quickly straightening her fur, Sarah trotted off to find Hydreigon for a flight home, and Sylvie had no choice but to follow, prancing like a Sawbuck behind Sarah.
As they disappeared into the flaming town, Kennedy was starry-eyed.
"Great Arceus... I see potential in them, yet them seem to ignore it... sighed Kennedy the Spiritomb. "For the good of Unova, I hope they realize it..."
Suddenly, a voice behind her chuckled.
"Heh heh... this will be good for master.." growled the dark voice.
"Keldeo?"
A blue colt stepped out of the darkness.
"I am Dark Keldeo, fool." growled Keldeo. "I am your downfall!"
Keldeo was dark purple, with his horn gnarled like a spiral straw, pretty much resembling Dark Lugia.
"Keldeo, what happe-" Kennedy was cut off by Keldeo's swift Aqua Jet, which knocked out Spiritomb.
"A K.O.! You are worthy of the Team Plasma name, Keldeo." said a voice. "Both Dark Balls, capture!"
They found Hydreigon working to get Serperior out from underneath a fallen tree, whistling as he untied Serperior from the tangle of vines. For some reason, though, his work was sped up by some odd force.
"Wow, you'd think he was a Speed Deoxys if you had 20/20 hindsight!" remarked Sylvie. "That speed is unrivaled by any other!"
"Hey, Hydreigon, when you're done freeing Serperior, could you fly us back home?" said Sarah, unfazed by the flaming branches around them.
"Uh... sure!" stammered Hydreigon, scratching his head as he worked. Hydreigon was burned, with scratches and cuts all over himself, but other than that he was fine.
Serperior squirmed, but Hydreigon put one of his mouths down.
"Don't do that, your spine is broken. I'll get Azurill to Heal Pulse you." said Hydreigon.
Serperior nodded, and straightened, trying to smile.
Just as Hydreigon was lifting the tree off Serperior, Hiku the Snorlax and Lillias rushed over, Lillias flying on the breeze and giant Hiku running among the buildings.
"Have you seen Kennedy?" said Hiku in a panic.
"Yes, but that was a moment ago when she blasted the Emboar gang with Shadow Ball and dispersed them." said Sylvie. Sarah nodded to back her up.
"I see. You see, though, we saw her too, but now our cell phone signals aren't coming through. That's odd, since Kennedy always answers her Iphone 5!" said Hiku.
"My fears are that she has been captured by the nefarious Team Plasma, along with the Emboar leader. A goon was spotted in the flames, a dark Terrakion and Keldeo by his side. Cobalion told us that they were captured in conventional balls, but if Team Plasma has found the machinery from long ago that can shut off the heart of a Pokemon... nobody is safe." said Lillias, floating on her flower.
Serperior slithered out, wincing at the pain of her cracked spine. Hydreigon reached for her, but she slapped his hand away.
"I don't mind Kennedy disappearing, but if it means that Team Plasma can poison the heart of a Pokemon... I think the prophecy foretold of this." said Serperior.
Hydreigon nodded, seemingly a tad hurt by the slap Serperior gave him. Sylvie couldn't blame him, that slap looked severe.
"Still, Sylvie and Sarah need to return to their trainers. We cannot risk humans discovering our town if they manage to find Sylvie and Sarah. I'll take them." said Hydreigon. Hiku, Lillias and Serperior nodded.
"Two disasters on the Life and Destruction day (Balance day, in short)... This means that both Reshiram and Zekrom and Xerneas and Yveltal are fighting... Sylvie and Sarah, I think you may have to go through Unova, then go through Kalos. If you survive that long, that is..."
Sarah and Sylvie gulped, but then an odd sensation swept them off their feet.
"Ugh.. so sleepy.." muttered Sarah, and started spinning in circles.
The excitement throughout the night had kept them up, and they had not realized how sleepy they were.
"Well, Hydreigon, get them back home quickly. Some local Tympole and Basculin have promised to help us put out the fires, and everyone is safe in the woods." said Hiku, smiling.
"No problem, Hiku!" said Hydreigon, looking weary but now full of energy.
Sylvie slid on his back, and fell into a state of semi-consciousness as she pondered what this meant for her future.
Author's Note: This is the seventh chapter of No Holds Barred! Not much to say, except that who the goon is and other things will be revealed by Chapter 10!

Prologue
Cobalion raced across the wide fields, darting over Unova like a rocket. Virizion and Terrakion followed him, along with a small, blue colt.
Panting, they saw the woods, and darted in.
"Come back here! Help us free all Pokemon!" called a voice from behind them.
"Virizion, use Grass Knot and get rid of our pursuer. Terrakion, put a boulder behind us. Keldeo... use your water-jets to scout for any aerial pursuers and make sure nobody else attacks us. I'll go to our grotto and hide." growled Cobalion.
His three allies nodded, and started to do their jobs.
Virizion ran back, and cried out.
"Yes! Now, come into my Ultra Ball... come on..." snarled the voice.
Virizion pretended to limp, and got close to the grey-robed girl.
"Lemme heal you with my Hyper Potion... get closer.."
Suddenly, Virizion stopped limping, and unleashed a powerful blast of grass, knotting it around his legs and trapping him, squirming in the tall grass.
Hmph. Humans cease to please me. Don't ever, ever try to capture a legendary. said Virizion, using human-speak instead of her usual Pokemon chatter.
Bounding away swiftly, Virizion signaled to Terrakion to push the boulder in place.
"Grr...." growled Terrakion, nodding.
He charged up to a nearby boulder, and started to push quickly.
Push... push... push... there. A boulder blocked the girl's path, and she lay there, squirming, like a worm that couldn't get back in its hole.
Keldeo stopped his patrol, and leapt over the boulder, chewing off the grass knot.
"Don't you dare follow us again, bad girl--Aah!"
"Keldeo, no!" screamed the Musketeer Trio, but it was too late.
A Net Ball plopped down on the grass, a click sound played, and the girl sneered.
"Too late, musketeers, I've got Keldeo and now we can capture the legendary Zekrom with it!"
"No! Let-go-of-Keldeo!" cried Terrakion, running forward.
"Terrakion, don't do it! We must free Keldeo later!" cried Cobalion.
Again, too late.
"Hmph. Our Lord will be happy with two of the four Musketeers."
As swift as a Speed Deoxys, the girl threw a Timer Ball, and hit Terrakion.
"Nooo!" screeched Terrakion, and scrabbled at the grass as he shrunk into the ball.
Yet another painful click, and the girl cackled.
"Goodbye... for now..."
Taking off his grey robes, she revealed a robotic body and disappeared just as it was exposed.
"No..I can't believe it..." sighed Cobalion, padding away.
Virizion tried to soothe him.
"Cody, its okay. The Sylveons of the prophecy will heal this, even if they can summon the Life and Destruction Pokemon." replied Virizion.
The two sad legendaries faded into the forest.

"No! Let-go-of-Keldeo!" cried Terrakion, running forward.

Chapter 6: Fennel's Request
Sylvie sat on a velvet cushion, relaxing after all that stress from the attack from Team Plasma. Sarah was on the same cushion, gobbling down a fat poffin and eating Mago berries.
Iced tea had been poured for them, in their own fancy china bowl.
Above them, Zachary, Lindsey, Amanita and Prof. Fennel chatted.
"So, lemme get this straight. The Dream World is a mysterious world formed by Pokemon's dreams, and we can breach its borders using your Dream machine? Pinch me, I must be dreaming." said Zachary.
Fennel smiled, and in the blink of an eye pinched Zachary.
"Oww.... so I'm not dreaming. Wow. Unova's technology is getting really advanced!" remarked Zachary.
Amanita, the smart schoolgirl, spoke up.
"Why, I'll tell you about my special PC Box!" squeaked the tiny girl.
"Your box? So that is who the 'Someone' was!" said Zachary. "I knew it!"
Amanita smiled. "Yes, that is my very own creation! It can store up to about 756 Pokemon inside, roaming around a virtual environment and living peacefully!"
Lindsey nodded.
"Sounds cool! Thanks for pampering our Sylveons, by the way!" said Lindsey.
Fennel nodded, smiling.
"No problem! Trainers around the world know me very well due to my fame, and I get paid by the Unova Scientist's Association about 2 Million Pokedollars each year, enough to buy everything and anything in Unova!" replied Fennel.
Groping for Sarah right next to Sylvie, Zachary said: "Well, shall I test out this Dream Machine with my own Pokemon?"
"No!" yelped Fennel.
Zachary raised an eyebrow, and Sylvie couldn't help but do the same.
"Why? Theres no harm in doing it-"
"Sorry for my outburst, its just that its not safe. Unidentified species of Pokemon do not have a place in the Dream World, as it takes time for the Dream World to recognize the Pokemon, and if we try to enter that sort of Pokemon in that world... its just too risky and unsafe."
Zachary and Lindsey nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Ms. Fennel, but we have to get going now. It was a pleasure meeting you!" chimed Zachary and Lindsey in unison.
"Sarah, get ready for the moment of coming into the Pokeball..." muttered Sylvie.
To their surprise, they were left to follow their trainers!
"Sarah, Sylvie, time to go!" said their trainers.
They seemed to like each other a lot, and to demonstrate it even held hands as they trotted down the staircase, Fennel waving after them.
"Do you think they could be a nice cou-" asked Sylvie, but she was cut off by Sarah.
"Shhh! They won't, notice that Lindsey seems to tease Zachary a lot?" said Sarah.
Sylvie rolled her eyes.
"Couples always go through that stage first. Just you see."
Leaping off the stairs, they landed on the shoulders of their trainers, surprising them. The hats on their trainers flew off, and they ran to retrieve them.
"I always laugh when they do this," remarked Sarah as they slid harmlessly off their trainer's shirts.
After Zachary and Lindsey caught their runaway hats and chuckled, they set off to the western garden in Striaton City to look at leaping Goldeen and Basculin, then to set off for Nacrene City.
"I'm bored. Tonight, want to go back to the Pokemon Town?" muttered Sylvie.
"Sure, I'm sure that by tonight we'll be in Nacrene City and sleeping in the Warehouse Suites." replied Sarah.
Glancing at each other excitedly, they rushed off to help their trainers battle.
That night, as Lindsey and Zachary settled down in their beds, Sarah and Sylvie pretended to sleep in their fluffy little beds until their trainers snored.
Just when Zachary started to snore, Sylvie opened one eye.
"Let's go. Oh, and don't forget, please do NOT act sassy and flirt with the others. That will ruin my experience." growled Sylvie.
Sarah nodded, although Sylvie could tell she wouldn't keep that promise.
"Oh well. Lets just go to the Pokemon Playroom and see if Hyredigon is there." sighed Sylvie.
As they padded down the rusty steps, everyone single creak of a door or squeak of a Rattata sounded like a Pokeball coming towards them or the roar of a mighty Onix, which made the nightime trip scarier.
Just as they were about to turn tail and flee, they arrived at the special Pokemons' room... when Hydreigon pounced outta nowhere and gleefully smiled.
"Hey buddies! Yay yay yay yay! Its the two pink thingies again!" exclaimed Hydreigon.
"Hydreigon, woah! That was a little scary! Please warn us next time! Still, that warm welcome was appreciated!" exclaimed Sylvie.
"Here, climb on my back. I'll carry you to the town, they're having a party there!" said Hydreigon.
Author's Note: Yeah, such a short chapter after a long time, yadda yadda. I just have a little writer's block on this blog, and my other, much more popular blog is taking a LOT of my time to manage. So, hang tight, this story will pick up soon with the release of the prologue and Chapter 7!

Chapter Five: Slumber?
Sylvie awoke to be a floating spirit, floating high above the Dreamyard.
"Wha...?" she said, but was greeted by silence.
Floating down, she saw herself as an ice statue on a podium, a round glass cylinder around her and green liquid around the statue like jelly. The same was done to Sarah.
"I have a bad feeling about this.. I think I'm being held hostage..."
To confirm this, Lindsey and Zachary ran up, eyes wide.
"Sylvie! No!" cried Lindsey.
The grunt came down with a THUD, and cackled coldly.
"You are too late! Your precious Pokemon is ours! Now, as the Sylveons are trapped in a frozen coma, their hearts are being poisoned so they will obey only Team Plasma! We also have Munna under our command, ready to hypnotize opponents! You cannot stop us!"
Zachary, being the idiot he was, charged towards Sylvie and Sarah, but was held by a Psychic and tossed into a cracked wall.
"Ugh!" he cried.
The grunt held up a Pokeball, and threw out her Glalie.
Sylvie pawed at Lindsey as she saw dainty tears in her master's eyes, but alas, Sylvie was just a spirit back then.
"Great. How can I phase out of my helpless state?" sighed Sylvie.
Just then, a bright light flashed, and a pink Munna tumbled to the ground, squealing.
"Curse of evil, bringer of bad luck, lift on this innocent Munna and bring her back!" shouted a voice.
Pink light flowed around the Munna, and a dark aura lifted from it.
"What?" growled the grunt. "I hate wrenches in our plans! Goodbye for now, but don't think I won't be out for revenge..."
The grunt vanished into the darkness of the ruins, and the ice melted off the Sylveons.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy. There must be a catch." grumbled Lindsey.
Just as Sylvie's soul started to rejoin with her body (Wow, I think Lindsey is wrong, thought Sylvie, but I hate being separate from my body) a long-haired woman ran in the ruins.
"Children! Flee! The complex will blow up in a minute, the nefarious Team Plasma left a grenade here!" cried the woman.
"One minute? Lemme get Sylvie and Sarah!" said Zachary, lunging towards the nearly-awake Sylveons.
"No! There is no time!" sighed the woman.
"But they are our partners!" exclaimed Zachary. "We can't leave them to blow up!"
"They will find a way out, I promise. Just run!" warned the woman.
With that, Zachary and Lindsey reluctantly followed the long-haired woman out, and Sylvie sighed.
"Great. Sarah, follow me. We shall follow them, despite the danger in doing that."
The walls rumbled as chunks of the walls started to cave in, and mushroom clouds rose above the trees.
"We would better do this quickly! There is little time left!" replied Sarah.
Nimbly, the two Sylveons manipulated their ribbons and floated above the Dreamyard quickly, escaping by a whisker.
Watching the moon, the Sylveons ignored the explosion of the factory below them.
Author's Note: Sorry for such a short chapter, its kinda late and besides, you need a break after that long, long Chapter 4! And yes, this is a disappointing end to their capture, but I don't have much time to work with and they need to proceed soon.
"Wha...?" she said, but was greeted by silence.
Floating down, she saw herself as an ice statue on a podium, a round glass cylinder around her and green liquid around the statue like jelly. The same was done to Sarah.
"I have a bad feeling about this.. I think I'm being held hostage..."
To confirm this, Lindsey and Zachary ran up, eyes wide.
"Sylvie! No!" cried Lindsey.

"But they are our partners!" exclaimed Zachary. "We can't leave them to blow up!"
"They will find a way out, I promise. Just run!" warned the woman.
With that, Zachary and Lindsey reluctantly followed the long-haired woman out, and Sylvie sighed.
"Great. Sarah, follow me. We shall follow them, despite the danger in doing that."
The walls rumbled as chunks of the walls started to cave in, and mushroom clouds rose above the trees.
"We would better do this quickly! There is little time left!" replied Sarah.
Nimbly, the two Sylveons manipulated their ribbons and floated above the Dreamyard quickly, escaping by a whisker.
Watching the moon, the Sylveons ignored the explosion of the factory below them.
Author's Note: Sorry for such a short chapter, its kinda late and besides, you need a break after that long, long Chapter 4! And yes, this is a disappointing end to their capture, but I don't have much time to work with and they need to proceed soon.
Chapter 4: Challenging Striaton
Sylvie let Lindsey bathe her and feed her Persim berries, then be brought back into her Luxury Ball.
"Snivy, what is wrong with you? I mean, aren't you nice to ANYONE?" asked Sylvie.
Snivy glared at her.
"Look, put your nose somewhere else. I don't like pink pokemon." growled the Snivy.
"You don't like any Pokemon, I take it." muttered Sylvie.
As Lindsey and Zachary walked along Route 2, Sylvie saw a few wild Pokemon (such as a Purrloin, several Pidove, a few Dunsparce, and a Tangrowth), but no wild Samurott... until the odd Pokemon attacked them.
Sylvie was eating a Cheri macaron when a roar came from outside her ball.
Dipping a paw in her macaron, she saw a large Pokemon leer... right at her.
Lindsey clutched Sylvie's Pokeball, and sent her out.
"Sylvie! Show that Typhlosion we're the best!"
Sylvie was sent out, and immediately the large muscles intimidated her.
"Why, hello." said the Typhlosion, his voice laced with infatuation.
Sylvie raised an eyebrow, but just then Zachary sent out Sarah.
"Do it, Sarah! Show Lindsey we triumph no matter what!"
Sarah weakly smiled at her.
"Its every Sylveon for itself this time." she said.
Leaping up, Sarah used Fire Spin on the Typhlosion.
Typhlosion growled, and used Strength on Sarah, punching her repeatedly and blasting Sarah into the woods.
Sylvie pounced, slashing deep into the thick fur of Typhlosion, and a great roar came from the Johto Pokemon.
Using a point-blank range Moonblast, the Typhlosion fell down, a bear's cry emanating from its mouth.
Before Lindsey could throw a Pokeball, though, Zachary quickly tossed his own Pokeball and caught Typhlosion.
One shake... two shakes.. three shakes... and then stars burst from the Pokeball.
Zachary slid out Sarah's Pokeball, grinning, and said "Sarah, return! Great job helping me get this awesome partner!"
A red light came out from the ball, and Sarah returned to her ball.
Sylvie stretched, and pointed her paw towards the ledge.
Lindsey smiled weakly, despite losing a bet against Zachary.
"Look! Its just small enough for me to get up on!" said Lindsey. Sprinting towards the ledge, she leapt on a small kink in the steep slope and vaulted over the sharp edge.
Sylvie followed, fanning out her ribbons to hover over the edge, then leapt.
Zachary threw his Pokeball, and Typhlosion came out, wounds still there.
"Thanks for the wounds, Sylveon." growled Typhlosion, glaring at Sylveon.
"My name is Sylvie, smartie, and I was told to do so by Lindsey, hello!" huffed Sylvie.
"Typhlosion! Use strength on the slope and make it more gradual!" commanded Zachary.
Typhlosion didn't budge, and just walked over to a berry bush, plucking an Oran berry and eating it.
"Aw, come on! I'll give you a Sitrus berry, or a poffin, or a macaron, even!" whimpered Zachary.
Lindsey rolled her eyes.
"The wimp." she said.
Typhlosion glared at Zachary, dressed in a blue jacket.
Tossing her ponytail over her shoulder, Lindsey looked at Zachary's desperate face with amusement.
Typhlosion glared at his trainer, growling.
"Make that an 'and', mister." said the Typhlosion.
Zachary sighed and let Lindsey lift him up the ledges.
As he went up, Sylvie saw him quietly take Typhlosion back to his Pokeball.
Lindsey saw his sad face, and patted his back sympathetically.
"Don't expect your Pokemon to like you at first, it probably won't." said Lindsey.
Zachary didn't seem to hear her, but nodded.
As they walked through Striation City, the large buildings towered up like the large Wailord.
The scent of fresh tea came from a restaurant, and provoked by a long trudge up Route 2, they settled down on a table.
Sylvie pawed at her Pokeball, seeing a blue-haired waiter give some nearby Drilbur some poffins.
Lindsey felt the ticklish sensation, and threw all of her balls.
"Come on out, guys! Enjoy the food!"
Sylvie bounced out, along with Snivy. They glared at each other, then sighed and parted separate ways.
Sylvie saw Sarah, Typhlosion and Oshawott enjoying a buffet, and hurried over.
Suddenly, a shiny Umbreon and a fully grown Samurott attacked them... diving into the Kelpsey berries.
A green-haired boy smiled at them.
"Well, well! Wild Pokemon! A starter and a shiny Johto Pokemon! Rare to find in this part of Unova!" chuckled the boy.
His eyes widened when he saw Typhlosion and the two Sylveons.
"Two unregistered Pokemon and a Typhlosion! My eyes must be deceiving me! Here, have some Rawst Macarons anyway."
Three plump macarons fell down from the counter, and they ate the tasty treats quickly.
Find the wrongly named Samurott.
Sylvie saw the Samurott glaring at the boy, seeming thankful yet unhappy.
As she realized that Samurott may be the key to finding out what the heck was going on, Sylvie finished her macaron quickly and pounced on the Samurott.
"Hey!" cried the Samurott.
"What's you name and gender?" cried Sylvie. A few diners looked at them when they heard Sylvie's cries, but chuckled and continued their meal, thinking they were going to roughhouse.
"What's it to you?" snarled the Samurott bitterly, as if it hated name questions.
Sylvie started forming a Moonblast, and Samurott opened its eyes wide.
"Okay, okay! I'll talk! My gender is female, and my name is Ignacio! There!"
Glaring at Sylvie, Sylvie's paw shut off the Moonblast. Sylvie wondered how that happened for a moment, then remembered her mother telling her about the powerful glare of the Samurott.
"Well, then, what information do you have on two legendaries clashing?" cried Sylvie in excitement. The hotness of the shiny Umbreon distracted her, but she still concentrated.
"Nosy to the last, aren't you. I know about Tornadus and Thundurus and Landorous clashing, Lugia and Ho-Oh clashing, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina clashing, Rayquanza, Groudon and Kyogre clashing, Mewtwo and Mew clashing... but the biggest clash of them all, Reshiram and Zekrom clashing."
Sylvie was silent, until she realized something.
"Reshiram and Zekrom? More about them later, please?"
Ignacio chuckled.
"Sure, I've taken quite a liking to you. Lemme get my buddy Shiro."
Before Ignacio could move, though, the shiny Umbreon appeared.
"Hey! Ignacio, bro! I've met two nice trainers I want to be with!" said the Umbreon.
"Shiro, I'm a girl." sighed Ignacio, as if she were used to this.
Lindsey and Zachary ran over.
"Hey! I want that Umbreon!" said Zachary.
"No! I want that Umbreon!" countered Lindsey.
Glaring at each other like rival Samurotts, they sighed and did Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide.
Lindsey got rock and Zachary paper.
"See ya!" said Shiro excitedly as the Umbreon disappeared into a Pokeball.
"The weirdo." said Sylvie and Ignacio in sync.
Sensing a strong friendship coming on, they did a
BFF FIST!
Ignacio disappeared into the ball after a few tries, and Lindsey smiled.
"Time to challenge the Striaton gym!"
When she said that, a fire-headed boy came over to them.
"Yes, ma'am! One thrilling Gym Battle coming right on up!"
The back of the bistro folded up, and a large, standard-issue dirt battlefield was exposed.
All three vividly-colored-hair boys lined up on one side, and Lindsey and Zachary ran to the other.
Sylvie and the other Pokemon followed them.
"Oh! So the girl has a Samurott, an unknown Pokemon and a Snivy! No matter, my Pansear will bowl over 'em all!" shouted the red-haired boy.
"My name is Chili, bytheway."
"And the boy has an Oshawott, a Typhlosion, and another unregistered Pokemon. I will b-be pleased to bat-tle y-you." stuttered the green-haired boy.
"M-my name is C-Cilan."
The blue-haired boy smiled.
"And that leaves me to referee, as the allmighty Cress! Begin, challengers!"
Lindsey smiled.
"This will be easy! Ignacio, please help me!"
Zachary raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah? Typhlosion will barrel over that little Pansage in no time!"
Ignacio came out, glaring down at the hot-headed Pansear. The monkey laughed nervously.
"Bring it on, wolf-boy!" cried the monkey, grinning sheepishly.
"I'm a girl, doofus. And I am NOT a wolf." growled Ignacio.
Sylvie watched them battle fiercely through her ball, wishing she could join in.
Ignacio used Hydro Cannon, but Pansear nimbly dodged and countered with Solarbeam. Ignacio deflected with a leg-plate, and it blasted Pansear hard into the wall.
Meanwhile, Typhlosion used Toxic, spitting muck into the face of Pansage. Pansage ran around, crying out in pain as the acid ate at its body. However, Pansage had another trick up its sleeve... Leech Seed. Three seeds landed in Typhlosion's fur, sucking the life out of the large Pokemon.
"If I were allowed to come out, I would defeat those monkeys in no time. Sigh." growled Sylvie, squirming inside her ball.
Suddenly, Pansear came out of its dent, and used Flamethrower. Ignacio managed to dodge some of it, but flames ripped at her fur fiercely, like a savage Hydreigon. Thinking of Hydreigons, Sylvie remembered Hydreigon. Poor guy, being so scary he didn't have a lot of friends.
Pansage battered Typhlosion with Leaf Blade, but the porcupine used Wild Charge, cloaked with strong voltage and tackling Pansage with gusto.
The monkey fell, and Cress raised a green flag.
"Pansage is out for the count! Zachary wins!"
While Zachary over-enthusiastically petted Typhlosion, Ignacio fought Pansear fiercely, biting and slashing quickly while dodging attacks.
"Go, Ignacio, go! You can do it! Use Waterfall on Pansear and finish this battle!" cried Lindsey.
Ignacio, seeing her new trainer, huffed in embarrassment and cloaked herself in a veil of water.
"Fine. I do not like being under the command of a human, but I shall do so, if I need to."
Charging up quickly, Pansear's eyes widened wide as Ignacio knocked over the monkey.
When the dust settled, Pansear was lying face-down, blood trickling from a few wounds.
"No! Pansear!" cried Chili.
Running over, he applied some potions and got Pansear off the battlefield.
"Pansear has fainted! Lindsey wins!"
Sylvie saw Lindsey smile, and smiled herself.
As the sun set over the horizon, Cilan and Chili handed Zachary and Lindsey two multicolored badges.
"Here. Have them. Your strength is unmatched, I sense great things from you!" said Cress.
"Ye-ow! The blazing sensation of your mighty tactics pumps me up! Right Pansear?" screeched Chili, running in circles.
"Yep!" replied Pansear, tackling his trainer affectionately.
"D-Don't mind my b-brother, he always is like t-this. Always on a s-sugar rush." stuttered Cilan, blushing.
Zachary's eyes twinkled as he immersed himself in the splendor of the Trio Badge.
"I got the Trio Badge!" he shouted. Taking out his badge case, Zachary slid the Trio badge into his case with a satisfying CLICK. Lindsey did the same, but polishing the badge with her shirt first.
Sylvie rolled over happily on the pavement as she saw her trainer happy, and rubbed herself against Lindsey's leg.
Cress noticed Sylvie, and glanced at Lindsey.
"Say, that Pokemon you have by your side looks quite rare! I think you may have mistaken this Pokemon for a shiny Leafeon, though, her fur has no sparkles on it!" said Cress.
"I recommend taking her to Prof. Juniper for an examination." chimed Cilan, without a single glitch.
"RIGHT! That hue of pink is zesty, I say!" exclaimed Chili. Cress and Cilan laughed.
Lindsey smiled, and so did her friend Zachary.
Suddenly, a figure swooped in, taking Sylvie and Sarah with it. As soon as it came, it left swiftly.
"Hey!" Sylvie heard Lindsey cry.
"Help!" cried Sylvie. The figure looked down at her.
"Shhh! Our Lord won't want us to get caught!" growled the thief.
Looking up, Sylvie saw a dark-haired girl wearing thick glasses and a black scarf over her mouth. She seemed like one of those odd knight-grunt thingies that escorted the big man off the grass square back in Accumula Town, which made Sylvie wonder what was really going on.
Too late, Sylvie noticed the grunt had robotic limbs and a hi-tech visor.
A black, metal hand reached up, and sprayed a strong gas into both Sarah's and Sylvie's face, making them feel sick.
The gas enveloped her, slowly shutting down her organs for temporary "death", or a coma. Sylvie felt a sensation of grief over her, as she was tossed into a glass and steel tube and tubes hooked up to her.
"Glalie! Use Ice Beam and freeze that Sylveon solid!"
A large, iced black Pokemon wafted up, a blue light forming around it.
"Wait! Isn't that too extreme?" cried Sylvie weakly.
BAM!
In the large tube next to her, Sarah was already an ice cube, nothing more than a temporarily "dead" body that was frozen. Sylvie's brain started to get very groggy, making it nigh-impossible to think.
The last thing she saw was a Musharna near her, dark energy emanating from it.
Then, ice and grogginess came over her, and Sylvie was no more than an ice statue.
Author's Note: Wow, long chapter! Anyways, what do YOU think will happen when the two Sylveons are probably going to be held for ransom? Comment!
"Snivy, what is wrong with you? I mean, aren't you nice to ANYONE?" asked Sylvie.
Snivy glared at her.
"Look, put your nose somewhere else. I don't like pink pokemon." growled the Snivy.
"You don't like any Pokemon, I take it." muttered Sylvie.
As Lindsey and Zachary walked along Route 2, Sylvie saw a few wild Pokemon (such as a Purrloin, several Pidove, a few Dunsparce, and a Tangrowth), but no wild Samurott... until the odd Pokemon attacked them.

Typhlosion growled, and used Strength on Sarah, punching her repeatedly and blasting Sarah into the woods.

One shake... two shakes.. three shakes... and then stars burst from the Pokeball.

"Look! Its just small enough for me to get up on!" said Lindsey. Sprinting towards the ledge, she leapt on a small kink in the steep slope and vaulted over the sharp edge.

"Typhlosion! Use strength on the slope and make it more gradual!" commanded Zachary.

Chapter 3: Preparing for Striaton
When Lindsey was sleeping in the Lilligant Hotel in Accumula Town, she let Sylvie and Snivy out. Zachary let out his Oshawott, Sarah and Archen (he had that Pokemon as his 8th Birthday gift) so they could also play in the Pokemon playroom downstairs from their room.
While Sylvie got to know the others, Snivy sulked in a corner, playing chess with a Golduck and eating Leppa berries. Sarah attempted to get Snivy to spar with them, but Snivy wouldn't budge from her dark corner.
"Whee!" cried a Hydreigon, flying in the air tunnel above them.
Sarah and Sylvie looked up, wondering who the heck would sound so cheerful.
"Hello, rare Pokemon! My name is Hydreigon! What is your name?"
Before Sarah and Sylvie could even open their mouths, Hydreigon hooted with laughter and resumed talk.
"Oh, you are quiet ones! Well, I love to talk! Do you love to talk? Well, I guess you don't! Too bad you can't fly, because this tunnel is reaaaaaaaaaaallly rad! Hoo hoo! I mean, the currents are SOOO hi-tech, and they give me a good workout! Say, you two seem a little on the skinny side, want to eat broiled Pikachu with me? Oh, I forgot, timid Pokemon like you eat berries! Well, eat fatty berries so you don't have to be as skinny as a rail! And why are you pink, by the way? Thats a redundant color! And what region do you come from? Pinklos? Hoo hoo!"
Archen prodded them in the side with his claws as Hydreigon chatted away.
"Don't listen to him, he always talks his head off. I wonder why he's here, he is supposed to be in Munna's office right now!" whispered the Archen.
"Wait, Pokemon can be civilized?" said Sylvie, raising an eyebrow.
Archen smiled.
"You two, you're so funny! There is a town Pokemon live in just outside Accumula Town! In fact, I'll show you it!"
Before the Sylveons could comprehend what was happening, Archen hauled them like prize Miltanks out the hotel and into the thick woods.
Just when getting prodded by curious Ferrothorns and Slakings was getting annoying, the thick grass stopped and a sand path opened up, leading into a group of brick buildings.
Two Pokemon were guarding the gates, both intimidating. There was a gargantuan Serperior and a rusty Klingklang, talking to each other in boredom.
When they saw Archen, they forced out grins.
"Why, hello, Archen, you're here again. My my, you've brought friends with you!" clanked the Klingklang, spinning like a top.
"Clearance given. You may enter Tao Town, Archen. Your friends may also enter." growled the Serperior.
Just when they stepped through the yawning steel gates, Serperior screeched.
"What?" screeched the Klingklang in panic.
Serperior clutched her head.
"I... feel something. Let me see both Sylveons!"
Sylvie and Sarah darted in front of her, eyes wide.
Suddenly, her eyes glowed blue, emitting a creepy aura.
"Sylvie and Sarah... I sense you have a dark path in front of you. The legendaries are once more clashing, despite being frozen in stone. Seek out the wrongly named Samurott for more information...."
Serperior collapsed, and Klinklang hurried over to her.
Archen screeched an odd cry, and immediately a Charizard flew down with an Azurill on top.
Lifting up Serperior, they flew off to a tall building with a medical cross emblemed on it.
"Will Serperior be fine?" asked Sylvie, nervously.
Klingklang nodded sternly.
After that, the only chatting was Archen showing them around.
Once they saw all of the little houses and buildings, they had seen it all. Just when they were thinking this, Chatots started to cry out like roosters.
"Its dawn! Get back to the hotel before Zachary and Lindsey think we've been stolen!" panicked Archen.
As he spoke, Sylvie and Sarah bounded over rocks and trees nimbly to get home, Archen trailing behind crying "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaait!" in desperation at their sudden departure.

Chapter 2: Announcement
Sylvie awoke in her ball, stuffy cushions underneath her. Lindsey bounced her around on her belt, and she had no choice but to cling on for her life.
Accumula Town looked and smelled nice, with the aroma of Combee all around and a lovely melody playing from the house on the hill.
Just as they were headed towards the center, a fat man dressed in classy robes was escorted by knight-like servants up onto the green grass to their left, and people gathered.
"What is that?" whispered Sylvie.
The Snivy in the ball next to her raised a leafy eyebrow.
"I dunno, ribbon-boy. Go trip in a mud puddle." growled the Snivy.
Sylvie looked away. The nerve of the sassy Snivy, sassing her with style!
"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. I want nothing but to portray an important message to y'all." boomed the large man.
Everyone nervously glanced at each other as he swept his meaty hand out as if to handshake a Shiftry.
"We think of Pokemon as equals to us, but are they? We order them around while they get hurt for no reward! Do our beloved creatures deserve such treatment? Free your Pokemon today, and think of this message for a while, ladies and gentlemen. G'day."
Suddenly, three men in black swooped out of nowhere, grabbing the man and escorting him towards Route 2.
The crowd was whispering by now as they dispersed to everyday life.
As Accumula Town was silenced again, a teenager appeared out of nowhere!
"Wha...?" growled Sylvie.
The green-haired fellow smiled weakly.
"Forgive me. I have a habit of sneaking up on people. I wonder what is wrong with that Ghetsis fellow, he likes to be... dramatic. Care to battle? I have time to kill." said the teenager.
Lindsey seemed to raise an eyebrow.
"So he is named Ghetsis? How would YOU know?" she said.
N smiled, as if they had just exchanged an inside joke.
"I take that as a yes. Go, Zorua!"
A red and black Pokemon popped out, growling as a wolf-like Pokemon should do.
"Go, Snivy! Its up to you!"
A giant hand picked up the ball next to Sylvie, and she sighed a sigh of relief. That Snivy was so annoying that Sylvie would find pleasure in seeing it faint.
Curling her ribbons, Sylvie pawed at the ball to adjust her view.
Zorua attempted a tackle, but Snivy dodged and kicked Zorua. The Pokemon cried out, then used Dark Pulse.
"Argh! So many bad memories!" growled Snivy as she tried to cover her face from the dark aura.
The teenager smiled.
"Why, Snivy, my Zorua has been through a lot. Don't worry, it will let up in a moment."
Snivy looked surprised at how he sensed what she said, and so was Sylvie. How was he supposed to understand them?
When the Dark Pulse stopped, Snivy took the chance to use Vine Whip. Vines cracking against Zorua's back, the Pokemon promptly collapsed, unable to take more.
"Zorua, great job! Retreat!"
A flash of red light blinded Sylvie, and Zorua was gone.
Snivy smirked.
Fishing out some cash from his pocket, the teenager handed Lindsey prize money.
"Here. Have it. I have a lot of money anyways. Also, I'll tell you my name: N."
Lindsey smiled.
"N. How mysterious."
Before she finished her sentence, though, N had vanished.
Author's Note: The story isn't going very fast right now because we haven't got the Striaton badge yet. I forgot the name, so don't expect me to say it!
